We ducked into this aptly named bar after a Seattle Reign game, during a brief storm. The menu boasted creative cocktails and appealing small plates. We devoured the prawn cocktail and the meatballs, which were delightfully flavored. Service here was exceptional, and after enjoying some pleasant servers during our time in Seattle, that was saying something. One of our servers stayed at our table an extra minute or two to talk with us about the city's sports scene, which we truly appreciated. Overall, a cozy and tasty spot to wait out some weather! read more

This place is cute and definitely worth a visit. The food was great, really tasty. People were friendly and it had a nice vibe. However, I am a Diet Coke drinker, so I am already irritated that I am being served Seattle Soda. I understand that Seattle has a sugar tax, but to charge $5 per can. I will repeat that for those in the back FIVE DOLLARS PER CAN. That's just a no from me, especially when the same can is $2 at Kitchen & Market as we later discovered. read more

What a cute place! The clams were great, the French wine was divine and the bartender made a surprise fun cocktail for my friend and it was SOOOO UNIQUE and delish. She loved her ceasar salad and I loved the mixed nuts -- you have to get those! I had oysters --- of course they were AH-MAY-ZING! What a lovely place. You step off the grungy street and enter into a whole new creative world. I felt safe and the waitress took great care to make sure we were comfortable and happy! What a fabulous little hole in the wall with an extraordinary experience waiting for us. I LOVED IT! Will come again for sure. read more

This was a nice refresher after the Bill Spidel's Underground Tour. We came here for a mid afternoon drink and light snacks. The food that came to other tables looked really good and I definitely wanted to make it back for dinner, but unfortunately we were unable to enjoy their dinner menu. The tea and snacks were just what we needed after a walking tour. read more

Damn the Weather was a great find when looking for a great local neighborhood cocktail bar in Seattle. It's downtown in the Pioneer Square neighborhood so they're easy to find. It's a small, quaint place that stirs up fantastic cocktails and heavy bites. It's the perfect neighborhood place if you're trying to get away from a more tourist environment. We bellied up and had fun conversation with the bartenders which led to my delicious Black Manhattan from photo 1. It was perfectly balanced to cap off a long day of travel. It's a warm, cozy vibe that won't disappoint. I accompanied my cocktail with the meatballs which were delicious and highly recommended. You should definitely check out the best name for a bar I've seen in a long time. Quite the sense of humor given it's in Seattle Black Manhattan 2 oz. Rye 1 oz.

The food was good, the drink was strong. What's not to like? 6 oysters...excellent! Steak Dianne with fries...fries were great, the sauce outstanding. The meat? For the price, the amount was a bit stingy. A decent, unassuming little eatery with a memorable name. read more

This spot is a good stop to add to any bar hopping adventure. Damn the Weather is a gastropub located in the historic neighborhood of Pioneer Square. They serve creative craft cocktails and comfort food with a twist. The vibes are cozy the interior design is a mix of modern and vintage. They have an outdoor patio area, however it's not covered. Cocktails at Damn The Weather is on point. I've tried their La Hara Old Fashioned which is aged haitian rum, amaretto, maraschino, aromatic bitters. This cocktail is spirit forward with a smooth finish. Their warm cheese plate comes with accompaniments and the perfect nosh in between sips of their craft cocktails. The duck fat fries with five spice is a decadent treat and is served with a side of aioli. Fair warning, they are addicting. The one thing to watch out for is the foot traffic. This spot gets busy in the afternoon especially after a home game. Patio area is great if the weather cooperates. read more

Always a good time at DTW! We were here to celebrate my birthday and as always the food was excellent. I ordered the sweet corn risotto and thoroughly enjoyed it. We shared two orders of their duck fat fries for the table - a must try! So amazing! All of our cocktails were excellent and loved the gin take on an old fashioned. They don't take reservations, so get in early! A Thursday night was a full night here. The place is dark with warm lighting, and lingering Christmas lights above the bar. A great space to curse the weather while having good food and drinks. read more

I was so excited to have a chance to stop in here before an event but then was a bit let down by the lackluster menu and food; after all, this Seattle mainstay has been on my restaurant foodie lover wishlist for years! The host and bartender/server were each wonderful and let me select my bar seat (week night dining at 5:30p-ish), while also giving me time & space to choose my own adventure as I tend to prefer. I had a tasty strawberry smokeshow cocktail. After perusing the menu forever--noting it in very few ways matched what I had previously looked up online on my train ride to town--I finally settled on the orecchiette pasta which ended up being a bunch of tasty pasta and a whole lot of sausage but then quite light on vegetables, if any at all were hidden in there (the menu says broccoli was part of the dish but I could not find it). I added a delicious glass of white wine (Donkey & Goat Field Blend), and rounded out the meal with the flourless chocolate cake which was pretty good. If the menu can be flushed out to a deeper flavor soirée with more creativity to return to what I assume it once was--or to at least match the steep pricing--then I would consider trying this place again. read more

We got game 5 tickets to the mariners so we picked a restaurant close to the stadium! Can you believe no wait for a 4 top just a few hours before game time - even better. The gals ordered the chicken sandwich and the guys burgers. We also ordered the duck fat fries as an appetizer. Drinks and fries were delivered quickly. Our sandwiches came shortly after. This bird was massive and just the right touch of hot honey made for a pretty delicious sandwich. The burgers were good too, not a speck left on anyone's plate. The crowd was getting louder as game time approached. Lines forming at the door, so glad we came hours early. Lots of festive fans, staff was attentive - almost too attentive like she was trying to hurry us but with the gathering crowd I can see why. Aesthetic and decor also great. read more

This was a very "fine" experience before the Mariner game. It's a nice ambience that is cozy and neighborhood comfortable that's not some giant place with a million people there. The food was fine. The burger was good but nothing special. The salad was basically a pile of lettuce with nothing interesting including dressing that was not notable. Service was very pleasant and good. Not a bad place by any means, but not great for what I had. I had the duck-fat fries too which I didn't care for but that's a personal preference. I thought it would be something new and interesting to try but I didn't care for it. But if you're into something unique like that, then I'm sure they're great. It's a good walking distance to the stadiums which was nice. read more

Great spot for a post M's game drink or casual get together with friends. Damn the Weather is located in the historic Pioneer Square and is in a high traffic area. This bar has both hipster and cozy vibes. They have a sidewalk patio and indoor seating. Their patio is my preferred area for summer afternoon cocktails and people watching. On the drink front, they don't miss. Their old fashioned and manhattan both hit the mark, and the orange wine is easily one of the best I've had. It was bright, crisp, and way too easy to order a second. They have a decent food menu ranging from small plates to full entrees. The duck fat fries are criminally good (you've been warned!) Their cured meats plate is also good and filling. This place does fill up during happy hour and does have some limitations for large parties. Their weekday rally is from 4:30 to 6:30. They do have discounts on snacks, beer, wine, and cider. Service was fantastic! We were greeted promptly and our server was fast and got us our drinks in no time. read more

Certainly is an appropriate name because of Seattle's infamous rainy conditions. Damn The Weather is one of the hip places in Pioneer Square. It has lots of classy drinks as well as some food like charcuterie and things. Has additional rooms for banquets and groups. The prices are okay compared to some other places. A bar with a few things to eat. It's more of a bar than a restaurant it feels like. The bar in the middle is the main focus of the place. Has better cocktails to be honest. These aren't cheap but they're strong. It's about $13 for a typical cocktail. Last time we got a few including the Tropicana Spritz. Good one. This is made with Blanc vermouth, Cava, Gran Classico, Orange Blossom water, and soda water. As for the food, it has limits. There's not a whole lot for vegans. It's about $4 for the Cornichins. These are small pickled gherkins. There's a few things like the Grilled Vegetable Skewers that are like $16 or more, but it also has cream sauce. Has quite a few meaty choices. There's beef, lamb, and seafood. Good place for a few drinks and maybe some food. It's located on 1st Avenue at Washington Street. The cocktails are better than the food, which has mostly meaty things along with some things for vegetarians. read more

Delicious, beautifully presented craft cocktails where the bartenders take pride in their product and service. We sat at the bar and drank an La Chute Old Fashioned and a Cosmopolitan. Amazing skin on French Fries (or salad) come with the burger; cooked a perfect medium rare. We had a side of Swiss chard with garbanzos, and grilled sardines. Incentive well balanced food! With mixed reviews we were somewhat concerned; our apprehension turned to being impressed very quickly. In Pioneer Square, walking distance from citizenM; highly recommended! read more

I was really excited about this place - the food was pretty good and interesting. Really small portions ... so we ended up getting more and spending a lot. The server wasn't terrible, but things took a while to come out. It's pretty over-hyped. I won't be going back. read more

Been here a few times before. Haven't been here in about 3 years. The first few times felt very romantic. It's rustic. It has a lot of candle lights. It's not a lot of tables and the noise is minimum to average. But now that I have a bit more money and have been to other places this place feels a bit disappointing. The menu is solid but isn't extensive. Nothing called to me this go around. Me and my friend decided to share the ribs and a pasta dish. Found the pasta to be a bit dry and underwhelming with the taste profile. I think the ribs with the chili sauce was great. I was pretty content with that. However, I think the plate isn't sufficient for a meal for one. So if you're hungry, I wouldn't get it. Felt more like a dish that should be an appetizer. Drinks were solid. I had a basil drink and that should be on the top of the menu. It was heavenly. All in all I think this place is great for a weekday, first date spot. It doesn't scream to me as a weekend spot. Perfect if you wanna look like you're balling but you're on a budget. Average plate is about 25 dollars and average drink price is about 15. read more

Went in hoping for a good dinner and was left feeling a bit dissatisfied. Friday night wait time was around half an hour, so we put our name down and walked around the street while waiting. Once they called we returned and were seated quickly. Interior was chic but dimly lit, and it got dimmer as the evening went on. Service was just fine; it took a while to try and get a waiter to take our food order. Ordered the bitter buck cocktail which was a good balance of gingery and sweet. Food- french fries came out hot and crispy accompanied by some pretty good aioli. What disappointed was the bucatini, which tasted extremely bland and was akin to someone just dumping canned tomatoes into a pot and tossing the pasta in, no seasoning at all. Don't let the pic fool you- it was mid. Perhaps another dinner entree would have been more flavorful. read more

Gotta love the name! The hostess seated us and also waited on us... very hospitable demeanor, simply pleasant with her approach! I believe it's Ash. My first choice was their crispy chicken sandwich. It looked like I was going to love it. Unfortunately I don't like dark meat enough to eat as a sandwich.. so I was offered a replacement.. their Grass Fed burger- perfectly grilled onions, sauce, L&T ! Hands down delicious comfort at every bite! Flavored well along with fresh fries made me whole! Thank you for allowing me a second option! My Malibu Dream was fruitfully potent, not too sweet or bitter with mezcal, Campari & elderflower! read more

Came in before the epic TNF game. Got seated immediately and they let us move to the bar to create distance from the main entrance since it was so cold outside.

Found myself hungry during a long walk from Queen Anne to the international district and popped in here. So glad i did! Atmosphere cozy Server / bartender genuinely nice person Food: i was sitting at the bar and another person shared the hamburger was the best they had ever had so ordered that - it was small and PACKED with flavor! The greens i had with it were perfectly dressed. Another person finished a slice of flourless chocolate cake and was sharing how good it was. I'll definitely be back for dessert sometime (and that burger) this place is a gem. read more

I was just racially profiled and it is the worst thing that has ever happened to me during my 11 years in Seattle. I walked into the venue after the Mexico game wearing Mexico-themed outfit. While waiting for the host to show us our seats, my very Mexican boyfriend wanted me to smell the beautiful bouquet of flowers. After I smelled the flowers we were seated at the bar. The lady working at the bar asked me to show her the flowers in my purse! She basically assumed that we stole flowers just because we look Mexican. After showing her the inside of my purse I asked her if she wants to apologize she declined and she asked us to leave. This is the most racist thing I have experienced in my life. I hope one day world becomes a better place and such behavior becomes absolutely unacceptable. I won't accept any apology, so please don't reach out to me. I just want beautiful people of Seattle to be aware that this happened. read more

Really wanted to love this place!! Two things held that back. First, the pork belly dish was about 60-70% fat and the remainder was pork meat that was tough and overcooked. Second, the server cleared a cocktail from our table before we were done with it. I think I'll give it another try, hoping that the kitchen had an off night and the server made an innocent mistake. Overall, the menu could be better to help elevate that lovely space. Cocktails were good, everything else just needs to step up read more

The service was atrocious and extremely rude. They served practically uncooked potatoes to me and when I asked to have it cooked a little the waitress first came back and said this is how they cook it so they can't do it as it won't take time to heat and then cool. I said I'm ok to eat it hot. Then she came back to say that they don't have water boiling so it will take 10 mins and I said ok I'll wait. Then when the male manager came out with the potatoes he sarcastically said "here's a bowl of overcooked potatoes" said he tasted the old ones and they were fine. As the customer clearly I don't get a say. He then says I was rude to the waitress when my friends at the table know I was not. And then proceeds to just argue with me. My friends were so shocked with his rude behavior. If you want to be insulted for asking for food to be cooked when you're paying for it, go here. read more

Strolled into this lovely establishment to get out of the rain, saying "damn the weather, we need a drink." 1st thing we noticed was the striking beauty of the Bartenders Ash and Aspen who were both incredible at their trades.

What a great Seattle bar. Burger was good, vibe is chill but a tad upscale. Loved the lady bartender Aspen. Fantastic cocktails. What a great name. Turns out she is from SoCal like me. Saw a review that said it's not their vibe but I wouldn't rate a bar by a vibe I don't like if it's simply their vibe. That's like rating a sports bar low because I don't like football being on the TV. I'll definitely be back when I'm in Seattle. read more

I have had colleagues tell me they went for a drink at Damn the Weather on multiple occasions and I was stoked when someone invited me for dinner there. I felt like the food was just okay. I'm not a fan of all the fluff and I like a classic taste. I'm sure the food is supposed to taste elevated, but to me it was just an expensive plate of pasta that I didn't get to enjoy. I liked my drink it was pretty and taste alright and my colleagues didn't like theirs so I felt bad. When it came time to try dessert we just didn't want to add to the bill since we were already not very satisfied. The place is loud so it's hard to have a real conversation. The servers were great, but I felt like after awhile ours wanted us to leave. read more
