Final round with garlic fries
Rima Z.

I had heard of this cocktail lounge from a few people and finally got to try it out. It's the Bees Knees (yes, that's also a drink on their menu). It was a busy Saturday night but a table was found for us quickly, tucked in the back. The menu descriptions are whimsical and amusing, which means you take longer to make your selection because it all sounds enticing. Fortunately, we were waited on by Coco - author of said prose on the menu. She helped whittle down our order with knowledgeable insights and a fun attitude. First, we had to start with their award winning classic martini - 8 times Seattle champions? How could you not be curious? Deliciously cold and crisp; the olive was perfectly briny. We ordered some mixed nuts and marinated olives to accompany the drinks. The olives were unfortunately too vinegary so we returned them (which was handled gracefully and without question), but the nuts were delicious so we ordered another bowl to replace the olives. We had intended to move on to the next bar, but couldn't get the description of our first choice of drinks out of our minds. So we placed our order and settled in for the night... The Corpse Reviver No2 was a perfect balance of tart, sweet, and refreshing. The Last Stroh tasted like a next level Manhattan - superb. Atmosphere and people watching was great, conversation was flowing. The vibe just called for another round of the same drinks, this time with Parmesan garlic fries. These were hot, crispy, and topped generously with Parmesan and a mixture of fresh minced garlic and parsley. Sometimes chopped garlic can get too pungent; this was delicious. In conclusion, great cocktails which are well poured, generous snack servings, and attentive service team with good timing. Coco made our night and launches the review from 4 stars to a 5.

I was so disappointed when I came to Oliver's while recently visit visiting in Seattle. I had been craving a dirty martini with blue cheese olives, and so I finally searched and found that Oliver's was the place to go. The bar is beautiful. It's connected to a historic hotel and has windows on the corners of the bar on a busy corner in Seattle. Great for people watching.. I had gotten there right around 6 o'clock and a big group of people were just leaving the bar. The bartender was clearly frustrated as I'm sure that was a lot of people to serve at one time and then to clean up after them after they left. . however, frustrated or not after he brought me my water it took him a long time to get my drink order and then they had no more blue cheese. All of the left. I asked him how long it would take for him to make them I could clearly tell he was not happy with my question. He said it would take at least 20 minutes so I had my dirty martini with standard olives and went on my way. It was a shame because I really wanted to find a little martini bar right in the city for my next visit although Oliver's was an extremely great bar great location. I'll need to go to a different place. The next time I'm in town for my extra dirty martinis.

Nice bar albeit a bit pricey in my opinion. For my only drink I purchased here, I ordered an Uptown Margarita that was one of the House Special drinks. The drink was composed of Reposada Tequila, Elderflower liquor and lime juice. Although my drink was well made it really came across as a Tequilla based Martini versus a real Margarita and I was not a fan of the Elderflower. Having said that I saw plenty of happy customers enjoying their drinks and will chalk it up to a poor selection on my part. Bartender was quite friendly and bar itself was clean and melded nicely into the hotel retro/classy theme. Overall I would say that if you just looking for the convenience of a close bar that can make just about any drink you can think of and don't mind paying a little more for your drinks than this bar will definately fit the bill for you. However, if your more price conscious as I am there are cheaper options to be found walking down the streets of this district.

The most perfectly prepared bacon and eggs I've ever had!!!

The most perfectly prepared bacon and eggs I've ever had!!! Quick, pleasant and very accommodating staff. This little nook of a restaurant in the mayflower park hotel is a thick slice of decadence! An unexpected delight! Great coffee too.

Baguette
Diana C.

The ambiance is very chic and classy, but also quite classic. The drink list was really comprehensive so there's something for everyone. Both the cocktails and our baguette were lovely. The service was timely and attentive too. Very pretty hotel!

Just came for drinks. Oliver's has a nice old-school atmosphere. Good service and a drink menu with lots of choices. Recommended

Absolutely delicious shrimp cocktail!

Absolutely beautiful hotel and restaurant! Highly recommend and off the beaten path so you are not battling tourists!

The Classic Martini
Nancy P.

I love this lounge! Oliver's is a must-visit whenever we are in Seattle. They make the best martini I have ever had - the drunken olives are amazing. The bartender is outstanding, we tried several cocktails and all of them were delicious. We love the vibe, the people watching on 4th is always entertaining

Garden salad with grilled chicken

Small and fast Good service Food was bland, but not bad. Got the garden salad with grilled chicken. The chicken was cooked well and delicious. The dressing was boring and definitely was missing flavor. BLT was not bad, but not great either. Not too bad for a hotel restaurant. The ingredients were fresh.

Tequila Sidecar, pita and hummus, bread and whipped butter
Saahil S.

In-hotel bar with limited dining menu, quality drinks, solid food, high prices, and ok service. Had drinks and a meal here during my stay at the Mayflower this week and wasn't too enamored by the rude waitstaff at times, but the drinks were great and burger well-made. My personal favorites from here were the sides pictured with my drinks below (pita and hummus, bread and whipped butter). For whatever reason, that whipped butter blew me away. And the hummus was just perfect. We came back later in the night on the same day of our initial visit (where we had the drinks and sides) for dinner and took a seat in the hotel lobby (since some of our party was under 21 and they'll serve you dinner outside the bar). The host and waitstaff were both very curt and rude while addressing our group this time however, unprovoked. Bit unfortunate since we had a nice experience just earlier in the day. Overall, would recommend stopping by for a few happy hour drinks and sides but nothing more.

Nice bar and restaurant located in the Mayflower Park Hotel downtown. The huge floor to ceiling windows and upscale decor makes this a great place to have a bite and drinks. The shrimp cocktail was fresh with a spicy cocktail sauce that was fantastic. All the drinks were expertly crafted with my favorite being the Urban Oasis. This cocktail was made with a house-infused white pepper-strawberry gin (fantastic), Aperol, and Brut Rose and is a must have. Last but not least, the service was perfectly and did not have to wait for anything. They also have Sunday brunch and I will be back to try more dishes soon.

Bee's Knees
Stacey P.

Located in the Mayflower Hotel, Oliver's Lounge is the best bar I should visit more often. My friend and I came after watching a symphony performance at Benaroya and did not feel over dressed. It has this classy, low-key ambiance where people who want to drink solid craft cocktails go. It wasn't very busy when we visited and we were prompted to sit wherever we liked. Our waiter was fantastic - he was engaging, funny, and charming. He regularly checked in with us and had lovely conversation. The drinks were fantastic - well balanced, delicious. The Aviation cocktail is easily the best Aviation I've drank in King County. It was perfectly balanced with not too much creme de violette. The Bee's Knees was also exceptionally, though I may not opt for the egg whites next time because I didn't find it enhanced the flavor but did add a unique textural component. We ended with the s'mores which admittedly got us giggling a bit after watching the movie The Menu, but I can say if this was what s'mores would've tasted like when I was a kid I'd never stop eating them. The marshmallow was exquisite - the best I've tasted. It was an awesome experience.

Lemon Drop
Yasmine H.

Oliver's Lounge is located in a hotel. They were open late on a Sunday night so we came through after a show. The cocktails were amazing! Moody vibes but it looked more casual on the upper flooring by the windows. Food was a bit pricey for what we got - we liked the artichoke dip but doesn't come with much pita. Overall I recommend it!

Came for their Sunday brunch, it was delicious, with a good drink menu. Pretty quiet with not a lot of traffic, but worth a visit!

Deep Dive is my favorite cocktail bar in Seattle. The decor is incredible: Very speakeasy vibes,…read moreand every detail feels thoughtful and elevated. The whole space has this intimate, luxurious atmosphere that makes the experience feel special the moment you walk in. We tried the Japanese Breakfast, which is a savory cocktail and such a pleasant surprise. It genuinely has miso soup notes. It's very unique and creative. I also had El Boho (flavorful but not overly sweet). The staff are always friendly and very knowledgeable when it comes to recommending drinks. The prices are on the higher end, but personally I think they're totally worth it for the creativity and overall experience. This is the spot I bring all my out-of-town friends to because the ambiance, vibes, and drinks are just that good. Truly one of Seattle's gems.

The First Gentleman was attentive and we got our drinks and an appetizer timely. We ordered our second appetizer with our first server and thats where the service deteriorated. I could hear the table next to us ordered the exact same appetizer as we did 10-15 mins after we did and a new server who must had just clocked in brings them the order literally within 2-3 mins later and the male commented, "oh that was fast" and I thought to myself they got our order. Another 10-15 mins go by and I had to ask "do you know how long our order will take to which she seemed to get annoyed. It could have my energy because by that time I was annoyed. I'm not sure what happened to our original server but he must have gotten off. About 5-10 mins goes by and here it comes. That confirmed the table next to us got our order because of how long it took. They never apologized for their mistake. Doing all that time they never came back to see if we would like another drink. I had to flag someone down. The clincher was we got our bill and there was 22% service charge. That was on me because if I would have seen it I might not have gone. I'm not a fan of automatically charging a service charge. I'm a great tipper but it must be earned. By than I was really annoyed and thought to have a conversation with the manager but let it go. I would not go back. The craft cocktails are spendy but I had no problem with that because they're creative and they earned it by being creative. But the energy and the environment wasn't like the other speak easy bars I visited. It was boring and to top it off the service charge of 22% and the service that came with it sealed it for me. Make sure to read the website on their thought around the 22%.

When the city reopened in 2021, I was eating here almost every day; partly because of convenience, but mainly because the food and service never miss. I've hosted everything here: birthday celebrations, after-work hangs, and dinners with friends and colleagues. Every single time, it's a hit. People walk in, fall in love with the vibe, and walk out talking about the food. The consistency is unreal. They even order food to go. The flavors? Bold, intentional, and layered in a way that makes each dish feel crafted, not just cooked. The presentation is always stunning; plates that look as good as they taste. You can tell the kitchen takes pride in what they send out. Drinks are equally impressive. Their cocktails are balanced and creative, the kind that make you slow down just to appreciate the mixology behind them. And for anyone planning group outings: reservations here are a breeze. They're incredibly accommodating with large parties, and the service stays sharp even when the place is packed. Attentive, friendly, and perfectly paced; they know how to take care of people. Dead Line checks every box: atmosphere, flavor, presentation, service, and seamless hosting for big groups. It's easily one of the most reliable and enjoyable spots in downtown Seattle, and it's stayed that way for years.

The front of the bar is standard tables with the back of the bar having cute seating areas. I got the gingerbread expresso martini which was really yummy! Our drinks did take a while to get to us despite sitting right at the bar but we did have a table of 7 so understood. We got our appetizers before our drinks: Brussel sprouts (SO YUMMY), oysters, and truffle fries (towered in parm!). These went down super quick. I then ordered the pork arepa for my entree and wow...not what i was expecting but will never regret! One of my favorite dishes I've had in a while that I'll keep thinking about. All the flavors worked so well together and the arepa itself was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The pork was sweeter due to the marinade and not salty at all which i preferred. Will 100% be back!

Roquette was a surprisingly small space with a wonderful vibe serving up "destination" bar-worthy cocktails. It reminded me of some of the neighborhood gem cocktail bars that I'd frequented on the East Coast. I grabbed a seat at the bar. Roquette's lineup of cocktails were varied in flavor profile using a wide range of spirits. They also served non-alcoholic offerings which looked equally intriguing as their boozy selections. I started off with the 99 Problems ($28), which, unfortunately, I forgot to note what was in the drink. It was boozy, clever, inventive, and most importantly delicious. My second drink was the Imperium Old Fashioned ($24) made with Westland Whiskey "Roquette" Barrel, Clement Cask Strength Rhum, Old Delicious Apple Brandy, Pineapple, and Spice. It was an excellent, boozy, balanced update to the classic Old Fashioned. Although I went with drinks off their menu, I have no doubt that any of their skilled bar professionals could've crafted me a wonderful cocktail if I had simply requested a classic or something on the fly based on my choice of spirit and desired flavor profile. Yes, the prices on the two drinks I ordered were pretty steep, but they were comparable to prices I've paid in Las Vegas. Plus, I don't have a problem with paying a premium for a well-made cocktail made with premium ingredients in a comfortable, welcoming setting (the drunken guy next to me who tried to engage with me in a political discussion excluded). Bottom-line: Roquette was a revelation. It served up two of the best cocktails that I've had this year. I can't recommend it enough and it'll be at the top of my list of places to hit the next time I'm in town.
