My Partner and I were out scouting venues for our future events and were very impressed by this venue! I was ecstatic to see a Puppy handling the music 😻 He had great taste! Definitely want to come back. We especially loved the upstairs area

1st they have to forcefully take away drinks from you by 2am is the law. 2nd mask on indoor places also is the law. 3rd I’m sure at your work place you follow company rules and that’s exactly what neighbors employee ask to follow. I always have ton of fun when I visit neighbors! Super safe place to dance your night away! Go Saturday night, Randy is the best DJ in Seattle!!!

Evan the Bartender is why I’m giving this place 5 stars! He was so so sweet and helpful I can’t even begin to explain. My friends and I are beyond appreciative for what he did for us. Genuinely cannot thank him enough, absolutely great person, the only reason I will go back! Thank you!

I convinced 20+ women to continue their night at Neighbors after Wild Rose closed for the night. I wanted to give neighbors another chance after two previous negative experiences, but after tonight I will not be returning and will be encouraging others in my social circle to not support the business because I do not believe they have the best interests of their customers at heart.
When I asked the bar tender for water because a random girl by herself was too drunk and needed water, I was told I could buy a plastic water bottle. When I asked it be given just a glass of tap water, I was told not that it is against the bars policy to provide free water. I asked for an empty cup to fill it myself from the sink, and was told no.
A bar that tells a Parton no when asking for water is not a place that deserves repeat business. If it is one bad employee, they should be retrained. If it is a bar policy, it needs to be examined. Multiple other states have laws requiring that an establishment provided free access to water if they serve alcohol. That Washington doesn’t is simply an oversight. Or maybe Washington doesn’t believe they need to write a law to assure such m a basic level of human decency as a glass of water that this bar tender almost seemed proud to deny.
Is neighbors going to wait until it is required by law to treat their customers right? When water costs then nothing more than washing a glass?
Edit: unsurprising to receive a response to this review that can be summed up by “tough luck, you can’t always get what you want. Be a customer with no needs”.
After my two other negative experiences, one of which was ALSO being told the only water options was to buy water, was denied being given a glass at 10 pm during service hours, I did speak with the staff. Didn’t post online, calmly brought it up to employees. I received a brush off in line with the spirit of your whole response, which is you don’t really care about the customer experience because you have a captive audience of being one of the few locations open that late, and the amount that you do care stops at the line where your legal liability is.
And the other people behind me at the bar? Were there with me, and were also shocked by the bartender’s response(edit 2:“bartender’s possessive “s” not plural. Singular bartender, not making anything up). We have spoke about it today, gone over the details of just how ridiculous the situation was. I did not start with a debate around the legalities, I started with a respectful request for water, and when I was denied asking for a different accommodations to fill the same need. The bartender in particular seemed immediately annoyed.
As for our shared friend, although she is a funny, kind, wonderful blessing from the angels, she’s also 22 years old and lacking in the life experience to know that she could even expect more from a bar than what she receives at Neighbors.
I’m sure this edit probably won’t even be read, I’m sure you are so immersed in the “it’s us versus them“ or “the side of the bar versus that“ mentality that is drenched in every sentence of your response, that you won’t even try to see how a simple jug of water on the corner of the bar could wildly improve the experience and safety of your customers.

I went here once and will NEVER be returning and I suggest no one come back to the place. The security treated me and my friend horrible and were extremely RACIST. I was peaking in Spanish to my friend and he told me to stop speaking different language because it was disrespectful to him... as a young latina women I was mortified and scared of this man (the head of security). He then yelled at me for not being "in single file line against the wall". I was just standing next to friend talking to her. He pulled us out of line and lectured at us by screaming at us for ten whole minutes. I was crying because he was so mean, and he just kept having this power complex. The women security were very aggressive too and touched me really inappropriately. I was super uncomfortable. I am a 5'2 24 year old girl and they were treating me like I was their prison inmate. He made us redo the line and said we could not speak at all or he would not let us in. We paid the cover and got in and it was basically empty. There were tons of creepy men. I will never go here again. save your time and money and go to Q club or rhino room. I was literally scared that the security were going to hurt me. I left in tears and in a ruined birthday. Cannot believe the racism I experienced. Only reason I put up with it is because I had some friends already inside. My white friends did not have an issue but the latino ones like me also had issues with the security. I was disgusted by their behavior. I can see now why its empty and they only let creepy men inside.

This club has so much potential, but the music is just so bad. This first time I went the music was terrible. I attempted to give the club another chance but it’s just not it. A lot of people were trying to dance and have fun but most just ended up standing in one spot a majority of the time waiting for a good song to come on. Darn.

Great bar service from all bartenders, but especially from Evan. When the security unfairly kicked out half of our group, Evan sorted it out and made sure our group wasn’t split up. The customer service from most of the staff was very nice overall, with the only exception being the security.

Security is horrible so we left. My friends had went in line while I ran across the street for some food real quick. As soon as I got back, the security guards starting yelling at me for having food while standing on the SIDEWALK. I hadnt even decided if I was going to wait in line yet, and they were yelling at me. They continued to yell at me and then shifted focus to the rest of the line to have everyone stand in single file. So I decided to leave, and as I was hugging my friends goodbye another security guard walked up to me and yelled at me in my face. So I yelled back I'm leaving and we left. I couldn't have been there more than 2 minutes. Would never waste another second there.
