    Happy Pride Month
    Kathryn Y.

    Thanks you again Yelp managers. This time, Lauren P. I would never have thought of this place before. Seeking out Capitol Hill area. Wonderful place with cool vibes. Lovely service and air conditioning. So stoked to come visit. And of course drink wine. Messaged my best friend immediately that we need to come back here. Small food menu and loads of wine. Do it and go on an adventure. SYOY.

    A great wine bar in the heart of cap hill. It was pretty quiet when we went but no doubt they get good foot traffic. I really enjoyed the ambiance and they use very nice wine glasses. The wine was good and I also enjoyed the photo slides of past events they've hosted and attended. Our server was very nice, I felt as though they were part of our group and found myself chatting with them a lot. I would love to come back here and would definitely consider hosting an event here in the future. The playlist was also fire

    Footprint is unlike any wine bar I've been to. They have a variety of wine on tap and each one that I've tried has been nice, fresh, and slightly chilled. This was my second time going and both times the employees were friendly + knowledgeable about the wine. I had such a fun time learning about different flavors and grapes. The environment is chill and quiet, which is surprising because it's off a pretty busy street in cap hill! Highly recommend.

    I am beyond ecstatic over Footprint Wine Tap on Capitol Hill. I have been wanting to check it out for several years since it opened. Like a good wine, time only allowed it to age to perfection. This business checks off all the boxes for me: - LGBTQ+, Black AND Asian-owned: Check! - Welcoming, warm ambiance with a variety of seating options: Check! - 30 unique drink options not only from sustainable kegs but also ranging from wine to cider to kombucha--there's something for everyone: Check! - All the beverages are produced locally, but also a couple are made by the owner himself: Check! - Service is always friendly and knowledgeable: Check! - They offer small bites that pair perfectly with their drink options: Check! Our crew began with wine tasting, to then by the glass pours, and then ended our night with cider. We all were particularly fond of the 2022 Pride Rosé, Grenache and Cherry Cider. It is no surprise that when I left it was standing room only.

    Lovely service and great vibes in here. We were able to taste a couple wines before choosing and the person working was very helpful and friendly. We had the place to ourselves and had a very cute and quaint corner to enjoy our wine. The carafe of Pinot noir was enough for about three wine glasses worth and was of great quality! If you have time, take a look at all the art around the store, such beautiful shots of local mountains, lakes, and waterfalls. Overall, a great quiet place to enjoy a glass of wine!

    Excellent place for wine tasting and overall atmosphere. The owner/sommelier gave great recommendations. Will definitely be returning!

    If you're looking for a great evening to sip some wine and take care of some business, or even just meet up with some friends and have a glass or two quite frankly, this wine tap is amazing. Not only is the staff, friendly and courteous. They're also very knowledgeable and they know how to listen. If you tell them what you're looking for they can pair your desires with the best wine suited for you! They have a lovely assortment of food items to complement their vast array of wines, they even have a lavender mimosa that was phenomenal!

    The wine was great. The bartender was super nice even while being slammed and on his own. The neighborhood is very LGBT+ friendly, pride flags everywhere. Only reason for the 4 stars is the charcuterie board was only okay. But I would go back for drinks, just not food.

    I've been here twice now and it's fast becoming one of my top spots in Seattle! They have delicious wine (yes, originally I was suspicious of the idea of wine on tap but its honestly no different to wine by the bottle!). You can also purchase growlers to take home which a really reasonably priced. I highly recommend the flight - three wines of your choosing and the charcuterie! They were very accommodating when it came to my food intolerances, offering more meats instead of cheese and gluten free crackers. They are also gay, Black and locally owned! The first time I went there I met the owner who was lovely and seemed genuinely happy meeting customers! I highly recommend anyone visiting or living in Seattle to go here!

    Cute little wine bar in capitol hill! It also amazing that they take extra steps for sustainability efforts. Even though I was not impressed by any wine in particular, our server was super attentive & helpful and when in doubt, you can pick & choose different wines for your tasting flights. Highly recommend this place.

    Charcuterie board - must try!
    Maddie K.

    I visited Footprint Wine Tap last weekend and had such a great time! Ken is such a great host and very knowledgeable about the different wines that are on tap. I thought the concept of reducing our carbon footprint with different ways to bottle wine was such an amazing idea. The environment was so relaxing. We stopped in before beginning our evening and just had a fantastic time. The charcuterie board and house made goat cheese spread is a must try! If you are looking for great wine, great snacks, and an engaging host, this is your spot!

    I rarely leave one-star reviews because I usually choose places I genuinely enjoy--but this…read moreexperience was beyond irritating and disappointing. This used to be one of my favorite spots at Pike Market. For years, I made it a tradition to bring out-of-town guests here. Over time, I have brought more than 100 people here. It had a charming, warm, and welcoming feel--like a hidden gem in the city. It oozed with kindness and fun. Unfortunately, that has completely flipped! Since the new manager, Anthony, took over, the entire atmosphere has shocked me. What was once inviting now is rigid, cold, and unwelcoming. The biggest issue, however, was the way I was treated. The interaction felt unnecessarily rude and dismissive, which was both surprising and disappointing given my long history with this place. Great establishments are built not just on food or ambiance, but on how people are treated--and that piece is clearly missing now. It's especially unfortunate because the rest of the team still shows glimpses of what this place used to be. Jordon, was genuinely kind and pleasant, but one positive interaction couldn't outweigh the manager's miserable attitude. It's hard to see a place that once felt so special lose its charm like this. I know the winemaker Paul is a great person - so it is hard to leave such a terrible review, but at the same time, if this was my place -- I would want to know what was happening behind the scenes at my establishment. I truly hope leadership reflects on how customer experience is being handled moving forward. Don't give money to places that have toxic attitudes and are joy crushers! Life is too short and far too precious! In the meantime, there are many nearby spots that consistently deliver both quality and incredible hospitality. Skip this place, and instead go to Browne Family Vineyards Tasting Room, The Lonely Siren, The Pink Door, Place Pigalle, or Maximilien. Those places are working very hard to create an exceptional experience!

Amazing wines, creative cocktails, solid snacks, great service and even games. You could wander in "for one flight" and somehow emerge six hours later wondering where the time went (in the best way.) On the wine side, they offer several thoughtfully curated flights, or you can build your own adventure. Which I highly recommend. The dessert wines alone are incredible, and the selection of aromatic whites is seriously impressive. No matter your palate, there's something here that will make you pause, sip again, and nod approvingly. And then there are the wine-based cocktails that deserve their own standing ovation. A wine tasting room doing cocktails this well is rare. We tried the Espresso Martini, the French 125, and the Lavender Lemon Martini, and every single one was better than I expected grape-based cocktails to be. Like, pleasantly shocked. Bottom line: if you're anywhere near Pike Place and enjoy wine (or cocktails, or fun, or all of the above) this place is a must. I can almost guarantee it'll become your new favorite spot.

Meghan was in town though, and she found a lunch reservation. I was so nice to catch up in such a nice environment. The entrance is down a nice alley with a pink door. We sat in a room with a full wall of windows that looked out to Elliot Bay. We started with beverages. I had the watermelon margarita with tequila, freshly pressed watermelon, triple sec, and lime. It was yummy, light, and refreshing. It has a perfect balance of watermelon/ citrus/ sweetness. Meghan had the patio poppin' with vodka, Aveze, Prosecco, strawberry, and lemon. We know how I feel about a coup glass. The drink was good, but I am not a fan of vodka in my cocktails. I prefer a tequila base. We had the arancini which came with fried rice balls stuffed with caciocavallo, mozzarella and served atop a spicy Calabrian chili sauce. This was the moistest arancini I've ever had. Normally I'm not a cheese stuffed item person, but this one was a solid choice and solid execution. These are popular for a reason. The sauce is similar to a vodka sauce, and it was so yummy I could have drank it. As we walked in, we saw a few boxes of gorgeous heirloom tomatoes. As a result, we decided to get the caprese salad. The caprese came with organic heirloom tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, torn basil, ricotta salata, first pressed olive oil and Sicilian sea salt. I wish that there was more basil personally. This dish comes in two sizes: small= 3 slices of tomatoes and large= 5 slices. The dish was a good caprese, but I feel like it could have been leveled up by a fancier olive oil. The inclusion of flaky salt was a great call. Meghan and I split two mains that way we could sample more things. It came with fresh spinach pasta layered with besciamella, pesto, and topped with marinara sauce. I feel like it would made more sense to put a pesto on top of the lasagna, but that's my personal take. I to understand why they did marinara though. I love a pesto lasagna though, so there was none leftover. I thought it was kind of a small portion, but that's just me. For the second main, we had the bolognese. It came with a slow-simmered meat sauce and Parmigiano-Reggiano. Normally, pappardelle isn't my favorite pasta shape because it can be so thick. This one however, was paper thin. The sauce was creamy which actually worked so well. I wish there was more sauce, but I always think that. As a sweet treat, we had the strawberry shortcake with local strawberries, freshly whipped cream, and aged balsamico drizzle. The shortcake was served warm which was a great call. Perfect amount of strawberries. The shortcake is more of a biscuit than an actual angel food cake. Great meal all, and I would go back. The staff was kind, friendly, and attentive.
