Things to Know About Purl Dive
We're a small craft cocktail bar with a tiny boutique yarn store in front.
We don't take reservations. Like most bars, you show up and see if there's room. And if there isn't, you wait 'til there is. It usually isn't too long of a wait depending on a few things:
1.) Parties of six (6) or more are a challenge for us to seat. You most likely won't be sat together, initially, but we do our best to make it happen after you're in. Also, you won't be sat until your entire party has arrived.
2.) If you've been drinking elsewhere and show any signs of intoxication whatsoever, you will wait until you're sober, which is probably the next day. In other words, you won't get in.
3.) If you're carrying a pizza or a bucket of chicken, or any other foods or snacks, go ahead eat them in your car or wherever. Just don't bring 'em in our bar. We offer food – like charcuterie, cheese, paté, seafood tins, sides, and snack mix.
On that note: Leave your emotional support water bottle in your car as well, as it is actually not legal to bring it in a bar here in Washington state. Thanks so much. Sheesh.
Time flies when you shop for yarn! That's right, the yarn store remains open during bar hours, so feel free to peruse. But please understand that yarn services such as sizing for a sweater, 'mathing' out skeins, and winding your yarn will only be offered during the day, rather than at night while the bar is slammed. We hope you understand.
PRO TIPS: Read our signs and respect them. Be patient. Know that we love you!
We also love babies, dogs... most animals, really. However, this just isn't the place for them. It's a bar. It's for grownups... human grownups.
House Rules
Hey! Don't you roll those eyes. We ain't exactly deer-in-the-headlights newbies to this whole 'running a bar' thing. But once upon a time we were and we learned this stuff the hard way, Besides, they really do make it a better time for everyone.
1. Counter Service
Order and pay at the register (yes, you can run a tab). This helps expedite service to your fellow patrons.
2 . Two-Hour Time Limit
We get it – time flies when you’re having fun. But please give others a chance to get in. Besides, if you’re here more than two hours, chances are you’re either talking too much or drinking too much.
3 . Three Drink Limit
See above (and below). And tomorrow morning, when you look at that fresh beautiful, not-hungover mug in the mirror, you’ll thank us.
4. Be Good or Be Gone
It’s a small space, so use your ‘inside’ voice. We want this to be a kind, inclusive, and safe establishment for everyone. So, in general, just don’t be an a–hole.
That's all there is to it. See? It's not so bad. Just common sense, right? ...Right?
