Came with a friend here while roaming around streets of Seattle. The atmosphere really hits you here. People enjoying late evening and night times. The ambience is really good. We tried some cheese plate and a few drinks. I couldn't recall the drinks we had but one of them was Proper. Drinks were fine and this left us with a good impression.

It is so beautiful on the inside, exactly what you'd expect when you think of pioneer square. We've been coming here for years and there are always rotating items on the menu. We recently moved further away so we don't come here as much but we were going to a show across the street. The newest food addition on the menu was AMAZING! We enjoyed everything. We tried the carrots, asparagus, orecchiette and gnocchi!

I was in a hurry and they took care of me. I was running late for a Zoom call, I was starving and I didn't have anything to drink. I told them my situation and they said: "no problem!" Less than ten minutes later I was on my way back to my Airbnb with a risotto dish and a bottle of Cab Franc! I was set for the night, and my zoom call! I hope to get back here for the full dining experience some day.

Delicious, beautifully presented craft cocktails where the bartenders take pride in their product and service. We sat at the bar and drank an La Chute Old Fashioned and a Cosmopolitan. Amazing skin on French Fries (or salad) come with the burger; cooked a perfect medium rare. We had a side of Swiss chard with garbanzos, and grilled sardines. Incentive well balanced food! With mixed reviews we were somewhat concerned; our apprehension turned to being impressed very quickly. In Pioneer Square, walking distance from citizenM; highly recommended!

Certainly is an appropriate name because of Seattle's infamous rainy conditions. Damn The Weather is one of the hip places in Pioneer Square. It has lots of classy drinks as well as some food like charcuterie and things. Has additional rooms for banquets and groups. The prices are okay compared to some other places. A bar with a few things to eat. It's more of a bar than a restaurant it feels like. The bar in the middle is the main focus of the place. Has better cocktails to be honest. These aren't cheap but they're strong. It's about $13 for a typical cocktail. Last time we got a few including the Tropicana Spritz. Good one. This is made with Blanc vermouth, Cava, Gran Classico, Orange Blossom water, and soda water. As for the food, it has limits. There's not a whole lot for vegans. It's about $4 for the Cornichins. These are small pickled gherkins. There's a few things like the Grilled Vegetable Skewers that are like $16 or more, but it also has cream sauce. Has quite a few meaty choices. There's beef, lamb, and seafood. Good place for a few drinks and maybe some food. It's located on 1st Avenue at Washington Street. The cocktails are better than the food, which has mostly meaty things along with some things for vegetarians.

Gotta love the name! The hostess seated us and also waited on us... very hospitable demeanor, simply pleasant with her approach! I believe it's Ash. My first choice was their crispy chicken sandwich. It looked like I was going to love it. Unfortunately I don't like dark meat enough to eat as a sandwich.. so I was offered a replacement.. their Grass Fed burger- perfectly grilled onions, sauce, L&T ! Hands down delicious comfort at every bite! Flavored well along with fresh fries made me whole! Thank you for allowing me a second option! My Malibu Dream was fruitfully potent, not too sweet or bitter with mezcal, Campari & elderflower!
