What People Say

Reviewers on TripAdvisor and OpenTable rave about the creative cocktail flights, the knowledgeable staff who offer tasting recommendations, and the inviting, upscale ambiance. Many guests highlight the great location as a perfect prelude to a night out, and love the option to pair drinks with small plates that are both flavorful and beautifully presented.

Areas for Improvement

While many love the intimate setting, it can feel crowded during peak weekend hours. Seating is limited, so it’s best to arrive early or make a reservation if you're on a tighter schedule before a show. Also, the food menu is more small-plate focused — great for sharing, but may not satisfy if you’re after a full meal.

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking for expertly crafted drinks, shareable bites, and a cool atmosphere just minutes from the music, Northwest Spirits is your perfect pre-concert stop.
