The crowd before the show
Zelda Z.

Small and intimate, great place to have a drink and a bite to eat before seeing a show at the Showbox. They have a small menu with about a dozen items; appetizers, salads, and sandwiches. The food is good and prices are moderate. The bar opens two hours before doors to the venue, and sometimes you can even hear the band doing their soundcheck. Seating is limited, so don't wait too long to show up or you might get denied entry. 21 and over, ID required.

Kern Music Room which is attached to The Showbox.  So if you come here for dinner on a show night you get in first.  ROCK ON RASTAMAN.

The Nest - Shishito Peppers

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.

Stopped here for a drink and the views. It was a nice day so of course it was packed. However there…read morewas a VIP section and it was open so we paid the extra cost to have a seat and stay away from the crowds. With the upcharge for sitting in VIP we got a glass of cava. We also ordered a cocktail and some bites which were unimpressive. 2/4 Korean bulgogi 2/4 Hummus 2/4 Lobster roll 2/4 Shishito peppers The food just wasn't good a very sadly presented. Our paid drink also took ages to come out. The views are great but save your stomach for some better tasting food.

Came here alone on a Thursday evening and had no issue getting a spot at the bar without…read morereservation. It was an interesting speakeasy to have found underneath the spheres. 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.

Came here while visiting Washington, and this place has a unique aesthetic with creative cocktails…read moreto match. We arrived without a reservation but were seated at the bar fairly quickly. The bartender next to us was incredibly friendly and offered excellent drink recommendations. 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.

The Loupe Lounge - The Space Needle

Great service; loved our waiter. Incredible view. Elevated cuisine; would return for an anniversary…read moredinner.

YOU SPIN ME RIGHT ROUND..! 4.5…read more The level below the main observation deck of Seattle's Space Needle is home to The Loupe Lounge, which features the world's first revolving glass floor. Many years ago, I dined at the Space Needle when it was still home to its famous rotating restaurant. SkyCity Restaurant closed in 2017, and the revamped observation experience reopened in 2018. Today, The Loupe Lounge offers a very different experience, with a revolving glass floor that provides mesmerizing views straight down to the Needle's structure, elevators, and the streets far below. It's a fascinating perspective you simply can't get from an ordinary observation deck. The Loupe Lounge operates seasonally in the fall and closes from May through August. Since we visited the Space Needle in June, the full experience was unavailable. However, we were still able to access the roped-off lounge area for $35 each, which included two cocktails and two delicious burgers. We lingered in the lounge for at least 45 minutes, the time it takes the glass floor to complete a full 360-degree rotation and return to its starting point. It was wonderfully uncrowded, with only our table and one other party in the roped-off area. Access to this section is restricted to guests 21 and older, although visitors of all ages can enjoy the surrounding observation areas. During the fall season, the entire lounge floor is reserved for guests 21 and older. The fall-season menu features exclusive cocktail and culinary experiences, complete with show-stopping mixology and eye-catching food towers. Reservations must be prepaid, and guests select their preferred tower when booking. Each package also includes VIP elevator access to the lounge. Depending on your selection, the price can be quite steep; however, it also includes admission to the observation deck, which alone can represent a $100-plus value for two. Whether you visit at sunset or after dark, The Loupe Lounge offers a wonderfully romantic setting, with a unique vantage point that makes the experience feel even more special. We'd love to return one day in the fall or spring and reserve the full experience.

I LOVE THIS PLACE! I heard about it from one of my friends, had no idea it existed before that…read more It's actually located inside Tavern Law, which was another bar I've been trying to go for a while. They are reservation only and when you go inside, they take you to a door and give you a landline phone to call to have access to their upstairs space. Super cute speakeasy concept. The vibes are perfect, it's a super small space and intimate atmosphere. There is no menu so the bartender will ask you what preferences you have for your drinks and the flavor profiles you like. I ended up getting a pretty good sweet, citrusy cocktail I loved. We only got one round but you can order more and they'll tailor it based on how you liked or disliked the prior drink. Would totally recommend!

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.
