Tavern Law is a bar on Seattle's Capitol Hill, in the U.S. state of Washington. [1]
Description
The speakeasy-themed bar Tavern Law operates in the Trace Lofts building (1919) on Seattle's Capitol Hill. [2] One published walking guide of the city has described the bar as a "very inconspicuous neo-speakeasy", [3] and another guide by Moon Publications has said Tavern Law has an "old timey-theme" with vintage drink recipes. [4] The business is named after the 1832 law that legalized alcohol consumption in public establishments. [5] The dark interior has a long, curved bar, as well as a "secret" upstairs area, accessible by calling a staff member from a phone booth. [6] [7] [8] There is also a mural of a woman, shelves with old law books, and vintage typewriters. [2]
The drink menu has approximately forty cocktails. [9] The pink-colored 7 Star Cooler is a moonshine cocktail with lime juice and soda water. [10]
History
Brian McCracken and Dana Tough opened the bar in 2009. [2]
Reception
The Not for Tourists Guide to Seattle has called the bar "speakeasy chic". [11]
