Dock and Drink - Love the frozen margaritas - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Renton, Washington

Signage said they are open. They were closed. Called to fin out why. They said "it was raining this morning so we didn't open it. Ugh. Seems like somebody didn't want to work today. The sun is shining!! read more

This place has a great view, but very poor service. At least in the bar area. The bartenders are busy yes, but they are quite aloof and seem not to care. I'll be coming back for sure as my group of friends enjoy the view and live music. The food is ok, I usually get a burger and a humus dip. Hoping a better experience on the tables where you get an actual server and don't have to go to the bar. Tip: it gets very busy, plan accordingly. read more

The Yelp page for this place led me astray. There were no oysters nor Brussels sprouts as shown on the page. This is a bar that's part of the Hyatt serving bar food: sandwiches, burgers, and hot dogs. That being said, I was quite impressed by their food. The fries were outstanding - crispy and tender with just a light touch of seasoning. Their Cali chicken sandwich was also very good - a juicy, large chicken breast on a brioche bun. They also have a good selection of beers and wines. The highlight, however, was their location, which is right by Lake Washington. The tables are self serve. They also have a couple of round sofas with a fire pit. Overall, a casual place to hang out and enjoy the view. read more

A popular place along the lake side area. Its a good place to sit and enjoy the view. The service can be a bit slow depending on how busy they get, but they do try to make sure you are set. I just ordered a drink while waiting for dinner reservations in the area. read more

Needed some food and drinks by the water, and this was the perfect spot. Located right on Lake Washington, it's a great place to dine and grab drinks, especially if you want to catch a sunset view. It can get warm out, but they've got umbrellas for shade. Food was solid, just a little more reasonably priced, as well as the drinks read more

The good - Amazing views, great ambiance, strong drinks. The bad - The burger I ordered tasted like someone grilled all the flavor out of it, and then kept going just to be safe. I honestly don't understand how someone can make a burger taste that bad. Drinks are also $$$ That being said, great place to lounge and hang out with friends on a nice warm sunny day. read more

It's easy to be nice, it's easy to make a margarita. Dude failed at both. Staff is rude lazy and just watching the line grow

I've lived next to the Hyatt for 6 years now. First couple of years they had a wonderful inclusive menu that those with dietary allergies could still enjoy a meal by the lake. Blackbean and sweet potato tacos, chips and guac/salsa. The last four years they have decided only those who eat meat, dairy and wheat can eat there. How hard is it to have an impossible or beyond patty in the freezer? Gluten free buns do very well in the freezer too. Vegan hot dogs... same. Hotel restaurants that don't take care of all their patrons lose business because everyone has someone in their family with a allergy or ethical health belief about meat/dairy. I'm a member at the health club there and have complained to everyone about this. No use. They won't listen. read more

If I could give 3.5 I would. It wasn't bad, but there were some issues. Views: STUNNING. You are sitting right on the water as close as you can get to lake Washington. Vibe: casual, pick your own seat. Bring a lawn chair. Shoes, optional. Service: appeared to be non-existent? You order at the bar and hope your food comes out soon. Adding some more points though, because a kind bartender actually ran over as I was leaving and gave me a box of free French fries because he had forgotten my ketchup I asked for at the beginning of my meal. Food: pretty good all things considered. Casual bar food but tasty. Smash burgers, fries, wings. A little disappointed because we saw pictures of oysters and steak on yelp, but that wasn't actually on the menu. All things considered, it was a good time! Would I return? Maybe not? We'll see. read more

You have to order at the bar and it can be slightly hectic, especially if it's nice out because that means EVERYONE is out...which also means finding a table can be a challenge. The bar line moves pretty quickly and we were lucky to find a table- although we had to bus/clear it ourselves since the previous party left all of their trash...like lime wedges on the table, plates of food, all their cups. And I think what is most annoying is, it wasn't that much further to just do it themselves, like turn around and take 5 steps. The view can't be beat, there was a little wait which is to be expected on a summer night. We got the chopped salad, Greek salad and burger (which came with fries). The chopped salad was so good, I have decided I will return solely for that, every bite was good. The burger wasn't impressive and you'd think for $19, it would have been ($25 at Daniel's broiler and it's SO good), fries are double fried so they are extra crispy. read more

Like other people have said the stand out aspect is the view and the ambience! My husband and I went to the bar to order our drink and go sit by the water, so I can't speak to the table service or the inside. There were only a couple bartenders actually making the drinks, so we had to wait in line for a pretty decent amount of time surprisingly, but the drinks themselves were really good even if they are served in plastic cups! The menu online and printed say that the cocktails options are their fall/winter 2023 ones, so I'm not sure if they haven't released the spring ones yet or what. The ones we did have were good, and didn't seem to fall/winter specific. The One Where We Use Gin 8/10 Hendrix Hall - Autumn French 75 10/10 For the price point, the drinks are more expensive - like you would expect at a cocktail bar, but if you separate the fact that the cocktail is in a plastic cup, it is a really good cocktail! I definitely wouldn't make this a regular spot due to the price point, but it's really nice for an occasional hang after work or if you're nearby! Parking validated. When you originally sign up at the garage, it will seem like they will charge you but you just go to the bar and ask for the QR code to scan and the discount will be applied for up to two hours which is $7 worth read more

The ambiance is incredible and so much fun, yet their service really sucks. Food is fine but expected for the environment. The staff seem to always be so overworked, irritated and just aren't attentive at all. It really ruins the experience especially when we're there with our families. Please do better! read more

Came here with my friend before catching a movie at the landing and was pleasantly surprised with how pretty the dock was. The food was very meh and the drinks overpriced You are definitely there for the view and everything else is sub par. I could see myself coming back with friends if we didn't want to head into seattle for some food overlooking the water, but I will probably pass on the food and maybe stick to one drink as it's not worth the calories or the $. read more

Service was good and attentive as they came by to check on refill on drinks on a busy weekend day. The food is something i didn't really care for as the smash burger was just bleh and dry. The seasoned fries were with old bay seasoning. Nice water view and if you want to be served, sit in the seats that are not directly in front of the bar. read more

ridiculous ridiculous, waited over 45 min for some "bar food" and when I finally went up to ask about my order they said "we just got it." Get you stuff together guys. This is absolute ridiculous. There's nothing worst than watch people around you (who showed up later) get their snacks and food before you. I WILL NOT BE COMING BACK. I wish I could give you zero stars. read more

I love coming here during Seattle summers. I'm a frequent during this time. It's cool the boats can come dock and folls can order food and drinks. I usually come with friends just to grab drinks and hang out. I ate here for the first time ever and the food was good. Nothing exceptional, a little over priced for what they offer. Like a $17 hot dog .But overall the vibe is good and it's a great location by Coulon Beach read more

Great place for afternoon drinks with friends after work! Love that there's parking right there.

This place gets some bad reviews and I am not sure why but I have my suspicions. I hate to hate on fellow yelpers but I think they are the problem. If your expectations are not aligned with what this place is you might be disappointed. Here is the deal: This is a hotel bar in the Hyatt Regency. It is an amazing view right on a dock on Lake Washington. It's a walk up bar where you can order your drinks and then grab a seat. Lots of seating but it is open seating so sure, when it's nice out it might be crowded. You can walk, drive, boat, or come by seaplane. Yep, seaplane. Beers and cocktails are great. Not the cheapest but this is not a dive bar. I think drafts were 9 bucks. Food was fine. Good actually. Again, you just order at the bar, grab a number and they bring your food. I had a burger. It's just a burger but it was good. Let's address the issue that most reviewers seem to have and that is service. Um. It's fine. It's good even. There are no servers roaming the tables you just go up to the bar. They are friendly and they get your drink. Lines are not too long but I am sure that is different on a weekend. Two bar stations serving people with a smile. I am here for work but I will 100% be back. Not because it is convenient but because they do a good job. Cold beer, cocktails, amazing location. What's not to like? read more

The cycle continues - Dock and Drink is now in its summer mode! If you're looking for lakeside drinking this is a fabulous spot. Five star experience! The bartenders are wonderful and make amazing cocktails. Sitting by the lake whether at a table, the bar, or their new comfy patio couches with a drink in hand is true bliss. It is so nice. The live music is cool too! Weather depending they have musicians play fun sets that adds something different for North Renton. Can't beat the experience! I should have stopped there. See, the food has changed. No more sliders, tacos, fries, or any other bar food. There's teriyaki, oysters, and sushi. The first time this spring I got the sushi. It's vended sushi, prepackaged. I ordered the California roll and a nigiri package that had tuna. It was okay. The rice was unusually gummy in the California roll with a drier center than I am used to. The nigiri rice was a bit on the dry side, the fish ok. Personally I think it's between Uwajimaya prepackaged sushi and 7-11 prepackaged sushi if that's any gauge. I really love sushi, I really love Dock and Drink, so I was disappointed in the quality. I had higher expectations based on the experience I typically have at the property and envisioned at least Trapper's sushi quality but no, it wasn't. The second time I ordered the oysters because I absolutely love oysters. I haven't eaten an oyster I haven't loved and I have eaten my fair share of oysters. I was shocked to find one that I not only dislike but couldn't eat at all. Now, if you like super briney, bitter, salt water tasting oysters you will love these. They're fresh. They're local. They just weren't for me. The executive chef explained that the variety may change over time but with supply chain issues this is what they had. I am disappointed because appearances are great and I loved Dock and Drink since it was Dock and Anchor (remember those days?). I understand staffing is a huge issue as well as capacity. With events back in full swing the catering kitchen is now too busy for Dock and Drink. I don't understand why they don't just let food trucks set up on the property - a good food truck can give quality without having to worry about staffing but I bet there's logistics or permits I am unaware of. I probably will come by for the drinks but when it comes to food I will skip it for Water's Table. It's not quite what it used to be. read more

What a cool spot!! I knew the Hyatt had expanded dining outdoors during COVID, but this was such a nice surprise to find a spot with plentiful outdoor seating (probably 200 seats), great vibe, good people watching, gorgeous views, & dog friendly. We visited on a Friday night. There was a musician playing through a city arts program, which added to the ambience. We got there around 5:45 and all tables with umbrellas were full, so prepare for full sun at least awhile. Ordering is all via app. They have beer, wine and cocktails. Also a cantina with a few food options, not extensive. Our initial drink order was quick and easy. We ordered a bunch of food. Chips & salsa, of course! Also, quesadilla, corn salad and ceviche. The chips were very good, thick & salty. Quesadilla was pretty good. I'm a huge ceviche fan, and I didn't love the ceviche, especially for $15. It was a small cup of whole shrimp, a couple cucumber slices, soaked in lime and jalapeño. No tomato or onion that I could see. It was basically a cup of marinated shrimp. I won't get it again. Overall, I enjoyed the experience and would come again. Prices are high, but the view and atmosphere make up for it. read more

They closed an hour early with no warning or explanation. Ruined my date night, and they were rude when we walked up confused. 8/21

In case you were confused like me, this venue is located in Hyatt Regency. There's a parking lot (which validates for a few hours) that makes it a convenient short walk through the hotel to the outside. The venue is set up like a couple food trucks and a bar. There is seating near the bar that's covered and then outdoor seating, which is perfect for a sunny day. If you sit down to eat, you scan a QR code at the table and can see the menu and order through that. It's a great idea in theory for a contactless interaction. Key words: in theory. After struggling with the poor service, I finally placed an order through the site for food and drink. My drink arrived really quickly but my food did not. 45 minutes passed, my friend had received her food that she ordered around the same time, and I decided to ask what was going on. I was informed that the printer had run out of paper about when I had ordered so it seemed like my order hadn't gone through. The employee told me she'd put my order in immediately but that was it, in terms of an apology. Later on, I tried to order another drink via the site but I couldn't get good enough service to place the order. Rather than go stand in line at the bar, I gave up and they lost another order of mine (this time by my choice). The food and drink were pretty average priced, but nothing special in terms of flavors. It's really just a convenient and beautiful location for outdoor drinks on a nice day since it's right on the water. read more

I went to the bar here and ordered a drink, sat down at a table and was greeted by a waitress who scolded me that the table was for food only and we would have to move. I just bought a $85 bottle of wine and said we would order snacks in a minute. The waitress said we could stay there because it wasn't busy, but then was hostile towards us the entire time. I asked for clarification on where I should order food, since it was a big deal before, and she told me to order at the bar like I had been. It was terrible service!!! read more

food and drinks are great! when it comes to the service this go around I am thoroughly unimpressed. I understand all people have bad days but when my in laws and I went to get a shareable and drink and asked if we go up and order or wait, the waitress (Sehna) dismissed us. We waited for 15 minutes before we said hey she looks busy we will just go get the drinks, while doing so she came to our table after seeing us leave. Later when bringing us napkins said multiple times I'm just going upstairs in a sarcastic way. She then turned a coworker to complain about us in front of us after that same person said it was fine. After we waited an hour and a half to receive any food. Food was also cold. read more

I really don't like to write negative review these days especially knowing how hard hospitality industry are these days. I hope this can be a constructive feedback and it can be improved on in the future. A couple of my girlfriends came here yesterday on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. It was a super hot day. We grabbed our seat with an umbrella close by, knowing it is selfing seating. We cranked open the umbrella ourselves, and ordered with the QR code menu. We ordered oysters and 3 drinks. The oyster came quickly and the hostess told us our area will be close later in the evening but we can sit here for now as we still have drinks to come. We asked if we can stay just for an hour and she said yes. As we got our first sips of cocktails, another 2 employees came by and told us to leave immediately. No help was offered and we can't cancel as we just got our drinks. There were no other tables on the other side with umbrella so we sat in the sun. We then continue to open the box and tried our oysters. 5 of them were dark gray and tasted old. This place has lots of potential to be great as the view is spectacular and there's also wonderful live music. However, the communication between staffs can be better and food and drinks can be improved as well. read more

Dock and Drink - Perfect day! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Renton, Washington

Holy cow. This is a Renton restaurant that is outside and looks at water. I was just at the upstairs bar that also looks at water yet has TV's. My vodka soda was $11. When I went down to the outside bar and got one it was $15. Why would there be a difference and who pays $15 for a vodka soda? I was shocked. Save your money and go to Waaaaaaay better places at the nearby Renton Landing. Like why would there be two different prices? Seems fraudulent. This day and age who needs to be charged $15 for a standard vodka soda. I mean I belong to a country club where it costs $7 for the same drink. Is the Hyatt struggling? If so let me know and I'll get the word out so we don't have to go there and spend $15 for one drink. Plenty of other places to sit and look at water in this area. I hope that's not what I paid for. Also. I worked in the bartending food service industry for many years and I should have known better. I dropped a $20 bill on the table and then asked for my change without looking at the bill and he brought over $5. When I asked about it he said yes one vodka Tito's was $15. I would assume he skimmed $4 off the top of what the price was and then I tipped anyway because I'm classy. Been sitting at this place for a couple years working from my laptop and this was extremely unfortunate. Be aware. On to the Landing. read more

Food is solid but pricey. Nice location, although the ambiance has suffered recently. I'll be back regardless!

Came here around 5pm on a Saturday and although it was busy, we were able to find a table for the 4 of us (including my dog). The line was pretty fast and so was the service. We got the salmon nigiri, unagi roll and a tuna roll, all of which were good although my husband was surprised they came in plastic boxes like at Uwajimaya. The half dozen oysters were unremarkable and didn't taste very fresh. Their frozen margaritas are very good! Love that this place is right by the water and allows dogs. Parking in the hotel garage is free on sundays. read more

Service was terrible. Took forever to be greeted at the bar. No one ever asked if I wanted another drink even after being there for an hour. I had to waive a bartender down to get a food order in. Nice view of the lake though. Good love music. The pulled pork sandwich was yummy. Just disappointed in the service really. read more

Awesome view and horrible service. I've made business & personal visits here for the past year. The view of Lake Washington and the parked B737 WIP is spectacular. Very old school Puget Sound visuals. However, the service is completely broken. Let me explain. They seem to be stuck in the pandemic -era service routine. Firstly, there is no table service (apparently). You have to order through your phone, while logged into their unsecured WiFi (which some Company phones inhibit). Every time I've visited, none of us have been able to process an order this way. When servers come by after waving them down typically more than two times, they usually do not return to take an order, or push us off to order at the bar or service counter. And good luck with that. The service counter treats customers like they are felons. It seems like 2020 "distance service" all over again. And it's executed horribly. It's a shame it's run like this. As far as the wine list goes, it's all canned. Beer list tiny. Food practically impossible to order and is delivered in disposable containers. Really sad. But parking is plentiful and free on the weekend. read more

Dock and Drink - Nice view. Horrible service. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Renton, Washington

I came here for the views and mostly that. It is very expensive for what it is. I had a moscow mule and I'm pretty sure it was $15. That is outrageous. Their wines are in cans, they present them in cups but still. Of course, I always expect a bar or restaurant attached to a hotel to be more expensive but that just seemed really reaching. For that reason, I did not purchase anything more from here. You can order food from your table which is nice, but again those prices for sushi are not worth it in my opinion. I didnt find any of the staff particularly kind either, very indifferent or slightly annoyed. read more

Good vibes . Beautiful place and it made our favorite date night spot. Loved the music and people watching. I felt like I was on vacation or a fun party .

I've come to the realization that this place is racist. I didn't want to believe it but one of the white male bartenders ignored me & served a white male who came up after me. He (the bartender) didn't acknowledge me or say he'd get back to me. I wasn't drunk, high or anything else, and in fact tipped him almost 20% on our first round ($9 on a $50 bill because that's all I had in cash.). If you're Black, the views are great, but not the service, as I have been ignored more than I'd like to admit. BYOB and sit in the dock and watch the sunset. #beautiful Don't go to the bar or restaurant read more

Disappointed in the selection of appetizers. There should be more shareable snacks. How hard is it to have some chips and salsa, just chip, pretzels, nuts, or something? There are appetizers upstairs. Unfortunately it wasn't open when we arrived. Doesn't have to be fancy. I ordered the meat and cheese box. The items were skimpy and soggy. The nuts were totally inedible since they were soggy. Not enough crostini for items. Crostini were soggy too. Box needs more thought in pick of items and storage. The olives/peppers made the box too wet since it's paper. Cheese was a bunch of crumbs and a small slice of Brie. Plus no utensils or small plates to share. Just have to grab out of the box like a two year old digging for cheese crumbles to put on your crostini. Really wasn't worth the price. Could have gotten luchables and it would have been better. Finally, we could only order one round of drinks. I asked the bar how to add drinks to our order. He said we couldn't because online ordering doesn't allow more than one transaction. So you have to go to bar and wait to get another round. I don't mind self service. But it's weird you only can get one order and that's it. read more

Dock and Drink - Meat and cheese plate - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Renton, Washington

It's Juneuary in the Seattle area, and that means we get very excited for any moments of sunshine and warmth and  we're especially delighted when there are outdoor, lakefront places to enjoy the rare sunny days. As the pandemic slows down, we're also eager for outdoor spots with wide open spaces where we can get together and have drinks and food with friends again. Dock and Drink delivers on views, outdoor seating (250 seats according to information provided when we called to ask about crowds), sun/shade options, and (if you are an Eastsider like me) a convenient location. The summer time version of Dock and Drink offers tapas, tacos, sliders, fries, grilled cheese, and a variety of drinks. Unfortunately, all of the food items are expensive, small portions, and not super tasty. It's not fun to pay $90+ for street tacos, corn salad, grilled cheese, wings, and two (cans) roses when the portions are so darned small and the food is bland. I am aware of the adage that in places like this you are paying for the view, but come on, how hard is it to offer good flavor and decent portion sizes? Imagine what D&D could be if that was the case. In addition to the so-so fare, the experience of getting your food and beverages is clunky at best. You can either go and get your own, but you have to order food at one station and drinks at another. Are they seperate businesses? Is this intended for crowd control? And the other option is to use your phone to scan a QR code and order from the menu online. In our experience, the latter only works 50% of the time with at least one order getting stuck when we couldn't hit submit and there was no clear path to solve whatever was wrong. They do not take reservations, so it is first come first served for seating. There are adorable blue Adirondack chairs right by the water and lots of table seating, low and tall and shaded and open. The staff seemed friendly and efficient. Development around the Hyatt is pretty packed now that all the buildings are built, but the area is chock full of beautiful plantings and great views. I have a feeling folks living in the apartments there enjoy being there. It would be awesome if Peyrassol, a fantastic little family run restaurant on the street nearby, had an outdoor dining option instead. Their food and beverages are amazing and well worth your time and money. Bottom line, we will likely return to D&D for the lake side seating and a beverage but probably not for the food. This is more of a drinks and snack place than a nice dinner experience. read more

Food was decent. You're paying for the atmosphere and being close to the lake. The menu is overpriced and we had to move two tables together to have our group fit, but overall decent experience. read more
