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.

Like going back a century ago. - Incredible experience, like going back to the ‘20s. Amazing energy, unparalleled views of Seattle. We are also at the top, I 100% recommend it. Brissa helped us, she’s is 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!

great. - interesting presentation and beautiful views of the city from the top floor accessible. Cocktails also go the detour

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.

The history of the tower... - The history of the tower and of course the views food and drink at the observatory on the 35th floor! Charcuterie was delicious!

Highly recommend - Well worth the trip to the 35th floor. Beautiful views! There is information posted around the observation deck to help you recognize certain landmarks.

Spectacular Views but Bar Needs an Overhaul - Last time I went to the top of Smith Tower was over 40 years ago and it was free to ride the elevator. They now charge a lot of money to do so! The views are still spectacular and it is an iconic part of Seattle history. The bar was pretty full—definitely make a reservation when you get your elevator ticket. A scenic setting for expensive drinks (although they are very generous with their wine pours). The menu definitely needs an overhaul. Most items not available and the menu was full of crosscuts messily drawn by hand. We ordered the charcuterie board—very expensive for items that were worth maybe 1/6 the price. Overall though, a fun experience being a tourist in our own city.

Good view, Questionable service - The views were amazing. Don't go on a Thursday as the bar and restaurant doesn't get resupplied until Friday. They were out of many food items. But apparently not one that we were told was out. We ordered a plate that included a selection on meats. We negotiated a deal to get the rest of plate at a reduced price. A short time later a group seated behind us and ordered the same plate from the same server. Theirs magically included the meat?? Boomers vs young attractive women? Oh well

So disappointed... - I can’t tell you how disappointed we were last month when we visited Smith Tower with 6 of our friends, especially after I had talked up this venue. My wife and I have been Rum Runner Members several times over the last 8-9 years. And we love bringing visitors to the bar / restaurant with the incredible view. Our visit started out poorly when the hostess in the lobby could not renew our membership as had been done every other time we renewed. The renewal took five minutes in the past as all our information was already in the computer profile. So easy, right ? She said that we had to go online and renew, only option. Ugh ! Well, we had been at the Mariners game and, without my glasses, I had to renew on my phone. It took forever. I guess my fault for leaving my glasses in the car. So we finally get the memberships done and go to pay for the other 4 people when she informs me that there is no longer a discount if you show your Mariners ticket. Ugh ! Again. So we belly up another $ 50-60 for our other guests. We ask if she can provide us with our new membership cards, but those have gone away too. Oh well… We finally get upstairs , which is still the best view in town, and are given a tiny handwritten, small wine list. So disappointing after I had bragged for two days about this unbelievable experience about to be enjoyed after our baseball game. I looked like a goof. Unfortunately we have paid $ 200.00 for another year for the two of us. I doubt if we will ever go back to use the membership. Maybe there is a way that we can just cancel and get our $$$ back ? Let me know if that is an option. So sad that things change, and not in a good way. What happened ???
