Nice bar. Great experience. Friendly staff. Good place to take a date or have a night on the town with friends

Pretty bar with a lovely view and great cocktails! We got espresso martinis and a charcuterie board which was fun. Total bill was $85 (keep an eye out for surcharges!) Even though the service was good and the view was pretty, it might just be a one time thing for me ‍ read more

Reviews seem to be somewhat mixed among others so I suppose I should note that I have been here three times between 2019 and 2024, all of them early evening around the time they open, which may have made it easier for staff to provide service that is within the range of good/decent. My biggest reason for posting a Yelp review, which I do not often do, is both the price range and the "tip." Cocktails run in the $18-$20 range, which is high even by Seattle standards; the appetizers--which are all they really offer currently in terms of food--are roughly between $14 and $20 or so, some a bit more I think, which is relatively standard. I wish I could be fully confident on the food prices except that I did not take a photo of the menu, and the Fog Room website features several menus with countless items no longer offered, a real pet peeve of mine: how hard is it to update a website? Why do places constantly allow their websites to be woefully outdated for ages? Having rotating menu items within the same price range is one thing, but Fog Room's website has menus for full dishes of a sort they are not offering at all; it is only small plates, which you would never know from looking at the website. And then there's the "20% service charge" that gets put on every bill whether you like it or not: it's very helfpul to be armed with this information going in, as it nullifies any need to add a tip. We were informed that this charge gets put into a pool tip for staff, minus 4% that the hotel takes. My companion added another 4% tip to account for this, which was very noble of her, but my total bill as high enough as it was--one side dish, two cocktails: with tax and service charge, over $70. It could be argued that this is nuts. Except! And I really cannot stress this enough. The cocktails were as delicious as they were beautifully presented (I had two mai tais). And the food was genuinely incredible (my companion and I split the bavarian pretzel and the mushroom quesadilla). Between all this and the spectacular city and Elliott Bay views from this 16th-floor rooftop bar, as well as the interior ambience that was lovely in its own right (if a bit loud once all the tables fill up), I have to admit--this was actually worth both the price and the inconvenience. I just need to find a way to remind myself to expect the high expense and the "service fee" the next time I come back, and to budget accordingly. read more

My 2 friends and I made reservations for 10:30pm and arrived early, and were seated immediately! The ambience of the bar was classy but also relaxed - we really enjoyed it here. We each ordered a cocktail and shared the shoestring fries, the drinks were so delicious and smooth we finished it in no time. I read some other reviews about the slightly pretentious attitude from servers, and we definitely felt that from one of them. We are college students and noticed that we were treated slightly differently compared to the adults across from us. It didn't bother us too much though, as we still had a great time! read more

Rooftop bar at the Curio hotel. We were staying at the hotel and had to pay a non refundable $25 urban fee during our stay, however we can use the $25 as a credit at this bar. The view is nice but mostly blocked by other tall buildings around the area. Drinks were okay but overly priced. Service was really slow. read more

Nice play to go have a drink. The view can be good depending on where you choose to sit. We started on the balcony, the tables were very small not enough room to eat a meal. We then moved inside eating at a couch and table. We were spooked by the man who lives in the building across the way - he had a big Teddy Bear that he was carrying around with him. He seemed to be looking directly at us. When I say is I mean all four of us females. Recommend reservations. We loved the burgers that we ate. We were feeling great when we left despite the bill which was high. Worth a try. View is subpar with a building smack dab in the middle of the FOG rooms view. read more

Prompt service and yummy drinks, what more can you ask for? Had a few cocktails and a pretzel right at the bar, and you can tell the bartenders are there to give great service. Aside from that, great location as far as getting a peak of the water and city all at once. Not pictured, but pretzel was 10/10. read more

I visited Seattle for the first time for a few days! It is a beautiful city, and the weather was great for the duration of my visit. I came to the Fog Room on my last night for a rooftop bar experience. Reservations were required and readily available as I booked one the same day for later in the evening (Thursday at 7 pm). I sat outside and enjoyed the view and weather. I had the Smoking Gun cocktail, a smoky mezcal margarita drink with a spicy kick. Food, I ordered the special of the day, steamed mussels in a slightly spicy broth along with French fries. The presentation and taste were spectacular! I would visit again for this combo! read more

This is located in a hotel and you'll want to make a reservation before going. This is a VERY expensive place to drink. $$$ or $$$$ at least. Absolute beautiful view with fireplaces that brought a welcoming vibe. Definitely will want to return for an overpriced margarita just to take photos against the railing. read more

Refusing entry due to last call 45minutes before close is unacceptable. Otherwise ok drinks and excellent ambiance. No free bar snacks, but I would expect peanuts or something similar to be available to customers. read more

Part 2 of my Seattle adventures led my girls and into this roof top. The main outside sitting area views were nothing to write home about, but on the other side of the venue you had sweeping views of the bay. The main reason why I'm giving this 3 stars is because their customer service as terrible. The hostess was super helpful, but our server and his helper weren't it. Former service industry girly here, I'm super picky about customer service. It took the guy 10 minutes just to bring water! We were only able to get one beverage before last call because it was taking so long just to order. You know we love a good excuse, "I have 13 tables right now". Sir, that has nothing to do with me and my experience. We asked him to turn on the heaters since the wind was ramping up, who needs heat when the server gaslights you into believing they were already on! The hostess came to our rescue and turned on the heaters and fire pits, I know the other guests were happy about it too. When our server brought our one round of drinks I asked for our bill, which was met with a scoff! Tell me why it was still another 15 minutes before we got our checks haha. So, I was right in asking for them when I saw him. We waited another 10 minutes to pay before we walked up to the bar and asked to cash out there. Maybe it was a randomly busy night and they were indeed short staffed, then I would expect other accommodations to appease my wait. That didn't happen. I dunno, I feel like I can get better across the way at Nest. I couldn't even enjoy the vibes, not a single photo was taken! Only go if you have time, we spent 10 minutes drinking and 45 minutes waiting in total. Ambiance 7/10 Customer service 2/10 read more

Kinda nice view....if you don't mind looking at buildings. I love the outdoor fireplace (although seating was booked, but it was a Saturday night) I asked for dinner menu, but bartender told me only small bites from the bar menu. I asked her about the full dinner menu displayed online and she said "that's outdated and we can't seem to get them to fix that". Disappointed. Inattentive service, was never asked for another drink (I wanted to order their Asahi draft beer) and I'm STILL waiting for bartender to cash me out, despite obviously displaying my credit card. Again, it's a Saturday night at 9pm, but not super busy...seats and tables open. Definitely come in the summer for a (obstructed) patio deck view. Was about to tip and sign my check when I looked under that paper and saw 20% service charge was automatically applied. Pretty shady of him to do so. read more

we came there for the first time on New Year's Eve didn't realize there was a new years eve party later. the Hispanic hostess was very rude and unprofessional made us feel unwelcome. she told us we can eat for about an hour and then we was going to get kicked out because it was sold out. After we ate she then came over to our table and told us we had to leave. Little did she know we ended up purchasing some tickets for the night. read more

Opportunity missed - the place is nice to be in - the views and decorum are nice, but the service is poor. Then again, service in Seattle seems to have a dark cloud over it, stressing the difficulty to find talent, but it doesn't excuse it. Problem with hotel bars that ride on the good will of well respected brand names (like Hilton) is they can get away with crappy service because there is a constant rotation of suckers that trust the brand of the hotel. If you want to punish yourself by spending top dollar to be treated like an inconvenience to have to serve you, this place is for you. Masochists, cucks, and chumps are the target demo here. Don't be that sucker. The moment you point out an issue (drink not made correctly, or service is too slow), you get looked at like you're walking cancer. The waiter I dealt with acted like a self entitled brat and that you were lucky to be graced with his presence, while he ignores your table and served you two screwed up two cocktails. I'm a co-owner in a service industry and would fire this brat on the spot if he worked for me. This wasn't an incident - I've been here twice - pre and post pandemic - and both times, same problem. Third time a charm? Maybe I'll find out - I just won't be paying for the drinks should the next time happen. read more

Great views, great drinks, average food, great bartenders, horrible hostess service. I tried to make reservations 3 weeks in advance for the fog room but nothing was available. I kept trying, emailed staff from the hotel with no response back and called. No one was able to help me. So when we checked in on Friday morning 8/7/21 I asked the front desk staff and they told me to check upstairs with the hostess. This restaurant leaves no tables for hotel guests. They don't accommodate Hilton diamond members and they are loosing lots of business turning people away! We went up to the hostess and she told us no tables available and that the bar is first come first serve but it's full so check back later. We went for a walk, came back upstairs and the hostess said sorry, still nothing - while many tables were open and available. I asked to be put on a wait list or walk in list. She said oh yeah of course and added us. Why didn't she suggest this the first time we came up?! We got a text stating it would be 15 minutes. 25 minutes later we went back up and the hostess was busy helping others but the bar was wide open so we sat down there. We never got a text saying a table was ready for us. Very frustrating "help" from the hostess. Anyways, the bartenders were super friendly and efficient. They have a huge wine, cocktail, beer list. I had two different mocktails and both were Devine! My fiancé enjoyed his beers which were all local to the area. We got the charter board which was a charcuterie platter. Very impressed with the freshness and different flavors of the cheese, veggies and meats. We were still hungry afterwards so opted for the thin cut fries to fill us up. Super good and came with a special goat cheese ranch sauce. Must be 21 to get in and they check IDs. Indoor, outdoor, bar and fire pit seating. Make a reservation in advance (if you can)! read more

Had a late dinner at Fog Room on. Friday night. The restaurant seemed popular as we weren't able to get a reservation until 930 pm. It was worth it to eat later than normal. Friendly greeting and great attentive service for the entire meal. Special shout out to our server Amy for her suggestions. Had starters of Brussel sprouts, lamb meatballs, kale pasta & pear cobbler. Everything was tasty & not typical. We'd definitely stop in for a meal & a drink on our next trip. read more

I met a few college friends here when I was visiting the area, and I was very disappointed in my experience at Fog Room. The service was terrible, did not even place a drink order for at least 30 minutes. The food was okay but extremely overpriced. The only good part about this place is the views. Do not waste your money here. Also, they put an automatic tip on the bill which I am normally okay with, but with terrible service I was very angry. read more

Nice cocktails, with a good view. We had booked a patio reservation, but were moved indoors because of the smoke advisory. The inside was nicely appointed, and not too crowded. We had a booth for 4 near a window, which was very pleasant. Cocktails were very good; everyone in our group were happy with their orders (Believer, Remastered, Squeeze Me, modified Stardust, Flying Home). Food was average, though not bad by any means. The asparagus fries were bit overbattered, and I found it odd that they decided to use really thick asparagus spears. Heirloom tomatoes were refreshing, but nothing particularly special. The fries were probably the best item - crispy and nicely seasoned. The special mozzarella dish was probably the most disappointing, with a tiny portion of mozzarella that couldn't cover more than one of the several slices of toast provided, and was also a bit underseasoned. Our server was very friendly and helpful - she definitely made the experience better. 20% gratuity automatically included. read more

Amazing atmosphere. Very friendly staff. Food was AMAZING and unique. The pepperoni bread was definitely not the pepperoni and toast I thought it would be. The outside of the bread was seasoned and crunchy and the inside was creamy and was more of a wonderful Mac and cheese ball vibe. Never had anything like it before. The pasta I got was amazing and not too much or overfilling. My Drink was really delicious and appreciate the non alcoholic cocktails because sometimes I just don't feel like alcohol. The views were phenomenal. Keep it up! read more

Fog Room - Pepperoni Bread and Fog Burger - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I had a terrible experience at the fog room. We came for the good views of a rooftop bar but were seated as far away from any "rooftop view" as possible. Before being seated we asked if we could sit outside and the hostess said there was only 1 seat available outside, but "the seats are wet" so we can't actually sit there. I'm not sure why they couldn't have dried them off before but we just chose to sit inside instead. They sat us in the farthest spot from a window as possible. We were disappointed since there were 4 couch spaces with a much better view, so I politely asked a waitress if we could sit in one of them instead. She said that there was a large party coming that would take that spot (they never actually showed up, and probably didn't even exist). Another couple left that was sitting next to the window so we decided to sit in their spot. The waitress came over and said we were only allowed to sit there for 15 minutes so we enjoyed our 15 minutes and then left. The drinks and ambience were mediocre. The seats were comfortable, but the music was too loud and unbearable. The drinks were overpriced. We thought the hostess, and waitress were extremely rude and profiled us because we are young and weren't dressed like we're made of money. If this place is too fancy for people to come after spending the day at a baseball game and then walking around downtown, there should be a stated dress code. We also got charged an automatic gratuity of 20% when there was no sign and no warning. I've never seen an automatic gratuity of 20% for 2 people anywhere before. read more

I've been here several times pre-Covid, and even during these Covid-challenged times. Each and every time has been a delightful experience covering all elements: food, beverages, and staff experiences. But keep in mind, this isn't going to be cheap eats and drinks. So bring your credit card! Food: the menu is regularly updated and each item is full flavored and delicious. From small bites to the larger entrees, you'll be mixing flavors and textures to your palate's delight. Most recently, on a cold winter night we were greeted for dinner with an amuse-bouche of a tiny cup of sweet potato soup with a thick bite-sized slab of tasty bacon. Nothing could have tasted better in that moment. And, if you have a need for customization of your order, they're always happy to accommodate your requests. Beverages: craft cocktails, old-standbys, and an impressive wine list will help you enjoy your time here and the trick will be to pace yourself as you pair up flavors between drinks and food. Not sure what to get, ask your server for a recommendation, or the bartender to create you something, based on your food options for your visit. Just be sure to end your time with a nice glass of bubbly. Staff: From Christine to Lucas and everyone in-between, the staff is courteous, thoughtful, appropriately attentive but not too much, friendly, and oh so glad you're there. They imbue hospitality and will do what they can to make your time there positively memorable and enjoyable. As to my earlier comment about "bring your credit card", yes, this place can be spendy, but I am in no way saying they're over-priced -- you're definitely getting high quality here. So, treat yourself. NOTE: on dry evenings, be sure to get an outside table where you can enjoy the Seattle scene high above the street level fray. Indoor/outdoor options exist for your enjoyment and the outside gas firepit is my favorite place to be. read more

VIEWS, COCKTAILS, TAPAS (4.5 stars) - classy ambiance (indoor/outdoor lounge) - specialty (fufu) cocktails - good food - pricier than the average At the time of discovery, not a lot of people knew this place exists. It's the new kid on the block. For now, a hidden gem. By summer, just another sky lounge in Seattle. Friday evening, freezing temperatures, very rainy and cold, the outdoor lounge with fireplace was I think open but who was crazy AF to sit there. We ended up finding a table inside. Inside is very classy looking, couch chairs - individual and shared lengths, elongated tables, majority having a view of Seattle. There is some intimacy in the space, the tables aren't too close to each other and other parties conversations are kept in proximity. So yes, good place to sit and converse! We definitely needed that space for our annual catchup session. Wait staff was very friendly and attentive and came around when necessary. If you love fufu cocktails this is a great place with lots of variety. Their tapas menu had a mixture from finger foods to seafood bites and not listed were the specials which were addressed verbally. BANK STATEMENT ($16?) - vodka, blanc vermouth, lemon, lychee rose tea, sparkling rose. light, refreshing, sophisticated. HIGHLY RECOMMEND WHISPER IN THE WIND ($16?) - bols genever, lillet rose, orange, apricot, egg white. floral, silky, picturesque. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. BACON WRAPPED DATES ($8/3pcs) - blue cheese, walnuts. Good but the blue cheese was overpowering and for someone who's not too much of a fan of blue cheese, eating one piece is enough. RECOMMEND. TOGARSHI & SESAME FRIES ($9) - yuzu aioli. Loved their fries! Togarshi and Yusu are Japanese ingredients so this was a new take on French fries. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. BURGER (~above $18) - since this was a special I can't recall the description or price. It was a stacked and juicy burger served with regular fries. The bun was too "bread-y" for the burger and wasn't a fan of it, but the rest of the burger was very tasty. Good seasoning on the patty. But if I could turn back the click I would have continued to order more tapas. RECOMMEND. We had a couple round of drinks and double the plates on burgers and other stuff... our bill was a little hefty for what it was AND they add an automatic 18% gratuity. Is this a trend in Seattle? Everywhere I went it was automatic 18% and up. Overall, cool place to hangout. read more

As I am from the Tri-state I am used to going to rooftops in NY and NJ and having the NYC view. With that said I was not amazed with the view from the Fog Room.

Fog Room - The view - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Being 16 stories high provides for great views of the city in one of the very few rooftop bars in Seattle. It's still fairly new so there are a few kinks to work out but it's totally worth a visit, especially during warm weather. Fog Room offers both indoor and outdoor seating options. Inside there is bar seating as well as comfortable chairs and tables. The outside patio has smaller tables, couches, and a rectangular fire pit with seating around. The inside and outside are separated by floor to ceiling glass doors that can be left open during warm weather. Because of the patio's L shape, it almost feels like two separate patios. During our first experience, we were greeted warmly by the host and a manager and provided a choice of seating on the patio. Drinks were offered promptly but for some reason we were never asked if we wanted to order food. Had to flag someone down to order something to eat. It was a lovely, warm, and mostly clear sky day so we could see the mountains from our table. Fog Room seems to attract a nice crowd of business people and it got busy by 5:30pm on a weekday. Therefore happy hour isn't something they offer yet. Drinks are strong and priced in the $12 to $16 range. Wines by the glass are $10 to $45 depending on your selection and we found the pours to be small. The food options are limited but they offer small bites, raw choices, a few cheeses, and some additional plates. Nothing too substantial in size though so expect to order multiple items. We enjoyed the flavors of the scallops dish but there were only two on the plate so it wasn't very filling. The goat-cheese stuffed piquillo pepper was served cold and presentation left something to be desired. Overall we had a decent experience at Fog Room and I plan to return. I do hope the food options expand a bit once they get into the swing of things. read more
