    Double Eagle Rare!
    Mark B.

    Great Bourbon spot on the second floor of the Hyatt Regency, next to Daniel's. The Bartenders and waitresses were on point and very personable. Mr. Green really knows his Bourbon and they have a great selection of Top Shelf picks and rare finds, some off menu, Pricing for the most part is reasonable but expect to pay for the good stuff. The atmosphere is definitely more relaxed and more upscale compared to the bar downstairs. The only draw back is that they close early, at 9am, Sun-Thur.

    Radiator Whiskey was awesome! First of all, we were able to grab seats at the bar instantly--a…read moreshocker considering it was after 6 PM. And then we were seated at a table within five minutes. What a pleasant surprise! We were celebrating a big anniversary, so we settled in for a leisurely meal with a "we're-glad-we're-walking-home" amount of alchohol (Heh.) We had the Radiator Barrel Picks flight for $33 (Angel's Envy, Russell's Reserve, Maker's Mark Select Volume 3), and it rocked our world. We also really enjoyed the Local flight for $20 (Westland Single Malt, OOLA Bourbon, Woodinville Rye). I had the current Barrel Aged Cocktail, which was... fine. Not mind-blowing. MUCH better was hubby's Triad (Four Roses Single Barrel, Los Vecinos, Ciociaro Amaro, black pepper tincture, lemon bitters, Szechuan spritz). It was unlike anything either of us had ever had--in the best possible way. Complex, weird, and absolutely delicious. Alas, we were already ridiculously full from feasting our way through Seattle all day, but our waiter was awesome and happily let us split everything. We had the Steak & Potatoes (seared coulotte, roasted duck-fat potatoes, rapini salad, pickled onion), and those potatoes were legitimately one of the best things we ate on the entire trip. Somehow crispy and rich on the outside but astonishingly light and fluffy inside. We also shared the Fried Bread Pudding with bourbon caramel and whipped cream, because apparently there is always room for fried bread pudding. The restaurant itself is cozy, quirky, and masculine in a really fun way, and the staff were attentive, knowledgeable, and never made us feel rushed. If we lived in Seattle, this would absolutely be our "we have something to celebrate" place.

    This place is suspiciously highly rated, making me question the legitimacy of the reviews here…read more My experience was less than stellar and here is a list of observations of which each one would have been enough to deter me from coming back. In no particular order. It's a greasy spoon .... so unclean the tables are sticky. Enough said. I could not confirm that it was real Woodford Reserve Bourbon in my custom Manhattan, and by the insta-headaches it gave me, it certainly wasn't. Serving well-whiskey under brand label is illegal and the Washington State Liquor Board wouldn't take kindly if I reported it on my phone before even paying the bill the next time. Radiator Whiskey with a entire wall full of Whiskey bottles is playing with fire and just crossed the line with me. I will be back to check up on that. The pulled pork sandwich was ok, but minimalist dry with just a sprinkle of coleslaw and red onions. So was the side salad, dry, with the dressing being 'barely there.' Barely there was also the AC on this night of a heatwave. With closed windows. I was sweaty and couldn't wait to get out into fresh air of the same temperature while sticking to my table. As for the vibe, they play alternative punk rock, maybe a bit too loud for good conversation. All I can say here is each to their own, but the place just wasn't for me.

    (Visiting from Florida)…read more Came here for a Birthday Brunch and enjoyed the tasting/ pairing menu. There was six courses with a cocktail/mini cocktail for each for $60, with the option to add oysters or steak, eggs, bone marrow for additional cost. The drinks were curated by one who was definitely passionate about their craft and the food aligned, as well. The interior was vibey and set up like a lounge, with artist, urban/underground decor from the dining room to the bathroom. The service was the best -- th owner was super kind, welcoming, and had a lot of hospitality. Our server was also super sweet and passionate about the drinks she curated. It wasn't crowded at all on a Sunday for such a deal, so that was a super pleasant surprise, too. The parking is free, but definitely an area in proximity to homeless people but they were kind and minded their business. I also hear they have a night life vibe as well.

    I promise my review stars are based on the food, and the drink I had but I had to share what…read morehappened musically at this bar. haha The place is so nice when you walk in and has such a COOL and COMFY vibe. I would love to have a nice bar to patronize, but the bar food menu doesn't match bar food vibe. I am curious what dinner would be like here. Whoever owns this bar and whoever is curating this menu is absolutely a music head. No debate. And here's your gentle PSA: please pass that love of music AND hip-hop history to your waitstaff. Because what happened to me... was personal. There are three drinks on the menu that basically scream, "someone in here grew up on hip-hop and never emotionally left the 90s." We've got: ATLiens Aquemini 2 ____ a Butterfly (fill in the blank, but if you know, you KNOW Kendrick Lamar, 2015) Now listen this is not "aqua-mini." This is Outkast. Andre 3000. Big Boi. Southern rap royalty. It is pronounced Ah-kwim-in-eye The waitress looks me dead in my soul and says, "Oh, you mean the Aqua-mini." I was transported out of my body. Now here's the issue: I would've let it go...if a Kendrick Lamar song wasn't also on the menu. Because why are we confidently mispronouncing Outkast while casually referencing Pulitzer-level rap on the same drink list? At that point I realized I was surrounded by people under 34 who had never had to wait for TRL, decode a CD booklet, or defend Southern rap. No one in my group shared my emotional breakdown. Not one gasp. Prices & Drinks (important part): Let's talk about the $18 drink situation. I paid $18 for an Aquemini and received...vibes. Not buzz. At $18, I expect at least a whisper of alcohol. Instead, I got decorative hydration. My husband's Blueberry Smash? Better. More flavor. More personality. So now I'm sitting there thinking: I paid premium pricing for a drink I had to defend and pronounce correctly myself... and still left sober. Food: I was a little hungry and ordered fried shrimp (not on the online menu) The shrimp was fine. Just fine. The dipping sauce tried its best, and I respect that effort. Why is everything either wagyu, mussels, duck, or something you need a culinary degree to pronounce like gruyere but I can't just get a basic bar plate? Wagyu sliders, chicken bites would have been nice because I don't usually go out thinking, "Tonight feels like Wagyu and mussels at the bar." Service: I'm from Los Angeles, so I'm familiar with urban sketchy with a side of vibes. The activities near the parking spaces was very sketch. I was with a group of 8, including my husband so I felt protected by numbers. Inside, it was a Friday night but surprisingly empty. The music was loud enough to feel like a party, but quiet enough that you could still hear each other. We tried to rearrange seating to accommodate our group and the waitress said "I'm not walking around you, so keep this aisle clear." Which was fair, but also, there are gentler ways to say "I need this walkway." Or tell us the better way to set up seating in the empty bar. I didn't have a second drink frankly because I was never asked. Most places I go the waitress will come and ask if I want another drink. I don't live in Seattle, so this was my intro to night time bar life in the city. Sleepless in Seattle? I think in 2026 it's more like Sleepy in Seattle by looking at the emptiness.

The bartender next to us was incredibly friendly and offered excellent drink recommendations. The drinks are on the pricier side, but the quality, presentation, and overall atmosphere make it worth a visit if you're in the area. The bar staff were kind, attentive, and helped make for a great experience.

    My experience at Deep Dive was unfortunately overshadowed by the service…read more I'll start with the positives because they're deserved. The atmosphere is absolutely beautiful. The space is elegant, unique, and lives up to the photos. I also want to recognize the manager, who was polite, professional, and kindly explained that reservations were required. I completely understand and respect that policy. Unfortunately, my interaction with the bartender before speaking with the manager was the complete opposite. As I tried to get her attention, I felt like she repeatedly looked at me with annoyance and made me feel unwelcome. Rather than simply explaining the reservation policy herself, she went to get the manager instead. She had a problem with Hispanics. She refused to engaged at all. The way I was treated left me feeling uncomfortable and embarrassed, especially as someone who was genuinely excited to visit. A beautiful venue can only go so far when the hospitality doesn't match. I would have happily accepted that reservations were required if I had simply been treated with basic kindness and respect from the start. I truly hope this was an isolated incident because the location itself is stunning, and the manager handled the situation professionally. Unfortunately, because of my interaction with the bartender I've added in the photos, I don't see myself returning. Sadly they have a Prejudice bartender.
