Went back this December for another oyster and bubbles pop up event after getting an email that they were hosting another event like the one we went to in the fall of 2024. We didn't experience any of the hiccups we experienced last year and very much enjoyed the wine and food and ambience. They offered tastes of five different sparkling from France, Spain, Italy and Germany. The flavors and degree of bubbles varied and were all very enjoyable in different ways. The woman at the tasting station was great--she provided short but informative tales of each of the wines (a little about the grapes, the vineyard, fun facts about the wineries, etc). We bought three different bottles of some of the wines we tasted which were reasonably priced ($28-$40 per bottle). My husband loved the oysters and ordered an additional 6 of the wildcats. I had the mushroom toast which had great meaty and earthy flavor. I also tried the spruce tip ice cream which was pine-y and unique and very creative (covered in quinoa crispies!). Service was friendly and speedy. My husband and I love Bottlehouse and recommend for anyone looking for unique wines and creative comfort foods in a cozy environment read more

I swear I have the most jekyl and Hyde experience here. I'm a regular for the past 3 years, sometimes I come and the really nice waitress is there who is so knowledgeable about French wine, cider and champagne. Last time the owner himself was there talking to us and he was amazing. But sometimes I come in and there is different staff that is so mean. This time I drove all the way from Queen Anne, and the lady looked at us (we are younger) and rolled her eyes and put us in the worst seat imaginable and asked if we had reservations. Then another older couple came in after with no reservations two minutes later and she graciously escorted them to the main room. Kinda an L because we are regulars and big spenders here. I got up and left. read more

Really friendly owners and amazing drinks and food. The service is on European standards so expect to spend a lot of time enjoying your company rather than being waited on. First time in, but I'll definitely be back with friends. It's such a chill spot with indoor and outdoor garden seating read more

My wife and I stopped in here yesterday for a rainy Sunday happy hour. The atmosphere was really nice. It's a cute converted house and the space has a cozy feel. Service was good. The wine selection was diverse. The happy hour isn't a very good deal. Just a dollar off a 14 or more glass of wine. Overall worth a stop. read more

I don't look forward to leaving negative reviews but I felt strongly about this experience that it would be a disservice if I didn't address it. *Spoiler alert: long story/rant ahead. When I went for my first time. It was on a hot day this past June. Me and my partner thought we'd go and treat ourselves to a nice outing. Since I've always wanted to try this place due to hearing a bunch of good things from some colleagues. We set our eyes on a late lunch/ early dinner at Bottle House. Came in optimistic especially after being seated right away in their outdoor patio section. We were off to a great start, until it turned into a lot of waiting. We gave the benefit of the doubt assuming they were just busy. It wasn't until we saw a few groups that got seated after us get their order taken before us that we decided to flag someone down. Once we did, we were told to wait a few more moments because another group had to be checked on before we could get our orders taken. Surprisingly we were still in good spirits. We ordered our drinks, as well as our food so we could be set. Then afterwards our drinks came. This is where my experience spiraled down. I picked up my wine glass filled with this Bordeaux wine that I was excited to try. Pressed the rim against my lip and took my sip. It hit me like a hot flash. The temperature of this wine was warmer than warm. It also wasn't just my wine but my partners's as well. So we managed to get a servers attention, voiced our concern and asked if we could order a different drink. I decided to go with a cocktail and my partner decided to order the Chardonnay. When they dropped off our new drinks, they happened to be the wrong drinks. What had happened was they were a different tables drinks and when we flagged the same server down. they already seemed annoyed that we were gonna address a discrepancy. We eventually got the right drinks then our food. At that point we just wanted to drink our drinks and finish our food. I enjoyed the food flavor wise, but I wasn't satisfied with the amount of food for the price I paid. If it was one of the better things I ate in my life I would be happy with paying however much for the amount of food I got. Sadly that wasn't the case. White wine was chilled so it was good and I liked the Chardonnay. The old fashion wasn't akin to a typical old fashion. It was more like a boulevardier, not as whiskey forward, but more alcoholic. Not my favorite old fashion All in all this review was geared towards service, and quality of the drinks. Especially if you're supposed to be known for the variety of wines you serve. I would hope you can serve them at a decent temperature. Based off this experience alone, I wouldn't personally suggest them if someone was looking for a recommendation. read more

Excellent, PNW vibes wine bar in the Madrona neighborhood. Far away and fairly inaccessible from the city, this evokes a charm of a nice, relaxing getaway from the hustle and bustle of Seattle. We made reservations at 3pm but it is not really needed as we were mostly the only ones there during our stay. We took advantage of the happy hour where we got the charcuterie and cheese boards ($16 each) and some wines such as the Ovum Big Salt Orange and Can Sumoi Xarello white and mulled wine cocktail. The charcuterie board and cheese boards were okay priced, a bit small but the quality is very high. You don't really get most of these meats and cheeses in a typical charcuterie arrangement so it is more a culinary journey paired with excellent wines. The orange wine had a bit of natural saltiness and the white wine smelled like Welch's grape juice but has a strong finish. The wines we got definitely stood out and well worth the price tag (during happy hour, the wine glasses are $2 off!). Service is decent - you just need to flag down a server to full requests quickly. I would recommend this place as an above average wine bar with a nice food and wine selection. read more

This was my second time here in awhile and I left feeling unsatisfied. Unfortunately as a wine bar, they didn't meet my personal wine bar expectations. Service: got seated pretty quickly outside on their patio, but it took a long time for someone to come and even acknowledge us. I saw staff passing by and not even looking at us to acknowledge or let us know they'd be over. So we had to flag someone down to take our order and they said they had to check on another party and they'd be back. So lots of waiting Wine: as a wine bar, I'd expect good wine and wine served well. My partner and I both ordered a glass of red wine and both of our wines came out hot. Like temperature hot. Like above room temp, temp. It was... Not good. Sent it back because red wine should not be warmed (even on a warm Seattle day). Ordered white wine instead and it came out chilled and tasted much better. So if you're going to order wine, order a chilled one. Food: food was pretty tasty, pea toast was the most memorable. Overpriced, but at least it tasted good. Overall, I don't think I'll be back. If I'm going to spend close to $100 on a date night, I'm going to prefer a solid experience. read more

Super charming wine bar located in the heart of Madrona in a very cute old house. The seating options are diverse - outside on the patio, back garden, indoor area, bar, or perch yourself on the front porch to watch the world go by. They have such a beautiful space with a comfy homey feel, and a thoughtful, well-curated wine list. It was so much fun sitting out in their little garden patio with a glass of sparkling rosé, which was delicious. I also tried their orange wines and a glass of their frosé. Service here was great! Megan was extremely helpful and lovely. She attended to the entire patio and garden with ease, suggesting different wines everyone would like based on their personal tastes, and made the whole experience feel special. Loved the seasonal burrata, and the house mac 'n' cheese is ultimate comfort food. I highly recommend this place - ask for Megan! It's such a nice neighborhood spot and great choice if you love wine. read more

Was walking by and noticed their sign, so I decided to stop by. The host was lovely and had great recommendations on wine and the bread board with sea salt, butter, and honey was a perfect afternoon snack! read more

Great quality wine and speciality cocktails. The hosts are very knowledgeable about the wine and shared their wisdom with us while we tried some wine flights. Hard to get into with long wait times and limited seatings (no AC) but the outdoor seating is very pretty and comfortable. The small shareable items are good for even a large group. Tried the burrata with extra bread, mac and cheese and Aperol Spritz! read more

Just a cute charming little wine bar with some outdoor space tucked in the heart of Madrona. Keep on coming back here because of the vibe and feel here. Had some food here only a couple times, but mostly come for the ambiance and how cool the little patio area is. read more

service was pretty poor :( we had booked a reservation for 3, they had it down for 2, had to sit us at a high top and didn't offer to fix the issue. the hostess/waitress was just not very kind and didn't offer us a resolution - just said, "we only have these tables available ..." so our party of 3 crowded at a high top, when my friend asked for a cocktail she was rudely corrected and said they only served wine even tho they had a cocktail menu (wine based cocktails, but could have been a kind education moment) - good was good, not extraordinary, and ultimately when there are so many good options in the city where service is kin and attentive, it's just not worth going back. also there tax and surcharge fees? it's tough ordering food not knowing how much it will cost in the end. a warning somewhere would be nice, or, just put that shit in your prices! read more

There are so many places in Seattle where you can get a good glass of wine from friendly staff. This is not one of them. Spend your dollars elsewhere, friends. The hostess and our server both had attitudes and were rude through several points of the evening. We should have walked after our first interaction with the hostess, but we decided to stay for a drink. Overall, It just wasn't a pleasant experience here and we won't be back. read more

This was my second time going to Bottlehouse, and I am leaving with mixed feelings. My first visit was incredible and my second was disappointing. Pros: Amazing wine selection. My best friend is a sommelier on the east coast and I can find 80% of his wine recommendations at Bottlehouse. Their Rezabal Txakoli and Guancia Bianca were delightful and I would have tried their orange wine if I had another pour in me. Cons: The happy hour food seems tempting but you can't get by on just one selection. The biggest reason being they give you 3 crackers to eat the entire cheese board with or omit them on the charcuterie. You end up buying all of the appetizers to make one board. Additionally, you have to be very agressive to get any type of service attention. We sat for over 15 minutes until our order was taken, and 30 until we got our first drink. All in all, I would love to try it again with a spot on the patio and a nice waiter with reasonable expectations for the carbs. read more

Bottlehouse - cheese board, snack trio, and charcuterie board - Wine Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I love coming here for a drink and small bites. The drink and wine selection are great. I always go for the frozen special on the menu which always taste delicious. The best time to go is right when they open if you don't want to wait long or if you do not mind waiting, go in the evening on a nice day when you can sit out on the patio. Either way, I love being able to eat outside. The food menu isn't large and there is a variety of either small bites or entrees. If you get an entree the portion is a good size that you won't over eat. If you get a shareable item they are a tad small and you likely need more than one to be considered full. Overall a nice wine bar with an aesthetic you would find in wine country. read more

There's a 5% surcharge on everything in the menu, but you wouldn't know it unless you read the fine print at the bottom of the menu. This is dishonest because they could have just increased the price on every item by 5% but this is more subtle and easily missed. Boo. read more

One of the cutest outdoor patio areas! Staff was so helpful with walking us through wine options - we loved the Gruner, Gamay, and Synergy with the $2 off happy hour prices. The Mac and cheese was so rich and creamy (though could've had a larger portion) with the truffle oil not being overpowering at all. read more

This was one the cutest most quaint places I've ever been to and it fit my vibe perfectly. I'm from CA but was visiting WA so me and my boyfriend decided to give it a shot and I'm SO glad we did. It's an old house that has been converted into a wine bar and they sell natural wine primarily. They also sell small plates of food. We ended up going with the Mac and Cheese and baguette with honey and they were both so delicious. Our waiter was super knowledgeable and checked on us often. If you're in the area I would highly recommend this place. Even if you don't like wine, you should stop for tapas and good vibes. read more

Went on business. Nestled in the neighborhood, this house-based venue has lots of ambience for indoor and outdoor seating. Order the charcuterie and the cheeseboard. Tried my first red from Lebanon and loved it. They have delicious dessert truffles and there's no reason not to try each of the flavors. Their pickled eggs turned out to be a wonderful surprise. See photo below. Easy place to take a guest and impress. Service was good. Free street parking but it's sometimes difficult to find in the evenings. read more

Came here yesterday for happy hour with a girlfriend. They have a delicious frozé that is part of the happy hour deal and exactly what we wanted on the beautiful sunny day. There were plenty of seats available indoors at the prime HH of 5pm. If you opted for outside, they had high tops and a communal table where ladies were celebrating a birthday. The service was great, attentive but still gave us time to catch up. We didn't order food but I smelt the Mac & cheese from across the room! read more

Sooo let's just say this, they got everything right! Everything from the seating, happy hour, wine, drinks, platters, entertainment and dog friendly, just amazing! Desserts MIGHT need more help, but I was blown away tonight! We got there 3 mins until HH (happy Hour) was over and I got some deviled eggs, the cheese platter, and two glasses of wine! Yes and yessss! Eggs - killed it! The wine I got was an orange wine, it's a whole experience I'll say nonetheless. The waitress told me alll about it - just get it and try it! Its ON the menu!!! The cheese platter was great, it was 3 cheeses and their homemade crackers - can we get some of those to take home, wow!!! I sat down waiting for my friend and met some neighbors, which was nice! We talked about being a food blogger, but that lead to finding out more about the neighborhood! We bonded over their wines and mine - it was great! The evening was ideal for outdoor seating in the "greenhouse" and you guessed it, we got to experience it! Epic. We then drank one more glass when my friend came, this was a white wine the waitress said would pair great after the orange, ummm it did!! I downed that, no problem!! Now to the main coarse....we ordered the Mac and cheese you guys....) veggies with potatoes - STOP!!! And then we got the clams and oysters, which I'm not a fan off, but slurped these babies down - Nooo problem! Just perfectly cooked and we even ordered some bread - it was burnt but when you dipped it, wow!! Then it was rose or red time, I choose a red Tempranillo blend off the Spanish section of wines - another hit!!! Then got some wine from their wine store when you walk in (its massive) and they also (plug) have plants!!!! YOU guys the price points, wow! So we got a few plants!!! See, I know I do not need more plants but the price point was screaming at me "BUY me now", so I couldn't leave the plant there! 6 bottles later and one plant - was there a wine club, forgot to ask, but I would of signed up!!! Cant take me anywhere with asking about a wine club! We overall had a great time, then it was time for coffee, I'm Spanish, duh!!! Its turn up time! We ordered this delicious item but it sold out, so we got the chocolate and shortcake things - not impressed at all! The chocolate was Ok, but it's my birthday I wanted more! Its OK! This place, our server, the food, the house and just overall vibe was fire! Wait for the tik tok it's going to be great!!!! Got some great content!!! No reservations but your fine just show up, eat some food, drink wine - probably Uber! I had a good old time! Enjoy. read more

Came here on a girl date! Cutest spot ever, and the boards have the most beautiful plating! The items are snacky type items and paninis. They have a wide variety of drink choices - ranging from bubbly, wine, ciders, beers, etc. We had: -5 oz meat & cheese charcuterie board ($34) -Seasonal aioli Board ($10) -Various Flights and Glasses of Bubbly It's pricey (it was $100+ for us two) but a lovely experience.

Food and drink was fine, not exceptional. Service was extremely rude and honestly ruined the experience, the server maybe said 5 words to us through the course of a 2hr dinner.

8/10: very cute!!! come for the ~vibes~ FOOD we got a savory sort of bread & butter. pretty interesting, didn't particularly love the chocolate ganache on bread (but that might just be me). DRINKS enjoyed my orange wine! (but tbh i'm not picky about my wine...) AMBIANCE i think this is definitely what sells this place... the inside is super super cozy and warm and there are plants all around the place. the patio is likewise decked out with a bunch of lights. i liked that it was super busy (and had always seemed busy when i pass by). read more

If you're a picky person, you won't be happy... -The music was too loud, and kinda out of character (classy setting but club themed music). -The waiter split the bill into two vs giving me my own tab so beware of that. -The food is overpriced - but that's seemingly the "welcome to Seattle, give me your money" mentality. -Decent selections. read more

Absolutely amazing place to go for all occasions! The ambiance, music, the best hosts in Seattle :) and of course selection of food and wine are great. I love that they have a very cute small shop of wines you can purchase as soon as you walk in. As you continue to walk inside, you're greeted by the indoor seating area that maintain the original residency structure of the house. My favorite part is the patio area, especially during the golden hour! We ordered the mussel & clam, salami sandwich and mac & cheese. Their mac & cheese was one of the best mac & cheese i have ever had! Must try. read more

I was reallly excited to have our date night here on Saturday but service just fell incredibly short. For context, I've been here many times in the past and have loved everything about this bar (decor, the vibe, wine, food, etc). soo much, that I've been telling my friends we should have our next HH here. From the moment we got sat.. it took 10-15 minutes for our server to acknowledge us. We sat there thinking are we even going to make it in time for HH? Mind you, she passed by our table several times, but never made eye contact or acknowledged us. I felt that a "hi, I'll be with you in a moment" would have been appropriate. But nope. We were ignored. I understand she was busy but this is the service industry and a bit of communication would have went a long way. When she finally stopped by, we ordered 2 glasses of sparkling, a beer, and a meat and cheese board. Well, we got our drinks but never got the cheese and meat board. At this point, 30 minutes had passed and we saw that tables who ordered after us, were served their food. So we flagged her down and politely asked to cash out & to just disregard the cheese and meat board. She told us the kitchen is busy but she'd check and will bring it out shortly. Reluctantly, we agreed and waited a bit longer... only for her to come back and tell us she'd go ahead and cancel the order. Now I don't know if the server just forgot to put our order in or if she gave our order to the wrong table. Even if the kitchen was slammed.. how long does it take to assemble a cheese and meat board? Maybe this was a blessing in disguise because we paid and made our way to Twilight Exit for one of the best burgers! read more

Food was delicious but service was absolutely terrible from the moment we walked in the door. Only thing I can guess is she knew she was getting a 20% tip (which wasn't mentioned) so didn't bother being friendly or checking on us. Was unfortunate as we were celebrating a birthday. Probably won't be back... too many nice people other places. Happy to pay 20% or more for good service but feels insulting when the service is truly awful. Hopefully a good chunk went to the kitchen staff. read more

One of my very favorite spots in Seattle. Everything is top notch from the food, drinks, ambiance and service. Sitting outside on the cute little patio is the best but indoors inside the literal bottle "house" is also a great. This time when I went I ordered off the dessert menu to compliment my wine. The chocolates truffles were so creamy and delicious. Perfect bites to enjoy with wine. Loved the dessert cheese platter as well. Then to top off an already superb experience, server brought us the most delicious chilled sparkling wine on the house. The staff are so awesome! Thanks bottlehouse for exceeding my expectations yet again. Can't wait to come back. read more

Attended a rehearsal dinner party last night in Bottlehouse's intimate backyard setting. What a great atmosphere. The backyard was surrounded by all kinds of draping perennials. Tables with umbrellas, all kinds of seating made our party very comfortable. Now for the service. It was outstanding. Each wait staff made us feel very cared for. They were prompt with the libations and foods. We asked for hand sanitizer and within minutes were given plenty. The wine and other sinks were deliciously cold! The food was served buffet style and was very good. Salmon spread with toast points, stuffed mushrooms, charcuterie! Yum! Just the right amount of food which also looked really delightful. I highly recommend! read more

This review is for a private event but I imagine my experience speaks to the place overall. We had a small celebration gathering with about 20 of us and had the back garden patio space to ourselves. The location overall is so cute (clearly was someone's home at one point). Awesome spot and private and our server was the sweetest and attentive. The appetizers we had for our group were lovely. The vegetable crudite had assorted cooked and raw veggies which was nice. The baguette board was nice because it was more than just good bread. It had honey, fancy salts, chèvre, butter etc. The cheese and charcuterie board was great with many options. We also enjoyed the caprese skewers. Nothing amazing but still good because you can't go wrong with fresh tomatoes and mozzarella. The baked salmon and burrata toasts were also awesome. Definitely these were my favorite of all of our foods. Drinks were various wines, beers, and house sodas that guest could choose from. Overall I find it incredibly hard to find a nice outdoor patio space to host a private event and have appetizers type options etc rather than a plated dinner. I was so happy to come across Bottlehouse and definitely want to come back to dine on their regular menu and wine. read more

If you're looking for a great outdoor dining spot for your next date night - this is it! Their patio is perfectly quaint with an excellent selection of food and amazing wine to choose from. The happy hour options of cheese, charcuterie and their snacking trio were excellent. The patio is covered and cozy, with heaters throughout. Downsides - we arrived exactly at 3pm and there was already a small line forming. They do not take reservations so if you're set on eating here - definitely be prepared to wait or get there right on time! Service wasn't great, but based on other reviews may have just been an off day. Our food kept getting delivered to the wrong table and our server kept forgetting to get our check. read more
