GOLD BAR: Reviews & Ratings
Gold bar is so fun!! The inside decorations were so cool. There’s a disco ball in the bathroom too! I got the blood in blood out cocktail. It was delicious. It’s a mezcal based drink, and it had the perfect balance between the blood orange and the mezcal flavor. Definitely will come back!
First time at Gold Bar. Chips and guacamole were unexpectedly unique and delicious (not spicy). The drinks were great and the ambiance was extra excellent with their creative outdoor seating situation to accommodate for covid. There was plenty of space between us and the next groups. We were in our own “pens” with one other table. Really great ambiance! It felt busy but safe and distant from others. I hope the city allows this type of seating more often. The staff was friendly and spectacular. Shout out to Jessica, our server. I hope guests can appreciate how much they’re doing (outside of risking themselves) for how many tables there are compared to staff.
My favorite bar in Seattle so far. It is cozy and the cocktails are tasty. I have had only fries which was good, can’t say more about the food. The bartender was great and even put napkins on all our drinks while we went out for a smoke. This is a great bar to meet up with friends since there are large comfy seats available. They also have games.
Great happy hour spot! This places looks small from the outside but is huge inside. Once we walked past the bar it just seemed to keep going and then when you thought you reached the end, there is an upstairs too! There are plenty of separate spaces that are great for Covid friendly get togethers. The staff was wonderful! Super friendly and attentive. The drinks and food were great and they also offer a happy hour mid week. Highly recommend!
Absolute smash hit nestled in the heart of Capitol Hill. Sat at the bar and enjoyed 3 of their delicious sandwiches, unexpectedly powerful meaty flavors and a smash burger that rivals greats from across America. I’m fired up about this place! No joke!
The menu, atmosphere and staff are a trifecta of Seattle at its best. Since opening only a few years ago Gold Bar has been loved by locals for their unique devotion to community outreach and eclectic design framed by a colorful menu that rotates lamb, yucca, funky cocktails etc. served by a staff that will treat you like family. Temp closed as of mid Nov. 2020, but as closure and reopening dates ebb and flow this is the place to revisit or check out for the first time. They will have covered and heated outdoor seating! We love you Gold Bar!
I rung in my 30th bday at Goldbar and WOW! Was it PERFECT! The venue is funky, unique and fun, they even have sparkly bars of gold on the walls ! Their staff is incredible and went above and beyond to make sure we were all taken care of. I can’t recommend this place enough!!!
It is called afterlife btw :) 3 Fantastic drinks, as well! For a bar, you’ll find the best bartenders ever; and they will be the nicest best people. Proper shout-out to Timothy, and Devon; but and nicest people ever! If you want to have a good night/have fun/be with cool people, it will be at AfterLife. The place could never be doubted
