50 Best Wine Bars in Seattle

“We love Le Caviste so much and come here all the time. The staff is so kind and knowledgeable, always ready with a great recommendation. They’re so consistent, every visit is just as good as the last, and that’s exactly why we keep coming back. Truly love this place! Cannot recommend enough!“

“What a cute and charming wine bar. That’s what jumped out at me with is place. Great layout and decor and a nice warm, inviting vibe. This place is a self-service wine bar with selections of wine basically on tap. You pay by the ounce with 1, 3, or 5-ounce sizes. We didn’t get anything to eat, but they have food including charcuterie boards, and truffle chocolates. While the place is nice and the service great, the wines are not very good. We sampled 6 and only liked one. For the price you pay which is on the higher side, I’d hope they get some quality wines. I know you have to show profit with margins, but please upgrade your wines. Overall I recommend this place as it’s lovely, but don’t get your hopes up on the wines.“

“Everything I’ve had here is so good! Feature items are always thoughtful and delicious. A regular menu go to is the twice baked potato, which is always so good. This weekend she featured a crab roll, which is one of the best I’ve ever had service is friendly and personal, and the environment is very cozy and welcoming.“

“My partner and I came in for our first ever Magic: The Gathering pre release event (beginner’s night) and had a really fun time! The owner Elijah has curated a super chill vibe and atmosphere, and one that is very welcoming and inclusive. I will definitely be coming back for future events!

Also a great selection of beer and wine!“

“Hands down, the best Italian food I’ve ever had. The lasagna was absolutely amazing. The spaghetti even better, and everything tasted fresh, homemade, and full of flavor.
We really enjoyed the whole meal and left completely impressed. If you’re looking for great Italian food in Seattle, Neb is definitely worth checking out. We will absolutely be back for sure! Staff was great too but man the food holy smokes.“

“We look forward to a return to normal so we can enjoy this place more!“

“Little pricey but LOVE!!!!

We came here on a rainy night and we sat outside under the cover, listening to music, curled up in a blanket with a glass of wine and had the most beautiful evening.

This was. Everything.

Rainy night. Neighborhood walkers with dogs. It was just. Right.“

“Mr. B’s is a great little hidden gem in the Fremont neighborhood of Seattle. Fantastic meads with a large variety and just the coolest vibe and atmosphere you could imagine. Highly recommend it!“

“Terrific wine bar. Didn’t try the food though the wine was delicious and so I have no doubt the food would be too - came back here 2 nights in a row because I wanted to try some other wines in the menu. The owners also stayed and kindly chatted with me while I finished my wine after closing which was greatly appreciated. Will definitely return on my next visit!“

“The best macaroons I have ever tasted #bestofseattle“

“Tried this very special “takeout only omakase sushi box”, Edomae style ( use cured/aged fish, and red vinegar seasoning in rice). The executive chef, chef Ryo, has worked in many renowned restaurant including Michelin star sushi restaurant “Sushi Sho”. Before joining this new restaurant “Ltd Edition Sushi” in capitol hill, he worked side by side with chef Nakazawa-an icon of edomae style in Japan, at both Sushi Sho Tokyo and Sushi Sho Honolulu. The sushi omakase box and kids fish bowl are both very sophisticated, the curing and aging techniques brings out the deep complex flavor of each fish and gives each fish this extra tender texture, the taste profile as such is hard to find here in Seattle. Chef sake flight ( we tried Haneya Junmai Ginjo and Hidakami Junmai today), one is floral and one on the dry side, pair with his sushi very well. Sushi is in a very elegant wooden box and everything you will need for the experience including a separate soy sauce dipping dish is prepared for the guest. This is, truly, a perfect omakase takeout experience. 💕💕😋“

“What a gem this place is. Such a cozy spot, with super friendly and helpful staff, and I was pleasantly surprised to see a pretty extensive food menu as well (the cheese plate was to die for). It's awesome to be able to learn about and support the wineries they showcase. Places like this are why I feel so grateful to live in Seattle.“

“What a terrific experience! The laid back vibe, the excellent wine, delicious tapas and friendly staff more than willing to make personalized recommendations just made our evening. Highly recommend the shrimp ceviche, ahi lettuce tacos, oysters with hot sauce and the olives. What a great find. If I lived in Seattle, I would be a regular.“

“Great expresso martini! Try 2!“

“The food is always very good. We come here every time we’re in town to visit our husky at UW. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. A bit pricey.“

“Have visited this location several times over the past 8 years and in each case the experience has been outstanding! The food and drink are delicious. Service is friendly and attentive. Prices are what you’d expect for a steakhouse. Parking can be somewhat challenging as you’re reliant on finding either street parking or a parking garage that’s available but each time I’ve gone has not been problematic for me.“

“Nice people’s and great place for have fun 😎“

“Otherworld is dynamic and always hits the spot. It takes many forms throughout the week, from chill spot to read alone, to a great date night before cooking dinner at home or dining in cap hill, or an end of night stop with DJ spinning vinyl and shoulder to shoulder energy. Oh, and the wine is truly awesome. I highly recommend joining the wine club, it's the best wine club in town. Every wine we've had there has been fun and unique.“

“Nice draft list and great to-go section. Only had 5 mins since the fam was in the car but I was able to order a little taster dipa, get a mix pack of some hazies, westie and a stout. Also, found a wax top stout for 36 that I hope is fire! Beertender was cool and helpful. Gets my nod of approval!“

“We were thrilled with everything about this new restaurant. LOVED the food selections, wine was divine and service impeccable. Highly recommend!“

“Great wine bar pouring Alexandria Nicole Cellars wines from Horses Heaven Hills AVA!“

“Charming wine bar/small plates with a laid back vibe. You must have the pickled egg!! Tarragon, cumin and black lava salt! House mac & cheese with perfectly balanced truffle oil. Started with a rose slushie on a hot summer afternoon. Put it on your regular rotation.“

“Walking into Aluel Cellars on top of Queen Anne feels like stepping into a snug vineyard tasting room transplanted into the city. I settled in and chose their Aluel Signature Flight and their Aluel New Release Flight, each a carefully sequenced lineup of their handcrafted Washington estate wines. The Signature Flight had richer, more developed profiles while the New Release offered bright, excited youth. I paired them with the European tinned fish, sardines and pulpo that arrived in polished little tins, and asked about the oysters. The server said they often have them for pairing events, so depending on timing you might catch fresh oysters too. Compared to other wine bars or tasting rooms in town, Aluel strikes a rare balance: serious about wine craft but laid back in vibe, welcoming instead of pretentious, and offering well curated bites that elevate rather than distract.“

“Whether it's the holidays or not, Aluel cellars is the place to be for delicious wine and a fantastic time. Frosted and Fizzy is their pop-up for the holidays and they feature very delicious champagne options! Add Frosted and Fizzy to your holiday to-do list!“

“My husband and I have had the pleasure of frequenting this business a few times! We were invited to attend a few live performances by two friends of ours. We LOVE wine. This business specializes in artisinal and small-batch wines from the Languedoc-Roussillon region of France. DELICIOUS! Their appetizer menu is EXCEPTIONAL! Their service is IMPECCABLE!

If you are as enamored of fine wine as we are, check this beautiful business out! You will find it worth your time. And much, much more!“

“An absolute gem in Seattle. Ben treated us like family. Extensive wine list of amazing area wines and a fantastic menu of snacks to accompany the wines. Great value and a relaxed atmosphere. A must do!!!!“

“If you only hit one spot in Seattle: go here. The pelmeni will send you to heaven and the owner is warm and welcoming. Turgenev vibes.“

“I was in town for a special event, I haven't been here before and was amazed with every aspect of my experience. our server Charles was utterly fabulous. he was very knowledgeable, thoughtful and prompt. he made it feel like we were old friends. the steaks were perfectly cooked. I am 4 and 1/2 years sober, and to go out and enjoy an exquisite meal and only drink water can be a drag, but you all had an amazing selection of mocktails, my partners and I enjoyed immensely. I took the time to thank Charles for everything and got to meet Justin, letting him know how wonderful everything was. this will definitely be a regular stop anytime I visit.“

“Amazing staff and Tommy Patrick is a wonderful host.“

“BFV is a fun place. The wine is good, and the waiters know what they are doing. What’s not to like? 😀“

“I've been putting off trying out Off Alley for a while. I could never get a reservation, it was far from my home, etc etc. However, their website said they encouraged walk ins so I spontaneously went one day. I kinda regret postponing it all this time. The menu changes at least once a week (check their insta). It's all written on a chalkboard and it reminded me of the daily specials at the French bistros in Paris. The chef is very down to earth and very passionate about sourcing the food locally. We learned about the cucumber varietals he used from the farmer's market that week and the farms that he sourced the beef tongue and squab from. The sauces are clearly slowly reduced, very concentrated and flavorful. If you want a farm to table, nose to tail seasonal restaurant without the posh uptight environment, this is it! The other benefit is that gratuity is incorporated into menu prices (thank you chef for doing this). I'll admit dish sizes for the respective prices can be a shock at first but it includes gratuity and you're supporting local farmers. It's meant to be tapas style so share multiple dishes. No regrets, we'll be back.“

“Excellent coffee, one of the best i’ve had in Portland which sets a pretty high bar.“

“First time today! Had a great time and will definitely be back! Great service. Great selection. And a big pile of dog fun on the couch!“

“amazing views, even more amazing food! stayed warm and toasty with ceiling heaters, and torches. did I say the food was amazing? it was!!!👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️“

“High quality drinks in a super cute, open, aesthetic space that's perfect for working remotely or studying! The matcha has good flavor and the coffee is robust. The portions for the snacks are kind of small, but they'll keep you fueled for your work sesh! 10/10 would recommend! I've been here a few times and it's becoming one of my favorite spots to work or chat with friends“

“So much fun and so knowledgeable! You can get a Champagne flight, a sparking wine flight, and or a wine flight. The champagne and wine was delicious, and I really appreciated the knowledge they shared. The music is also lots of fun and the place is a comfy place to hang out.“

“Delicious! Little drafty and close quarters. Loud party in the in closed porch and the bartender was uber busy. With that being said, he was excited about the food, friendly, and delightful to deal with. Once the food came, I was blown away by the flavor. Fried brussel sprouts were so good my coworkers and I were laughingly fighting over who got to finish them. Everyone loved their meals. I had the Lamb Ragu (no cheese and it didn't suffer for the lack of it) and it was so good I'm afraid I'm going to be chasing to find a red sauce that good again. Can't say much about the drinks since I only had a perfectly traditional hot toddy but I would definitely try more. Absolutely recommend this and apparently it's side by restaurant 909. I might recommend calling ahead for a reservation there. Even on a Tuesday night this place had a well deserved full house.“

“Chef and staff went more than above and beyond with the entire experience. We went there after proposing and the entire course was delicious. Beautifully presented, and they even made us a cake as a congratulatory gift.

The entire staff made us feel very special“

“Great food and great service. Our little is already asking to go back. She loved her ceaser salad and Chocolate cookie and said she really liked our waiter, he was funny.“

“Current Coffee Shop, contently located in downtown Long Beach, serves up some delicious coffee and all of their food offerings are fabulous!!! ❤️“

“One of the most unique wine bars in Seattle. If you want something different this is the place to go. Phenomenal selection of Italian wines that you could probably only find here.Incredibly knowledgeable staff was incredibly friendly and stepped through every wine they served.Definitely take your wine loving friends here.“

“Live the Cinsault this time and Sue is the best!!“

“The Oklahoma smash burger here was really good. The double was satisfying and there was a nice balance between lacy crispy edges and the juicy patty, although we did find it to be a tad salty. The tater tots were super crispy (very satisfying!) and much better than the fries, which were a little limp, although still well seasoned. Definitely worth a stop, I'll be back!“

“We loved the frozen drinks! The vibe was chill, the staff were welcoming and friendly, and the food was tasty. We will be back!“

“The best Italian food in Seattle. The focaccia is probably the best bread I’ve ever had. The heirloom tomato and nectarine marinara is a revelation. I can’t wait to go back.“

“Delicious cocktails and eats, friendly neighborhood place. cozy, when you can go inside!“

“This place is a gem! My friend and I stopped here to grab a bottle of wine, and ended up getting some cider and snacks. They have a great selection of natural wines from all over and reasonably priced. They also have a great selection of local ciders. The staff person working there was very friendly and helpful -- happy to provide suggestions and share knowledge. The food was also quite good. Highly recommend the gluten-free brownie!“

“Surrell was an unforgettable dining experience. We enjoyed the 11-course tasting menu, and every course was beautifully presented, incredibly creative, and absolutely delicious. The attention to detail and artistry in each dish made the entire meal feel special.

I was the only vegetarian in our group, and I was so impressed with how thoughtfully they accommodated me. My vegetarian courses never felt like substitutions. They were creative, flavorful, and just as exciting as everyone else’s dishes.

The service was warm, polished, and attentive from start to finish. If you’re looking for a truly memorable fine dining experience in Seattle, Surrell is absolutely worth it.

A must if in Seattle“

“Fantastic experience. Anyone who can take a humble dish like fries and elevate it has my respect, AND tell people y’all ain’t getting ketchup is my kinda guy. Fresh catch of sockeye salmon was perfection. 💯 recommend“

“Took the parents for their first meal in Seattle and they wanted Mediterranean. Found this place not far from the Fauntleroy ferry dock. We ate outside, the servers were very nice and the food was delicious. Definitely will be going again. Not a pet friendly place for those with doggos.“
