    It's really for the vibes. It gets very busy and I do understand it to the vibes. However the drinks are definitely on the expensive side and it's only ok. I thought the view to the space needle was really nice and I took a lot of pictures of it. Service was decent. Overall, it's a good place for the view but if you are look for a good place for drinks, I say it's only passable.

    It was a cute dinner spot in our way to a night out. Drinks were nice and food was good as well. Service took a little long and music might be too loud for some.

    Great drinks, amazing service, and a beautiful view! Just a heads-up: the drinks are on the pricier side, but they're super creative and unique. I especially loved how all the cocktails had tech-themed names, it added a fun touch. We ordered one of their signature drinks and absolutely loved it (my favorite was "clickbait"). We also split the butter chicken flatbread, which was pretty good. Honestly, if we had more time, we definitely would've tried more from the food menu. Also, a special shoutout to the bartenders--they were awesome! Very nice, good service, and made fire drinks. The seating options are great too. You can sit outside by the fire pits with plenty of space, or inside at high-tops or cozy booth-style tables. The whole place feels pretty classy. Plus, you get a view of the Space Needle and some of SLU's skyline. oh, and the hotel even had a cleaning robot, which I thought was cool.

    I was so excited to check this place out with all the online social hype and word of mouth chatter. I was pleased with the stunning beautiful view and cleanliness of the place but however wasn't impressed by the slow service. I sat at least 30 mins before having someone come and take my order. I really wanted to like this place..... on the other hand I did enjoy my plate of the drunken chicken buns although I felt it was a bit over priced & not as filling as I'd hoped.... I also wasn't pleased with my old fashion drink. It was very bitter and nothing like I've ever had before..... I don't usually complain like this so you can imagine how disappointed I was.... I truly hope management improves this issue & elevate to their full potential....

    I was visiting seattle for the first time & wanted to do all the touristy like things, I saw that this rooftop had a nice view of the space needle and wanted to enjoy the view. we arrived to the front entrance of the hotel where the lounge is located at, at 7pm. We were told that there was an event going on and we would have to come back at 8pm. We came back at 8pm and were told that the event was taking a little longer and to come back or wait until 8:30. Once we came back at 8:30 we waited another 5 minutes before we were shown to the elevator where we would be taken to the lounge on the rooftop. We were told to check in with Chris (thinking he was informed that we had been waiting over 1.5 hours) Upon checking in with the front desk (Chris) showed us to two seats by the fire pit. within a few minutes my company and I decided we'd feel more comfortable with a small hi top table since we were going to be dining as well as having cocktails. We asked a nearby staff member if we'd be able to get moved and were accommodated. A minute after us being moved (Chris) seemed to have not been happy that the move had happened. Nothing was told to us but we overheard him lecturing the female staff member over it. Mind you, we were the first people let in once the event was done. There was plenty seating and no one had arrived yet. I understand wanting to maximize the space but the quality of service should have been more important. From then we continued to order a couple cocktails each and tried a few food items. The only drink I liked was the amaro coded, I would not recommend any other out of the 5. we tried the pizza & it was super disappointing, I would prefer little ceasars. The flatbread had no flavor and tasted like cardboard and was too small to be 20 dollars. If you're going to come here I would highly recommend getting a martini and maybe the homemade potato chips. This place doesn't seem to put effort into the food or drinks let alone the service. The server we had seemed to have been the only one on the floor going back and forth with everything so I don't blame her for not being as attentive. I wish our experience to have been better but thankfully we went to a nearby jazz bar that saved the night! (:

    Located near the south lake this rooftop place has a very pretty view of the water, the space needle and the downtown. Perfect for a summer evening to watch the sunset while enjoying their amazing drinks. They also offer drinks which arent on the menu which were pretty good. Our servers were very nice and attentive and also helped us choose drinks . The food was decent too. There was a dj playing good music, the vibes were great

    Flat bread pizza

    Everything was great! The drinks were great! The atmosphere was great! The food is great! The only thing I was a bit disappointed about was the lamb lollipops. Tasted good but wasn't expecting them to be grounded meat. Our server Valarie was awesome!

    Beautiful view during sunset. Flatbread were super tasty. Drinks were strong. Service was a little slow but fine.

    Extremely disappointed in this place. It was packed on a Saturday night. The indoor seating was reservation only but without a reservation you could hang out outside. Everyone had to order at the bar and the bar only had three bartenders and hence the lines were really long. I think this place has great potential but they need to manage it well. More than 50% of the reserved tables were empty at 11 pm on a Saturday. They should also include some table side service if they want to create an intimate atmosphere. Overall, the place was super loud, not cz of the music but because of the people screaming. The cocktails were average. We tried a mangattan and a cosmopolitan. Both tasted cheap, likely made using cheap liquor and made really fast without any consideration to taste. I will not be back.

    Decide what you want and go for it. I wanted a sunset evening with a cold cider in hand. I got exactly what I wanted. Reserve a spot on the website for 8:00 pm in May and enjoy the sunset with whomever sparks your soul. Great views in Seattle.

    Amazing view, good cocktails, great service (thanks Maloree!) If you are looking for a fun rooftop while in Seattle this is the place.

    The views here are just INCREDIBLE! This rooftop has a full pan of South Lake Union and the Space Needle. It's especially gorgeous with all the fall foliage. The heaters on a chilly autumn evening were also a perfect touch. Drinks are expensive ($20+ range) but creative and delicious, and food does the job but is nothing to write home about (We got the BBQ Chicken Flatbread for $18 and the Charcuterie Board for $21). Stephanie was super sweet! Located on the rooftop of a hotel.

    Okay the positives... the views were amazing, the vibes are outstanding. They have a live DJ who was cookin it was great! We ordered the whipped feta dip, the artichoke dip, the pepperoni flatbread and the prosciutto apple flatbread all of those were freaking delicious amazing. This place has so much potential if they improved their service. The service was so bad it took 45 min to get our first round of drinks. Our server was really nice but maybe stretched too thin bc she forgot to put our order in and threw away her paper that she wrote it on so she had to come re take our order. We had full intentions of ordering entrees from here but they were out of the main dishes. Just seems like the kitchen manager isn't planning well, staff doesn't have help from management. The only thing keeping this restaurant afloat is the view and the DJ

    If I make an indoor reservation, will there be a chance to get outdoor seating if available at the time?

    I got an indoor reservation and requested for the outdoor upon arrival. They were able to place us outdoors. If you state in the reservation you want outdoors, that could help you. I booked for 8:00p.m. And had a phenomenal view of the sunset. 🌅

    How's the dress code?

    Two of us women wore dresses. Dan wore nice slacks and polo shirt. No real dress code bud it's a nice place.

    Is it a 21 and older restaurant?

    Yes!

    Is it too cold to sit on the outside patio this time of year? I want to visit this weekend, but not sure if I should make the reservation for outside or inside.

    Hello! The outdoor portion of our rooftop will be closed if there is rain or snow. If it is dry out, we may be able to use the fire pits. We are not currently offering bookable outdoor reservations online though, so you'd have to reserve indoor. If… 

    Do you provide or validate parking?

    Hello! Unfortunately, we do not validate. However, street parking is free after certain hours during the day, same with many of the garages in the area after 3pm. Thanks!

    Can I come here on my 21st birthday? Will I be refused

    Yes just make reservation.

    Will you guys be open end of this month?

    Thanks for asking! Yes. We are open year round and have firepits for chillier nights, and inside seating with glass walls for the view!

    Can you be under 21 years old but over 18 and get in?

    Hello, unfortunately, no. We do not accept minors. You must be 21+ with a valid ID to get in.

    Are babies allowed?

    I don't think so. They asked for my Id when I went.

    Are non-service dogs allowed? She's an ESA dog if it counts?

    Hello! I apologize but we are not pet friendly at this time.

    I am not seeing an option to reserve on Tock. How can I make a reservation?

    Hello! We've temporarily paused reservations. We are only accepting walk-ins at this time. Thank you.

    Do you accept walk-ins?

    Hello Em! We accept limited walk-ins based on a first come, first serve basis. We highly recommend reservations to guarantee your spot, though. Thank you!

The rooftop views are some of the best in the city, especially once Seattle starts lighting up, and the atmosphere is ultimately what you show up and stay for. Drinks are definitely pricey at $20+, but I appreciate that the snacks remain closer to happy hour pricing. We ordered the shishito peppers and hummus plate for around $11-$12 each, which felt surprisingly reasonable considering the setting. Staff was suuuuper nice! And after striking out on espresso martinis at our previous stop, we finally got our redemption here. The Nest's espresso martini ranks somewhere mid-tier for me compared to others around the city, but at that point we were just happy to have one in hand. You're definitely paying a premium for cocktails, but the food pricing helps balance things out and that view makes a pretty convincing argument for staying for another round. Come for a drink. Stay because Seattle looks really good from up here.

You enter through a vault door in the back of Tavern Law by picking up an antique telephone. Cool right?! Yep. Once they let you in, off you go up the stairs. We were greeted and directed to our table. Because they don't have menus, your bartender will get to know you a bit. Think moods, taste buds, flavors you love - any insights you can offer will benefit you and your beverage. It's quite engaging and interactive. They jot down your order on a coaster which then becomes a keepsake that you can take with you. I thought it was a really nice touch. Very ideal for a scrapbook/journaling person (read: me). I went with my usual everyday state of being - READING! Make me a drink with dark academia, literature, the library, bookstores, coffee, cafes, etc etc. in mind. My drinks were very me! Both beverages were refreshing, tasty, and coffee-forward. The service was phenomenal and attentive. The energy of Needle and Thread is quirky with a variety of seating arrangements, antique furniture, and warmth. Vibey, if you will. They serve food as well, but we didn't eat. Make a reservation and indulge in this experience! Enjoy your bespoke cocktail! Also, highly recommend checking out their website to learn more about the speakeasy and FAQ's. Oh! They also check in to see if you have any allergies. 10/10!

Past visit 2+ years ago the reservation is through Tock. Recently the reservation is through OpenTable so I thought the points credits will be honored here as they are in the OpenTable network, so I redeemed points to discount $8, only to not be applied to the bill since the reservation $15 per person is a deposit and refunded on seating, instead of most places where the deposit deducts the cost of the final bill. None of the bartenders could do anything, and didn't bother raising this to management (probably downstairs at Tavern Law could've remedied the situation but the short turnaround time implied they didn't try). Additionally, when I got my drink, the bartender did not bother taking a second look to see there's a bug. It was deep inside the drink, not at the top, so the bug did not just fly and land on the drink after being served. So it was a bit negligent, especially given they jacked up the price from $21 to $25 in just 2 years. The price increase did not justify the quality, if anything, price went up significantly and quality dropped... The bartender addressed the issue by remaking the drink but the drink was noticeably smaller than the original one. It would only have made sense if I drank a lot of it, but I only had small sip stopped when I saw the bug. The experience was very frustrating overall that I didn't wish to tip, only to find out they added a 20%+ service charge without my consent when I looked at the credit card statement. That is fraud. Fraudulently adding a tip to yourself earned you a 1 star. Otherwise this would've been more a 3 star experience due to the miss from the bug, and the OpenTable issue.

We had to get on a wait list which proved to not be much of a long wait at all. When we sat down it was at a small table and it was packed.

This was a good snack although eating the Broccolini with the toast was a little bit difficult as the broccoli wasn't easy to bite through while the toast was. Still very tasty though. The other snack was Sweet & Spicy Chicken Bites which were popcorn sized chicken bites put in Gochujang Sauce and rolled in sesame seeds and scallions. We definitely liked this snack the best.
