    The Wash is a new bar that has a funky retro theme located in Capitol Hill. They're open early at 3 PM which is rare in the area. The bartender was very friendly and chatted with us. At 3 PM, it wasn't very busy, but had all the vibes nevertheless. The cocktail menu is fun and imaginative. We enjoyed a variety of drinks. I ordered the Goldie Griffith $13: Green tea infused rum, lemon, honey & ginger bitters, which was delicious. The bartender even made it a little sweeter for me upon request. We also ordered the Nachos ($12) as a little snack, which was loaded with cheese and toppings, perfect for sharing. It included salsa as well. There is a cute front area with couches, booths, and a bar space. If you want a little more privacy, there is a backroom semi-private area decorated with hearts. The windows are semi blocked out with colorful film, making the whole space feel very retro. The best part about our experience is the kindness of the establishment. The bartender congratulated our friend for her new job and comped her drink since it was her celebration.

    Tried this spot for the first time last night. It was well decorated and is really fun. Theres a person at the front who checks your id. Overall it was pretty chill and quiet when we got there but when we left it was more popping an hour later. I got the pearl hart and my friends got the wild bunch rose and primero jones, I personally liked mine the best but they were all good. I didn't find the drinks anything crazy or exceptionally good though. Overall the drinks were pretty good, I think it was just a chill night at the bar but maybe I'll try it again and see how it is next time.

    Always love checking out and supporting new local spots! The drinks were excellent, and the service was very friendly. Love that they're open early, but really wish they had a happy hour to go with it, especially when all other other nearby bars have happy hours until at least 6pm! There's lots of games in the front to play, and a variety of fun seating to choose from. One of the bathrooms is decked out in bright neon lights - even just 1 minute in there threw off my eyes for a while after, bring sunglasses!

    Always great service and good drinks. The food is pretty good too. Love the ambiance and vibes as well. I get a Long Island every time I go - it's always great no matter who makes it.

    TLDR: amazing. Please go!!! Was in Seattle with my friend for a few days, decided to go explore and bar hop on our late day. We were super nervous about going since we aren't used to this city but we were greeted warmly by the bartender and our service was quick. They were very pleasant and chatty and gave us lots of great tips. We felt extremely comfortable and welcomed. We got the chips and salsa + guac and were obsessed with it. The salsa is amazing. I got the draft Seattle cider and the draft IPA, both I'd recommend if you like beer! My friend got a few cocktails. They're good, definitely strong! The vibes, decor, and music were also fantastic. Booths are very comfy and it was clean and taken care of. The bathrooms are very fun and interesting. I really like this place. We are going to be coming back to this place next time we are in town.

    Deep Dive is my favorite cocktail bar in Seattle. The decor is incredible: Very speakeasy vibes,…read moreand 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've been here a number of times in the past and this experience was different and something has…read moreobviously changed...maybe they are focused on tourists more than locals now? For one, the bar service was mediocre for my $26 cocktail. I get more conversation from the bartenders at the Red Onion.... And because they bartender wasn't paying attention, he forgot to put our food order in....probably didn't need it anyway, I need to diet. And then we get the check and they automatically add 22%...if you are a quality establishment offering exceptional customer service, you don't need to tell me what to tip...guess you are not. And they they have the nerve to ask me if I want to tip another 18%, 20%, or 25% when I sign the check on their Toast device... I'll go out for a quality cocktail experience at Needle & Thread, The Doctor's Office, or maybe the Red Onion, lol. But I won't be coming back here ever again.

It's not stressful and the appointments ensure you have space for your enjoyment. The bar masters are experts. They make amazing drinks. The creativity of the menu and the staff is worth a stop. The list of cocktail options is rich and the stocked list of liquor is longer. The blow your mind moment is the pricing relative to most other boutique cocktail lounges or a place like Cannon that seems to just look to drain your bank account. Great place to check out and keep coming back.

We arrived 10 minutes early and had to wait for our seats to be ready as the other party was still there. It's quite small on the inside, and I think it only seats maybe 16 people at max? Either way, we had a great time. You get a small cup of champagne while you wait/once you are seated. We each tried two drinks, and honestly everything was great. My favorite was the tart au citron-- it was sweet and tart and a perfect cocktail! My friend really loved the espresso martini-- I had a sip and it's probably one of the best in the city. Definitely worth a try and will be what we get again next time we come again!

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.

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.

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.
