Krō Bär Bothell

I'm reluctant to recommend this place because it's small and I want to keep it all to myself. This is by far the best addition to downtown Bothell. Both the cocktails and food are incredible and unique. The servings don't look that big, but they are very filling. Definitely recommend the gnocchi and the shrimp & grits. The staff is friendly, efficient, knowledgeable and patient - it's hard to decipher the drinks with all of the unique flavors! My only complaint would be that it's quite noisy due to the high ceilings, but a younger crowd probably wouldn't mind that as much. Definitely looking forward to when they can roll up the door in nice weather!

I am super happy to have a proper cocktail bar in Bothell. The service has been consistently on point. The bartenders know their stuff and are happy to geek out and share stories. It's hard to get a seat here at the minute, so you should absolutely make reservations if you're considering going.

This has everything I want in a cocktail bar, and after seeing an exquisite attention to detail and consistency since opening, I know I will be back many more times.

Best food/bar food in the Seattle area.
Everything is well balanced and nothing is extreme in flavor mean it's very approachable. Also what a very cozy and fun atmosphere with the obeisance to be very art deco look, which can make the place seem vibrant and fun with out the crowds. The cocktails are probably the most exciting around.

The speakeasy vibe mentioned in previous comments is spot on. Loved our experience. Highly recommend sitting at the bar and chatting with the bartender. Watching them make the drinks is entertaining for sure!

We only tried one drink, but am planning on returning for food and trying other drink options.

So many reasons to love this place. Great menu, everything was perfectly executed, bartenders choice was A+, service is stellar, ambiance is top notch. Considering they just opened I’m floored at how great the experience was. Excited to go back.
