    Cider, Bubbles, White Wine menu at canteenM in the CitizenM Hotel in Seattle.
    Jason F.

    Hotel bars can be a dime a dozen, but what canteenM has going for it is its unique flavor with its hip cool interior and the fun festive cocktail program from their surprisingly affordable menu. Located on the ground floor of the CitizenM Hotel in the South Lake Union neighborhood in Seattle, CitizenM is just one of a number of trendy hotels that have opened up in the neighborhood over the past few years thanks to the many corporate headquarters that have founded locations in the area including Amazon, the Allen Institute and the University of Washington. With this newfound lease on life businesses including restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and supermarkets have all opened up thanks to the influx of residents that have moved into what was once a neighborhood filled with warehouses. CitizenM is a reflection of that change with their modern exterior highlighting the corner of Westlake Avenue North and John Street. Not only is the hotel budget priced, but it is the very definition of cool from their posh interior that welcomes hotel guests and locals alike to their quick yet self-effacing service in which you check yourself in with a key card in which you have to process yourself. Thankfully a recent stay was highlighted by myself and some work colleagues enjoying a late evening libation and a plethora of bar bites after a hard day's work. Their bar and restaurant, otherwise known as canteenM, is located directly behind their check-in desk opposite their elevators leading to their other floors. When we arrived at nine in the evening there was hardly anyone there surrounding their bar area or sitting down. As we would eventually learn after sitting down at one of their tables, customers must approach the bar to order both food and beverages no matter if they are busy or not. The menu at canteenM is separated into categories including Bar Bites, Main Course, Beer, Cider, Bubbles, White Wine, Red Wine, Signature Cocktails, Mocktails, various types of Liqueur, Coffee, Water, Soft Drinks, and Juice. Of course we came for food and we each enjoyed a nice cocktail or glass of wine. To drink I ordered their Hemingway Daiquiri, which was made with Bacardi Superior Rum, Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur, grapefruit juice and lemon juice. Another person in our party ordered their Blueberry Bliss which was made with Bombay Sapphire Gin, prosecco, elderflower syrup, lemon juice and blueberries. For food, we decided to share their Margherita Pizza Renata, which was topped with tomato sauce, mozzarella and basil; their Chicken Dumplings, which were five potstickers stuffed with mixed vegetables, served with dipping sauce, green onion and sesame seeds; their Chips & Dips, which were a bowl of corn tortilla chips served with sides of mango peach salsa and guacamole with a pinch of cilantro; and their Rosemary Fries which were served with aioli and ketchup dipping sauces. It wouldn't take too long for our drinks to be ready, with the caveat being that we had to pick up our own drinks and take them back to our table despite it not being too busy. We just happened to recognize that our drinks were ready without being told by anyone that they were ready for pickup. My drink however was nicely crafted and took me away to the beach while sipping an exotic drink, which is not the first thing one thinks of when you enjoy a cocktail in Seattle. Our dishes would come out one by one with the highlights of our meal being their Margherita Pizza, which was nicely baked and a hearty pie, and their Chips & Dips, which thanks to the salsa and guacamole filled our appetites for the evening. With a bill being roughly ninety dollars before gratuity was added in, it was a reasonably priced meal that was enjoyed out of both convenience and available. Come for the food, but stay for the drinks as they were lively and complete. The CitizenM hotel has a lot of good things going for it, one of which is canteenM which also does brisk business in the morning with a breakfast buffet and full coffee service. Although there are many other options available in the neighborhood, the owners of CitizenM know what to do in order to make their guests feel a little more at ease.

    Cute bar in the hotel. I really enjoy the astronaut with the googly eyes at the entrance. That gave me a good laugh. It's a great place to hang out. The bartenders made the drinks super fast. Drinks are delicious.

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.

Parking can be a wee bit tricky so waking, ride share, or public transit will be your best options. But if you have to drive we found a paid lot a few blocks away While this wasn't the best tiki bar we've ever been to, it did stand out for the presentation of drinks, the cool (and massive) octopus, the immersion, and overall vibe is nice and atmospheric They have four non-alcoholic options which I really appreciated as the one driving for the night! They also have standard as well as unique takes on tiki drinks. We were surprised to find so many options with vodka and tequila which isn't common in a more traditional tiki bar We had the: - "Kiki Premier Mai Tai" which wasn't as rum forward as we would have thought, especially given how many rums it had in it; but overall it was a classic style Mai Tai and tasty with quality rums - "One Eyed Willy" which has a fun presentation in a chest with smoking dry ice. This one you could taste the rum more and overall it was a really enjoyable drink and experience - "See A Light" which is a non-alcoholic option and the taste was just as good as the presentation. Came in a lovely angler fish tiki mug with the light and everything! The taste was complex and something that thought went into creating - "Four Boys" another non-alcoholic option that was the coolest visual as it came in a "steaming" crock pot. The taste was very unexpected, in a good way, and is a drink I would get again Overall the drinks were about a 4/5 but with the charming atmosphere and whimsical presentation it's a 5 star experience that is just fun

If you are lucky to find the doorway, you should knock to enter this speakeasy. This speakeasy is the gateway to a relaxing environment that has an occupancy of 39 guest. Upstairs you will find a small bar with a single table for two. In the basement you will find more tables and a back room which holds more guest. For refreshments, if you are a gin fan then this is the place to stop for a drink or two has they have a long list of gins. If you are not a gin fan, there are plenty of other drinks to wet your whistle! We had great service on a Sunday, but during holidays, especially Halloween the place gets packed. You may want to secure a reservation during peak times. Lastly be careful in the area.

The space is very small and intimate. They have a bar located upstairs with stool seating and a few small tables downstairs. We had a party of six but luckily they were able to seat us downstairs without much of a wait. For drinks, I ordered their I'm mad, you're mad cocktail which was light and delicious. It also had cranberry bitters sprinkled on top which added a nice touch. My friend asked the bartender to surprise her with a light and fruity drink and her cocktail also tasted delicious. Overall, a great spot but would be better for small parties.
