Cotton Reed - Washington

Great place to grab a drink with a friend and sit outside watching the world go by (or watch the union market district change before your eyes). The drinks are delicious concoctions, the service is very friendly, and it's one of the few outdoor seating areas that's actually relatively quiet because there isn't much traffic. An eclectic 80's mix provides a marvelous aural backdrop. No food service although there are plenty of food options nearby that you can bring in.

The cocktails are great but it is SO LOUD. Even outside, it was uncomfortably loud. Turns out blasting the bass in a warehouse space isn’t conducive to an enjoyable ambience…

No food served here but the drinks were amazing as always! The slushies are essential for summertime visits. Service was quick and staff is always fun and personable.

Great location and drinks but it took 30 minutes to get our drinks (with a reservation). We asked for water that never came. Would have stayed for more drinks but you just can’t get served.

Woman who checked IDs and Covid cards on the front created a really unpleasant experience. My Covid card had not been completely completed by a nurse when I got my first shot (it did not include my name on the card or the date of the first shot that is completely fair to ask), but after I had the reservation email for the shot she told me she needed a confirmation email. After receiving a confirmation email, she told me she actually needed a website record of the shot. After she had given up this, she sent me and my party back outside to get a confirmation email from the second shot, although this section of the card is completely completed. Overall, she made me bring about five different sources of confirmation that I got my Covid shot. We then sat with an open garage door, which was essentially outside at 35 degrees weather. After she had asked to move a table closer to a heating lamp, she told us we could not move because there were no additional chairs, although there were several tables open all night. Overall, it was a strange, hostile experience to only get drinks, even with a reservation. The drinks themselves are good, but expensive and our waiter was really nice, although they are clearly understated, because he was understandably slow as a result. f you're looking for a nice night, I'd try somewhere else.
