The Rob Roy: Same Old Belltown, Slightly Different Viceroy
The Viceroy isn't the Viceroy anymore! Belltown is still Belltown, sure, but the Viceroy is now The Rob Roy. The interior is the same (at least I didn't notice anything different). Only the name has been changed and was done so rather quietly a few weeks ago.
Apparently, owner Linda Derschang said the name change came about after hiring manager Tara McLaughlin (former Hideout). It's also the result of a desire to return the bar to its original intention of being a classic cocktail lounge. This, apparently, translates into something less Belltown-y. Or so one hopes! The smell of hair gel and cologne does not make a cocktail more appetizing.
