    The Wash is a new bar that has a funky retro theme located in Capitol Hill. They're open early at 3 PM which is rare in the area. The bartender was very friendly and chatted with us. At 3 PM, it wasn't very busy, but had all the vibes nevertheless. The cocktail menu is fun and imaginative. We enjoyed a variety of drinks. I ordered the Goldie Griffith $13: Green tea infused rum, lemon, honey & ginger bitters, which was delicious. The bartender even made it a little sweeter for me upon request. We also ordered the Nachos ($12) as a little snack, which was loaded with cheese and toppings, perfect for sharing. It included salsa as well. There is a cute front area with couches, booths, and a bar space. If you want a little more privacy, there is a backroom semi-private area decorated with hearts. The windows are semi blocked out with colorful film, making the whole space feel very retro. The best part about our experience is the kindness of the establishment. The bartender congratulated our friend for her new job and comped her drink since it was her celebration.

    Tried this spot for the first time last night. It was well decorated and is really fun. Theres a person at the front who checks your id. Overall it was pretty chill and quiet when we got there but when we left it was more popping an hour later. I got the pearl hart and my friends got the wild bunch rose and primero jones, I personally liked mine the best but they were all good. I didn't find the drinks anything crazy or exceptionally good though. Overall the drinks were pretty good, I think it was just a chill night at the bar but maybe I'll try it again and see how it is next time.

    Always love checking out and supporting new local spots! The drinks were excellent, and the service was very friendly. Love that they're open early, but really wish they had a happy hour to go with it, especially when all other other nearby bars have happy hours until at least 6pm! There's lots of games in the front to play, and a variety of fun seating to choose from. One of the bathrooms is decked out in bright neon lights - even just 1 minute in there threw off my eyes for a while after, bring sunglasses!

    Always great service and good drinks. The food is pretty good too. Love the ambiance and vibes as well. I get a Long Island every time I go - it's always great no matter who makes it.

    TLDR: amazing. Please go!!! Was in Seattle with my friend for a few days, decided to go explore and bar hop on our late day. We were super nervous about going since we aren't used to this city but we were greeted warmly by the bartender and our service was quick. They were very pleasant and chatty and gave us lots of great tips. We felt extremely comfortable and welcomed. We got the chips and salsa + guac and were obsessed with it. The salsa is amazing. I got the draft Seattle cider and the draft IPA, both I'd recommend if you like beer! My friend got a few cocktails. They're good, definitely strong! The vibes, decor, and music were also fantastic. Booths are very comfy and it was clean and taken care of. The bathrooms are very fun and interesting. I really like this place. We are going to be coming back to this place next time we are in town.

    Came here while visiting Washington, and this place has a unique aesthetic with creative cocktails…read moreto match. We arrived without a reservation but were seated at the bar fairly quickly. 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.

It's not stressful and the appointments ensure you have space for your enjoyment. The bar masters are experts. They make amazing drinks. The creativity of the menu and the staff is worth a stop. The list of cocktail options is rich and the stocked list of liquor is longer. The blow your mind moment is the pricing relative to most other boutique cocktail lounges or a place like Cannon that seems to just look to drain your bank account. Great place to check out and keep coming back.

We arrived 10 minutes early and had to wait for our seats to be ready as the other party was still there. It's quite small on the inside, and I think it only seats maybe 16 people at max? Either way, we had a great time. You get a small cup of champagne while you wait/once you are seated. We each tried two drinks, and honestly everything was great. My favorite was the tart au citron-- it was sweet and tart and a perfect cocktail! My friend really loved the espresso martini-- I had a sip and it's probably one of the best in the city. Definitely worth a try and will be what we get again next time we come again!

Well thank you to staff who decided to keep it open because there were few other places open! Dead Line and the sister bar next door both have a few tables but mostly it's the bar ambience/moody academia. We chose to sit by the door and people watch. I got a cherry cider and it was good! We shared a salad, the steak arepa, and the pork arepa. The salad they had on the menu wasn't updated but they had a summer salad with watermelon and it was refreshing and great! The arepas tasted great but were pretty heavy, I think probably because of the sauce. But there wasn't really any way to avoid the sauce. Even splitting amongst three people it was a lot- I think it was still good to try, I liked the steak more than the pork, but I would've only ordered one in the future. Highly recommend visiting during happy hour from 4-6 pm for 20% off your bill.

    Lol "interesting" experience…read more I came around 1030 after work, to meet a friend I work in kitchens. I'm wearing all black. Nonslip Docs. Backpack. Probably smell lol Lobby guy was nice. He says "I'll buzz you up." I waited in the elevator for a while. After like 3-5 real minutes I walk into the lobby and text my friend. "I ain't coming. I'm not fancy enough apparently" In that time, the Clerk noticed me. Apologies Profusely. I got up. Friends were really happy. Service was very nice and accommodating.

They're basic bar drinks, and while they do have unique names, they're not original and just taste of cheap liquor and mixers. (Do they not squeeze their own limes?) Looking at their liquor bar, it's all bottom shelf stuff anyways, so don't expect to be wowed. It's basically a dressed up college bar, for wanna be influencers who think that paying for a 24 dollar drink gets them clout.
