Otter on the Rocks: Reviews & Ratings
Maybe I am a bit bias, but this is my favorite bar in Seattle. The drinks are creative and tasty, with a rotating seasonal menu that obviously has a ton of thought and work put into it. The staff is incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable, and the vibes are chill and cozy. Love it!
Happened to stumble upon this absolute GEM of a bar! Tanner (who we later found to be the owner) was quite busy but whipped out some of THE BEST drinks I’ve ever tasted, while conversing with all his customers simultaneously. He offered suggestions to us about the local area which was appreciated! We only intended to stop in for a drink or two, but kept having to taste what else the menu had to offer! We will definitely be driving 3 hours away just to come back and try more! The foods was equally delicious but... MAN those drinks!
Love this spot so much because they have the best cocktails in West Seattle. It’s always a great spot for an afternoon or evening cocktail and bite but I just tried their brunch and it was fire! The cornflake milk punch is a must try along with the savory bacon waffle! Run don’t walk, West Seattle!
Cozy, chill, cool cocktail bar. Fabulously crafted cocktails -- including the best N/A cocktail I've ever had. Staff was kind and helpful. Great spot for a date or to hang with friends or coworkers.
Great experience, super tasty drinks overall very hip atmosphere! Micheala was such a wonderful bartender with plenty of knowledge about cocktails and the process very informative definitely recommend checking this place out!
We attended the Cocktail 101 class on Saturday! It was the perfect way to get ourselves into the world of cocktails. Tanner is very very friendly and was so patiently answering all our questions. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to learn about cocktail making / mixology in general. For folks who already attended the 101 class, Tanner is also planning to start an advanced class very soon!
Absolutely love this bar. The cocktails are a work of art, and the menu keeps the old favorites but also brings in new themes. They have a tons of fun events that are doing an awesome job of adding to the neighborhood culture. Would recommend you go, check in out, and meet the fabulous people who keep this place running, because I've rarely had such good friendly service!
Such a wonderful cocktail lounge! Friendly staff as soon as we walked in. Cozy and intimate seating for both small and medium sized groups. A little loft for additional seating that overlooks the main bar. A great selection on the main menu with a fantastic seasonal supplemental menu — we ordered some off the Christmas themed one. Let the other high ratings speak for themselves. Can’t recommend this place enough!
