    No cocktail list! The mixologists come to your table and have a convo about your likes/dislikes and what you're in the mood for. They want to create something they've never made before!

    One of the lucky ones to get in without a reservation on the weekend. Call right at 6:00 PM. One of the best true speakeasy experiences (and cocktails) I've had. This place is a Seattle must.

    Head towards the bank vault door, pick up the old-fashioned wall phone and ask for a seat. If lucky, head upstairs to this sexy speakeasy, where the bartender will craft you a custom cocktail. Read more

    Once you're in, the noise and chaos of the bar below go away and you suddenly *feel like* you're in the 1920s. The ambiance of this place is incredible, making it a favorite speakeasy of mine.

    Relax. Don't try to impress bartender w/your depth of knowledge of cocktails. They're here to create something fab for you. Put yourself in their hands. Brady Sprouse is there on Wednesday. A draw.

    Very cool speakeasy. There isn't even a menu! The bartender will ask you 4 questions and from that he/she will make you a specialized cocktail.

    A great speakeasy style experience. No menu, just let them know what you like. Get experimental for a truly unique cocktail.

    Call on the phone downstairs & say ur reservation code to get in. There's no menu. Bartenders consult on what you like and make you custom drinks. Come on Tuesdays when Tim is working. He'll hook u up

    This is a pretty cool speakeasy style bar. Make reservations and let them decide what you should drink.

    Pork belly sliders and hamburger are truly outstanding - plus the interior design and mixology is top notch

    The Blood and Thunder is our pick for a tequila based drink-- delicious. You can find bartender Cale Green's recipe in the book "Speakeasy Cocktails" created for iPads. http://bit.ly/foursq_cocktails"

    Ask for a bourbon based drink, get the best old fashioned in history.

    No menu. You tell the bartender your tastes and they make a drink for you. Pretty cool.

    Secret upstairs inside of Tavern Law. Pick up the phone and see if you can go up!

    Upstairs in a secret room in Tavern Law, bespoke cocktails to your heart's desire.

    This place is trying too hard, but I liked it anyway. Bartenders need to not take themselves too seriously & realize they are making drinks, not curing cancer. NYC just does the speakeasy scene better

    Needs a reservation at least a week out but definitely worth it

    Terrible service. Extremely obnoxious bartenders. Refused valid IDs from out of state, forced me to cab back to my hotel to get my passport and refused to comp us anything for the hassle. Avoid.

    The reservation system is STUPID here!! Besides the needlessly "clever" and jackass automatic voicemail, I have been trying to get a simple yes or no answer to my reservation for 3 days!
