"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 reminds us of a galley-style kitchen on a houseboat, but in a charming way. We can’t think of any other cocktail bar we’d rather drink a goblet of fizzy txakoli rosé alongside some jamón Iberico, crackers, tinned fish, and baguette slippery with olive oil and salt flakes. They also have a disco ball and a playlist of funky-chill tunes. If you’re looking for a real escape from the tourists, this is the place." - aimee rizzo
"This little cocktail bar is a bit removed from all of the craziness of Pike Place around the holidays. It reminds us of a galley-style kitchen in a studio apartment, but we can’t think of anywhere else we’d rather drink a gin fizz alongside some jamon Iberico and crackers. On Christmas, they usually have a special dinner menu—keep an eye on Instagram for updates." - kayla sager riley
"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
