Description
The speakeasy-themed bar Tavern Law operates in the Trace Lofts building (1919) on Seattle's Capitol Hill. One published walking guide of the city has described the bar as a "very inconspicuous neo-speakeasy", and another guide by Moon Publications has said Tavern Law has an "old timey-theme" with vintage drink recipes. The business is named after the 1832 law that legalized alcohol consumption in public establishments.

The dark interior has a long, curved bar, as well as a "secret" upstairs bar called Needle & Thread, which is accessible by calling a staff member from a telephone booth. There is also a mural of a woman, shelves with old law books, and vintage typewriters.

The drink menu has approximately forty cocktails. The pink-colored 7 Star Cooler is a moonshine cocktail with lime juice and soda water.

History
Brian McCracken and Dana Tough opened the bar in 2009.
