Mountaineering Club - Seattle

The cocktails here are delicious! The DJs are always playing great music. The views on a clear night are fantastic.

The views and cocktails here are truly unbeatable. Accessing the 16th floor involves a secure elevator, which adds an air of exclusivity and makes the visit feel special. The selection of delightful cocktails and non-alcoholic drinks caters to a diverse range of preferences.

The Mountaineering Club offers one of the best views in Seattle. Unlike other rooftop bars that can feel pretentious and overdone, the Mountaineering Club has a friendly and inviting atmosphere. The outdoor-focused ambiance is enhanced by displays of antique climbing gear. The drinks were fantastic, and the views were even better. The prices are reasonable for Seattle, especially considering the high-quality cocktails. I didn't try any of the food, but I definitely plan to return for that. Be sure to make reservations in advance to secure a table outside.

The drinks were quite strong. I ordered the camper's plate, which I felt wasn't worth the $18, but it was still tasty and the portion was fair. However, there was no hot food available, despite it being 7:00 PM. Be sure to make a reservation, as you need to be buzzed up to the top floor by the attendant in the lobby. We wanted to sit outside, but weren’t allowed to, even though there were plenty of empty seats. The hostess seemed a bit standoffish. The view was nice, but beyond that, I can safely cross this place off my list and won't be returning.

The views are stunning! The bar has a cozy atmosphere, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. The cocktails are delicious, and the music is great as well! I highly recommend this place.
