32 Best Cocktail Bars near Kenmore

“Headed down during a blue grass jam session, place was packed. It was freezing cold outside so I had a Hot Toddy and it was absolutely perfect. Great vibe, great people. Lots of families. I did not eat anything, but next time I will check out their food. I heard they have a farm to table restaurant moving in which would be awesome! If I had my choice, I would have Carolina Smoke BBQ come in and make it the blues capital of the eastside, but let's see what they come up with. HIGHLY recommended.“

“Awesome space, nicely decorated. Cocktail (their version of an Old Fashioned) was excellent. Wagyu steak frites with sauces excellent. Pork schnitzel okay. No dessert ordered. Service at bar was excellent. Service in restaurant was good but not really to standard for this price level. Dinner for 2 with cocktail, glass of Brut, 2 glasses of Pinot Noir $220 total inclusive (Feb 2026).“

“Congratulations on your new award for your pizza skills. Now the wider world knows what we know. Your pizza can't be beat. Great drinks, great salad, great brussel sprouts w/ bacon, great service, super nice guy. See you again soon.“

“If you only hit one spot in Seattle: go here. The pelmeni will send you to heaven and the owner is warm and welcoming. Turgenev vibes.“

“a fun speakeasy style atmosphere with great service, amazing drinks and good food.“

“Incredible experience. Really well made drinks, very well made food. It is obviously that a lot of pride goes into this place. Had the b&b burger was very well paired with the sinful tots and garlic aioli. The ube chicken and waffle was delicious. The Rawlings sandwich with truffle fries was balanced and flavorful. And the French toast to finish dessert oof… there’s a reason it has a reputation. Drove 20 minutes to try and was left full and still wanting more. Will be back, will be recommending to all my friends.“

“This was our first time here and I would say we were at about 80% satisfied with the experience, compared to other high-end restaurants in the area, the decoration and ambience were very underwhelming, but the staff was very professional, and it was very lively. Both salads were got were excellent and our entree was really good the lamb Ragu. Unfortunately the two starters were meh for the cauliflower was decent. The meatballs were a big flop, not sure if it was overcooked or the meat was too lean, they were really dry and took away from the nice sauce. It took about 30 minutes to order food, think someone forgot about us as the people that came same time as us we’re already eating before we could even order.“

“Really unique cocktails, delicious & creative food, plus a dark & moody ambiance. I highly recommend if you appreciate any of those things!“

“I love the few food items I’ve tried as well as the staff!“

“We live down the road and have made this our go to late cocktail craving. The entire staff is so refreshing. They are kind immediately upon arrival, even when busy. You never feel like a pain trying to grab a drink. The cocktails are made thoughtfully and they tweak the recipes depending on the season for fresh ingredients. Feels like a real hometown, elevated, new age spot and I’m so glad we have it close by. Thanks Bar Miriam!“

“Laurel is the perfect late night spot for those of us night owls who want a chic and conceptual lounge environment with an intimate atmosphere and sophisticated drinks. Come here to enjoy inspired cocktails and lite bites and maybe make some new friends. The service is superb with bartenders who know their stuff both in terms of alcohol and film , since there is a screen usually on playing the evening’s selection. It’s definitely one of my favorite new spots in the city!“

“Great and friendly bartenders.“

“It’s a punk rock bar. They have rainier!“

“Came here for an impromptu date night expecting some decent Italian sandwiches and cocktails, and walked away with one of the best meals we’ve ever eaten. Every item was amazing, and came out shockingly fast. The drinks were delicious, and everything was well priced. The waiter/bartender was knowledgeable, and upon finding out we were new to the area, provided a list of recommendations for restaurants. Recommend the brussel sprouts, arancini and the cheesecake wholeheartedly.“

“If you are a cocktail or spirits nerd, this is a CANT MISS bar. Josh is both personable and knowledgable, somehow effortlessly managing the door while also supporting all the bar and table seats. The least pretentious speak easy you’ll ever go to. 10/10.“

“What a find? We had diner at Tyger Tyger Saturday night. Started off with the hand rolled pork wontons. Was a great way to start our meal. We tried the Tyger Tyger Fried Rice, Rockfish with Sour Mustard Greens, Chili Cumin Beef and rounded out our meal with the Wok Blistered Asparagus and the Greens with Walnut and Bacon. WOW what a taste sensation. Favorite…. The Rockfish and Blistered Asparagus. Was very easy to order, the food was ready when we came to pick it up with utensils included. Pick up was all staged in accordance to the social distance guidelines and staff was very polite and accommodating. Can’t wait for the drink menu to become available. Cheers!“

“We had the best NYE dinner with cocktails and the staff was so kind, attentive, and gave the best recommendations. This bar is one of my Seattle top 5 and has always been consistent. The food, ambiance, drinks, and experience is always a level 10.“

“We stayed here for the Fia Tour. Such a cute chill hotel. Love the decor of everything and the rooms are simple but so very cute. I would definitely stay again“

“Really awesome little warm and cozy cocktail bar! Limited seating, but on a dry night it is nice to sit outside as they will have fire pits going. Great bartenders who make fantastic drinks. If you sit outside on the patio the service could be a little slow so you may need to order it from the bar itself.“

“I came here with my girlfriend this last weekend and not only have I been wanting to come visit for a long time but then we had the absolute pleasure of meeting our wonderful bartender Rachel and she just made the experience even better! I have to give her a shout-out! I can't wait to come back very soon!“

“Stopped in for Happy Hour at Rupee. Now—we are Rupee Groupies!!! Had 4 small plates, dessert (the Love Cake), and chai, as well as a craft mango and lemon soda and a ginger beer. This is possibly the best meal we have had in Seattle in some time! The entire meal was like a symphony of flavors, each adding a distinct character and together, like heavenly music. We will be BACK! Thank you so much Rupee! #RupeeGroupies“

“Food was amazing highly recommend“

“Such a great find! This brewery is tucked right next to the Olympic Sculpture Park, so it’s easy to walk past, but absolutely worth stopping in. The beers are excellent especially the Hazy IPA, which was super refreshing. Some options come in cans, though I was hoping for more on tap. The food selection was delicious, and I’m excited to try more next time. I’m especially looking forward to coming on a Wednesday for Vinyl Night, where you can play your own record for just a dollar. Definitely one of the best breweries to check out!“

“Came here for a date night. Service and atmosphere was great. The wine options were tasty. There were so many choices we opted for trio flights so we could have a variety. Definitely recommend! Our server was very knowledgeable and friendly. We'd definitely come back here again.“
