Before I write my full review, I want to make it clear that my comments are not related to the food/drinks, or ambiance.
The Colby Club is a cherished spot of mine, truly a hidden gem. My visits here are always wonderful, marked by great food and drinks, and the staff is generally outstanding.
It's a place I frequently enjoy visiting with friends and family. On this occasion, I was there on a first date with someone new. As always, the food and drinks were great, and my date took care of paying. However, as we were leaving our server followed us outside to confront us about the tip she considered insufficient, which I found quite awkward.
I feel it's important to mention again that this was a first date, and the person was someone I had just met. I am truly sorry about the unsatisfactory tip. Personally, I am a firm believer in tipping generously, 15-20% or more, regardless if it’s a restaurant, bar, coffee stand, etc. But since this was a first date with a person I was unfamiliar with, I didn't see the bill or the tip amount.

The music is tasteful. The chairs are comfortable enough. My only complaint is that the food is fantastic, so I wish the menu were a bit more expansive. Which isn’t a complaint as much as it is me wondering what else they can perfectly deliver.
I’d been mostly underwhelmed by bars in and around the greater Seattle area… to the point I’d begun mixing drinks at home. This...
Read moreThis is a little hidden gem on Colby Ave. Only been open for several months now. We came here after our dinner for dessert and drinks. Mattie our server was friendly and attentive.
What we ordered: 1.) Pretzel and cheese dip $9.00 The pretzel was not heavy like most places it was on the light side and boded well with the cheese dip. 2.) Brownie $10.00 The brownie was slightly crisp on the outside and warm and moist on the inside. Yummy 3.) Woodford Reserve neat $12.00 what can I say always a safe choice for Bourbon 🥃 4.) “Revival” Martini our friend said it was good. 5.) Virgin Hot Cocoa $3.00 I like it 6.) Aviation Cocktail $14.00 my friend liked it 7.) Widow Jane Apple neat $13.00 my hubby said once was enough.
This place was cute...
