Hard to find, worth locating it! Not the main stream place but a hidden gem! Miss Kari was the best bar tender and the menu of drinks "Setlist" is all because of her! You have to try the Triad. Atmosphere was great, no TVs and lite music. She was quick with answers and drinks, handled the bar like a pro. Try the burnt ends, you'll need some food.

went to this spot for Seattle restaurant week and overall I liked the spot but I felt like the food items were very either hits or misses for me, and that we felt like the meal started off really good and each dish kept getting less good. We really liked the burnt ends and that was probably my favorite part of the meal, the sauce was very good. The cheese dish was good but I felt like it was a lot of cheese for the amount of bread, the garlic bits in it was my favorite part-- def eat this fast as the Cheese hardens quick. The beef tartare was alright but overall wasn't very flavorful and a bit bland to us. Surprisingly we all really liked the pasta, very nice in contrast with all the heavy meats and cheeses we were eating -- we saw on the menu it was quite pricey but was def worth for the SRW deal. We all thought the brisket dish was meh, and that the meat was dry and we all didn't like the horseradish cream it came with --- honestly I thought it was like a very sour sour cream and didn't enjoy it at all. My friend did love the cornbread side it came with tho and that was her fav thing of the entire meal but you can just order that as a side. As for the bread pudding, I felt like it was just meh -- the cream it comes with is very alcohol tasting and the bread pudding itself was alright, very crunchy on the outside and soft inside. Overall I like this spot for the dishes I like but the dishes I didn't like I really didn't, and so far it's very 50 50

Our first time here! It's tucked away with the other businesses near Pike Place Market. It's where Wild Fish Poke is and you'll see their sign on the right and then up the stairs! It's across from Matt's in the Market and on the 2nd floor. Place is small so they DO require a reservation! They have an assortment of drinks, several bourbons and whiskey. I got the autumns mark which has 4 different liquors and fall spices. My bf tried the "pickle back" which is a shot of bourbon + a shot of pickle juice. I'm not a fan of bourbon but man, you gotta try the pickle juice! If you like pickles, you will like this, their own recipe too! The loaded tots you must get! Truly loaded with tender pulled pork, pickled goat horn peppers (so good), smoked cheddar cheese, GRAVY and a soft fried egg on top! I LOVED their braised beef brisket! Three hunks of beef, slowly braised and oh so tender with arugula on the side and some nice buttered onions with subtle horseradish crème on the side. Dip the beef in that crème and braised sauce, delicious! To end the good food and drinks, we had the fried bread pudding that had bourbon caramel and whipped cream. You NEED TWO of these! Like it was that good and good for one person if you ask me. Our server was delightful and entertaining! Atmosphere has nice vibes, definitely casual.

Came here for a bite to eat while in town. This place was a vibe and extremely picture worthy! You do have to be of age to enter to grab a bite to eat, which I enjoyed. A peaceful meal! The food was tasty & the service was attentive & quick. We had a window seat and were able to look down below on the street. Overall great place for a nice bite to eat or drink!

My wife and I went to Radiator Whiskey to try out their happy hour. It was very solid. $10 cocktails, with quality spirits, not just well drinks. I ordered the brisket dip sandwich and my wife ordered the pulled pork and salad. Both dishes were tasty, and it was A LOT of food. Our server was fantastic. The restaurant had an awesome interior. We really enjoyed our experience. Go check it out.

Came here during my husband's work trip over the weekend and we were pleasantly surprised. It is a bit tricky to find as it's nestled inside the building and have to take the elevator but was totally worth the venture. The view near the windows is absolutely amazing. Our server was great and had honest recommendations for us. We both ordered the cheeseburger with a side of tater tots! Not only was the service personable but the food served was delicious. The brioche buns were sooo good on the burger. Highly recommend visiting Radiator Whiskey if you're visiting Pike's Place!

Happy Hour Smash Bacon Cheeseburger with Tots.

Cozy, dark bar located in Pike Place Market. Has a bar area on left when your walk in and separate dining area on the right. Decided to check out their Happy Hour menu and all items ordered were delivered quickly and tasted great! The service was attentive with multiple staff ensuring my drink was never dry and my water glass was always full (refilled 4x). Huge selection of Whiskey on their Whiskey wall!

Unfortunately, I don't know how this place is worth going to. I feel like this place should only be a bar and tapas. Period. They should not be a restaurant at all. We ordered two appetizers, pork tater tots they were good the meat was dry, that should have warned me to not get more food. We also got burnt ends, which were very "burnt" to say the least ‍ but we didn't think anything to be as bad as what was to come. We ordered two entrees a brisket and fried chicken, both were sent back. The brisket was so tough we couldn't cut it with a knife and the chicken was so overcooked, even a cornbread was burnt? Why serve a burnt corn bread, that costs nothing to make a new one to put on the plate before you send it out. They compt us both entrees which I wasn't expecting, we gave a nice tip and left a bit hungry so I hope people only go to drink so they are not disappointed.

I don't leave a lot of reviews on Yelp, but after my experience, please understand, this is single handedly one of the best meals I've had while traveling. Growing up in North Carolina exposed me to having pork in just about every way imaginable. However, I have never in my life experienced the pork shank the way it was prepared for me here. The dish was tender, crispy, and one of the most delicious treats I've ever had. I savored every morsel and wished for more. I can't leave out the peppers on the side. Elevating the experience and bringing a bit of spice without being overbearing. Did I mention the bourbon selection? I was able to enjoy a single barrel Larceny Wheated Bourbon. On the rocks I was able to fulfill the destiny of this absolutely delicious experience. Too many bourbons to experience in one night but was able to take advantage of the closing happy-hour and get the "well shot" of Buffalo Trace. I mean, what? BT is your well? I'm in 100% If you like melt your face food followed up with unobtainable bourbon, you've found your place. Assuming you can actually find this place...I circled the block 3 times before I found it. Keep hinting, trust me, it's worth it.

In town for 24 hours on business, I was looking for a place within walking distance of my hotel for a drink and a bite. After a thorough Yelp search, I thought Radiator Whiskey in Pike Place Market looked promising. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it delivered big time on that promise. I arrived a little after its 3PM opening on a Tuesday in time for happy hour. Radiator Whiskey truly looked the part of a whiskey bar with its eye-catching backbar stocked with an impressive selection of brown spirits. Radiator Whiskey's lineup of bourbons, ryes, scotch, and all things whisk(e)y was impressive and seemed exceedingly fair in its pricing especially for those highly-sought after allocated whiskey pours. That said, I was in the mood for a cocktail or two. After looking over the happy hour specials, I was very tempted to try one of their barrel-aged classic cocktails, but I opted for one of their "Headliners" instead, the Angel's Wings ($26), a fascinating concoction made with coconut fat-washed, Radiator Whiskey barrel pick, Angel's Envy bourbon; raspberry mint syrup; Nocino walnut liqueur; dry curacao; root beer bitters; and vanilla rose spritz. While it was a pricey drink even by my hometown Las Vegas standards, I found it to be worth it in terms of its creativity and my overall enjoyment. Since it was happy hour, I took advantage of the happy hour priced Fried Pig Ears ($10). They were excellent, if you like offal like I do. I've had pig ears before that were a bit tough and chewy, but these nicely seasoned, perfectly fried, and practically melt in your mouth tender. I washed it down with the Triad ($17) made with Four Roses Single Barrel bourbon, Los Vecinos mezcal, Amaro Ciochiaro, black pepper tincture, lemon bitters, and a Szechuan spritz. It was boozy, smoky, and spicy goodness. Radiator Whiskey really blew my socks off. It won me over with its imaginative, expertly-crafted, delicious cocktails. The one food item I tasted left me wanting to try some more of their offerings the next time I'm in town. A must for cocktail lovers!

This place has a very cute and wonderful vibe!!! There's a beautiful dining area for a world class experience! The food is quaint and delicious! I personally didn't care for the chips (but don't like chips all that much), but my friend loved them! Every food and drink was unique and beautiful! The staff was super friendly and very happy! I love when a server is as amazing as the foods & drinks! I highly recommend & will be back!!! You won't regret spending your time and money here!!!

Radiator Whiskey was excellent. The service was friendly and attentive from start to finish, and the atmosphere was warm and relaxed. I had the fried pork shank and cornbread -- both were outstanding. The honey butter with the cornbread was especially good, and the pork shank was cooked perfectly. Overall, a great meal made even better by the staff's attentiveness.

The menu looks good but chose someplace else because there's no gluten free buns for the sandwiches.

Does this place offer online gift cards for purchase? I asked them via email and social media and received no response.

Do they serve food all the way until midnight, or does the kitchen close earlier than the bar?

anytime before last call

Are those under 21 able to just dine in this facility? The reviews are amazing, and I REAAALLLYYYY wanna eat the food, but my boyfriend and I aren't old enough to drink.

The food is amazing but it is an over 21 establishment. Sorry

Good place for birthday dinner?

The restaurant does have some space for larger parties, but in general I recall it being pretty cozy. I would say yes depending on the size of your party, whether everyone likes meat, and your desire to eat a pretty heavy meal.… Read more

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!

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.
