It's been over 10 years since my last visit to Mischief, and since then, they have done quite well, expanding their liquor line and opening up a restaurant/bar section. I needed a place to prefunk before a show at Nectar and was very glad I stopped by. The bar is a mix between indoors and out, and they also have a rooftop section which was occupied by a event. Loved the Manhattan sampler, which provide d3 distinct versions of a Manhattan. Also tried a grilled salmon sandwich which was actually one of the best versions I've had recently. I ended with a la loiusiane, which was a perfect way to end my vsiit. Definitely a great spot along the canal which has withstood the test of time. read more

This was such a great find! The terrace is so nice even on a rainy day. The service is quick and friendly. The drinks are reasonably priced from $13-25 and food was yummy. Matcha Gin Sour 4/5: didn't rly taste the matcha but yummy, citrusy, strong Blackberry Manhatten 4/5: VERY strong, sweet Deviled eggs 5/5: SO YUMMY Elite bowl 1/5: needs some tajin or something, very plain and creamy with no flavor. Didn't finish but large portion for an appetizer which is nice read more

Mischief on Canal - Blackberry Manhattan - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Honestly, I was a bit bummed about my visit to Mischief. After walking past it nearly every day on the Burke-Gilman trail, I finally decided to try it for dinner and drinks. It was their Halloween pop-up which was pretty cool and I loved all the Halloween decor. When we arrived, there was no one to greet us. It wasn't busy. We eventually found a server who told us to pick a spot anywhere. We went up to the rooftop and it was clear that the bartender did not want us there. It took a really long time to get served and we had to flag people down. The drinks were great, the food was okay. I wasn't a fan of the griddled smoked salmon sandwich but I enjoyed the boxty potatoes and deviled eggs. I might try it again just for drinks and not food, but only if the bartender isn't inconvenienced by my existence next time :) read more

Perfect for cocktails on a sunny day! Servers were friendly! However they did miss our food order and weren't the most attentive. The ambience on a nice Seattle day is really what makes this place special! read more

Fun outdoor patio space in Fremont. Absolutely loved the orange Julius and French redhead cocktails, although the matcha sour was interesting. The spiced elote bowl and burrata tartine were delicious as well. The upstairs deck would've been cool, but there was a private party reserved. read more

It was a perfectly fine experience, until my friend gave some feedback to the bartender about the menu not being very clear about what to expect when ordering a manhattan flight (to be fair I was also taken aback by the size of the flight) and while she was mentioning it another bartender made a rude comment within earshot. Doesn't make for a pleasant night with friends when service misses the mark. read more

We had guests in town so we spent the day in Seattle. It was a gorgeous and hot day. We had just finished our walk about sightseeing tour and I thought oh this looks like a good place to stop. So glad we did. It was a hot day so we chose to sit outside in the patio area. The patio is so pretty there are flowers and greenery out. It's very relaxing and I couldn't help but notice the beautiful lighting they have strung up. I'd like to go back in the evening sometime, so I can see how pretty it is night. We had ordered a variety of drinks, and everyone seem to thoroughly enjoyed them. Our server was awesome very knowledgeable and helpful. I had/tasted the watermelon Rose sangria, and the blackberry bramble. Both strings or flavorful, refreshing and very pretty look at. Perfect for a hot day. We also ordered some pickled vegetables and sourdough bread. Couldn't get a picture of it because our table gobbled it up. I would definitely come back here again. It was very nice and it wasn't just a company. read more

SUCH an amazing find in Fremont :) Delicious food, great drinks, and awesome staff. Right on the river, has the coolest interior, outdoor courtyard, and rooftop with lots of seating. They bump music outside too! Burrata Tartine ($17) - amazing fresh burrata. You can tell the greens are local. Loved the unique components too like candied rhubarb. Grilled Cheese sub Smoked Pork ($15) - incredible perfectly buttery toasted bread, loved the mixture of cheeses and that Truffle Marinara, I could drink a boat of that. Amaro Spritz ($11) was perfect for a summer day. Alana was super helpful and awesome :) read more

I adore Mischief. Twice I've been to Mischief and twice I have left filled with joy and alcohol. I have taken out of town guests here and they also have left raving about the place. It truly is a delight! On a warm summer day we were able to sit under the cover but with the wind at our back. It isn't too busy when it initially opens but wow does it pick up! And deservedly so because it is grand! It has this very relaxed atmosphere with three buildings that make the courtyard feel separated from the rest of the world. There's a rooftop patio, a tasting room, a nice little bar, and a fabulous little kitchen. The food is amazing. The drinks even more so. The waitstaff is fantastic as well. They are fun and conversational. Patience is required when the place picks up but it is understandable. They do their best to meet the demand. Their drinks are soooo good I can totally understand why. This is a place you can easily lose a couple hours and not notice. It is amazing and well worth it. read more

Really great cocktails and the juiciest salmon in a burger bun. Super flavorful and it kept dripping in a very satisfying way lol. And the acid from the pickled veggies pair with it perfectly. This was a great place to sit under the sun, chat, and enjoy some great bites. Our servers were also fantastic read more

The cocktails were delicious and less expensive compared to similar places in the neighborhood. The Mischief compound is fun as well. There's two floors to the restaurant and an outdoor area with a fire pit. The bartender was super nice and attentive even though we were sitting outside. We'll definitely be coming back! read more

Mischief on Canal - Outside of restaurant - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I LOVE this place! I randomly stumbled upon this place when I was on a walk with my pup and immediately called my friends to check it out that night. Since then I've been here at least 10 times when you walk in, the vibes are immaculate. The staff is super friendly and attentive- shoutout LANA for being the best bartender One thing to note is their food menu- it is pretty limited and I wouldn't really consider this a sit down restaurant but more of a place to grab delicious drinks at with small bites to pair them with. Other than that, their drink menu is incredible and the bartenders will also whip up anything you like. This place is great for low key date night and for small and big groups! In the summer, their rooftop is open and the music is great and in the winter, they have these amazing tables with built in fire that add to the experience ! Also did I mention they're dog friendly? read more

Such a fun place! The rooftop restaurant was so much fun and our 13 yr old was also allowed...bonus!

Great out-of-the-way location, creative drinks (including non-alcoholic cocktails, which I appreciate), and tasty food. Loved that we had a rooftop experience even in winter, thanks to the enclosure and heaters. read more

I haven't tried the food yet, but I always find this place really nice as a quick cocktail stop, especially if you can sit in the roof patio area. read more

Easy peasy online reservation system, welcoming host and wait staff, terrific location adjacent to the canal dividing Fremont and Queen Anne, plentiful no zoned street parking. I'm sure it would be different during the Fremont Sunday Market though. This well conceived cocktail bar is part of the distillery and open Fridays through Sundays. You can reserve indoors or under the vast outdoor tent area with overhead heaters. The ventilation and well spaced seating arrangements work really well as we emerge from the pandemic pause. I met up with four other former work colleagues with a 2pm reservation (5/8/21). It was a great reunion after six months. I celebrated with my first cocktail for 2021, Paper Plane ftw! Patrons are asked to keep it to 90 minutes per reservation, which was reasonable for ample conversation, food, and drink. Service was well paced and unobtrusive. Most of us stuck with cocktails, beer, and a mocktail. One opted for a pair of smoked pork sliders. Menu is available via QR code or online. Nice variety of small plate/apps and beverages. The atmosphere was upbeat and it was just nice to be together again to catch up and have lively conversation. Terrific venue - definitely worth future return visits! read more

What a cool new spot. Open for business with lots of outdoor patio space and heaters! Reserve a space online in 15 min increments and be prepared to enjoy top shelf drinks and tasty treats. My friend and I were so excited to find a warm and inviting new place with spacious high ceilinged tents with open sides and efficient heaters. Great service and delicious menu options all around. They opened in March a week before the first lockdown...reopened in June with a cool rooftop patio. The rooftop is closed for winter but there's plenty of space down on the street level. My favorite food items we ordered were the smoked salmon grilled cheese sandwich and the burrata with sweet potatoes and pickled onions and turnips/parsnips. Both were unique and may be the best of their class in all of Seatown! Between the Bees Knees, Hot Toddy, and Corpse Reviver I can't decide which was my favorite and all were everything I could have hoped for and more. None were overly sweet and all were completely satisfying. Can't wait for future visits to this amazing place. The tasting room/gift shop area is open until 6pm I believe they said Weds-Saturday. Next time I'll be sure to check it out. I also want to see their beautiful stills! This place follows all pandemic protocols and still manages to help patrons have a sense of normalcy and holiday cheer! Highly recommend them! read more

This is the new hot spot!!! They opened right before covid, had to shut down and just back to open in June. And OMG they make the best drinks in Fremont! Every single drink, I can tell you, will not disappoint. So perfecto. Their own distillery is right next door that makes gin, whiskey, brandy etc. they use a lot of their own liquor here and the drinks are heavenly. We also ordered their chocolate cake and how does a distillery makes one of the best chocolate cakes in seattle? I don't know. You just have to come and try it. Mind blown. Coming back soon. read more

Great rooftop view with high quality drinks. Cocktails are on the smaller side but their $5 cans of Fremont beer make up for it. The service was pretty slow, maybe 10-20m to get a cocktail. However service in Seattle is generally worse then most cities I've found. I'd definitely recommend for an after work drink or date night. read more

This is a pleasant spot for HH/low-key date/catching up with friends that has an above average selection of creative drinks with pleasant appetizers and a quirky atmosphere (if that's your thing). Quite a few small plates to share. Minus one star as the food menu is limited (it is really more of a place to grab drinks vs full-scale sit-down restaurant) and the options for pescatarians/vegetarians are limited. Love the name! read more

Came here for a cocktail on a summer Sunday afternoon for my roommates birthday. Delish and super affordable aperol spritz! We didn't get any food but the menu looks yummy. Fairly small food menu but really fun and yummy cocktails. Huge outdoor seating area and rooftop close to Gas Works. Will be back for another drink :) read more

This restaurant is associated with a distillery. I got a sampler of their wares and also had a tasty burger along with it. Both were good.

Really friendly and efficient service, locally focused and seasonal offerings for both food and drink. Great flavor combos for their seasonal cocktail menus. read more

Loved this place. We noticed this next to distillery while walking in Fremont and were instantly drawn to it. There was a bit of a wait as it's a Friday and we didn't go with a reservation. We got a table after a wait of 30mins. The cocktails and whiskey flight were delicious. And we tried quite a few things on the menu and loved it. Notably the deviled eggs, burrata and the jackfruit sliders. The whisky soaked chocolate cake was unbelievable. Our server was nice and pleasant. It was slightly pricier than some of the other places in Fremont but totally worth the experience for us. Overall an amazing evening spent at this place and I am coming back again for sure. read more

We spotted some twinkly Christmas lights and some people sitting having a drink. We walked in and were welcomed by a lovely team of people. So friendly! We sat in their outdoor area which was covered in outdoor heaters and twinkly lights, making it super cozy and festive. We also got there at happy hour. I was so happy to find out that if you posted a story about them, you were offered a free appetizer. Our lovely waitress chose the deviled eggs for us and rightly so, they were fantastic! I had a warm non-alcoholic apple cider. Such a fantastic little gem with a really cool gift shop next to it. read more

Ah, the restaurant with the second-floor patio--a lofty perch from which to observe the shortcomings of the kitchen below. The bread? A masterclass in blandness, perfect for those who think even water has too much flavor. The autumn salad? A dry landscape of leaves, as if paying homage to the arid deserts. And let's not forget the shepherd's pie--an unseasoned monument to culinary ennui. Truly, a feast for the senses, if your senses are into that sort of punishment. Would I recommend? Only if you're researching what not to do in the culinary arts. read more

Solid drinks and a nice setting to get an evening started in Fremont . The deviled eggs were delish too!

We wanted to try out a new distillery! We found this place and it was awesome!! We did a couple of tastings and they were great! Then we had some small plates and cocktails. We ordered the Pulled Pork Sliders, Bread and Butter and their spiced nuts. Everything was delicious! We had the best service! First with Elsa and then with Allana! So attentive and friendly! We will definitely be back!! read more

Awesome, dog-friendly patio spot perfect for summer. We came on a hot Friday evening and spent a few hours here. Umbrella so helpful in preventing heat exhaustion lol. Cocktail menu focused on whiskey and gin drinks. They did have a mezcal though (server seemed really hesitant when I asked) so I ordered that! Friends tried the mule and spritz. Mule was fruity and unique. The spritz was on the tart side. Husband stuck to his usual old fashioned. They had a walnut one. Beet deviled eggs were so good. The yolk/mayo mixture was smooth and creamy, offset by the pickled beet egg white. Must try. The burrata was tasty but did not find this a good value. $17 for what amounted to a bite of burrata eat for 4 people. Don't get me wrong... was beautiful and tasty - but unsettling that it was more than a typical entree. Would definitely come back here. Very friendly staff who checked up on the table often, and always kept our (and our dogs') waters refilled. Thanks!! read more

My husband and I visited Seattle for our 10 year anniversary. We are big foodies, love good drinks, and really enjoy walking. We actually walked from the Ballard farmers market all the way to Mischief. The walk was OK, a little dodgy at points, but all in all a great experience. Let me say that Mischief on Canal was not what I expected at all! I'll be honest - I did not research it ahead of time, I really only bookmarked it because we wanted to walk from Ballard to Fremont. When you walk in the ambience is so cute! The staff is great and their cocktails are bomb. I definitely recommend the old fashioned... It's unlike any I've ever had before. If you are in Seattle and enjoy craft cocktails you cannot miss this place. read more

Stopped by for a quick round of drinks and their space is super cool. They were good about doing last rounds and letting us know. The drinks took a while but I felt like given the amount of people that were there, they were busy. Got the clarified spicy margarita and I thought it was gonna be closer to a clarified milk punch but it tasted like spicy water. Not much dimension to it. The peach julep was nice and refreshing though. Super loved the space and would come back just to maybe try out the rooftop as well. read more

Our party of four had great small plates (deviled eggs, salmon griddled cheese, bread and butter, and a meat dish of some sort) and whiskey flights. Service was great and, as others mentioned, there is heated outdoor seating as well as semi-indoor seating. Even their hot apple cider sans alcohol was delicious! We will be back for sure! read more

I wouldn't say I love Mischief on the Canal, I would say I'm obsessed with them. This spot is so underutilized and offers everything one could dream of in a great, destination worthy, dining experience. The cocktail program is outstanding (afterall they are working with fantastic spirits they really understand), the canal is a picturesque setting and the delicate design touches of the distillery itself are insta-worthy. The staff is all bright and friendly, but the thing that keeps me and my family/friends coming back though, the FOOD. Pickled deviled eggs, gazpacho and other inspired soups, house smoked salmon and house made lox, pea greens + fiddlehead salads, smoked jackfruit sliders, brisket that melts in your mouth, whiskey chocolate cake dessert, burrata with crispy chorizo chips... I am swooning. This is the spot you want to visit. First date, anniversary celebration, work happy hour, family gettogether, this is the spot to be at. I am so enthralled with Mischief and their impeccable dining experience. read more

Get your quintessential Seattle fix right here. Everything about Mischief on Canal makes it The. Perfect. Seattle-style venue. In mid-summer I'm happily set under a green umbrella on a chill patio in a blissful 70° July afternoon watching dog walkers and cyclists saunter by the calm, boat-pacing canal that binds Fremont to Queen Anne - just a bit of Saturday lunch. The most tasteful track of real R&B and jazz permeates the courtyard (live music some nights!) like you should be hearing here. Pristine rustic saloon structures, blooming things everywhere, rooftop dining, I am perfectly at home here, and I don't even like rustic saloons. Super cool staff serving under an amazing chef. I searched "bougie brunch" and their ad came first. I don't like ads. I looked through other choices. Then I saw their beet pickled deviled eggs - so pretty! Do they taste that good? Short answer: YES!! Add this summer's Chilled Heirloom Gazpacho, Watermelon Rose Sangria, and Strawberry Pistachio Salad (leafy greens plucked fresh off their well-watered roof garden!), and disobey your calorie counter just once this week for the bread pudding - again: another food type I don't intake, but damn, people, rye whiskey caramel? The yes persists. I'm literally working out events right now I can put together just so I can hang out here more. read more

We stumbled about this place while driving around Fremont. This place has outdoor seating as well terrace seating. Beautiful spot. The cocktails were strong , just the way we wanted.
