“Great casual vibe and incredibly friendly staff! Food was really good (I highly recommend the street tacos) and the beer suggestions were on point! 5/5“

“This place is so cool. I felt like I was stepping into a 1920's jazz club. There was live jazz, dark and swanky, bartenders shaking up drinks and remarkable service. Not to mention the food was delicious. Try the deviled eggs, thank me later.😊“

“Great drinks, food and wonderful staff! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warm, welcoming service and cozy atmosphere that makes you feel as if you have hit the jackpot of the best bar in Seattle. Whether you’re planning an intimate dinner, a fun night out with friends, or just craving a personal dining experience Rochambeau is it! Every time!“

“Everything we had was high quality, flavorful and super a scrummy!! Guacamole/plantain chips, beef enpanita, shrimp tacos, brisket taco, Cuban Sammy. People around us had these beautiful cocktails with flowers, umbrellas, etc. Huge selection of rum too. Loved the decor and servers were sweet as pie.“

“Couldn't be sadder that they are no longer a morning cafe, was some of the best coffee I was having in Seattle and it was a morning ritual for me for a while since I live nearby. I haven't seen anyone in this city using timers or weights for their espresso which I always saw in my favorite Tokyo cafes.“

“The Rabbit Box rules for honest Seattle music. Low key, hi-fi, all genres of music and people, great food, and absolutely unique vibe. It’s under historic panels of glass built into the sidewalks on Pike St. at the Market. Seriously, you can hear great sounds, drink a fabulous cocktail and eat super food while you actually enjoy seeing people walk all over you. ❤️❤️🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠“

“A good place to stop in for a drink on a cold and rainy night. My bartender was awesome! The logo is pretty cool with an anchor and fishing hook!“

“When we lived nearby, my boyfriend and I used to go almost every week, and it’s the restaurant that we miss the most after moving. Their burgers are very good but the garlic pull-apart and the chicken wings are amazing! We also rarely got disappointed from the changing menu. Chili, chicken Parmesan, Cuban sandwich, lamb chop, tuna two ways, just to name a few memorable dishes. The consistency is pretty impressive. For the high quality of food, it’s also very reasonably priced!“

“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!“

“The food was phenomenal! Authentic, flavorful and so delicious. My mind was blown the whole night. Their mocktails and sweet tea are amazing! We will definitely be coming back!“

“10/10 would recommend. Off the beaten path, Adrian and team were a delight. You can see that they truly take pride in what they do. Friendly, queer friendly, quality, and vibes are a few of the many wonderful ways I would describe this place. Fantastic meal and drinks“

“I liked the punk-rock vibe (which didn't overwhelm in the mid-afternoon) and the extensive all-vegan menu. The roast-beef and horseradish sandwich was delicious, and clearly prepared with intentionality. Lots of non-alcoholic drink alternatives on the menu too. Note: Sandwiches are in the $18 range. Updated from previous review on 2025-12-15“

“I really enjoyed this spot. The entrance can be a little hard to find at night since the door is tucked off to the side, but once you’re inside it’s such a great place. It’s small in a cozy, intimate way. The bartenders were fantastic and the drinks we tried were top tier. We were received with some champagne before ordering! The whole atmosphere was a solid 10 out of 10. I’d definitely come back.“

“Great vibe! Great staff! Even better cocktails!“

“We surprised our daughter for an early 32nd birthday. The four of us had an incredible time laughing and being awestruck at the talented performers. These were first rate acts of singing, dancing, acrobatics, athleticism and grace. The venue, service, atmosphere was electric. We loved every bit of it! Worth the money and the food was excellent. An experience we’ll talk about for weeks.“

“Hip underground watering hole with lots of 70s decor“

“Rosebay is a nice hotel cocktail bar that I'm glad to see open up in the area. The space inside was decorated well for the holidays and there were plenty of festive options available. The drinks we tried were strong and hit the mark. Service could have been a bit quicker but we were there near last call which may have impacted service speed. Would come back for another drink in the future!“

“Fantastic location for music lovers, just a short walk from everything on the waterfront!“

“We happened upon the Diller room on our way back from Pikes Place market … what an unexpected but fantastic stop! If you love bourbon (and we DO) this lovely historic bar is a must visit. The bottle selection is exceptional, and Shawn our bartender provided great pours and the most welcoming attitude despite how busy he was!! A true gem of an experience in the emerald city!“

“One of our favorite places in Seattle to eat and chill.“

“Well worth exploring their whole menu. Light, bright, and refreshing. Literally drank mine so quickly that I forgot to take a photo! 😆 I will definitely be coming back, and can't recommend them enough. Quite a hidden gem (on the 2nd floor of Lincoln Square South).“

“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.“

“The best pizza in Seattle. We had the Mushroom Pizza and the Broccoli. Driving from Burien to Leschi on a Friday night and it was well worth it. this is our new pizza spot.“

“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!“

“Delicious authentic food and drinks are good. Great service by everyone !!!“

“Love to take out of town guests here to wow them.“

“Had a great experience here last night for a show at The Paramount. Food was good size portions, the passion fruit ginger soda is well balanced and refreshing, and the coconut crème pie was the perfect mix of flavor and texture. I had the salmon Caesar salad and my husband had the Chicken Schnitzel, both great flavor. We’ll be back specifically for that fresh made focaccia though! Service was great and friendly. On the more pricey side but I would expect that being across from The Paramount.“

“I made dinner reservations for my staff at A Stir after a conference in Seattle, though I was unable to attend myself—and I must say, I’m so bummed I missed it! The following Monday, I was greeted in the office by my entire team raving about how amazing the food and service were. Every dish was packed with flavor and crafted with quality. With team members who are gluten-free, it was crucial to find a restaurant that offered more than just a basic salad. A Stir exceeded expectations with a full menu of creative, nutritious dishes and an extensive selection of wine, cider, and gluten-free beer. On the morning of our reservation, I received a thoughtful email from the executive chef, Ton, with personalized recommendations. This added such a nice touch and made the experience even smoother for my team. Our reservation was at 6:15, and when my team arrived, dishes were freshly served, hot, and ready—a perfect way to unwind after a long few days at the conference. Dining at A Stir was the ideal way to close out their weekend, and I can’t wait to visit on my next trip to Seattle to experience it myself. Thank you, Ton and the entire A Stir team, for providing my staff with such a refreshing and memorable dining experience!“

“The prime rib was excellent. The service was superb. The people are very friendly, and the atmosphere is very welcoming.“

“This place is a gem! Go now! It's outside of the fray of the market. The staff is so kind and attentive. A lovely break from sightseeing.“

“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!“

“This place is amazing. The ambiance is dark and sexy, the staff is beyond welcoming, and the execution of the dishes is consistently on point. The menu is fun and hits from eclectic to classic. My wife and I have been here twice, and both times they slipped us a thank you dish. Normally we like to try different places, but 2120 is a place we’ll go back to again and again. Cocktails are inventive and complex. I have one gripe, I’d love to see this place expand to an international wine list, cause if they do this well at what they already do, their international wine choices would prob be exceptional. Owen Kotler Selections would be a great fit here. Shout out to Jason the Gm and our server was Will (I believe, sorry homie, strong cocktails blur my memory). The desserts man. It’s like everyone here really loves what they’re doing, and intense scrutiny goes into each dish the comes out of that kitchen. Top restaurant in Seattle for sure. More affordable than most too. Much love guys, well done!“

“Our first time here! It's tucked away with the other businesses near Pike Place Market. It's where Wild Fish Poke is and you'll see their sign on the right and then up the stairs! It's across from Matt's in the Market and on the 2nd floor. Place is small so they DO require a reservation! They have an assortment of drinks, several bourbons and whiskey. I got the autumns mark which has 4 different liquors and fall spices. My bf tried the "pickle back" which is a shot of bourbon + a shot of pickle juice. I'm not a fan of bourbon but man, you gotta try the pickle juice! If you like pickles, you will like this, their own recipe too! The loaded tots you must get! Truly loaded with tender pulled pork, pickled goat horn peppers (so good), smoked cheddar cheese, GRAVY and a soft fried egg on top! I LOVED their braised beef brisket! Three hunks of beef, slowly braised and oh so tender with arugula on the side and some nice buttered onions with subtle horseradish crème on the side. Dip the beef in that crème and braised sauce, delicious! To end the good food and drinks, we had the fried bread pudding that had bourbon caramel and whipped cream. You NEED TWO of these! Like it was that good and good for one person if you ask me. Our server was delightful and entertaining! Atmosphere has nice vibes, definitely casual.“

“The Chicken Tacos were perfect! Great place to grab a coffee or smoothie in the morn, then get a sandwich for lunch. when you get off, work go back and have a quick dinner with a drink! they have parking!! (tip your servers, they deserve it). Great prices & convenient if you work, play or live in the area.“
