A Rainier might be $12 but they're still gonna use that single ply supply house TP 🧻

Seattle water pressure and a coooold seat 🥶
That's means it's ventilated... probably.... right?

In a pinch it'll dooooo 💩“

“After getting turned away from a nearby bar for lack of ID, some friends and I randomly wandered into this place Canon—and honestly? The rejection did us a favor.

This bar serves the most outrageously fantastic, creative cocktails in Seattle. Bold, clever, and absolutely showing off (as they should).

The vibe? Classic old world. Moody, intimate, effortlessly cool. And just when you think it can’t get better, there’s an old-timey radio broadcast playing in the bathroom. Yes. The bathroom. Because commitment to ambiance and details matter. The food was delicious, the straws are glass, and the water glasses are crystal. A bit more $$ but worth every extra dime.

I loved this place unapologetically and would 100% go back. A must-visit, no hesitation.“

“lIncredible craft cocktails and delicious food (don't forget to try the cake!) But the attention to detail in the beautiful wood design of the bar and fixtures, the decor, and the down-to-earth staff make this my favorite spot in the city!“

“Great food, fantastic servers and bartenders. Super friendly neighborhood restaurant but also worth a drive if you don’t live close by!“

“Our first dinner in Seattle was at Joey Bellevue, and it was outstanding. We started with the mini French dips, which came with a port red wine au jus reduction easily among the best I’ve ever had. For dinner, I had the steak and ravioli blanco, paired with their signature crispy mashed potatoes. The steak was tender and flavorful, the ravioli was rich and buttery, the shrimp was perfectly fresh, and the crispy mashed potatoes were truly memorable. Our server, Lanesha, went above and beyond to make the night special. She surprised us with a crème brûlée cheesecake with strawberries as a welcome-to-vacation treat, such a thoughtful touch! The food, service, and atmosphere all combined to create a wonderful first-night-in-Seattle experience. Highly recommend Joey Bellevue for both locals and visitors.“

“Great food“

“I have eaten at Toulouse Petit many times. It is my husband and I's favorite spot. We have tried many items on the menus and have never walked away unsatisfied. The food is always amazing, the service is kind, and it’s just a place I love coming back to. If you’ve never been, you should definitely check it out. It’s one of Seattle’s best.“

“I totally forgot to take food photos because I was so excited to catch up with friends, but everything here was fantastic! The drinks and dishes were all unique and flavorful. As a farm-to-table restaurant, their vegetables and meats tasted incredibly fresh. I usually don’t order cocktails, but I loved their gin & tonic—perfect balance of bitterness, sweetness, and aroma. The old fashioned was also great with very rich whiskey flavor. The space is kid- and dog-friendly, and there’s plenty of parking. I’ll definitely be back to try more of their menu!“

“Incredible service!! So great for a special occasion. Felt like Michelin star quality. The salad lived up to the hype and the pork belly was really yummy. Nathan was a terrific server. We had an amazing birthday dinner“

“Great neighborhood location to eat on Queen Anne.“

“Great service, good food. Only complaint is they charged $4 more for my burrito than the menu price. She asked what filling I'd like and told me the options, and I choose carne asada. She didn't tell me it was extra though it did say it on the menu. I just hadn't seen it and I wish she had told me. Otherwise great experience.“

“👍🏾😊 Love Farestart! Guest Chef Night with graduation is so good!“

“We love Brianna’s Cafe! My youngest has a food allergy and the staff there went above and beyond to make sure she could have food that was safe for her, the food is great and the pie is delicious!!“

“I absolutely love this place. It is one of my go-to spots in Bothell for consistent quality and service. The food and drinks are excellent. I have been there at every hour of the day and highly recommend all of their menus.“

“Quick service, nice staff, a bit too loud, but I am usually hypersensitive to noise. They do have an outdoor alternative that could use some warming poles now that the weather is cold. Overall, we enjoyed it and the food was ok.“

“LOVED this spot. And the recommendation by Tom was 🔥🔥🔥🔥 definitely coming back!“

“The Attic is my favorite neighborhood hang. Everyone here is incredible—especially Nick and Rodney and Ernesto and really all the staff. They are friendly, attentive, and always make me feel like a regular. I live in Madison Park and make it to the Attic frequently, especially on Thursdays. I'm scared to say how great DJ Friday and Ella are at karaoke in fear the crowd will grow, but currently it's our favorite place to go sing some songs, have drinks, and always food. I've even tried brunch here and it was great! Breakfast sandwiches, pancakes, egg Benedict, salads all good.

We're so glad The Attic is back to being a perfect place to grab a bite with friends, watch a game, sing karaoke, and have celebratory drinks after an event.“

“Amazing food and cocktails! Great friendly service. Highly recommend.“

“TS SO TUFF IN OHIO“

“Had a great dinner our first night in Seattle!“

“Definitely made our first night in Seattle perfect. Fresh ingredients with great taste. Awesome staff and laidback atmosphere. Check it out if you haven’t!“

“I headed to Greenwood for some gumbo at 74th Street Ale House. I have had this dish and have often cooked it many times. It is a complex but flavorful dish with many ingredients, but the key is the roux. Flour, olive oil and canola oil are sloooowly browned and thickened. When the roux is ready a pile of vegetables, meats, and spices are added to the pot with broth. The mixture then simmers on low heat for hours. When ready, the gumbo is served over rice. 74th Street is the master! This bowl was as delicious as ever. I also had some delicious, spiced nuts as an appetizer. The service was slow.“

“Me and my family visited here after Snowflake Lane last night on Christmas Eve and they were able to accommodate 8 of us. The ambiance was pleasant, the drinks were amazing, and the food was excellent! My husband and I are vegan and they had several choices. I would highly recommend it here. A little pricey but worth it!“

“Excellent service, food, drinks and atmosphere. I was pleasantly surprised coming to this bar to have a couple drinks before a concert. Food and drinks came out super fast and were very tasty! Definitely recommend the S.T.F.U. drink and the Pork Belly Banh Mi Tacos.“

“Extraordinary food. Great service!“

“chili crisp sandwich is best chicken sandwich around“

“May be one of my favorite places on Microsoft campus. Had great share platters and nice drinks. I recommend their creamsicle mocktail. Was very well suited for a low maintenance but well run happy hour/team event. Very helpful and accommodating staff.“
