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 upgraded from a waitlist to a class up to one hour prior to its start.
• If you are upgraded, you will receive an email and a text message. (The text will come from a no-reply line. We will not see a reply if you text to the upgrade message.)

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.
