Such a cute little hidden dive bar in the heart of Seattle! Best part is they are open until midnight when all the bars across the street close at 10! Whack! We stopped in after the other bars were closing and decided to give it a try! We are so glad we did! Our bar tender was super chill and it was super cool of him to go off the books when it came to drink making! I wasn't feeling so great and asked for a hot toddy and he hookkkkkeeedd it upppppp! He originally didn't think he had all the makings for it but he totally worked it out and made one of the best ones I've ever had! Shout out to him! Just wish we got his name but he works on Wednesday and I believe he said Fridays ( not so sure about Fridays but Wednesdays 100%!) so he knows who he is! Shout out to him! Thanks so much for great service and great drinks! Check out this spot the next time you're in town and want a late night drink!

I had fun meeting a friend here before a show. Underbelly is aptly named as it is partially below ground. Pop down some stairs into the purple-ish vibey atmosphere. I liked the unexpected addition of a large flat screen tv playing Archer on the wall. The place wasn't really small or big. At 8:30pm on a Saturday there was room to sit at the bar, and it started to fill up a bit as time passed. An aroma of delicious pizza filled the air and the person next to me said it was good. They had some interesting sounding signature drink options as well as many classics, all between about $14-18. I don't usually like really fruity drinks, but a splash can make a good addition, so I took a chance on one whiskey cocktail with Campari and a splash of mango, and another whiskey cocktail with fernet and pineapple liqueur. They were excellent, literally just a splash of fruit, so they remained liquor forward, and quite strong as well! I would say the service was mannerly and quick. They also have a stage, and someone was there either having some sort of stop-and-go performance or just prepping for a later start. I could easily imagine nursing a drink alone here, or better yet, catching up with friends with these great drinks, the dim lit vibe, and some mesmerizing live tunes.

I'd recommend going here during the day. Sit at the bar, yap with the bartender and enjoy the vibe. At night, it's (IMO) just like any other loud, dark bar.

Best drinks and best vibes, finally found a place that has alternative music in occasionally

I was in the Seattle area for the first time and I had an amazing time. Underbelly was a good spot to have a cocktail. It seems like a popular underground bar with jazz music. Service was fast even though they were kind of busy. Bartenders did a good job with the cocktails I ordered.

Great pizza, nice bartender in Pioneer Square. A little hot but it's summer. Would eat here again.

We popped in during the Lunar New Year festival when we were trying to escape the rain. It's a great spot in the "underground" section of Pioneer Square. The bartenders are friendly and made us great drinks. They have classic movies playing on the projector. We didn't catch any live music while we were there but they have it other days. We also grabbed a flatbread pizza and it was tasty. We'll be back!

Cool bar that we stopped into and stumbled upon some free live music. Bartenders were so friendly and we had so much fun. I loved it here

We thoroughly enjoyed our first visit here on a Sunday night. It was so chill, and although empty at first, the later it got, it started to fill up, and regardless of whether there were two people or twenty, the service was amazing. This place had such a chill vibe; most people minded their business, and I really liked the fun, relaxing atmosphere. Most people at the bar were easily interacting, while others stayed with their group; you didn't get a pretentious vibe here, and that was impressive for bars that look like this and so close to the historic Pioneer Square. A moment that stood out to us was when a local bar owner who was visiting (and friends with the Underbelly owners) decided to challenge one of the bartenders to a game of chess; it was hilarious watching this because he was so obviously tipsy yet determined, where else would you witness this?! :) We easily connected with the bartenders; they were so friendly and tried to chat with each person at the bar. They didn't have that air of arrogance you find in the city so often. One of the bartenders gave us a brief rundown of the place and mentioned the bar inhabits the old bank, which, if you do the Underground tour, you walk through in the original part of old Seattle. He also mentioned Underbelly is family-owned but relatively new within the last five years (if I remember correctly). FYI, the menus currently on Yelp are outdated, so I uploaded new menus for now as they're not currently providing happy hour. I recommend this place for friend groups, dates, or casual drinking. It's a nice aesthetic inside that can create a vibe, depending on what you're going for. We'll be back for some of the live music, which is featured on their IG.
