50 Best Cocktail Bars near Seatac

“Great hotel bar with friendly staff. There’s a few good local beers on draft and plenty of bar games like pool, shuffleboard and board games too. Didn’t try the food so can’t comment on that but definitely a decent place to hang out if staying here night before a flight from Seattle.“

“Love it! Will be back for sure ❤️“

“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.“

“Cool vibe, friendly servers & tasty food!“

“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.

“We enjoy Harry’s for special occasions, tonight we came for a couple of items in mind and we should have came earlier as they had sold out of the entree. Our server Jesse was more than apologetic and rescued the evening with authentic hospitality. Excited to return for our next evening out at Harry’s Beach House.“

“My absolutely favorite bar in West Seattle. Amazing atmosphere but please hire nicer people as bartenders, people who actually have customer service skills. Often get one bartender who is very rude and unpersonable, seems to hate her job. 💔“

“love sitting on the patio on a warm day and enjoying a cold delicious cocktail. The wings are tasty, the sunday cheesesteak is dynamite. they serve a terrific smoked old fashioned and many drinks on the cocktail list are spectacular. throw in friendly service and a welcoming atmosphere and you’re all set! love this place.“

“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. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Excellent food and service“

“AMAZING Spot to come grab drinks“

“Fun spot for a date or just grabbing a drink. The staff had great energy when we visited that made us feel welcomed. Superb food choices, definitely not you typical bar menu. We had a great time and will be back again when we are in the area.“

“very tasty selection, can't go wrong with whatever you choose“

“The best Italian food in Seattle. The focaccia is probably the best bread I’ve ever had. The heirloom tomato and nectarine marinara is a revelation. I can’t wait to go back.“

“Loved the service and ambience, fun place to catch up on major WWE events! It was a random find to catch up with a vibrant crowd and enthusiasm accompanied by cocktails, on tap drinks and nachos! 🍻 They have a minimal Food menu: nachos with cheese and jalapenos, Hot dogs (2 options). But you can get your own food from other restaurants inside Lariat.
Booth seating, high stool bar seats or just lounge on the old charm seats.
Requesting Lariat to add fries to their menu!“

“Cool spot, Old speak easy feel“

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

“I wanted to really love Marina Mercantile. Made a Mother's Day Tea reservation. Our initial arrival was not welcoming and I was asked twice if I had a reservation. My mom, my daughter, and I waited an hour for our tray of treats. We were last to be served. People that arrived after us were served before us. We are the only minorities in the shop. It felt racist sadly or their service was extremely slow. The food was ok not the freshest tasting for a special Mother's Day event. Prepaid $200 with fixed gratitude and service charge. 🫤“

“Hidden Gem on Beacon Hill ✨
When I arrived at Family Friend, I honestly wasn’t sure if we were in the right spot. This hidden treasure only reveals itself by a small neon sign — unassuming, but absolutely worth the find. Once inside, I felt an immediate sense of warmth and comfort.

There was no hostess at first, but we were seated quickly by Sharon, whose smile and energy could light up any room. Her service alone deserves a standing ovation — patient, kind, and passionate about every dish she described.

🍲 Start with the Corn Soup (Rosary Style) — sweet corn, tender chicken thighs, coconut milk, onion, and garlic. It’s silky, vibrant, and layered with comfort and spice.

🥬 The Gollai Hågun Sope — mustard greens & kale in coconut milk and turmeric over corn. A vegan dream — not a large portion, but rich in flavor and nourishment.

🥟 Riyenu Empanadas — beautiful in presentation, though a bit too fried for my taste. The creamy green fina’dene sauce, however, was divine and worth the order alone.

🍹 Signature Old Fashioned — honey-forward and sweeter than expected; if you’re a traditionalist, you might prefer a classic version.

The outdoor patio was my favorite surprise — warm heaters, cozy art-covered walls, and an intimate setup perfect for date nights or quiet reflection. Accessibility was great, and while I wouldn’t call it “kid-focused,” it’s perfect for adults seeking calm conversation and quality food.

✨ Final thoughts: Modern, soulful, and filled with heart. A neighborhood must-try that feels like home away from home. I’ll be back to try the fried chicken and smash burger everyone’s raving about.

“Excellent service from Elizabeth! She was so friendly and attentive! I ordered brisket with mac & cheese and potato salad and my friend ordered the bacon & blues burger with a brisket add on and talk about mouth watering! We also ordered the fried pickle jar and highly recommend that appetizer! We saved our leftovers for the next day and it went just as hard! Amazing hospitality from this establishment and the vibe was so country it felt like we were back home in Texas! Don’t skip out on the banana pudding and a big thank you to management and the cooks who help keep the place running smooth!“

“Delicious and reasonably priced! Best of ago, the kids loved it too! The curly fries were some of the best I've had in a while, my only regret is not seeing their limited time special before I ordered because it sounded super delicious.“

“They have THREE egg substitutes, which is amazing! There's Just egg, tofu scramble, and a 'fried egg' product that has a runny 'yolk' if you're into that. Amazing to find options! We had the vegan tenders and waffle, and biscuits and gravy, with a side of tofu bacon, tofu scramble, and a Cloud9 cocktail. Everything was great! I think the biscuits was the star of the show, the gravy was Awesome, and the dish was So satisfying. The kale that came with it was a really nice contrast to the rest of the dish because it was almost like it was air fried; more crisp than I was expecting. Really nice. The waffle and tenders was really good, but the tenders weren't anything super amazing. They nail the buttery diner style waffle, and the syrup is really high quality. Tofu scramble is great! The tofu bacon is a great texture and flavor, but under salted, but I feel like that's a really minor complaint. Cloud9 cocktail was REALLY good, but a bit sweet for me personally. If you like bubble tea, this is for you. The staff are wonderful people, our waitress was also vegetarian and super grossed out by eggs, and it's a very Twin Peaks vibe place. We will be back, and encourage everyone to check them out!“

“I love the cocktails, the people, and the atmosphere ❤️“

“Historical saloon with tasty food and drinks. Also, great atmosphere for amazing live music. Highly recommended!“

“Everything was delicious! We will definitely be recommending Circa to all of our friends.“

“@manao chicken burgers 🍔 and drinks“

“Such good stew!!!! I'm so happy with my dinner.“

“Stopped here on a spontaneous solo date on the way home from grocery store. sidewalk made for very engaging people watching on a summer’s eve. The service started slow, but improved; fantastic dining!“

“Happy hour selection and prices are good. Going back for a boil!“

“First visit to Jude's. I love it when you meet long-time staff who know the history of a place - Jada was our bartender - hope I spelled it correctly! She knew her cocktails too! If you read up on the background of this place, wanting to be your neighborhood joint, great food and drinks and ambience, then I think they are there. We had the mushroom etouffee with Cajun prawns, fried chicken sandwich, apple salad, and the beignets! I'm sure it is a personal preference, but I thought the beignets were better than at Toulouse Petit. Can't wait to try brunch!!“

“A fantastic place to eat amazing food. The owner was so personable and friendly. This is definitely a place that we will come back to.“

“It’s our first time today. We got lucky coz every time we’ll go there the wait is always long. We had a good experience, the receptionist is very nice and very helpful too bad we forgot to ask her name. Our server is very good and welcoming too. And the food didn’t disappoint us. So happy coz this restaurant is just a walking distance from our place. We will definitely go back and recommend this place to our friends.“

“I’ve lived on Alki since 1989. I’ve seen many restaurants come and go from this location. Lotus on the Beach is the best of them all. The ability to pick from a variety of Vietnamese and Thai dishes is its strength. The owner and staff welcome any and all critiques of the food and service.“

“One of my favorite spots in Kent. the staff is awesome. Their food is delicious and the environment is really chill and kick back. I totally recommend everyone to check them out. You won't be disappointed. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I’ve never been super into vegetarian or vegan food options but this restaurant makes me rethink my approach. They have a creative menu and high quality food. Everything I try ends up being my new favorite.“

“Live Jazz in a secret location.“

“WONDERFUL housemade pasta, whole Branzino. Delicious Barbera. Great desserts, great service, amazing olive oil, which sounds funny, but it was really, really good. I would highly recommend La Medusa.“

“Neighborhood pizza spot, with familiar and friendly faces :-)“

“I love coming to this place! Great atmosphere and the food consistently hits the spot. Always clean with welcoming vibes.“

“Super fun vibe! Karaoke is amaze!“

“We came in there on Tuesday night I ordered the crab and prawn Tower salad and I have to tell you was absolutely delicious and I was amazed at how big it actually was I would order this over and over thank you very much enjoyed my meal“

“My husband and I used to live just down the street, and even though we’re not as close anymore, we always make a point to come back. We love bringing our dogs and hanging out on the back patio. The staff are so kind and always bring treats for the pups. It’s a great spot to watch games and there’s always a solid selection of food and drinks!

“love this place! Great food and drinks!“

“A totally secret little gem in Georgetown. I don’t want to say anything about it publicly because I’d hate to see it get too busy but I have to say something about it because it deserves to thrive. it is the go to place to pick up a great meal whether it be a cheeseburger or the perfect wedge salad. Curds or the loaded potatoes! the bartender on Thursdays is one of the cities best, funny and helpful. The crowd is local celebrities. If you haven’t been here, make a point to.“

“This upbeat dive bar is my go-to hangout spot and has been for years now! They have two pool tables, two styles of soft-tip darts, and enough boards for everyone.
On top of that, they have Golden Tee, pull tabs, and a great back patio with a flatscreen and fire pit table in a covered back patio-perfect for chilling with friends! The best part? The staff is absolutely amazing. I came in as a stranger and left feeling like family the very first time I visited. The amount of regulars speaks for itself. Plus, they slice their own deli meats, so you'll definitely want to come hungry! If you're looking for a fun place to unwind, why not give Siren a try? You just might fall in love with a bar 😘“

“Service was quick, friendly and professional. Waited at the bar while the food I ordered to take back to my room was prepared. The bartender was great! Chatted with me while I waited. Food was delicious! Highly recommend the caesar salad and mushroom fettuccine.“

“Visited with some friends, ordered garlic burger medium with a little pink however it didn’t have any pink. Still was a good burger. Friends ordered fish and chips and they were a little bit overdone but they said it was still good.“

“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.“

“I first heard about Kanishka's Des Moines location through a friend who saw somebody raving about it in a Seattle foodies group here on FB. My friend and I went to check it out and, well, it's my new favorite restaurant. I've been here 3 times and Door Dashed it once in the past month. The food every time has been absolutely fantastic, and the portion size are quite generous. The appetizers are almost entree-sized; the first time I went there with a friend, we filled up on appetizers and had to get our entrees to go. Dish recommendations: Chicken 65 and Fish Pakoras for appetizers; Mixed Grill, Lamb Vindaloo, and Paneer Korma entrees. Also, listen to your host as it seems like they're always trying out new dishes that haven't made it onto the menu yet.“

“First time ever trying this place I live so close to it and always drive by but I never bothered to stop by and try it until today mostly because they had a big menu they have a variety of stuff I got a molcajete frio it was really good I thought it was going to be basic but had a pretty good about of stuff on it scallops, cooked shrimp, aguachile shrimp , octopus, cucumber, purple onion I also got a huge michelada that was pretty good too our server was nice for sure will be coming back .“
