A really solid "speakeasy" located inside of the amazon spheres. The interior is built for a fancy date night and the service is friendly -- they seat you with some complimentary sparkling water. The drinks were good, but I always come for the smoked halibut dip. I feel like the recipe on the halibut dip has changed over time, but it's still got a good amount of fish in there. read more

This is a little hidden gem under the Amazon spheres! It's a delightful space with a fun vibe and yummy cocktails. Overpriced but I think you're paying for the ambience. Nice for a drink or two. Service is quick and everyone is attentive and helpful. read more

$20 drinks so definitely pricey. Favorites were the Sun and Smoke, and Guns and Rosé. Ordered the Wood's End as well but it needed more elderflower. Get a reservation if you can, it's almost impossible to get a table with walk-ins. Cute speakeasy vibes, definitely quite fancy. The manager was a bit snarky and rude, my friend had pulled out his laptop to answer a quick email and instead of quietly telling him to put it away, he kind of came at him rather abruptly and yelled at him. Kind of ruined the experience overall. I understand that it might ruin the aesthetic of the bar but he didn't need to be so rude about it. read more

Hit this bar up on a date night with the wife for an after dinner drink. Fun atmosphere, amazing vibe and energy. Drink prices are crazy high, but if you don't go too crazy can be a fun night or end to a night. Staff was great, will definitely return (but in special occasions due to cost). read more

So this place adds an insulting 22% gratuity to every check. There is also no warning of this ahead of time. This is just about the most disrespectful thing a restaurant/bar can do to its customers. It's not about the money, but the nerve to automatically add beyond 20% is crazy and basically amounts to theft, as this is not a regular practice or industry standard. There is no justification for it. Normally I tip well beyond 20%, but I simply wouldn't go back here due to the feeling this gave me. It's just extremely cringy. Jack up your drink prices as high as you want. I understand I'm drinking underneath a giant tourist attraction, so paying $23 for a sub par drink with well whiskey in it is fine. It is a nice, classy place. But there's no way to get past this. The check says this 22% is automatically added to every check in small print at the bottom. I'm assuming this is true, unless of course it was just done to me because I was wearing a flannel shirt and jeans and to the Latino couple seated next to me at the bar. If you have self respect, I wouldn't go to this place. There are plenty of other bars in Seattle. Tavern Law has better drinks and only automatically adds the customary 20% gratuity. I've never seen a bar add this much tip without giving customers a choice. read more

This is my new favorite cocktail bar in the city. Vibes, immaculate. Drinks, insane. Menu, hot dogs AND caviar? Babe, that's me! I absolutely loved it. I brought my mom here while she was visiting for Christmas and we had a wonderful time. We both ordered two cocktails that unfortunately I can't remember the name of but I doubt you'd find one you didn't like as the menu is EXTENSIVE. Additionally, the host and our bartender were both fabulous and happy to help with any questions about the menu we had. I'll absolutely be back. read more

I'm so sad that I didn't get the name of our server. I'm sure he said it. He was the absolute best. We came in for my birthday on 4/30 to end the night. The cheese board and halibut dip were delicious. Please, please, please order the guns and rose! It was so good! The space was small and intimate but not cramped. The music and vibe was immaculate. I truly enjoyed this place and will be returning often. read more

This is an upscale, intimate, light averse and unique bar. Decor is original and witty, if you're into that kind of thing. It was quite busy when we arrived, so plan ahead. Drinks selections are eclectic as well as an extensive and impressive spirit list. If you're leaning towards a progressive night out, this is a good starter spot. read more

We visited Deep Dive on 4/27/24, during our trip to Seattle. The architecture and overall interior design of Deep Dive/Amazon Spheres was absolutely stunning. We had a reservation and were seated as soon as we arrived. Our table faced the bar area where we had a lovely view of the bartenders crafting cocktails and the intricate wall of spirits behind them. Throughout the night we ordered a couple rounds of cocktails that were all delicious and well presented. Overall we had a unforgettable experience and I would definitely recommend this spot if you are looking to enjoy some high-end cocktails. read more

Deep Dive is a wonderful speakeasy-like cocktail lounge located on the side of one of the Amazon Spheres. Its dark and mysterious ambiance aligns perfectly with the bar's name and the vast drink menu is also a great reflection. Depending on your mood and drink preference (sweet, citrus, strong, etc.) there is a drink that will pair perfectly with the experience. The drinks arrived shortly upon placing the order and the server made excellent recommendations.I tried the Dancing In The Dark (aged rum, Pineau Des Charentes, amaro, blackberry, mint) and it was absolutely delicious. Reservations are definitely recommended since seating is limited. read more

Deep Dive is a very unique bar that's quickly become a staple when showing people around town, especially since it's inside the Spheres. I highly recommend having a reservation - this place fills up quickly! The vibe is very elegant and moody - don't come in here wearing sweats, Seattle! Drinks were tasty but a little pricey, which is expected in this setting tbh. Service was friendly and quick, and did not rush us out. I typically only stay for one round of drinks. Only downside to this bar is that they have limited hours. Otherwise, Deep Dive is a fan favorite! read more

Super cute cocktail bar that gives off speakeasy vibes. Make sure to make a reservation online (super easy to find a time) so you don't have to worry about getting turned away at the entrance. I booked for a group of 4 people and they seated us in our own little area and it was absolutely lovely! Cocktails are $20 each! I ordered the guns n rosé- which has gin and rose and it was a solid drink if you enjoy gin! My friend ordered the sun n smoke- I liked this one better but that's because I have a lowkey obsession with mezcal I'll definitely be back to try out the other drinks! read more

Pretty neat speakeasy located at the Spheres! Reservations are fairly hard to get unless you go around opening, so definitely plan a few days to a week in advance if you wish to go here after dinner. We were able to snag a reservation for 3 people at 10pm on a Saturday, the morning of. One of the big pluses is that they are willing to hold the reservation for 20 minutes maximum, so we ran late and still were able to be seated. Also, the hours say they close at 11pm for Saturday, but they don't kick you out at 11pm. They want to make sure you have the time needed to enjoy the cocktails and have a good experience. We got the Scorched Earth, Duc Duc Gooseberry, and the featured cocktail - Flower Drum Song. Almost all cocktails are $20, but the Scorched Earth was $22. Price-wise it is a bit high, and the cocktails are not that good. Some of them felt a bit watered down. However, the cocktails are very pretty and the ambience is very classy and modern-looking. The Scorched Earth had a nice smoky flavor. Duc duc gooseberry has some ginger and light spice flavor, but a bit watered down. Flower Drum Song had a nice bubbly, fruity, and floral composition. Service overall is good. The server is patient and refills water consistently. Pictures are encouraged as they let me wander into the different areas of the bar, encouraging me to go in to the private room if I wish to take better pictures. Overall, I had a very positive experience at the bar, but this is more of a 4 stars because the cocktails are not really up to quality relative to the pricing. read more

Came her randomly for a cocktail before dinner. I was able to walk in as a party of 1 without a reservation and get a seat at the bar. The decor was swanky, the drinks were fun and inventive, but the prices were up there. read more

Fun night out with friends. I don't really drink so I was happy to see several mocktails on the menu. Staff was very accommodating and friendly. The decor and atmosphere was very upscale. I also found the pricing to be very reasonable. I would recommend this spot to anyone. read more

The drinks were all quite good. I also felt the menu offered a lot of unique options too. I'd definitely come back to try more. Pro tip - you can order the focaccia from Willmott's Ghost next door and it's the same price and just as tasty. The service was honestly much slower than other cocktail bars, and it didn't seem because they were short staffed or busy. Just kinda slow and unhurried and chatting with each other. In a 2 hour reservation, we were only able to order two drinks each, but would have liked to have ordered more. I did have an issue with a hair in my drink and when the server saw me fish it out with a knife, he came over and got me a new one. I appreciated that but it was kind of off putting. The ambiance was pretty cool. Weird and quirky decor in an environment that felt like you were in fact underwater. read more

Overall: 4.5/5 (dine in) Deep Dive gives you a moody speakeasy vibe & is located right at the Amazon spheres. This bar is exclusive in that they require a reservation to enter. We were lucky to get a walk-in since we called earlier and they told us to come right when they open at 4 PM. They're really strict on time so we got seated from 4-5:15 PM. You can't hang out at the bar to finish your drink since all seating is reserved. Their drinks are on the pricier side but are stronger. However, none of them were impressive enough to make me want to come back. Roca Y Fumar ($20): Strong mezcal based drink. Cortisone ($20): Heavy on the ginger taste. Flip On the Fly ($20): Pretty good and had a nice foam from the egg whites. read more

Great cocktails and ambiance. Call ahead to reserve, if out on a popular night. Forward cocktails with very cool seating.

Speakeasy! Yes speaking my language. Tucked on the left side, under the Amazon spheres you have to make reservations to experience the drinks and the food. Upon entering you walk down a long hallway that opens to a what I thought felt like a 1960's classy lounge with a jazzy feel. We managed to get a couple tables and the price sitting room (which felt like a cigar room without the smell). The drinks were amazing and perfect. The appetizer choices were enough to satisfy and even the caviar was amazing. I would add this to my Seattle stop when I am in town. read more

Delicious light bites and out of the box cocktails. I loved the moody vibe and all the attention to detail. It is small so I recommend making a reservation. My husband and I got lucky that they squeezed us in last minute, but it was on the condition we leave before the reservation came in 45min. read more

Deep Dive - Focaccia bread which is a must try. - Speakeasies Near Me - Seattle, Washington

A "speakeasy" under the Amazon Spheres, with decor that tries way too hard to be cool. We were met rudely by the hostess, who led us to a table to stand and wait while bar spots and tables were left vacant for reservations that never came. Eventually a very nice waiter came over and gave us a drink menu, and I did enjoy my tasty but way overpriced $23.00 cocktail. On our way out we were told by the hostess that we could have a table in the corner that felt like we were being punished in grade school. Will not be back. read more

What once used to be my favorite place to visit and take people, is now on my don't go back list. I was extremely disappointed by my experience tonight. The cocktail was not made well, and when my server came by to check on how our table was doing, I made a comment that the drinks are extremely strong. I was trying to tell her nicely that the drink was not a cocktail but straight alcohol. She dismissed my comment and replied that it's standard. I asked for the check shortly due to her behavior and I was not going to drink the cocktail. She checked me out and when I went to the front, I reached out to another sever to provide feedback on my experience. Unfortunately, he also dismissed my comment and simply said thank you for the feedback. I am extremely surprised this was how I was treated. Not sure what has happened here but please go to other cocktail bars. The price and rude attitude is not worth it. read more

The greatest little pocket of magic we ever could have stumbled upon! Absolutely delicious and complex beverages, with an incredible NA menu. The Oaxacan Old Fashioned was bold and perfectly balanced. The Snake Oil Sour (NA) was everything you would dream of, impeccably sour with the perfect amount of sweet. Let's talk about the mood here though, absolutely divine. Deep, dark, and curious. Thoughtfully placed oddities, inviting and moody. Do not miss Deep Dive on your next Seattle visit. read more

This is a cute little speakeasy right underneath the Spheres. We went there on a Wednesday night and it was as busy as a weekend night. I'd recommend preferably doing a reservation as opposed to walking in as this place can get really busy even on a weekday. They only allow you to sit at a table for 1.5 hours and the waitress mentioned this even before we got the table which I thought was not very welcoming. We walked in and the ambience was just so elegant and classy. We tried the gun and rose and the huckleberry sin cocktails. Both were really flavorful and lived up to their names. The cocktail list is huge. They have a huge mocktail list as well, which is rare these days. We didn't try any food but the menu looked really interesting. Overall, this place was great and I would definitely visit again. I can totally call this my favorite speakeasy in Seattle. read more

Year ago I felt this place was a bit pretentious. I've been here 3 times in the last couple months and it couldn't be further from that. I've recently har 3/3 incredible bar experiences here. The cocktail menu has been redone and the offerings are incredible. Between my drinks and tasting others, I've prob sampled 10-12 drinks. ALL OF THEM, fantastic. Highly recommend trying Deep Dive for a once in a lifetime cocktail experience. The venue is part of that as well. Prob one of the most uniquely designed bars I've been to all over the world. read more

I have a feeling that my review would've been lower if I had gotten the food here, but it's a good thing I didn't. We really only stopped by here for drinks because we wanted to check out the spheres that this bar is in. I ordered a cocktail called No More Parties in LA ($20), which is a mix of Singani 63, Cachaca, matcha, coconut, pineapple, vanilla, and lime. I am a matcha fan, so I really liked my drink. It has a potent taste of matcha with other tropical flavors mixed in along with it. All of the drinks that they have here are curated by their bartenders so they're unique enough to justify the higher price point since you can't get these drinks anywhere else. I looked at their food menu though and I can't justify the price for those. We were much better off doing what we did in getting dinner prior to coming here. Service here was okay. From the very beginning we were getting the impression that they wanted us to just get in and out since it was later in the night but it took forever for them to get us our check. Maybe they didn't want to push us too hard to leave, but we're used to having the check dropped off with us to mean that it's time to wrap up. We ended up having to ask them for the check ourselves after our glasses have already been emptied for about half an hour. I do also wish that they turned up the lights in here even just a little bit. It would've been nice to be able to read the menus without needing to hold the candle up to it, while still struggling to read it. Overall the drinks were great and definitely unique, but the experience wasn't that great. It feels like a one time thing to try out and take a look at the spheres but I don't really see myself coming back here on my next Seattle trip. read more

I was looking for a Speakeasy to go to in Seattle, and this was near my hotel! I walked by the entrance on the side of the Spheres and my friend had to come outside to wave me in! Service was wonderful, and the aesthetic/decor was warm, cozy, mysterious, and gave off dark academia vibes. It's private and fun. The cocktails were delicious and the charcuterie board was good too! Prices aren't cheap, but it's worth it. read more

Deep Dive is a bar where you want to go to impress. There's nothing else like it that I have seen in the area - it feels like out of a book or a movie with deep shadows, intriguing decor, and little nooks to disappear into. It is intimate and private. The menu is clearly divided into sections that clearly describe the cocktails in a relatable fashion. I appreciated that they gave terms that I think people from social drinkers to experienced drinkers would appreciate and be able to order without wondering what they did order. And if it's not on the menu it's not off the table. The bartenders are super knowledgeable and are eager to experiment and try new things. They seem very passionate about their craft. I ordered on the menu. I ordered off the menu. And I asked them to come up with something different. I was very pleased with each drink. I would caution it is not an inexpensive bar. You're not coming here for happy hour. They have some food but nothing you could make a meal out of. It is all high end upscale bar food, much fancier than you'd see at a typical bar. It is totally worth visiting at least once. read more

My husband, best friend, and I visited Deep Dive, and it was my friend's first time in Seattle, so we thought this would be a perfect spot! The ambiance is beautiful--dim and romantic, making it great for a couple of drinks. Just a heads up, this isn't a place for a full meal since the menu consists mostly of tapas, but there is a fantastic selection of drinks. The bubbly and cocktails felt carefully crafted and were definitely a highlight of the experience. While we enjoyed the drinks, there were a couple of things that detracted from the evening. Toward the end, one of the servers kept reminding us about the time limit while we were still eating, which made us feel a bit rushed. Also, the space we were seated at--a small round table for three--felt a little cramped. At one point, our server accidentally bumped into my husband without acknowledging it. It might've been an innocent mistake, but it left a bit of a negative impression. As for the food, we had mixed feelings. We ordered the halibut, which could've used a bit more flavor, and the halibut dip, which was deliciously seasoned. The steak tartare was good, but the bread served with it was too hard to enjoy. When we asked for an alternative, they brought crackers, which didn't quite complement the dish, though we appreciated the effort. Overall, while there were some enjoyable aspects, I'm not sure I'd come back, but it's a lovely spot if you're looking for a unique atmosphere and a well-crafted cocktail. read more

Had a wonderful time at Deep Dive! You'll find the pathway entrance off Lenora St. If you hit 7th Ave., you've gone too far. The lighting is dim inside, adding to the moody ambiance. It was very clean and love that the bathrooms have cloth hand towels opposed to paper. Drinks came swiftly and deliciously. I had the Hush Money and Tiger Lily - both presented in a chic, enticing way. Though there are many choices on the menu, the bartenders are able to make drinks-to-order. I would love to go back and try a few of the small dishes/appetizers offered. Highly recommend! read more

Amazing cocktails, service and small bites. This was the second visit. Go, you won't be disappointed

If you've ever wondered what's inside Bezo's Balls ... Turns out, it's an uber expensive speakeasy-like bar straight out of a Jules Vern novel or a Cabinet of Curiosities from Hogwarts. Loved this place, loved the vibe, loved the decor, loved the service, and loved their Sun & Smoke cocktail. The bill, not so much. Simply can't afford to be a regular here, but it sure is a great, upupscale date night. The front door is located at the Sphere's taint. read more

The ambiance, the food, and the service were all wonderful. I came with a friend to visit this little gem and we were seated at the bar. The bartender that evening made me the best French 75 I've ever had. My friend also said her drinks were amazing. We ordered small bites, the Jamon iberico and the focaccia. They were both phenomenal! The Jamon came with a touch of olive oil over it and in one bite I knew the olive oil was not from the US. It took me right back to my trip to Italy. I would say their drinks and fare are a little pricey compared to other speak easy's near by, but this place is definitely a treat to be had. My friend and I had a wonderful time and both said we couldn't wait to treat our spouses to a night out there. read more

Stopped in for a cocktail, the place is stunning- very good service, the drinks were good. The only negative is that the bar charges a 22% service charge which they say they keep- this is awful. Then of course you need to add a tip too or feel like a schmuck. 2 3 oz cocktails for over 60$ without an added tip seems excessive. read more

What a neat spot in the heart of Seattle. This bar transports you into an immersive dark and sophisticated environment. The vibe is very much up-scale with a touch of eclectic modern. The drinks were pretty good! They have a small menu of snacks. The bar itself is located within the Amazon spheres so it was a little challenging to find.

If you don't have a reservation, get here right at 4. This is a high-class speakeasy style cocktail bar with delicious local food.

Everything down to the coasters was beautiful. The design is intimate, warm, and curvy just like the Spheres. read more

First time here, wish we could've explored the Spheres a little more but it was still amazing nonetheless. Ambiance and atmosphere is 10/10. Love how you have to walk down into the bar. Gives of speakeasy type vibes. It's dimly lit with 90's and early 2000's rap. The staff are extremely helpful which is essential given their extensive drink menu. I'm kind of basic and asked for some sweet and fruity non-alcoholic drink, and was recommended the Disputed Origins which was amazing and exactly what I asked for. My wife and I split their Jamon Iberico with their Warm Focaccia. Definitely enough for 2 people. The saltiness of the jamon goes perfectly with the sweetness of the focaccia bread. The jamon is slices perfectly thin in a way that almost melts in your mouth. read more
