Great views and fun interactive exhibit. - The Smith Tower building is fantastic. Fun to ride up in the classic elevator. The interactive exhibit was quite inventive and fun. You can plug into the old switchboard and overhear conversations that would have taken place. You can type on the antique typewriter. And you learn all about the history before going up. I loved the 360 degree view of the city from the Observation deck. Especially fun after doing the underground tour earlier in the day.

Stunning City Views and Interesting History - Great history and walking tour of the Smith Tower. The views alone are worth every penny. We followed up our tour with some cocktails at the Observatory Bar. Great experience.

Great visit. - Our first time to the Smith Tower, the history displayed and the old elevators made the experience awesome. The restaurant at the top had a nice view and we were able to enjoy lunch while enjoying the view.

Best bar in Pioneer Square, incredible view! - We had a group of 15 architects take the building tour and finished with a happy hour at the Bar. Both were fantastic! We were paying special attention to the architectural details and contemplating moving our office to the building, which would be amazing.

Awesome view, friendly staff, good times - I came here with my coworkers to get some food and drinks after work. The staff was very warm, welcoming, and communicative. I want to give a special thank you to Ayisha for her excellent customer service. She helped me and my friends upon arrival. The atmosphere and view in the dining space is great. I really enjoyed the Asian-themed menu too. Another shoutout to Iconic for some friendly banter. Would recommend visiting!

Bootleggers, Crooks and Intrigue...Oh My! - Richard our Tour Guide was terrific! I took my 95 year old Mom and she remembered being in the Chinese Room for a UW Fraternity Dance when she was 19 years old. So much fun.
