PennyRoyal in Seattle

Nice ambiance and amazing craft cocktails. The place wasn't overly crowded when we went and had a nice vibe to it. I enjoyed the music selection very much. The cocktails were delicious and well balanced! They have a decent whiskey selection if you aren't feeling their cocktails. The team that night was very efficient and made sure no one waited too long for a drink. Of course, we didn't mind they took their time in making the drinks because they were delicious!

I always look for good cocktail bars around Seattle and I have to say this place was not good I barely even finished my cocktail. I wish I could have gotten a different one but I didn't wanna be rude. I don't think the bartender that was serving me knew what she was doing. It is really cute in the inside so I am giving them a three star because of that.

I liked this joint. Perhaps my opinion is overly influenced by the lack of urbane drinking holes in SLC, or the fact I didn't spend an inordinate amount of time at Pennyroyal, but it seemed to be my kind of place.Dark, with dim lighting, there's a bit of a mysterious ambiance, and I never knew Pennyroyal was attached to a Kimpton hotel. It doesn't have that hotel bar vibe. The patrons were an eclectic bunch on this wintry Sunday night; dating couples, dot com unsociables staring at their apparatus, and singles. We were the "older couple," but we always are these days. The tattooed, "motorcycle mama" bartenderess was friendly, but perhaps a bit wary of my sport jacket and conventional attire. It wasn't a funky look, and formally dressed men give off a conservative, myopic vibe nowadays. Unfortunately, my Armani/Gucci clothes no longer carry any cache. I'm just an old dude in a suit. However, she poured my cocktail strong and handled my banter well. I wanted to return to Pennyroyal after dinner, but my wife was tired. Thus, we walked a little bit in Belltown and returned to our hotel across the street from Lake Union. I hope I get to spend more time at Pennyroyal. BTW, it would make a great date spot.
