I think about the Salmon Grilled Cheese far too often!! It's a pairing I wouldn't have initially considered, but it's incredible, especially with the tomato jam. We originally stopped in just for drinks, so the high quality food and snacks was a wonderful surprise. The drinks didn't disappoint. I loved the fruity cocktails, like the Blackberry Sour, and my husband was impressed with the whiskey selection. Whether you're in the downstairs courtyard or on the rooftop patio with the fire pits, it's the kind of place you want to sit and stay a while. It's an ideal outdoor summer spot within walking distance of all the shops, but it also has a nice winter whiskey tasting vibe as well. Only thing to note is their hours are a bit funky, so be sure to double check before you head over. read more

Went to an all girls event here for my first time on 7/25 was in line for drinks and ordered one drink for $13 i tapped my phone to pay but while my friend was telling me to buy another one so we have to wait in line cause it did take awhile since they only had 2 bartenders, the white blonde girl put in her own tip without me knowing i then told her i was charged wrong she told me no it was the total after tax!! How is it $18 after tax if my drink was only $13 so just be careful and check how much they are tipping themselves cause it was my first drink not sure if she thought i was drunk and wouldn't notice. Horrible experience just for that i wouldn't go again!! I was thinking of tipping her but she didn't even give me the chance she took it and tipped herself that's what got me mad, you should never do that!! You can tell that definitely was not her first time doing that! read more

The cocktails were very good. Well-balanced with mixers that compliment the spirits without taking over. The Walnut Old Fashioned was great; it had a lot of depth of flavors. The apps were amazing! The herb butter with the sourdough was salty and spicy and sweet all at the same time. So good! The beet deviled eggs were so savory and had an incredible mustard-based yolk mixture. Last but not least was the perfect elote! It had an incredible aioli with lot of cheese and pepper and lime and pickled onions. It was heavenly! read more

More than just whiskey is served here. This is review is for the food and cocktails Beautiful patio with flowers and relaxing setting. Friendly service We were out and about and let's grab a quick bite to cocktail on a hot summer day. There are multiple choices on the menu and we settled on: Shrimp tostadas , absolutely delicious Boxty potatoes- another tasty choice Grilled cheese with salmon - which must've been really good because my son and his girlfriend scarf down. We all ordered a cocktail or beer, whichever one enjoyed My order was the die dreaming, but I substituted vodka for gin. It was so tasty I had two. I would absolutely stop here again read more

okay whiskeys. Owner is really nice and friendly. I wasnt too impressed by any of the tastings though. no. 1 and 2 were too light and flavorless for my taste, no. 3 was probably my preferred, no. 4 was not smooth - had a lott of bite to it but not in a good way. 5 was weirdly like rice and not my favorite when it hit at first but the flavor afterwards grew on me. very strange, but i can see why it would be some people's favorite. read more

Awful service. We just stopped in for drinks at the end of the night and wish we hadn't. My friend ordered a non-alcoholic cocktail (he is physiologically allergic to alcohol and can tell right away if alcohol is used in his drink). When we inquired with the bartender if it was non-alcoholic (because he could already feel his heart rate increasing), someone else came to our table and said very rudely "soooo are you in danger?!" *eyeroll* not even an apology. They took the drink to the bar and I could see all three employees rolling their eyes. The cocktail had a specific name and it was under the non alcoholic portion of the menu. My friend called it by the name it's listed as and even pointed. I don't know why or understand why they were so offended over the fact that there was a significant problem. The waiter also had the audacity to say "well you didn't say non-alcoholic, and you have to call it by the name it's listed as"- which he did and even pointed to it on the menu. His response after was "well I'm not looking at what you're pointing at when I'm busy writing down the order." Good lord I've never experienced such defensive, unprofessional service and dialogue at a higher end cocktail bar. I wish I had taken my money and time somewhere else on our last night visiting Seattle from out of state. read more

The highest praise for this unexpected find. The whiskey tasting was quite enjoyable with Elsa, and Chef John Leon's dishes were of the highest quality. They were artistic, full of flavor and made with a lot of love and fresh herbs from their hanging garden. We had the beet pickled deviled eggs, the smoked salmon grilled cheese, the burrata tartine and the smoked pork sliders. We finished the meal with the peanut butter mousse and strawberry compote dessert in a tart shell. We washed it down with the Strawberry Negroni. It had layers of flavor. The distillery doesn't look like much from the outside, but it's a whole different world on the other side of the gate. Don't miss this gem. It's a wonderful way to pass the day in Fremont. Our waitress, Sophia, was attentive, knowledgeable and the sweetest. Well done, Fremont. read more

I really like the vibe they are putting out here. Great atmosphere, all things considered. I'm giving them a 3 star because I think they need to revisit their pricing strategy. For context, I came during the Fremont oktober fest, #fokt, so I'm not sure if this is standard, but I paid $11 for a 6 oz cocktail. If I knew going in, I would've ordered a water, but I feel a little played by the situation. read more

Got lost in the neighborhood looking for something to eat and wondered in early on a Saturday evening. Glad we did. Place was all decked out for Halloween, which my wife and I loved. Drinks were wonderful, I had a Blackberry Sour, am partial to whiskey cocktails as of late and this was a nice play on a whiskey sour. Wife had the Huckleberry and thyme shrub mock-tail, both were delicious. Had the grilled cheese with smoked salmon. Which was decadent and delicious. It comes with a side of tomato jam which was a nice condiment to go with it. A bit like a mini side tomato soup. A perfect complement. Wife had the seafood chowder. She was so happy that it doesn't have bacon in it. She doesn't eat red meat and so many places put bacon in their chowder. She let me try it and it was delicious too. The Huckleberry cheese cake was so good too, very creamy. It was more like a no bake cheese cake it was more moist than many baked versions I've had. I love a cheese cake and am a purist that prefers them plain but even with the Huckleberry it was a solid cheese cake. I was, kind of, in costume, it was the weekend before Halloween, and the owner came by to chat with us and let us know they hosted a costume party for Halloween the night before and do the place up for Christmas too. It was a happy accident we ended up here. We'll be back. read more

I stopped by here for the noble reason that I saw the words "whiskey" and "tasting room" on a lazy Thursday afternoon while walking to my car after a haircut, so basically stopped by on a whim. Helana was my bartender and server, and was just the nicest and most helpful person. She served me perhaps the best Old Fashioned I've ever had, and along with a supremely delicious whiskey sour. Since I was drinking, why not have some house made yummy pickles and tasty sliders? I couldn't think of a good reason not to, so did, and they were fabulous! And all the while all the staff was friendly, and the tables socially safe and the view/setting beautiful. I'll be back!! And thank you to Helana for great recommendations and conversation!! read more

Super tasty! We liked the vibe and the drinks.

I'd been wanting to try this distillery for a while so I headed over with a few friends. The interior was very pretty with dark wood, and they had a huge covered area set up as the weather got warmer. They also have a rooftop that is open during the summer season! Their food was amazing, especially the lamb burger. We also got a burrata toast. Their drinks were super pleasant as well: Matcha sour and the Strawberry Rhubarb Shrub. read more

Where do I start first. Service was great as always. Food to die for. Presentation was done very well and not over the top. Food selection is diverse also. The drinks as well were grand. Well done. I will be back. read more

I happened upon Mischief's distillery while wandering around Fremont one afternoon (OK, I was going to Theo). I've seen their spirits for sale in local stores and was curious to check out their distillery -- and the tastings! Their storefront is fairly small and doesn't have a big sign, so keep an eye out as you head down Canal. There's a big wall mural suggesting that Mischief is "just 1/2 block down," but it's further than that, so don't give up! The small shop/tasting room is cozy, but it's full of fun stuff to look at -- not only various sizes of their spirits, but vintage barware, gift sets, candles, and other treats. I really liked the manly gift sets with Stanley flasks, booze, vintage shot glasses, and leather trays or boxes to hold it all. You can see the stills through the large windows in the gift shop. They offer tours, but since things were slow, the nice lady working that day opened up the door and let me peek inside and check out their gorgeous copper stills. Tastings are $5 for four samples and they have a wide variety of spirits to choose from. I'm not that much of a whiskey fan, but I was curious about their sugarcane rum, vodka, and gin, and the gin actually ended up being my favorite -- it has an unusual floral/herbal blend of botanicals that's quite unique. I did try one of their whiskeys, and it was pretty good! You know, considering. I can see why other reviewers mentioned slow service or feeling neglected. There was only one employee, and when I walked in, she was helping other customers and I was on my own until they left. This didn't bother me, but I could see that it would be weird to be left hanging in mid-tasting if the lone employee went to help other customers. However, the lone employee was friendly and chatty with me during the tasting and when she wasn't otherwise busy. I think you just have to manage your expectations or come by at less busy hours if you want their undivided attention. I enjoyed getting a behind-the-scenes peek at how it all gets made, and had fun tasting their various spirits! Even if you're not a big whiskey drinker, there's lots to see (and sip) at Mischief's distillery. Definitely worth a visit for gift shopping or stocking your bar. read more

Great place to stop in if looking to try some different types of whiskey or looking for a fun stop in Fremont. They also have tastings of other spirts as well if you are into others. Staff is knowledgeable and helpful to how each type is made. Loved all their whiskeys but ended up buying their barrel aged gin which provided a different take on traditional gin read more

I had out-of-town guests who weren't into beer, but whisky, so we decided to check this place out. We were biking there on a sketchy weather day, so we couldn't estimate what time we would get there for a private tasting appointment. When I mentioned all these over the phone a few days prior to the visit, Elsa was very understanding and flexible. On the day of visit, she not only remembered me from the call, she welcomed us and made sure we could park our bikes inside the courtyard where we felt safe (A++ on grade sheet by cyclists!). We had a great time there over yummy whisky and brandy Very relaxed Sunday afternoon! Thank you!!! read more

So my wife and I were over at Theo's chocolate and we saw all the signs for Mischief. Decided to stroll on over to see what it was all about. Im not much of a whiskey drinker so my wife only had a few tasters. Overall she thought it was decent and a good value not too expensive brand. Since they are primarily a local brand and only distribute in the state and at local bars, its a fun little tasting experience. read more

So what I love most about this place is the customer service. Our bartender/host talked to us about the spirits, their history, and their process for about half an hour. Granted it was only just us in there, but she was super friendly. I'm looking forward to seeing their new tasting room and restaurant. She even let me in the distilling room to take some pictures of the stills. Wanna learn an interesting story? Ask them how they came across their barrels from Jim Beam read more

What an absolutely delightful experience! We stopped in on a whim yesterday and were blown away by the tasting, the ambiance, and most of all the kindness of Patti. The Whiskeys and Brandies we tried were no joke - and we went home with our new favorite, the Purple Tibetan (seriously if you have a chance to get your hands on a bottle of this complex goodness - do!) and a couple bottles of the friendly and smooth sipping Skagit Gold. We are so excited to check out their new restaurant when it opens - already the entrance toward the tasting room and distillery area transport you to a different time - and I have no doubt the restaurant will be worth a look as well. Thank you Patti for a lovely afternoon! read more

We went on the Soupocalypse tour through Fremont that this chef was the brain child for and we couldn't of had a better time!! We were able to walk and discover Fremont for the first time being new to the area and we absolutely loved Mischief's mushroom bisque and gumbo! Thanks for bringing the community together and helping us have a great date day! read more

Really a review for "Mischief on the Canal" food & bar. Ate there tonight and it was spectacular. The food was out of this world. We tried five different things and all were spectacular. The distillery is a lovely facility, a private world away from the busy city. It was a chilly night but a spectacular evening. read more

Ever needed a place to host a work event, wedding or just a bug ass awesome concert? Fremont Mischief is your spot! In addition to a gorgeous outdoor patio space with romantic lights, a stage and bourbon barrels for tables, this spot is a distillery! Talk about the whole package. I popped by for a tasting tour and loved the space. I could envision awesome outdoor concerts and weddings here. I also loved the product here. There's a vodka, a gin and two whiskeys. And beyond the local liquor (distilled right onsite) there's an awesome room of swag to buy. Shirts, stickers, your own liquor to go, etc. Such a fantastic spot to check out if you're in Fremont. Check back on their website for upcoming events. Word has it they might be doing a concert series soon. Which would be so awesome! read more

Cool little distillery. I had fun going through all the little drawers and looking at all the trinkets they had in them. Some stuff was totally unrelated to their company, but it's all good because my attention span had a good time. Bought a small bottle of their whiskey and it was bomb! Good stuff. read more

My distillery cherry.... It's like walking into your great-aunt's closet stuffed full of memorabilia and vintage posters shrunk down to magnet-or-button size, tucked away in little drawers reminiscent of those that used to file away thousands of ivory Dewey Decimal System library cards. Except this great aunt happens to have one lovely, enticing window into the beautiful world of the shiny German stills populating the distillery space of Fremont Mischief. And she also happens to be stocked with whiskey and wheat vodka....And it happens to be amazing. Only three samples to taste today: the Mischief Whiskey itself, John Jacob, and the Mischief Vodka. Hope you love rye, because that's the whiskey you're getting...and with libations this rich, this warm, this robust, this just-so-sweetly perfect, I see no reason to venture afield. Or into a field planted with any other originating grain. Unfortunately, due to the passage of I-1183, they can't sell the Mischief in the tasting room right now (but you might be able to find it at your local liquor store, at least until March 1). We 'settled' for the John Jacob. Cry me a tiny tear.... I would also note that due to a sad college experience with vodka, I'm typically unable to get near the thing no matter how diluted with any sort of less violent liquid. Not so here; I fearlessly tipped up my tiny plastic thimble taster and sipped a smoothly gentle spirit that I would try again. And again. Excuse me while I go pour fortifications.... read more

Seattle is a cool town for alcoholics. Distilleries abound so that you can buy local in small batch. Mischief has both their copper still and a small tasting room on premises. You can sample their two rye whiskeys, their vodka, and their gin. My favorite of their many witty posters is: One martini... Two martini.... Three martini... Floor I also like: I'm here. What are your other two wishes I also like their selection of antique glassware and librarian card catalog drawer of surprises. read more

As distillery tours go, Fremont Mischief is just ok. Their tasting room is small and crowded with stuff. So crowded in fact, that it's hard to tell what's décor and what's for sale. Feeling reminiscent of my Grandma's living room, I decided it was best not to touch anything for fear of breaking it. While so many distilleries in Washington and Oregon exude hometown pride with their small batch liquors, the owners of Fremont Mischief seem to be on a different page. Many of their spirits are not made in Seattle or even Washington, so it seems odd that their brand tips its hat to Fremont. It's unfortunate to see a company be so overtly finically driven that they have created a façade of local products and local pride. "Fake it until you make it" is a viable business strategy, but it hurts their craft distillery street cred. read more

I love hard liquor and I've had a lot of different varieties - from whiskey and scotch to brandy and cognacs. The only exception is vodka: can't stand it in any shape or form. Mischief is a local business and the family who owns it are wonderful folks. My favorite is their 8 year old whiskey (even though they've only been open for 5 years in Seattle, this one was made in Canada when they rented a distillery down there). Their younger whiskey is also nice but it is very mild and you'll likely enjoy it if you are not into aged, stronger-flavored drinks. Both are made with rye. Many local restaurants and liquor stores carry their whiskey and vodka these days, but there's nothing like buying direct. And yes they can wrap it up for you. read more

Highly disappointed with my 10 minute experience with these rude business owners. I actually didn't have long because I had a chocolate tour soon. So I was walking around with intentions to try it out when I finished the chocolate factory. Walked in with my boyfriend 2 gentlemen walked out and store owner(?) older lady told them good bye and thanks for coming. Never spoke to us. My boyfriend and I continued to walk around picking up items and looking at them. The register younger lady was carrying on a conversation with the only other customer in the store. Older lady / owner(?) never spoke to us still, just went over and spoke to the other customer that was already being helped. My boyfriend and I continued to walk around despite being ignored in this very small shop. Finally we left. No plans on returning. That's not how you get or keep customers. Earlier today I was at copperworks. Highly recommend, owner and everyone helpful and friendly. Instead of checking out mischief go to copperworks! Free tasting and friendly people! read more

Definitely a cool little space with some great local products. Currently, it serves as a small retail/gift store/tasting room, but in the future, I am looking forward to tours, as well as more extensive tastings. You can a gorgeous still in the back through a window, and the place has a lot of potential. As for a free tasting, I tried two whiskeys and a vodka. I really liked the John Jacobs rye, and picked up a bottle on the spot. Will be interesting to see how things develop here, and also for the distillery scene in general in Seattle! read more

$14 for just tasting! And they don't even discount it when you purchase their liquor. Their whiskies are half the normal size (375ml instead of 750) yet more expensive ($50+) than other distilleries - not because they taste that much better, but because they are aged on the ships from TV shows. The owners talked more about their passion for money making than liquor making. Their Apple brandy tasted fine, and others are mediocre at most. I have been to quite a few micro-distilleries and Fremont Mischief was disappointing. There are lots of better ones in and around Seattle. Westland, Copperworks, Woodenville, Batch 206 to name a few. If you are looking for a good NW distillery experience, I would suggest going to one of these instead. read more
