Lovely bar! We came on a saturday night and was pleasantly surprised that we could find seating right away. It's mostly couches and lounging seats which makes for a cozy atmosphere and perfect for a date night. The cocktails were soo delish. They have a seasonal menu as well and the service was very attentive while being mindful of our conversations. New bar to recommend in cap hill! read more

Belmont feels like stepping into a different century in the best way. The space is dark and intimate with a vintage feel that makes it stand out from your typical cocktail spot. Drinks are well crafted and fit the atmosphere, more classic and thoughtful than trendy. It is the kind of place where you slow down and enjoy the experience. Perfect for a date night or when you want a cocktail somewhere that feels a little transportive read more

WOW!!! This is my new favorite bar in Seattle. I had never had an espresso martini and have always avoided them because I was scared of being simultaneously struck with bitter coffee and burning vodka. BUT WOW, this drink tasted SOOO good. It had the perfect element of sweetness to cut the coffee's bitterness. The vodka is perfectly covered such that you feel a little sensation on your tongue from it on each sip and nothing else. When you exhale after each sip, the deeper coffee notes float on your breath and make for a very special two-part experience. 11/10 cocktail. ONTOP OF ALL THAT, their ambience is so good. Their leather couches and paintings make for a super chill atmosphere that still maintains a classy vibe thats perfect for dates or friend hangouts. FOR EVERYTHING HONESTLY!!! read more

Great space to bring friends when you want to enjoy a quieter ambiance on Pike street over some drinks. If you're here for happy hour I'd easily recommend the old fashioned and French 75. The espresso martini is also always a big hit, especially in the summer if you get the frozen variety. read more

What an absolute hidden treasure we found!! We came to Capitol Hill for drinks but with no plan. We stumbled onto Belmont and enjoyed it so much we came for both our nights in Seattle. Great drinks. They make a good Aperol Spritz. The Red, White & Blue is also a refreshing, delicious cocktail. If you're a whiskey fan, the Don Draper Old Fashioned is the way to go. They do a great Happy Hour here. From 5-7p everyday, they offer select cocktails and a hotdog for $8. And it was a surprisingly tasty hotdog, too! Service is efficient, and everyone was wonderful. Gives off an old-time bar vibe and is the perfect place for a date night. read more

Great cocktails and vibe! Service can be slow, but most of the drinks are slow sippers so that isn't often an issue. Nice place to go if you're looking to chat and be able to hear the conversation easily. read more

Cool chill vibe with big comfy leather chairs and sofas that looked like something you might imagine being in a cigar parlor. The place quickly filled up on a Saturday night and soon had people waiting for seats. But with only one waiter and one bar tender working the wait to get served was ridiculously long. We should've just ordered 2 drinks each up front had we known that it would take so long to get our order taken and even longer for the drink to be served - not even exaggerating. Ended up leaving after paying for my drink and a 22% "service charge" ??? LOL kind of ironic paying for the lack of service. The Belmont did look like they had some interesting cocktails that I was really interested in trying. Probably won't go back. Could've been an off night for them but not the experience I was looking for. read more

Perfect spot for a pre-theater cocktail before the Paramount. Their $10 Happy Hour runs until 7pm and this French 75 from that menu was delicious! Sunny outdoor seating also extremely relaxing and great for people-watching. Bar tender was also very sweet and kind. read more

If you're at Starbucks Reserve and want an espresso martini but the line is too long, then walk a couple blocks down to enjoy Belmont! The drinks are normally on the pricier side but are well-worth the money. The happy hour is definitely a good value proposition. They do the classics well with my favorite being their Don Draper Old Fashioned. Their espresso martini is a limited blended frozen drink - so get their early if you want one. The vibe is a relaxed, old-timey speakeasy with plush leather furniture and that film noir lighting. read more

Cozy ambiance. Quality drinks and solid service. However, I likely won't be back after they started the recent service charge. I have no problem with a standard gratuity, but I have a big problem with any part of the "service" charge going to the house. It's dishonest -- raise your prices if you need to. read more

This place is so cozy, and we loved coming here for a nightcap after a long day of showing our friends, visiting from San Francisco and LA, around the city. We walked by before dinner and were excited to pet their puppy. He's enormous, and we thought he was fake at first until we saw him moving around, lol. The owners were friendly and accommodating of us, even taking the time to give a backstory to them starting this beautiful lounge and bringing some of their SoCal vibes into the mix. We didn't order dinner but did order some apps, so we'll have to come back for the food because some folks in here ordered and it smelled delicious. The cocktails are the star of the show here; you really can't go wrong. There's clearly care in how they craft their cocktails, and we were really happy to have chosen this place to end our night. I highly recommend it. It's good for groups, dates, and business. We will definitely be back! read more

Belmont is the perfect spot for a cozy date night. The atmosphere is inviting with its large leather sofas, palm trees, and oversized rugs, all illuminated by the warm glow of largely melted candle wax. We stopped in for happy hour (we learned happens every day from 5-7 PM) and were not disappointed. The Don Draper Old Fashioned had a classic, smooth taste, while the Aperol Spritz and Liz Lemon offered refreshing, lighter options. The highlight of the evening was the Bangkok Bling--definitely our party's favorite. Highly recommend for a relaxed and stylish evening out! Drinks came out in a jiffy and the service was quick and efficient. Pro tip: If it's a chilly, gloomy, rainy day, or if you really enjoy Chinese dumplings / noodles - place an order across the street at Biang Biang Noodles, they won't disappoint ! read more

I went to the Belmont a few years ago. I remembered it having a nice environment for conversation, so this past week I went back to meet up with a friend. The ambiance is still very nice and the drinks are good. We got a mulled wine and happy hour old fashioned. However I won't be coming back because they don't warn you about the "22% service charge for parties greater than zero" upfront. I don't mind included gratuity - I just don't appreciate that there was no indication of this included gratuity until after the fact. Not to mention, it was very empty for a Saturday night and, although our server was very nice, the service was very slow. read more

Good music, like the ambiance - dark library vibes with leather couches and armchairs. Cocktails are tasty and smooth, but not particularly unique or top notch. Servers were nice and quick, busy night, but not much of a wait. read more

I love that Belmont has a seasonal menu and intimate seating, perfect for catching up with friends. Service was perfect for me - I'm a slow drinker and we were checked on only a few times by our server, but not too excessively that our conversation was interrupted. This definitely is a place for small over big groups. I'd recommend walking or taking transit, as parking is very limited. read more

We like to take guests here for chill but fancy drinks. It's a true lounge, where you can hang out and sip drinks and socialize in oversized chairs and couches. It's a classic decor and the servers are very helpful. I wish the drink list had a little more variety on it but I do like their specials that they do and usually end up ordering from there. read more

Love the vibes at Belmont. It's great for sitting down and chatting with a group of friends. Came here for a birthday around 10pm on a Saturday with a group of 13 and we were able to get seating luckily. They have a couple of couches and lighting is dimmer. Would be good to take a date here for more romantic drinks since you can actually hear each other. I got the banana stand which is banana martini. The drink itself tasted a like artificial bananas but I liked the brûlée banana on top read more

Just happened to stop in here when deciding on where to get a drink, and we couldn't have been happier about it! The vibe was wonderful, and our group got to sit in our own little section on a nice leather couch. We didn't have to wait for a table on a Friday night which was so convenient. These drinks were amazing! Specifically, the Bangkok Bling and the Banana Stand were a stand-outs. Highly recommend checking out this cozy spot for some incredible drinks! read more

This bar has very elegant and old fashioned vibes. The seating arrangement consists of large sofas and coffee tables, which is nice for aesthetic purposes but can be a little difficult if you have a smaller group and are scattered horizontally sitting on a couch. We came on a Friday night and were still able to get one of the remaining tables. Between the two cocktails we ordered, there was one we liked and one we didn't as much. The daiquiri was quite strong, and tasted a little different than the ones I'm used to. However, the other (which I forgot the name of) was quite good. You could tell it was strong but it didn't taste so pungent. The dim lighting created a nice atmosphere and it wasn't too loud either. A decent spot for a drink! read more

Finally a chill place to chat with friends and crush some cheap happy hour drinks! Really like the place even after happy hour.

I wish they had more food varieties! We loved our drinks here and wanted another round but ended up heading out to another place because we wanted actual food (like fries). Their snack menu includes popcorn, cheese plate, olives and more. However, i do really enjoy their ambiance and drinks. Will definitely be returning again sometime. read more

Comfortable to hang out & chat, but not impressed with the drinks. Came here with several friends, while the vibe was nice, we did not like our cocktails that much. Staff was nice and accommodating though, since we had a big-ish group with limited open seating. read more

Best Manhattan in Seattle (imo). Decor is dark and cool and the candles with all of the melted wax are fun to look at. I've come here with a large group, on dates, and solo. Each time I've had a good experience. The music and conversation levels are quiet enough that you can actually hear the people you're with. Noticed when I was there last time they were selling hotdogs but didn't get one. Drinks are pretty expensive, though. Or at least a Manhattan is. With tip, it was about $30. That said, this isn't some place visit come often, but is always a lovely time when I am there. read more

Outstanding evening at Belmont. Great service and holiday cocktail specials were excellent. Highly recommend!

I don't think I've ever had a good experience here. I've been a few times as my friends enjoy going here. Somehow every time I go, the staff is just so rude. And I always approach them with a kind attitude even during their busiest hours. We waited about 40 minutes after being seated, for someone to take our order. It didn't look that busy inside either. Seems as if we were overlooked quite a bit. Not sure if it's cuz we look younger? Maybe they don't think we will tip well compared to their older more established clients? I ordered the Pamola, very strong and no distinct flavor other than tequila. Yet again a disappointment. read more

A fancy bar! I went on a Friday at ~11 and it was bustling with people. We had to wait around 15 mins for a table of 5. But once we were inside, the service was quick. The sofas are comfortable to sit on and provide a higher seating standard than most bars around Cap Hill. The drinks are unique and undeniably good. Being a whiskey fan, I got the Don Draper, which is an Old Forester Bourbon, and George Dickel Rye Old Fashioned. It was my first time having an Old Fashioned with rye whiskey, and it was a pretty good drink. But apart from the taste, the aesthetic presentation added to the drink being my favourite that night. Clear cut ice, neatly folded and pierced orange peel and cherry slices, made the drink look outstanding. The drink does justice to its higher price tag. Overall: Ambiance: 4.5/5 Drink: 4.5/5 read more

I came here during their happy hour (5-7pm daily) and got a seat at the bar. It's lightly dimmed and has a very relaxed ambience. The music is soothing and it's a cool place for some light conversations. My first drink was the old fashioned ($10) which was slightly sweet and did not have a strong whiskey taste. My second drink was the negroni ($10) which was slightly sweet and no one flavor overpowered the others. They're both solid drinks and I was really pleased with them. This place isn't a place for a meal as there are only some small snacks and shareables. I do wish they had more options for food here. The two drinks that I ordered were on their happy hour menu but if those drinks are any indication about the rest of their drinks this place is worth trying out any time of day. read more

The Belmont Lounge is a really nice bar in Capitol Hill. It is the perfect place to meet with friends and relax. It is really comfortable with some wonderful sofas and chairs. They seemed to have some nice cocktails, but an outstanding wine menu so I had some red wine. I also ordered a cheese plate and some popcorn. The cheese plate was really good and went well with the wine. I also really enjoyed the popcorn, which had a really nice flavor to it. read more

Most of their drinks are good. The Old Glory is great if you don't like your drinks to taste super strong. Singapore Sling was kinda disgusting, I do not recommend it. This place has a good vibe and is fun if you come with a small group They're really weird about not moving empty chairs from neighboring tables to accommodate bigger groups because "it messes up their aesthetic." I understand that, but I don't recommend going here with a big group because you may or may not get a table even if there's space available. Also the service was extremely slow both times I've been read more

I was impressed with how quickly we were seated inside. We were offered to sit outside while waiting but as soon as the waiter brought the menu to our outdoor table, the manager like gentleman led us to the indoor seating. My friend had an old fashioned and rose. I had a sparkling and must say that drinks are very good. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful with the drink choices. Great decor and ambiance for late night drink. Very diverse mixed crowd. The only disappointment was the cheese and charcuterie platter. Not the best cheese and charcuterie choices, but this bar is a bar and not for someone who was hungry like myself. read more

Nice atmosphere especially for a date. Drinks are alright. I'm not much of a drinker so usually I get a strong buzz from one cocktail but felt nothing after having the French gimlet. Cheese and charcuterie plate - if you are into food like me, have low expectations. It's a fun plate but they are not big on quality. Cheeses seemed highly processed. Overall I enjoyed my visit here, just have low expectations other than the ambiance. read more

I realllllly want to like this place. But I've never actually been able to try anything. 3 times in a row now, I've walked in, been seated at the bar, and sat there for 10-15minutes while the bar staff ignores me and take orders of the people around me. I've owned 2 bars in Seattle, so my manners are very appreciative to bar and restaurant staff. When I inevitably get up to leave and get a drink somewhere else, I get asked, Oh did you want something? I don't get it? read more

I've heard of Belmont and was happy to give it a go on a weeknight during the fall! It was pretty full, although not packed, so plan accordingly if you're to stop in on a weekend. The interior is classy, which I'm a huge fan of given my obsession with dresses and the disappointing overabundance of grungy dive bars in Seattle. Also craft cocktails. Who doesn't love that?? There were a lot of tasty sounding beverage options so choosing wasn't the easiest of tasks, although I finally went with a citrusy cocktail served up, whose name is evading me at the moment. It was probably gin or vodka based because those tend to be my go-tos. Anywho. It was tasty, would order again (what ever it was). My friend seemed to enjoy his drinks as well. We sat side by side on a couch which is not the most ideal situation for conversations (and dress wearing) but we made it work. Our waiter was not my fave although it didn't put a damper on the evening by any means. I'd be happy to come back to enjoy more flavorful drinks and the subtly sophisticated atmosphere. read more
