    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.

    Very warm cozy environment with a nice selection of wines including Syrah. Friendly service. Tasty bites. Perfect spot for a date or to catch up with girlfriends.

    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.

    Carafe of Pinot noir

    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.

    Olives and charcuterie board

    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!

She recommended a Mezcal cocktail that was a great start! Surprising because it wasn't smoky typical to Mezcal, just perfectly balanced. Exactly what I wanted.

Hailee was attentive and made me feel welcome at the table, which isn't always the case when you're a party of one. Incredible service and an all-around top-tier meal. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Seattle!

    PRE-CRUISE! 4.0…read more A cruise to Alaska is what brought us to Seattle! A day before embarkation, we decided to stay one night downtown, and Purple was conveniently located just across the street from the Fairmont Hotel and within walking distance of several hotels in the area. One of the reasons we chose this restaurant was its selection of vegetarian options, which was especially appreciated by our close friend. The vibe is quite inviting: dark wood and rich décor create a cozy atmosphere, while the tall windows flanking the front and side of the restaurant keep the space feeling open and airy. The bar is definitely the centerpiece of the room, featuring a dramatic two-story circular staircase adorned with hundreds of bottles of wine. We started the evening with a round of cocktails, just getting warmed up for the unlimited drinking that awaited us on the cruise. Our drinks were well crafted and enjoyed by all. For dinner, we had: * House Cut Fries * Beet Salad * Braised Short Rib ~ pappardelle, port cream, blistered tomato and sage * Shiitake & Pesto ~ orecchiette, scallion-cashew pesto, snap peas and Calabrian chili crisp * Bistro Burger ~ pure country beef, sharp white cheddar, crispy onions, black pepper & chive aioli and arugula * Risotto ~ stracciatella, zucchini, maitake mushroom, poblano and basil * Crème Brûlée ~ vanilla bean, turbinado sugar Everything was good; however, the service was even better. Our server was friendly and attentive, and the pacing of the dishes was perfect. Nothing felt rushed, yet we were never left waiting. Purple makes a great date-night spot, but it's equally well suited for gathering with a group of friends or co-workers. It's a lively, happy spot with a welcoming atmosphere; the perfect place to begin a Seattle stay before setting sail for Alaska.

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!
