Vinyl | Booze | FoodExcellent drinks with chill vinyl and pop culture movies playing on the screen. All the drinks are music themed and really well thought out. Really great feel, super clean, and knowledgeable bartenders.

A bit of an awkward experience. Everything was fun at first and service was great. Me and about 15-20 others joined for a grad night and as bars typically get loud, the waiter singled out a member of our group to quiet down which was uncomfortable. Everyone in the venue was just as loud so this ruined our experience and our large party decided to relocate. Quite disappointing considering the group was spending quite a bit and easily occupied the entire front lobby

Went here for birthday drinks, loved the low key vibe. Expect 13 buck cocktails that were tasty, and 9 buck pints that were good. Bartender was kind, cute, and good at their job. Would return one day when back on holiday! Loved the halloween decor too.

I went to this bar with a couple of grad friends we were here from an immersion. The bartender that made my drink first made it in the wrong type of cup, I ordered a mimosa. And then had the nerve to give me 1/3 champagne 2/3 orange juice. When I went to tell the bartender hey that’s too much juice that’s why the cup is supposed to be a flute cup so that you can add just a couple drops of juice. I guess he got upset cause he told me well everyone makes drinks different. He did give me a supposed discount charging $10 instead of $15. But all weekend my mimosas have costed $10 so I’m not really sure if he really was giving a discount. And In actuality mimosas are made basically the same anywhere you go. I did really enjoy the atmosphere, but after the rudeness of the bartender I just didn’t feel comfortable to buy anymore drinks.

This place rules. The first & the best vinyl bar in Seattle. Highly recommend. 🤘

DJ was excellent and was clearly having the best time which I loved. Lemon slushie was so yummy and actually classy?? Vibes immaculate. Only thing is there’s only one bathroom which can be a problem in a bar, but it wasn’t too bad. Would definitely visit for a pregame again.

Went here while visiting Seattle and will go for every other visit. Very cool. Vinyl only, EXCELLENT music. Stiff drinks. Great pricing. Friendly. While I was there someone made a witty comment saying “Revolver, the place you go for your last shot”. Awesome experience.

Fun place with good music for this old boomer, NO screeching karaoke like every other bar on the street. Good drinks, food seems like a after thought, the cheese plate seemed like it was sitting around for days with totally stale crackers and cheese starting to dry out.

Review №13

We got to the bar and ordered our drinks and I had forgotten my card so I paid in cash. When I pay cash I like to tip at the end so I can keep track of my money. The guy tells me the total, I put it on the counter, he looks at me and goes “no tip? Great.” And rolls his eyes at me. I chose to ignore him and not let bother me and I was still going to tip him before we left, until he comes out on the porch and aggressively grabs our glasses from us. At that point we were so annoyed by his attitude that not only did we not tip him, we left and continued drinking next door at the Montana. The attitude and the passive aggressive and aggressive aggressive comments and behavior were totally uncalled for. Tipping is the right thing to do and I always do it as someone who is also in customer service, but this guy lost his tip by being a jerk and I’ll be going back to any other bar on the strip before I step foot in here again

Impressive record collection. I hadnt been to a place where the bartender spins vinyl. He turned me onto Death, the pioneering punk band.

Just went on a Friday night for a couple hours , okay service with sugary drinks. Not a bad spot to grab a view drinks and catch up with friends.

Review №17

Cool little bar. They play vinyl and have kind of a retro 60s garage rock vibe. Service was fairly friendly and atmosphere was very laid back. Drink prices are pretty good. Overall I would say there is nothing amazing about this bar, but it wasnt bad either. The bathroom situation wasnt the best, but not the worst Ive seen.

Review №18

This place is rad! Vinyl records on the walls and constantly playing, weird videos on the TVs, and a fun bathroom experience I dont want to spoil here. Place is also super clean for as divey as it is, would definitely recommend. Im already planning to come back and would bring any of my friends here.

Review №20

Average beer selection with a cool ambiance. Service is friendly... kind of, but they get a little sassy. On two occasions Ive seen them talk negatively about customers after they left - customers who deserved it, but still pretty unprofessional to talk like that in front of other customers. Overall a fun place.

Review №21

Love the atmosphere and theme. All vinyl records play while muted old school movies are shown on the TVs. Great weekly sliders and soups and amazing staff. Also a dog friendly establishment.

Review №22

This bar is just plain cute. It sits on Olive way on a strip of bars, but if you like music. They play records have DJs and that s cool. The crowd is hip and mellow like the owner who is the nicest guy. If you love Jambalaya youd better stop in for a pint and a bowl I guarantee your gonna like it!

One of the best bars in Capitol Hill! They have the friendliest staff (Katie and Joe are awesome) and killer prices. Cool retro vibe featuring lava lamps, trippy bathrooms, and vinyl records playing all night!

From the moment I heard ASHBURY playing, I knew this place would be excellent. They play real vinyl albums, not mp3 playlists. The bartender was top notch, talking Heavy Metal and letting us know the set times for the MAYHEM show before we left. Great selection of beers and good grilled cheese, too. Top notch place.

This is one of my favourite Seattle hangouts. Nice little bar, nice little district. Great vinyl selection, food beet and the grilled cheese is great! Just my kind of place. Not a dive bar, just a fabulous local bar.

Review №32

Went in the middle of the week, the bartender was rude and unfamiliar with the menu. The bar and the kitchen were out of a lot of main ingredients, which meant half the menu was SOL. Outdoor seating fills up quickly, so try your luck or be prepared to take your cocktail with you.

Review №33

Seemed like a nice place playing decent metal and serving quality drinks but my Norwegian buddies (entirely sober in their best 40s) and I were asked for passport after coming from a metal concert. Had to leave. First time ever in Seattle. Don’t think they want Europeans there or something

Vo
Review №34

Some of the best unusual all vinyl DJ nights in Seattle are at Revolver. When there arent DJs the staff play records from the massive collection behind the bar. Its not a big place but its very cool. Great snacks like tots or fries okra. Theres a little outdoor area on the sidewalk fenced in so you can sit outside with a drink if you want to smoke or just get some air. Theres never a cover, but theres almost always some weird movie on the screens. Great bar for a music lover - the polar opposite of a sports bar.

All day happy hour on Monday, bartenders know their drinks and the vinyl always sounds nice.Happy hour deals are really good for this part of Cap Hill, but it isnt necessarily a date spot since it can get loud.

Good bar. Good drinks. Rude bartenders. Watched the bartender tell someone to take their drink and sit down after the guy inquired about the price. Don’t go here if you expect good service. I got my drink and promptly left.

The absolute best bartenders, spinning the most consistently excellent records in surprising combinations. Non-alcoholic mocktails that are actually crafted with Seedlip and Ritual and taste amazing. Dont miss this place!
