    I cannot say enough great things about the Lobby Bar! It's become the go-to spot for my friends & I and we love the drinks here - one of my favorites is the Espresso Martini shot! The bartenders are also great to chat with and are always willing to create customized drinks off the menu (big shoutout to Bradley who is an amazing bartender) Highly recommend!

    Angela and Elias are fantastic. Best cocktails I've had in Seattle! Fantastic ambiance, great food, great people! Thanks for having us, can't wait to be back!

    This is the craft cocktail bar in the lobby of the beautiful REN in South Lake Union. So you can draft in behind a resident, or you can push the secret Lobby Bar button on the main entrance screen to be buzzed in. Once inside, take a moment to soak in the atmosphere. There's a bit of an outer space theme between the rocket-bear sculpture and the selfie-magnet astronaut-on-a-bench. Then head to the bar! They have an approachable menu of house craft cocktails fueled by creativity and inspired by the cosmopolitan nature of Seattle. There's an espresso martini like you've never had but want to, and several drinks that are for the more adventurous at heart. To pair with these delightful drinks, you have a number of shareable and small plates including customizable charcuterie boards with cheese, meats and tinned fish options! Great for any dietary restrictions. Fresh salads and serious sandwiches round out the heartier fare. So whether you want to lounge in the arm chairs, bring a group to their big table or chat with the team at the bar, you'll feel welcome and enjoy every sip and bite.

    I have had two instances where it is supposed to be open and it's not, and I'm checking at like 6pm. There was nothing on social media that suggested they were closed for an event on those dates. Is the bar dead/closed forever?

    Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and I’m sorry you’ve experienced this more than once. Unfortunately, these closures were likely the result of unexpected staffing issues. I completely understand how frustrating it is to arrive during…

    The place has a swank and lively atmosphere, like a heartbeat, in an otherwise typical lobby.

    Keep coming back here for amazing food! Dined there many times and food was absolutely fantastic…read moreand so many great food to choose. I came there for dinner and had the Bacon Clam Chowder and Pepperoni pizza which taste so good. They have good quality of food and everything taste so wonderful. The place was so nice and they have great setting. The ambiance was so pleasant. Nice experience dining there.

    Came in on a Friday night and learned that Old Stove Brewing gets busy for a reason! All the…read moreoutdoor tables were full when we arrived at 6, so we put our name on the list for inside and waited about 30 minutes. The oysters were the main draw for me, and they were totally worth the visit. Old Stove serves them with a savory watermelon sauce in addition to a traditional cocktail sauce--eaten together, it's a flavor explosion that I can't quite describe. We also enjoyed the garlic everything fries, which were delicious! We just had to try a flight to sample the brews. There are some really good beers available here, especially the Belgian blonde, citra pale ale, and the stout. I did not really care for the seasonal sour (grapefruit, I think)--to me, it just tasted like a sour and nothing more, but someone with more interest in sour beers would probably enjoy it just fine. Despite the busy night, our server checked on us regularly and was very personable, stopping to chat with us about the local sports scene. There's plenty to look at, inside and out. If you can snag a seat outside, you'll get to enjoy the waterfront. Inside, the decor is industrial but fun. Not sure if this runs all the time, but when we were there, the tvs were playing vintage beer ads, which was quite fun. They also sell some pretty good t-shirt designs. Overall, Old Stove Brewing is the perfect combo of good location, good food, and good beer. Definitely recommend a visit when in the Pike Place area!

    Came here the past couple Fridays to get my weekend started and closing out a work week. The…read moreambiance here is intimate and the music isn't too loud which is great while sipping some beers. There are several beers and some ciders on tap from all around and all the ipa's I've tried here have been pretty decent. from there you grab your brew and have a seat at high top tables within the tap room. Again, the setting is mid-sized good for a couple groups of four and a few two person tables. Music is at a decent volume and is lit dimly making it decent for a date spot or just a place to have conversation without raised voices. Fridges line the tap room so you can mix and match beers, ciders and wines to take out which is cool. I like Bottleworks, I want to enjoy it more, but there are some issues holding me to 3 stars. The staff are...alright. Not bad, but I feel could be a little friendlier. Also they don't allow sample pours? This is a common thing at most breweries, but maybe it's because this is a tap room, but beers run a bit higher here - $8-9 a pour so that's annoying that you can't even try a couple. Lastly, they rotate things out it seems weekly. Some of the more popular options I suppose they keep but seems like a lot of turn around on the drinks so if you like something they have on tap, don't get too attached. Perhaps on subsequent visits It will improve, and I can boost the score here, but besides the decent beers and setting, it's just OK here.

    One of the best bottle shops in the country!…read more I've had many of Bottleworks' anniversary beers in the past because they always team up with stellar breweries to make them.. but before today I have never visited the famous shop. It's smaller than I imagined it to be but every beer inside, from the draft list to the cans and the bottles are carefully curated by the staff. We grabbed a quick beer (Hill Farmstead, which is the first time I've seen this brewery for sale in the since I started this trip 6 weeks ago and Ive been through 4 states) Then we shopped for some cans, we quickly had to refrain from buying too much as the refrigerator in our van only holds so much. We ended up with a six pack and then grabbed a mystery 4 pack on the way out (mystery 4 pack was stellar). While we're shopping they opened a sour from Jester King and shared it with us. I honestly wish I lived a bit closer (Las Vegas is kinda far) because I'd be here everyday... Honestly, they have a whole cooler just for barley wine! The staff are very knowledgeable about beer and are very hospitable. Thanks for a great experience!
