This place has a great drink selection and it's definitely a change of pace to "hop vine" which is down the street. I didn't try the sushi and so I won't comment on the food. The service was good but I found that since I was with three friends we ended up shouting at each other due to the weird layout of the sofas. All in all; I'd go here again if I was only with one other person. read more

A whisky bar that also serves delicious sushi! How can you resist? Sexy lighting, interesting artwork and a nice selection of seating options from cozy couches to a leather banquette dotted with two-tops and of course the bar. This place has a great neighborhood feel, I always am instantly at ease the moment I walk in. I had sushi here for the first time this week and our group went through five rounds of sushi, that's how good it was. The Joe's hanoo roll is a must-order: a califonia roll topped with salmon and some fabulous aoili. I also recommend the alaska roll which was addictive, the salmon just melts in your mouth and makes you go weak at the knees. And don't forget the poki, chunks of raw tuna and cucumber dressed in sesame oil on top of a bed of seaweed that isn't simply for presentation. I'd eat a bowl of that seaweed by itself. read more

I believe I have just discovered proof of Parallel Universes! Could these malcontents possibly have been in MY Liberty? I am now convinced that SOMEwhere, there is a another bar, with the same name, that is less than perfect. To our great benefit, Our universe still has this great joint to visit. This is a Very friendly bar. On occasion, a server/bartender may be waxing poetic with someone other than yourself, but overall, I much prefer that to surliness. Even the owner will hang out with you when he's not chatting up some of the local talent. I can tell you, without reservation, that your fears around what kind of sushi you'll find in a Capitol Hill bar, while certainly not unfounded, are unwarranted at Liberty. I've tried quite a few of the rolls & sashimi plates & salads & whatever you call them and I've never been disappointed. I do have some favorites, but you'll have to ask me later as I've never been good with names. The bartender is truly a cocktail techie/geek. This guy knows way too much about mixed drinks, how why, where & when your bourbon/vodka/etc. was created and a vast amount of alcohol trivia. He is GOOD at it. Are there any cons? Sure. The owner didn't ask my advice on decor and a vast array of other things, but in the end they're inconsequential. Do I recommend the place? Absolutely. UPDATE: They're now serving Stumptown Coffe from Portland, which is good stuff! (I'm a MAJOR Vivace fan, so coming from me, that is a significant compliment.) Coffee service stops in the afternoon. read more

Everyone in here was super nice and friendly. A cute couple (Scooter and.. Greg?) and their dog Barney stopped me right as I sat down to compliment my hair and glasses. Nice. We got here around 10:45 am and I really wanted sushi for breakfast (don't judge me) but sushi doesn't start til 11:30. While waiting, the boy ordered himself a Japanese whiskey from their large selection of whiskey and bourbons, and I got a bloody mary. Their bloody mary mix is made there fresh and is mindblowingly delish, and came with two house pickled green beans (delicious and crisp) and a spring of rosemary. I was mildly disappointed to have to ask for olives, which personally I think should go without saying, but the bartender was incredibly nice about it. By the time I finished, it was sushi time. We got sashimi tuna, nigiri tuna, and the 15h Ave roll. The nigiri and sashimi were insanely high quality and delicious, but the 15h Ave was just meh. I would definitely go back, and I will! They had a great vibe and so many special maki rolls I can't wait to try. Nomnom nom. read more

This should be more like a three and half stars. I want to like Liberty more, but my experiences have been so-so. The sushi - good at happy hour prices. Yes, it's fusion. But for fusion, it's OK. Let's just say it's not the worst of the edible sushi I've tasted. I would not pay full price for it. The drinks - good when sticking to the standards. I've had a properly made Old Fashioned here. That they have a great, great selection of whiskey goes without saying. The bartending itself... well, let me share a story with you. I had downed my standard Old Fashioned and was ready for something more savory. I asked the bartender to make me something spicy with mezcal, since none of the mezcal cocktails on the menu sounded good to me. Think bloody mary-style, I told him. What did I get? Something with mezcal (OK, good), carrot juice (um?) and not at all spicy (listen harder, please). It was odd. It was not at all what I had been thinking of. Bartender failed advanced test. So in the end, I'm happy to go here if a friend particularly wants to, but I don't go out of my way to patronize Liberty. read more

Okay, i just went back and sat at the bar. This is the best bar on the hill. The bartenders are super friendly and hilarious. The drinks are stellar and its fun watching the bartenders do their thing. If you're friendly they will just start giving you some free samples/shots. Great time, great atmosphere, great drinks! read more

Since I've moved away from Seattle I've learned of these very odd, gaping holes in places I'm written reviews of. For instance, Liberty. I think Liberty was the first bar I intentionally went to in Seattle. It was a good intentional pick! I think honestly, the best thing at Liberty is the people. Keith just agreed to host a bigger meetup for me this weekend (I'd done smaller ones before), and was super accommodating. He had extra staff come in just in case we had a big group (and when we didn't, he didn't mind). Everyone was really happy to make drinks, and very friendly. Another time I was in, my friend Eric and I were trying to pick cocktails for his wedding. Andrew made us three different ones to try, and they were the best ones of the night (we went to about five bars explaining to people the situation). Of course, the drinks are great. I'm really partial to "The Point of No Return" which is basically an extra-fancy gimlet with rosemary and absinthe and fire. They also had a special drink one night that was a spicy margarita that I really liked. it's also a really comfortable places- I like all the couches, it isn't too loud, I'm always happy whether I'm in a group or with just one other person. Definitely take the time to check it out, and definitely consider them if you want to have a small event. read more

I'm sorry Liberty but i just wasn't that impressed.... you serve food late into the night, one star. your service was great, one star. sadly the sushi is awful. minus one star. the decor is bland and unoriginal. minus yet another star. and finally the drinks we ordered were b-a-d. Everyone in there seemed to be having a great time and I think the place has a lot of potential. Perhaps i came on and off night...but with all the other options in this city its unlikely that I'll give it another shot. read more

Probably the best bar in Capitol Hill - easily the best on 15th. - A bro free zone, amazing, friendly staff and a great atmosphere - Cocktails are taken seriously and prepared meticulously - Service can sometimes be slow during busy periods, don't expect abrupt prompt service, get your drink orders in early and kick back and enjoy the atmosphere and conversation - Great, fresh and imaginative sushi Please don't come here though, it's our little secret. read more

Great hipster bar feel with amazing drinks. Surprisingly good food as well! I am such a sucker for seared salmon sushi, so that is the roll that we got here. It was amazing, and worth the price. They say it takes extra time for the seared salmon but enjoy your drinks and it is worth the wait! The portion size was great as well. We just got one roll for an appetizer, but you could easily have an entire meal here. I would say their prices are pretty average for both drinks and sushi. We loved that they had couches, it was a very comfortable setting to have a good conversation. They had a pretty great alcohol selection and a variety of custom drinks. We will be back for sure! read more

Always packed, Liberty offers serious cocktails and sushi. Ok, so the concept of sushi + cocktails seems so 90s and overplayed, but Liberty does well on both without feeling trendy or passe (I still have nightmares about Dragonfly in Dupont Circle in the late '90s...). Liberty is one of the few places where you can try barrel aged cocktails and the two I tried were both delicious, esp an old fashioned with cachaca. Barrel aging definitely helps to mellow out stronger liquors, so it did wonders with the cachaca! Sticking with the old fashioned theme, tried a traditional one with bulleit rye, which was solid. There is a great selection of liquor here, including quite a few Japanese whiskeys, Only downside is that it gets very crowded, so it may take some time to get your drink. But it will definitely be worth the wait! read more

Kick-ass sushi, killer drinks, and excellent service to boot. We accumulated a group of about 15 people here on a bitter cold Saturday night and had a blast. Our server was awesome and somehow remembered everyone's faces AND drink orders. She was able to close out my drinks, even though everything was on one tab, which I really appreciated. The smoked salmon sushi was pretty fantastic and the seaweed salad was fresh and light. My only beef (er, sushi?) with the place is the seating can be a little dicey--most of the booth seats kind of tip forward, which is good for keeping you sober enough from slinking down to the floor, not great for comfortably sitting back with your cocktail. read more

GET THERE!!! If I could give this place more stars I would. My husband and I both had a couple of cocktails and shared a sushi roll. All of the cocktails we had were outstanding. Their cocktails are made from scratch, and you can tell the details matter here. The sushi roll was delicious! Friendly, talented, and knowledgeable staff. Such a fun environment that also has AMAZING food and drink to pair with it. If you like quality, you will not be disappointed. read more

Incredibly personal service. I've been getting more and more curious about whisk(e)y and this seems to be the place to ask about it! I wanted to try a single malt scotch and just asked about what they had, they brought out a tasting tray (on the house) and i ended up selecting the less peaty of the 4 (i'm not a big fan of drinking camp fire smoke) and i was STOKED! Okay, so there's this sushi roll that they have... From what i can gather, it's pretty.... americanized, it's got a lotta SAUCE on it. it basically tastes like candy and my gurl and i LOVE it! it's named after SOMEone..... Joes Hanoo Roll, that's it! it is soooo stinkin's good, it's a bit more expensive, but SUPES worth it. thanks liberty! read more

As a resident of the awesome street that is 15th ave, Liberty is my ultimate favorite bar/cafe/restaurant. First off, it's never as crowded as Victrola during the day. There have been countless instances where I've gone to Victrola to study or do some work on a Saturday/Sunday, only to return home because I cannot find seats!! Second, they have Stumptown Coffee, which- let's be honest, is so much better than Victrola roasting. Third, it's a bar! But this is a special bar. They have all these SPECIAL bottles created by the owner/bartender, and they are amazing. I went there with my roommates Andrew one time, and the bartender gave us drinks that he personally created! We had fun trying to come up with names for the drink (I named it table tennis). Fourth, after 4:00pm, they serve Sushi. What?!?! Sushi? You might say this is random, but I LOVE the variety of this place. Who says a cafe cannot be a bar and a bar cannot be a cafe and a restaurant at the same time? The owner (his name is Andrew) got creative with this place, totally pimped it out with an incredible collection of alcohol, the best coffee in Seattle, and icing on the cake- SUSHI. YUM. Go there...lounge, take advantage of the wifi, get happy. read more

Oh please! It's not like there was any reason for your ignoring me. One customer was there, already sipping on his latte, and you were behind the counter, acting like it was, like, WAY too much trouble to bother with me. So I asked a question, and, still feeling like you thought I must be the dregs in an old coffee cup, I left to where I knew I'd have better service: Cafe Ladro, a few steps away. 'Bye! Perhaps they should close the morning part of their business, and stick with night life? I recommend you avoid this place before noon. read more

Liberty Bar, what a fine establishment. Definately stop by. The owner, Andrew, is very cool, very hospitable, and very generous. Rob, one of the bartenders, is one of the most knowledgable I've ever met. I sat on a very comfortable couch, ordered a sidecar to drink and a "fishface" sushi roll. The roll was excellent, fresh, and the sidecar was like no other. Where else can you get a great drink and sushi every day until 2am? read more

Good drinks, decent sushi, decent service, great location. The couches (oddly-proportioned though they may be) invite sitting back with friends and chatting. Or rather ... SHOUTING!! My biggest complaint about Liberty is the music -- this clearly isn't a dance club (there's exactly zero square inches of dance floor) so why is the music so insanely loud? It's not that I expected the bar to be quiet at 9pm on a Friday night, but the music was so loud that conversation was almost impossible. My friends and I shouted at each other about art and social media -- it just didn't feel quite right. For a place with loungey seating, they crank the music at very non-loungey decibels. Even worse? The music was not at all right, given the scene and crowd. Bad tunes + too loud = me going to 22 Doors next time I want to talk while I drink. read more

I went to Liberty less than a week ago. That was my second time there. Very inviting atmosphere. Nice full bar. Good and friendly servers. Tasty drinks (some of them were pretty strong.) That's pretty much everything you need for a nice night out. PLUS, They have sushi! (Yes!) Their sushi was not so great, but It was pretty good for a drinking snack. All I can say about the place is... "I'll definitely come back soon." read more

Do not come here for the sushi, just come for the drinks. Very cool selection of cocktails, and there was some sparkling wine/lemon/vodka concoction that was delicious. Like the tropical flower on top, nice touch. So since they have a Hawaiian flower on my drink, I suppose they decided to extend this theme and offer sushi....well, I have to agree with Michelle's review, it does seem like an afterthought. The ambiance does not suit sushi, American new or even basic bar food would be better. The Red Roll and a special of the day were just not good, hands down; the Hanoo Roll was good, but it was basic. I guess Seattlites are just snobby about sushi (including me). And the service was slooooooooooooooooow. To sum up: cool atmosphere, great drinks, but seriously, don't get the sushi. read more

Walked into this lovely establishment and my goodness it's so adorable and cozy and probably an awesome spot to kick back with a few buddies and drink whiskey and talk about life. Literally fell in love with the atmosphere of this place. BUT the sushi my boyfriend ordered literally took like 40 minutes to get out to us. We weren't sure if they forgot us and then were like oh yeah someone ordered sushi and then brought it out? We tried looking around and NO ONE else had ordered sushi. Maybe because it was closer to close or something but the fish was not fresh.. we left about half of order on the table when we left. Cool for drinks, won't be back for the sushi. read more

Liberty - Atmosphere is so cozy! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

By far my favorite bar in Seattle. From the service to the atmosphere, you just feel welcome and instantly at home. Whisky aficionados, you MUST try the Black Walnut Old Fashioned. read more

Took my little brother here for some drinks and sushi. The menu is a full on novel with all the liquor you could dream of. Bartenders know what's up. Definitely can't wait to go back to try more. Sushi was fresh, beautiful, and absolutely delicious. The Tuna sashimi was the fattest slice I have ever had! The service and ambiance were great. Cannot wait to go back, definitely recommend it to anyone who loves good sushi and am even greater alcohol. read more

If I was yelping about Liberty 5 years ago when I first started patronizing them, it would have been 5 stars easy, heck 2 years ago as well... but alas, nothing stays the same. The latest wait staff are not the most attentive, unless you are good friends with them. Sometimes getting a check can take longer than ordering a drink. Do you want me to pay, or is this on the house...? Even the sushi chef's aren't as good as they used to be. The quality of the fish hasn't changed, I find it to be absolutely fantastic. Sushi comes down to quality of ingredients and preparation, and Liberty is lacking in the latter. I will wait a few more months before going back... I hope that things will change yet again, this time for the better. I still have a spot in my stomach for them that would literally have to be filled with concrete to get me to stop trying Liberty. Too many good memories and great dinners here to just completely give up on them. But time is running out, the concrete is setting. Change my mind before it's too late! read more

There is nothing bad about this place. They have great sushi with a varied selection, and the best drinks in town. If you want to get some work done and a drink, I recommend going on a weekday from 4pm to 6pm, before it gets busy, but during happy hour. My favorite: Point of No Return. Just go try it. read more

Like many have already stated, my companion and I did not pick Liberty as our first choice for sushi. Who thinks of a whiskey joint and goes "Wow, they must have great Nigiri?" - needless to say, we came upon Liberty serendipitously because a certain high-star sushi joint nearby had a 25 minute+ wait time. We were placed on one of the couches (unique, if not a bit odd) and greeted promptly and joyously by Gina. She was patient and knowledgable despite having an obviously full section and a packed house. She was so kind when we were 'those guys' and wanted to move to a table when one opened up later in our evening. On our first trip we picked a chefs choice $30 sampler and, hot damn, were we absolutely blown away. The sushi was fresh and it was diverse (not roll after roll of tuna). We found a roll we absolutely loved (pro tip: The wax-on roll with salmon and lemon is absolutely worth the up charge. Don't miss out on it) Our second time dining with Liberty, our lazy asses ordered from post mates. Another chefs choice with a wax on roll + salmon and lemon. Again, diverse, fresh and delicious. And our third time dining with Liberty was a mere five hours ago. Once again, Gina was there, smiling and attentive, even when she was busy and we were dawdling on making a choice. Creatures of habit: chefs choice and a wax on roll with salmon and lemon. This time, heaps of nigiri, which was a surprise and helped us be a little more adventurous (even if one of the nigiri was REALLY fishy). - The Moscow Mules were served in beautiful, crisp copper mugs and were delicious as well. The whiskey choice is large and I look forward to coming back here to try a flight or two. As a side note, if you get Gina as your server, you will be in awe of how efficient, kind and attentive she is. She's knowledgable of any sushi dish brought to the table, fast without making you feel rushed and very accommodating despite having a very large section. Don't let this one go, Liberty, Gina is a pro and good for your brand! A very small negative is that seating can be a challenge around the busy times (dinner/happy hour) - be patient with the staff, it is a small venue and they're working their butts off. The awkward seating isn't enough to take away from the experience. And if you HAVE to have a table, chill out on those lovely couches, order one of those delicious Moscow mules and hang out until a seat opens up. Love this place. Seems like the regulars keep it to themselves and for good reason. We consider ourselves regulars now. read more

Liberty is, like for a lot of other people, an extension of my living room, most of the time full of people I don't know, but often with people I already met there before:) There is a nice feeling, I love each spot to sip my drink -couch, stool or at the bar- and each time I enter, this is a different adventure, different people, gentle or crazy... I find it's hard to find a place in Seattle, where cocktails are strong enough and not too sweet - and were there is no TV on!- thank you! The quality and diversity are huge behind this bar! You can ask anything to the barman, he will love to perform a customized martini... The sushis are nice, I really appreciate to find them on the menu when I have had several martinis without having dinner:) Good music selection, also Advice: Go when the bartender is in a bad mood, he makes even better martinis! Grrrrrrr read more

I dident know they have sushi here, I've only been here in the morning for coffee. The place is dimly lit, like a bar in the daytime, which it is. Pretty depressing with seattles weather. Nice comfy couches, nice barista, never crowded(the cafe types much prefer some of the other cafes down the street.) The coffee is great. They get Sumptown coffee, which I'm a fan of. Its not the bitter stuff your parents grew up on. All in all this place is great, but the atmosphere is wrong for a cafe. As a bar it looks like it would be cramped but I've never been. If you want to go to a great coffe and bar, Faire cafe gallery is The Best. Liberty is good if your nearby and want some social coffee. To repeat, this review is for the morning service. read more

I thought I had checked out all the quirky, older bars with character in the area, but apparently not. If you are looking for some place that serves high quality cocktails with lots of personality to each of them, look no further. Every drink was unique, and had a "story" of its own. Here are a few of the memorable drinks of that evening. Point of No Return: Whoa, what is the herbal flavor with fire? Eye of Fatima: Wait, is that sour, bitter, sweet? All of the above? A Walk in the Woods: Very smooth, powerful, but not too much Note: Their food menu did not look impressing (sushi at a dive bar? really?), and I wouldn't think that's their forte. read more

Sleek lounge ambiance + couches + delicious cocktails (some a bit sweet) + extensive whisky list + inventive sushi + wi-fi = my new favorite study spot (at least until it sucks my bank account dry). Also, shout-out to the servers and bartenders who were working their butts off keeping up with the crowd last night, and the guy who may have been the manager who kept checking on me to make sure I had everything I needed. It was crowded since the back room was reserved for a private party, but on a Friday night my party of 6 got a couch within 20 minutes and then a table a little while after that. read more

Very good cocktail menu! It includes a page of Classic Cocktails, then about 8 pages of more modern "mixology" type drinks. As is my way, I stuck with the classics. I had a Mint Julep, a Manhattan and an Old Fashioned. They were all great and properly prepared (crushed ice in the Mint Julep, one giant ice cube a luxardo cherry, and no soda water in the Old Fashioned). The Old Fashioned stood out in particular. I love them, and I try them at every place that offers them. The Old Fashioned at Liberty is the second best one I have ever had (#1 is at Cole's in Los Angeles). My friend had never had an Old Fashioned before, so I suggested it to him, and he fell in love (with the drink, not me! :-) ).... I'm actually kind of afraid I have set him up for disappointment, because if he orders one somewhere else, it is not going to be a good as the *3* he drank at Liberty! read more

This place is a gem that's in the "other Capitol Hill." It has a blend of elements I look for in an evening out in Seattle. I always take people here who have never been here before, and this place always deliver no matter what day of the week it is. I'm basically repeating what everyone else says here, but I'm hooked and will throw in my 5-stars to their ratings bucket. PARKING: Street parking in a very packed residential section of town. Be prepared to walk a couple of blocks. This is the only minus, but it really does nothing to taint the Liberty experience. AMBIENCE: A great mix of non--top 40 music streams through the speakers. Huge couches are the predominant feature for the seating. Lots of lighting, but they're dimmed, creating a diffused distribution where you can see, but not be cringing from sharp, piercing lights. PEOPLE: i usually mention people in the ambience section, but I really want to emphasize the clientele. Liberty draws in some very interesting people...this is an optimum people watching spot. I even feel compelled to say "you look interesting" and the people say "thanks." BOOZE: Full bar. They really have a strong selection for spirit connoisseurs. Here is the huge kicker: cask conditioned infused cocktails. No joke. As soon as you walk in the door, turn around and look up. Liberty is creative and pulls it off very well. SERVICE: This place gets packed. Sometimes if it takes awhile to get a drink., but the service is great. I've had the manager come out to answer my questions about their selection of whiskey. He even auditioned a couple. SUSHI: Not the best in town. But it's goddamn good. I always get the chef's special. Tell them a dollar amount. Sometimes I tell them $15. Sometimes $40. No matter what I choose, it's well worth the money. It's far from the conveyor belt crap. They lay sauces down on their sushi. So, here's the bottom line to the place: sushi, cocktails, people, music...go check it out. Worth every $$ I spend here. read more

This lounge is in an interesting concept, in my opinion. They had an extensive selection of whiskey, scotch & bourbon, and they happen to serve sushi as well! I was recommended this bar by a friend who indicated it was one of the best bars in Seattle. We went on a Sunday evening and it was fairly busy. The bar itself has a very laid back and cool vibe to it, I can imagine coming here with a small group of friends for a casual night out. There are traditional tables & chairs, but also some sofas you can sit at as well, which I enjoy. It's more upscale without being pretentious. This is definitely a place to come if you want a deliciously crafted cocktail or spirit you might not find elsewhere. I ordered an Old Fashioned and the boyfriend ordered a Moscow Mule. My best friend ordered scotch..a 15 year and I want to say it was Glenfiddich but I am not 100%. All I know is that I tried it and it was quite smokey. Our server was quite knowledgeable and friendly. It took a little while to get our drinks, but they were busy & cocktails take a bit of time to make-it was well worth the wait. Unfortunately I did not get a chance to try the sushi because one of the people in my party is not a fan. Perhaps the next time I am in Seattle, I will have to try some! I'd definitely go back again. read more

My girlfriend and I were visiting Seattle for the new years and wanted to find a nice bar to spend our night and countdown at. After going over several options we decided to visit Liberty since Canon was closed for the holidays. The place is fairly small but it's not overly crowded since there are plenty of spaces to sit at. The front consists of a few booths with couch seats for a medium/large party to sit at, the back consists of a long booth against the wall with several tables and stools and then there is the bar area. When we arrived we were given a menu to look over drinks and asked to wait a few minutes before we received a table at the booth against the back wall. Ambience: The bar is nice and cozy with dim lighting like most bars. The bar itself is impressive with tons of liquors to choose from and there are also little signs above the bar with the names of all of Liberty's whiskey selections. I found that decoration to be super cool since I am a huge whiskey lover . Drinks: What I love the most about Liberty is their extensive selection of drinks available. They have gin, rum, vodka, whiskey(bourbon, rye, Japanese, Indian, Irish, scotch), Cognac and cocktails with all the various alcohols. The drinks took sometime to come out but I was fine with that since I know that the bartenders take their time to truly perfect each drink. I ordered a rusty nail(Scotch Blend and Drambue), Black Walnut Old Fashioned and a Nikka 12 year neat. My girlfriend ordered a Yoga Pants and Death in The Afternoon. All our drinks were absolutely amazing and the only thing I regret was not having more time and money to try more of their extensive whiskey selections. Service: Service can be kind of slow when things get busy but I really appreciated the fact that the bartenders actually stepped out from behind the bar to help take orders and check on guests. That to me displays true care about your customers and the experience that they have at your bar. The servers and bartenders are also very knowledgeable about all alcohols and can make great recommendations for you if you have trouble choosing a drink. We also received a free glass of sparkling wine to ring in the New Years so that's a plus! Overall Experience: Great bar, amazing drinks and good service. I would recommend this place on any occasion or a casual night of drinking. read more

This place is legit. We came here for a birthday party and had a blast. Their drinks are unique and STRONG. I forget the name of what we ordered but it was a gin/wine drink and oooie only need one or two of these to have a good night. We ended up getting sushi too and good reviews all around. read more

Had such an amazing first experience here! I came in for Happy Hour and was extremely impressed with the sushi and cocktails, I will say the happy hour isn't the most impressive deals or anything but it's worth it anyways! The Joe's Roll is out of this world and the seared salmon on top was so fantastic! Not to mention the extremely finessed cocktails and great service- no fuss! The food/drinks speak for themselves, will definitely be back! read more

I love this place! Just got back a bit ago and always have a wonderful time. Drinks have alot of TLC in them, and everyone is awesome there! It is definitely the bar to take my out-of-town guests to. I love having a morning coffee there and working on my projects, it is chill and the music is great. read more

My son is in the hospital at UW and we are both sick of hospital food. Asked him what he wanted and he said sushi and I was lucky enough to find Liberty. Called ahead and they suggested a "chef's choice". Great idea. For a reasonable price, they put together several rolls as well as some awesome sushi. The only disappointing thing about the whole experience was that when I went in to pick up my take out, I had to rush back and didn't get a chance to have a couple drinks with the great crowd that was there. I definitely will be back another time. read more

I have only been to Liberty twice since it opened. Once right after it opened and once recently. It isn't a place I think of to go to. Some friends and I ended up there when our original location was too crowded. The atmosphere at Liberty was cozy with a big couch, the perfect size for our party. I ordered a sushi roll and a drink with tequila. The drink was delicious and just what was needed after the most brutal quarter in nursing school so far (hopefully of all time). The sushi was just OK. I didn't really have high expectations and it beat those expectations. I wouldn't make this your destination for sushi, but definitely don't avoid ordering it if you find yourself hungry at Liberty. I would go back to hang out with friends and have drinks. read more

Ok here is the real scoop. This place is phenomenal! I can't rave about it enough and I would easily give this place more stars if I could. Their service is hands down the friendliest, most inviting, sincere and delightful I have had in this great city. Their food is fantastic! I have a friend who hates sushi normally but here we found him a roll that he loved so much he bought one for himself. The drinks are clever and inventive and taste perfectly blended. My fiancee and I just had our birthday here. They made it delightful. We reserved the back room for our party, that's right there is a back room, in the back you push on the mirror and voila, you are in a really posh back room with a projector and independent sound. They visited often for drinks supplied us with everything we needed, the owners came in and asked if we were doing well and every time we were left with a sense of it's your birthday this is your space, enjoy yourselves. It was amazing. What more, it was free to reserve it. I cannot recommend this place more. I hope you get the chance to enjoy it too. read more
