The Mountaineering Club

Five stars. Courtney got me a reservation at an exclusive outdoor spot with just two days' notice. She was flexible, took the call late, and made it happen without any hassle. I appreciate the effort.. professional and reliable.

It locates on the top 16th floor in the Graduate by Hilton. Needed to take ID check in on the ground floor prior to entering the elevator; otherwise could not press the button 16. There are three sections and four corners of outdoor seating to have city view. There were long tables for small group meetings. Took the bar top and received ice water quickly. The Clam Chowder had full cup of ingredients and came with a slice of bread.

Great cocktails in a very cool atmosphere with stunning views to downtown Seattle and the Space Needle. Take the tiny elevator to the top floor and grab a seat at the bar. It’s very old and has an antique feel that seems by design. Eclectic and fun. Great spot for a drink before a show or a nightcap after.

Can't beat the rooftop views! Honestly, best in Seattle. Almost 360, so the views are steller no matter where you sit. Sunset and night view is chef's kiss. Good food (simple, tavern/pub fare), but fantastic, inventive cocktails. Highly recommend for a date or night out with friends. You can have your resv table for about 90 mins but can move to the open seating space overlooking lake union/space needle if you want to stay longer! Not to be missed if you're visiting or a local! Spent about $150 for several cocktails and 1 shared app & entree. There on a Thurs eve and they had a dj so outside is a bit quieter - fun vibe though. There is valet but literally one block away from (exit brooklyn/45th U-district) light rail station.

Great views and cocktails! Rooftop bar is nice to sit with friends and get 360 panoramic views, though Rainer view is now blocked by new buildings. Atmosphere is buzzing with nice music. Tried the potato nachos which were a bit soggy, but the cocktails made up for it.

The Mountaineering Club in Seattle is an excellent rooftop bar that truly embraces its atmosphere. It offers a thoughtfully curated selection of drinks and a refreshingly unpretentious food menu that pairs perfectly with the stunning panoramic views. Whether you're taking in the city skyline or gazing at the distant mountains, the setting is unbeatable. The relaxed yet refined ambiance makes it a perfect spot for both casual outings and special occasions. With quality cocktails, satisfying bites, and breathtaking scenery, it’s a place that exceeds expectations while staying true to its essence. A must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy Seattle from above!

We had a great time here - good drinks and music. The service was prompt and courteous.

If someone is coming for the views I’ll recommend to reserve a daytime/evening slot. We came in the night and not much is visible. Food portion is a bit small for the price.

Love the ambiance, energy, and views.

This is a lovely spot to have a drink and some snacks with friends. The atmosphere is really good and it feels like you’re in someone’s living room, but with very good drinks. The views are stunning as well. The staff is attentive and helpful and made this an unforgettable evening. We had the oysters and the smores and it was very fun.

This place used to be be good pre-pandemic. Just went and the food and drinks are expensive and meh ($27 for lukewarm IKEA meatballs???; soggy potato chips do NOT make good nachos). I was surprised to see a DJ since the music was exactly the same for the entire 90 minutes we were there. Nice view but not worth it- too many other wonderful places to waste your time and money. Valet parking was $21!!! All the staff were great but clearly did not want to be there. I don’t blame them.

Ryan was friendly, attentive, and made our experience truly memorable. His great attitude and attention to detail really stood out. The space itself had a great atmosphere, which made the whole visit even better. Highly recommend!
