I was born and raised in Spokane- a city that I was stoked to show my partner. I heard decent things about the district bar- however when we were cruising by it was really slow and didn’t seem too inviting. Regardless, we decided to give it a shot. (Mistake) as soon as we entered the bar we WERE NOT greeted with kindness- rather crude smirks and a guy that appeared to be barely able to serve alcohol himself.The “bartender” asked for our ID’s in which he immediately smirked and said “Yeah I’m not taking this”. I thought he was joking- I mean I’ve gotten a few mclovin’ jokes since being here with my Hawaii license. But he wasn’t. He assertively claimed my ID had to be fake- and then proceeded to pass it around the bar to the two other patrons who smirked at our license as well- claiming “they can’t be real”.Well- cool story, Hawaii is a place- and although it may be small- guarantee no one from those islands will be visiting this local hub. I hope that in The future the district bar trains their employees to properly ID their patrons, rather than gaslight them in front of a few others (whom he was obviously trying to impress by denying a 27 and 25 year old service). Well friends- jokes on them…. We tip well and leave even better positive reviews than negative. I’ll be cruising by…. Anywhere else honestly. Spokane is still good- but damn…. District bar sucks!

We have a great time here and the food is great and considering it's a bar that says a lot! The waitresses are hit and miss as it gets busy they check up on you less and less but they at least put in some effort.

Very good few options and even less vegan options.

Great food, excellent service and we got into the concert early! Highly recommend!

This is an awesome place to eat and have drinks! Staff was super friendly and food was good!

We went for a concert. The menu they have posted online is not the same menu they offer when dining in. The food wasn’t bad but ti wasn’t fantastic. Service was amazing as always

Made this reservation to meet before a musical event downtown, on a Friday evening, to my surprise the place was practically empty. We had a great time, great conversation, awesome flatbreads.

Great place to eat before a concert at the Knitting Factory. Friendly staff and excellent service!

Our server Natalie was amazing and very genuine in conversation. The food and drinks were great and always my go to before concerts at the knit!

Love having a table to relax at before a concert!
