    Angie is a rockstar at Vinnies! If you get the chance to have her service you are in great hands. One more line to gush over her and I'm done. A personal touch and timely service with care. A real human being. I came here for the caviar. The preparation is ok. I recommend this place for craft cocktails and wine. The wine selection is very good. The variety is worth the visit. The food is limited and eh. However, they have delicious oysters and an ever changing menu of them. Being so close to the sound it makes sense. You can get your fresh oysters here .

    Super cute little bar with pretty limited seating. This place is separated from Navy Strength (another bar) just by a door. Love how there's happy hour oysters here. Came here on a Sunday and the oysters were happy hour all day! Not pictured but we got a fun drink called the sham something and it's basically champagne but in a fun double ended glass. Would recommend trying if you are here!

    It was my first time dining in and ordering caviar. The restaurant is very quaint and cute located right next to navy strength. We got caviar sardines and chambongs for dinner. It was amazing. I had never done a caviar bump until this place. The champange also went so well with the caviar. The caviar was so salty and sweet at the same time. I enjoyed it so much and would come back with friends again!

    The most beautiful and magical hidden gem in Belltown. We just happened to stumble in on a Tuesday and were greeted with a lovely no corkage fee and the staff was so knowledgeable about bottle recommendations! Also loved the sweet and briny $2 oysters and olives.

    this is a shot from the seat closest to the door capturing the overall "vibe" of the establishment

    Like many great things in life, my two friends and I stumbled upon this place while trying to walk off the insane amount of Thai food we had just consumed down the street and wanted to pop in somewhere for a drink. We had not researched this place ahead of time, but, were drawn in because it looked cute and my friends love wine. The space inside is really cute - very millennial-coded with plenty of monstera plants and disco balls to go around. We came in on a Thursday evening around 8ish pm and there were only a couple other people inside, at the end of the seated banquet. There was one person working the bar area and she was very helpful and friendly. It seemed like they had a great selection of wines I had never even heard of, but, their reds were limited. We ended up ordering red wine, I ordered a cocktail off of their negroni menu since they were having "negroni week" and the bartender told us they do different "weeks" every week, and we got spur-of-the-moment sparkling wine jello shots (which had edible glitter in them!) The jello shots packed quite a punch and my cocktail was really good. My friends seemed to enjoy the wine and the service was great. I hope that they would have more staff on hand if it gets more crowded, but, this place doesn't seem like it can accommodate too many people anyways. Their Dolly Parton power hour caught my eye and I would love to come back to check that our on a Sunday. The prices seemed fairly average for the area - the cocktail was $15 and I think the wines were more or less the same.

    I have been wanting to check this place out for months, and I finally got the chance recently. I had just gotten out of a concert nearby and was looking for a small bite. The server was quick to get us seated and take our orders. The bruschetta was and ahi tacos were good. We also went with the chambongs and a bump of caviar each. They have great deals during their Happy Hour, with half off oysters and caviar! Will definitely be back!

    Really cool little spot next to Navy Strength. It had a Dolly Parton power hour on Sundays listed that I'm intrigued by and want to come back for. We had a glass of wine and one of their juice boxes. The service was great and it was a chill but still good energy vibe. Would def come back!

    I can't say enough good things about this place. Even though it's small and unassuming, it has such a warm, inviting atmosphere. The craft cocktails are amazing along with a decent wine selection. The tapas style food is really good and $2 oyster Sundays make this is a great weekend stop.

    We came in late, had good recommendations for a bottle of wine, we had a few oysters, a half charcuterie board, and some ceviche. All in all a great finish to a great day with our daughter and son in law. Wind down here with great Noah and good local wines.

    First time in this wine bar. Great wine selection if you're into natural wines. Small shop/bar great for an intimate setting or a small group of friends. Vibe is chill. Great ambiance. "Tina turner power hour" 10pm-12am with half off wines and $2 oysters!!. Will definitely be going back.

    Oysters (oops I took after the first two disappeared).

    Delicious food. Amazing service. Great energy. Happy hour is great with half off oysters and tasty wines. Perfect place to start the evening. Everyone is friendly.

    Vinnie's is next door to Navy Strength, a popular tiki bar with a rotating cocktail menu. I've been there many times, but a friend and I decided to pop into Vinnie's after craving some oysters. The space is small, but warm. The kitchen is behind the bar, creating an open concept. The decor ties in well with Navy Strength, but also holds its own as an intimate environment. We were sat immediately, and our server, Ford, was really awesome and gave us lots of information about the food, the concept, and some of his favorites. We happened to make it for happy hour and got a deal on wine, oysters, and the cheese platter. The oysters were a good price for a dozen, and included a hot sauce and a vinaigrette. We had three varieties - all fresh and delicious, definitely huge. The cheese board had three cheese on it, ranging from a bleu to a soft brie-like cheese. I was unsure of the spread it came with, but ended up loving it after I gave it a chance. It was salty, but blended perfectly with the cheeses. Lastly, we ordered the boquerones, which were deviled eggs with anchovies. It was just a big enough portion to enjoy before getting sick of anchovies. Overall, we had a great time - exponentially increased by the helpful and friendly staff. We're looking forward to coming back to this spot in both of our neighborhoods!

    Sippin' Santa menu.

    We came here for the first time because of Sippin' Santa, the tiki-themed pop-up bar event that happens in December. If you've been to Miracle, it's like that, but better! So this review is specifically for Sippin' Santa. The bar is attached to Navy Strength and is pretty small. They do take reservations, but walk-ins are welcome, so we decided to try our luck shortly before Xmas. We went soon after they opened, which I think helped -- it got busy soon after we sat down. As it was, we were offered a choice between seats at the bar, and a table that we could have for an hour, so we took the bar. It seems like each participating bar has some leeway in how they decorate, and Vinnie's did a good job, with strings of lights, ornaments in the thatched-roof bar, and oversized "presents" wrapped in midcentury paper. The bartenders were all dressed in either holiday sweaters or aloha shirts, so it felt fun and festive. The Sippin' Santa drinks menu is small, just a handful of choices on two pages, but each one comes in cute holiday-themed glassware with swizzle sticks and fruit garnish. You can buy all the glasses separately, and I seriously considered the barrel mug that the Shaka Kalikimaka came in. There's also a very small food menu that's just bar snacks (like sliders and deviled eggs), but we didn't eat here. We had the Xmas Eve of Destruction, the Shaka Kalikimaka (a slushy gin drink), and the Sippin' Santa. Each one was well-made, with interesting flavors and liqueurs, so don't worry about sickly-sweet umbrella drinks! Although the menu is small, they include different spirits like overproof rum, tequila, and gin. The drinks run about $14-15 each, but they're strong enough that you don't need many. And yes, they do have a colada that comes in a coconut mug. Service was fast and friendly at the bar, and the bartenders made good, strong drinks. If you've been to Miracle in Seattle and just thought it was so-so, try Sippin' Santa -- it has better drinks, more decorations, and servers who are in the holiday spirit. Put on your most festive holiday attire and enjoy a tiki getaway for Xmas.

We arrived around 5:00 PM and were greeted by a friendly and knowledgeable mixologist. While looking over the menu, he asked what I typically enjoy drinking. I told him I'm a big fan of an Old Fashioned, and he suggested an Eagle Rare Old Fashioned. It was, without question, one of the best Old Fashioneds I've ever had at any establishment. The balance of flavors was outstanding, and the attention to detail was obvious from the first sip. I was so impressed by both the drink and the overall experience that I asked him how he made it and what ingredients he used so I could try to recreate it at home. While I'm probably only 90% of the way there, I'll never quite match the perfection he achieved that evening. The atmosphere, service, and cocktails were all exceptional. If you're looking for a great speakeasy experience in Seattle, I highly recommend checking this place out.

The first time we ordered buffalo wings and cocktails and had a great time. The wings were crispy and the drinks were tasty and strong. The second time we ordered gochujang wings, tacos, and drinks. The wings were covered in just straight gochujang which was a little disappointing. We would have preferred more of a sauce, with some soy sauce and/or honey to balance it out. The tacos were pretty good, but our main issue is that the bartender forgot about my boyfriend's drink. We figured it was just a one-time thing because there was only one guy taking orders, making drinks, bringing everything else, but unfortunately we had the same thing happen again. Once again, we ordered a couple drinks and the bartender forgot about my boyfriend's drink. The place was pretty busy, and once again it was one guy handling everything. I don't know what the problem is, if they need a better system of taking orders or if they need better staffing. Either way, this place has a lot of potential and it's unfortunate to see it wasted with bad service.

    Wow, this review is 8 years old! I want to share my experience with Some Random Bar…read more In 2017, my mom and I visited Seattle for me to look at apartments and interview for jobs. We came here to eat because it was near our hotel. I was OBSESSED with the crab nachos. 2 months later, I moved out here all on my own. Now, 8 years later, I live nearby. Whenever someone is visiting, we come here. Whenever I run into a stranger visiting, i say they have to come here. My friends know if i'm celebrating anything, "are you getting crab nachos?!" It's become a part of my personality at this point. I have so much respect for the owners, the way they run their business and their honesty online. No one I've brought here has had a bad thing to say regardless of what they ordered. My go to is: Pull apart bread, crab nachos (with their hot sauce!! which, btw can i buy that by the bottle.. cause YUM) + whatever drink is calling my name (they rotate, but if you can get the pina colada you won't regret it). tldr; you'll regret NOT coming here.

I remembered that their drinks and bourbon selection/pricing used to be incredible. As with all things lately, prices have gone up on some of their rarer pours. The standard basic cocktails though were still reasonable and decently priced for the location. The atmosphere is great and service was pretty quick. The outdoor patio is still there which was a nice addition from 2019/2020 era. Some of their bourbons are still reasonably priced. Their food is pretty good. Would recommend the tacos, the burger, and carne asada. The nachos were not particularly for me, and also seemed to come out cold. Seemed to have cheese sauce instead of actual cheese. It was a cold day however. This place is mainly great for happy hour after work, but will come back and try dinner another time. Staff is great though. Really quaint and awesome spot to post up. good food, good service, good drinks, good selection, and still better pricing than most bars with what they have to offer. Will be going back again sooner. cheers

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.
