I love this bar, but I’ve recently tried coming twice during posted hours and it’s closed.

Unfortunately, my experience at Oliver Twist was incredibly disappointing especially considering it was supposed to be a birthday celebration. The bartender made it an extremely unpleasant experience.
What should have been a fun and memorable night quickly turned into an uncomfortable and frustrating experience. I rarely leave negative reviews, but this one felt necessary. There are plenty of great bars in Seattle — sadly, this isn’t one I’ll be returning to or recommending.

White guy with the mustache who was serving and making drinks on Thursday night was sooooo rude. The attitude coming from him when we were simply ordering was so hostile and uncalled for, and made us feel atrocious. The pace of service was also horrible. We waited over 30 mins for him to come back to us. The drinks were very mid. Would not come back here especially if he was serving drinks or behind the bar. Absolutely unprofessional.

I cannot believe it! Oliver Twist used to be one of my favorite bars. I cannot believe they hired this monster of a server. I have never encountered anyone like this. What a rude, despicable guy. It was terrible and I’m never going back there again.

Stumbled into this neighborhood spot for predinner drinks and was so impressed with the drinks and staff.
Benji helped us out and made us feel so welcomed and it was like talking to an old friend without missing a beat. My favorite drink for the night was the il duce, a nutmeg margarita that marries mezcal and tequila with nutmeg. Their daiquiri and negroni are also a great way to start your evening.
This is a quintessential summer spot for Seattle. It's great to people watch and we cannot wait to come back.

We’ve tried going here a few times, and each time we’ve been disappointed. More than once it was closed unexpectedly, and when the stars finally aligned, I was very underwhelmed by the food.
The cocktails are generally good, although a few of them seem unbalanced. But even a good drink program is overshadowed by disappointing service and food.
Most recently, half the menu items were unavailable. The only things left were spring rolls and 3 combinations of meat/veg in a noodle bowl (which also comes with spring rolls). So basically iterations of a single item were available. And it just wasn’t that great. No real sauce. Just naked vermicelli noodles with a smattering of fresh vegetables.
In the 3 times I’ve been, the wait staff generally made me feel like I was inconveniencing them at every step. I did not feel welcome.

This place has great atmosphere, great food, great drinks, and friendly service. I'd recommend it for a friends' get-together or date night, among many other possible occasions.

Very nice cocktail bar, dope spot in the summer to people watch, and they have live music on certain nights. Chill spot

Wow! I had been meaning to visit Oliver’s Twist for a while, and now I’m kicking myself for not visiting sooner! The drinks were impeccable, the service was fantastic, and the truffle popcorn was delicious (I was sad when it was gone). I can’t wait to come back!
My favorite cocktail bar in Seattle. Bartenders that know how to mix and who listen to customer's tastes.

The ambiance was really great here. They definitely hired a professional to do the interior design and this would be a great place for a date. There was Life jazz, too, and our drinks were phenomenal.
