The Bar Method Seattle - Phinney Ridge

• We strongly recommend reservations.
• Clients can reserve a class 14 days in advance on our website or mobile app.

• Treat waitlist reservations as true class reservations. If you’re on a waitlist, your chance of getting into the class is high.
• We clear the waitlist in order of client registration, If you are first on the waitlist, you will be the first person added to the class if a spot becomes available.
• If you’re on a waitlist and can no longer attend, please cancel your reservation. This will help you avoid no-show fees and help ensure more people can take class.
• You may be added to a class from a waitlist up to one hour prior to its start. If you are added you will receive an email. At this time we do not have the ability to text you if you’re added to class from a waitlist.

Cancelling Reservations:

• All weekend classes: you may cancel a reservation without penalty 8 hours before class.
• Classes before 9 am during the week:  you may cancel a reservation without 8 hours before class.
• Weekday classes after 9 am: you may cancel a reservation without penalty 3 hours before class.

No-shows:
