My husband and I simply love this place. The service from Ben and Calvin made our evening even better. The food is delicious, and the caipirinha is amazing! You have to try all deserts! We will definitely keep coming back. read more

If you're looking for a classy spot with great quality in Pioneer square this is your spot. The photos really give a good idea of the ambiance. We arranged for a corporate happy hour here and everything was just as expected in the best way. Owner Erik was very responsive, considerate and flexible. We ordered a selection from the menu including the Spanish rice, meatballs, hammered potatoes chips and guac and arugula salad and all was timely and delicious. There was water, and the discussed food ready upon arrival and drink orders taken promptly. The commitment to quality, and thoughtfulness/intentionality behind the aesthetic and menu are evident. I'll definitely be back for date night read more

Now this place is such a hidden gem! My friend and I were originally just going to get drinks next door but we saw happy hour and we thought why not? We were greeted promptly by the hostess and I believe the manager for the night? I knew from the reviews this place preferred reservations but it didn't hurt to try a walk in. As soon as we walked in the manager said we have a table right this way! Talk about fast service! As soon as we sat down we got our menus. I had decided on a Bees Knees and my friend had gotten the house chardonnay! We also got a cheese board just for the night. I must say the Bees knees had a real good sour taste. The cheese board was a good appetizer as well. It had just enough of everything to make you full! Now the manager asked us if we could move table to accommodate another party that had arrived earlier than expected and we of course had no problems with that! He offered us some drinks on the house so we did get to try another drink. I tried the dead line and my friend decided on one of the drinks with rum. Both were so yummy. Shortly after, we paid the bill and left. However, the star of the show was the server who ran to us to give my friend her mask back! He literally crossed three lights it'd be like a pretty long walk but he ran straight down and said I didn't know if you needed this but I didn't want you to worry about having a mask!! That was such a sweet and out of service thing to do we were really thankful Looking forward to coming back when im in Seattle! read more

Don't allow reservations if when your customers put their name in for a reservation that says 20 min and then a hour later the wait is magically 30 min. Not a way to manage customer expectations or a business. read more

A very pleasant surprise! Stopped by for a quick snack and drink while in the area. The waitress was VERY welcoming and accommodating for our party of 10. She was aware of our time crunch and was very respectful of our need to eat real quick and leave. She suggested fish and chips and I was sure glad she did! It was one of the best halibut I've had! The batter was light and fried to perfection. It was not greasy and wonderfully seasoned. The fries were light. The sauce was a perfect balance. The chicken sandwich was ordered "spicy" which added a boost in flavor. It wasn't spicy. Again, one of the best chicken sandwich I've had in a long time. Cocktail was really refreshing and a perfect compliment to the meal. Very happy to have stumbled into this wonderful place. Will 100% be back when in the area. Well deserved 5 stars for service, quality, and ambience. read more

Great food and service. Excellent ambiance. Happy hour menu had good variety and prices.

Great food and service. The empanadas were flaky and delicious and the butter lettuce salad was fresh and fabulous. We loved it.

Remember how I said that the Pioneer Square area of Seattle has earned its sketchy reputation? Unfortunately, THIS place sits in that area. HOWEVER, if you can get through the fuckery of the area, DEAD LINE is truly worth the effort. The exposed brick, the dark colors, the drapes that adorn the walls, and that beautiful, spirits wall with a ladder make you feel like you've just walked into an old-school speakeasy. I didn't have dinner ( This time) but I will be going back for dinner. The barkeeps are all knowledgeable and have mastered their art. When you think of a high-end drink in an intimate setting, THIS place should be on your list. read more

We arrived in time for our 6 PM reservation and were told our table would be ready in about 20 minutes. We told maître d' that we had tickets to Hamilton for a show beginning at 8 PM. A few minutes later we were seated. Each of us enjoyed our meals and our cocktails. We would've liked to have had dessert since two in our party were celebrating their birthdays but there wasn't enough time. Will return again. Cool vibe. We found parking on the street right outside the restaurant, so that was a bonus. read more

Total asshole on arrival! Asked about parking in front; guy said he doesn't work for city! Asked my friend for ID to eat there and refused to serve us without a USA ID.. My friend is from France. Never will go here ... totally rude people. read more

We came here after a Seahawks game, so they were quite busy. The ambiance was great but unfortunately the food was very much not worth the price. We got the halibut ceviche and garlic Parmesan fries as a starter and immediately knew we were not going to order more. The food was very disappointing and the service was not great. read more

The food at Dead Line is consistently good, but the service and chef are flaky. We hosted a birthday party in their private event space on a Thursday night for 30 people and they completely dropped the ball. The chef apparently didn't have the event on his radar and didn't prepare well. We had food for maybe 10 people and they kept leading us on that they were a little behind but would come through. The food never came and it was a bit of a disaster for the hungry guests. Won't be hosting events here and would not recommend it to anyone. read more

Went back for the bees knees -- again (although it wasn't on the menu this time, it still tasted as perfect as ever). Also tasted their dead line cocktail. I'm not a fan of mezcal and after ordering it, I was quickly reminded why I don't drink it. However, I can appreciate that it was well made. Also ordered the vanilla gelato with cookie crumbles. Decent but I probably wouldn't order it again only b/c the portion was small. But great times as usual. read more

We went here on a group date. I had made a reservation through Yelp and we were seated quickly. They were great at refilling our water and got us a menu quickly. We ended up waiting a lot-to order, for our food, and for our check. We would have ordered a second drink but no one came to check in on us after our food was brought out. Everyone working was so nice though! My husband and I split the calamari and the halibut tacos. I wouldn't get the calamari again-it was a little bland. The halibut tacos were yummy and it came with 3! The winning dinner item this week was our friend's lamb-so flavorful and delicious! Great yummy food, great cocktails, but wish the service was a little better. read more

The vibe was a little weird, but the cheese plate was good. We did not stay for dinner, maybe a different day would have been better ! read more

Dead Line - Artisan Cheese Plate - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Classy, sleek cocktail bar - great for dates. Prohibition-esque, tall-ceilinged with cozy booths and beautiful bar. Hosted my engagement party in the mezzanine lounge upstairs last night - staff took excellent care of us. Delicious food - excellent ingredients, creative composition: - Winter salad: Loved the slightly charred grilled radicchio with roasted squash, cotija, with pickled pear adding just a note of sweetness, lightly dressed in currant vin. One of the best salads I've had in awhile - Brisket arepas: Deconstructed yet delicious. Tender, juicy brisket with a tasty lime crema, seconds please! - Royale with cheese: if a burger wore a tux...fantastic chimichurri and charred lemon aioli, crispy onions for texture Happy hour runs 3-6pm daily, $2 off cocktails and wine, $1 off beer (bottles/cans, no draft), $2 off food. Great bartender, friendly staff. Excellent music, think classic jazz. Gold Room (back room) available for private parties. Reservations accepted - check out the chef's table or mezzanine for date night! read more

Came in for late cocktails before closing. Well crafted cocktails and nice ambiance. Didn't get to try the food as kitchen was closed but enjoyed our time there. Great for small groups and not too loud inside. read more

Went in on a Saturday night during COVID and were seated up top, near the edge which gave us a great view of the bar and seating area below. They were short staffed so the bar managers as our server. He was super polite and friendly. I got the Spanish fried rice and ate every little bit of it. So nice/interesting to have so many veggies in it and they were good sized so it felt fresh. We also started with the crispy chickpeas which were also very good. read more

Loved the drinks service and my new favorite grilled octopus spot. Cant wait to come back

Great service from Sam and bartender. Charred octopus and shrimp salad were delicious. Great vibe

Awesome spot in pioneer square with great food, interesting drinks,good service and a cool vibe. Came in with a group on a Saturday night and pretty much ordered most of the menu to share: the winners: - Brussels sprouts- roasted, crispy, with a bit of tang from the glaze, makes eating your veggies a great idea - hammered potatoes- thick potato slices served with a yummy combo of textures from creamy aioli to crunchy pickled onion... definitely a great sharing plate - saffron fried rice- special of the night with chicken and chorizo, definitely a favorite for the table - squash al pastor tacos- surprising combo of savory squash with a little sweetness from pineapple that came together with the crema - fish tacos - crispy, lightly fried cod topped with a delicious tomatillo aioli Runner ups: - chimichurri Mac & cheese - good flavor with nice crunch from the breadcrumbs but a little dry - brisket & cornbread- the cornbread was actually arepas which were good but a little dense. The brisket was tender and the crema was a nice balance Every plate was scraped clean so clearly no complaints, will definitely be back to wrap up the few items left on the menu to try. read more

Been coming to Dead Line for awhile now and the food is still as delicious as when it first opened and the drinks are still spot on! Bartenders are still very friendly and serve great cocktails! We got a Dead Line (with activated charcoal!) and Glass full of hugs (because I like hugs and bourbon!) and they were both really delicious and well-balanced. We ordered the arepitas and brussel sprouts to start and had the squash al pastor and chorizo tacos to share for dinner. The arepitas were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside with just enough sauce on the dish. It was hard not to lick the plate. The brussel sprouts are perfectly charred with a balsamic glaze to die for. Yum! The squash al pastor tacos were tender and well-seasoned... enough that you didn't miss the meat! The chorizo tacos were also well-seasoned with awesome pineapple salsa and pickled jalapenos. I asked James about some of their Scotch selections and Chris came over to chat with us about their selection of Scotch and whiskey. We got to talking about their selections, some of their favorite bars in the area, and Chris also gave us some samplings of their delicious goods. I left well fed and warm with delicious drinks in my belly. Thanks James and Chris! read more

Found Dead Line after MNF Seahawk win. Wish I would have found it earlier. Good selections of oysters and well made creative cocktails.

This was our second time to DeadLine. Unfortunately, the service is very bad if not the worst & especially the lady at the front desk taking reservations was very arrogant. Food is just okay. We were treated with disrespect & asked to finish eating sooner to provide table to other guests. Was told 60 minutes was more than enough for reservation & asked to order food within 5 minutes as kitchen was closing. Why would you accept such late reservations if you knew kitchen was closing soon? read more

I loved this little bar. It has an upscale, slightly dark decor, and great food! The drinks were perfect, and the calamari was fresh. We got to sit by the window, and watch the view of the pretty buildings in Pioneer Square while we enjoyed. The bartender was super nice and helped with recommendations, and our only regret was that we didn't try the popcorn! We're still thinking about it. Can't wait to come back and try some more stuff! read more

Didn't know Deadline existed until I came here with some coworkers. I am not sure I'm cool enough to hang here tho ;) It's very dark and mysterious inside... very sleek. They have a cozy room on the main floor for a large party that I'm guessing you have to reserve ahead of time, and another space on the mezzanine level, which is where our group hung out. Drinks - I feel like you have to have at least one cocktail here before you switch to wine or beer. It's just that vibe. I got a fancy whiskey drink with yuzu liqueur (and other additions) that was light and refreshing. Food - Crostini with ground beef I believe with Cotija cheese and maybe some pickled onions... I'm not sure tbh, all I know is it was so delicious. The only other thing we got was fries and they were skinny and crispy which is the only way to have fries, so recommend both dishes. They are having a New Year's Party that I suspect will be cool AF. You should go since I'll be comfy in bed well before midnight. read more

Very disappointed with this place. Made reservations a few weeks in advance, for my birthday, and coming from California. Got a text saying we needed to come in earlier due to the restaurant being "bought out" for the night and the person texting us specifically said to come in at 5:30 since the party was starting at 7:30. the exact words were "5:30 would give you a full 90 mins before the event guests start trickling in right after 7. Would that work?" Plus they offered us "a round of bubbles for the inconvenience." I agreed and was more than happy to reschedule especially since they gave us warning.. right? Wrong. Fast forward to the night of my birthday, we get here at 5:30 only to be told that we had to be gone by 6. Completely backtracked on what they had told us, no apology, no anything, didn't even acknowledge the text exchange. Plus, due to the short/no notice, we didn't even have enough time to make reservations somewhere else ON MY BIRTHDAY. What a waste. Terrible customer service and I would not recommend this place. UPDATE: the owner reached out to us and even though we weren't able to rectify the situation completely, he did explain to us what happened and how they were very sorry for everything and offered for us to come in another time. Unfortunately we are going back to california tomorrow so won't be able to check the restaurant out, but the owner Erik was very apologetic and humble about it all. So that was appreciated in spite of how the evening transpired. read more

Walked all the way over on a Sunday night from my hotel, thinking it would be open until 11 PM based on their Yelp profile. It was shortly after 9 PM, and I was turned away and told they were closed. I would think about updating your details ASAP. read more

Lucky us, we just happened to choose Dead Line as our brunch spot on their first day of brunch! A lovely mimosa and delicious bloody to start in the most charming atmosphere. The avocado toast was on thick fresh bread and absolutely amazing, but the fried chicken sandwich was next level (I stole a few bites...maybe half, from my husband). Our waiter was so nice and the owner even stopped by to say hello and ask how our meal was. HIGHLY recommend Dead Line for brunch. I wish we were local so we could go back! read more

Yay!! Another great place in pioneer square! I ordered a 50/50 martini. It was so good even for having well gin. They clearly know what they are doing. The food was also delicious.

Loved our cocktails and bites at this gem of a place tucked away in pioneer square! Latin American food always calls my name but the dim lights, great selection of cocktails, and American extras on the menu changed the game. GET THE AREPITAS!!!!! They are Colombian not Venezuelan, but amazing! Also tried the Brussels sprouts and it was a perfect complement to our drinks. Only reason this is 4 over 5 stars is a limited menu, but the service was amazing, very little wait for a table, great ambiance, and everything we got was well made/thoughtful/delicious. read more

We showed up a few minutes late for a reservation. Lots of folks were drinking at the bar, two bartenders were making cocktails, someone was making food in the kitchen. There was no sign of a host, despite the sign saying we should wait for one, and no staff acknowledged us as we stood awkwardly for several minutes. We decided to bail. A shame, because it looked like a cool place. read more

This place is small, quirky and has potential. But it's marred by slow and inattentive service. Sat for at least 15min before having to flag someone down. No follow-up after food was delivered or drinks got empty. read more

I love Deadline for their 3-6pm happy hour and it's good location. You can share most of the happy hour food items, which ranges from tacos to amazingly zesty brussel sprouts and hammered potatoes (well-plated and flavorful with meszal).
