    Veg Dim Sum
    Ashok S.

    Sol Liquor Lounge is one of those friendly great vibes bar. They open at 5 pm. Come early as their seating is limited and there are long lines to order. We incidentally went during the only week in December when they have their boozy eggnog. And that is what we got! 5 stars. Throw in a little nutmeg for a next level spiced drink. We got a basil mint cider too which was fantastic. Highly recommend making the trek to Capitol Hill and experience this for yourself. We got a Veg dim sum in a package deal. Took off one star for their food.

    My friend and I got here around 7PM and it was already pretty crowded! You order everything at the bar which made it convenient to just bring the drinks to our table. I ordered the Mai Tai, and thought it was pretty good. It was on a stronger side, however, I enjoyed the fruitiness. I also thought the price was pretty fair for a lounge-type area. The ambiance is very intimate as it is a smaller liquor lounge, which I enjoyed. It was a perfect spot to sit and enjoy a drink to get out of the cold.

    A bullion whiskey drink, I don't remember the name

    Might as well update this review! This place is still the classic neo-noir deco/urban speakeasy with a creative cocktail menu and chill NYC vibe. I was impressed with the menu and appreciated the creativity. I was glad to hear about the thought process around some drinks and that they update the menu with some regularity in a pleasant conversation with the bartender. I was really happy with the, quite interesting, bullion whiskey cocktail I ordered. They have a food menu now. I'm kind of forgetting what they served, but it seemed like pot stickers were maybe on the menu, along with maybe 5 other items. The place was about 3/4 full on a Friday. I noticed the service would bog down for awhile and then free up again, and that seemed to be the pattern for the evening. This is a really vibey gem tucked away in the northwestern end of Capitol Hill, great if you want to get away from crowds or just go to one of the cooler bars in Seattle.

    Kung Fu Theater

    5 stars!!! Landing at the airport at 10pm and hungry, we tried to find a place open late to start off our trip in Seattle -- here we went! Immediately walking in, the place itself is cozy but so classy and cute! When we went to order at the bar, the bartender working was really nice! We decided to order the Kung Fu Theater, Libby's Mai Tai, Shrimp Dumplings, Crab Shumai, and the Char Siu Bao. Mr. Bartender had a bit of a heavy pour because those drinks were dangerous!! Soooo good though!! We've never tried japanese whiskey before, but it's a new fave now! The Mai Tai came with a pineapple slice and cherry, and the sweetness of the fruit balanced out the slight sourness of the drink! We LOVED the Char Siu Bao, and the shrimp dumplings and crab shumai were really good, too. We ended up ordering more Char Siu Bao and spicy pork dumplings. Dim sum at a bar is virtually unheard of (to me), so this was a really cool place with good drinks and great food. I wish we had places like this in Vegas!

    Famous aged eggnog!
    Christine B.

    I heard about the aged eggnog online and had to try it. We came the Wednesday before Xmas, before 7pm. We narrowly beat the rush. It's seat yourself and order at the bar. The person taking orders also makes the drinks. He was so friendly and patient. Even as they got busy, he was totally chill and gave attention to every customer. They have dumplings (a wide variety) as the food option. I tried the vegetable dumplings and they were delicious. They came with three dipping sauces. The eggnog was worth the hype! We'll be back to try other drinks. It's a great spot with a cozy, friendly atmosphere.

    The ambiance of the lounge was so innovative. The artwork on the walls was gorgeous and the dark mood lighting made it a great place to sit and talk. The lounge even though small was not super loud and there was plenty of room for larger groups. The bar tenders were really kind but it is not table service so u have to place all drink and food orders at the bar. The dumplings were delicious and the cocktails had a heavy poor. I recommend coming during happy hour to snag a deal.

    Dim sum menu
    Diana C.

    This spot majorly impressed us! We headed in to have a few drinks while waiting for a table at a nearby restaurant. It was interesting but mostly unassuming from the outside, but inside it's actually a very intimate but casual atmosphere to have drinks with a date or friends. Though they only have snacks, their dumplings are actually pretty good and they had about 10 different kinds, including several vegetarian options too. I loved the leek dumplings and would definitely order them again. Their drinks were also very very good. Kind of more Asian fusion mixed tiki style for drinks and decor than what the photos seemed like. The servers were working hard and probably understaffed, but I was still impressed with how good each drink was and how efficient they were with only 2 of them for a full place. I'd definitely some here for drinks and dumplings again!

    Rumplestiltskin
    Kimmy L.

    My friends and I trekked over here for cocktails a few weeks ago. Sol is always the first result when I search for bars in Capitol Hill and so I knew we had to give it a try. I thought Sol was a Spanish bar because sol means sun in Spanish, but it's actually an Asian bar with Asian decor and a selection of dim sum. It could be a play on words of the Capitol, Seoul or it could be another way of spelling sul which means snow in Korean. Regardless, it was not what I expected when I walked in. (Update after reading prior reviews, this place was originally called Sun Lounge, but I think they must've either gotten bought out and/or changed their name). We grabbed a table in the back and ordered our drinks at the bar. We also got 5 or 6 orders of shrimp dumplings (each order is $8 and comes with 4 dumplings each). I ordered the Rumplestiltskin because I love chocolate and mint and have never had a hot cocktail before. However, I have to be honest and say that it was probably the worst drink I've ever ordered from a bar; every sip tasted like I was drinking pure Listerine. My friend got the same drink as me and agreed that the mint was overwhelming. Again, I love mint but the ratio of peppermint vodka or peppermint schnapps (or whatever rumpleminz is) to cocoa was way off to the point where I just couldn't drink it :( One of my friends ordered the Mai Tai but said the alcohol to juice ratio was way off as well; he had to request more juice to balance out the bitterness. The only drink my friends enjoyed was the Pedro Paloma, so if you do order a drink, order one of those. Food was honestly marginal. They obviously don't make the food themselves and so they weren't the greatest shrimp dumplings by any means; they probably just reheat them in the back. They were pretty bland without any sauce. However, they were steaming hot when they came out. Service was great and we quickly got our drinks and food. Our waiter was also quick to clear our table. Atmosphere was great as well and had a nice laid back vibe. If only their food and drinks were better :( Overall: 2.5/5 for drinks, 2.5/5 for food, 4/5 for atmosphere

    two cocktails on the bar

    Decent cocktail bar with rotating cocktail flights menu (when I visited, they did the negroni flight). I have had negroni before so I opted to go for their summer cocktail menu - Hotel Nacional which was a fruity pineapple type of drink served with lime, in a tall glass. It was quite refreshing and strong. Because I had a few drinks already earlier in the day, I opted to share this drink with a friend, and also tried his mocktail which has a nice spice kick to it on top of the grapefruit. Bartender is generally friendly, a bit hands-off. I wasn't aware that the pretty drinks were only for Tiki Tuesdays, but there are a decent number of tiki bars to go to here, but I would be open to come back just for the Tiki Tuesdays when I am in the area.

    Ramos Fizz. Speciality of Bartender.
    Disha G.

    Seattle has many places with crafty cocktails, but this one won my heart. Located in a beautiful neighborhood street of Seattle, this place has beautiful vibe to it, no matter you sit indoors or outdoors. I loved the crowd there and the bartender's special cocktail - Ramo Fizz.

The space is elegant, unique, and lives up to the photos. I also want to recognize the manager, who was polite, professional, and kindly explained that reservations were required. I completely understand and respect that policy. Unfortunately, my interaction with the bartender before speaking with the manager was the complete opposite. As I tried to get her attention, I felt like she repeatedly looked at me with annoyance and made me feel unwelcome. Rather than simply explaining the reservation policy herself, she went to get the manager instead. She had a problem with Hispanics. She refused to engaged at all. The way I was treated left me feeling uncomfortable and embarrassed, especially as someone who was genuinely excited to visit. A beautiful venue can only go so far when the hospitality doesn't match. I would have happily accepted that reservations were required if I had simply been treated with basic kindness and respect from the start. I truly hope this was an isolated incident because the location itself is stunning, and the manager handled the situation professionally. Unfortunately, because of my interaction with the bartender I've added in the photos, I don't see myself returning. Sadly they have a Prejudice bartender.

    Who deserves 10 stars? The Loupe Lounge does!…read more Here is the story. If you have a long layover you can stay at the airport or you can be a rebel and venture into the city. I am a rebel with a food cause and opted to dine at The Loupe Lounge on my layover. Well, that was the master plan but coming from Maui, there were delays and my little mission was diverted. Abort? Absolutely NOT! Being a SUPER optimistic about everything in life, I rushed to make a 5:30 p.m. reservation at 7:00 p.m. I know, it was pushing it but for $150 a person I did not want this opportunity to go to waste. We arrived at The Space Needle and were whisked up to The Loupe Lounge. The host was not sure if they could still serve us so she rushed to get the manager. She must have gone back to NYC Fashion Week because here comes the manager looking like a whole GQ model, super trendy manager in the house! Well, he accommodated us, very cool of him. You're an Angel cause we were starving! The food was packaged to go, it was so delicious I'm super bummed that we didn't get to experience this in person. It was pretty in a box can't imagine what it would have been like in person! Beggars can't be choosers! The meal was fantastic! Caviar was packaged with ice! How accommodating and it passed TSA. Drinks were amazing and Andrea was the BEST waitress! Lucky we had her! Overall, if I'm back in Seattle this is back on my to-do list! Very cool experience and worth every penny! Honestly pretty cheap considering all you get! The drinks alone were worth it!

    Old Fashioned - 4 stars Supernova Spritz - 4 stars…read more The lounge at the top of the Space Needle is all about the view--and that's the reason to be here. The drinks are nothing special and definitely not the highlight, but they get the job done while you take in one of the best panoramas in Seattle. The revolving lounge gives you a full 360-degree view of the city, so every seat feels like the best seat in the house. You can see all of downtown, the Puget Sound, and the peninsula across the water as the floor slowly rotates. It's an easy, relaxed way to take in everything without having to move around. Bottom line: don't come expecting craft-cocktail magic. Come for the incredible views, the unique experience, and the chance to see Seattle from above in a way that never gets old.

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.
