Chelsea and Luie were both a pleasure! Drinks were spot on and the vibes can't be matched! I'm based in Vienna, and have done my fair of travel...might I say some of the best service I've seen in quite some time! Roquette Martini was delightful and the Tropic of Youth was revelatory! Rivals anything back at home! Thank you Lovelies for the unforgettable experience! Love, Barrie read more

I had such a fun time talking with the bartender Luzcia and her coworker on Sunday. They were so nice and made me feel comfortable. She made amazing drinks and was very attentive to details and asked what I liked when I was looking for recommendations. read more

Came here for HH, and got the cocktail of the day which was a riff off of a whiskey sour and it was delicious. I also got the panic button which was even better - creamy from the egg white with a nice citrus balance. We came here at 6:30pm on a Tuesday with reservations but we did not need them, as there was plenty of space. read more

I booked the speakeasy at Roquette for my buddy's bachelor party, and it ended up being one of the highlights of the trip. We arrived around 5:00 PM and were greeted by a friendly and knowledgeable mixologist. While looking over the menu, he asked what I typically enjoy drinking. I told him I'm a big fan of an Old Fashioned, and he suggested an Eagle Rare Old Fashioned. It was, without question, one of the best Old Fashioneds I've ever had at any establishment. The balance of flavors was outstanding, and the attention to detail was obvious from the first sip. I was so impressed by both the drink and the overall experience that I asked him how he made it and what ingredients he used so I could try to recreate it at home. While I'm probably only 90% of the way there, I'll never quite match the perfection he achieved that evening. The atmosphere, service, and cocktails were all exceptional. If you're looking for a great speakeasy experience in Seattle, I highly recommend checking this place out. read more

Roquette - Eagle Rate Old Fashioned - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Fun specialty cocktails and beautiful space. A favorite bar of some friends my first time visiting. Stopped by before dinner near by. Always love finding a good craft cocktail bar. Staff is friendly and helpful in making decisions that suit your taste. I started with the Suede Umbrella, my friends had a Tuk Tuk Tang and Guavacita. Second round they had the Panic Button and I had the Roquette Martini. Well balanced cocktails. Extensive list.. would definitely visit again when in Belltown. read more

We decided to swing by Roquette on a random Friday night. The place is a bit small with limited seating so we are lucky to get a table for a large group on such short notice. They have a rotating menu which is interesting, so you never know what you might have in the menu. We tried a bunch of different drinks: the Gucci slipper, Guavacita, Golden Hour, panic button, old fashioned and space coyote. The reason for the 3 stars is the taste of the cocktails. Out of the many cocktails we ordered, the only one that was palatable was the guavacita. The others were too pungent or way too strong for my taste. Again, this is my personal opinion of the cocktails so the experience might be different for others. read more

Been in Seattle for a week and Wish I found this bar sooner. Crispy classic cocktails with mellow vibes. Must try either milk punch that's on the menu or specifically ask Will-he will most definitely help narrow down something to your liking. Best drinks and vibe in town! read more

Roquette - Cocktail o'clock - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Following the sage recommendation of a bartender at Zig Zag Cafe, I made my way into Belltown over to Roquette. Roquette was a surprisingly small space with a wonderful vibe serving up "destination" bar-worthy cocktails. It reminded me of some of the neighborhood gem cocktail bars that I'd frequented on the East Coast. I grabbed a seat at the bar. Roquette's lineup of cocktails were varied in flavor profile using a wide range of spirits. They also served non-alcoholic offerings which looked equally intriguing as their boozy selections. I started off with the 99 Problems ($28), which, unfortunately, I forgot to note what was in the drink. It was boozy, clever, inventive, and most importantly delicious. My second drink was the Imperium Old Fashioned ($24) made with Westland Whiskey "Roquette" Barrel, Clement Cask Strength Rhum, Old Delicious Apple Brandy, Pineapple, and Spice. It was an excellent, boozy, balanced update to the classic Old Fashioned. Although I went with drinks off their menu, I have no doubt that any of their skilled bar professionals could've crafted me a wonderful cocktail if I had simply requested a classic or something on the fly based on my choice of spirit and desired flavor profile. Yes, the prices on the two drinks I ordered were pretty steep, but they were comparable to prices I've paid in Las Vegas. Plus, I don't have a problem with paying a premium for a well-made cocktail made with premium ingredients in a comfortable, welcoming setting (the drunken guy next to me who tried to engage with me in a political discussion excluded). Bottom-line: Roquette was a revelation. It served up two of the best cocktails that I've had this year. I can't recommend it enough and it'll be at the top of my list of places to hit the next time I'm in town. read more

Small space but really nice. The people working there were super welcoming. The host was quick and kind to everyone at the door and made the wait feel easy. There was a bit of a line outside since it's a small spot so just keep that in mind, but he handled it well and kept the vibe friendly which made it not a big deal. They mostly serve cocktails with just a small selection of beers. I had a beer and it was cold and poured well. Service was great and the whole place had a cozy feel. Definitely a good pick for a chill date night or if you just want a quiet drink somewhere nice. read more

Great cocktail bar!! Thought the panic button drink was one-of-a-kind. It had a Sichuan pepper (if you can handle spicy) that changed the flavor of the drink after eating the spice. Amazing. We did walk-in for a party of 3 on a Thursday evening. Waited about half an hour for seats. It was pretty popular for a school night. read more

We came to Roquette right at open at 5p for drinks before dinner. We got espresso martinis and they were delicious. They had a unique cinnamon flavor that I enjoyed. We also got the Broom of the System, which was the cocktail of the day and tasted like Apple Pie. It was great. Definitely plan to come back to Roquette. read more

Roquette - Golden Hour - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Roquette is my favorite cocktail bar in the PNW. This is where I take all the out of town visitors for drinks and they are always thrilled. The interior is beautiful and cozy. The bartenders are fantastic every time, and the drinks they create are delicious and unique. They also make creative mocktails, beyond just serving "juice and grenadine" like at other bars that attempt mocktails. The drinks are about $15-20, and you are paying for the craft and thought with each beverage- I can promise it's worth it. read more

Even for a cocktail bar, reservations are strongly recommended. Great menu diversity with some fun cocktails. Excellent service. My only knock is the serving size, where a mammoth ice cube occupied about 80% of my cocktail glass, meaning the actual cocktail was a bit small for the $24 price tag. Happy hour Martinis were just OK, but a more affordable $12. read more

We popped in here after dinner for a drink. It is such a cool spot, very intimate. The service was fantastic, friendly and knowledgeable. The drinks are well made and tasty. They have a small food menu but since we'd already eaten, we didn't try anything. read more

Found this spot after we had dinner nearby, it was around 7:30 we got there and there were a couple groups there but not too many people. Very cool and well decorated spot and the service was really nice. Cocktails were interesting and good! I personally liked the panic button more than the snow on the beach, creamier and sweeter and the numbing flower was so fun read more

Great vibes. Great drinks. Definitely a spot for a fancy lil cocktail. It was Big Cat Friday apparently, all the staff was adorned in leopard print, tiger patterns, the works. The decor felt fun and elegant and intimate. Rocking that spinning disco ball! We got the Tonka Truc - boozy so delicious! Pandemonium - you really taste the pandan Would come back on another night where I'm itching for a nice cocktail. read more

Ambiance - 4 Cool vibe. Sat at the bar which was comfy and fun. Not too loud either. Drinks - 4.5 Very good drinks. My wife got one with a "buzz button" which is a peppercorn flower that numbs your mouth and changes the flavor of your drink. Pretty cool. Service - 4 Solid service. Not super personable but not rude. read more

This bar has a no socializing policy. If you speak to anyone who is not in your party, you'll be asked to return to your seat or leave. My girlfriend very politely and kindly engaged in conversation with two other women at a nearby table and I was informed by the bartender that I needed to make her return to her seat and leave other patrons alone. I asked if anyone had complained and was told that no one had. I then informed my girlfriend and the ladies she was speaking with about this and the ladies also said it was ridiculous. They were enjoying their conversation, which I had to rudely interrupt to satisfy the uptight bar manager. We had just come from a nice anniversary dinner and my girlfriend was wearing a lovely dress, and was not inebriated. I say this only to be clear that it was not as if she was some drunken or unsavory person giving unwanted attention to strangers. She was merely being social at a bar- isn't that what bars are for? Apparently this bar only wants you to socialize with the people you came in with. It is disgusting to me that so many establishments turn a blind eye to men wantonly hitting on single women and groping at them, and yet when a woman harmlessly tries to make friends with other women, she's told she's unwelcome. What a joke. Don't bother with this place. It's just another bar with nothing unique to offer other than the same over priced drinks as anywhere else. read more

I went here on a Monday after work right in time for their happy hour which occurs from 5-7pm daily. I got the espresso martini which is discounted to $12 (originally $17) as well as their popular Panic Button. The espresso martini, like other reviews say, is good. I did find it not as ideal that they premade their espresso, but the difference is marginal compared to espresso martinis with espresso made on the spot in the Centurion Lounges where I always order that drink. What stood out in their version is a bit more creaminess and sweetness. The Panic Button is very similar to the Verbena cocktail from The Chandelier in Vegas, but this one is not as floral or herbal. However, the buzz button they used here is much stronger and lingers for longer, around 5 minutes, and there were moments that the numbness was so strong I thought I was suffocating. So I would recommend you to take small bites and let the buzz button longer in your mouth before you eat more, since I did pop the whole thing and swish around my mouth. The flavor profile of the cocktail was the exact same, so this drink is just a for-experience, which was a bit disappointing as the recommendation is to drink half the cocktail first, then pop the buzz button and drink the rest, which implies some sort of different experience. Overall, this is a fairly good bar in Belltown, and it is recommended to go during the weekdays as I can see it being quite popular and busy during the weekends. It is conveniently located to many good restaurants; since there are limited offerings of food here aside from small bite snacks, the best way to spend the night is get some nice drinks here and then go to another restaurant for food before/after. read more

I went to Roquette with some friends on a Saturday night. We walked into the unassuming door and were greeted promptly. The bar itself is fairly small with some bar seating and about 6 booths for larger parties. Luckily there was a table immediately open for us and we were led to it. The cocktails at roquette were really good. They were strong but I couldn't taste the alcohol. My favorites were the Paper Moon, Panic Button, and the Space Coyote. Throughout the night the staff constantly checked in on us by refilling our waters and cocktails. Roquette easily has become one of my favorite bars in Seattle and I'll definitely be back. read more

okay MOODY!!! I love this spot for a bougie cocktail. Definitely mysterious lounge vibes, which I love. Service is always great and drinks are strong. I usually ask for recommendations because I'm not familiar with some of the ingredients in the drinks (#fancy) and they've come out delicious. My boyfriend has a nut allergy and they were very conscious of mixing our drinks behind the bar. This is also one of the few cocktail lounges that's open till 2 most nights. Fun place for a nightcap or if you feel like being cute! read more

I've been here prob 5 times in the last 7 months or so and there is a reason- best cocktails and bar atmosphere in Seattle. The staff is really fun and engaging as well. Most recently came to celebrate my birthday with my girlfriends. The staff made me feel super celebrated and special. Wish I could handle more alcohol and work my way through the entire menu! Will be a gradual process. read more

One of my favorite cocktail bars in Seattle. The ambience is cozy and intimate, making it a perfect spot for date nights. We decided to stop here for a drink after dinner but ended up having more because the drink choices were so diverse and interesting. They have a good mix of house cocktails and classics. Their drinks are well crafted with smooth flavors. They have probably the best espresso martini I've had in Seattle. Their staff is knowledgeable and friendly. The prices are a little on the higher side ($18-$24) , but totally worth it. Looking forward to coming here again and trying more drinks on their menu. read more

The Roquette has amazing drinks. I tried the Roquette old fashion and it was amazing!

The taste of drinks were fine and the presentation was beautiful. The service was fine, but I felt bit rushed to leave unless I order another drink as this place is popular and have people waiting for seats. I still love and would pick my other speakeasy bar because the owner allows me to sit and relax without being rushed to order another drink. Otherwise cute little place. I will come back again. read more

Roquette was recommended to us by a server next door at Umi Sake House (which I'd also recommend if you come here!) We are really glad we stopped in since they had great cocktails and a cozy atmosphere. The atmosphere feels kind of like a speakeasy but with a subtle tropical flair. We came on a weeknight and didn't have a reservation but after a short wait they were able to seat us. The server did a good job recommending drinks based on what we said we enjoyed. I would come back if I visit Seattle again and I would also tell friends to come here too. read more

We were recommended to come by another bartender to help our night keep going. The place is STUNNING. Super cool vibe with and elevated understanding. We sat at the bar and were happy to see locals mingling with the staff but them being just and welcoming and inviting to us too. We asked for drink recommendations and they helped us find our best fits. We got a couple drinks and left happily buzzed. Not too many food options but we were not mad about it. read more

Never knew this place existed even though I've been going to List and Umi literally right next door. Glad I got to check it out a few days ago. Decor is cute and drinks are one of a kind. I loved sitting at the bar watching my drinks being made. Cocktails are on the pricy end ($17-$24) but you're paying for ambiance as well. Side note: This place would make a cute date spot! read more

Been here twice! First time I came with a group of three without reservation but was still able to find seating at the bar. Second time I came, I booked a reservation online was an easy process with a five dollar deposit that should be applied to your bill. Max RSVP online is 6, but I messaged them on Instagram and easily increased to 7 (which is probably the max I would suggest for the size of the seating). They don't have a phone number listed anywhere on their website, Insta, Yelp, or Google so I highly recommend just DMing on Instagram if you can. When we showed up, we got ushered to our table and got the first round of drinks quickly. All the drinks for delicious and you really can't go wrong from the menu. The panic button is definitely one to try due to the Szechuan buzz button though. After you eat the dehydrated flower, your mouth gets tingly and a little bitter - totally changes the flavor profile of the drink! The only downside to our visit was one worker, who seemed bothered I asked for a drink recommendation. He suggested a Mezcal drink, and when I told him I didn't like Mezcal he was dismissive saying "well I only drink Mezcal".... A different bartender, who we talked to our first visit, was also there and a lot friendlier, so I won't completely knock Roquette for the service. read more

As I wrapped my dinner at Umi Sake (the place right next door), my friend and I randomly decided to go for one drink to Roquette in Belltown and ended up staying quite a bit and had three more rounds of cocktails from their well crafted menu collection. It's a laid back, sophisticated yet lively and cozy. I love gin so I got Panic Button cocktail (empress gin, lemon, egg white) It had some seed which left my tongue with a bit of tingly feeling. It was quite yummy. Service was decent. Our server kept refilling our glasses with water to ensure we're hydrated. That was very sweet. This place qualifies for a cute date night spot.
