Came here to celebrate a birthday and get immersed in another world. Inside Passage is in Seattles busy capitol hill neighborhood. Parking can be a wee bit tricky so waking, ride share, or public transit will be your best options. But if you have to drive we found a paid lot a few blocks away While this wasn't the best tiki bar we've ever been to, it did stand out for the presentation of drinks, the cool (and massive) octopus, the immersion, and overall vibe is nice and atmospheric They have four non-alcoholic options which I really appreciated as the one driving for the night! They also have standard as well as unique takes on tiki drinks. We were surprised to find so many options with vodka and tequila which isn't common in a more traditional tiki bar We had the: - "Kiki Premier Mai Tai" which wasn't as rum forward as we would have thought, especially given how many rums it had in it; but overall it was a classic style Mai Tai and tasty with quality rums - "One Eyed Willy" which has a fun presentation in a chest with smoking dry ice. This one you could taste the rum more and overall it was a really enjoyable drink and experience - "See A Light" which is a non-alcoholic option and the taste was just as good as the presentation. Came in a lovely angler fish tiki mug with the light and everything! The taste was complex and something that thought went into creating - "Four Boys" another non-alcoholic option that was the coolest visual as it came in a "steaming" crock pot. The taste was very unexpected, in a good way, and is a drink I would get again Overall the drinks were about a 4/5 but with the charming atmosphere and whimsical presentation it's a 5 star experience that is just fun read more

This place was highly recommended from my cousin who lives in Seattle. So while I was visiting for Emerald City Comic Con, I had to check this place out. First and foremost, you need to make a reservation. I did end up needing to move my reservation up because of scheduling but it worked out and the staff were really nice about helping me. This is a speakeasy inside Rumba, I did not know that going in. It's incredibly cool to walk into the bar. The decor is amazing. It's super small though with a few tables and bar seating. It was kinda loud when I was there since most tables were filled. My server was nice as well and was able to answer all my questions. Ambiance was exceptional and is such a cool place to visit. Most of the cocktails came with fancy show of some sort and were extravagant - and equally delicious. I got The Inside Passage, but there were at least three others I was trying to chose from. There was a lot of thought that went into the presentation of each of the drinks and I love that attention to detail. Since it was around dinner time I did want to order food and drink. They did not have the Kikisoba (they ran out) and that made me sad, but I was able to order the Rumba sliders and a basket of fries. I'm not a huge sliders fan, and I did order the caramelized pineapple on the side. The sliders were incredibly flavorful and the perfect size. For anyone wanting to visit Seattle, I do highly recommend this place. It's a really cool vibe and the food is really good too. read more

Inside Passage is an absolute must stop if you are in Seattle, especially if you love immersive experiences. I have never seen drinks served the way they are here. Calling it a bar almost feels wrong because it is truly a full experience from start to finish. The cocktails alone are worth the visit. Drinks arrive in seashells, custom glassware designed specifically for the restaurant, and even wildly creative vessels that look like custom shipping crates or props pulled straight from a movie set. Every drink delivery feels like a reveal, and you find yourself genuinely excited to see what comes out next. It is imaginative, theatrical, and incredibly fun without feeling gimmicky. The decor inside is stunning. Dark, moody, transportive, and perfectly executed, it feels like stepping into another world. For a tiki bar, the attention to detail is next level and makes the space feel intimate, mysterious, and special. Service was excellent. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and clearly proud of what they are serving, which adds to the overall vibe. The food we tried was just okay, but honestly, that was not the reason we were there. The drinks, atmosphere, and creativity completely carried the experience. This is the kind of place you remember and talk about long after you leave. Even if you just stop in for one drink, it is absolutely worth it. Inside Passage is cool, unique, and unforgettable, and I would go back in a heartbeat just for the experience alone. read more

It was such a fun and cool place! It's like somewhere you would tell your best friend to come and also bring your out of town relatives to experience it. The decor was super cool with the giant Kiki octopus. I love the presentation of each specialty drink. They are so cool you wanna try them all! I love the inside passage drink -slightly but not too sweet. We had a great time! Just remember the key is the drinks, the food were underwhelming except the yucca fries. The drinks were fun enough to make up for anything else. read more

A fun, gimmicky bar where drinks are expensive but eye catching, and fairly well crafted although on the sweeter side which is to be expected at a tiki bar. We sat at the bar and service was attentive. Cajun fries were also very yummy. For a Tuesday evening, it was very crowded, although rumba (the parent restaurant) was not at all. read more

What a fun bar! A friend brought me here and I'm glad he did because I'm a fan of tiki drinks. We stopped by during the week so it was slower than usual. The menu had so many great options and even had the usual tiki drinks. I decided to get the four boys and it came out in a rice cooker! So cool! Definitely need to come back and try other items on the menu. Seems like they sell some of the glassware as well if you wanna stock up on cool cups. read more

I've had Inside Passage bookmarked for the longest time and was waiting for the opportunity to get our butts to Seattle! June is our birthday month and to celebrate- along with booking our Alaska cruise- we celebrated all week long during our Seattle visit. We made our reservations in advance. Although I knew of selected food options for Inside Passage - I asked on their Yelp page if food could be ordered from the Rumba menu. We received our answer in ample time, and thank goodness, YES! I knew there was more of a selection for hubby to choose from the Rumba menu. You can never go wrong with having both food menus readily available! LOL From the Rumba menu- I think we ordered way too much and their portions were generous and food from both menus were delicious! Elevated in flavors and not the typical pub/ bar foods of boring hot dogs and fries. Rumba menu: Chicharonnes $8. Light crispy fare to nibble on with stiff drinks. Jamaican Beef Patty $6.50/ ea One is a good sized- to give you more space in your belly for other tasty fare. Flaky turmeric pastry filled with/ curry spiced ground beef, grilled poblano peppers, cheddar, corn & onion. Very savory! I was eyeballing the Jerk Deviled Eggs- but, picked Caribbean Spicy Shrimp (recommended by our server) $16. The recommendation did NOT disappoint! Lightly fried tail on shrimp topped w/ cotija cheese & served w/ tomatillo avocado dip! And that dip is where it's at!! Jerk Wings $15/ 6pcs. Jamaican jerk spice marinade, served w/ house made ranch. These are some meaty wings! Carne asada plate for hubby. Marinated flank steak in mojo verde w/ chimichurri, Cuban black beans, corn salsa, cotija cheese, & tostones. $21 The vibe is electic. These cocktails are executed with precision. I haven't enjoyed rum in so long. And the rum selection here is perfection. These aren't just served in the run of the mill tiki glasses. You are paying the pretty penny for top shelf rums and the presentation! My first cocktail, of course, the famous Four Boys! Being Mestiza myself and having our rice cooker- our beloved appliance sitting on our kitchen counter- a daily staple in many homes... was the main attraction! Who can honestly say when they go to a tiki bar- my drink was served in a RICE COOKER?!! Jamaican & Bajan rums, mango, rice milk, ube, lime & ginger. The dry ice "steaming" from the side and steam hole from the rice cooker lid- is hilarious! IYKYK Hubby got a few Dinglehoppers. And I grabbed a few Camera Shy's! $23 Charando Blanco rum, Forest Gin, Fuji apple, mushroom, lemon & pine. I inquired about the mushroom- and if memory serves me correctly- it's a mushroom tea? This ingredients in this cocktail seemed like an odd blend. But, I felt the need to try at least ONE! Especially with Fuji Apple! It was so delicious- I grabbed another! As we kept enjoying more- rounds of drinks- we bushed on Yucca fries as well. We felt we needed to take sips of water in between our craft cocktails and nibble on something. read more

Stopped by earlier this week to have an early evening drink and definitely was happy we chose this spot! We didn't have a reservation, but the hostess was very helpful and had us seated immediately. There were booths and other seats available. The decor was also very cute and themed perfectly for a tiki bar! Our waiter was very friendly and helpful when we were deciding on drinks. We were here for about an hour and a half and tried four drinks: I See a Light, The Inside Passage, The Four Boys, and One-Eyed Willy. Each were wonderfully balanced but my favorite was I See a Light! Cant wait to come back here to try more drinks when I'm in Seattle! read more

I'm a sucker for tiki bars and hidden bars, and Inside Passage is both. It is my favorite bar in WA. There is no exterior signage for Inside Passage except for a small neon palm tree. You have to step into Rumba bar and have a host bring you back into the side room, where the atmosphere completely changes. Inside Passage is a small but lavishly themed tiki bar that puts even the likes of Disney's Trader Sam's Enchanted Tiki Bar to shame. It's truly remarkable - from the massive tentacles reaching over the bar, to the custom themed mugs served with each drink, this place is an experience. The price reflects that. These are pricey drinks, but they're pretty unique. From an earthy mushroom-tinged drink served in a sasquatch mug, to a crockpot and even an Amazon shipping package, the presentation here is unmatched. My default is the One-Eyed Willy, which comes in a metal skull served in a treasure chest full of glowing dry ice. The drinks are all delectable too - it doesn't seem like there's a bad choice. Unfortunately, it's also very small, which makes it hard to plan around. While I've always had good luck with walk-in availability, it's a gamble. Reservations get snatched up quickly, so if you have a group of more than 2 people, be sure to book in advance! read more

This place is beautiful! Perfect date night or place to hang with friends. Vibes and atmosphere was on point! The bartenders and server were all so friendly and nice. Server was super chill and answered any questions we had and made nice small talk. Bartenders even wished us a great night and said bye to us as we left. Only con of the night was our server disappeared and went over to sit down at Rumba so we payed with the bartenders. All the decor is so well thought out and intriguing. My favorite decor was the puffer fish lights. Lighting is moody and dim which was romantic and fun. We felt comfortable to take photos in the booths near some cute decor before we left. All customers were minding their business and enjoying chatting over cool drinks. We ordered 3 drinks in total. The oyster shooters is the reason I put Inside Passage on my want to go/bookmarks. Oyster shooters is definitely cute and tasty but for me personally as a seafood lover (love squid, clams, oysters, mussels, crab) it was only giving salty. Still good. I also ordered the only mocktail they had called Unleaded which was fun and yummy. My boyfriend chose the Jet Pilot which we both enjoyed sipping on and was on the stronger side :) Overall the drinks look and taste great and we were pleased. Reservations are recommended however we got lucky on a slower night and were walk ins at 9:20pm with no wait. I would definitely recommend Inside Passage for a relaxing and romantic date night! We had a wonderful night! read more

We were so excited after seeing the videos and reviews to check out Inside Passage. The fact that it's called a speakeasy, has amazing-looking drinks, and such unique décor had us really looking forward to it. No issues with the reservation process -- they do require a $20 per person deposit for no-shows. Our reservation was at 10pm since we were coming from the Mariners game, but we arrived early and they were able to seat us ahead of schedule, which was great! Once seated, we were given menus, but it took about five minutes before the server came by with water and to start service. She wasn't very welcoming and didn't seem helpful when I asked questions about the menu. We ordered drinks, which came out fairly quickly with a nice presentation -- the dry ice smoke effect was fun. Unfortunately, the drinks themselves were disappointing. Mine tasted like pure rum/alcohol. I tried stirring it, which helped slightly, but it was still mostly alcohol forward. My partner's drink had the same issue. Honestly, the flavors reminded me of what I'd expect from a dive bar, not from a speakeasy with such creative-sounding descriptions. On top of that, I didn't feel the "speakeasy vibe" was really there. Overall, I won't be back and wouldn't recommend it to others. I had much higher expectations for this spot, and it just didn't deliver. And the service fee of 20% was very annoying as I like to tip based on my servers performance and her performance was poor. For reference 2 drinks with tax and the fees was $60. read more

This bar is a very hidden gem. It is a speakeasy inside of Rumba. I got there on Saturday and we just walked in and put ourselves on the waitlist. We only had to wait around 5-10 minutes at 10pm to get inside. The staff was really nice and attentive and it had a nice tropical tiki bar vibe. I would definitely come here if you're looking for a cool night out. Staff: Really Nice Sanitation status: Clean I see a Light This cocktail was really good. My favorite out of the drinks we got. It was sweet but you could still taste the liquor in it. The cup only added a unique twist Blue Hawaii This was your typical Blue Hawaiii, tasted pretty good but not too much to write about The Dinglehopper This was definitely a showstopper drink. Very picturesque. It was good, had a lot of flavors going on if you don't like the taste of pure liquor Large Fries (not pictured) The fries here are amazing. It was really crispy but still had a lot of potatoness on the inside. There was some kind of green aoili dipping sauce that was amazing with the fries. My family and I agreed that the sauce made it so much better. read more

Cool Tiki Bar inside another bar (Rumba) We made reservations 3 weeks in advance. The decor is awesome, very well done in keeping with the theme. We tried the Inside Passage - very good and not too sweet. Mai Tai was very good too, just very pricey at $26. Surprise of the night was the Spam Sliders - delicious! read more

I'm going to admit to you all right now, I'm not a big cocktail girl. I love myself a glass of white wine and it's normally what I'm going to go with, but why would you do that somewhere as iconic as Inside Passage? We happened to snag reservations here so that we could take a coworker who was visiting in town. While they've been open awhile, it was my first time stopping in too and I was so excited to finally see it in person after seeing it on social media eleventeen million times. It was definitely smaller than I expected and I can see why reservations are highly recommended (required?) It's dimly lit and the tiki bar theme is hard to miss, 100% on point. Love the giant tentacles on the ceiling above the bar, really ties it all together. The menu is impressive and it's so hard to choose. Everything sounded delicious! I ended up going with the Mohai-Tai because I love myself a Mai Tai and it's IN A RAINIER CAN. How much more PNW can you get?! The presentation was obviously impressive and it was the right choice for sure. We also decided to get the Oyster Shooters because they looked fun, but... I was noooot a fan. It's made with some sort of salty ocean vodka and is definitely reminiscent of seafood. But what was I expecting, right? When the bartender asked how everything was, we admitted to him that it wasn't our jam (very nicely!!!) and he was an absolute angel and concocted some sort of fruity pineapple shots for us on the house as a surprise, so a million stars for him!! I can see why this place is so popular now. Inside Passage will definitely be at the top of the list for bar recommendations when out of towners ask me where is a must stop. read more

This is what tiki bar dreams are made of! Tucked away in another restaurant, inside passage was a total vibe! My friends told me it's pretty hard to get a reservation for it, so I was glad we were able to. It didn't seem super busy to me, but it's also a smaller bar with just seating at the bar and then a few booths. We were seated and walked back as soon as we arrived and the vibe in here is incredible. I really thought I was in a tropical place! We ordered our beverages and everyone got something different. All the drinks were sooo good! I loved mine though I don't recall the name. We also ordered these clam shots and they were pretty interesting. To me it tasted just like a clam with the salty taste. We also chatted with one of the bartenders and he brought us a complimentary shot too, which was sooo good. I wish I remembered what it was! So kind of him Definitely would come back here! It was so fun! read more

Me and my friend always love checking out speakeasies in cities we are visiting and came across Inside Passage which was inside of a restaurant. I ordered the Chi Chi which was vodka, pineapple, lime, and coconut cream. I loved how it came inside a pineapple which was cute. I unfortunately did not like my drink very much. It wasn't bad, except it was way stronger than I expected. My friend felt her drink was overly strong as well. I will say they have really good variety of drinks and I appreciated the Tropical Classics menu, so if the drinks weren't as strong, I think I'd like them better. read more

I am a fan of the whole tiki scene but this place is just ok. Super $$ drinks and cups (if you want to buy). Place is tiny and feels cramped. They don't have any Shenanigan when you order certain drinks. Which I guess is ok since one of my fav tiki bars doesn't either. The bartender was super nice.. he noticed us admiring the tiki cup display and brought us their book of all the cups they have. The server was new and learning. Can't blame him for that. I just feel that if this is the place you work at you need to be extra outgoing . Not sure I go through the hassle to come back here. Having to make a Reservation and give a credit card number. Not worth it. read more

Two girlfriends and I headed north to Seattle last weekend for the Professional Women's Hockey League game at Climate Pledge Arena. Afterwards, we visited several local bars, to include this speakeasy located inside Rumba. While we made a reservation, we would have gotten in without one. The space is small but amazing! We were immediately introduced to the bar mascot, Kiki. I recommend sitting at the bar - you can watch Driftwood Jones create all the cocktails! The drinks are pricey, but the presentation is worth it to a certain extent. Inside a passages is more a spectator event than a bar to drink regularly at. The straight up mai tai was one of the best I've had. While you're there, make it a point to check out the bathrooms. You never know what you might find hanging around. read more

Awesome tiki bar! Its tucked away inside Rumba so when you enter Rumba, ask the host to go into Inside Passage and theyll take you through a secret door. Amazing decor from floor to ceiling including a huge, bar sized octopus (named Kiki!). I ordered their namesake (Inside Passage) cocktail and the '62 Panorama Punch both of which were good drinks. All their cocktails are not cheap though at $20 minimum and above. The presentation for each drink is also a nice added touch! Bartenders were knowledgeable and very friendly. Great environment and atmosphere, I'll have it on my revisit list next time I'm in town! read more

An under the sea speakeasy tucked in Capitol Hill, who would've thought? This is the first speakeasy I've been to and the vibes are immaculate! I came here with two of my friends and the drinks are on the stronger side so if you're into that you'd like this place other than the wonderful decorations! I loved the containers the drinks were in and they were pretty fun to try! My friends and I got I See A Light, Dinglehopper, and Blue Hawaiian. One of my friends got an ice cream I think it was passionfruit flavor if I remember. I was able to finish my drink but one friend wasn't since the drink wasn't up to her taste so the bartender just removed it from her bill. The bartenders were so helpful and attentive to us! I'm not sure if I would come here for drinks again but if you're looking for something cool to try come here! read more

Inside Passage is such a fun, immersive cocktail experience. Most of the drinks lean tropical and rum-forward, with big Caribbean energy, but where this place really stands out is the presentation. Every cocktail comes in a wild, creative vessel--think treasure chests with dry ice, skull mugs, glowing glassware, and even what looked like a mini crockpot. It felt like every table had their own personal show going on. The ambience is incredible--dark, moody, and ocean-themed with a full-on giant octopus hanging from the ceiling. It's like a nautical fever dream in the best way. read more

Prawns were some of the worst I've had. The staff was very attentive, mixing good drinks. I recommend the drinks but stay away from the food. Fries were average, but comparable to what you'd get to baseball games down the street. Sliders were the best thing we had but could be replicated on my black stone.

Yuppy trap. This is one of those places where if you could give negative stars you would. $30 dollar batched cocktails in "$115" dollar mass produced glassware. The bartender even looked ashamed when he shook the bitters into our premixed slurries. We could taste the sadness and lack of effort in each and every one. There's much better tiki bars in Seattle. TRUST ME DADDY..cough..cough..Navy Strength... Heck I'd even go to Hula hula before I come back here again, iykyk. I haven't signed into yelp in 10 years but this place dropped the ball so hard I had to recover my account just for this. Anyways, avoid at all costs. Your Amazon sponsored drink isn't cute, it's lame, and so are you and this bar. Overall: Dogwater. read more

Drinks and bartenders 10/10! But One particular server absolutely ruined our experience. I've never felt so rushed or unwelcome by a server in any restaurant ever. This person kept attempting to snatch our drinks and decorative items away at about 25 minutes in. There was no ask of "are you finished" or "can I take this" just snatching. He also attempted to sit multiple wrong orders down at our table, and then when we refused/corrected they were not ours, his response was "oh okay" and then sat them down at another table. The decor, bartenders, and drinks are spot on and wonderful. But that one staff member really stunk up our experience. read more

I love a super-themed bar! What makes drinks even more fun? Adding immersive theming--and Inside Passage absolutely nails it. The moment you step inside, you forget you're in Capitol Hill and are transported to an underwater wonderland, complete with nautical vibes and a giant octopus named Kiki watching over the space. The atmosphere is top-notch! Inside Passage includes a 20% service charge on all checks - just something to note. We ordered a Banana Daiquiri and an Unleaded Cocktail, and let me tell you, some of their drink presentations are next-level. One even comes served in a rice cooker! It's totally fun to visit with a small group and order different drinks just to see how they're presented. Keep in mind, it's a pretty intimate space, so they don't really have room for groups larger than six. All in all, a phenomenal experience--creative drinks, immersive ambiance, and a must-visit for anyone who loves a good themed bar! read more

My cousin told me about this spot and it made me want to check it out because I like going to tiki bars. Getting to it was kind of confusing but when we walked up to the address there was a sign that it's inside another restaurant. We decided to get The Four Boys for 2 to share ($38). This is the one served in the rice cooker which was pretty cool and different. The drink was surprisingly not sweet, the ube and mango flavor was definitely there. The combination of everything was really good! I decided to also try the inside passage which was recommended by our waiter for not so sweet drinks. Drink was good! Overall experience was good. Wish we had a bit more time to try other drinks and their food but we were on a time limit for an early start the next day. If you like tiki bars, this is a place to try. They take reservations too which I recommend doing. Note: It's super close to Starbucks Reserves. read more

Looking to kill a little time before a concert, my husband and I came to Inside Passage to grab a cocktail. We arrived early enough after their opening that we were able to grab a seat right away without a reservation. The space itself is quite tiny and definitely gives little mermaid under-the-sea vibes. Our server was kind and attentive. We each ordered a different specialty cocktail from their menu (The Inside Passage and The One-Eyed Willy) and the theatrics did not disappoint. What was disappointing was the amount of cocktail for the price - only a few sips and the cocktail was gone. Womp womp! We had already eaten so we didn't try the food but apparently people like the menu and small bites. I don't know if I would go so far as to say this is a "speakeasy" as it is simply a different part of an existing restaurant and is not "hidden". Worth a visit but not my top favorite tiki spot of all time. read more

Got lucky to get reservation for 5pm on a Saturday last minute for 4. We got there early and they are not joking when they say that door opens at 5. We had a few minutes wait but they let us in right at 5pm and right to our table. Lets start with the décor. Wow is this place fun. Nautical themed pictures, art and décor everywhere. The giant octopus on the celling is a lot of fun. So many cocktails come in themed glasses as well. The drinks are expensive and very light on the pour but they taste good and for the experience its worth it one time. We had the Salmon rolls, Papaya salad, Brea wontons, smoked mushroom bao and sliders. All the food was really good. Surprisingly compared to the drinks the food was really well priced. My favorite was the salmon spring roll. Great flavor and not fishy. The staff is very friendly and let us stay 30 minutes after our stay(2 hours for a reservation). All in all really fun for an experience. If your looking to drink not the best place. read more
