    Red, White & Blue
    Alyssa A.

    What an absolute hidden treasure we found!! We came to Capitol Hill for drinks but with no plan. We stumbled onto Belmont and enjoyed it so much we came for both our nights in Seattle. Great drinks. They make a good Aperol Spritz. The Red, White & Blue is also a refreshing, delicious cocktail. If you're a whiskey fan, the Don Draper Old Fashioned is the way to go. They do a great Happy Hour here. From 5-7p everyday, they offer select cocktails and a hotdog for $8. And it was a surprisingly tasty hotdog, too! Service is efficient, and everyone was wonderful. Gives off an old-time bar vibe and is the perfect place for a date night.

    Definitely a change of pace compared to the surrounding establishments and crowd. This great place for drinks and a conversation. Very relaxing atmosphere. Excellent bartender.

    French 75 cocktail on the outdoor seating area.

    Perfect spot for a pre-theater cocktail before the Paramount. Their $10 Happy Hour runs until 7pm and this French 75 from that menu was delicious! Sunny outdoor seating also extremely relaxing and great for people-watching. Bar tender was also very sweet and kind.

    If you're at Starbucks Reserve and want an espresso martini but the line is too long, then walk a couple blocks down to enjoy Belmont! The drinks are normally on the pricier side but are well-worth the money. The happy hour is definitely a good value proposition. They do the classics well with my favorite being their Don Draper Old Fashioned. Their espresso martini is a limited blended frozen drink - so get their early if you want one. The vibe is a relaxed, old-timey speakeasy with plush leather furniture and that film noir lighting.

    This place is so cozy, and we loved coming here for a nightcap after a long day of showing our friends, visiting from San Francisco and LA, around the city. We walked by before dinner and were excited to pet their puppy. He's enormous, and we thought he was fake at first until we saw him moving around, lol. The owners were friendly and accommodating of us, even taking the time to give a backstory to them starting this beautiful lounge and bringing some of their SoCal vibes into the mix. We didn't order dinner but did order some apps, so we'll have to come back for the food because some folks in here ordered and it smelled delicious. The cocktails are the star of the show here; you really can't go wrong. There's clearly care in how they craft their cocktails, and we were really happy to have chosen this place to end our night. I highly recommend it. It's good for groups, dates, and business. We will definitely be back!

    If you put this under a 5 star you are a hater. Great service. Very laid back spot. Good drinks.

    Belmont is the perfect spot for a cozy date night. The atmosphere is inviting with its large leather sofas, palm trees, and oversized rugs, all illuminated by the warm glow of largely melted candle wax. We stopped in for happy hour (we learned happens every day from 5-7 PM) and were not disappointed. The Don Draper Old Fashioned had a classic, smooth taste, while the Aperol Spritz and Liz Lemon offered refreshing, lighter options. The highlight of the evening was the Bangkok Bling--definitely our party's favorite. Highly recommend for a relaxed and stylish evening out! Drinks came out in a jiffy and the service was quick and efficient. Pro tip: If it's a chilly, gloomy, rainy day, or if you really enjoy Chinese dumplings / noodles - place an order across the street at Biang Biang Noodles, they won't disappoint !

    Good music, like the ambiance - dark library vibes with leather couches and armchairs. Cocktails are tasty and smooth, but not particularly unique or top notch. Servers were nice and quick, busy night, but not much of a wait.

    Lychee martini and espresso martini

    We like to take guests here for chill but fancy drinks. It's a true lounge, where you can hang out and sip drinks and socialize in oversized chairs and couches. It's a classic decor and the servers are very helpful. I wish the drink list had a little more variety on it but I do like their specials that they do and usually end up ordering from there.

    Banana stand
    Eva L.

    Love the vibes at Belmont. It's great for sitting down and chatting with a group of friends. Came here for a birthday around 10pm on a Saturday with a group of 13 and we were able to get seating luckily. They have a couple of couches and lighting is dimmer. Would be good to take a date here for more romantic drinks since you can actually hear each other. I got the banana stand which is banana martini. The drink itself tasted a like artificial bananas but I liked the brûlée banana on top

    Just happened to stop in here when deciding on where to get a drink, and we couldn't have been happier about it! The vibe was wonderful, and our group got to sit in our own little section on a nice leather couch. We didn't have to wait for a table on a Friday night which was so convenient. These drinks were amazing! Specifically, the Bangkok Bling and the Banana Stand were a stand-outs. Highly recommend checking out this cozy spot for some incredible drinks!

We had full intentions of ordering entrees from here but they were out of the main dishes. Just seems like the kitchen manager isn't planning well, staff doesn't have help from management. The only thing keeping this restaurant afloat is the view and the DJ

I also had El Boho (flavorful but not overly sweet). The staff are always friendly and very knowledgeable when it comes to recommending drinks.

And they they have the nerve to ask me if I want to tip another 18%, 20%, or 25% when I sign the check on their Toast device... I'll go out for a quality cocktail experience at Needle & Thread, The Doctor's Office, or maybe the Red Onion, lol. But I won't be coming back here ever again.

This was an interesting combination of stuff. The focaccia bread was solid. It wasn't really crispy at all, but it did have solid air to it. The brie was good, but the apple slices were a little confusing. Dipping each of the elements in honey resulted in something solid overall though. Next came the main pizza - a chicken and bacon version. I did not like this that much. The chicken and bacon on top were fine, but what tasted odd was the sauce and the crust. The ricotta garlic sauce just didn't quite taste right. The cornicone was also super chewy and hard to eat. I would call this pizza consumable, but not enjoyable. The good thing is I would say the pizza is enough for two people. The total ended up at roughly 28 per person at the end, which with the appetizer isn't terrible. Overall, I would rather go to a lot of other places for pizza. 6/10

    Instagram : @yeapeats…read more I was excited to try Needle & Thread since it's often described as a speakeasy, but the "hidden" aspect didn't quite live up to expectations. Unlike other speakeasies that feel truly hidden, you actually just walk into Tavern Law, check in with the hostess, and let them know you have a reservation. They then guide you to a telephone where you repeat your reservation name before being let upstairs. It's a fun concept, but not especially secretive, and they're pretty strict about not letting you up early unless it's very empty. Once seated, we actually waited almost 20 minutes before being served with no acknowledgement. We ended up having to flag down the manager just to bring attention to our table, which was disappointing given the experience they're aiming for. The waitress asks a series of questions about your preferences--likes, dislikes, and flavor inspirations--so the bartenders can create custom cocktails for you. If you're knowledgeable about alcohol, this is probably a dream. If you're not (like me), it can feel a little intimidating, but our waitress was patient and did her best to guide us through it. The drinks themselves were excellent. Even the shots were customized, which was a nice touch. The vibe upstairs is chill and relatively quiet, making it a great place to relax and talk. Food is the same menu as downstairs at Tavern Law, so nothing new there. The only downside--and unfortunately a noticeable one--was an interaction with the female bartender (not our waitress). Based on the questions we were asked, my friend gave a mix of savory and sweet preferences, since we were told these were just inspirations. However, the female bartender came over sounding visibly annoyed and said, "So do you want savory or sweet? You're giving contradicting answers." The tone felt unnecessarily rude, especially since we were just following the process as it was explained to us. Overall, the drinks were great and the concept is unique, but between the delayed service and that negative interaction, it definitely put a damper on the experience.
