Thankfully, there is a cheaper solution that doesn't require TSA or an uncomfortable middle seat. Located in the West Seattle Bowl is the Three 9 Lounge. Step into a little Polynesian paradise and get out of PNW cold. Ukulele music, warm, comfy booths and South Pacific decor welcome you into the space. Feel your blood pressure drop as you enjoy your stay with a lovely crafted drink that mentally whisks you away to a lounge chair in the sun. Definitely order one in a cool glass! The drinks are strong and worth the price. Staff are friendly and helpful in finding you the right libation for your situation. There are also great nibbles while you sip on your drinks and slip away into a little piece of paradise at this wonderful find in West Seattle. Aloha!

It's a bit on the expensive side, but the flavors were solid. Overall, a great experience and I'd recommend it!

The restaurant is pretty inside! The bar area is cool! The drinks are AMAZING! I tried the Mai Tai and banana cocktails. The bar tender/server was our bartender and made the drinks in front of us! We got 2 starters, the roti massaman -- the curry was so good with this! The fish cakes were outstanding and one of a kind! My bf and I shared a chicken pad Thai! So good! A few more ppl started trickling in too. They had America's funniest videos on!

I really wanted to give it a second chance before making my mind up to "not stop by again" to even consider eating here again. There is no pride in the food they put out and it shows plus the prices are too expensive. Eat there at your own leisure folks. As in "don't" go hungry. On a scale from 1-10 (10 being excellent) I rate it a 1. Try a smaller menu and find a cook who has pride in his/her cooking this is how you can improve for starters.

I got a kick out of both Star Wars and SpongeBob being played on the bar TVs while we decided on our order! Loved the chill vibe here. We ordered pickle chips to split-these were INCREDIBLE-they came with ranch, and they were crispy and chewy. They were addicting, and not greasy, oily or heavy in the batter they used to fry them. These managed to be both filling and light. Absolute win. I ordered an ABV free drink, True North. This was one of my favorite drinks I have ever had. I loved this combination of lime, ginger beer, hibiscus and the Pathfinder Hemp & Root. This was my first time trying this line of ABV free spirit, and I was blown away. True North was refreshing, not too sweet, bubbly and bright. We will definitely be coming back-there were lots of foods and cocktails we wanted to try.

You might have to wait for them to remember what they are selling, or flag them down for a check. If there were drink specials that made more sense, I could see a legitimate reason to spend time here drinking. This Goblin would pass on the food. I don't come here to eat. The food: expensive for what it is. Long ago dear reader, this Goblin worked in food service. He can spot "ready-made foods" from a mile away. This place leans more "eating to satiate", than "eating to satisfy", no matter how hard I fight my Goblin brain. Each meal, I come to terms with the sucker I am for eating a $27 omelette before tip. Herein lies our problem dear reader. Do I want a hummus plate for $12-15, that is essentially a disassembled and then reassembled menagerie of pre-made product on a plate? Or how about a cup of some mid-gumbo for $8? As a Goblin I have eaten many old soups out of a dirty cauldron, but Mid-Gumbo tastes like how Jack Harlow must feel waking up and telling himself he got blacker. Concerning the food (and Jack Harlow), it's about more than just lack of seasoning.

Especially for $7.00 during Happy Hour. We don't get a protein, but my wife and I have never been able to finish them all.

Did I get a mole? Did I come here for some work thing? I remember spending a bit above what I wanted to. The servers are helpful, but the bar is slow to get drinks out. They are also expensive and just okay. The interior looks like a Goblin outpost in a dark castle, so in that respect, they get points. There's a fire feature if you appreciate burning down the countryside like me. Sure, you can get some charred brussels sprouts in a balsamic glaze with feta and bacon to kick off the hang. But 2/3 times, the brussels sprouts came out as black as my Goblin heart. I like some smoke and char, but it tasted bitter and underwhelming. Chips and Gauc are serviceable, but don't come running. This place made more sense before exorbitant food cost increases across the greater Seattle area writ large. Let me paint one final picture for the real ones, "Matador is essentially Mexican Olive Garden with low lighting and candles". If you are okay with that, pull up a chair. In a world where four Goblins used to eat for $80, it made sense. No amount of sizzling fajita flare can change my mind.

Our bartender was friendly and awesome and the bar is dog-friendly (check out all the polaroids of past doggo guests - it's the cutest!).

There was some renovation going on, so there weren't any seats available for dine-in. However, there was a bench inside where we sat to enjoy our coffee, which worked out since I love having coffee at cafes, especially in their cute mugs. The quality of the coffee was amazing easily one of the best I've had in Seattle. I also appreciated their efficient setup: the barista takes your order and makes it at the same time. You might have to wait in line a bit longer, but you get your coffee right away instead of waiting for your name to be called later. Just be prepared for a line, but it's totally worth it!

I'd love to come back someday and spend more time there, savoring their coffee to the fullest.

I will say it took a while to get our snacks and drinks, but it was really busy and the live band was so good that we didn't mind at all. The space has gorgeous, moody lighting, and the music is at the perfect level where you can still have a casual conversation. But once a song ends, you might want to wrap it up just in case.
