Purgatory Craft Beer and Whiskey - Spokane (WA)

5 /5 Char Lopez: Absolutely loved this place! The concept alone is worth the visit. Separate whiskey, rum, and tequila bars, each with its own vibe and personality. You can tell they take their spirits seriously here. The service was exceptional some of the best I’ve had in a long time. Kayla, although new was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. Ryan made great recommendations without being pushy. Get the Purgatory Margarita, is splendid. Perfectly balanced, smooth, and dangerously easy to sip. Highly recommend this spot whether you’re a cocktail enthusiast or just looking for a unique night out in Spokane. I’ll definitely be back!

5 /5 Lisa Nash: Went here on a recommendation prior to the movies on Thursday evening. The drinks were phenomenal and food was delicious! Started out with the pretzel sticks and beer cheese for an app. Had the espresso martini then decided to mix it up with the Muffin, What about you. Yum, yum. Decided to go light for dinner with the winter stew & caesar salad. Our friend had the shrimp & grits. (Nice little kick to it) Definitely will be back!

5 /5 Howard Nicole (Nycci): It was my birthday and I had a wonderful experience. Service on both sides was wonderful. Im more of a tequila gal than whiskey but Im always interested in trying something new. Got a flight is whiskey tasting. And a couple additional shots of whiskey and tequila. Asked the bartender his favorite and he was able to give a great explanation of his choice. He also hooked me up with a beautiful tasty cheesecake. I will show this place to any friends and family that come to town.

5 /5 Stacee Connelly: Love this place! We randomly discovered it on our last trip to Spokane. Great food and the whiskey/booze selection is crazy. Great craft cocktails as well! Well definitely be back!

5 /5 Jose C Fernandez: If youre in Spokane and love a laid-back spot with great food and drinks, The Purgatory is a must-visit. I dropped in recently and was genuinely impressed—not just by the atmosphere, but by the flavors. I started with the hummus, which was creamy, rich, and served with warm, perfectly toasted pita. The portion was generous, and the texture had that just-right balance of smoothness with a touch of earthiness. It’s the kind of starter that works just as well with a cocktail as it does with a casual beer. Then came the steak bites—tender, flavorful, and seared with a beautiful crust. They were juicy inside and came with a dipping sauce that really pulled everything together. It’s rare to get steak this good at a bar-focused spot, but Purgatory nailed it. Speaking of drinks, their selection is massive. I paired my meal with one of their whiskey-forward cocktails, but their list is deep—over a thousand bottles of whiskey, plus a rotating lineup of craft beers and some very creative cocktails. The vibe is warm, rustic, and just edgy enough to be memorable without trying too hard. Overall, The Purgatory delivered on every level. Great food, solid drinks, and an atmosphere that makes you want to linger. Highly recommend.
