    drinks were so good. The shaved ice was fire, and the thai drink tasted EXACTLY like the kin len red battered chicken curry. Frose was also good, just sweet and fruity. the jasmine lemon drink was strong and tasted like u would get it from a club- like too artificially sweet. Views and ambiance were really nice, and would have been 5 stars but service was unfortunately rushed and honestly rude

    The pros: Delicious drinks, incredible decor, and in our case, an excellent DJ for a Friday early evening. We really liked our waitress, she was helpful with suggestions, and really fun to chat with. The cons: A bit confusing to get into and definitely comes with an air of "everyone here is better than you." Both groups we sat next to were busy talking smack about everyone there, not the locations fault, but definitely not a fun vibe.

    I visited Firn on a Saturday with my girlfriends. Overall, it was a pleasant experience. My friend made a reservation by phone for a table at the rooftop bar. When we arrived, we were greeted by the host and given badges to access the rooftop. I believe reservations are typically made through OpenTable. Customer Service: I asked the host if we could potentially sit outside, but I was told the outdoor seating was not open because it might rain. This was a bit confusing since there were already people seated outside. Our server later explained that if we chose to sit outside and it started raining, we would lose our indoor table. She recommended that we keep our table and simply visit the outdoor area for photos or to hang out for a while. Shortly afterward, the host came back to our table and asked if we would like to move outside. It seemed there was a lack of communication between the host and the server. As a guest, the mixed messages felt a little stressful and confusing. Drinks & Food: The beverages were delicious. I ordered the Thai Breaker and really enjoyed it!! I even ordered a second one. We also ordered the crab dip, which was served in a hot skillet with chips. It was flavorful and definitely a highlight of the meal. Atmosphere: Firn is a cute, modern rooftop bar with plenty of indoor plants and stylish décor. The furniture and overall design create a trendy yet inviting atmosphere. From the rooftop, you can also enjoy views of the Space Needle, which adds to the experience.

    views of this rooftop bar are amazing! and it was a very cute and interesting selection of cocktails! 5/5 however the price point and service were not the best. firstly, they charge an automatic 20% service fee which is fine, but the service was just not worth that. they don't really feel welcoming or friendly but moreso seem tired and overworked. they did check in frequently but it felt awkward and difficult to continue our own conversations. 3/5

    Lots of tasty bites and delicious drinks. The rooftop view was also amazing. Really nice atmosphere and the staff was super friendly.

    Awesome rooftop spot in Seattle! The vibes are great with plans all around, nice decor, and a pretty rooftop deck outside with a nice view of the city. The cocktails are delicious with unique options. Staff is always friendly! I'd make a reservation if you're coming during evenings or weekends it can get busy.

    Don't know if it was just an off night, but the service was terrible. It was fairly empty for a Saturday night, but somehow we still weren't helped for a while. A party was seated after ours and helped before we were even acknowledged. Even when someone came by, the waiter ignored me completely and instead just looked at my partner the whole time when asking what we wanted to order. No one ever came over after our drinks were delivered so we just decided to not get another drink and just be done with the evening. We were excited to try Firn out but after this experience, we are likely not going to come back. The drinks were fine but pricey. Combined with the above experience, it makes it even more disappointing overall.

    A hot new rooftop bar that's quickly becoming a favorite. Located on the 6th floor of a hotel, it welcomes you with friendly service right from the lobby. The moment you step inside, the chic interior and stunning views pull you in. The vibe is casual yet stylish, with comfy seating and super friendly staff that make us want to stay a little longer. The cocktail list is creative and perfect for a date night or a relaxed evening out. The menu is mostly light snacks, making it a great spot for drinks and small bites. The only downside? Parking can be a challenge--especially on game days--so plan ahead.

    Pretty aesthetics and long wooden table!

    Gorgeous hotel with a beautiful view! Firm is inside the Populus Hotel in Pioneer Square and it's very much new! This is probably the best rooftop bar in Seattle in terms of greenery and sustainability! You do need a reservation secured and it's done thru OpenTable. The staff at the hotel are so friendly and they point you where to go in order to head up to Firn. Their drinks are spendy...however, there are a few drinks that serves 2 ppl. So you split the total price of it. We tried the 'Get Schwifty' drink which has Japanese melon, honeydew, lime, mint and vodka -- quite refreshing and bright green! It is definitely popular, especially on a decent nice day!

    The atmosphere was perfect on a summer day. Giving NYC rooftop vibes for sure! Loved the crab dip to pair with our aperitif, but I admit the Get Schwifty was wayyyy too sweet! I love a sweet drink but I definitely had to water mine down to drink it

    Firn knew exacttllyyy what they were doing opening right before patio/rooftop season in Seattle. And Pioneer Square's first (and only) rooftop bar, no less! I visited the hotel because a friend of mine was in town and was staying at Populus and she insisted we check out Firn. After only being open for like four days, there was a HEFTY line and the place we packed. We got in quickly due to her having a reservation (yes, they take rezzies!) and we were able to order quickly from a sweet bartender. The place itself is gorgeous. Decorated beautiful and the atmosphere is fun and lively and SCREAMING summer. We started by sitting indoors at the bar and got to move to the rooftop space eventually and sunset is THE time to be out there. It's still warm, but the sun isn't blaring in your eyes, and you're getting a beautiful view of the Seattle skyline against the sunset. So gorgeous! You won't catch a lot of water views here, but how many skyrises do you really see in PI that are gonna boast water views..... Not many (if any?). So honestly, this view is STELLAR. I tried an assortment of cocktails and was wowed by them all. The Seatini was a fun and fruity option with a pretty stamped ice block. Loved the hibiscus flavor in it. I think my personal favorite though was the Seattle Freeze, a blended boozy coffee drink that's essentially a play on an espresso martini but boy is it strong. I had literally 2-3 passersby say "watch out, those sneak up on you," LOL and they do! They also have light bites here (very limited menu) but it all sounds delicious. I opted for the Dungeness Crab Dip and it was sooo good. Definitely recommend. Overall, Firn is one of theee summer spots to hit this season for rooftop drinks. You won't regret it!

    Drinks ordered: - Green acres - Letters to the forest - Seasonal cobbler Overall, the drinks are overly sweet for my preference, in an artificial syrupy way. Wouldn't necessarily come back for the drinks, but it's a nice spot to hang out and chat. Food options are very limited. I had outdoor seating on a typical sunny Seattle evening, there's no shade at our table, so we were using menus to fan ourselves and cover our eyes. It's unfortunate because the view of the skyline was beautiful. Really enjoyed the neutral zen furniture and being surrounded by plants. Automatic 20% tip charge on the bill. Driving in this area is a NIGHTMARE, especially if there's a mariners game going on. I took the link and walked, which was a much smoother experience than my friends who'd drove and dealt with finding and paying for parking.

    Beautiful location, beautiful cocktails, firn is a rooftop bar in an unexpected location in Pioneer Square. Located in the new Populus Hotel, a visit during a cool fall weekday was fantastic. The space is gorgeous with a decent sized bar and interior as well as the rooftop patio with great city views (loved both the day and night views). The menu has some creative cocktails, although I stuck with my usuals - a Manhattan and a Martinez served in nice glassware. They have shaved ice cocktails that seem a little pricey but then I saw the ice shaver which is all manual! Food menu is limited but the charcuterie board we ordered was quite good. The staff here was professional and on point, with a good balance of being friendly but also focused on delivering service to the everyone. Firn is a great addition to Pioneer Square, either solo or for a group.

The space is elegant, unique, and lives up to the photos. I also want to recognize the manager, who was polite, professional, and kindly explained that reservations were required. I completely understand and respect that policy. Unfortunately, my interaction with the bartender before speaking with the manager was the complete opposite. As I tried to get her attention, I felt like she repeatedly looked at me with annoyance and made me feel unwelcome. Rather than simply explaining the reservation policy herself, she went to get the manager instead. She had a problem with Hispanics. She refused to engaged at all. The way I was treated left me feeling uncomfortable and embarrassed, especially as someone who was genuinely excited to visit. A beautiful venue can only go so far when the hospitality doesn't match. I would have happily accepted that reservations were required if I had simply been treated with basic kindness and respect from the start. I truly hope this was an isolated incident because the location itself is stunning, and the manager handled the situation professionally. Unfortunately, because of my interaction with the bartender I've added in the photos, I don't see myself returning. Sadly they have a Prejudice bartender.

It also had cranberry bitters sprinkled on top which added a nice touch. My friend asked the bartender to surprise her with a light and fruity drink and her cocktail also tasted delicious. Overall, a great spot but would be better for small parties.

Well thank you to staff who decided to keep it open because there were few other places open! Dead Line and the sister bar next door both have a few tables but mostly it's the bar ambience/moody academia. We chose to sit by the door and people watch. I got a cherry cider and it was good! We shared a salad, the steak arepa, and the pork arepa. The salad they had on the menu wasn't updated but they had a summer salad with watermelon and it was refreshing and great! The arepas tasted great but were pretty heavy, I think probably because of the sauce. But there wasn't really any way to avoid the sauce. Even splitting amongst three people it was a lot- I think it was still good to try, I liked the steak more than the pork, but I would've only ordered one in the future. Highly recommend visiting during happy hour from 4-6 pm for 20% off your bill.

You enter through a vault door in the back of Tavern Law by picking up an antique telephone. Cool right?! Yep. Once they let you in, off you go up the stairs. We were greeted and directed to our table. Because they don't have menus, your bartender will get to know you a bit. Think moods, taste buds, flavors you love - any insights you can offer will benefit you and your beverage. It's quite engaging and interactive. They jot down your order on a coaster which then becomes a keepsake that you can take with you. I thought it was a really nice touch. Very ideal for a scrapbook/journaling person (read: me). I went with my usual everyday state of being - READING! Make me a drink with dark academia, literature, the library, bookstores, coffee, cafes, etc etc. in mind. My drinks were very me! Both beverages were refreshing, tasty, and coffee-forward. The service was phenomenal and attentive. The energy of Needle and Thread is quirky with a variety of seating arrangements, antique furniture, and warmth. Vibey, if you will. They serve food as well, but we didn't eat. Make a reservation and indulge in this experience! Enjoy your bespoke cocktail! Also, highly recommend checking out their website to learn more about the speakeasy and FAQ's. Oh! They also check in to see if you have any allergies. 10/10!

    My recent visit end of August 2026 still maintains that this bespoke cocktail bar has amazing…read moredrinks. However I unfortunately need to voice some concerns about the new ownership. Past visit 2+ years ago the reservation is through Tock. Recently the reservation is through OpenTable so I thought the points credits will be honored here as they are in the OpenTable network, so I redeemed points to discount $8, only to not be applied to the bill since the reservation $15 per person is a deposit and refunded on seating, instead of most places where the deposit deducts the cost of the final bill. None of the bartenders could do anything, and didn't bother raising this to management (probably downstairs at Tavern Law could've remedied the situation but the short turnaround time implied they didn't try). Additionally, when I got my drink, the bartender did not bother taking a second look to see there's a bug. It was deep inside the drink, not at the top, so the bug did not just fly and land on the drink after being served. So it was a bit negligent, especially given they jacked up the price from $21 to $25 in just 2 years. The price increase did not justify the quality, if anything, price went up significantly and quality dropped... The bartender addressed the issue by remaking the drink but the drink was noticeably smaller than the original one. It would only have made sense if I drank a lot of it, but I only had small sip stopped when I saw the bug. The experience was very frustrating overall that I didn't wish to tip, only to find out they added a 20%+ service charge without my consent when I looked at the credit card statement. That is fraud. Fraudulently adding a tip to yourself earned you a 1 star. Otherwise this would've been more a 3 star experience due to the miss from the bug, and the OpenTable issue.
