Reviews summary
Nestled beneath the Spheres, this speakeasy-inspired bar has captivated visitors with its intimate atmosphere and striking décor. While the cocktails impress, service experiences vary widely; some guests praise attentive and knowledgeable staff, while others report slow service and unwelcoming hosts. Reservations are essential due to limited seating, and while the food offerings are limited, highlights include a delicious focaccia. Ideal for a romantic night out or a casual drink, many patrons recommend it, though some caution it may not be suited for special occasions. Overall, the bar's charm and crafted drinks make it a popular, albeit mixed, experience.

The drinks were very satisfactory. everything tasted down. the place is great, but the bartenders need a little exercise.
Drink lasted 40 minutes and were terrible when we got them at the end. was not even checked in the 40-minute drink warte, saw as the norm.

Very good experience. The cocktails were great and the staff was tentative and knowledgable. The beef tar tar was dryer than we would like. The only downside we had was two random customers that came into the space that I reserved and put the deposit down for my group as they stared to treat that place like their own which made us somewhat uncomfortable.
We were anxious to try a cocktail. They have a very creative menu, unfortunately nothing with bourbon or whiskey. But had a very tasty Manhattan. It was Sunday and was very quiet and lacked a vibe but probably weekdays has plenty of energy.
We made a reservation for 2 and when we arrived we were not greeted for 10 minutes. We were not even acknowledged by staff. There was a couple waiting before us (they did not have reservations) that ended up leaving because staff had not acknowledged them either. When we were finally sat down we were tucked in a corner. After multiple tables left we asked if we could be seated somewhere nicer as there were many tables open and they told us no due to later reservations. Those tables were opens for at least 20 minutes and were never fully seated. When we ordered drinks, multiple drinks from the menu that we asked for were unavailable. The waitress did offer alternatives and the drinks ended up being pretty good but they were not what we wanted. The overall ambiance of the bar was wonderful however we were tucked in a corner so it was difficult to appreciate it.

Loved my experience. We were presented with a free glass of rosé upon arrival. The places was classy, friendly staff, crafty drinks, and great for a date night.
Fantastic atmosphere and impeccable service. Knowledgeable bartenders can make a drink as simple or weird as you want. Reservations are highly recommended (check their website, Google didn't have the reserve option) because there's limited seating and an obvious reason for popularity. The focaccia was a delicious soft pillow of goodness, a must try if you're snacking here too.
The best cocktails in the city along with the elegant interior and romantic atmosphere!

This place was amazing! The drinks were so yummy, the ambiance was on point and the service was exceptional. Our waitress was so friendly and helpful, we were seated in a cute little section all to our own right as we walked in on a Saturday soon after they opened. We were checked on often by multiple staff members who were all warm and welcoming. They even gave free shots to us because our drinks took slightly long to come out, which we weren’t even upset about! Overall would highly recommend
Chic little speakeasy serving some excellent drinks. Loved the ambience and the vibe here. It’s a shame they don’t take reservations. Luckily we went during non peak hours and were immediately seated. Highly recommend
A great bar under the sphere. Got a table in the separate area near the entrance, and the vibe and environment is pretty good. The old fashioned is pretty decent, but nothing surprising in my opinion. Still a great cocktail but a bit pricy. The Sun Smoke is really good. The egg white is foamy, and the cocktail is refreshing but not too sweet with strong spice flavor. A recommended cocktail bar in SLU/downtown Seattle!
This is a nice little speakeasy inside the Curtis Steiner art installation. It’s a little “harder” to find as it has its own separate entrance, but it’s a darker door on Lenora street. If you don’t have reservations, I suggest you arrive before it opens at 4pm. If you do, book well in advance so you get the date that you want. The drinks are all well made and the ambiance is nice. Service is top notch despite how busy it can be.

We always have a wonderful time at Deep Dive, special talk drink nights included. The staff are professional and attentive, the atmosphere goes above and beyond. The music is quiet, so it’s easy to speak. There’s a nice list of mocktails and their hot dog is an art. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Price per person: $20–30
Expensive, but worth it for for quality and complexity of cocktails and overall ambience of every corner, including the bathrooms! Was pleasantly surprised. Just be careful 22% mandatory service charge is included. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Price per person: $60–70
