    Love the decor
    Kelly L.

    Deep Dive is my favorite cocktail bar in Seattle. The decor is incredible: Very speakeasy vibes, and every detail feels thoughtful and elevated. The whole space has this intimate, luxurious atmosphere that makes the experience feel special the moment you walk in. We tried the Japanese Breakfast, which is a savory cocktail and such a pleasant surprise. It genuinely has miso soup notes. It's very unique and creative. I also had El Boho (flavorful but not overly sweet). The staff are always friendly and very knowledgeable when it comes to recommending drinks. The prices are on the higher end, but personally I think they're totally worth it for the creativity and overall experience. This is the spot I bring all my out-of-town friends to because the ambiance, vibes, and drinks are just that good. Truly one of Seattle's gems.

    I had about 45 minutes until a nearby appointment and was near the Amazon Spheres. I recalled there was a hidden bar inside the Spheres so I walked around the block until I found Deep Dive. The entrance is along a pathway to an simple door with a hard to read bar name on the door. Not really a speakeasy per se but definitely that vibe. Once inside, you go down a ramp and around a corner to the very dark and windowless lounge. There are about 9-10 seats at the bar and several tables filling out the space. There is very interesting decorations throughout the venue. The pheasant under glass being the first decoration I saw. I noticed that there are several other taxidermized animals under glass along the bar. In fact, my seat ended up being directly in front of a squirrel under glass. Unusual decor. The tables and bar were mostly occupied yet even without reservations, I was seated rapidly by the host at the bar and immediately offered a choice of sparkling or still water. This is a nice European touch I observed. I chose sparkling water. Then I perused the menu and chose a Bourbon Old Fashioned cocktail as this place screams hard liquor to me. My cocktail was very tasty and done up well by the professional bartender. I was happy to have finally tried Deep Dive and can see this place being a great spot for clandestine meetings or a drink and a bite to eat before going to a show nearby. It is pretty pricey as my one drink with tip was about $37. Not for the faint of heart.

    This was a pretty big disappointment if you are factoring in price 129 for 4 drinks with auto gratuity for a party of 4 Service, host was great and introducing us and getting us seated. But the rest of the team felt like it was more of a chore to check up on us. Quality of experience felt detached from the restaurant since we were tucked away at the bottom of the ramp. It was dark and felt secluded from what we would have liked to see for a first impression. We understand that we didn't have a reservation so this might have contributed to the low quality experience. Would love to give this place another try in the future since there's a lot of good reviews but we'd definitely recommend reconsidering if you're looking to walk in. Overall, expectations were low since we knew we wanted drinks and to hangout for a bit on a slow Sunday Our host was great at checking in and bringing drinks to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday after we informed the second bartender/server who replied with a "uhh yeah" after asking if they did anything for birthdays. Seemed off as a response and didn't really looked like they cared, aside from our host. Felt like it was more of a nuisance that we were stopping by from the team's demeanor. Judging from the restaurant's aesthetics it's definitely romantic and has that rich feeling to it. The drinks were well made and the Oaxaca old fashion is my favorite. Might be worthwhile to check it out with a reservation, but again we'd advise against walk ins if you want to have a memorable first experience.

    Took my brother and sister. A true speak easy. From the vibe to the hidden door. The charcuterie was made in house and the cocktails might be the best thing I have ever had in Seattle. The service was incredible. The host was efficient the server was even more attentive but in no way pushy. Class act.

    Our experience at Deep Dive was nothing short of amazing. The ambiance was great. The staff was super accommodating, knowledgeable and engaging. The drinks were amazing. It was a definite 5-Star experience. Will definitely return on my next trip to Seattle.

    Our friend took us to this spot, he said it used to be a speakeasy cocktail bar, and it's right under the Amazon Spheres. Reservations are available for parties of up to 6. I would recommend walking in and getting on the waitlist as soon as possible. It took us around 1.5 hr to get seated. All the drinks were unique and tasted amazing. They just launched a new menu recently. The drinks were balanced, and the presentation looked great. The only thing that caught us off guard when closing out the tab was that there is a 22% service charge.

    An old high school buddy was up from Portland and recommended this place, an old stomping ground that they carried him out of on more than one occasion. It's a dive. An elegant mess. It's dark. It looks filthy, but it's not. They have a huge selection of libations that reads more like a book than a menu. The prices are a bit on the steep side, but they serve an excellent drink and the atmosphere is extremely intimate and kickin'. They also offer a few small plates, if you like. The waitstaff is incredibly tuned in and to their credit, in their menu, they have a clear message that they'll be charging a 22% service charge that the business will be keeping 100% of. No transparency. All above board. They don't expect or charge gratuities, but you are more than welcome to leave one. You can bet we did. 05/25

    Love me a swanky cocktail lounge! The space is dark, sexy, sophisticated. Staff are friendly and helpful in answering questions about the menu. The cocktails I tried were both fab- rifs on classics, nicely balanced. We split a few small plates- the oysters are $$ but the best I've had in a long time. I'd skip the burrata which didn't have any of the pickled rhubarb or salt flavor that the menu teased, but the smoked salmon dip was a winner. Cocktail tables are tiny and there's really not room for more than one plate of food at a time. The reservation is only for 90 minutes, so plan strategically if you plan to order food and more than one round of drinks. It's definitely pricey, and it seems like you need a reservation even early on a Tuesday, so plan ahead if you check it out.

    Great place for a fun drink experience! The food was yummy, fantastic hama hama oysters and a delicious flourless brownie. Drinks were exciting and if you are overwhelmed by choice or unsure of what you'll like, the server will ask your taste and deliver something spot on! The vibe is the best, low lighting and seamless decor make for an intriguing atmosphere - always something to look at! Take your time looking around inside, appreciating the interior is half the draw, in my opinion. Also delicious lighting for bathroom selfies if you are so inclined. :)

    I love their robust menu and my drink 'Afternoon Tea' was phenomenal. I love that this bar has a very low key presence but once you're in it the impactful experience lingers around. Very friendly staff with accommodating service and care as well. 10/10!

    This was such a hidden gem that chat gpt recommended for us. We went twice while on vacation! Such a cool experience and drinks were top tier. Great service 10/10

    This speakeasy is in the middle of the Amazonian balls (iykyk) and it's a very cute and small place that utilizes the space it has very well. Dimly lit, not too loud, fancy interior design, this is a great spot to go for after dinner drinks in Seattle. The drink menu is arranged in a way that the first few pages have drinks with a lower alcohol content and as you turn the pages further, the alcohol content gets stronger, allowing you to choose how you want the rest of your night to go. I ordered the Puerto Escondido and it came in a very cute pink cat mug with a hole in the back for the straw and liquid to pour into. Very fun cocktail lounge atmosphere.

    Kara M.

    innovative menu, cool ambiance for sure. drinks are expensive. service was pretty good. i'd go back 100%.

You enter through a vault door in the back of Tavern Law by picking up an antique telephone. Cool right?! Yep. Once they let you in, off you go up the stairs. We were greeted and directed to our table. Because they don't have menus, your bartender will get to know you a bit. Think moods, taste buds, flavors you love - any insights you can offer will benefit you and your beverage. It's quite engaging and interactive. They jot down your order on a coaster which then becomes a keepsake that you can take with you. I thought it was a really nice touch. Very ideal for a scrapbook/journaling person (read: me). I went with my usual everyday state of being - READING! Make me a drink with dark academia, literature, the library, bookstores, coffee, cafes, etc etc. in mind. My drinks were very me! Both beverages were refreshing, tasty, and coffee-forward. The service was phenomenal and attentive. The energy of Needle and Thread is quirky with a variety of seating arrangements, antique furniture, and warmth. Vibey, if you will. They serve food as well, but we didn't eat. Make a reservation and indulge in this experience! Enjoy your bespoke cocktail! Also, highly recommend checking out their website to learn more about the speakeasy and FAQ's. Oh! They also check in to see if you have any allergies. 10/10!

Between the hidden entrance, the vintage phone, and the vault door, the whole experience feels less like walking into a bar and more like discovering a secret hideout. Instead of a menu, the bartender asks what you like to drink, your preferred liquor, and the flavors you enjoy before creating a custom cocktail just for you. They also have an impressive selection of spirits, including baijiu, which was a surprise. I've only seen it once at a Chinese restaurant. Both cocktails were fantastic and tailored exactly to what I was looking for. I also ordered the popcorn chicken, which was incredibly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. I only wish it came with a side of hot sauce...but that's just me. The bartenders were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do. Between the creative cocktails, interactive experience, and cozy atmosphere, this was easily one of the highlights of my Seattle trip. I'd come back in a heartbeat.
