Great Tiki lounge. The food is very good especially the Pupu Platter. Tiki drinks are very tasty and the specialty Bloody Mary is amazing though not for the timid. Easy to hangout and imagine you're somewhere tropical and not in dreary Seattle.

A cool tiki bar attached to the West Seattle Bowling alley. Delicious food and cocktails. Great service and a fun assortment of bar games going on. Highly recommended!

Best tiki bar in Seattle! And they have my favorite drink in the whole city too: The Traveling Plum. Decorations are top notch and all the drinks are served in different, cute cups. Plus all the food is great!

Once upon a time, there was Tiki bar locator and review site called Critiki. Alas, it's now defunct, but Three 9 Lounge would have been well-reviewed there, I'm dead certain. Jimmy's put together a very nice Tiki bar! If Critiki still existed, then these would be my ratings under the standard Critiki metrics. (For context, I'm measuring Three 9 Lounge against the four dozen Tiki bars I've rated in my life.)
*Decor, 8/10 - This joint is 4 years old and will continue to add to its decor. Decor is expensive and takes time to build in a Tiki bar. Three 9 Lounge is off to an amazing start.
*Drink Quality, 8/10 - Their Mai Tai is notable and well done. Gretl & I had zero regrets about celebrating International Mai Tai Day 2025 on 30.August, here. Order the Mai Tai. It's as tasty as Trader Vic intended.
*Drink Selection, 8/10 - They offer signature cocktails and they know how to create a well-balanced Tiki cocktail. There's real skill here, man. Real. Skill.
*Food Quality, 8/10 - We ordered two rounds of snacks. The kitchen is worth leaving off an extra drink, which is the real test between good bar service and its kitchen.
*Food Selection, 8/10 - Classic Tiki fare and few surprises. What surprises? Ah! Go get surprised!
*Mood, 10/10 - Mood is the hardest thing, but Three 9 Lounge is attached to a 78-year-old bowling alley. They're bowling Turkeys, here. It felt like The Big Lebowski might stroll up, then order a White Russian off-menu. The location is perfect. Like, it hit me the same way the waterfall in Smuggler's Cove hit me. I've never been in a Tiki Bar attached to a bowling alley. This novel locale is unique as far as I know?
*Music, 9/10 - Hawaiian Gospel music sounded divine and wonderful odd. (Only a live band earns a perfect score for this metric.)
*Service, 10/10 - Flawless. They're true pros.
*Tikiness, 9/10 - Thoughtful composition of a Tiki Bar is hard. What Three 9 Lounge has put together is no accident.
*Tilt, 9/10 - This weird mystical metric strives to quantify the transcendent, the ineffable, the noesis, the numen, the x-factor, the slack, the touch from His noodly appendage. Jawohl. You're goin' on a journey at Three 9 Lounge.
*Vibe, 10/10 - Yeah, the Tiki vibe thrives here. It felt inclusive, welcoming, and like an Island of South Pacific Fantasia in West Seattle!
Make this an essential stop for seeking Tiki drinks in the Great PNW, y'all.

Not too far from the others, fairly new (4yrs old) it is a perfect escape. Date night waiting to happen with the tropical escape connected to the bowling alley (sadly can't bring the drinks with you). Delicious in house cocktails, e didn't try the classics, though Hump day is $10 hurricanes. They have a decent rum selection compared to others and my favorite part was the yellow/orange windows so it's not as dark as your typical tiki, but gives the aura of a beach sunset in the distance despite the gloomy weather.

Super cool Tiki bar! You feel like being transported to an island on the Pacific ocean. The cocktail-glasses are cocktail specific, giving each drink a special touch of uniqueness. The staff is so friendly. The finger food is very tasty and nicely arranged. Loved the decoration and the easy going music with Surf vibes.

Great service and ambiance! Our server was really quick to refill my hot water. I didn’t order any drinks but all my friends loved what they got. I thought the tofu karaage was a really small serving and I felt it was overpriced.

They have mingo on Wednesday but cant tell you what the genre of music is before hand. Been to two other locations including red wine in kent and they have the schedule and able to provide this information. No one wants to travel for a event of music they dont listen to. I would had shown up with a big group but big let down and business elsewhere
