Little Tin Goods & Apothecary Cabinet

This review is long overdue… Little Tin always makes me happy. Their drinks are so creative and inspired - they have a lot of tea-based concoctions and I’ve never had a cocktail I didn’t like here. Their mocktails are just as delicious and the food is so easy to snack on while you’re on your second drink. The decor inside and out on their back patio are so cute and I feel like I get teleported out of Ballard and onto a mini vacation. The price point is high admittedly, but they include tip in their pricing which is fantastic and I don’t feel a dollar wasted - so I just make sure to come here for celebratory occasions like birthdays and new jobs.
Looking forward to the next visit! 💚

Come here if you miss dining at the airport! Check in via an electronic tab and wait for the hostess to come by and ask the same questionnaire you just responded to. Give you your personal information and allow them to send you marketing spam just to read the menu! What a gem. I'm not sure why they employ wait staff at all - I'm guessing robotic servers can't carry alcohol without spilling yet. And at the end, don't forget to pay your required 18% gratity + order fee - I assume nothing goes to the actual staff and it just lines the managers pocket instead.

Zero stars, do not go here. I only gave it two stars because the wait staff seem like lovely people .

One of my favorite bars ever! I love it here! The drinks are fun and delicious! And the staff is super awesome and friendly! I miss going here all the time when I lived in Ballard.

Although Little Tin offers only two vegetarian options, both were quite good. The service, however, felt minimal. You are seated at your table and your food is brought to you, but the rest is self-service: you browse the menu online, place your order, and pay through the app. The staff doesn't even have to talk to you - someone thinks that this is service! While the service is pared down to the essentials, an 18% gratuity is automatically added, though the app doesn't mention this fixed tip upfront. While we enjoyed the food and drinks, this will likely be our last visit.

Really creative food and drinks. The vibe inside is so good, and the staff were very patient with us after we asked to make a last minute order change

Very intimate and aesthetically pleasing! We got the tempura shrimp, dumplings, and bao cheeseburgers - all were really nice! Just be warned that there is a required 20% service charge and you do order and check out online via QR code even when dining in.

Good food, good drinks, good service :)

Atmosphere and service were exceptional! The drinks were very aesthetic but did not have cohesive flavors. The food could be so much better! We questioned if the appetizers were frozen from Costco because they lacked fresh flavor. At this price point, we were disappointed for sure. Great concept but needs polishing.

The manager was condescending and rude. The drinks were low quality and took forever. The 20% auto gratuity was ridiculous for the quality of service. Plus a tip we didn’t leave of course on top.. Will never go and waste our time there again.

Drinks were ok, but extremely overpriced. Came in with a large group and was told that we needed to split our group in half. Staff was very condescending and rude.

Atmosphere and drinks were great. Wish there was a longer beer list. Great after dinner spot or meet up location. Service was great. You order and pay off the QR code which was different and can be convenient in ways. Food was better shared as it isn’t a place for dinner really. Had some plates to get me by! Would try again :) thanks!

Hawaiian themes but they don’t make a Mai Tai??? Wanted to like this place so came three times but never liked a drink. They are extremely heavy and unbalanced. The vibes are cool though.

Beware of double tipping. This place has a mandatory 20% tip, and then the checkout screen defaults to ANOTHER 5% or 10% of additional tip. You'll be tipping 30% if you're not paying attention. This is unethical and it's time we start calling out this kind of dishonorable behavior.

Absolutely the best cocktails - hands down - in Seattle. So much attention and detail is put into each drink. This is the place you start your night when you have all your senses intact and can appreciate the craft and love behind the scenes. Much appreciation!
