Really love how this former wine bar turned into a lounge where I love to grab whiskey based cocktails. The ambiance is really comfortable and chill, with a touch of class. I've been here a couple times; with larger groups lounging on the couches and with one other person at the bar. Whatever the experience, the service is easy going, yet attentive and the drinks are consistently tasty. I love classic cocktails like an old fashioned. Here they expand the love of classics with great beverages like the Don Draper and the 212 Manhattan. I also really like the house aperol spritz and the house old fashioned. The prices are on par with what you'll find in Cap HIll. I'll definitely be back! read more

My friends and I frequented Belmont before the pandemic and missed the atmosphere and people over the past couple of years. We've been back a few times since the beginning of the year. It has a sexy vibe and is great for hanging with a few friends or just by yourself. Their cocktails are adventurous aone of my favorites is Rum With the Devil. Friday and Saturday nights can have a bit of a wait - 10 to 15 minutes. Well worth it. Say hello to Maddy - she's the best! read more

Went here for a drink the other night. The cocktails were amazing and the staff was friendly. Antique lamps, tufted leather sofas and Moroccan rugs give this place a cool, comfortable vibe. A perfect place to stop by for a drink before or after dinner. Definitely will be back. read more

Cute atmosphere with very cute decor. Fun drink selection with new spins on old favorites. Great place to meet up with the girls or go to for date night. Excellent location. read more

I was visiting my sister since she just moved to the area for a new job. After getting some ice cream close by at Frankie and Jo's, I stubbed across this magnificent place. I really loved the decor and how spacious it is. Definitely can get some intimate drinks if having a date night or it can even accommodate to a large group. The bartender was very good at entertaining us.I sure will go back there on my next trip which would be soon. read more

Cool place , I came here with my mother about a week ago. She was on the mood for wine and cheese . I was a last minute thing and we didn't really know where to go . I was able find Belmont Lounge on the maps and I saw a couple of things that caught my attention . Long story short we came , the waiting was bad . Many of the tables were open but I think they were for reservations only. I felt like it was about 20 or more mins waiting. After all the table was ready and we were starving we order a scotch and they were all out of it. Not the best experience but the rest of the food was very good. read more

Such a cool atmosphere with a delicious selection of interesting drinks. Service was great, but what you're really paying for is the great ambiance, comfy furniture and overall 1920s speakeasy vibe. Start at Rumba down the street and make your way up here. read more

Great atmosphere. New Orleans vibes. Craft cocktails and some pretty good snacks. Easy to skip dinner and try all the appetizers. Good variety of spirits in the cocktails. Mostly couches to sit with coffee tables. Few real tables. No parking. Recommend Uber for this one or walking. read more

Belmont - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Do you wanna get unforgettable vibes of old America? It's a great place to go to. Sometimes they play music like Great Gatsby and you feel yourself like in a movie. Sometimes it's a new mixes. Cocktails are great. Not too much food unfortunately (I love to eat appetizers), but cocktails are amazing. Very attentive servers. Obsessed with walls color. read more

Discovered what is now one of my favorite rum here at the Belmont Lounge. The staff is super friendly. The interior is roomy, comfortable and casual with all sorts of sofas and lounging furniture on the inside. There's also outside seating for the warm Seattle days. read more

Love the atmosphere & the music--I also love its proximity to my apartment! I haven't tried the fare yet (I plan to), but I enjoyed the house red. My only advisement or criticism would be to change the verbiage of the last page of their menu in which they claim to be a "Ladies & Gentlemen's club." It is a bit tone deaf considering they've just opened up in what is historically Seattle's queer neighborhood. Since we are a hub for intersectionality & inclusivity here, in Seattle (more specifically on Capitol Hill), I hold businesses to a high standard in this regard. I hope to see The Belmont adapt to their neighborhood instead of trampling on its culture as many new businesses have recently done. read more

ambiance is amazing. so cute and fun to be in. the espresso martini is not at all what i expected, literally a cup of liquor. not the worst thing i've ever tasted but also not something i want to drink. read more

Ordered a Mr Deadly, custom. Someone from their staff took my drink before I finished it. Waste of $15.

Visiting Seattle and looking for a nice relaxing place for a cocktail we found this gem. You're missing out if you don't add this to your list of places to visit in Seattle. read more

Really liked this place when we first got here. But then my group of 6 was asked to separate because other people might show up and may want the seats. Super rude and felt like the management wanted us to leave. Won't be coming back. read more

We had a great time getting happy hour here; so great that we came back twice in 24 hours! We pulled up a couple of chairs with our group on the couch to hang out and play some trivial pursuit. However, after about 1 hour in, a (presumably) manager made us adjust our seats by trading our two chairs for a tiny bench. Our tiny bench sat directly in front of the other chairs we were just sitting in, and no one ever sat in the chairs after we moved, since it would be way too cramped. We were definitely willing to make room, but this felt arbitrary and controlling. A major turn off. Probably wouldn't return :/ read more

I have mixed feelings about this place- the atmosphere is lovely, fairly comfortable with comfortable chairs, couches, tables, etc for a nice lounge feel. I was under the impression that The Belmont was more of a "wine-bar" with cocktails and other spirits as well (considering the history of the space as a wine shop) however I was very disappointed in the wine selection. There were only 5-ish options for reds. One of which is the 'house'. Their menu of cocktails, beer, and spirit flights makes up the actual menu. They offer a few tapas selections and have a daily feature tapas that changes. My friend and I had the burrata with toast and tomatoes and it was quite good. One of the wines we had was lovely and the other two we tried were meh. The issues I had was that one of the circulating hostesses?waitresses? Kept taking our damn menus! We had to keep asking to get the menu back. We only wanted one copy so when we were ready for another item we could be ready to order. At least 3 times this lady took our menus! She also only asked one of us for our ID- which I don't mind people asking for ID's, but it's a bit awkward when you only ask one person in the party. The music kept getting louder and louder over the course of a few hours too, which is just a small personal pet peeve and may not bother others-I don't like yelling conversations though. And lastly- my biggest complaint is that they don't put their wine-flight option on the menu! It wasn't u til my friend and I both had wines that we found out that do tasting flight, and I just can't understand why you wouldn't list this option on the menu. read more

This is a really nice and cozy lounge. We came here after dinner on a double date night, because we were looking for a nice bar to relax at. The ambiance is great. The furniture is a bit mismatched and vintage, which I love. It was warm and cozy. I opted for a cocktail called the Singapore sling, and it was pretty good. My hubby had a whisky flight, and our friends had some cocktails as well. Everyone enjoyed their drinks. This is just a great place for great conversation and great cocktails. read more

Cool place to grab a drink, my friend was really into wine and enjoyed the options here. They also had tasty cocktails and good snacks to go along with the experience. The decor is very vintage and definitely a different vibe from the rest of the hill. This spot is a great place to have a one on one conversation. read more

This is our neighborhood bar. We've been coming here since it's been open. Everything from the decor, drinks, and the owners are great! We especially enjoy drinking outside on their patio. It's not too loud so you can definitely come here with a group and catch up without feeling like you're screaming over everyone read more

What an awesome environment and cool people to go with it! Encourages conversation. I started with wine but was enticed by the cocktail menu and absolutely enjoyed my triple brie platter! read more

Loved this place! The wine was ok but it was the ambiance that really made it for us. Loved how chill and cozy it was. Husband had a cool cocktail and I had some rose. We will for sure be back! read more

Loved my experience at the Belmont Lounge! It is SO rare to find a bar that makes great drink, has awesome, comfy seating, can accomodate a group easily via reservation in an atmosphere where we can speak, has killer vibes and music and where the small plates menu/happy hour menu is excellent. Worry no more, you've stumbled upon The Belmont Lounge in Capitol Hill! I was very happy with the house wine and my party shared a few apps including the burrata and the meatballs, all fantastic. What a find! read more

Cool space that feels like a cocktail lounge yet also has games to play while you hang. Lots of different types of seating options: round couches, dining tables, love seats, 2 tops, etc. Tasty drinks and friendly staff. This replaced a wine bar that I used to always pass but never go in. This seems great for 1-2 people but also could be fun for a big group if they have space. read more

This bar definitely has a speakeasy vibe and a cozy feel. Located on Capitol Hill, this place is a happening spot. We sat at the bar and were helped by Claire. She made us strong drinks and suggested a variety of cocktails...I suggest you ask her to make you a specialty cocktail. You won't be disappointed! read more

I don't know how to start this review.... a very small place to have drinks and have an amazing time and delicious cocktails. I visited with my husband and we spent 3 hours at this place. Great customer service, atmosphere , drinks and best of all great conversations. read more

Excellent cocktail menu, atmosphere is great for intimate conversations, and it's a place you want to spend a lot of time at. Bartender is really friendly and can make a solid old fahsion. read more

The Belmont is the quintessential cocktail lounge of Capital Hill. Owners, Mark and Carmen Brown put a great deal of their care and attention to ensure both the product and service are impeccable. Having been a customer since their original inception as Revolution Wine, I continue to marvel at their creativity and innovation. Their hallmark frosè is now coupled with craft cocktails and amazing small plates that are tasty and extraordinary. One of my favorite dishes at The Belmont is the prosciutto, fig, and gruyere panini. They've also added delicious deviled eggs and sumptuous meatballs - all home made! Seating is plentiful and a great experience. Enjoy a sidewalk table and people watch or get cozy on comfortable couches and stylish chairs inside. This is the perfect place to start, end, or enjoy an evening of frivolity. The Belmont is the bomb!! read more

Sophisticated but warm and inviting atmosphere. Spectacular drinks and appetizers (the truffle popcorn is a must try). Friendly and prompt service. Mark and Carmen were dazzling, gracious hosts. will definitely be visiting again! read more

I came here with my brother from out of town and the service was absolutely horrible. I am hardly able to get out of the house because I have a newborn so time wasted on waiting for 2 drinks to come out was really frustrating - we waited about 25 minutes for our drinks and mine was just a glass of wine. Concerned about being ignored and wasting more time, I asked for the check early and she gave me the wrong check THREE times! And she even ran my card on the 3rd check which wasn't ours and it needed to be voided - she said it would clear when the bar closes but I have to wait and see with my credit card statements. I didn't want to tip anything but my brother said that would be wrong... I am still so pissed because it ruined what was supposed to be an enjoyable drink out, which I ended up leaving behind. Bottom line: Always check your receipt if you decide to come into Belmont - the lighting is dark and they will give you someone else's bill. read more

Friendly servers and tasty drinks. Small hints of Gatsby vibes. Would recommend for a casual night of cocktails and conversation!

Stopped in here a few weekends back for a drink with my girlfriend. Great little cocktail bar with a cozy atmosphere. Would recommend.

Such a great spot to chill out and have a drink! The atmosphere is amazing and the drinks and charcuterie we ordered were so good! Will be back for sure... they even have a happy hour! read more

Great service, friendly staff, chill atmosphere. Great spot to end the night. I ordered an off-menu drink (Corpse Reviver #2) that a lot of places don't know. Belmont knew it, and did it perfectly. Also got the El Jefe which was phenomenal. read more

We loved The Belmont! We were in the Cap Hill and noticed the Belmont's sign saying happy hour 5-7. It was nice to see a happy hour on Saturday, so we thought we would just enjoy a cocktail and a glass of wine before heading home. The cocktails were well crafted and there wine selection by the glass includes Reds, Whites, Rosés and bubbly from all over the world. They also had 50+ wines by the bottle that you could purchase out on display. The fiancé got a glass of wine and I had the 212 Manhattan, both were so good we decided to have another and ordered food. We ordered meatballs and the truffle popcorn. When the server delivered the meatballs, she said the owner makes them in-house daily! WOW the quality shows! The service was spot on. We are definitely stopping by again next time we are in Cap Hill. read more

Service needs work, if you sit outside. Cocktails are excellent and a great selection.

We booked ahead for a group of 8 women. We ordered cocktails and some bubblies. Not only was the staff rude to us for calling it bubbly not sparkling wine, but the service was slow, the food was mediocre--basically cheese plates that they called tapas. A super pretentious staff with nothing new to offer to the Seattle bar scene. read more

We ran into this place walking on Capitol Hill and we had never been. It was a Saturday Night, so usually everything is busy around 10 but there was a big couch open so we gave it a try. We where greeted by the the host who was so nice and accommodating, pulled out a few chairs and managed to sit our group of 7 together! We had an amazing time. Service was great! I cannot stress that out enough. We tried several cocktails and recommendation by the staff which where on point. There are little snacks to nibble on and went great with our drinks. Music was at a perfect volume, for those of us getting "older" you want some background music but just enough so that you can hold a conversation without having a sore throat the next day. I'm not saying this is a place is quiet or boring, on the contrary, the ambiance and clientele where just as cool as the place itself. I would be visiting the Belmont Lounge again, as it left an amazing first impression in me and all of our friends. We where here from around 9:30 to 1:00 and never did we feel pressured or anything, on the contrary the crew kept on checking on us, helped us select great drinks and have a fun night. read more

Mark and Carmen have done it again! Killer cocktails, vibe, friendly service ... with an edge. Love the new decor and extra seating, updated and fresh food selections, live music and whimsical cocktails. Best bar/lounge on Capital Hill - bar none. This place is about to become my personal living room! read more

A very pleasant place. Nice ambiance, good music, reasonably priced, tasty tapas. Cozy leather couches. A great choice for a relaxing drink and light fare. read more
