Firn - Review - Pioneer Square - Seattle - The Infatuation

"Touted as Pioneer Square’s first rooftop bar, Firn at the Populus Hotel opened with a lot of pressure upon it (the poor thing). And while the long patio space makes for a nice outdoor hang, don’t expect a surplus of high-elevation excitement. It’s located on the sixth floor, eye-level with a few skyscrapers—and the only waterfront sighting is a small slice of shimmering blue, obscured by shrubbery from almost every angle. That wouldn’t matter if the drinks were fantastic, but they lack complexity in general (looking at you, five-ingredient clarified cocktail that just tastes like pineapple juice). Alas, there’s utility in popping up here before or after a Mariners game if you don’t feel like having stale beer and wings." - Aimee Rizzo
