The drinks were tasty and well-made, which is really what you want at a place like this. The service also stood out--in a good way. The staff were kind and attentive, and everything came out pretty quickly, which made the experience smooth and enjoyable. The food, on the other hand, was pretty average. It's basically what you'd expect from typical bar food--nothing bad, but nothing particularly memorable either. If you're coming here, I'd recommend focusing on the drinks and the view rather than making it a full dinner stop. Overall, it's a solid spot for drinks, good service, and great views.

We were looking for a brewery for a quick drink moment and a fast search on Yelp got us here. I WILL say that it was quite the journey trying to find this place with our Apple Maps... But we made it!

There's a couple tvs here and there for game viewing if desired. They have a great selection of local and nearby beers/ciders. I can't quite recall if they had wine but I'd assume they do. They also have NA options for the 0% friends! Overall this is such a cozy spot for a drink or two. Highly recommend stopping in!

The atmosphere is pretty much the same as I remember. The music was still playing fairly loud, and the air conditioning was running full blast. I get that it's summer, but at nearly 10 p.m. it felt a little excessive. A slightly warmer temperature and lower volume would have made the space more comfortable. The restaurant serves food until 11 p.m., although the late-night menu is somewhat limited. I was there on my own to watch the Algeria vs. Jordan match, so I grabbed a seat at the bar. Service was solid. The bartender was friendly, took the time to walk me through a few beer options, and I ended up ordering a Seattle Pale Ale, which turned out to be a great choice. Before I ordered food, he also mentioned that the kitchen was running about 15-20 minutes behind, which I appreciated. I went with the crispy chicken sandwich. It took about as long as expected, and overall it was quite good. That said, the real standout for me was the fries. They were perfectly cooked, crispy, and honestly the best part of the meal. If you're staying nearby or just looking for a casual spot to grab a drink and some food, it's worth checking out.

Hotel bars can be a dime a dozen, but what canteenM has going for it is its unique flavor with its…read morehip cool interior and the fun festive cocktail program from their surprisingly affordable menu. Located on the ground floor of the CitizenM Hotel in the South Lake Union neighborhood in Seattle, CitizenM is just one of a number of trendy hotels that have opened up in the neighborhood over the past few years thanks to the many corporate headquarters that have founded locations in the area including Amazon, the Allen Institute and the University of Washington. With this newfound lease on life businesses including restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and supermarkets have all opened up thanks to the influx of residents that have moved into what was once a neighborhood filled with warehouses. CitizenM is a reflection of that change with their modern exterior highlighting the corner of Westlake Avenue North and John Street. Not only is the hotel budget priced, but it is the very definition of cool from their posh interior that welcomes hotel guests and locals alike to their quick yet self-effacing service in which you check yourself in with a key card in which you have to process yourself. Thankfully a recent stay was highlighted by myself and some work colleagues enjoying a late evening libation and a plethora of bar bites after a hard day's work. Their bar and restaurant, otherwise known as canteenM, is located directly behind their check-in desk opposite their elevators leading to their other floors. When we arrived at nine in the evening there was hardly anyone there surrounding their bar area or sitting down. As we would eventually learn after sitting down at one of their tables, customers must approach the bar to order both food and beverages no matter if they are busy or not. The menu at canteenM is separated into categories including Bar Bites, Main Course, Beer, Cider, Bubbles, White Wine, Red Wine, Signature Cocktails, Mocktails, various types of Liqueur, Coffee, Water, Soft Drinks, and Juice. Of course we came for food and we each enjoyed a nice cocktail or glass of wine. To drink I ordered their Hemingway Daiquiri, which was made with Bacardi Superior Rum, Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur, grapefruit juice and lemon juice. Another person in our party ordered their Blueberry Bliss which was made with Bombay Sapphire Gin, prosecco, elderflower syrup, lemon juice and blueberries. For food, we decided to share their Margherita Pizza Renata, which was topped with tomato sauce, mozzarella and basil; their Chicken Dumplings, which were five potstickers stuffed with mixed vegetables, served with dipping sauce, green onion and sesame seeds; their Chips & Dips, which were a bowl of corn tortilla chips served with sides of mango peach salsa and guacamole with a pinch of cilantro; and their Rosemary Fries which were served with aioli and ketchup dipping sauces. It wouldn't take too long for our drinks to be ready, with the caveat being that we had to pick up our own drinks and take them back to our table despite it not being too busy. We just happened to recognize that our drinks were ready without being told by anyone that they were ready for pickup. My drink however was nicely crafted and took me away to the beach while sipping an exotic drink, which is not the first thing one thinks of when you enjoy a cocktail in Seattle. Our dishes would come out one by one with the highlights of our meal being their Margherita Pizza, which was nicely baked and a hearty pie, and their Chips & Dips, which thanks to the salsa and guacamole filled our appetites for the evening. With a bill being roughly ninety dollars before gratuity was added in, it was a reasonably priced meal that was enjoyed out of both convenience and available. Come for the food, but stay for the drinks as they were lively and complete. The CitizenM hotel has a lot of good things going for it, one of which is canteenM which also does brisk business in the morning with a breakfast buffet and full coffee service. Although there are many other options available in the neighborhood, the owners of CitizenM know what to do in order to make their guests feel a little more at ease.

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

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.

Excellent views from basically any seat, but best if you get a window seat. I heard it gets popular for sunset views. The food/snack menu is fairly limited but I tried the chicken sliders and they were ok (3 for $19, with chips). For the price, I felt they were a bit expensive for the quality and the spiced chips it came with were stale. I would recommend stopping by for some speakeasy style drinks (they have NA options too), but maybe pass on the food unless you're hungry. Staff was friendly and attentive. You do have to pay for entry to Smith Tower (observatory) to visit the bar/restaurant. Restrooms are 1 floor down from the restaurant area.

Dress for the Weather: Even in the middle of summer, the observation deck can be incredibly windy and chilly. Be sure to bring a jacket so you can comfortably walk around and explore while you wait.
