What a cute spot! So cozy and eclectic! The bartender was so nice and the cocktails were on point! Such friendly patrons as well! We got so many good recommendations for things to do and see. So glad we gave this place a go! read more

What a super cute bar!!! A friend suggested this place for drinks before dinner. It's a really cozy bar with a whimsical drink menu. Not sure if they do like rotate with different themes for their cocktails, but when i went last week, the wall had a list of Lord of the Rings themed cocktails - very creative! I ended up ordering the Evenstar which had gin and elderflower in it (i love elderflower) and it was so refreshing and delicious! Our bartender was friendly and awesome and the bar is dog-friendly (check out all the polaroids of past doggo guests - it's the cutest!). There's some bar seating downstairs and a super cute living room space upstairs. I love this place so much and can't wait to come back! read more

Obsessed with this bar. Super cute and probably could fit right in on Diagon Alley. The bar has two levels and lots of eclectic comfy seating with bar seating available if you want to chat up the knowledgeable and friendly Bartenders. The drinks? Delicious. The menu? Comprehensive. You'll find at least one drink you'll want to absolutely try, if not more! Will absolutely be back!! read more

After being in Seattle for over 4 years, I had periods of time where I felt I ran out of bars to go to since I go to different bars often. However, I discovered this place recently from an online list with high regards, so we decided to check it out on a Saturday night. As expected, it was fairly busy, but there were plenty of seating. If you want more "prime" spots like the couches upstairs or the window-facing side-by-side table, expect to wait a bit while enjoying your drink in another table. This place is more like a typical bar, where you order at the counter, open/close the tab as needed, and they prepare your drink in front of you and you wait for the drinks to be ready. It is kind of self-serve otherwise, but some employees will sporadically clean up tables of previous customers. We tried the Poseidon's Punch, Banana Bread Old Fashioned, Red Sky in Mexico, and Phuket! Let's Drink. Poseidon's Punch tastes some Greek yogurt and spirulina, perfect for those that want a more "healthy" drink. The banana bread old fashioned is quite strong and smoky, and it evokes a little hint of banana flavor but not too much. Red sky in Mexico is a smoked mezcal drink with pretty good presentation. You pour the drink to the empty cup they provide you. Phuket! Let's Drink is a spicy drink. I was shocked how spicy it is, to the point I freaked out if I could finish a good fraction of it. It is probably the spiciest drink I have ever tried and this is coming from a person that visited hundreds of bars around the world. Fortunately, we told the bartender about this and they graciously topped the drink off with pineapple juice complimentary, twice, making it still a delicious drink with a twist of tropical. Overall, I enjoy this bar and prices are quite fair for the quality of the drinks read more

Lovely venue - very coffee house shop vibe. The mix-match of seating/furniture/tables generally works well, the only downside is that there's only one or two tables for more than 3 people which can make it a bit tougher to find seating. The menu looked fantastic and I ended up with the red sky in mexico which was a hickory-smoked mezcal drink which was fantastic. It was so good, I got it again. It was bold, boozy but smooth, and rich. The smoke was additive and flavorful. I also tried the Brittain's Cartel which rather uniquely contained nicotine from the cigar. This was also quite good but not as good as the Red Sky in Mexico. It had a bit of a sharpness to it that lingered but I would've still recommended it. They had someone unrelated to Nook outside selling chicken sandwiches which were unbelievably good - giant and amazing heat flavor read more

Great craft cocktail haunt. It's a small, cozy, intimate space with a little upstairs seating. Almost a speakeasy vibe, but no secret handshake, password, or hidden entrance. They have a wide variety of tempting drinks on the menu, and the 'tenders are pleasant and know how to mix the elixirs. They keep up well with orders even when the room is full. It's small, so it can fill up fast! read more

What a cute little gem tucked away in the West Seattle neighborhood! We came by on a Wednesday evening after dinner. It wasn't too crowded and there was street parking nearby but maybe because we got there after the rush? We were here just for drinks, and I was impressed with how creative and fun the drink menu was. I ordered the "Phuket! Let's Drink". Can't wait to come back and try more from their menu next time. read more

Love this place. The service is top notch and I enjoy that they make a lot of their liqueur in house. It's such a cute vibe here and feels so homey. As always I enjoyed myself here, brought a friend, it was her first time and she loved. read more

This review is super bias but I love this place and the people that work here. There's always new drinks on the special board and honestly it's just a nice place to go decompress. It can get really busy and really loud but the staff does their best to crank out the drinks. I've tried a few of the drinks here and there is really something for everyone. Anywho, definitely pay them a visit with your friends or by yourself whatever floats your boat. read more

Cute place with good cocktails. Very cozy. Excellent t bartenders that know what they're doing. Great place to take a date after dinner for one last drink before saying goodnight. read more

This place is adorable. It's a local place. It's a cool place. It's a trendy place. You need Decor on the inside which is most of what Seattle is all about. 35 very unique drinks that you can only get here not created anywhere else. This is definitely worth the Stop and worth taking the time to see. Eclectic on the inside with plenty of seating and Fabulous drinks. read more

Adorable little cozy neighborhood bar. Fun funky interior. Unique and tasty drinks. We tried a bunch of different drinks and each one was different. Service was great and drinks came quickly. Definitely worth the visit. read more

Love the decor and drinks here. The staff was super friendly and gave us some great recommendations for drinks from their menu. Everyone enjoyed their drinks and made sure to get 2 or 3 different ones to try them all. They are primarily a cocktail bar so they don't have any draft beers and a limited bottle selection. They have a fun selection of craft cocktails though so you can probably find something for everyone. I grabbed an NA cocktail - the Diamondhead at Dawn. It was delicious and unique. Unfortunately all of their NA options are the same price as any other cocktail, still a fun little neighborhood cocktail bar though. read more

My seasonal cocktail was very good. The prices are moderate for a cocktail lounge. It's small with an upstairs loft and very cutely decorated. Parking kinda sucks but that is W Seattle for ya. I would definitely go back. read more

I feel if you've been to the Hazelwood in Ballard you should be familiar with the vibe here. However, I would argue that the drinks there are much more inspired. This is a sleeper which is up there with some of the best (and inspired) cocktails our city has to offer. read more

Stopped in late one night for a drink after getting dinner across the street, and had such a good time!! It's pretty small & cozy inside, but they do have an upstairs loft area where you can sit as well. There was a pretty big menu with many cocktail options and plenty of unique flavor combinations I've never see before! I love the creativity behind their drinks and how the staff get to create their own and have their names listed on the menu. Makes it such a fun experience and more interactive seeing what people come up with!! If you're into craft cocktails this is definitely one place you want to check out. It's very dog friendly, you can bring your dog inside which is always a plus! read more

I'm actually furious I didn't take any pictures while I was here but it's okay because I'm moving in (I kid, I kid). Seriously though, what a vibe! I was recommended this place by the owner of Fleurt (another cute spot in West Seattle in the Alaska Junction) and she nailed it. The nook is a super cozy cocktail bar with delicious snacks and some of the best drinks around. I'm new to west Seattle and I'm really excited to know this place exists. I will butcher the names of the drinks but, essentially, my friend and I tried the mule and the spicy margarita and both were exceptional. You may say, "it's a mule? How hard can it be?" but this was possibly one of my favorite mules ever. We also had a few snacks which were the garlic parm nuts and the spinach and kale dip and they were both really delicious. Finally, the bartender was so friendly and even though they were super busy she was kind and attentive. I'll be back asap, great spot! read more

This super cute and quaint bar is nestled perfectly right off the street! The the ambience really sets the mood and allows you to decompress after a long day of work. Drinks are phenomenal and they're definitely handcrafted to perfection. When you're looking at their menu, you'll quickly realize they take the time to hand pick and house infuse their drinks. Happy I came! read more

Great drinks! Loved the service and ambiance. Not many did options so don't go there hungry.

I have been wanting to go to The Nook for months. I check thier insta account to see their weekly specials and they look amazing. Stopped by on a Friday night post midnight (yes this place is open until 2 am) and there were barely 5-7 folks seated. We got comfortable on the 2nd floor in their cozy couch and ordered their specials - banana bread old fashioned, brittains cartel, phuket! Lets drink, negroni azul and nook hot toddy. All the drinks were amazing!! It was fun to watch the bartender make some fancy drinks there. All in all we had an amazing time at The Nook. Highly recommend these folks. I will be a regular for sure. read more

This is my first time trying this neighborhood quaint cocktail bar. I will preface I haven't written a Yelp review since 2012 and I felt implored to write one solely for this experience. I am so picky about cocktails and went out with five friends. I tried all five of our cocktails and LIKED THEM ALL If you're looking for an Insta worthy, oooooh kinda experiential cocktail, go for the Red Sky. It comes with a bottle with the rosemary smoke inside and you pour it in with the smoke smoothly layering over the beautiful glass. We also loved the Cats Pajamas which is a lovely balance of lavender and rosemary. Another favorite was the banana bread old fashioned that straight up tasted like banana bread! Can't wait to try so many more! My boyfriend says, "I like this place. I feel like a 30 year old, I'm not at the club, we're sitting where we're supposed to be sitting, we're supposed to be here." read more

At 11:45 on a Friday night, 2+ hours before closing, a Nook maintenance crew turned up the lights and using power tools started repairing bar stools a few feet away from a dozen paying customers. In over 30 years of frequenting bars and restaurants I've never witnessed something so bizarre, or so fully thoughtless and rude. In West Seattle there are many fine options for a cocktail lounge. Choose one where you the customer are offered warm hospitality. Choose an atmosphere where your comfort and enjoyment are considered. Where you the customer are the priority, not routine and non-essential furniture maintenance on a Friday night. Our time at The Nook was resoundingly bogus. Skip this lame place. You can do better. read more

First time here, and it totally met my expectations. Wanted someplace chill and not hectic to go for a couple glasses of wine and journal time. (Thursday night happy hour, fyi.) Bartendress (I'm going to make this word happen) was great, but I like an unintrusive staff. If you want fawning, go elsewhere. This is a small local living room. read more

Came in for a couple drinks on a Tuesday night. The place was cute and I loved the ambiance but I think one thing they can do to improve would be to give the place a good wipe down. There was a lot of dust and dirt that you can tell has been like that for a while. Didn't bother me too much but a good clean would really elevate the place. The drinks we had were creative and tasty. Some were a bit on the sweeter side but overall not bad. The bartender was nice and friendly! read more

Probably the most interesting drinks on the island. Small seating areas on two floors and as with everywhere in West Seattle the parking sucks... but it's worth waiting a bit for a table. Try for the upstairs, just know that you'll need to walk downstairs to order your drinks or you'll wait a long time as they are usually quite busy. read more

Cute place, nice staff, prices about average. Was instructed upon entering that we could seat ourselves but we'd have to come to the bar to order. Okay, coulda been a little nicer about it but whatever. It was hard to get to the bar because there was a bar height table right in front of it. Upstairs looked cute but it was already full so we sat downstairs. I'd probably go again if someone suggested it. read more

Homey and inviting bar that instantly brings your attention in. The drinks were out of this world and truly a work of art. I enjoyed watching the drinks being made, you can tell the bartender cared about what they did. Dogs are even allowed, how fun! read more

Loved the ambiance and aesthetic of this place. The drinks had a good amount of liquor but could barely taste it, that is how carefully crafted they are. I would say the audience is a bit more on the older side. read more

Chill place to get drinks with cozy seats upstairs. It did start to feel small as it got more crowded, so I'd just want to come back earlier in the (Saturday) night or try it out on a weeknight. I thought it was cute that there were little icons on the menu to show what glass the drink was served in. Jax's Daq $11: This was my drink of choice because I wanted something that looked fruity. It was on the more tart side, and had an aftertaste that I can't pinpoint but I was good with it. Aviation $12: I just tried a sip, but it was good and refreshing. Italy Meets Mexico $12: I just tried a sip, but I liked it more than I thought I would since it looked like it'd taste too strong just based on appearance. Red Sky in Mexico $15: They do add smoke to it on order! Just tried a sip, but I didn't like this one at all. However, it is the opposite of sweet, fruity drinks which more suit my palette. ***** My Star Ratings: 1 Star - Terrible. Just thinking about it makes me angry. 2 Stars - Meh. Unlikely for me to return. 3 Stars - OK. Open to coming back, but wouldn't go out of my way to. 4 Stars - Yummy! Will definitely return if I haven't already. 5 Stars - AMAZING!!! Would plan my day or even a trip around eating here. read more

Charming, stylish, cozy little bar in West Seattle! Went here with a friend on Thursday night to grab a couple drinks. We started with an Old Fashioned for him, Life is Peachy for me. Next we went for a more seasonal pick - Christmas Stocking for him and Cousin Eddie for me. The bartender was cheerful and friendly, letting us know the Cousin Eddie (spiced rum, egg nog, nutmeg, orange zest) was the owner's newest creation and we were the first to order it. No regrets. Great selection of drinks and just the right amount of alcohol in each. The decor, lighting, etc all makes you feel like you're visiting someone's house. Awesome ambiance, really chill vibes here. Definitely will be back to enjoy some coffee and read a book or try more cocktails! read more
