The Barrel Thief

We really only had appetizers. Oil and bread, olives, and cheese plate. Had an Old fashioned, it was good. The atmosphere was fabulous. The service was phenomenal.

Barrel Thief is an absolute gem. I've gone there through a change of ownership, the pandemic and many other events and it has never managed to disappoint. It is, a tucked away phenomenal bar and restaurant. The Whisk(e)y selection is their main attraction and outside of Cannon, MWS and Jack Rose you'll be hard pressed to find a better variety of high quality whiskies. They have you covered from Bullet all the way to 50yr Glenlivet and specialty whiskies like Whistle Pig's the Spirit of Mauve or Yamazaki. Food changes a bit but I can't say I've had more than one dish I didn't like, and the staff is always receptive to feedback. The titular staff is the best part and while they've changed over the years they are, and continue to be the heart of the restaurant. Barrel Thief with it's whiskey passport, festivity nights and Whiskey vault manages to capture the atmosphere of a Speakeasy but the heart of a well worn local watering hole. If you are in Seattle and the above intrigues you, you are doing yourself a disservice if you do not visit.

I really enjoy this local cocktail bar. They have standard cocktails and a variety of really intriguing cocktails as well. Everyone at my table got something different and we all thoroughly enjoyed our drinks. Good small bites as well (not sure about other food because we didn't have any).
