Tavern Law is a bar on Seattle's Capitol Hill, in the U.S. stateofWashington.[1] Brian McCracken and Dana Tough opened the speakeasy-themed establishment in 2009. A sibling bar Needle & Thread is accessed via Tavern Law.
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]
Brian McCracken and Dana Tough opened the bar in 2009.[2]
The Not for Tourists Guide to Seattle has called the bar "speakeasy chic".[12]
