    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

    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.

    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

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

    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.

    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.

    This place was by far an experience you must have and Maloree hands down elevated our experience to another level she was attentive and friendly . She deserves a raise !!

    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.

    ALTITUDE Sky Lounge is located on the 16th floor of Astra Hotel. It has a great view of the Space Needle. You can also see a glimpse of Lake Union. Once you arrive at the hotel, it is very clear how to navigate your way up to the rooftop bar. However, it was a bit challenging operating the elevator as it seemed we needed to scan a hotel key card to access the different floors. My friend was celebrating her birthday and made the reservation for the party. It was a beautiful, sunny Saturday evening. Unfortunately, I forgot to bring my sunglasses, but the bar has sunglasses for customers to borrow during their time here if needed! My sister ordered the Ultraviolet Dreams (purple potato-infused tequila, coconut-ube black sea salt cream, Cointreau, lime) $21 and I ordered the Tech Bubbles (reposado tequila, mango-gochujang shrub, lime, Topo Chico) $20. These were both cocktails off their usual menu. The drinks were pleasant, but definitely on the pricey side. There are also small bites on their non-drink menu. We had a cake for the birthday girl, luckily the bar was able to provide plates and utensils, but for a cost. I don't remember if our waitress said it was $3 or $5 per. Regardless, it was more than I anticipated. All in all, it was a good experience. We were well taken care of with the staff here. They made sure to check back with us frequently.

    Absolutely incredible experience!! All credit goes to Angel who was working there on Saturday night 4/24. We were visiting from LA and didn't have any reservations but she was super kind to let us have this amazing experience. Can't wait to go back! Thank you, Angel!!

    Even with just two glasses of red wine each, our visit to Altitude Sky Bar was absolutely worth it. The atmosphere was laid-back and sophisticated, making it the perfect place to unwind and take in the city from above. We didn't try any food, but the wine was smooth, the service was chill, and we managed to snap some great photos thanks to the gorgeous skyline views. If you're looking for a spot to sip, relax, and elevate your evening in Seattle--this is it.

    We were staying at Hotel Astra and this lovely dramatic sky bar is located rooftop of Astra. You must reserve on their website to visit the sky bar. I'm glad they limit capacity for a better experience. No shows are charged so cancel if you change your mind. You go up in the elevator and when you pop out you will be asked for your name on reservation. It's a 2 hour booking but if it's a slow weeknight you can usually stay longer. There's patio heaters and cool gas fire pits on the coffee tables as well. There is an appetizer menu. We had the charcuterie board. It was tasty. I had wine and Dan had a 7 & 7. Drinks and service are good. They have a small pizza oven up there and make small pizzas that looked good. We were having dinner downstairs so we didn't eat more. I highly recommend both Astra for a stay and Altitude for a great relaxing time.

    Intimate seating but also good for groups

    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… Read more

    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!

In my experience, having a reservation gets you a great table, and walking in gets you a barstool. We had a res and were lucky to get a gorgeous set of chairs with a view. The covered outdoor area didn't look open to the public, so we were glad to have a spot inside. The bar is dark and moody, but still modern and vibrant at the same time. They have lovely, creative drinks. I got a pineapple tequila smokey cocktail and it was SO good! Drinks run about $20, but this seems more standard in seattle these days. They also have a lovely happy hour that we just barely missed, but would definitely come back to try. Such a great spot for casual conversation, good drinks, and a breathtaking view. Something about watching the boats and planes and the waves is just gorgeous. Note- the 20% tip is pre-loaded onto the bill, so any tip you add is on top of that 20%!

    Deep Dive is my favorite cocktail bar in Seattle. The decor is incredible: Very speakeasy vibes,…read moreand every detail feels thoughtful and elevated. The whole space has this intimate, luxurious atmosphere that makes the experience feel special the moment you walk in. We tried the Japanese Breakfast, which is a savory cocktail and such a pleasant surprise. It genuinely has miso soup notes. It's very unique and creative. I also had El Boho (flavorful but not overly sweet). The staff are always friendly and very knowledgeable when it comes to recommending drinks. The prices are on the higher end, but personally I think they're totally worth it for the creativity and overall experience. This is the spot I bring all my out-of-town friends to because the ambiance, vibes, and drinks are just that good. Truly one of Seattle's gems.

    My experience at Deep Dive was unfortunately overshadowed by the service…read more I'll start with the positives because they're deserved. The atmosphere is absolutely beautiful. The space is elegant, unique, and lives up to the photos. I also want to recognize the manager, who was polite, professional, and kindly explained that reservations were required. I completely understand and respect that policy. Unfortunately, my interaction with the bartender before speaking with the manager was the complete opposite. As I tried to get her attention, I felt like she repeatedly looked at me with annoyance and made me feel unwelcome. Rather than simply explaining the reservation policy herself, she went to get the manager instead. She had a problem with Hispanics. She refused to engaged at all. The way I was treated left me feeling uncomfortable and embarrassed, especially as someone who was genuinely excited to visit. A beautiful venue can only go so far when the hospitality doesn't match. I would have happily accepted that reservations were required if I had simply been treated with basic kindness and respect from the start. I truly hope this was an isolated incident because the location itself is stunning, and the manager handled the situation professionally. Unfortunately, because of my interaction with the bartender I've added in the photos, I don't see myself returning. Sadly they have a Prejudice bartender.

The drinks are nothing special and definitely not the highlight, but they get the job done while you take in one of the best panoramas in Seattle.

You can see all of downtown, the Puget Sound, and the peninsula across the water as the floor slowly rotates. It's an easy, relaxed way to take in everything without having to move around.

I am a rebel with a food cause and opted to dine at The Loupe Lounge on my layover. Well, that was the master plan but coming from Maui, there were delays and my little mission was diverted. Abort? Absolutely NOT! Being a SUPER optimistic about everything in life, I rushed to make a 5:30 p.m. reservation at 7:00 p.m. I know, it was pushing it but for $150 a person I did not want this opportunity to go to waste. We arrived at The Space Needle and were whisked up to The Loupe Lounge. The host was not sure if they could still serve us so she rushed to get the manager. She must have gone back to NYC Fashion Week because here comes the manager looking like a whole GQ model, super trendy manager in the house! Well, he accommodated us, very cool of him. You're an Angel cause we were starving! The food was packaged to go, it was so delicious I'm super bummed that we didn't get to experience this in person. It was pretty in a box can't imagine what it would have been like in person! Beggars can't be choosers! The meal was fantastic! Caviar was packaged with ice! How accommodating and it passed TSA. Drinks were amazing and Andrea was the BEST waitress! Lucky we had her! Overall, if I'm back in Seattle this is back on my to-do list! Very cool experience and worth every penny! Honestly pretty cheap considering all you get! The drinks alone were worth it!

Tucked down the alley by the gum wall, it's a great option for wood fired pizzas. The space is fairly small and very low-lit, but thriving with energy. Our service was fantastic, drinks were good, but besides the pizza the food was pretty hit or miss. We had a table of 4 and we kept the table full the entire time. We started off with a salad, spicy mac n cheese, cheese sticks, and Brie and cheese. Salad was light and refreshing. The cheese sticks were pretty normal, but also good. The spicy mac n cheese to me had zero spice. Just some mac in a cast iron pan. The apple and Brie had a nice presentation but the smallest amount of Brie possible(my picture was too blurry to post). The Broccolini I am not sure how it was defined as broccolini because the 5 pieces that came on the plate were huge. While packed with flavors of lemon and Parmesan they had a very tree like feel and were a bit on the harder side. The El Diablo pizza, to be straight forward was by far the best part of the stop. The crust could have been a little more well done, but that's just me splitting hairs. I ate more of that than anyone else. Probably could have finished it myself if I hadn't stopped for a lobster roll beforehand. Either way, great service, good drinks and legit pizzas!

    Instagram : @yeapeats…read more I was excited to try Needle & Thread since it's often described as a speakeasy, but the "hidden" aspect didn't quite live up to expectations. Unlike other speakeasies that feel truly hidden, you actually just walk into Tavern Law, check in with the hostess, and let them know you have a reservation. They then guide you to a telephone where you repeat your reservation name before being let upstairs. It's a fun concept, but not especially secretive, and they're pretty strict about not letting you up early unless it's very empty. Once seated, we actually waited almost 20 minutes before being served with no acknowledgement. We ended up having to flag down the manager just to bring attention to our table, which was disappointing given the experience they're aiming for. The waitress asks a series of questions about your preferences--likes, dislikes, and flavor inspirations--so the bartenders can create custom cocktails for you. If you're knowledgeable about alcohol, this is probably a dream. If you're not (like me), it can feel a little intimidating, but our waitress was patient and did her best to guide us through it. The drinks themselves were excellent. Even the shots were customized, which was a nice touch. The vibe upstairs is chill and relatively quiet, making it a great place to relax and talk. Food is the same menu as downstairs at Tavern Law, so nothing new there. The only downside--and unfortunately a noticeable one--was an interaction with the female bartender (not our waitress). Based on the questions we were asked, my friend gave a mix of savory and sweet preferences, since we were told these were just inspirations. However, the female bartender came over sounding visibly annoyed and said, "So do you want savory or sweet? You're giving contradicting answers." The tone felt unnecessarily rude, especially since we were just following the process as it was explained to us. Overall, the drinks were great and the concept is unique, but between the delayed service and that negative interaction, it definitely put a damper on the experience.
