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!

We loved coming here for a night cap and the fries are soooo good. The martini was solid too. Staff were friendly and it was a cozy but classy vibe read more

Absolutely stop in for a drink! BEST Manhattan I have ever had, the ingredients are genuine quality. My dad ordered an off the menu White Russian, and it was delicious also. Grilled flat bread and hummus was a great snack! Gorgeous atmosphere! read more

Trader Vic's Mai Tai - "A" for effort. The cocktail was still tasty but Trader Vic's Mai Tai it was not. It just didn't have the good marriage of sour and sweet than actually having the Mai Tai at one of the Trader Vic's location. My 3rd drink was Silver Belle is their award winning Martini. Oh, it's good. Also, I love Edlerberries. So, it was just what I needed. My 2nd & 4th drink was Cucumber Basil Gimlet. The bartender, Greg, was so amazing! I mentioned that I haven't had Cucumber Gimlet since Bourbon & Branch's Library. He then asked on of the servers to grab Basil from the restaurant kitchen and he made me the drink! Kudos Greg! Sorry for not making it back before close, the chicken wings from Buffalo Wild Wings gave me food coma and I didn't make it back down to the lounge. read more

Thank god for Oliver's Lounge. I was supposed to meet a bunch of friends for a post-COVID reunion at the Mayflower Park Hotel, but their flight had mechanical problems and they couldn't arrive in Seattle until the next day. Oliver's outrageously good martinis definitely softened the blow that night. Really elegant setting. The burger and fries were pretty great, too. read more

Just popped in for a drink . Very nice ambience. Had an excellent martini . Highly recommended.

Once again HH was perfect! It was of course busy (first weekend in December), but we got a table big enough for our party of 7. Bartender messed up the Manhattans (threw out the ice we like to mix in to keep the drink ya know drinkable...) So he made us minis along with our regulars!! The peanuts on the table are always yummy and they also offer hot food if your in the bar... Looked like onion rings and Mac and cheese! So festive.... I just adore this place for the holidays! The lunch the previous day wasn't great...and neither was my room service salad... So the HH is worth it but maybe not the food. read more

Interesting... I went downstairs for a nightcap, and the bartender seemed annoyed. I ordered a double bourbon. Instead of asking me if I wanted anything in particular he poured me two shots from the well and told me it was last call. Feeling unwelcome, I took my drink with me back to my room and stiffed him on the tip. Next time I'm in town for an extended stay, I'll save myself the aggravation and just pick up a bottle from the local liquor store. read more

Just stopped in for a drink but this place is really beautiful with vintage decor. It's located inside the lobby of the historic Mayflower Park Hotel so you enter through the ornate lobby. We saw there is an Italian restaurant, Andaluca, located off the lobby as well and could make a fun night to start with drinks here at Olivers then walk across the lobby to Andaluca. We're going to try that next time! The cocktails were good and the service was great- the host, manager, and bartender all stopped by our table at leasand we're very friendly. read more

Cheers from Oliver's Lounge located in the Mayflower Park Hotel in downtown Seattle! "Oliver's holds the title for Seattle's 'Best Classic,' as well as having won the titles for 'Best Specialty Martini' and 'Best International Classic Martini.'" If you prefer a dirty martini, go with the Classic. And if you prefer a 'refreshing' and sweeter martini, go with the Silver Belle. Both are award-winning cocktails and rightfully so! I researched cocktail establishments in downtown Seattle to try before our dinner reservation and Oliver's delivered! We will return... read more

i'm a local who lives downtown and will honestly avoid tourist spots. HOWEVER, I must say - this place is fantastic!! the service is excellent and the food and drinks are wonderful. its a new must-visit, especially after work. read more

We stayed at the Mayflower Park hotel 4 nights in August and went to Oliver's several times during our stay. Every time the drinks were fantastic. The Aviation was our favorite. They are delicious and strong. Will was a great bartender and we enjoyed our conversations with him. The lounge is beautiful and classy. We really loved our stay at this hotel! read more

Specializes in gin cocktails which are very good but a little overpriced. Did not get to try much food except for the Mezze Platter. It was basically a platter of crudités with some pita and a tiny bowl of hummus. Definitely not worth the money, even with todays increased food prices . Service was good and ambiance was good. So a great place to go for pre-dinner or after dinner drinks. Just skip the food. At least the mezze platter. read more

Casual, relaxing, and sophisticated atmosphere. Today's complementary happy hour treat...mini corn dog bites!!! Omg, yum and so fun. The bartenders are so nice and accommodating, white glove service all the way-thank you Christopher and Eliseo!!! Quick service and well made hand crafted drinks! Great spot for meetings, after work drinks or a quick bite. read more

Great happy hour drinks and snacks. The service was exceptional and menu was very diverse.

Free appetizers for everyone! Now that that's caught your eye.... haha. I met up with my friend Amy here yesterday after work around 4:30. They do not have a happy hour menu per say, but they do have a daily free appetizer they put out. I think it was dished out around 4:45-5 pm yesterday. Amy had heard this place had free apps and wanted to try it out. Yesterday's free app: fried pickles with a dill dipping sauce of some sort, and grilled pita with hummus! This bar is inside of the Mayflower Park Hotel. So it feels a bit fancy when you walk in. We sat at the bar the whole time. I never felt it got too crowded in here yesterday. The bartender and service in general was great. Drinks we ordered: - drink of the day, Ginger Lemon Drop - Mai Tai The bartender whipped up a drink of the day on the whim and it was tasty! Mai Tai was served all fancy too. Great spot to sit and catch up with a friend! read more

I learned long ago there's something great about a good hotel bar. This little bar fits the bill. Unassuming this place had all the feels for Christmas / Holiday cheer. The little Christmas tree and the big Christmas tree just outside the window really set the stage. They had the only eggnog I have ever liked in my life. They drink menu is fun without being hipstery and the bartender knows how to make a good drink. Good is pretty good to. I wouldn't make it the star of the night but a great place to have a night cap or suss out a date. Just love the low key feel with the well executed drinks read more

We stayed in the mayflower hotel. When we tried the bar the first night we loved it, and came back every night. The best classic cocktails I have had in a public place. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a great aviation, or any other classic! I personally only tried the marinated olives and grilled flatbread with hummus, which were amazing, but the rest of the food also looked great. read more

Yes. It is a charming bar/lounge. The services were excellent, the happy hour foods were a meh (popcorn shrimp) and the drinks quite reasonable. Yet this this Seattle downtown. This is not even close to the best bar in 1 mile radius. Actually, I can found probably 5 bars better than this in a quarter mile radius. read more

Classic, great cocktail lounge with a rich history. Stayed here a while back and loved it, and it didn't hurt to know my child shares the same name (!) read more

I make it a point to stop at Olivers each time I'm in Seattle. Great relaxing Ambiance. Old school solid cocktail menu. My usual go to is the Sazerac. Wife enjoys the Lemon Drop. The bartenders do a good job. Never tried the food, but it's a go to drink spot. I'll continue to stop in each time I'm in Seattle. read more

We ventured down to Oliver's when we found ourselves too tired to go anywhere else, and found the most delightful dining experience we've had in several years. This is not your typical restaurant; the waitstaff and bartenders are true professionals, and the food is out of this world! We ordered the Wagyu burger with Parmesan garlic fries and the pan-roasted lemon-Aleppo chicken. Both were delicious; the chicken...I can't even describe how delicious it was. Our drinks (Silver Belle and Bees Knees) were probably the most sophisticated I've ever had, and were delicious. This isn't your typical hotel lounge; if you want a unique Seattle dining experience that is a cut above, this is your place. read more

If you are in the mood for a great conversation spot with excellent traditional drinks this is the place to be. The fiancé and I were looking for a place to relax and enjoy a nice drink after a heavy day of exploring and this hit the spot. Our server was fantastic and attentive. The classic martini is the best I've ever had! The aviation while not my go to was enjoyable and so was the rest of the evening. This is not the place if you're looking to party, it is definitely more suitable for those who seek an enjoyable calm and relaxed environment. read more

Great place for late night HH. We were served peanuts as soon as we sat down. From the HH menu, we ordered the garlic parmesan fries and the sliders. The fries hit the spot and was really good. The sliders were not bad, but felt a bit dry and bland to me. We also had 3 cocktails from the regular menu, all of them were great. We'll probably be back again another time for HH on a weeknight! read more

I come here once a year for lunch and always look forward to it! This year's lunch was the beet salad + daily soup, which was a wonderful creamy squash. My only regret is that I got a cup instead of the bowl. Their cocktails are tasty and unique as well. The decor is a little dated, but in a good way if that makes sense. Friendly service as well. Yes, it is pricey...but not ridiculous for a downtown swanky bar. I suggest popping by if you are out and about. read more

Nice happy hour options for both food and drink. All were really nicely executed - fresh and flavorful. Lovely atmosphere and service. Things got a bit slow as it got busier but it was manageable. read more

We are in town for a conference and ended up at Oliver's looking for a later evening dinner. We were skeptical of a hotel lounge but needed something in walking distance so we said we'd try. So glad we did!! We were seated right away and the vibe is great. Quiet. Cozy. Classic but not stuffy. Our serve jessie was knowledgeable about the menu and made great recommendations. Their classic cocktails were well made and our food was delicious. I highly recommend the spaghetti pomodoro with prawns. We also tried the panna cotta at her recommendation - perfect texture and also delicious! read more

A coworker and I were looking for a new place to do happy hour and decided to give Oliver's Lounge, inside the Mayflower Park Hotel, a try. Heck, once I heard "free snacks," I was pretty much hooked. When you go in the main hotel entrance, the bar is immediately to your left. It looks a bit dark and small, but once you go in, you'll see that it opens up into a nice, light, high-ceilinged space with windows all around the corner of the building. With lots of plants and brass fixtures, it feels like a fancy tearoom or a conservatory. Fancy! The server explained that they don't really have happy hour drink specials, but "the drinks are basically doubles," and they do have a daily special cocktail for $10. The specialty cocktail that day was a Dark & Stormy, and it was good -- served in a tall glass, a generous pour, and a spicy ginger beer that made it not overly sweet. I had a greyhound after finding out that they use fresh-squeezed juices in their drinks, and it tasted fresh and tart. As for the free appetizers, there's a small table set up in a corner with platters of snacks, and the selection seems to change daily. When we were there, it was a large plate of nachos with salsa and a platter of pizza-roll-type empanada things. The cheese on the nachos seemed to be cold as soon as it was brought out and it didn't look like it was being replaced too often. I wasn't very impressed by the food and wouldn't make that a main reason to return. The clientele is a mix of downtown office workers and tourists who seem to be staying at the hotel, so the dress code is pretty casual and you don't need to be dressed up or anything. Apparently you can reserve tables (maybe only if you're a large group and/or have business with the hotel?), and the bar is on the small side, so it fills up quickly. The restroom is in the hotel lobby and you'll need to ask for the door code to get in. Overall, a pleasant and upscale-feeling hotel bar to have strong, well-made drinks, but if your happy hour isn't complete without really good food, you might want to look elsewhere. read more

Olivers - Drinks and snacks. Oh, they give you free peanuts. - Lounges Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Your average hotel bar is as follows. Overpriced, lacks atmosphere, disinterested bartenders, less than average service and merely just a place to meet up before you head out. Olivers Lounge (Located in the Mayflower Hotel) is the complete opposite of the listed traits. The atmosphere is old world, classic charm, staffed by amazing servers and expert mixologists that pour the perfect cocktails. Speaking of, they do offer a wide range of classic drinks, but also serve some with their own twist like the Uptown Margarita. This drink is amazingly refreshing, served up with Tequila and St Germaine as the base spirits. The setting is beautiful with large windows facing the hustle and bustle of one of America's great cities. read more

In search of a great martini, this is the place to be! Oliver's is located inside of the Mayflower hotel, the bar tender (I've had Jason the past two evenings) is very knowledgeable, never made me feel rushed and I could tell this was a great spot w/so many regulars! I had the Classic martini, a little dirty and it is so tasty! Great place to people watch as well!! read more

We stopped in to get out of the rain so yeah, we had our raincoats on and weren't looking as spiffy as they wanted us too. That's the only reason I can think of for the service we got. It's quiet!! Super duper quiet!! We sat at a table by the window to watch the downpour! We were given PLENTY of time to look at the drink menu before being approached by the waitstaff. She put down six cocktail napkins and said "Can I help you?" Of course you can! We ordered some drinks... she returned with waters and peanuts, those are a nice touch. Our drinks arrived shortly in very tall skinny champagne flute style glasses (small drinks for huge prices). And that's it! We weren't approached again! No food menus, no drink refill requests, nothing! A gentleman came and cleared our empty glasses... but nope, no more service! Therefore, I can't rate the food since we weren't offered any! Wasn't even aware they served food! Our server saw our empty table and finally approached and asked if we needed anything else, we requested the tab and donned our raincoats and left (after paying of course)! Won't be trying Oliver's again... read more

Met my beautiful wife here at the bar exactly 20 years ago TODAY !!! Watchyoself when you go here-you may get married.

Popped in for a quick cocktail. I ordered the Vesper and my husband ordered the sidecar... Both drinks were excellent! I highly recommend this place for drinks.

You wouldn't suspect this place of being great from the street because it's a hotel bar - but it's a secret find. Comfortable/cozy, good place to grab a drink after work downtown, good place to go for a quick drink with a date. It has the feel of a bar that's been around for a century, super friendly bartenders, and most important - great cocktails. And of course, one of our favorites on their menu: The BLT (Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato) - served with a slice of bacon! read more

Okay, I had never had a real honest to goodness Eggnog. Now though, I can say I have, and DAMN it was good. Also, they make a pretty good sidecar. I highly recommend you visit during happy hour, as they have free snacks. When I went, the snacks were cheesy bruschetta, and small beef empanadas. Both were DELICIOUS. read more

On a recent trip to Seattle, the friend I was traveling with and I were in the area looking for a fun happy hour spot. Noticing the high star rating of Oliver's, we decided to give it a try. Four words - Thank God for Yelp! This place was perfect! The decor is all very well maintained vintage everything! The hotel this lounge is located in - the Mayflower Park Hotel - is a perfectly maintained slice of of the late 20's. Some older hotels/restaurants/locations in general can sometimes feel ancient and stuffy but somehow, walking into this place was more relaxing and nostalgic. Our server was Lea and she was entertaining, energetic, helpful, informative, speedy, and sweet. Our service was great overall. Even the bartender was very nice and very helpful on our quest to choose the right wine to pair with our appetizer plate. Next time I'm in Seattle, I'm definitely coming back here!
