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 bar called Needle & Thread, [6] which is accessible by calling a staff member from a telephone booth. [7] [8] [9] There is also a mural of a woman, shelves with old law books, and vintage typewriters. [2]

The drink menu has approximately forty cocktails. [10] The pink-colored 7 Star Cooler is a moonshine cocktail with lime juice and soda water. [11]

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". [12]
