Came during the holidays when the bar transforms into a Home Alone-themed pop-up, which was such a fun touch. Even with the festive setup, the sitting room still keeps its cozy, lounge-style vibe -- something I really love about this place. It's a family-run bar owned by Sean and his wife, and that personal touch truly shows. It has a warm, at-home feel that makes you want to stay awhile. The staff was wonderful too -- friendly, welcoming, and attentive. read more

Great place. Solid drinks and ambiance. Such a cool spot. Also, if you can get a hold of it - the focaccia is FIRE!

Superbbbbb!!! I lowkey found a top 5 Focaccia in the US! We got the last one for the night and THANK YOU GOD!!! Def coming back.

Sophisticated cocktails -- concocted by mixologists who know their craft and flex their fingers using all the eclectic spirits, liqueurs, bitters, and herbs -- are served up in an ambience graced by the spectrum of Seattle's finest and quirkiest denizens! I felt ease and acceptance in this elongated space-- which gets progressively darker and cavern-like the further back you go but equally, offers sunlit, pedestrian-side seating at the front. The indoor-outdoor flow is especially lovely during warm summer days. We sat in shade during a very hot afternoon and felt very pleased with ourselves -- people watching and sipping drinks mixed with finesse and balance. The waitress was talented for her role - able to fluidly describe the forward and last tasting notes of each drink, without hesitation. She is an asset to the bar, and easily would sell each drink to customers. She would help you make a decision from among their dazzling (but not Cheesecake Factory length) menu of drinks, each footnoted with detailed ingredient notes. The space feels cosy and chatty and I like that some people dressed up to come here. The drinks were next level. This is a place to which I cannot wait to return, bringing visitors to impress. read more

We came here for drinks on a weeknight and it was really cute and classy! I liked the ambiance and decor inside. We shared an espresso martini and the midnight in Paris, the drinks were really nice and tasty and had good flavors. I do wish the prices were a bit cheaper but I can't complain too much since they're quite standard for drinks, but some of the other drinks were even more expensive. The service was really good too and our server checked up on us a couple times. read more

Quality Drinks no doubt about it. Quality drinks and a divey atmosphere, without the Shab. Couple that with good service and you've got a good spot. Came here for sort of a UYE following the Tailgate Time event by recommendation. I was put on to a new type of drink that is specialized here, Chartreuse. Chartreuse is a French herbal liqueur that is usually in green and yellow and differ by the place, bartender, alcohol used. Started with a couple of Midnight in Paris cocktails - Blood orange infused vodka, ginger, mint, fresh lemon, topped with Brut. My kind of drink - citrusy and smooth. Then a round of Chartresue called "The Last Laugh", also smooth and sort of herbal. Very good, almost like a strong tea. The server was very friendly - talking about specials, her preferred drinks and such which made the visit a little more personable. Definitely would like to get back here, I love the low-key vibes. read more

This place has a great pisco sour with a sprig of rosemary lit on top for both garnish and scent. The Crunchwrap Supremes feel a bit random, but the Hawaiian one (the second most popular) was actually pretty good! It's advertised as big enough to share between two, but next time, I'd get one for myself. The service was really friendly. read more

Drinks - the drinks were really really good! We went during the Holiday Home Alone pop up and the menu was amazing! Service - they were busy but they were pretty speedy. We went to a show afterwards on a Saturday and they were able to serve us in a timely manner. That said, make sure you allow enough time as they often have a wait. Ambiance - with the holiday pop up it was awesome! Very festive and cozy! I absolutely plan to go back! read more

I remembered to take some pics :) Still a neighborhood favorite. Great ambiance and friendly staff. It's a dark cozy place to come, and I generally am here late. The drink menu is always innovative but old favorites are still there. The floating plastic rubber duck in my Pineapple rum was a kitchy touch :) Expect great service and a memorable place. I do wish they would bring back some old favorites on the menu... please.... read more

So happy with our experience getting drinks here! We came early like 5:30PM on a Friday and was able to get a table for two. The server was friendly and able to answer my questions when I couldn't decide between two drinks. We ordered an espresso martini and a drink similar to an old fashioned (I can't recall the name). The drinks were very tasty. I really liked the espresso martini the best! The foam had more of a cinammon flavor to it. The place itself wasn't too busy and the acoustic were great, we were able to easily hear each other and have a conversation. Prices were as expected at $15-$17 a drink. I'd definitely come here again because it seems like the menu changes often based on the season. Highly recommend! read more

Phenomenal drinks and you have to try their munch wrap supreme. They're always rotating seasonal cocktails but you can't go wrong with their classics. They serve them in fun receptacles, too! Parking sucks though so take the bus or something. Moody lighting and a cozy atmosphere. read more

This place honestly deserves a sixth star-- it's one of my go-to date night spots. It's intimate without feeling uncomfortable and hip without trying too hard. Most recently, my husband and I visited for dinner on a Friday night around 7pm and had multiple table options, though the restaurant was about 70% full (and filling up more). We were in high spirits and our waitress joined right in without missing a beat, cracking jokes with us, and adding to the overall great vibes. The cocktail list is extensive and truly has something for everyone, even several non-alcoholic cocktails and low ABV options (even a n/a rosé!). As someone who doesn't drink much, this is the dream. The n/a options even have fun names like the regular cocktails to make it feel even more normalized. My drink, the (non-alcoholic) Prickly in Pink, was delicious and aesthetically pleasing. Basically, a prickly pear margarita. My husband loved his (alcoholic) cocktail also though I forgot which one he had. Now, the reason we're all here-- the crunchywraps! These delectable creations are what the fast food guys down the street WISH they were doing. Every filling we've tried has been delicious but this visit, we both had the limited edition birria crunchywrap that comes with a bowl of consommé for dipping... there are no words. Just get it. I don't know how many signatures I'd need for a petition to make this a permanent menu item but I'd gladly start lobbying tomorrow. 10/10 for ambiance, service, food, and drinks at every visit. read more

I ordered 4 chartreuse cocktails and they were all delicious plus the staff are soooo nice!! They were nice to craft personalized cocktails for me with chartreuse & they all tasted amazing. As a chartreuse enthusiast and knowing that they are limited in supplies I appreciated that they had both the green & yellow chartreuse :) it tells me that they're an esteemed establishment. Chartreuse cocktails that I ordered: #1 French 1605 by request #2 California Chrome #3 Midnight in Paris substituted with chartreuse by request #4 The Last Laugh by request Nice ambience and I sat in a private nook with a privacy screen near the entrance which was perfect read more

Great ambiance and vibes! Drinks were well made and strong, definitely got my money's worth.

This is a great spot for pre-show dinner and drinks! Tucked away from the main drag I don't know how I've missed this business before. So glad we got to try it out recently! I had the impossible meat taco salad and my friend had a crunchy wrap. We each had a couple of delectable drinks to go with our meals and made it over the Rep just in time for the curtain! Note it is an 8-minute brisk walk from this restaurant and the Seattle Rep Theater! Service here was good and parking was super convenient near the entrance. I will certainly be back the next time I'm in lower Queen Anne! read more

The Sitting Room - Craft cocktail not on the menu... " make me something with gin and heat, but lite and crisp. - Wine Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I've only been here during the holidays, when they have their Home Alone pop-up going on, and I absolutely love it. They have the movie playing on loop on the screens, and the front area is decorated with all sorts of props from the movie. The drink menu even has themed drinks, named after iconic people or lines in the movie. The drinks tend to be on the sweeter side, but definitely still hold their own in terms of alcohol content. Also, this bar experience was the first time I found out having an espresso martini in the evening will keep me up all night, which was truly a disappointing discovery. read more

I'm a sucker for anything passionfruit and when they photo for the Dime Piece popped up on their Instagram a Passionfruit Martini with a sidecar of Brut for $10 during their Aperitivo Hour 4pm-5pm. How could I resist especially since I get off at 3 in the Pioneer Square neighborhood. Got there right at 4pm yesterday. Opted to sit inside instead of outside since it was a bit warm and they had air conditioning. Ordered the Roasted Marcona Truffle Almonds & Castelvetrano Olives $8 during Aperitivo along with my Dime Piece cocktail. I probably could've at the entire bowl of the truffle marconas in one sitting. Instead I ordered a couple of their Taco al Pastor at $3.75 a piece. Perfect summer meal. The cocktail was well balanced and the Brut sipper was a perfect pairing. I asked to have the rest of the Marcona truffle almonds bagged to bring home they were that good. I'll have to try tossing some in truffle oil next time. Staff was friendly and attentive. I feel like if you didn't know the neighborhood you might not know this bar existed. But it is definitely worth a visit. I like well crafted cocktails and they definitely know what they're doing here. Will hopefully be back soon with friends. read more

This is my favorite bar in Seattle so it is about time I write a review. I come here often and when I tell you I dream about the crunchywraps, I am not joking. The aesthetic is a cozy vibe, the food is delicious, the drinks are always a hit, and the prices are very reasonable. I tell everyone I know about this place! We stopped in again last night to get our crunchywrap fix and got to try some of the new SUPER CUTE holiday drinks. Definitely try the North Bend Shovel Slayer for the most instagrammable drink! (We didn't get to try it because the foam wasn't working but we will be back again to try this one soon!) We got the Kevin! and the Kenosha Kickers which were both cute and delicious. They make some of the best, unique cocktails here! As an example, on a visit several months ago, one of the drinks came with a little hotwheels car. You must check this place out! read more

LOVE this spot. Good ambiance and quick, friendly service. I met Jada the first time I visited. Very friendly and helpful. And knows how to make a well-balanced but strong drink.

Had to come check out The Sitting Room's Home Alone decor for Christmas! It was so cute and cozy. All the drinks were named after the movie! The drinks were delicious and creative. I didn't expect the food to be Mexican here because it's not your traditional Mexican decor, which is fine but I was pleasantly surprised how good the food was. I got the goat cheese & chorizo taco and the veggie crunchwrap. Tasty! and the salsa is actually spicy too! We got sat right away and the server and bartender were very attentive, will recommend and return for sure. read more

A friend raved to me about this place and brought me here! It did not disappoint. The inside is cool, but the exterior and location are not the most appealing. However, the food was absolutely delicious and the drinks were great too. Our server was very sweet, and the food came out really quick! I wish that they had a longer happy hour because most drinks and food are a bit pricey, but the tacos were affordable and soooo good. I would like to return for happy hour, and at night where the ambiance may be more enjoyable. I have been raving about the tacos to everyone I know! read more

2 years later, I'm still impressed. A gem to have in the lower QA neighborhood. Ambiance: Its eclectic, like someone's living room. It has a mood. It feels romantic and kind of cool. I was there with a friend but would also come for a date. Food/drinks: Cocktails are awesome. I tried the pear martini (refreshing, strong, almost had a margarita vibe to it) and a new run-based citrus drink on the menu. Our server also threw in a taste of the rum on the side. Chips, guac, and salsa were fresh; the Al postor taco on bed of lettuce and minus tortilla base was tasty! I'd come for the drinks but the food was good too. Service: Excellent. Server was super attentive, helpful, and accommodating. Knew his drinks and was 5-star service. My only critiques are that the finishings aren't as high end as the drink price made me think and there aren't a lot of food choices (plus, kitchen is always closed when I come on the later end). read more

Came here on a Friday night and we were able to sit outside with our dog. We ordered chips & salsa to start, both were good. I ordered the al pastor quesadilla, which tasted great.

Overall, we enjoyed our food a lot and think this is a great restaurant in the Queen Anne area. read more

Took rsvp for party of 6 on an event night at Climate Pledge Arena. Loved the vibe, food menu was sparse but good! Easy to find street parking nearby. They had some beer on draft, and a lot in cans. So take a look at the drink menu. They did have some cool cocktails if you are into that. There is some outside seating which was nice and quaint. Staff were attentive, not hovering like I saw in another review. I appreciated that as well. Will definitely have them on my "go to" the next time we head out to an event nearby. read more

Went here before NYE fireworks at the Space Needle and we were NOT disappointed! Such a cool spot to hang out and get some inspired drinks! They had a Home Alone theme going on for the holiday season. So fun. Seems like their drinks change all the time (in a good way!). Our server was so nice and patient! The drinks of course were great! I had a sweeter fruity drink that was tamed with a side of brut. Such a smart idea! Then I got the eggnog drink. That was tasty too! My husband got an old fashioned with rum. He wasn't crazy about the rum but he liked the Oreo drink with the shovel! So cute! Really tasty! Overall our experience was two thumbs up! We'd come again! read more

We decided to venture to eat in the outside world after 3 months of holing up during this dreadful quarantine. So decided on The Sitting Room because it's within walking distance and they distanced, outdoor heated seating. It was wonderful. It was 40° out but we felt toasty sitting next to two patio heaters. Staff wore masks the whole time, we wore masks when not eating or drinking. We ordered: Cocktails- Paper Plane (strong lemon flavor); Lavender Empire; Last Word (my partner liked this one); Whistlepig Old Fashioned (dare I say one of my favorite Old Fashioned I've ever had. Dangerously delicious) Food - Their Crunchwrap special, so good. Juanita's Chili Pie hit the spot! After months of not going out, this was truly a fun, safe and warm place for our date night. We look forward to coming again. read more

my absolute favorite spot in queen anne (and seattle so far since i moved here in 21). the pictures aren't updated here and this place gives vampiric, sensual, moody, date night vibes. the cocktails are awesome and there's so many to choose you'll have to come back to finish the list. they also have GREAT wine, including orange wine! ;) the food is easy and delicious. my go to is the chicken crunchwrap supreme. and the s'mores churros if i have a sweet tooth. the service is unmatched. i do frequent this bar and some of them know my face, but everytime they're super accommodating. on two espérate occasions they made me a custom drink bc i wasn't sure what i wanted and they just helped me get something off the menu. it was awesome! read more

I think at one point (pre covid) this place was supposed to be nicer / fancier food. Saw pics of caprese salad, charcuterie, etc. When we went last night we enjoyed a casual environment with good drinks and tacos. We saw a good amount of outdoor seating too which was all heated. Took a while to get service and our first drinks but once we finally did, everything was great. Mezcalarita was great! I asked for it spicy and the bartender made it with a bit of Serrano simple. More spicy than sweet. Husband ordered the fig old fashioned which he said was a little too sweet. Pretty good beer and cider selection too. I was pleasantly surprised to see the aspall dry English cider on the menu. This is a pretty unusual one for bars to carry... one of my faves. Food menu was mexican... chips/salsa, burritos, tacos, quesadillas, tostadas and their take on the Crunchwrap! The tacos were yummy but on the smaller side (street taco size). Got two pastor and one chorizo. Was not full! My husband's munchywrap (glorified Crunchwrap) was amazing though. Came with pastor, along with Spanish rice, beans, guac, lettuce and some other goodies. Also had a side of red salsa which wasn't too spicy but very flavorful. Saw the table close by ordered chips and guac which looked so good. Almost ordered it after the meal since I was a little hungry still but ultimately decided against it. Next time I'll order the munchywrap too if it's still on the menu! read more
