Kay is the best!

Great bouncer! Kay is the best! She really helped the guy out! I was so gone and she held the guy down.

Bartender 'Ducky'
Chigo A.

I had a very poor experience at Havana. The bartender who identified himself as 'Ducky' was extremely racist and rude towards me and my friends. Anytime I asked him questions about drinks, he had an attitude and also got my order wrong. He also made it a point to mention that I need to speak English although I was speaking English. The drinks were also poorly made and were watered down. I definitely won't be returning to Havana.

$10 cover at 12:45am? Really? Wow. Most of the time when I'm here (which isn't often) I'm thinking the phrase "hate hate hate hate hate hate" over and over in my head. It's pretty crowded, but honestly a few years ago it was way worse. I think the nice door guy (bigger bearded man) does a good job. He also doesn't let people back in who leave and want to skip the line. That's right, smoker! And guy who went to eat a cream cheese hot dog! Back of the line. Last night we found a spot in the corner by a booth and had an okay time dancing. Exceptions: -Total meat market. Normally I don't mind getting approached (hey, it's flattering) but every single person was a foreigner or from out of town. I don't think anybody is here actually from Seattle. Just a heads up... -Also saw something I never saw before - circles of guys dancing together. This also makes me assume they're not from Seattle because it was jarring. Except for, of course, breakdancing. But nope, just a lot of hip thrusting. -What's up with DJ's only playing 45 seconds of a song? Right when you get into it they change it up. You don't play Billie Jean and Thriller and cut them off barely past the intro. To me, this is also a tell-tale sign they're not a good DJ; choosing the most popular Michael songs ever? Come on, noob. They probably followed it with a little LMFAO. The entrance is in the parking lot of Poquito's, but next time I'll try something else when I want to go dancing in Cap Hill.

Deconstructed cocktail. Maraschino, rum, chartreuse. Yum. SIX DOLLARS on Monday
Trisha F.

Hooray for the 90s! Hooray for total request nights with DJ Jay Battle (last Wed of every month)! Hooray for Havana! On Mondays it is empty, but they have their specialty cocktails for what bars out here charge for a well. 5-6 bucks, I've forgotten now. Try them all! Tuesdays are 90s night-- it is packed and you might get creeped on if you aren't able to tell people to back off. In my experience, though, it is a lot roomier and less packed than some other yucky clubs I could mention. I always have a great time here, despite a $4 cover. Wednesdays are the best, though, because you can tweet your requests to the DJ. There is a large projector screen that shows the requests/tweets in real time, which is an added perk. Bar service can be slow when it is slammed, but you'll get a drink. Great place for dancing.

Final stop on last night's GNO and arguably one of the best places in Seattle to end a night…read more The Nest is sexy. There's really no other way I want to describe it. The rooftop views are some of the best in the city, especially once Seattle starts lighting up, and the atmosphere is ultimately what you show up and stay for. Drinks are definitely pricey at $20+, but I appreciate that the snacks remain closer to happy hour pricing. We ordered the shishito peppers and hummus plate for around $11-$12 each, which felt surprisingly reasonable considering the setting. Staff was suuuuper nice! And after striking out on espresso martinis at our previous stop, we finally got our redemption here. The Nest's espresso martini ranks somewhere mid-tier for me compared to others around the city, but at that point we were just happy to have one in hand. You're definitely paying a premium for cocktails, but the food pricing helps balance things out and that view makes a pretty convincing argument for staying for another round. Come for a drink. Stay because Seattle looks really good from up here.

Service was great as I was quickly led to the bar as soon as I walked in and was quickly greeted by the bartenders. The place has a very fun vibe to it and it was a sight to see all of the bottles and almost elixirs of liquids lining the bar itself. I was recommended two drinks out of the options I had given my bartender. The first was Santiago and saints. It was highly recommended and for good reason. It hit the spot after a humid day and was a refreshing start to my evening. Well balanced, bright, and cucumbery! The second drink I had was the espresso martini and this one was perfectly balanced and creamy! Would definitely come back. The only downside to the place is the price of cocktails. Also insider information I got from locals was to park at the Amazon garage at certain hours which I did for this because it's free during certain hours of the weekdays and weekends.

The drinks are on the pricier side, but the quality, presentation, and overall atmosphere make it worth a visit if you're in the area. The bar staff were kind, attentive, and helped make for a great experience.

Who deserves 10 stars? The Loupe Lounge does!…read more Here is the story. If you have a long layover you can stay at the airport or you can be a rebel and venture into the city. I am a rebel with a food cause and opted to dine at The Loupe Lounge on my layover. Well, that was the master plan but coming from Maui, there were delays and my little mission was diverted. Abort? Absolutely NOT! Being a SUPER optimistic about everything in life, I rushed to make a 5:30 p.m. reservation at 7:00 p.m. I know, it was pushing it but for $150 a person I did not want this opportunity to go to waste. We arrived at The Space Needle and were whisked up to The Loupe Lounge. The host was not sure if they could still serve us so she rushed to get the manager. She must have gone back to NYC Fashion Week because here comes the manager looking like a whole GQ model, super trendy manager in the house! Well, he accommodated us, very cool of him. You're an Angel cause we were starving! The food was packaged to go, it was so delicious I'm super bummed that we didn't get to experience this in person. It was pretty in a box can't imagine what it would have been like in person! Beggars can't be choosers! The meal was fantastic! Caviar was packaged with ice! How accommodating and it passed TSA. Drinks were amazing and Andrea was the BEST waitress! Lucky we had her! Overall, if I'm back in Seattle this is back on my to-do list! Very cool experience and worth every penny! Honestly pretty cheap considering all you get! The drinks alone were worth it!

Old Fashioned - 4 stars Supernova Spritz - 4 stars…read more The lounge at the top of the Space Needle is all about the view--and that's the reason to be here. The drinks are nothing special and definitely not the highlight, but they get the job done while you take in one of the best panoramas in Seattle. The revolving lounge gives you a full 360-degree view of the city, so every seat feels like the best seat in the house. You can see all of downtown, the Puget Sound, and the peninsula across the water as the floor slowly rotates. It's an easy, relaxed way to take in everything without having to move around. Bottom line: don't come expecting craft-cocktail magic. Come for the incredible views, the unique experience, and the chance to see Seattle from above in a way that never gets old.

Needle and Thread was a wonderful (and unique) experience! Needle & Thread is a reservation-only…read morespeakeasy with NO menus! Ahhh! 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.
