    Cottontail is a fantastic little bar tucked away in Belltown, and I'm really glad I got to visit while in Seattle. It has a relaxed, welcoming vibe that made it easy to settle in and enjoy the evening with friends. The service was great--friendly and attentive without being over the top. The real highlight, though, was the drinks. The selection of handcrafted cocktails was impressive, and everything we tried was well-balanced and thoughtfully made. Whether you're into adventurous flavors or classic mixes, there's something for everyone. It's a cozy spot with a unique charm, perfect for catching up with friends or winding down after a day in the city. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in town.

    Hidden Gem Alert: Cotton Tail Bar! I recently discovered Cotton Tail, and I must say, it's a hidden gem that's quickly become a favorite of mine. The drinks here are perfect - expertly crafted with just the right balance of flavors. The ambiance is everything you'd want in a bar, providing a great setting to unwind and enjoy a drink or two.What sets Cotton Tail apart is its service. If you're looking for a new spot to grab a drink, run to Cotton Tail. It's a must-visit bar in my book, and I make sure to bring every friend of mine here to share in the experience

    TC is the man. These drinks are good but the service is top notch. He recommended so many places based on our likes. Come see them, you won't be disappointed.

    Drinks were great! We tried the Wonderland 65, Shark Attack, Ginger Margarita, and Madhatter Mai Tai - all were great! The bartender was very chill and kind, as well as pretty efficient. The decor was cute and whimsical! Would definitely recommend for cute and unique cocktails and they were tasty and sizable portions for only $13, which is really good in this area.

    Awesome Smash Burger in Belltown, friendly and cheap. Burger is topped with poblanos, patty is crispy on the outside, pink on the inside. 13$ is a steal. Music is unique, heard an underground rap I haven't heard in a long time, brought back a lot of memories..

    This is a new bar opened by the folks who opened Bathtub Gin and Rabbit Hole. It is hidden in an alleyway off of Blanchard and 3rd with mural art on the wall. You order at the bar which means it can take a while for your drink if the line is long and there is only one bartender working. They had a small menu on the board with only about five offerings which was pretty limited. I got the mad hatter mai tai ($13) which was sweeter than your typical mai tai, probably due to the orange. They have happy hour daily from 4pm-6pm which includes $12 cocktails, only a slight decrease from the ~$13 drinks otherwise. This is a unique lounge-y spot with multiple rooms to spend an evening. Also, they are dog friendly!

    Stopped in here for a late night cocktail. The decor is cool and it has a pretty cool vibe. Too bad the bartenders are both incompetent and rude. I asked for a particular type of alcohol. She said she didn't have it, but later I saw it sitting right on the shelf. Know what you serve!!!! My wife asked for a lime in her drink (because she was previously served a lemon instead) and the bartender told her "Don't talk to me like I'm a kindergartner". Wow....do you job and cut the sass. We won't be back.

    Nice seating

    I noticed the obscure Cottontail a couple of months ago walking down 4th Avenue. A sign warned that Cottontail was arriving soon. WTF? However, it was enough to pique my interest. Initially, I found zip on the internet, but then facts came drifting in morsel by morsel. Cottontail is a new bar that took over an old spot and reopened, with its entrance on the alley between Blanchard and Bell and 3rd and 4th. That's less than a block from my place, and my presence was required. These folks also run the Rabbit Hole in Belltown, and I believe Bathtub Gin. Last night I was able to stop in, and am I glad I did. This is an eclectic watering hole, welcoming an array of humanity. It was refreshing to be amongst every possible subculture Seattle maintains. I was the oldest cat in the bar, but no one cared. Bryce, the Minot, North Dakota native was my barkeep, and he handled my annoying questions with panache. The atmosphere would be called "speakeasy," but it's just comfy and welcoming. Everyone was friendly, and I had a great time, leaving after three drinks with a big shit eating grin on my face. Despite the cold temperatures, I was toasty. The Cottontail is a unique lounge for this area in Belltown. Welcome to the hood.

    Step into Cottontail, and you'll feel like you've entered a time capsule. The old-school Seattle vibe is palpable - dimly lit, cozy booths, and a mishmash of seats and tables that exude eclectic charm. It's the kind of place where you can unwind, chat with friends, and forget about reality. The staff here is friendly and attentive. Plus, they've got that laid-back Seattle attitude that makes you feel right at home. The cocktails at Cottontail are a delightful blend of creativity and classic flavors. Whether you're a whiskey enthusiast or prefer something fruity, they've got you covered. Okay, let's address the elephant in the room - parking. It's not great. If you're driving, be prepared for a challenge. There is a paid lot in the alley that is affordable but fills up on weekends along with street parking.

    Popped in for some pre-dinner cocktails. We came during a holiday so the vibes were hard to decipher since we were the only ones. But they served delicious drinks with cool decor inside!

    What a great find. Amazing selection of Gin and other unique spirits . Our bartender was fantastic, made us an awesome cocktail based on what our chosen flavors were: a unique blend of dive bar speakeasy. Space full of dark corners and chill tables to drink and relax. Will be back!

    Ambiance is so much fun and quiet ! It has the perfect amount of noise ! Server was friendly and bartender was nice as well ! Decor is so creative and cool ! Definitely felt like I was Alice in wonderland ! Drinks are super strong So beware ! Overall tacos were so good , drinks were amazing as well

    Neat ode to the days gone by of the Rabbit Hole and Mr. Darcy's and the like. The newest offspring of the creator of Bathtub Gin and others. A speakeasy, alleyway drinking hole where the ambiance partners with the specialty cocktails to bring you a casual, comfortable drinking experience. If any of you remember the Sit and Spin, you'll know where this place resides.

It's obvious the hush puppies are a favorite as they kept flying out. We ordered them. They were soft and creamy with a delicious sauce! I had the scallops, which were huge and while I almost didn't order them because they came on a bed of frisse, but this was excellent and I really enjoyed it. Others in the party ordered the mushrooms, carrots, and duck. All were very happy with their choices. Such a hip, swanky kind of place. We will definitely be back!

I am a rebel with a food cause and opted to dine at The Loupe Lounge on my layover. Well, that was the master plan but coming from Maui, there were delays and my little mission was diverted. Abort? Absolutely NOT! Being a SUPER optimistic about everything in life, I rushed to make a 5:30 p.m. reservation at 7:00 p.m. I know, it was pushing it but for $150 a person I did not want this opportunity to go to waste. We arrived at The Space Needle and were whisked up to The Loupe Lounge. The host was not sure if they could still serve us so she rushed to get the manager. She must have gone back to NYC Fashion Week because here comes the manager looking like a whole GQ model, super trendy manager in the house! Well, he accommodated us, very cool of him. You're an Angel cause we were starving! The food was packaged to go, it was so delicious I'm super bummed that we didn't get to experience this in person. It was pretty in a box can't imagine what it would have been like in person! Beggars can't be choosers! The meal was fantastic! Caviar was packaged with ice! How accommodating and it passed TSA. Drinks were amazing and Andrea was the BEST waitress! Lucky we had her! Overall, if I'm back in Seattle this is back on my to-do list! Very cool experience and worth every penny! Honestly pretty cheap considering all you get! The drinks alone were worth it!

The drinks are nothing special and definitely not the highlight, but they get the job done while you take in one of the best panoramas in Seattle. The revolving lounge gives you a full 360-degree view of the city, so every seat feels like the best seat in the house. You can see all of downtown, the Puget Sound, and the peninsula across the water as the floor slowly rotates. It's an easy, relaxed way to take in everything without having to move around. Bottom line: don't come expecting craft-cocktail magic. Come for the incredible views, the unique experience, and the chance to see Seattle from above in a way that never gets old.

The tacos were pretty good, but our main issue is that the bartender forgot about my boyfriend's drink. We figured it was just a one-time thing because there was only one guy taking orders, making drinks, bringing everything else, but unfortunately we had the same thing happen again. Once again, we ordered a couple drinks and the bartender forgot about my boyfriend's drink. The place was pretty busy, and once again it was one guy handling everything. I don't know what the problem is, if they need a better system of taking orders or if they need better staffing. Either way, this place has a lot of potential and it's unfortunate to see it wasted with bad service.
