"For smaller snacks like nuts, cheese, and jamon iberico, go to JarrBar. While it’s really close to Pike Place, it never gets crowded and works well if you’re looking for a quieter place. Enjoy the excellent daiquiris and the salmon rillettes by yourself - there’s basically no chance someone who just bought a Space Needle tee shirt will be here." - aimee rizzo
"JarrBar is a tiny bar located near Pike Place in Seattle, known for its unique focus on Spanish/Basque/Catalonian/Portuguese tapas and imported tinned fish, alongside a selection of sherry. Despite its popularity, the bar is currently facing financial difficulties due to rising costs, personal financial setbacks, and the impact of COVID-19 on revenue. The owner, Bryan Jarr, is seeking to raise funds to reopen and sustain the business." - Meg van Huygen
"Say you find yourself in the middle of Pike Place looking for drinks in a space that isn’t packed with everyone and their small children. Step into Jarrbar—a small, hidden spot where you can escape the market and temporarily be transported to a dimly-lit Spanish tapas bar. Their cocktails have an impeccable lemonade-level harmony between acid and sugar, and you can snack on various pintxos like tinned fish, jamón Ibérico, and olive-oiled baguette." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
"Maybe you’re looking for something more understated? For a cozy and come-as-you-are option, head to this IYKYK classic behind Pike Place Market on Western Ave. JarrBar will open at 5 p.m. on Christmas Day, serving drinks and a comforting family meal-style dinner special (last year it was chicken curry) and almost certainly showing a so-bad-it’s-good Christmas movie over its video projector." - Mark DeJoy
"Capacity: 30 If having chorizo, manchego, and cava in a moody, narrow space sounds like the kind of private party you want to have, Jarrbar is a no-brainer. This tapas spot has a convenient location for most Downtown office buildings, and yet is so far removed from the Pike Place hecticness that it should feel peaceful. We also highly recommend hosting a relaxed birthday party here. " - aimee rizzo
