Favorite bar in West Seattle. Ambiance is 10/10. Every drink my wife and I have had was really good. Great place to start the night but they are also open really late and have flatbreads that are heavenly after midnight. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Lovely cozy atmosphere and great cocktails![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I wasn't expecting much from from the flatbreads but they were really tasty too. I highly recommend ordering one (or two or three!) with your drinks. read more

Otter on the Rocks is a true West Seattle gem. [[HIGHLIGHT]]A great atmosphere that holds a perfect "upscale casual" vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] A great selection of spirits and wonderful service. Rich in particular is fantastic - everything you would want in someone working the bar. Personable, knowledgeable, and professional while making you feel welcome. Hospitality incarnate. If you haven't tried it yet, I highly recommend it and if you've been before, well then you already know. read more

Amazing cocktail bar!! Rich, my bartender was the best!! Super friendly, responsive, and gave great recommendations. I ordered the Otter old fashioned and the Wanderlust. Both were legit, spirit forward drinks. The Wanderlust had especially a unique tropical twist. I will definitely be back. read more

I kept seeing posts about this bar in my neighborhood but never had the opportunity to stop in (I don't make the trek to the Admiral Junction often). Stopped in with neighborhood friends on Saturday and they had no clue this place was even here lol. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The goth in me appreciated the simple and modern Halloween decorations[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], the Fig flatbread, and the popcorn. My specialty cocktail was underwhelming so I switched to my usual drink. My friend also did the same as her specialty cocktail was too sweet for what she expected. Took a while to get our drinks (2 of 3 of us had alcohol. The 3rd just had soda) and we thought our order was AWOL At around $15 per cocktail I was expecting more impact. Perhaps I need to try a different drink next time. I do wish there was a better variety of snacks, not just flatbread and popcorn. read more

Ok so I was meaning to go here for quite sometime, finally!!! Grabbed my niece and we decided 2 rounds of cocktails & some of that amazing fig flatbread. Great vibes here only as it's a chill place with a team that gives great recommendations and are super chill. If you haven't made it here yet make it your business to bring a book, a dog, your friend or whatever to enjoy a good drink and good vibes. read more

Truly one of the best cocktail experiences I've ever had! Tanner was so well-informed and able to answer any questions we had. If you're thinking of signing up for a cocktail class DO IT! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Otter on the Rocks is great space with plenty of seating, amazing drinks, and some of the best bartending around.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Had a chance to make and drink an old-fashioned and daiquiri during the Cocktail 101 class, and will definitely be taking what we learned back home with me. Couldn't recommend this place more! read more

Best cocktails. Best service. I love it here. Gem in this neighborhood but literally a gem for any part of town. It's really special here because they care, are super knowledgeable, and want to pour into the community with fun! read more

Service here has been 50/50 but the drinks are spot on. Had a couple great bartenders and one that was surly and not very nice. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambience is cute, cozy and a great little place tucked away on a busy street.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'd say, go for the drinks, if you get a good server then even better. read more

Great cocktails and really cute decorations! My friends and I hit this spot for my 30th and although it was a bit pricey all of our drinks were worth the cost. The server was very knowledgeable and gave us great advice to serve each of our unique palettes. If you're wanting to impress a date... go here! Such a gem in West Seattle. read more

My friend and I came in after a long shift after hearing great reviews about the bar. When we came in we noticed the loft area was open and we were told it was open seating. I asked the person upfront if we were able to sit upstairs and she became visibly annoyed and said "sure" begrudgingly. Not wanting to upset them I said are you sure its a yes we dont have to and they responded "i said yeah didn't I." Not sure it was bc we were the only black women there but it def doesnt seem like the bar is for us, the immediate hostility was quite disappointing and I didn't want to spend my money there. Anyways, the BendBow room across the way had amazing service! Check the place out if you want to be treated with human decency. read more

Pretty good drinks. West Seattle needs some more bars that are open late. Gets busy around 9 on the weekends. Good service! I think it would benefit from maybe like a DJ on sat nights. West Seattle needs some spice and it would encourage the large young late twenties early 30s crowd living around here to frequent. Downside: very limited food menu. It has flatbreads, cookies, and they bring you pretzels but I'm allergic to gluten so they'res lit nothing I can eat here. Prevents people from staying longer and spending more. I also don't just want a salad. Weird thing: the bathroom is weird. I've never been in a unisex multi stall restroom and noticed most people entering were a little uncomfortable, even the guys. Some waited outside for a girl to finish using the restroom. Will just take some getting used to, but glad it doesn't have urinals. LMAO. read more

Otter On The Rocks - Old fashioned - Lounges Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This place is cute as hell. I've been wanting to go here for some time now. I dragged my cousin out here one night to try some drinks. I ordered the mystic fashioned and my Thai. Both fantastic drinks, the only thing I didn't like was the after taste of the my Thai. Very almondy and it was noted on the menu. I just didn't think it was going to be the prominent. It's a very tangy citrusy drink so it was a bit weird for my taste bud but the old fashioned was great, very strong and so yummy. Didn't get food but I will definitely have to come to try the flatbread. Service was great. The two bartenders working were friendly and attentive. Looks like a great place for date night. read more

Otter On The Rocks - Mystic old fashioned. - Lounges Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I LOVED this quiet little bar in West Seattle. I saw Otter on the Rocks on Instagram and we stopped in for their warm and cozy holiday ambiance. The bar tender greeted us upon arrival and was very kind and welcoming! We ordered off the holiday drink menu- I got a mulled wine and my partner had a holiday eggnog. Both drinks were super festive! Our friends came to join us and they had the mulled wine and some cocktails from their original menu as well. Otter on the Rocks has a cute little fancy flatbread oven, so we shared some apple bacon flatbreads. They were wonderful- 10/10 on the bar snack meter! Overall, we had a super fun wintery double date at Otter on the Rocks and I would 100% recommend stopping in for a cocktail and a flatbread! read more

Cute little place. Pretty laid back with cozy ambience. They have good drinks. It's a perfect place for small intimate party. I was there with my husband and my friend with husband. It was our first time and it did give us great first impression. They have very limited selection on finger food. I'd suggest you have dinner elsewhere before coming here. read more

I'd researched cocktail bars in West Seattle and came across this one. Overall, the positive reviews regarding the quality of the drinks live up to the hype. The ambience was nice too. Be prepared for a long wait time to get water at the table, and/or put your order in, and to get your $15 cocktail. Not sure why they wouldn't staff up if they know they have a private party on a Saturday night.. isn't it better to have seamless service and have an extra set of hands... Most people left after having only one cocktail. They bled money by the thousands due to the long wait time. Their old fashioned has a burned marshmallow as part of the garnish....which involves them reaching into a marshmallow jar (no tongs or gloves) and then roasting it.. didn't seem hygienic at all...after they had touched credit cards, cleaning cloths, dirty glasses etc. so not appealing. ...hygienically. I'm not sure I would go back; at least not soon. read more

Lovely cocktail bar in West Seattle. Heard alot about this place and finally visited this one last week on a lazy Thursday. The ambience and decor is modern. We were promptly seated by the bartender who was also our server. We wasted no time and rivht asay placed our order - mystic old fashioned, hidden pebble, spring fling and summer break. We loved all their drinks but the mystic old fashioned was the best for me. The drinks were very well made and tasted great. They also have something for everyone on the menu here. They do serve some finger food here too but we stopped by for only cocltails so maybe will come back for food some other time. All in all loved this cocktail bar in West Seattle and will certainly come back here with friends. read more

One of my favorite bars! The vibes are cozy and jazzy, the owners are the sweetest and if the bar isn't too crowded, they'll make you off the menu drinks to taste test. They don't have a lot of food options but the drinks are 10/10. read more

Otter On The Rocks - cocktail making class - Lounges Near Me - Seattle, Washington

went to check out this admiral addition and it's a gem! the otter is going to be a neighborhood mainstay, if this past weds, the start of their second week open, is any indication. i got there about 5:30pm and there were only two other tables occupied but by the time we left a couple of hours later, i counted easily 20 or more individuals occupying tables both on the ground level and in the upstairs loft space. the space is designed well with cute, stylish touches. the chairs we were in towards the door weren't the most comfortable after an hour or so but maybe i chose poorly because right at the window i think there's some blue upholstered seats that might be more prime and in demand for those who intend to remain for the long haul. the bar tender waited on us and was knowledgeable about the drinks, helping with decision making at times. the owner came by and was touched by my enthusiastic comment about the space and the opening. we didn't eat, just drank, but it's a space that i hope will thrive. you can tell there's been a lot of effort and intentionality in its opening. the drink menu is super creative and my oaxacan seoulS (yeah, i had more than one :)) were super tasty. the sesame oil float hit the spot and accented the other drink flavors. keep basking in the soon to be here spring sun, otter! looking forward to more visits in the coming months and to your continued success! read more

Love this place! Varied menu, photogenic and delightful drinks, lots of refreshing options for the warm summer days. Serves food and live entertainment! Will be back. Took the king county water taxi over to explore west Seattle and this place was on my radar for awhile now. It's about a mile from the water taxi terminal or a short 7 minute bus ride - awesome accessibility for the nondrivers! Arrived around 4:30pm on a Saturday and settled in some cozy blue chairs inside. There is a small outside patio for those who prefer. A great interior space with some colorful wall art along the long side of the space. There's also a cozy loft that looks really inviting for groups seeking a more intimate experience. The beverages were divine and photogenic. I ordered the Madam Mim which is this beautiful violet color. I don't care for cucumber at all but I'm so glad I took a chance on this because it's a light hint of cucumber that really completes the beverage. Next time I want to try one of the many flatbreads, and stay for some jazz music. Photo of the mystic fashioned my husband ordered. read more

We visited Otter on the Rocks on opening day! I believe that since it was opening day and we were there only about an hour in, the staff was working out usual first day jitters and kinks- we were there for 2.5 hours and were only able to have two drinks. The drinks were great and lived up to expectations. The renovation from Parliament to Otter is pretty remarkable and they did a great job! Think of a cross between Nook/Riccolto/Arthurs with the trendy decor, fixtures, and lighting, and you've got Otter. Definitely will need to go back once the hubbub dies down to try the food menu! read more

Super friendly spot for cocktails, owner went out of his way to make us feel welcome! You know the "art" of being there when you need them and not hovering over you constantly? He has it down pat. And was willing to educate us on cocktails too. We loved the open air vibe in the front which was great for people watching. I'm an interior designer and the inside is extremely well done...from the color palette to the geometric shapes - it really flows and blends well. Don't hesitate to stop in for a drink (or two!). read more

One of the best cocktail bars in Seattle. DEFINITELY the best cocktails in West Seattle. The owners Dave and Tanner are just so lovely. Most importantly, they are connected to the community. OOTR is a host of music/comedy events. THIS IS WHAT BRINGS US TOGETHER! Cocktails are top notch, top shelf, and one of a kind. They use high quality ingredients and have all sorts of original creations. I'm VERY impressed by the level of service/quality/ambience here. MUST GO!

Overall it's a great niche bar with equally unique drinks. Great for dates and groups alike. Open late on Saturday nights. Clean, safe, and enjoyable atmosphere. I didn't get to try the cocktails but the menu had a nice variety for everyone and the people in my group were satisfied their drinks. The old fashion came with a toasted marshmallow! A nice twist to a traditional drink. The flatbread was flavorful. I wish there were more food options. Like roasted Brussel sprouts or something equally easy to eat. Had a great time and look forward to coming again! read more

Expensive cocktails and very low energy staff. The vibe here was very bland. It's like a manufactured IKEA vibe. Can't explain it. I live close and it's a shame. read more

This spot is new to West Seattle and is a welcome addition. The cocktails are comparably priced, very high quality, unique and delicious. We tried the My Thai and the Seattle fog. The My Thai was a delightful twist on the classic with a really nice rum heavy center and long pandan finish, the Seattle fog is citrusy and cozy. We liked both. We also tried the flat fig and goat cheese flatbread- also good and came out quickly. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this spot before everyone discovers it. read more

While visiting family in Seattle my daughter suggested we try this new bar, and I'm so glad we did. The vibe was fantastic and the drinks were amazingly creative and delicious. Fresh ingredients, all kinds of homemade syrups, interesting blends of different liquors, really spot on!! First and foremost, though, was the service. Anyone who came through the door was immediately and enthusiastically greeted by whoever saw them first. Very impressive!!!! Great place, great and fun mixologists who clearly love what they do, can't wait to return to Seattle and visit again! read more

Otter on the Rocks is the cocktail bar for everyone. It's nice and has fantastic drinks, but is entirely unpretentious and feels like part of the community in N Admiral.

This place quickly became my favorite spot after moving into the neighborhood. read more

Adorable cocktail bar, I went here tonight specifically for the open mic which was fantastic with a good mix of musical artists. Great list of cocktails and the server worked the room well and was very attentive even for a full house. I loved the lighting and they had a good mix of seating including low chairs in the front, tables, high tables, bench seating along the wall, bar seating, a couple couch nooks and a loft with some extra seating looking down into the crowd. Well lit and decorated l, such a good vibe. Love to have a bar like this in my city! read more
