“Best dim sum and ramen! My son could not believe what he was eating! We love their food and friendly service and cannot wait to go back. We drive down from two counties north! It’s a worthwhile pilgrimage.“

“First time here and the amptmoshere here was jamming!! People are really enjoying the Karoke night. As far a food, I read online that the restaurant does Beer Battered Cod. To my disappointment they are not beer battered but Panko breaded and were overcooked and fish was dry. The pieces were large but thin. Fries were good and seemed like they were beer battered, crispy and a good amount. So i dont understand the online menu misguiding The staff was pleasant but never checked back to see how I was? No salt and pepper on tables and it took a minute to get silverware and napkins. Not sure i like the waiter stating they need a CC on file for the food order outside. I paid cash and was shorted change back. i'lll give it one more try buy would love to the Cod Beer Battered. It truly makes a difference. The cook did add 2 extra pieces for a sm extra charge of only $4.“

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

“Wow. This place was amazing. Helen was a great server- she had the best recommendations. Our cocktails were amazing and unique and the Burrata and deviled eggs were two of the best things we ate in the city! That pesto on the burrata was phenomenal. 😋 Definitely recommend!“

“I love the food and its always satisfying unfortunately after driving 45 minutes for my favorite sandwich. Arron the bar tender seemed annoyed by my business maybe some staff needs a little realignment. Not my typical experience I look forward to next time.“

“Streamline Tavern Forevahhh“

“This a fun spot with cheeky humor and entertainment. The food is delicious and the drinks well made. Very friendly staff and entertainers.“

“TS SO TUFF IN OHIO“

“I’ve been coming here since 2019 and have genuinely never had a bad experience. It’s easily one of my favorite spots in Seattle and definitely a go-to in Belltown! The food, drinks, service, music, and overall vibe are always consistently good. Their nachos are one of my favorites, and my husband and I will often stop in just to grab some drinks and share an order. After all these years, it’s still one of those places I know I can count on for good food, good drinks, and a great atmosphere!“

“I happened to stumble upon this place exploring Seattle. I had my first Seattle dog, and a few of their IPAs. The food and drinks were great. All of the staff were incredibly pleasant and kind, with a shoutout to Clea. I will absolutely be stopping here again when I make it back out to Seattle.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Excellent craft cocktails in a beautifully remodeled space in the heart of Georgetown. Food is from attached restaurant Kuma and is dee-lish-ousss! Staff is super friendly and highly professional.“

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

“awesome food and awesome service“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Great service, Great atmosphere and most of all....a great bartender! 🍻👍...love you Miss Nana!“

“Cool vibe, friendly servers & tasty food!“

“We visited Radiator Whiskey for happy hour! The catfish nuggets were a bit fishy though that might just be how catfish tastes since it was our first time trying it. The sauce was great, though! And the bacon cheeseburger was honestly the best 🍔 I’ve ever had! Overall the food and service were excellent!“

“Went there once and truly loved everything about it.“

“Good chicken fried rice and pad Thai chicken“

“Great atmosphere and amazing staff. Bartender Justin is extremely accommodating and friendly. Liberty is an amazing new home bar. Will be frequenting regularly.“

“Walked by the night before and didn't have time to pop in after work, but took note of the cool looking new spot in GTown. Checked out the menu and my mind (and belly) wouldn't allow me to go another day without experiencing the enoki fritters, so a late lunch ensued with fritters and street corn today. Ridiculously tasty, will be back with friends and family to try the rest of the menu and I'm sure you'll be serving my coworkers (repeatedly) as well. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Home of the Bills Backers of Seattle. All Buffalo Bills games televised and watched with the Mafia. Everybody is welcome! Whether you live in PNW or just passing through town, come catch a game and support this awsome establishment. Beautiful Lake Union is right across the street.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“One of the best restaurants in Seattle. Give it a try or you are missing out“

“I love Noi Thai Cuisine with all of my heart. The environment is very cozy and relaxing. I enjoy the candle lit dark ambiance, and the decor is great! I usually eat alone there but it feels like visiting family. Today I tried the chicken satay and it was simply incredible. My favorite part about this restaurant is the Tom Kha soup. I think about their soup when I am thousands of miles away. I think about it too much. It’s even been in my dreams. Every time I land at the Seattle airport, I am hurrying as fast as I can to the light rail so I can get to Noi Thai Cuisine for my favorite soup. Idk what they do to it…but no other Tom Kha soup will ever compare. If I could eat one thing for the rest of my life, it would be Noi Thai Cuisines Tom Kha soup. I want to start trying more of their menu, but I am addicted to their Tom Kha soup. The staff is always so friendly, attentive, and kind. I will continue to dine here as much as possible…forever. Thank you for filling me with so much joy!!!! I definitely reccommend Noi Thai Cuisine to everyone, they won’t let you down. I can’t give them five stars…..because they deserve five million stars. ;)“

“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. ❤️❤️🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠“

“I’ve been frequenting The Doctor’s Office now for the past few months so I am biased, but this place is one of my favorite bars here in Seattle.

The bartenders are all kind, funny, and know their shit when it comes to liquors. Yes, the cocktails on the menu are pre-batched, but you can order anything drink you can think of or ask for cool variations on a drink you’d like and it’ll be made fresh on the spot. Also if you’re into more niche or uncommon world liquors, this is the place to go.

The ambiance is perfect for either a solo drink or a drink with a small group. The bar-top seats 6 at the top and has seats for a group of 2 and up to a group of 4-5, so very small and cozy.

Definitely check out this place for a good drink and good time! Also shout out Peter and Sam for being great bartenders and great people 😊“

“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!“

“We celebrated our anniversary at 2120 and it was one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in Seattle. The cocktails alone are worth the visit. The Old Fashioned was phenomenal, but the true standout was the Tequila Pho cocktail. I’ve never had anything like it—it genuinely tasted like you were drinking a bowl of fresh pho in the best possible way. It may honestly be our new favorite cocktail ever. The food was outstanding from start to finish. The oysters were, without question, the best we’ve ever had, and we’ve tried oysters all over the country. The smoked salmon crudo was incredibly fresh and beautifully prepared. My oxtail pappardelle was rich, flavorful, and perfectly executed, while my wife absolutely loved the Thai coconut curry with scallops. To finish the evening, 2120 surprised us with an amazing anniversary dessert featuring warm donuts, fresh chocolate cream, and caramel sauce, along with a celebratory glass of champagne. It was a thoughtful touch that made an already memorable evening even more special. A huge thank you to our server, James, who made the entire experience exceptional with his outstanding service, attention to detail, and warm personality. Thank you to the entire team at 2120 for helping us celebrate our anniversary in such a memorable way. If you’re looking for an exceptional dining experience in Seattle, whether for a special occasion or simply a fantastic meal, I highly recommend 2120. We will absolutely be back.“

“Great place, flatbread and mini tacos are nice. I came here for an event so I didn't have to pay and don't know how prices are. Best part is the darts and games. We really enjoyed it. And the cameras for dart game are more accurate than most other places. The quality of darts is decent but not perfect. It was interesting to see the global leaderboard where you see the number of darts thrown in all their location.“

“This might be my favorite bar in the whole world. Their drinks are so innovative in presentation especially. The drinks are expensive but they are good quality and you’re paying for the whole experience. Like the towels in the bathroom. And the old apothecary soap dispensers. And the old radio show playing in the bathroom. It’s a vibe and it’s worth it.“

“Highly recommend! The buffalo chicken salad was the best salad I’ve had in a long time.“

“Hidden speakeasy above Biang Biang Noodles, what a fun spot! In addition to the decor fitting the vibe (read: paper fans everywhere), the drinks are actually tasty and not just a gimmick. All the drinks have some sort of tea infused with a nice balance of flavors.

Faves: Dragon’s Breath, 601 Breeze, Happy Monk, popcorn chicken

Would recommend stopping in for a drink and snack!“

“The person they had putting orders together for pickup recognized me as I tied up my dramatic dog outside and had it ready before my little thespian had time to earn himself his Emmy, but he almost certainly would have if they weren't so speedy!

Anyway, I would love to see the Thai Bird sandwich to become a permanent addition. Whenever a chicken sandwich joint has this as a flavor on offer, it is the one I always try first and eat the most.“

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

“Food is awesome, meat quality is great. The burritos were better than expected. Atmosphere is fabulous, and feels like you are part of the party every time. Good for groups, might be loud for some but I enjoyed it. Maybe not a first date if you want to talk a lot.“

“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!“

“Had a great time at this bar, the interior was really awesome, a spooky, eerie vibe! Loved it and definitely recommend stopping in for a drink!“

“Cool spot, Old speak easy feel“
