The Spot
Rob Roy sits on 2nd Avenue in Belltown, a classic cocktail bar built around bartending craft. The James Beard Foundation has recognized the program repeatedly: bartenders were named semifinalists for Outstanding Professional in Cocktail Service in both 2025 and 2026, and the bar itself was a finalist for Outstanding Bar Program in 2023.

Regulars describe a room with real Belltown energy — busy, social, and anchored by bartenders who clearly care about the details of their drinks. That level of attention comes with premium pricing, and drink quality can vary from visit to visit, but the welcoming atmosphere and attentive service keep people coming back.
