9 Best Cocktail Bars near Newcastle

“We love this neighborhood spot! Amazing food and great wine & cocktails. Above all, the staff are so welcoming and great. I highly recommend their dinner service and their happy hour (currently 3-5). Recommendations: any of their specials, their (vegetarian) lasagna, chicken pot pie, savory cheesecake, all the apps. They also have a wine club you can look up on their website. Definitely recommend this place for a date, after work to wait for traffic to die down, a special occasion or family meal. They have some cute outdoor seating and are family friendly. I would recommend reservations or at least looking but they also have a small bar you can sit at. On weekends I recommend a reservation as they are in a smaller space (don't let the location across from the Newcastle library in the shopping plaza fool you-this is a great gem). You will feel comfortable as you are, or dressed up here too. The friendly owner is often around to welcome you and make sure you are having a great experience! Parking is easy, it's friendly to persons with a disability, and there are vegetarian options. I am sure you can ask about other dietary restrictions. They have a great vibe and lovely art.“

“Wonderful cocktails, good food, lots of flavor, and excellent deserts. Everything over delivered and was beyond my expectations. Shane gave good service and we appreciated his enthusiasm explaining the Hemingway theme of the establishment. I'll be back.“

“Great dog friendly patio and great food for the price. Good drinks. Right on the hipster edge of being a dive bar“

“My Father's Day Surprise was a visit to Arleana's Restaurant in Kirkland, Washington. The atmosphere was very pleasant. The food was very good, especially the jerk syrup was was delicious. And I am very picky about jerk seasoning. The Bloody Mary had a unique flavor. It was not my traditional BM. But it was surprisingly great. It's quite a drive for me. But I will return for the selection of food, drink and ambiance. This was a great dining experience.“

“SO happy these guys are in the neighborhood! Their food is delish and the vibe is the best. I haven't been a "regular" at a place in well over a decade but my boyfriend and I stop in here at least once a week for the tasty food & drinks AND the awesome staff.
Sirin is an absolute gem, Colin and Donald are pretty fantastic and everyone else is top notch. They create the kind of atmosphere you want to come back to again and again. Love!“

“As a couple who travels often, in every city we go to, we love to find our favorite Thai food restaurant, and we have to say, Soi could definitely be it! Although we went an hour before closing, the service was amazing (very friendly!). We ordered appetizers (Spring Rolls), three dinner plates (Fried Rice with Chicken, Fried Rice with Crab and the Tom Kha Soup) and for dessert, Thai Donuts with the custard. Everything came quickly, fresh and all plated very well. All of our dishes were delicious! We would 100% dine in again while we're in the Seattle area... 10/10 recommend. Bonus: They do validate your garage parking ticket :)“

“Excellent food and service“
