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!

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.

Holy crap! They added a pianist this night! Good drinks, tasty snack...and piano Jazz...
Used to go here years and years ago, and it was lovely. Our oldest kid was little and was so delighted by the truffle popcorn and the tomato cappuccino soup with grilled cheese. Years later, our daughter is now 23 and we called Oliver’s to buy her a gift for her birthday. Chai was so sweet and helpful! Our daughter ultimately decided to go elsewhere bc of the change in the menu (much less veg options). Despite this, we were so impressed with Chai and how kind and accommodating he was! To the owners: give Chai a raise and bring back the tomato cappuccino soup!

A lovely, cozy neighborhood bar with good food, great snacks and amazing cocktails. Their drink menu is dedicated to the classics, long forgotten cocktails and a handful of original recipes inspired by the classics. Our service was friendly and our bartender was very knowledgeable. Ask about your drink! They know the whole history.
Parking: Parking is free on street parking but it's close to a bus stop as well.
