    Lounge menu and kallpod
    Karlo G.

    Friendly service, comfortable ambience, strong drinks. I stopped by for a couple drinks and was pleasantly impressed with the overall experience. The bartender was prompt and immediately took our drinks. My Grey Goose cosmo was perfectly made and generously poured. I especially liked the coupe glasses and presentation. My second drink, Grey Goose and 7up was equally refreshing and strong. This lounge does have a simple menu and features happy hour between 4:30PM-6:30PM. Seating areas were comfortable and the modern fireplace adds a bit of coziness to the space. Each table has a kallpod which calls the bartender/server to the table. Overall, this is simple yet excellent place to stop for drinks. I'm looking forward to trying out their food on our next visit.

    I came here during their happy hour (4-6:30pm daily). My first drink was the smoked Manhattan ($10) which was really good. They put the drink in a little smoke chamber to provide the smokey flavor which is cool. It was smokey but a bit sweet as well. My second drink was a smoked old fashioned ($16) which is not on their happy hour menu but it was smokey as well and even stronger than the Manhattan. The bar is right next to the front desk of the AC Hotel in an open space. As I was sitting there I kept thinking, "I feel like I'm in a James Bond movie right now." Too bad they don't have any martinis on the menu. They don't have many cocktails on their menu but the bartender can make you any drink that you like as he did with the old fashioned.

    I'm usually not this eager to write a review, but after what I just witnessed, these guys deserve five stars, and then some. It's important to note I was just observing the events as they unfolded. I had booked a stay at AC Hotel Bellevue through Booking.com, since all the hotels in Seattle were either sold out or exorbitant prices. I'm just another guest in the hotel, and had a late evening. At 10:57PM, I'd gone down to the Lounge to try and see if I could get a meal to go. Within 30 seconds, I was acknowledged, asked if I was interested in last call, and asked about ordering a small plate off the menu. The bar tenders/servers were busy managing five different parties, including myself, and doing their utmost to clean up for the night. My order was placed right at 11PM, but they'd managed to get both my drink and my meal out to me in a timely fashion. While waiting, I'd watched the following: Towards the opposite end of the bar, there were two parties with two pairs: two guys, and two girls. One of the guys was about as drunk as one of the girls. The two had been chatting loudly and were cussing each other out, in a way that had the potential to get escalated, if left unchecked. The servers had been managing getting everyone's drinks, and watching over the two clearly intoxicated individuals. In the process, it seems that one of the receipts from a third party - a man, his sister, and another friend - had gotten switched with the tipsy lady. The tipsy lady had signed her name and had her drink charged to the man's card (it was $7.00). Previously, the man had tried to charge his own wine drinks + small plate to his room and handed the server a keycard (?), claiming it was some kind of discount voucher. The server declined the card, since to bill to the room, you just need a last name and the room number. The man was indignant, and had to go to the front desk to obtain whatever he needed to resolve the issue. By the time he came back, enough action had occurred, that one of the servers could have sworn the signed the receipt. Quite frankly, it was an honest mistake. When requested, the manager stepped in and began trying to reverse the charges. The customers were exceedingly rude, and became more agitated since they clearly weren't being handed a free meal. The man and his sister kept repeating, "This is bullshit! Everything should be free!" Even the gentleman accompanying his drunk friend said, "Cut them a break... [the servers are] just kids. You just asked them to fix it and told them they have five minutes to get this straight. They called their manager, and he is already over at the front desk trying to reverse the charges and take care of it... and yet you're already asking him to get back over here?! Let him do his job. They're going to take care of it." Between the two drunk people, the single woman who didn't have a lighter, yet was offered the long candle lighter to go light up her cigarette (since that's all the staff had behind the bar in a non-smoking facility), and the petulant trio that could easily have been my parents' or grandparents' age, I finished my food quickly, downed the rest of my cocktail, and went back up to my room. Honestly, outside of the drama from the couple, I think the staff of AC lounge tonight (or I should say, 9 August 2017) did a fabulous job given the circumstances. They took my extremely last minute drink and food order, made a great cocktail (highly enjoyed the Socialite guys), and the manager had brought my salmon order out (the salmon flaked well, and the lentil stew paired well with the fish... could care less about the kale on the top, but that's the carnivore in me talking). For only being open six days, I'm highly impressed with the servers. Even though they were getting lambasted for what was an extremely easy fix (from what I suspect were customers just trying to get all their drinks and snacks comped), both bar tenders had checked to make sure that either my drink was made right, and that the food was to taste. Hopefully I can try the roasted chicken and the potatoes tomorrow when the rowdy, holier-than-thou, over-privileged children are gone. And to think, Millennials get a bad wrap for attitude... I'm shocked at the entitled behavior that came from that older couple. TL;DR: Give AC Lounge a chance. I see a lot of potential for the bar and lounge. These guys look to be receptive to suggestions, so if there's something wrong, let them know. It's a conversation, not an argument. And staff: Thanks for feeding a starving traveler... the food totally beat getting the car out of the garage and going to any CVS or fast food joint.

    Limited menu but the food quality is nice and there is good amount of drink selection. Good to hangout on a weekday after work to spend an hour or two

    Well, Civility & Unrest definitely gives you a classy, upscale bar vibe as soon as you walk in…read more Unfortunately, the main reason I'm giving them only 2 stars is their extremely uncomfortable seating, especially considering their premium pricing. It just doesn't make sense. I've been here before and have always sat in the front area, which has comfortable cushioned seating. This time, we were seated in the back area, and the chairs there were honestly so uncomfortable. After sitting for about two hours, all of us literally had backaches. When you're charging premium prices for food and drinks, comfortable seating should be a basic part of the experience. As you can see from our bill, we spent around $300, and at that price point, sitting on cheap, uncomfortable chairs really takes away from the high-end bar experience. We actually could have stayed longer and ordered more, but the seating made all of us so uncomfortable that it completely killed the vibe. We also shared this feedback with our server. That being said, I do want to specifically mention that the staff was wonderful and the service was 5/5. Our server, Andrew, was great! He recommended a drink to my friend based on her taste preferences, and she absolutely loved it. Overall, the staff was very nice, attentive, and fun. I really hope Civility & Unrest considers upgrading the seating in the back area to comfortable cushioned chairs or sofas. It would make such a huge difference and would better match the otherwise classy atmosphere and premium pricing.

Owned by actor, celebrity and entrepreneur, Hill Harper, Asa is named after the historic Asa Mercer, from the family of Seattle's original founders from the 1800's. Today, Asa is, almost literally, at the center of everything in Mercer Island. Generous amount of street parking. Quick access to I-90, great beverages, and a wonderful and personable staff. This place is not a bar, but a modern neighborhood lounge. It is complete with fire pit, wood panels, and a unique character in both its outdoor seating, and indoor tabled lounge, that it would be difficult to duplicate in any city. Craft beer? It's there. Diet Coke from a can with lime? They got you. Signature cocktail? They have it. Uniquely designed menu inspired from vinyl records?? Asa has that too. The only thing is food. Asa is not restaurant. But it does have a very tasty handmade charcuterie platter that definitely hits the spot. Bring friends, or come to contemplate your thoughts at the bar with a staff that actually cares about your well being. You're probably already a regular after reading this review, and not even know it!! Which means... you have to stop by. Enjoy the drinks and the atmosphere, at Asa!!!!! See you there!!

I haven't been there for lunch or experienced their morning routines to comment on that. I visit in the evenings when it isn't overly busy - a challenging feat - and sat at both the bar and in the lounge area. The service has been excellent, but patience is a critical skill here as the two times I've been here there is one person attending to everyone. I have not visited during the summer with their patio open, but something tells me the addition of another with the patio keeps the server to customer ratio the same. Not that one should be in a rush at a cocktail bar! This isn't some place you dash into and dash out of. This is where you go to kick back, relax, and sip.

    This fizzy drink station is located in the food court at Lincoln Square. Looks alot like a bar they…read moreplaced in the middle of the food court as they have bar seating that spans the front. The menu shows off many colorful fruit flavored carbonated beverages all of which sound delicious. Sometimes its really good and addicting. Other times ive been, ive gotten a few drinks that were flat and very bland flavor as if they skipped adding some of the listed flavors. I dont fully understand why. The concept is simple, they use soda and add a scoop of fruit pulp, a pump or so of syrup, and a sprinkle of dried fruit bits. I could be wrong, but I feel like i noticed they use large bottle of the carbonated drink to pour many drinks, but they go flat over time. Which means some people will get flat drinks. On my last visit i ordered several drinks. One was bland and flat.I tried to get them to remake my flat drink, but they warned me it would still be flat. I insisted as my other drinks we had taste better having more carbonated spark and sweet juicy flavors. They remade it using the same bottle of soda and it was just as flat and bland the second time so I just tossed the drink and sipped on my families drinks that tasted amazing. Idk if i would recommend this location as it seems to be so hit or miss. Maybe just make sure they use fresh soda and also that they give you all the mentioned flavors. Hey, maybe on my last visit they just ran out of flavor and fresh soda and didnt want to tell me. When they make it right, its absolutely worth a try.

    Club Seltzer proves that you don't need alcohol in order to concoct a delicious drink. Their…read morerefreshments are flavored with real fruit and don't include any added sugar, making them a healthy alternative to sodas, with much more pizazz than just a can of sparkling water. Nine enticing creations make up their menu, all of them being fruity and vibrant in color. Ordering is very simple on the kiosk as you just select your drink and also choose an Adaptogen, which is their version of a health "boost". A few of the Adaptogens are free of cost (I selected the immunity one), but other more premium options will cost a dollar or two extra. According to the staff member, most of the Adaptogens are flavorless. All drinks are $7 each and only come in one size. I've visited on two different occasions and both times, my seltzer was ready in just a couple minutes. + PINEAPPLE BREEZE: A refreshing combination of pineapple purée, passion fruit purée, freeze-dried passion fruit and a thin slice of dried pineapple. Both fruity flavors were balanced; I could taste the bright pineapple and the juicy tropical passion fruit. The seltzer was crisp and perfect to enjoy in the Seattle sun. The freeze-dried passion fruit dissolved over time, strengthening the intensity of its flavor with each sip. + RUBY REFRESHER: This drink included cherry purée in addition to lychee. The menu stated that it also includes coconut, but the employee who helped us said that they have never added coconut to the drink, so I'd suggest that they update the description. Additionally, she said that they were out of the actual lychee fruit which would have otherwise been placed on top, so she substituted with some freeze-dried strawberries. This said, the drink strayed from what was displayed on the menu, but it was still good. The cherry flavor tasted very natural and the lychee flavoring brought a juicy sweetness. With this being located within the Lincoln Food Hall, these seltzers are somewhat of a splurge, but are the perfect addition to round out any meal.

It's at the corner of one of the buildings. Dark, mid sized interior with some cool neon lights and light up marble pattern bar counter. Not very busy when I went at happy hour/dinner time on a Friday night, but the place is busier later at night on Friday/Saturday during the warmer months. Sometimes they have events and DJs. Sat at the bar and tried out some happy hour specials. Got the Korean sauce wings ($12) and cheese truffle fries ($8). Decent amount of fries, definitely has cheese flavor but not that much truffle oil aroma. I liked the wings which you get 6 per order. They weren't fried, but rather tender and juicy. Sauce was agreeable. Definitely enough food for my dinner. As for the drinks, I got the rosemary mule which is Moscow mule with some rosemary herb. The copper mug they use is good sized. Tasted refreshing although could feel the alcohol afterwards. Also tried a corpse reviver no. 2, which was a little sweet but has a punch. Cocktail prices are not cheap outside of happy hour, in the upper teens. Overall, was glad I tried the place out. Will drop by for happy hour once in a while.

The restaurant has a stylish, upscale atmosphere that's perfect for date night or dinner with friends, and every dish was beautifully presented. We ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala (CTM), Chicken Biryani, Chicken Tikka, Garlic Naan, and Lachha Paratha. The CTM was rich, creamy, and packed with flavor, with tender chicken in a perfectly balanced sauce. The biryani was fragrant, flavorful, and generously portioned. The Chicken Tikka was juicy, smoky, and beautifully charred, making it another standout. Both the garlic naan and flaky lachha paratha were perfect for soaking up every bit of the curry. The cocktails were just as impressive. We tried the Funny Girl, which was fruity, refreshing, and beautifully presented with a champagne topper, along with Holy Sip!, a tequila-based cocktail with mango, lime, and a subtle chili kick that was bright and refreshing.

Tender chicken, a cheese sauce, plus some very colorful red and green garnish oils. So pretty, and again, delicious. We have another night in town for work so we may be back tomorrow night to try more of this creative chef's work. Spice levels were pretty mild, so don't let that deter you if you're nervous.

You know, the kind of place where you sit down thinking, "We'll just have one drink," and suddenly it's three tequilas later and you're talking about your childhood dreams. Speaking of tequila... WOW. The tequila selection here is basically a library, and the bartenders are the very enthusiastic librarians. They know everything. My partner and I were lovingly escorted through a full tequila tour before our food even arrived, and honestly? By the time dinner showed up, life was beautiful and all decisions felt correct. Needless to say, we were having an excellent time. The food definitely holds its own too. Everything came out fresh, beautifully plated, and tasting like someone in the kitchen actually cares (which is always a plus). We split a few dishes, including the Carne Asada and the Pescado. The Carne Asada was good, though it could've used just a bit more seasoning, nothing tragic, just a gentle nudge from "good" to "wow." The Pescado, however, was fantastic. Topped with olives, capers, and tomatoes... I mean, how do you even mess that up? You don't. And they didn't. Bonus points: they're open late, until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays. So if you find yourself wandering the streets of Bellevue after hours, questioning your life choices and craving tequila and good food, congratulations, you've found your place. Overall: great vibes, strong drinks, solid food, and bartenders who will happily teach you more about tequila than you ever planned to know. I'd absolutely come back, and probably let them "educate" me again.
