Decided to come back and Carrie-Lynn (sp?) hostess super friendly and remembered us from our first visit - pretty good. Got seats again at the bar pretty quickly. Ordered a glass of Malbec, beer first and decided to try a Run to Daddy cocktail which was 5 stars! Cocktails have great names and taste great. A bit noisy with lots of patrons but good vibes here. A great place to hang out and try great cocktails. read more

The service was great and the corn cake was actually very unique and interesting! The drinks are just too strong though And I consider myself an avid cocktail enjoyer but it was really difficult to taste the different flavor notes in each one because the liquor is just so strong... Unsurprisingly the least-strong one was the winner among my group, I'll be back to try the next menu in hopes that some of the more nuanced flavor combinations shine through better read more

Pretty great bar! Went there for my birthday. cute location, pretty interior, great drinks. Nice staff. Only complaint is that the place closes super early and they have no food. I don't understand the point of owning a bar if you're going to close early. Seattle does not do this right at all. The night I visited, the entire place was crowded with a bunch of corporate groups hanging out taking up the entire interior space which really killed my mood. It's a cool bar with great music and cool vibes. These office people just killed it and made it really unappealing and uncool. I hope these people find another bar because I really like Bar Miriam and will return! read more

The food was overall pretty good. The cocktails were excellent. I think I'd probably do the charcuterie and cocktails again for sure. Some of the food just felt maybe a little over priced for portions or overwrought in some way (the lobster roll was more like lobster toast?). The service was very good and the vibes were quite good too. Very popular with a variety of people and also pretty crowded just about always. read more

Happy Birthday Alexis!!! It was fun to celebrate you, at Bar Miriam ( @barmiriam.seattle ), the other night! Sharing those tiny plates and experiencing such flavors, was grand! From the Stuffed Peppers, with Goat Cheese, to the Lobster Roll, to the lone Slider (because too many people ordered ahead of us ~ dang it!), accompanied by our Berry Cobblers, with Goat Cheese and warm S'mores Ice Cream Sando, it was such a lovely night! Hope you go give them a twirl, at the top of Queen Anne Hill!

We came here after seeing it highly rated, and very glad we did! The drinks were super fun & tasty, and the vibes inside were awesome. The only downside is it gets very busy quickly, so you'll likely need to wait a while to get a standing spot. They do have a wine bar next door you can go to in the meantime read more

Drinks - 3/5 Roasted carrots - 5/5 in winter , 2/5 in summer. They need to make changes to their menu based on the season. Vibes - 5/5 Service - 4/5 They had empty tables but seated us in a corner. The seating is a bit weird at this place but it's a part of the charm. But I would not want to be seated at one end of the room infron of their kitchen. read more

Wow. Came here after I saw them being on the Food and Wine Top 10 list and I can see why. I'm usually a person who prefers the classics when it comes to cocktails, but between the two my wife had and the two I had, everything was so well balanced. A touch too spicy on some of the cocktails, the haloumi fritters could have been more flavorful, and we could have used more duck in the duck pasta but otherwise perfection. Lobster roll was beautifully seasoned and delicious with nice chunks of fresh lobster and a nice hint of lemon juice on top of a tender and buttery toast. Chocolate torte was moist and delicious. Looking forward to coming back! read more

TLDR; One of the best if not the best places of this style in the area and really should be your priority when visiting Queen Anne. Food & Drinks: - Drinks and food are all very very good. - You can order blind here. - Not sure I would come here hungry as its always busy, seating is a bit odd and it's a toss up as to where you'll be or when you'll be seated. Vibe: - Cute sorta French style, if that makes sense. - I wouldn't come here in jeans.. but you do you. - Staff is always on top of things. - Expect it to be lively What can be better: While they're doing their best with the space, standing room tables are tiny and 95% of seating is side by side. This isn't and shouldn't be a deal breaker, but more of an FYI. read more

We popped into Bar Miriam on a whim before our dinner... solid vibe and ambience. Thanks to our awesome server, she rearranged multiple people to fit our group of 6 at the hi top table! We only had 1 drink so I need another visit to fully take it in. Most of the cocktails are pretty obscure - I know my way around mixology and didn't know half the ingredients! Most of the drinks were solid - mine wasn't quite my jam but was going out on a limb. I'll be back to try again with some bites! read more

Leisurely weekend up from Portland with Wife N visiting a few friends. Six of us met at Bar Miriam, Saturday evening, 5:00pm. Not too busy at that time, all of us got a straight row of tables together, place was about half full. Drinks: Wife N ordered the "Blue, Myself" and then a "Sword of Destiny". I ordered a "Frightened Inmate #2". Around the table were a variety of other concoctions. We all took mini sips of each others' and agreed that wowzers, the drinks are very on-point here. Stellar mixology. Inventive. Complex. NOTHING was off--every one of these drinks nailed it in every way. On to the food. She ordered the lobster roll, because...they have one so it must be ordered. Wow, umm...they put like almost an entire lobster in that roll. $27, in retrospect, was not high--that roll brought it and was a solid whole meal in itself. Lightly seasoned with a mayo base and lemon--not much adulterating the flavor, they really just let the lobster shine here. I had the Chilean Sea Bass Crudo.. This was very different from the more Peruvian (leche de tigre, cltrusy) preparations I've typically had. This one was more Mediterranean-style, with an ajoblanco (white creamy/oliv-y/almond-y soup) tart thin-sliced strawberries and micro greens. Absolutely fantastico! Nipped a couple nibbles from around the table...that corn spaetzle is really nice, smoky and sweet. Wife finished it off with their funnel cake dessert. Semi-crispy funnel cake with sliced fresh strawberries and a mezcal-lime infused honey. Nom nom. Fabulous in every way. Absolutely keeping Bar Miriam on our "must return" list. read more

I love having this spot in the neighborhood! It has a super cozy vibe and also a gorgeous interior, in general. I brought my mom in one evening after dinner and we just had a cheese plate and a couple of drinks but everything was delicious! I'm looking forward to trying more of the menu next time! It does get pretty packed but there was still bar seating available. Finally, our bartender was a gem and super attentive even though she was obviously very busy. I'll definitely be back :) read more

Loved everything about this place- warm vibe, friendly staff, fab drinks, yummy food. Place is small and fills up even on a Monday night, but we lucked out with a table after just a short wait. Small booth with a round table is the perfect size for two- not really a place for a big crowd. Creative cocktail list. Loved the perfectly balanced Calmer Than You Are. Plates are good for sharing. Everything we tried was delish- charred escabeche wiht sourdough bread, persimmon tartine with a nice smear of triple cream brie, kushi oysters with sambal cocktail sauce, and a lobster roll. Highly recommend and would return. read more

Bar Miriam is a lovely gastropub in Seattle's Queen Anne neighborhood. It is right by 3rd and W McGraw by the corner hardware store. I used to live in the neighborhood three blocks away in the mid 1990s, so it has gone through a few iterations. But I like the aestethic once I stepped in, quite the transformation from the former cafe. Inviting banquette booth like seating or grab at seat at the S shaped bar counter. Their menu has a nice variety of nibbles (labeled To Start, Garden, Sea, Pasture, and Sweet) for yourself, but ample definitely to share. There are selected aperitifs, mocktails, cocktails, beer, wine, and of course a full bar. The bartender was very friendly and helped me out when I couldn't decide between two menu items. I ended up with the Kentucky Fried Soft Shell Crab sliders ($22)...amazing flavors and texture. Nicely crispy with curry mayo, cilantro, pickled cucumber on a charcoal house roll. Essentially just about everything on the menu held some interest, but checking out Bar Miriam solo definitely I had eyes bigger than my stomach! I selected the Talent Scout (old school circa 1951, $14) as my cocktail. This had Buffalo Trace bourbon, Pierre Ferrant dry curacao, and angostura bitters with a carefully chosen large ice cube. Nice to sip, smooth and strong! My phone was about to croak during my initial visit on Twosday 2/22/22, amended this post on 3/4/22. I remember wanting to try the doughnut holes. The description of Mexican spiced dipping coffee, banana, and toasted cashew sounded intriguing. I definitely need to cultivate a cocktail crew to pare down my ever growing list of cocktail spots to hit in Seattle. I definitely was glad to check out Bar Miriam sooner than later. I look forward to returning and working my way down the menu hopefully with others. Also, the wine shop that is immediately next door will be overseen by the Bar Miriam folks. I was told this will have an early March opening. I'm a long time McCarthy and Schiering wine shop enthusiast (Ravenna and Queen Anne), so I look forward to checking this out too. read more

There were so many twists and turns to get to this unassuming neighborhood gastropub, that you begin to question what you are even doing here. But then you notice the little things; the bottle of Chinese rocket fuel they have on the shelf, the chaotic wall art that oddly matches the background music/noise(?) coming through the speakers. Menus are carved into wooden blocks at the bar. It's a very chill vibe. I asked for an old fashioned; he didn't ask me for specifics or what type of bourbon I preferred. I thought about it and then got distracted by emails. My old fashioned arrived and my eyes popped. Easily one of THE best old fashioneds I'd ever had. Sweet, smooth, delicious. 1. Stone fruit & tomatoes: so good. Soooooo good. I could and would happily drive back through all those twists and turns for another hit of this delightful salad. That addictive yellow dressing- first instinct is curry bc of the rich yellow, but it's not. I checked the menu. Charred corn buttermilk- what?? Amazing 2. Tandoori eggplant: I love a good charred eggplant, but this was nothing compared to the first dish bc it was still blowing my mind. 3. Street corn spaetzel: had to get it bc Jen raved Really interesting and fun textures and flavors 3. Lobster roll: again bc of Jen Generous amount of succulent lobster, well seasoned with light touches of pickles on perfectly soft toasted buttery bread. 5. Steak au poivre: juicy, perfectly cooked flat iron. I respect the fact they didn't ask how we would like it cooked anything beyond medium rare is a crime. The breaded and fried onions were a delightful surprise. Cherry tomatoes added the perfect note to this dish We were too full for dessert, but I will definitely be back. This is such a charming little neighborhood spot, turning out very innovative and delicious creations. If the right people find them, it won't be long before they end up on the James Beard list. read more

Bar Miriam - Paella for two - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

We went to Bar Miriam for a drink and a quick bite on my wife's birthday - and left very impressed. I had an old fashioned with the house bourbon (buffalo trace). It was solid. We ordered the lobster roll, gnocchi and paella. All were delicious - the roll was fresh and flavorful and the paella was amongst the best I've had in Seattle. The gnocchi was fine but the other two were exceptional. The staff was very friendly and attentive and the service was quick. It's a small place and doesn't take reservations - so go early. read more

As I frequent their sister restaurant Baker's fairly often, I was excited to finally try Bar Miriam. While it has a similar vibe, the dining room is more open and sunnier, while the food, service and drinks are just as good. Started off with a Conrad - Japanese gin, lustau blanco vermouth, black lemon bitters, and grapefruit bitters - a perfect summer starter. Like Baker's, you can't go wrong with a plate of their meats and cheese. The softshell crab sliders were different though and super tasty (the charcoal rolls are really dark!). Bar Miriam is a great neighborhood bar, and definitely worth a visit. read more

I like this place but it gives yuppy Queen Anne vibes if you know what I mean. Definitely for the older millennial and younger gen x crowd. Very upscale in the sense of you go there for a cocktail with your girlies if your feeling fancy. Very limited spots but it tends to make a better ambience. This is definitely a bar you only get one or two drinks at and call it a night. Like 9-5 workers going out for a night cap bar. Ifykyk read more

Bar Miriam is a tough spot. While I consider myself a cocktail snob, bar Miriam takes it to a whole new level, with many ingredients even I am not familiar with and a wide array of imported amaros, aperitifs, digestifs, and infused-spirits. While I really enjoy the speakeasy/jazz-club-esque vibe going on, the menu is fairly unapproachable and at times bizarre, even for those of us who are studied in cocktails. I know once can order classics off the menu, I suppose, I just wish there were innovative mixes that were not quite so avant-garde, but rather unique takes on classic favorites. Bar Miriam, I want to love you, and by all accounts, should, but I just don't yet. read more

I do hesitate to put a gem on Yelp, but I want to support the business so hear goes. I was googling to find a mocktail-friendly place for a meeting and was intrigued that I'd passed by Bar Miriam without knowing. Drinks/Food: Great drinks, good oysters. Thumbs up on the Twelve Mile Limit; it was fruity, tart, and sneak-up-on-you boozy. I heard the Can I kick it? Was good and tasted just like a cocktail (except with no alcohol). Oysters were fresh and light though shell pieces kept getting in our mouths. Service: Good! Friendly, attentive, and helpful. Ambiance: Very cute. It's small, fills up quickly, and is not the easiest set up for a private conversation. But fun if you can get there early for a quick drink and catch up. I'll have to ask about dietary friendly option next time, since it didn't look like there many on the menu. Excited to see this in the neighborhood! read more

The cocktails are really good here. Appreciate that they offer low abv/alcohol free drinks as well that are just as good as their alcoholic counterparts. The food is overpriced for what it is. The plates are very small and flavors are hit and miss. The ambiance doesn't add to the experience either. It's very close quarters and gets extremely loud. read more

This place is really endearing. It's tiny and stylish, elevated but not bougie. The staff were really kind and seemed genuinely happy to be there. The food menu is small, but they have tons of drink options (they have whatever you want to drink, I promise). We only had oysters and a few glasses of wine this time but we will definitely be back! Highly recommend. Great place for a date or a meetup, but would avoid for groups. read more

Honestly the worst cocktails I have ever had. This place has gone downhill. Ambiance is nice, but I would not recommend the drinks.

Came to Bar Miriam for an after dinner drink. Small, cozy, PACKED on Friday night. Party of 2 waited to be "seated" and were directed to stand by a bar. Then were ignored for the rest of night. 2 thumbs up for Stiff drinks. NYC bar vibe 100%. read more
