Lol "interesting" experience I came around 1030 after work, to meet a friend I work in kitchens. I'm wearing all black. Nonslip Docs. Backpack. Probably smell lol Lobby guy was nice. He says "I'll buzz you up." I waited in the elevator for a while. After like 3-5 real minutes I walk into the lobby and text my friend. "I ain't coming. I'm not fancy enough apparently" In that time, the Clerk noticed me. Apologies Profusely. I got up. Friends were really happy. Service was very nice and accommodating. Drinks are Top Notch My friends were giving a "Live Update" about my "situation" the entire time We probably got 8ish drinks. Paid for 3 They close at 11, I left around 1230 Props to Them A+++++++++++ Customer Service Drinks and Ambiance too, but we already knew that Props to the Staff Thank You read more

Amazing views! Specially at sunset. But that's where the goodness ends. The drinks don't match the ambiance or elevated feel you get sitting there. They're basic bar drinks, and while they do have unique names, they're not original and just taste of cheap liquor and mixers. (Do they not squeeze their own limes?) Looking at their liquor bar, it's all bottom shelf stuff anyways, so don't expect to be wowed. It's basically a dressed up college bar, for wanna be influencers who think that paying for a 24 dollar drink gets them clout. read more

The pros: Delicious drinks, incredible decor, and in our case, an excellent DJ for a Friday early evening. We really liked our waitress, she was helpful with suggestions, and really fun to chat with. The cons: A bit confusing to get into and definitely comes with an air of "everyone here is better than you." Both groups we sat next to were busy talking smack about everyone there, not the locations fault, but definitely not a fun vibe. read more

views of this rooftop bar are amazing! and it was a very cute and interesting selection of cocktails! 5/5 however the price point and service were not the best. firstly, they charge an automatic 20% service fee which is fine, but the service was just not worth that. they don't really feel welcoming or friendly but moreso seem tired and overworked. they did check in frequently but it felt awkward and difficult to continue our own conversations. 3/5 read more

Firn - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I visited Firn on a Saturday with my girlfriends. Overall, it was a pleasant experience. My friend made a reservation by phone for a table at the rooftop bar. When we arrived, we were greeted by the host and given badges to access the rooftop. I believe reservations are typically made through OpenTable. Customer Service: I asked the host if we could potentially sit outside, but I was told the outdoor seating was not open because it might rain. This was a bit confusing since there were already people seated outside. Our server later explained that if we chose to sit outside and it started raining, we would lose our indoor table. She recommended that we keep our table and simply visit the outdoor area for photos or to hang out for a while. Shortly afterward, the host came back to our table and asked if we would like to move outside. It seemed there was a lack of communication between the host and the server. As a guest, the mixed messages felt a little stressful and confusing. Drinks & Food: The beverages were delicious. I ordered the Thai Breaker and really enjoyed it!! I even ordered a second one. We also ordered the crab dip, which was served in a hot skillet with chips. It was flavorful and definitely a highlight of the meal. Atmosphere: Firn is a cute, modern rooftop bar with plenty of indoor plants and stylish décor. The furniture and overall design create a trendy yet inviting atmosphere. From the rooftop, you can also enjoy views of the Space Needle, which adds to the experience. read more

The food was not good. We complained that our chips were stale and the waiter said that's all that they have today and that they were made fresh. Did nothing about it. Several minutes later he came back with a new batch of chips. The minute I tasted them I said thanks these taste fresh. But overall food was not good, service not that great, but the ambience was on point! Great stop for drinks with friends on a warm, sunny day. Other than that, eat somewhere else first. read more

Awesome rooftop spot in Seattle! The vibes are great with plans all around, nice decor, and a pretty rooftop deck outside with a nice view of the city.

My 40th birthday party was thrown here and it initially started off with some hiccups based on what the coordinators had discussed. But they quickly figured it out and got everything flowing. The venue itself is exactly my style with plants flowing throughout the room and a gorgeous view from the rooftop with lots of sitting/tables. Our waitress was amazing and bounced around to everyone with drinks and shots in rotation. I had a beautiful appetizer spread that everyone enjoyed and they changed the music to accommodate my parties liking. I absolutely would suggest your next event here. read more

Don't know if it was just an off night, but the service was terrible. It was fairly empty for a Saturday night, but somehow we still weren't helped for a while. A party was seated after ours and helped before we were even acknowledged. Even when someone came by, the waiter ignored me completely and instead just looked at my partner the whole time when asking what we wanted to order. No one ever came over after our drinks were delivered so we just decided to not get another drink and just be done with the evening. We were excited to try Firn out but after this experience, we are likely not going to come back. The drinks were fine but pricey. Combined with the above experience, it makes it even more disappointing overall. read more

A hot new rooftop bar that's quickly becoming a favorite. Located on the 6th floor of a hotel, it welcomes you with friendly service right from the lobby. The moment you step inside, the chic interior and stunning views pull you in. The vibe is casual yet stylish, with comfy seating and super friendly staff that make us want to stay a little longer. The cocktail list is creative and perfect for a date night or a relaxed evening out. The menu is mostly light snacks, making it a great spot for drinks and small bites. The only downside? Parking can be a challenge--especially on game days--so plan ahead. read more

Gorgeous hotel with a beautiful view! Firm is inside the Populus Hotel in Pioneer Square and it's very much new! This is probably the best rooftop bar in Seattle in terms of greenery and sustainability! You do need a reservation secured and it's done thru OpenTable. The staff at the hotel are so friendly and they point you where to go in order to head up to Firn. Their drinks are spendy...however, there are a few drinks that serves 2 ppl. So you split the total price of it. We tried the 'Get Schwifty' drink which has Japanese melon, honeydew, lime, mint and vodka -- quite refreshing and bright green! It is definitely popular, especially on a decent nice day! read more

The atmosphere was perfect on a summer day. Giving NYC rooftop vibes for sure! Loved the crab dip to pair with our aperitif, but I admit the Get Schwifty was wayyyy too sweet! I love a sweet drink but I definitely had to water mine down to drink it read more

Firn - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Firn knew exacttllyyy what they were doing opening right before patio/rooftop season in Seattle. And Pioneer Square's first (and only) rooftop bar, no less! I visited the hotel because a friend of mine was in town and was staying at Populus and she insisted we check out Firn. After only being open for like four days, there was a HEFTY line and the place we packed. We got in quickly due to her having a reservation (yes, they take rezzies!) and we were able to order quickly from a sweet bartender. The place itself is gorgeous. Decorated beautiful and the atmosphere is fun and lively and SCREAMING summer. We started by sitting indoors at the bar and got to move to the rooftop space eventually and sunset is THE time to be out there. It's still warm, but the sun isn't blaring in your eyes, and you're getting a beautiful view of the Seattle skyline against the sunset. So gorgeous! You won't catch a lot of water views here, but how many skyrises do you really see in PI that are gonna boast water views..... Not many (if any?). So honestly, this view is STELLAR. I tried an assortment of cocktails and was wowed by them all. The Seatini was a fun and fruity option with a pretty stamped ice block. Loved the hibiscus flavor in it. I think my personal favorite though was the Seattle Freeze, a blended boozy coffee drink that's essentially a play on an espresso martini but boy is it strong. I had literally 2-3 passersby say "watch out, those sneak up on you," LOL and they do! They also have light bites here (very limited menu) but it all sounds delicious. I opted for the Dungeness Crab Dip and it was sooo good. Definitely recommend. Overall, Firn is one of theee summer spots to hit this season for rooftop drinks. You won't regret it! read more

Drinks ordered: - Green acres - Letters to the forest - Seasonal cobbler Overall, the drinks are overly sweet for my preference, in an artificial syrupy way. Wouldn't necessarily come back for the drinks, but it's a nice spot to hang out and chat. Food options are very limited. I had outdoor seating on a typical sunny Seattle evening, there's no shade at our table, so we were using menus to fan ourselves and cover our eyes. It's unfortunate because the view of the skyline was beautiful. Really enjoyed the neutral zen furniture and being surrounded by plants. Automatic 20% tip charge on the bill. Driving in this area is a NIGHTMARE, especially if there's a mariners game going on. I took the link and walked, which was a much smoother experience than my friends who'd drove and dealt with finding and paying for parking. read more

Beautiful location, beautiful cocktails, firn is a rooftop bar in an unexpected location in Pioneer Square. Located in the new Populus Hotel, a visit during a cool fall weekday was fantastic. The space is gorgeous with a decent sized bar and interior as well as the rooftop patio with great city views (loved both the day and night views). The menu has some creative cocktails, although I stuck with my usuals - a Manhattan and a Martinez served in nice glassware. They have shaved ice cocktails that seem a little pricey but then I saw the ice shaver which is all manual! Food menu is limited but the charcuterie board we ordered was quite good. The staff here was professional and on point, with a good balance of being friendly but also focused on delivering service to the everyone. Firn is a great addition to Pioneer Square, either solo or for a group. read more

Beautiful new rooftop bar in Pioneer Square with a stunning view of downtown. You can also see fireworks from T-Mobile Park if you're there during a Mariners Game! The service was really friendly, though a little slow, but I didn't mind since I was there to lounge around and hang with friends anyway. I ordered the Diamond Sea milk punch and Minute of the Hour. Both fabulous cocktails and not overwhelmingly sweet. It's very nice that they provide blankets if you're cold. It would be even nicer if they added a few heater lamps! The drinks are a little pricey ($20-24 before tax and tip) but it was worth it for the ambiance. I would definitely come back! read more

Been wanting to try this out since last summer! The rooftop is super cute, as is the hotel in general. Definitely have to come here on a clear, sunny day, though they have a pretty big indoor space.

The ambiance was amazing but the service could use some improvement. I'm usually not super hard on service, understanding how busy times can get but the server rarely came by and it was not busy. He seemed to interact with some tables frequently and others not so frequently. We definitely would have drank more if we had been checked on just a little more often. Regardless, we had an amazing time because the view is incredible. The clarified milk punch I got was great! The cocktails are strong too. Could use a better dirty martini batch too! But maybe that's just preference :-) read more

Firn has been on my list for a while, so I was glad to get a chance to check it out over the weekend. We booked a reservation over a week prior, but this really wasn't needed as the lounge was only about halfway full when we arrived. As we walked into the restaurant, we were greeted and seated quickly and given the choice between indoor and outdoor seating. We ordered a round of cocktails, one tequila based that was extremely tasty and two gin based that were overly sweet and had a bit of an artificial taste. Unfortunately we could not make it through the gin-based craft cocktails and had to order standard cocktails instead. We also ordered the crab dip which was a decent size for sharing and pretty tasty. Our server was very friendly and attentive throughout our time there. Firn has a warm and cozy vibe indoors and is definitely cute for a date night. The rooftop unfortunately does not have fire pits or heaters but has a nice view of the space needle. I'd come back for drinks either before or after an event if I was trying to impress someone or wanted an excuse to get dressed up. read more

Firn is a rooftop oasis where drinks are expertly crafted, ambience is deliberately built into the design, and service is still an important part of the experience. I stopped by after a Mariners game for a few rounds of cocktails with friends and the experience was nothing short of magical. I managed to book a 4pm seating through OpenTable which was a relief seeing how many people were already queuing up to snag any available seats. The rooftop bar is on the 6th floor of the Populous hotel and is accessible via elevators. The design of the bar blends in foliage, wood, and modern elements. The space is absolutely beautiful and has a direct view of the waterfront and Seattle skyline. Bar seating is spacious and can easily accommodate large parties. I especially love the skylights over the bar and the foliage hanging from the ceiling. There are numerous lounge areas with comfortable sofas and arm chairs. The outdoor area also has the sofas, padded chairs, and arm chairs. This area does not have any shade and I was very much prepared to top off my tan. The menu focuses on craft cocktails and a few appetizers. The names were very creative and the list of ingredients for each drink was intriguing. I tried the Get Schwifty, Old-Fashioned Love Song, Ghost Pilot, and Casual Crush. The Get Schwifty indicated the drink serves 2 and they were not lying. It was a very sweet vodka based cocktail which was served in a decanter and was poured table side over shaved ice. I learned to ask for more shaved ice to help lower the sweetness level. The Old-Fashioned Love is an excellent mix of bourbon, banana, and chocolate bitters. My perfect sipping cocktail while sitting on a rooftop patio. The Ghost Pilot is a mix of overproofed rum, apple brandy, and absinthe and was very powerful. The drink had a nice hint of vanilla and grapefruit. Finally, the Casual Crush is a mezcal based drink with noticeable spice. It was a good final cocktail to cap my visit. Our server always checked in and made sure our water glasses were filled. Final verdict, this rooftop bar will now be on my list of go to places for drinks. I am curious how the rooftop setup will be during the rainy season. I'm also wondering if they would expand their list of food options. read more

Interesting new bar in Seattle. The hotel and employees at the entrance are great and were very helpful. There was a wait list to get in but it was worth the wait. It is newer so they were still working things out, but overall a really unique vibe (I felt like I was in Star Wars or something) and a nice view of Seattle. Delicious drinks! read more

Amazing views and atmosphere. Perfect for rooftop season in Seattle, especially to peer down into Pioneer Square. I met up with a friend right before the Pioneer Sq Art Walk, and it was the perfect apertif to the evening. The food is just okay here, but come here for the view and drinks. The bartender was awesome and the drinks are delicious and creative. Obviously a slight upcharge for the ambiance. He even served us a drink he was experimenting with. The hotel itself is one of the most gorgeous hotel architecture and designs I've witnessed in Seattle. Take the elevator up to Firn, enjoy the open air seating, and even sitting inside is a pleasure. Definitely top of mind for me now, when looking for a rooftop hang on a nice day. read more

Soaking up the sunshine in the summertime is a must in Seattle. What better way to relax than with a cocktail on the outdoor rooftop at Populus! A staff member must let you into the elevator to go upstairs if you're not staying in the hotel...indoor, outdoor and bar seating available. Many drink options and a few yummy bar bites-Dungeness crab dip, a cheese platter...our room was a few floors below so it was an easy choice to visit! But it was also a great choice, not just convenient. If I lived here, this would be my go to place in the summertime. Cool vibe, live DJ and the chance to soak up the sun and city views! Yes they do take reservations. Valet parking available. Fun side note: employees here are provided with Addidas Sambas shoes and stylish sweaters. Nice perk! read more

Super cool rooftop cocktail lounge just a few blocks from the stadium. Took me a minute to figure out where the door and elevator were. Talked to some locals who had made a table res and assured me this was a hot spot. We grabbed drinks from a friendly bartender and wandered outside to see the sights from the roof. Fun and quirky cocktail menu. I had a Sphere which was on the sweet side. DJ spinning tunes. Everyone a little decked out. Great vibes. Ideal for a night cap. read more

3.3/5 Came here for my fiance's birthday for some pre-dinner drinks. This was on a Tuesday so we lucked out when it came to finding street parking. Can only imagine what a weekend is like. Service - service was great, from being greeted at the door, to being navigated to the elevators and sent up, to the hostess who greeted us at the actual bar. Our server was also very personable and gave us recommendations based on our preferences, he was a little hard to reach, especially when we wanted to check out tho. Ambiance - I mean it's a rooftop bar. The vibes are immaculate. Played good music the inside isn't blocked off at all from the outdoor patio, so very open. The nice cushioned seats, perfect for a date. Everyone seemed to be dressed for the atmosphere. Although I will say, there was a mariners game this night so actually a decent amount of people having casual pregame drinks in their Jersey's. Food - we didn't get a chance to sample the food since we were just here for drinks. We tried the green acres and the Manhattan Noir. The Manhattan was very heavy on the vermouth so wasn't a huge fan, it was strong, so thats a plus. The green acres was on the sweeter side but I liked the green tea they added. We were hoping to try other drinks but waiter didn't come around in time. Probably for the best, 2 drinks alone runs you $50+. I hate that this is Seattle now. The automatic 20% didn't help either so be aware of that. Overall, great vibes, drinks are so-so. I'd come back for the atmosphere. read more

Ok I was so pleasantly surprised by how wonderful this new rooftop bar is! I'm shocked by the lower reviews. It is located in the Populus Hotel in Seattle.

We had reservations for Saturday afternoon and were seated outside. The view wasn't great in my opinion, and the ambiance inside was much nicer and more aesthetic. Our drinks (the Get Schwifty shaved shareable) took a long time to arrive because an ingredient had to be brought up from downstairs. My drink glassware also had a chip on the rim. Our food (mini sliders) was also delayed. People who ordered after us were served well before we were, apparently for the same reason. Both the drinks and food fell short of expectations. I won't be rushing to come back, but if I do, I'll make sure to request indoor seating. read more

This rooftop bar will certainly be the new popular spring and summer hangout. It's located on the top of a nice hotel and is well equipped with lots or great places to sit inside and outside and a buzzy after work crowd. Servers are friendly and fast and there is a great drink selection. I didn't try the limited food menu but it indicates this is more of a bar to go to before or after dinner. Will likely go again, often. read more

Firn is such a beautiful, and fun ambience. The staff were exceptional, consistently checking to make sure we were doing okay and had what we needed. The drinks were delicious and ranged anywhere from $15-20. There was a Seahawks game going on at Lumen field when I visited and so I could see fireworks from the bar which was super fun to experience. They also had a DJ that was playing tunes that elevated the overall atmosphere. The ambiance was incredible, stunning truly, I loved the lush greenery and beautiful modern aesthetics. We easily spent 2.5 hours just enjoying the music and scene. I definitely recommend this place to anyone who just wants to chill and enjoy the views. read more

Come for the vibes. Because the building is located in Pioneer Square and it's not on top of a super high-rise, the view is different from other Seattle rooftop bars like Fog Room or The Nest. It's super relaxed. There generally isn't a dress code so you can come by with friends and hang out. The cocktails are great! But be ready to pay $20-30 for one drink. They're not cheap, but that's standard with any Seattle rooftop establishment. Service is generally good. Servers are pretty attentive, given how many tables they're responsible for. A con: The charcuterie "board" needs some serious work. It's served on a plate with some meats and a few cheeses. They put maybe four or five crackers on the plate with some olives and gherkins. For how much it costs, it needs a facelift. This is not charcuterie. It's a small Lunchable on a dinner plate. Tbh I think the meats/cheeses come from Costco lol, even the crackers. It's almost laughable they provide you with cloth napkins, small plates and cutlery to eat it. It's perhaps for one person- and even that is reaching. read more
