One of our favorites! Great bar and good food; small-ish menu but you can see how that helps with consistency. The tostones are a favorite appetizer as well as the brussel sprouts. We've also enjoyed the risottos, pastas and the sandwiches. We have yet to have anything we didn't like and everything is prepared well. Service is friendly and fast; it's small but has a great over 21 vibe. read more

Amazing food and service. Fun place. Drink menu is way too long but has a lot of variety. I loved the pasta, the fish, and the oysters. One of my favorite restaurants in Seattle! read more

Full Bottle , no Bull ! came for a celebratory dinner and tried a lot of things from both the drinks and food menu . Service - Good , attentive and fast Ambiance - moody , dark and apt for both a hangout with friends as well as an intimate dinner. The music was just a tad bit loud but it also was a Saturday evening which I understand pretty much calls for loud music. We all had multiple rounds of cocktails and pretty much made our way through the entire cocktail list. For Food we ordered: * Cheese Plate * Albondigas * Moroccan Chicken * Crab & Wild Prawn Risotto * Mushroom Pasta * Duck The food tasted fantastic. We ended the night with the server's recommendation of the rum cake, which was just average. Overall: Definitely recommend for a great evening with fun cocktails and great food. read more

A small restaurant which only has 15 tables is quite a find. Located near the lake, parking is quite challenging. The moral of the story is leave early for your reservation. And now for the food. It was wonderful. We started with the chèvre tartin. It was creamy and a good balance of sweet and savory. My entree was the duck breast. I didn't particularly like the red sauce on the plate, but the duck was wonderful and the polenta was very tasty. My husband had the risotto with shrimp. The only downside was that the tails were still on the shrimp. We shared the strawberry-passionfruit sorbet. It was creamy, but not too sweet and had an amazing flavor. When in Kirkland, this is definitely a place to try. The flavors are unique and shouldn't be missed. read more

Visited on a weekday night for my birthday and they definitely made me feel special! The drinks were great, it reminded us of my husband's favorite lounge bar. This hit the mark. The mixologist can also change the drinks around or make any requests. Favorite of the drink for me was Milk of the Poppy. It was such a smooth and creamy drink! Husband's favorite was the Dot Dot Dot. Best note to say was it was interesting! Ambiance is dimly lit and its not overly loud. It is a perfect lounge to just hangout and drink. Our waitress was busy as the place was packed, but she tended to us and ensured we were doing alright or if we needed more drinks. When asked what we were doing, said I was doing a little birthday celebration, and they decided to give me a coconut vanilla ice cream scoop with a lighted candle. What a flavor and it was on the house! Thank you Bottle & Bull! read more

Bottle & Bull - Milk of the Poppy - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Kirkland, Washington

On a little bar hop evening through downtown, we made our way to Bottle and Bull. Luckily, although we didn't have a reservation, it was early enough they could fit us in. Windows were open, bringing in a nice breeze. We ended up ordering the curry clams and fries. The clams were cooked well although the curry choice surprised us. The truffle fries came with a delicious garlic aoli. We started with the Boise in the Hood and the Penicillin. The penicillin has a Laphroigh spray which I didn't like because I'm not a big Laphroigh fan, but the person I was with loved it. Even though it was still early evening, it felt intimate and cozy inside. Restrooms are large and well stocked, and service was great. Finished with a 3rd Marriage, which came in an additional bottle. Will definitely go back again. read more

Glad we found this spot and we also celebrated my husbands bday there. First off I loved that right off the bat they told us that dessert was on them bc of the bday. Food was delish. Drinks were delish. Granted I got a glass of wine but loved their options! It was a great experience and the ambiance was very nice. I got the mushroom pasta and husband got the burger. We both left very happy! Great time here. read more

Excellent. Presentation was well done. Food tasted great. Staff was really nice. Everytime you got a drink they said, "cheers!" Only complaint was the food wasn't all hot. The Brussel sprouts app was lukewarm to warm. Off all dishes that could have been hotter. The mussels were warm along with broth. The fries were the hottest food. While everything was warm, I like mine to start hot and cool to warm on the table. I didn't have to blow on anything to cool it down. The flavors were great. I get why the mushroom pasta is popular. The porcini were very "meaty" and the pasta was cooked perfectly. The bread that was served with the mussels was perfect. Dipped that in the cream broth, which had lentils. First time seeing that on a broth. The steak was cooked perfectly. I wasn't fond of the sauce on the steak. Perfectly cooked fries. Food was seasoned well. The table didn't have salt and pepper. Not sure if purposefully done but it wasn't needed. Great experience! read more

This restaurant is fantastic! We randomly wandered in last night and were able to sit at the bar without making reservations. I ordered a green Isaac, and my husband got a whiskey drink I can't remember the name of. The drinks were unique and delicious! We ordered the almonds, smoked beet salad, lamb sliders, and the beef tartar. Everything was absolutely fantastic. The star of the show was the tartar, we couldn't believe how good it was. For dessert, we had the pillow mint drinks. They were fantastic as well, like a drink version of an Andes mint! The staff is down to earth and friendly, and the atmosphere is a nice mixture of western, cozy, and dark academia. We will absolutely be coming back. We woke up this morning talking about the tartar. This is a must try! read more

God dam if you ever wanted to find a speakeasy without all the extra bullshit that comes with finding one come to bottle & bull. Place has a 90s jazz vibes where I'm not surprised if someone were to bust out a cigar. It's giving great gatsby energy. Stands outs are def the appetizers and the drinks. Def get the Brussel sprouts, mussels, and the green Isaac special. If you order this with your date don't be surprised if they ask you to come over after dinner. The entrees were all right but the desserts were more memorable than my first kiss. Date night approved says the gf but def a bit of a spender. read more

Stellar food- the presentation was sooo beautiful. Great drinks and vibe. Stand outs for me was definitely the mushroom pasta and the Katie Marie citrus cocktail. 21+ only, so not a kid friendly establishment which means perfect for girls night or mom and dad's night out! read more

Kinda sexy little candlelit joint in the quaint part of Kirkland. It's got great high back wooden booths for privacy and great for groups of 4. This is a double date kinda place! I had an absolutely WONDERFUL experience. Our waitress was unassuming, a little shy at first, but unobtrusive and her recommendations were the bomb! The bartender knows how to make a perfect martini --- dirty & dry with fancy blue cheese olives if you ask! Fantastic service with the perfect amount of attention. We were loud -- but only a few people there between 4pm and 5. By 6pm the place was filled! It was a Thursday night. THE FOOD was exceptional. Oysters were magical. So fresh, and cold and delicious, you didn't even want to dip them in the vinaigrette! Pro tip... go for happy hour and order a small lamb burger off the HH menu! It was delish! I will be back.... I loved this place. read more

Had lots of beers (draft beer as well) They serve beer in euther 16 or large 32 oz glasses. Got their Mediterranean platter which was great. Since this item took a long time to serve, the server did not charge for this item at all Their IPA was okay. Nice place to hangout. Great atmosphere. read more

B&B is one of our favorite local restaurant and bar. Very casual, fun vibe, super friendly staff, and an impressively stocked bar. They offer a nice variety of fun and inventive cocktails. They have a scratch kitchen that makes everything from small plates to salad to full entrees. We often stopped in for late dinner and their lamb sliders are so good. Today we tried their steak frites. Fries were so good, and steak is perfectly cooked, super tender, and flavorful topped with a chimichurri. Located in downtown Kirkland, steps from waterfront and beaches, their food is great and surprisingly reasonably priced. If you haven't been here, put it on your list to try! read more

I've been here now about three times, and I must say that this past experience left me motivated to write a review. Bottle and bowl is a cozy, warm atmosphere with a good menu, even better, staff, and pretty decent drinks. I think Kirkland is a great spot for a place like this, as they stay open late, and are a tasteful and classy vibe. I have to highly recommend the octopus on the menu, as well as the beach salad! Both 4.5 stars! I would say the drinks are dependent on who is making the drinks, I know we had a super personable bar manager named Cody, and that was really nice to interact with him and also learn a little bit about his flare on drinks. I would say that not everything on the menu is exceptional, but everything is at least tasty/good. Every every single time I have come here, it's been later in the night, and finding parking is never an issue. But be advised, if you were to go during the day, it might be a little bit busy. read more

Bottle & Bull is located in downtown Kirkland area near the waterfront. We made a reservation for 6:30pm on a Monday night and were seated right away for a party of five. I ordered the burger ($22) which was decent although I thought the burger patty could've used a little more seasoning. For drinks I ordered the boise in the hood ($17) and the broke in bimini ($17). Both were good although I liked the former more; it was spirit-forward with a hint of sweetness. I also tried a sip of the bourbon au poivre which was similar but not as sweet. The ambiance was good and the bar area has a really cool design. This place is good for a date night in a dimly-lit environment. read more

A warm and cozy vibe in this restaurant. Our server was attentive. We both ordered bourbon cocktails, which were excellent and well-balanced. I mostly eat fish and vegetarian. There were a couple of vegetarian options, but both were pasta, which didn't appeal to me. I had looked at the menu on Open Table before we went and was excited about the halibut but it wasn't on the menu. I ordered the prawn and crab risotto, which was good, but not great. My husband ordered the steak frites, which he reported were divine. The French fries were fantastic! read more

My sister and brother in law live walking distance and have always talked about how much they love this place. We made a reservation for a Saturday at 7:30 and were seated in a booth. The restaurant was completely full so I assume having a reservation is highly recommended. The restaurant is dimly lit with a great menu and an ever better cocktail and spirit list. We started with cocktails - the hibiscus sour, enjoy the vieux, boise in the hood, and another gin cocktail. They all felt like the bartender had taken a great amount of time putting them together. We opted to share appetizers - the smoked beat salad, the kale caesar, and the octopus. The servings were a great portion size to share amongst 4 people. We followed that with the crab and shrimp risotto, the burger, and the vegetable campanelle. My sister in law is dairy free and they were easily able to make her pasta vegan. Again, amazing portion sizes. I can absolutely see why they love going there and I'm looking forward to going back the next time I'm in Kirkland. read more

Solid place for a date or special occasion! The vibe is moody, dark, and intimate. The drinks are really tasty and I enjoyed my mushroom pasta (probably the most out of the table's food). The food is expensive, so I wouldn't come here all the time, but I would definitely stop in for a cocktail if I'm around the area (which I think is more their speciality over the food). My favorite cocktail was the Robert Jordan (fruity gin drink without being too sweet). Staff were all attentive - great experience all around! Parking is wherever you can find/pay read more

Loving the new menu!! Compliments to the chef. The food was so good. We were a party of 4 on a Thursday night and the place was packed. Definitely consider making reservations online ahead of time so you won't be disappointed. We ordered two salads (apple and fig minus the gorgonzola and the beet salad), the fig and cream appetizer (not sure what it was called on the menu), and Parmesan truffle fries to share. Our favorite dishes were the beet salad (such a creative plate) and the fig appetizer. Good vibes, good service! Check this place out if you haven't already! read more

3.5 Stars The staff mentioned the menu was inspired by Ernest Hemmingway (?) - consists of entrees and small plates / bites and a lengthy cocktail mix. Beautiful, sophisticated, sleek interior. We ordered a bunch of cocktails and the following dishes which were hit and miss: Speck-wrapped Dates ($2.75 each) - These were really tiny and disappointing Half Dozen Oysters ($22) - Good Moroccan Mussels ($26) - also nice, strong on the saffron Mushroom Pasta ($25, +$13 with Chicken) - Rich, delicious, salty. Chicken was perfectly cooked Steak Tartare ($22) - Solid Everything was beautiful plates and the staff was polite and kind. read more

My husband and I had a great Sunday dinner at Bottle & Bull! We decided on it on very short notice, but we were able to reserve a table for 2 just a couple hours before. Inside the restaurant is dark and cozy. They have plenty of room for big groups and smaller tables for two. The staff were very friendly and attentive throughout our time there. To start two of the bacon wrapped dates, the Brussels sprouts with bacon foam, and corn chowder. The dates were pretty underwhelming and small based on the cost ($2.75 a piece). However the corn chowder and sprouts were amazing! The corn chowder was creamy and warmed us right up. And the sprouts were charred to perfection while the foam was a cool new experience. Definitely elevated the dish! For our mains I ordered the crab and wild prawn risotto, while my husband got the steak frites. My risotto was perfect and the seafood was a nice balance. The steak was cooked medium as requested, but the peppercorn sauce on top was a little too much. The steak should be allowed to shine on its own. Maybe they should consider including the sauce on the side? Total with a couple of drinks and tip was $140. Overall it was a great experience and we can wait to visit again! read more

I have been to Bottle & Bull no less than 25 times - not sure how I haven't reviewed yet! If you love real cocktails, we'll balanced and crafted by experts, come here. They have nice variety of spirit forward whiskey drinks, as well as lighter and fruitier for those so inclined. The food menu isn't long, but everything is fantastic. My faves: Frites, Brussels Sprouts, lamb meatballs, Lamb Ragu, Steak Frites! read more

Solid cocktail list backed up by excellent food. Comfortable decor and good service In the heart of Kirkland.

This place is located DT Kirkland. We had reservations and were asked to wait at the bar as our table was not ready. Which was fine. This place is small and feels like everyone is cramped in. We got to our table which still needed a good clean. Our server took care of it right away. Food menu is decent, but not many options to choose from. Got the mushroom pasta which was good but wasn't wow. We took our bottle of wines with a corking fee of $25. Sliders are good and the cheese plate did not disappoint. Great Service was the only thing that stood out at this restaurant. read more

Came here for some drinks and small plates after walking around the Kirkland area! For small plates, we got the steak tartare and cheese plate. The steak tartare is packed full of flavor and has a nice flare to it. I enjoyed the figs and jam that came with the cheese plate. I liked having a stone instead of crackers served with it. The drinks were solid but a bit expensive and not too strong. Would come back here to try more of their dishes! read more

You enter through the front entrance which is covered with large curtains. It was a warm day so the large windows were opened. Greet cocktail selections. We shared a few of the appetizers/entrees. Favorite appetizer was the lamb meatballs and entree was the mushroom pasta. The branzino was actually a filet so you didn't have to worry about the bones. Only item we were a bit disappointed with was the chicken as it was very dry. read more

Ok I was definitely not expecting the food here to be as great as it was! Really hadn't ever come in here expecting it to be more of your typical bar, but as a foodie first, you will get a no compromise dining experience here! Hubby and I decided just to order a number of plates from the menu and just split everything tasting menu style, and that was the way to go! We got to try so many things, all of them winners but my favorite was the gnocchi which had an atypical texture that really made it stand out! Highly recommend taking this tasting menu approach! We went make two weeks later with two other people and did the same thing and woop woop, even more dishes to try. Food is great, enjoyed the cocktails but it is a busier setting as it's a popular place! read more

Staff was rude despite their own mistake. Walked in and the sign said to seat yourself. So I sat at an open table. Then I was approached by someone asking rudely if I had a reservation. I told her no, I sat there because that's what the sign said to do. Instead of apologizing she acted like it was my fault and didn't even apologize for the error. I heard her telling the manager that the issue was that the sign was turned the wrong way. He also didn't bother to apologize. I don't expect them to make room for me in that instance when they are already booked with reservations, but there was plenty of opportunity for them to handle it better. read more

Came here the other night for dinner before going on the Christmas ships. We were seated right away (had a reservation), and some guy came and asked for our drinks and said our waiter would be right with us. We never had a wait the whole night LOL he ended up taking our order after we sat waiting for a waiter for quite awhile. We noticed the portions were very small for the price. While the Brussel sprouts were absolutely delicious, you literally only get 5 for $14. That's like almost $3 a Brussel sprout. I got the browser pork cheeks and while it was cooked perfectly, it had 0 flavor! Cooked to perfection, falls off the bone but tasted like nothing. It was disappointing. $185 layer after tax & tip i feel like we wasted money going here. read more

Discovered this place during Seattle Restaurant Week. Seattle Restaurant Week review: Was intrigued about their menu (drinks and food) so decided to check this place out. A small place in downtown Kirkland. 21 and over only. The place can get loud. Some of the tables did t have good lighting, like the high table we got during Seattle Restaurant Week. Had to use phone light to read the menu. Ended up just looking at their menu online. 3 course meal for $50: Appetizer - Burrata - Compressed apple, arugula, pork belly, cider reduction, candied pecans. For additional cost, I tried their suggested pairing - Bramley cocktail $14. The Burrata was delicious as well as the cocktail! Entrée - Bucatini - Manila clams, seaweed pasta, chorizo, tomato cream, lime crema. This was a hit as well. Dish was very flavorful! Dessert - Bourbon Pot De Creme - yummy! Hubby decided to choose from regular menu: Appetizer - Cream of mushroom soup (can't remember exact name). It was very good! They don't have this on the menu at the moment but hoping it'll come back in the Fall. Entrée- Lamb sliders - Smoked tomato, pickled shallots, lettuce, tzatziki, chèvre Served with truffle pomme frittes $20. If you like lamb, you'd like this dish! And the fries are crunchy and tasty! The pics turned out dark. Definitely coming back and bringing friends! read more
