ALTITUDE Sky Lounge

The views from this lounge are stunning—especially at night! The nighttime skyline, including high-rise buildings, the Space Needle, and a touch of sunset, created a serene and memorable atmosphere. I came for the views, and they truly made the experience exceptional. However, the dining experience fell short. There were limited food options, and while the server (Rose) seemed to be doing her best, service was lacking. I wasn't provided with silverware or napkins, which delayed my meal further on an already busy Friday night. For the price of an entire meal, the food was disappointing—just six pieces of lettuce and a few small cuts of smoked salmon ($35+). The lettuce was so big a napkin was required and they only had 1 sald dressing option. Given the service and food quality, the tip felt undeserved. That said, the ambiance and the view alone made the visit worthwhile.

The atmosphere and views at Attitude are amazing — definitely a great spot to grab a drink and take in the Seattle skyline. The vibe is lively and the space feels chic and modern. That said, the service was pretty underwhelming and the food was just okay. Worth checking out for the ambiance, but don’t go in expecting top-tier service or standout bites.

Great drinks, great views, and great hosts and waiter!!! The cocktails seemed light on the liquor but after three cocktails I started to feel funny lol. Good job guys. Add some live plants 🪴 and you got a winner!!!

A rooftop bar on top of the Astra hotel. It has great views of the space Needle, sunset, and lake Union. The lounge itself is a bit small so it can easily get crowded. I've been here about four times. The bartenders are very friendly. The hosts are a little bit apathetic. Overall, we enjoyed our experience here..

Super fun place to enjoy a drink. Did so with coworkers on a warm summer evening. Great views of the Space Needle and a bit of Lake Washington. Great artichoke dip and charcuterie board. Got a Negroni, one of my favorite cocktails.

Great place to have drinks or go on a date. Jus hangout and enjoy the view. Especially if it's your 1st time or 1st visit to the city&location 👍

I was really excited to visit this place to celebrate an anniversary. When we arrived, the person at the front desk was friendly and welcoming — a great first impression. But as soon as we went upstairs, the mood shifted. One staff member seemed to be in a bad mood, making unpleasant faces and completely killing the vibe. We were seated outside and it was pretty cold, so I noticed a table near the fire pit that was empty. There were already two people sitting there, and since the bar area was otherwise empty, I asked if I could join them — they kindly said yes. We started chatting and everything was going well, until a woman came over — not sure if she was a hostess or server — and told me I couldn’t sit there because there “might be a reservation.” I politely asked what time the reservation was for, and with a rude tone, she said, “Right now.” So I stood up and left the table… but then we waited about 30 minutes and no one ever showed up. That whole interaction was completely unnecessary and handled poorly. Instead of trying to find a solution or speak with us respectfully, she made the situation uncomfortable and honestly ruined the experience. This place has potential, but that kind of attitude toward customers is unacceptable. I wouldn’t come back because of that.

Amazing views and grate for pics. They also have non alcoholic beverages like mocktails, which are not on the menu

This place is always a vibe! The DJ plays a mix of new and old music with their own twist on it. Usually top 40, or popular R&B. The views are impeccable and definitely the perfect spot for a sunset. The food is your typical upscale hotel food. I've had the corn dip, and tacos. The tacos are absolutely delicious. Ask your server for recommendations when you order and trust them! They are friendly, knowledgeable and pleasant to deal with even with larger groups.

I wanted to experience a rooftop bar in Seattle during summer and found this place. It was easy to make a reservation online and I think it is also recommended. The view at the rooftop is not bad. I mean it isn't breathtaking but certainly gives you a good view of the Seattle skyline. The food there was alright. Not outstanding but also not bad either. I personally felt the music level was too high for my liking but maybe others would disagree. Overall I think it is an alright experience that I probably would not visit again anytime soon.

My second time here and I just love it! I'm pretty sad summer is ending because I love the roof top spots out here and this one is one of my favorites. Such a pretty view. The staff is amazing! Our server Liz rocks! She was so busy, yet still attentive, on point and fun! I appreciate her. My first time here Myles was our server. He was there on my second visit but working and event there. He's great too! Made my first experience pleasant. I had the chips and pepper dip and the dip was good and chips are fresh, made in house. I haven't explored the food menu. Was there just for drinks and those were yummy too. I had the Hot 'N' Bothered and an Espresso Martini. Great choices. Overall great times there, great staff and great drinks! I'll be back again.

I love a rooftop in a sunny Seattle day, nothing can beat it! So when I say I wanted to love ALTITUDE Sky Lounge you better believe it. The view was incredible of south lake Union and the space needle! The ambiance was incredible! Now the service! The check in process when you enter the building was quick and helpful. The host at the bar was friendly and had us seated quickly. The server was a bit aloof. She came by a couple times then disappeared. It was weird. The food was great! The goat and fig flatbread was so good! The margarita was also great. I really enjoyed both!

First off, let's address the elephant in the room - the fact that it was a "cloudy day in Seattle." Truly, a shocking and unprecedented occurrence that no one could have foreseen. But despite Mother Nature's best efforts to rain on everyone's parade, you still managed to soak in those sweeping vistas for miles. I imagine the scene must have looked something like a Bob Ross painting gone horribly wrong - just a sea of fluffy gray swirls, punctuated by the occasional tantalizing glimpse of the city skyline peeking through. It's like the weather gods were playing a cruel game of "Now you see it, now you don't" with the poor diners. And then, the cherry on top - the DJ spinning all the right tunes to set the perfect "cool date night" mood. I bet they were up there, furrowing their brow in deep concentration, carefully curating the ideal playlist to complement the brooding, moody ambiance of the cloudy sky. All in all, don't let a little (or a lot) of cloud cover dampen your spirits.

Great view bad service. Stopped by for some drinks, while the beverages were great the service was awful. Lack of attention, slow service and rude communication.

We met up with some friends for some food and drinks. I was on a keto diet, so I didn't get to try much of the food. I shared the Charcuterie and Cheese Board with the table and got a tequila soda. Looked like everyone was enjoying their food and drinks. Cute place, nice atmosphere. Nice view outside, just the outside rooftop area isn't as spacious as I thought it'd be. Our waitress was great. And we enjoyed the DJ and his music.

Beautiful space inside and our greeter was the sweetest. Prices are about average for what you'd expect for a rooftop bar, but the view was unmatched! Loved the hot & bothered cocktail, although the service was a bit slow. Also fun and loud pop music from DJ.

Great ambiance and views perfect place to come with friends to have a drink and relax. Staff was attentive & very kind. They stop serving food at 10pm . We got their tequila flight which was about 45$ which is honestly worth it for really good tequila. This is definitely a must will be back again.

I came here for a date night this summer. It had a beautiful view of SLU and the city. The views were amazing and we really liked our drink too! The food was just okay in my opinion but maybe that was because of what we got. I definitely think everything was probably a bit too expensive for what you get but you are paying for the experience and the views. But both our drink and appetizer was $16 each and for the whole experience I am just not sure if it was worth it! The service was good though, they allowed us to move to different seats because the sun was in our eyes!

Beautiful views from this rooftop. Great for sunset drinks! Music played by the DJ was very nice and chill sort of deep house and lounge vibes. I wish there wasn't a time limit on the tables! Oh well! The food was good too. Street parking nearby available. This place should regularly host day brunches/parties on the weekend. I think that would be a hit!

The Altitude Sky Lounge offered us a full experience from the views to the food and service! We enjoyed amazing cocktails and a wonderful relaxing atmosphere. Definitely a go to lounge for us and highly recommended!

This rooftop restaurant in Seattle offers some of the best views in the city, making it a great spot for a special occasion or a memorable night out. While it's definitely on the expensive side, the stunning skyline more than make up for it. The atmosphere is vibrant and the perfect setting for a dinner with a view. Though the prices can be high, the experience--paired with the incredible views--makes it worth the splurge. Ideal for those looking to enjoy great food while taking in some of the best sights Seattle has to offer!

I stayed at the Astra Hotel for the weekend, so I was able to spend plenty of time at Altitude. This place works for all sorts of occasions and needs. It works for an early happy hour spot, if you want to grab a beer and check out the view. Of course, it's also a nighttime spot, but you'll have to deal with lots more competition to get in. I would say the best time is early afternoon. You're able to grab a snack or one of their pizzas and spread out a bit. Every bartender I talked to was truly so nice as well!

Came here for a work hosted event where they reserved an area up top. 1) the view is amazing 2) the food was surprisingly good 3) the bar had quite good options 4) the tables were wobbly 5) even with ac it was quite warm in there like a green house 6) it was pretty noisy so a bit hard to have a conversation 7) when the reservation ended they told us we had to move out which is fine but then if we wanted to stay we would have to get back in line and get re seated. seems really odd to me

I wanted to check out a rooftop bar to enjoy Seattle's summer sunset and was able to snag a reservation here on a Saturday evening the week before. We arrived and checked in early, but waited at the hotel lobby until our reservation time. We were then brought up to the lounge area, and all was well. Upon getting seated, we were immediately served water and was able to look through the menu presented through the QR code on the table. However, no one came by our table after that. We sat there for 25 minutes before having to flag someone down to take our order and voiced how it had been 25 minutes. I don't even know how long we would have had to wait if we didn't call for someone ourselves. Shortly after, someone came to take our order and our drinks came promptly. They had also given us complimentary champagne for the wait. I got the Garden Party and my partner got the Altitude 170, which we both thought were decent. The view outdoors is beautiful and we were able to catch the sunset. I also really liked the two DJs that played while we were there! The first one played house and the second one did a lot of throwback songs, which was fun. I also appreciated the heaters and fire pits that turned on once the sun had set. Overall, I liked the environment of the lounge and can see it as a fun place to gather with a small group of friends to catch up on a nice day. However, for the prices of the drinks and how limited reservations are, I expected service to be better and am hesitant to come back again.

I came to Altitude on a Wednesday night last month. It was exactly what I expected & much more. The views were immaculate. Incredibly beautiful and romantic. I had 2 glasses of their Riesling which was a little too dry for my taste. It definitely got me buzzed though. I wish they had a wider variety of wines, particularly dessert wines. Aside from that, I had no complaints. I quite enjoyed my time here.

We came here on a Tuesday around 8:45pm. The menu selection for food was not that much. There were a lot of drinks to choose from though. My amaro daiquiri was delicious and smelled very good. Great view and clean environment. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Parking was street parking, free after 8pm. It was easy to find a spot as it was on a Tuesday. You have to check in with the concierge on the first floor and inform them that you have a reservation in order for them to show you to the elevator for going up.

I can't speak to the food but if you're looking for a great rooftop bar with an awesome view of Seattle, this is definitely the place. Service was great but the prices are a tad steep.

I've been in search of a good rooftop lounge for a while in Seattle. Seeing the 3.5 star rating, I hesitated to make reservations initially. I figured the "meh" reviews were worth it to enjoy the view. I was pleasantly surprised at the service. The hostess and our waiter were extremely nice and attentive. I made an outside seating reservation for 4:30PM, and when we felt ourselves overheating, the hostess pleasantly moved us inside. We ordered some food and drink. The "who done burnt it" spread presentation was nice and tasteful. We also ordered the "hot n bothered" cocktail. It was shockingly small for $20 but tasted great. Overall, a little on the spendier side but worth it for the view. Parking was fine and there is valet, but on the same block there is a parking garage that is free from 4PM-2AM, so I suggest parking there. A word of warning: the patio gets VERY hot. The table was incredibly warm since the sun beamed on the metal. I suggest making reservations inside up until near sunset. Otherwise, get ready to cook.

Beautiful view, great music, limited menu options. I was under the impression this was a full on restaurant. It's only quick eats, small bites, and drinks. Was a little disappointed by the menu options, but the food was good and the service was great. It's expensive for sure, 3 appetizers and 2 drinks was just over $100. We had stayed in the Astra hotel so it was convenient and worth checking out.

It was our first time here and Definitely will be back! We had such a fun and great experience our waitress (Liz) was amazing provided us the best customer service. So worth the try!

Great drinks with fun touches of pizazz! Good service and awesome views especially if you're showing someone around Seattle. Bathroom has good selfie lighting

How has this gem been in SLU and I'm just now hearing about it?! Went for happy hour with some coworkers one Thursday. It was a beautiful day and we had a great view of the Space Needle. The staff had opened the deck doors so let the light in. Our server was so friendly and recommended her favorite things on the menu. We practically ordered one of everything. Some tasty items were the Charcuterie board, Fungo Flatbread, Shrimp Cocktail, Pimento Cheese Dip. The cocktail menu rotates and I'd love to go back and try some of the fall cocktails.

Great drinks ,, amazing views and ambience Service is great , everybody goes out of their way to help

I came on a Friday around 4 p.m., and I was placed on a wait list since there was no more reservation available. I was told by the hotel front desk at check-in that reservations are a must as they can be very busy. Located on the 16th floor, nice ambiance and view of downtown. You can see the space needle from here. My cocktail was decent, but no wow factor. It looked prettier than it tasted. It's a cute and chic place to just grab a drink and I like that it's conveniently located at the hotel.

Spectacular view outside to catch a sunset, Decent cocktail bar, you can not expect to have a dinner. However I've been there once plan to stop by again, there is no much places with view like that in Seattle, so totally worth it

Premium drinks with a view to match. Had one of the best old fashioneds I've ever tasted and took in the sevenery of the entire city. Drinks are on the pricey side, but they're worth it. I asked for something unique and the bar tender just came up with something based on what I told him I liked. You may find a bar seat if you're early. Everything else is by reservation, so call ahead

SO good! I do wish they had a few more options for food that were more filling def a good happy hour and appetizers place:) you just have to order a bit more to make it more filling. If your showing people around this is a great spot! Beautiful view of Seattle, cozy and friendly environment :)

My wife and I are from Southern California and we went a month ago for my birthday weekend and it was an amazing experience. Fantastic view of the city with good drinks. We showed up after 10pm, so the kitchen was closed already for the night. That was unfortunate but not putting blame on them. The fire pits definitely helped when it came to light & warmth, it was a little chilly that night. So it was nice overall and I recommend to anyone that goes and visits the city of seattle.

We came here for the views. However, my cocktail was delicious! Our waiter was very informative and answered all our questions.

What can I say, it is all about the view here! A very beautiful scene from Altitude at the top of this building. The staff was super friendly. The cocktails are pricy but delicious. I hope to come back to try the food, sample more cocktails, and take in that view again.

Staying at Astra, I was fortunate enough to have the ALTITUDE Sky Lounge right up the elevator during my time in Seattle. I figured I'd stop by on my first night to see if the views were as pretty as they seemed. One odd thing was that I tried to go up to the rooftop deck from my room's floor, and for some reason kept having issues with getting the elevator to accept my request to go up to the top level. I had to end up going down to the bottom floor and go back up to the roof - not really sure if that's intentional. When I got to the top I sat myself at the bar and ordered an espresso martini. The bartender was super quick with getting my order out, and all the payments were through a QR code digitally so it was easy for me to close out and leave when I wanted to. The espresso martini was good, nothing too spectacular. I will say that I was shocked that they were charging $18, but I guess what did I expect from a rooftop hotel bar. The views outside are definitely worth it though - absolutely breathtaking to take in the cold Seattle air and just look out at the lights and the Space Needle at night. However, not sure if it was worth an $18 cocktail...

5 stars to the view and the ambiance. I really like that they have fireplaces. 1 star to the service. We just wanted to have a quick drink because we didn't have a lot of time and even though there was plenty of space, the hostess said we could not stay because everything was reserved. Again... we just wanted to grab 1 drink and maybe stand near the bar for 30-40 min. She let me in for 2 min so I could take a picture and a short video. But I was disappointed that she was so inflexible and did not let us stay.

We stayed at the Astra Hotel for a few nights so it was only eight that we visited the rooftop bar, Altitude during our stay! Altitude is known for their rooftop vibes w/ a gorgeous view of the Seattle city. The patio outside was unfortunately closed since it was a fairly cold night. You couldn't see the skyline but I am positive it is gorgeous during the evening. inside was very clean - there were a mix of loungey table seating, cocktail tables, etc. perfect date night vibes I think. We came a little too late so they were no longer serving small bites (we showed up around 1030pm), so we just ordered 2 rounds of drinks. I had a glass of wine because I'm boring, my bf had some cocktails, both of which he enjoyed but did find a tad too sweet for his taste. Our servers were friendly even thought we came pretty late, we didn't feel that we had to wait a long time to get our order or drinks in. My bfs second drink had a fun little flair where they smoked the orange so it was fun watching them do their work! I did love all of the vibes here. even though we spent a quiet evening at Altitude, I think this would be a great happy hour date spot when the whole patio is open!

Altitude with an Attitude for sure. The view is really great during sunset! Drinks were good, we got a hot n bothered and traditional old fashion. Staff was not so great with service.

I went to this place with a girlfriend of mine and let me just start with the good-- the restaurant views are phenomenal; the music was exceptional... the service however was lackluster if i'm putting it nicely. We had a reservation but the staff was very off putting and even a little rude. We sat without anyone coming to the table for a good 20 minutes after seating but we wanted to stick around to see how things went. We also requested outdoor seating when we made the reservation but were giving a table in the back of the restaurant with no view so that was super disappointing. The drinks were mid at best, not really worth the price tag imo. At this point i'm not sure if it was just an off night or if i would give it another try. I just kind of felt as though we were treated as second class citizens and I'm not really sure why.

Awesome view! My friend and I came in to check out the music and vibes. Loved it all ! Danielle was very sweet and attentive. We will be back when it gets warmer.!

Beautiful view, but I'm sure there are friendlier bars in Seattle with a similar view. I understand that Altitude is upscale, but I felt like the server was rude to my friends and I. Basically, the server kept checking in on us insisting that we order shots, when we barely finished our cocktails. We stayed less than an hour. I personally felt uncomfortable and felt pressured to order more drinks even though I didn't even finish my cocktail yet. Anyways, the fireplace was super cute on the patio, so I recommend during golden hour.

They should call it the Attitude, would be better fitting. I wad staying at that hotel repeatedly, then once decided to use the Lounge. Well, trying to get up there, it was very hard to distract the hostess from her phone. I succeeded by standing in front of her and just starting to talk, she had to look up. I know it really bothered her, but fine, she dealt with it. It did not make a difference that I was a hotel guest or whatever, the wait was for almost an hour to get up. No problem, I guess it is popular. Once I got my sms that I can go up and I went back to the waitress, and again... very hard to get her attention. At that point I clearly understood that I was not welcome and definitely bothering her. Anyway, made it up and the salad was expensive, but good. The drinks were expensive, but ok. So, overall it was fine. Just why that attitude in the Altitude Bar?

The views were amazing and my whiskey sour was delicious! On top of that, the outdoor seating area included a blanket on each chair and individual fire pits. The waitstaff were attentive and DJ had a great playlist. Definitely coming back.

Great spot! Easy to locate with an amazing view. Service was decent, although the menu options were somewhat limited. I found some items to be confusing - what you order might not always match what you expect. It's a bit perplexing navigating the menu. Reservations are a must for this establishment.I think this place is great for dates and meeting up with friends, but maybe not the best for family outings.

the service was wonderful, the view is fantastic, BUT, the drinks were overpriced. I don't mean a little inflated, I mean jaw droppingly ridiculous. The menu had very reasonably priced apps, and even their cocktail menu was reasonable. This is a hotel rooftop bar, not the Four Seasons, and we went there around 5:30, after work, usually happy hour times, certainly not prime bar time. I just wanted a shot of Knob Creek, and was expecting 9 to 11 dollars for a call shot of a not very premium bourbon, given the prices on their menu. When we got the bill, the shot wasn't even 15 or 18 dollars, which I might shrug off due to the view. They charged 23 dollars! Flabbergasted. My wife's Hendrick's martini? 27 dollars. I guess they had to pay for the greeter in the lobby somehow.

Views were awesome! The hostess was delightful and kind. Our server didn't seem to care for us too much. Drinks were good. The fig and goat cheese pizza was delicious!

Very nice rooftop views! We liked the option of sitting indoors or outdoors. The drinks were more on the pricier side, but it was good and the charcuterie tray was also great. We went when it was slow and the service was quick.

A truly GREAT Old Fashioned and nice views of the Seattle skyline and the Space Needle, along with a good DJ/music.

Just a heads up, if you plan to attend the NYE party here you better buy the $1k VIP tickets. They now block off the balcony for VIP tickets. I've been in the past and this was a fun venue but now it's meh being squished in their tiny lounge with 100 people. Plus no clear view of the space needle from inside.

Overall definitely has good drinks and a 10/10 view! I was surprised how good of a view it had when seeing how low the rooftop is. I would recommend going sooner rather than later in case new, taller buildings are built! Also, definitely less busy earlier in the day and less loud/packed. I would recommend getting an reservation because otherwise it's unlikely you're getting a table.

It's really a lounge to drink. The food is decent for drinking but nowhere near worth the price. Nothing there is worth what it cost. The space is small and beautiful inside. Kind of dark depending on where you sit. Our waiter was really sweet and attentive. I hate that they don't split bills for large parties. At least that's what we were told. I was at a birthday gathering and ppl who don't know each other trying to discuss money is a disaster. We also didn't get a good view because it was dark and it rained.
