I came on a lovely early summer day and it was very sunny. I got a seat out under the sun, but it proved to be way too sunny, because by the time I finished my beer and truffle fries, I was more than ready to go inside. It was odd the day I came as it was early evening and there weren't that many people here but seems all the shaded seats were already reserved, so any walk ins coming in were shown to pretty sunny table tops. There was a 4 top that sat next to me and a French speaking table and a little half way into their drinks, they just moved to the shaded area, but saw that waitstaff told them they could only stay for a little bit. Wow. I also ordered some truffle fries and gosh the price tag for that was close to $20! Wow, inflation is seriously a problem! Really great views on a nice day in Seattle. I'd definitely come back, but know to reserve a spot in the shade next time.

Have enough staff Ok fine whatever Then we asked if we could be sat so we could watch the game and whenever the servers/and or kitchen could catch up and take our order She said "absolutely not!" She was extremely rude I then asked could we be sat where we could see the game? She said "we can't guarantee that" in a super snotty tone The restaurant was basically empty They finally sat us 20 minutes later after she pulled the same thing with 5 other parties that walked in and asked the same thing and were met with the same attitude They literally had 2 people at the host stand standing g around doing nothing but telling people no The server was extremely nice and the bartenders were getting drinks out really quick and helping with the food running.. We got our food an hour later (we ordered sliders and fries and I ordered a watermelon burrata salad that was tiny and $25 The food was way overpriced and the attitude of the hostesses this was a horrible experience Also don't advertise that you are hosting watch parties and then not have the staff to support The food is also really over priced We got sliders, fries, a salad, 2 beers and it was $100 And they have a service charge of 20% and only part of it goes to staff They expect you to tip on top of it because the hotel keeps part of it All in all a pretty miserable experience

I like the decor and the ambience. Bartenders make fancy drinks and the food is unique and taste…read morepretty decent. To me the drink prices seem pretty high, but I don't go out that much in downtown so maybe this is a typical price for downtown. the views were great, especially if you were sitting near the windows. Great views of the Seattle waterfront and the Ferris wheel. Bathrooms were decent, but the hallway way to get to the bathroom is almost completely in the dark and so if you have night blindness, it is very hard to see. Overall, I really like the place and it would definitely go back. It's got a great vibe to it. And although it is not a speakeasy, it did kind of remind me of a speakeasy vibe, which is something I really like

I visited on a Saturday night with a close friend who is South African, and she immediately felt right back at home! The ambiance is intimate, cozy, and classy without trying too hard. The kinda sophisticated place for adults to have a beverage after dinner! The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, adding to the relaxed and inviting vibe. We tried a well known South African Shot called a Springbok Shooter ; named after the national rugby team due to its green and gold colorshot. My friend being a native swore by this classic. Unfortunately, it was not for me. A mix of crème de menthe and Amarula, it honestly tasted like NyQuil in shot form. An experience, yes. A repeat, nope! That said, the Espresso Martini was absolutely perfect. Smooth, balanced, and exactly what I needed for a post dinner pick me up. It fully redeemed the drink portion of the night and then some. Overall, Karoo Cafe is a fantastic spot with a warm atmosphere, great service, and standout cocktails. I would absolutely recommend it, especially if you are looking for something unique and genuinely welcoming in Seattle.

The drinks were tasty and well-made, which is really what you want at a place like this. The service also stood out--in a good way. The staff were kind and attentive, and everything came out pretty quickly, which made the experience smooth and enjoyable. The food, on the other hand, was pretty average. It's basically what you'd expect from typical bar food--nothing bad, but nothing particularly memorable either. If you're coming here, I'd recommend focusing on the drinks and the view rather than making it a full dinner stop. Overall, it's a solid spot for drinks, good service, and great views.

I am so grateful for my experience at Life On Mars. It turned out to be the highlight of a…read moretumultuous Seattle trip and I look back on it fondly. We came here mostly for one thing: I absolutely could not wait for their gluten-free vegan chick'n pot pie. A pie i'd been waiting months to try. A pie unlike any other pie. A pie that I still think about to this day. We walked straight into a Cardi B drag show. And by "walked into" I mean we opened the door and Hot Pink Shade sashayed right in front of us. It was exactly the kind of welcome we love. It was also the first green flag in a sea of green flags at Life On Mars. I could barely sit still as I waited to order my GF/VG pot pie. We got the drinks outta the way (a peach hard cider for me and a fancy-schmancy cocktail for the lady). I was positively GIDDY when Anna came to take our order and I blurted out chick'n pot pie excitedly. I nearly died when she said they didn't have any. Normally it wouldn't have been such a big deal, but I was from out of town and had literally been craving this damn pie for months! And I lied, I didn't nearly die but I DID nearly cry and that's almost as bad. Even the bestie lamented about what a let down this was. Anna. Dear, sweet Anna. We must have looked really hard up because this sweet baby angel offered to ask the cooks if they could whip one up special just for me. Let me tell you why this is a big deal: For one, she didn't need to do that. That's going above and beyond, and she was such a graceful little buttercup when she did it. Second, making a gluten free biscuit is a finicky, precise, detailed process. It sucks, honestly, and I don't blame them for not having them every day. I nearly cried when she came back and told us the cooks said YES. And this time i'm not lying. It was beyond the type of customer service i'm used to. It was.... humane. It was...empathetic. It was...totally first world problems but it meant so much to me! Especially since Anna said it had been a DAY and she was at her wits end. For her to have a rough day and still have the grace and compassion to make my stupid GF/VG chick'n pot pie dreams come true.....well, yeah, it made me a bit teary eyed. The pot pie was delicious, as expected. It was nostalgic and comforting, like a big hug in a bowl. The flavors were rich and deep, the biscuit soft and flaky; it was one of the most delicious things i've tasted on my GF/VEG journey. Between the food, the drinks, the customer service and the drag show......this was five stars all around. No doubt. I don't see the GF chick'n pot pie on their menu anymore. Maybe it's a seasonal thing? I hope it comes back, i'll be checking. And when it pops up again, so will I. Thank you, Anna. Thank you to the cooks on 2/19/26. Thank you to Hot Pink Shade, ISIS and King Leo Mane.

Who deserves 10 stars? The Loupe Lounge does!…read more Here is the story. If you have a long layover you can stay at the airport or you can be a rebel and venture into the city. I am a rebel with a food cause and opted to dine at The Loupe Lounge on my layover. Well, that was the master plan but coming from Maui, there were delays and my little mission was diverted. Abort? Absolutely NOT! Being a SUPER optimistic about everything in life, I rushed to make a 5:30 p.m. reservation at 7:00 p.m. I know, it was pushing it but for $150 a person I did not want this opportunity to go to waste. We arrived at The Space Needle and were whisked up to The Loupe Lounge. The host was not sure if they could still serve us so she rushed to get the manager. She must have gone back to NYC Fashion Week because here comes the manager looking like a whole GQ model, super trendy manager in the house! Well, he accommodated us, very cool of him. You're an Angel cause we were starving! The food was packaged to go, it was so delicious I'm super bummed that we didn't get to experience this in person. It was pretty in a box can't imagine what it would have been like in person! Beggars can't be choosers! The meal was fantastic! Caviar was packaged with ice! How accommodating and it passed TSA. Drinks were amazing and Andrea was the BEST waitress! Lucky we had her! Overall, if I'm back in Seattle this is back on my to-do list! Very cool experience and worth every penny! Honestly pretty cheap considering all you get! The drinks alone were worth it!

Old Fashioned - 4 stars Supernova Spritz - 4 stars…read more The lounge at the top of the Space Needle is all about the view--and that's the reason to be here. The drinks are nothing special and definitely not the highlight, but they get the job done while you take in one of the best panoramas in Seattle. The revolving lounge gives you a full 360-degree view of the city, so every seat feels like the best seat in the house. You can see all of downtown, the Puget Sound, and the peninsula across the water as the floor slowly rotates. It's an easy, relaxed way to take in everything without having to move around. Bottom line: don't come expecting craft-cocktail magic. Come for the incredible views, the unique experience, and the chance to see Seattle from above in a way that never gets old.

Parking can be a wee bit tricky so waking, ride share, or public transit will be your best options. But if you have to drive we found a paid lot a few blocks away While this wasn't the best tiki bar we've ever been to, it did stand out for the presentation of drinks, the cool (and massive) octopus, the immersion, and overall vibe is nice and atmospheric They have four non-alcoholic options which I really appreciated as the one driving for the night! They also have standard as well as unique takes on tiki drinks. We were surprised to find so many options with vodka and tequila which isn't common in a more traditional tiki bar We had the: - "Kiki Premier Mai Tai" which wasn't as rum forward as we would have thought, especially given how many rums it had in it; but overall it was a classic style Mai Tai and tasty with quality rums - "One Eyed Willy" which has a fun presentation in a chest with smoking dry ice. This one you could taste the rum more and overall it was a really enjoyable drink and experience - "See A Light" which is a non-alcoholic option and the taste was just as good as the presentation. Came in a lovely angler fish tiki mug with the light and everything! The taste was complex and something that thought went into creating - "Four Boys" another non-alcoholic option that was the coolest visual as it came in a "steaming" crock pot. The taste was very unexpected, in a good way, and is a drink I would get again Overall the drinks were about a 4/5 but with the charming atmosphere and whimsical presentation it's a 5 star experience that is just fun

First and foremost, you need to make a reservation. I did end up needing to move my reservation up because of scheduling but it worked out and the staff were really nice about helping me. This is a speakeasy inside Rumba, I did not know that going in. It's incredibly cool to walk into the bar. The decor is amazing. It's super small though with a few tables and bar seating. It was kinda loud when I was there since most tables were filled. My server was nice as well and was able to answer all my questions. Ambiance was exceptional and is such a cool place to visit. Most of the cocktails came with fancy show of some sort and were extravagant - and equally delicious. I got The Inside Passage, but there were at least three others I was trying to chose from. There was a lot of thought that went into the presentation of each of the drinks and I love that attention to detail. Since it was around dinner time I did want to order food and drink. They did not have the Kikisoba (they ran out) and that made me sad, but I was able to order the Rumba sliders and a basket of fries. I'm not a huge sliders fan, and I did order the caramelized pineapple on the side. The sliders were incredibly flavorful and the perfect size. For anyone wanting to visit Seattle, I do highly recommend this place. It's a really cool vibe and the food is really good too.
