Fog Room

The atmosphere was excellent, and the cocktail menu was very unique. The views are great with a fire pit on one of the verandas. The service was very slow but the waiter apologized stating that they were in the middle of training new staff while I was there (completely understand). I liked the food. I'd definitely go back and try something different next time. You can expect to pay between $18-$28 for a cocktail, which is about standard for this area and home (NYC area).

My Dad and I stopped in for a nightcap on our final night in Seattle to take in the views of the sound and enjoy a whisky cocktail. The bartenders here are great! Every time I stay at the hotel, the drinks at the Fog Room keep getting better and better. Between the straight-forward, well-crafted drinks and the views, you really can't ask for more than what the Fog Room gives. Cheers!

Never been to a rooftop bar before. This place was my first one. Very nice view. Atmosphere, especially with the seating was really decent. Went there for St. Patrick's Day. Tried the wings, tried both types of cheesecake and then ordered drinks. Wings were a little skinny but they tasted pretty good. I had the hot honey. Drinks were very well made. Bartender who served us was really good. You can go outside and get a view of the city from up there. They even have a fireplace. Sadly it decided to rain on us so we didn't really get to experience it. But all in all it was a really good place. I'd recommend it

Went early in the day so we got a table no problem… Great views and always enjoy a roof rooftop. My cocktail was a bit too sweet for me, so I just got a gin and tonic for the second go round. one of the individuals I was with got an old fashioned which he enjoyed.

Nice place with a view. Minimal beer selections but extensive cocktail list. Beautiful patio but we went on a super windy day so we enjoyed our drinks inside. Surprised to charged for a soda water.

Fog room is one of my favorite bars in Seattle - great vibes, craft cocktails, under rated food. Cass is the best and goes above and beyond to make it a memorable experience. The Ube cheesecake needs to be year round, and the wings are awesome.

Amazing views and perfect place for dinner, dessert, or just drinks. Highly recommend near sunset and staying to watch the city lights. The ube cheesecake was divine!

I recently visited Fog Room in Seattle, and it was an outstanding experience. The rooftop lounge offers stunning views of the city, perfect for unwinding. I tried the fried chicken sliders on pretzel buns, which were crispy and perfectly cooked, with fresh pickles and a tasty sauce. The drinks were beautifully presented and delicious, featuring unique flavors. The ambiance is chic and modern, with prompt and attentive service. Overall, Fog Room is a fantastic spot for a night out in Seattle, combining excellent food, creative drinks, and breathtaking views. Highly recommended!

We loved our experience at the FOG room! Reservation are a must we tried to stop by Saturday night three hours before closing and they had back to back seatings so we waited until our Sunday reservation. We had seven people. Everything came out beautifully! We had Chicken sliders - these were good Beef sliders yummy Poke tostadas - table favorite Salmon dip - I didn't like this dip was too fishy. But everyone else seemed to love it Cheese board - large variety of meats and olives, Jam cheese and crackers

Fog Room is located on the 16th floor of the Charter Hotel, and it has such a cool vibe with some of the best views of the city! I'd highly recommend for date night after dinner if you're looking to keep a good time going. Fortunately, my partner and I stayed at the Charter and through AMEX, we had a $100 credit per night, which we could redeem at Fog Room. I booked a 9:30 reservation through Resy, and the experience was seamless from start to finish! We were greeted, ID-ed, and seated at a high top table for two close by the bar area, which had amazing views of the city. Service was quick, and we were told upfront to save room for the complimentary birthday dessert. I appreciated their attention to detail, especially since the purpose of our trip was to celebrate the occasion. We ordered the half dozen raw oysters, chicken wings, and two cocktails. While we waited, we took pictures outside on the patio and by the time we were done, our food was waiting for us at the table. The oysters were so fresh and flavorful, and I received more than six since they were on the smaller size. For dessert, I had the option of either the carrot cake or Ube cheesecake. The cheesecake was delicious and one of my favorite bites from our weekend getaway! Thank you, Fog Room, for making my birthday celebration so special.

Had a late-night drink date with my hubby here, and it was perfect. We didn't make a reservation but managed to snag a table outside. The servers were all super nice, and the city view from our table gave off that quintessential "I'm in Seattle" vibe. I ordered an Old Fashioned--and ended up having three. The first one was great, but I noticed the taste varied slightly with each round, which I learned was due to different bartenders. As someone who orders Old Fashioneds often, I can say they know what they're doing here. I'll definitely be back for a quick drink date and some relaxed chit-chat.

Great ambiance for a quaint rooftop bar, and cocktails/wine were yummy. Pretzel was delicious and hit the spot as well. Clean bathrooms. Service was solid, we only stopped in here for a nightcap but would definitely come back and order more food at another time.

Service: staff was friendly, attentive and knowledgeable of what to recommend. Food/drinks: we didn't eat anything but the drinks are amazing!!! Ambiance: very modern decor. You have a decent view of the city, it does get pretty loud, it seem like this is a go to for birthdays and also to pre drink prior going to a different bar. No dress code.

Amazing view and drinks. Definitely a repeat. This came as a recommendation and it definitely wasn't wrong.

I loved our time here. It's not the prettiest view possible since the Emerald Condos, the Viktoria Apts, and a bunch of other apartments obstruct some of the water views. Still, there is a sliver of Elliott Bay and the surrounding downtown scene, you get to see from pretty much any angle throughout this rooftop area. There are two areas: the outside patio (a bit on the louder side) and the inside "fog room," which is quieter and warmer. The service was really good overall, and our server was amazing! At first, the service was spotty since we had to wait a few moments to sit down somewhere, but it was so good overall. We were constantly being checked on to see if we needed anything, and the server was kind enough to provide and attempt to explain the huuuuge Mezcal list to one of my friends, who is very picky about his Mezcal. Our whole group was obsessed with the holiday shooter option, which was so good highly recommend, they do great drinks here overall. We also enjoyed a round of oysters, which my friends loved, especially since we get fresh fresh oysters out here compared to LA. Overall, the vibe was louder and more fun outside, but we noticed a lot of the solo folks were inside at the bar, and the bigger, louder parties were outside, with dates happening and sprinkled throughout. Highly recommend this place if you're in the area and are looking for more low-key rooftop energy.

Came for valentines and was super cute! They had a specialized menu, and the drinks were good. We made a reservation in advance and were sat quickly.

Came here for my friend's birthday and to grab drinks with a view. It was raining out so unfortunately didn't get to have the full experience however I still enjoyed it overall. Definitely more of a lounge vibe. Overall good drinks and great service. Expect to pay like $20+ for a cocktail ofc! I will definitely be returning in the summer!

Excellent rooftop bar and restaurant a few blocks off the water front. Indoor and outdoor seating with partial water views and great skyline of the surrounding buildings. There is a communal fire put table great for convos, apps and drinks. The salad was huge!!!! The tuna poke crustados was the highlight with an espresso martini. Service was great and attentive, overall great experience!

Nice bar. Great experience. Friendly staff. Good place to take a date or have a night on the town with friends

Came on my birthday with a few friends. Food was good, drinks were good too. It's a nice little rooftop spot, kind of hidden away I think. The view is nice but not the most spectacular but the seating is setup nicely outside. Service was cool too.

Love this place it was amazing, beautiful view, and great cocktails. You must make a reservation. The staff is great and the service is impeccable.

Some friends and I came here after a birthday dinner for drinks. We didn't have reservations but were able to get in. The view is just okay as others have mentioned - this "rooftop" is only a few floors up and there's a building blocking the view. They do have nice seating on the patio though. I got a special summer berry drink that was very fruity , not very alcoholic, a little watery in my opinion. I would prefer a higher view but drinks weren't bad and would come back if other rooftops have a longer wait.

We were so lucky this bar was on the roof of our hotel. We were able to enjoy it three times on our trip. Wait staff is attentive and knowledgeable! Drinks are top shelf and they have a large list of options including many signature cocktails. And you CANNOT beat the view.

We tried Fog Room back in August, finally writing the review. We loved the ambience, the view is great (a couple buildings block some of the view), service was great. We got Citrus marinated olives, Fries, Lamb Meatball Skewers, Spot Prawn Croquettes. We loved the olives, fries, and Lamb meatball skewers. Spot Prawn Croquettes weren't a favorite, it was a little sweet for me. We loved the cocktails we got.

Spectacular view from both inside and outside areas. Not too crowdy on Saturday night. Good looking interior, huge bar menu. Overall we had a great experience. One of the few rooftop bars in Seattle, definitely worth to visit.

There's just something about this place. Maybe it's the wide open space, maybe it's the unique drinks maybe it's the stunning view. What is there not to love about seattle. One of the most fantastic cities I've ever been blessed to live in. This place is ideal for me because it's somewhat close to where I work. Great place to meet colleagues for a drink and a small bite to eat. Not to mention admiring the Seattle skyline.

A chill, upscale rooftop bar located inside the Charter Hotel -- it's a stone's throw from Pike Place Market if you're looking to plan a day in the Downtown and Belltown area. We were able to get a reservation for 10 for a friend's birthday, and were seated outdoors on their patio. I've been to a few rooftop bars in Seattle, and the view here is OK (depending on where you're sitting). We were there for sunset and the ambiance was super nice, but our view of the water was definitely blocked by a tall building. It's a bit on the pricier side, but that's to be expected for a rooftop anything. The service here is FANTASTIC -- our server asked everyone about their favorite spirits and made such thoughtful recommendations about what each person would like. Every single drink he recommended was a hit -- I got the Star and Shadow and loved the smokiness from the mezcal. It was great to sip on and overall felt like a nice place to lounge. Overall, the drinks here are really great (albeit a bit pricey) but you could probably find a better view elsewhere. They have really knowledgeable servers, and I would come back for a special occasion.

If you're looking for a place with a nice view, comfy seating, and an impressive selection of specialty cocktails and hard to find spirits, this is a good option. If you don't mind paying pretty exorbitant prices. Located at the top of the Hilton Charter hotel about two blocks from Pike Place Market, on the 16th floor, note that there is very limited seating on the balcony. Service was good, but note that the establishment adds a mandatory 20% service charge which they claim they keep 4% of and pass the rest on to the staff. If you're staying at the hotel, the entire amount of the bill including the service charge can be applied against the daily $25 per day resort fee, but that's about the cost of one specialty cocktail. These are prices I'd expect in NYC, not Seattle, where the mixologist created cocktails are life-changing. Were these drinks life-changing? No. It's a stretch to even call them memorable. You're paying for the slightly upscale ambiance and massive selection, and the view. If you feel that's worth the price, you'll probably be happy.

I recently visited Fog Room Seattle, and I must say, the combination of exceptional drinks and a breathtaking view made for an unforgettable experience. The carefully crafted beverages showcased a perfect blend of flavors, complemented by the stunning scenery. This establishment truly delivers on both taste and ambiance, making it a standout choice for anyone seeking a delightful evening.

Great date night place overlooking Seattle and the water! Terrific service and drinks. Worth it to enjoy a fun night out

We swung up to the Fog Room and it was great! The big doors were open and a beautiful breeze was flowing though. The service was great. We had a couple glasses of wine before the sun started to set. We decided to try the french fries, they were the perfect compliment to the wine and the views! Great wine, great food, great service, and amazing views of downtown!

Beautiful lounge with seating indoors as well as outdoors..with a view of downtown and the waterfront! I had not been here before, but coworkers were in town and stayed at the attached hotel recently. They insisted I come check out their swanky hotel lounge, so I obliged. I'm so glad I did! I had the rosemary fries (plenty to share!) My coworker had the Vietnamese style wings (and gave it a double thumbs up!) My other friend got the lamb skewers (just so-so with odd flavor to it). The drink menu was extensive and pleasing to everyone, albeit with high prices on cocktails. I will bring future visitors to town up here for sure!

Ambiance is nice. Service was a little slow but probably because of the holiday. No complaints.

The fog room is a swanky rooftop bar! The location is perfect. It offers a fantastic view. The old-fashioned were great, and the sliders hit the spot with their brioche bun and amazing flavor! They were out of wings 15 minutes after opening... this was disappointing, but the sliders were good. Watch out for the automatic 20% gratuity. They don't say it, but they circle it on the receipt.

Fist off , this place is beautiful. Fantastic view even on a very overcast night . Dimly light , candles various seating options . Just stunning . Host was fantastic, friendly, happy , lovely to talk to . Staff all very attentive, water always full , plates cleared fairly quickly as most tables are smaller and you really need the space . Extensive drink menu , as a former bartender and manager it almost made my head spin. The bar is very impressive. Food was just average . We started with a dozen oysters . Which came almost immediately just dropped on the table no explanation of what type or locale. They where not Shucked with care at all , full of tinny shell shards and meat not separated from the shell at all . We spent more time trying to pry the meat from the shell with tiny oyster forks making each one a shredded mess. Charter plater / charcuterie board was ok nothing stood out and nothing fancy. We ended with a pretzel and cheese opting for the additional Brat . The whole plate lacked flavour again just ok . The drinks however where fantastic I enjoyed the flying home , an amazing smoky tequila mezcal concoction . My partner had a Squeeze me which she thoroughly enjoyed staying it was very light and refreshing . All in all a lovely location definitely more of a cocktail lounge , but we will try again and perhaps take in some of the dinner items .

Pretty bar with a lovely view and great cocktails! We got espresso martinis and a charcuterie board which was fun. Total bill was $85 (keep an eye out for surcharges!) Even though the service was good and the view was pretty, it might just be a one time thing for me ‍

The drinks and environment is a 5, but the service is a 1 star. I've been here more than once, giving it a chance. Was helped several times by the same person and the "service" is so mediocre. There is an automatic 20% gratuity put on the bill so the servers do not try AT ALL. Hopefully this is something mgmt will correct because it is a nice place to visit in the downtown Seattle area.

We came for the ambiance, but stayed for both the ambiance and the drinks. The drinks here were very tasty - it's more than just a pretty view. The drinks did tend towards the sweet side as some reviews have noted, but not overly so and I tend to like that and order more drinks on that line. The menu does categorize them too if you prefer to avoid sweeter drinks. It's definitely pricier but you're paying a little more per drink for the view really. The service was good too. Depending on weather and time of year you'd probably want a reservation, but in March on a sunny Saturday evening, we had no problem with walking in for the patio. Inside was fully reserved though. The patio is covered but not enclosed and they do have a fire pit table and will bring big fluffy blankets if you're cold. I didn't mind it but I'm pretty cold resistant. It didn't feel super windy either which was nice. I'd definitely bring folks here to impress or return for a date night or special occasion.

Rooftop bar inside the Charter Hotel Hilton hotel Staff is pretty overwhelmed, and short staffed TBH Beautiful views of the city Lounge is simply gorgeous. However, food choices aren't always great. FYI, you can also use your hotel credit at this bar. IG: QueenOfAdventureNYC

I came for the view! I was able to reserve a table out on the balcony. Although I was alone, the staff was very warm and welcoming. I had the charcuterie board and the Fog Burger. Both were excellent!!

Reviews seem to be somewhat mixed among others so I suppose I should note that I have been here three times between 2019 and 2024, all of them early evening around the time they open, which may have made it easier for staff to provide service that is within the range of good/decent. My biggest reason for posting a Yelp review, which I do not often do, is both the price range and the "tip." Cocktails run in the $18-$20 range, which is high even by Seattle standards; the appetizers--which are all they really offer currently in terms of food--are roughly between $14 and $20 or so, some a bit more I think, which is relatively standard. I wish I could be fully confident on the food prices except that I did not take a photo of the menu, and the Fog Room website features several menus with countless items no longer offered, a real pet peeve of mine: how hard is it to update a website? Why do places constantly allow their websites to be woefully outdated for ages? Having rotating menu items within the same price range is one thing, but Fog Room's website has menus for full dishes of a sort they are not offering at all; it is only small plates, which you would never know from looking at the website. And then there's the "20% service charge" that gets put on every bill whether you like it or not: it's very helfpul to be armed with this information going in, as it nullifies any need to add a tip. We were informed that this charge gets put into a pool tip for staff, minus 4% that the hotel takes. My companion added another 4% tip to account for this, which was very noble of her, but my total bill as high enough as it was--one side dish, two cocktails: with tax and service charge, over $70. It could be argued that this is nuts. Except! And I really cannot stress this enough. The cocktails were as delicious as they were beautifully presented (I had two mai tais). And the food was genuinely incredible (my companion and I split the bavarian pretzel and the mushroom quesadilla). Between all this and the spectacular city and Elliott Bay views from this 16th-floor rooftop bar, as well as the interior ambience that was lovely in its own right (if a bit loud once all the tables fill up), I have to admit--this was actually worth both the price and the inconvenience. I just need to find a way to remind myself to expect the high expense and the "service fee" the next time I come back, and to budget accordingly.

Solid place to dine when staying at The Charter Hotel Seattle. I brought a glass of wine in from my room and the staff didn't mind at all. I saw the $20 Fog Burger (Smoked Cheddar| Red Onion| Tomato Jam| Bread and Butter Pickle) on the menu and I'm always keen to see just how mind blowing a $20 burger can actually be at a restaurant. It wasn't to my liking - it was two patties? I'd rather have one thick patty than two patties! I wouldn't order it again ; sorry dawg......it's a NO for me.......... I tried to salvage my meal w/ the Smoked Steelhead Pate $14 (Rainbow Radish| Honey Rye Bread). It was a bit dry, but great presentation and flavor. Lastly, I ordered the Last Harvest Salad $14 (Ricotta| Nasturtium| Preserved Tomato| Olives). It was a great salad - fresh ingredients, good flavor, hit the spot. All things considered, the service was excellent (mandatory 20% service charge -- welcome to Seattle). Food came out quickly and super laid back vibe. Great option if you're staying at the hotel and don't feel like going out. I didn't explore the cocktail menu but it looked all time. Decent crowd, nice volume level - and super nice view.

This is one of many rooftop bars in Seattle, and it is a great place for a date night out or just socializing with friends. We made reservations to be safe, but later at night on a weekday, it was not too busy. We were a party of 2 and got to lounge in a spacious set of sofas. We tried the Pharaoh's Dance (egg white based, somewhat average for $18), Squeeze Me (more fruit forward than alcohol focused), and Bebop (a combination of fruity and smoky). Honestly, the cocktails are just alright, nothing too special or standout that I would have expected paying this price point. I guess they charge more for rooftop bar setting, but the views are just okay - there are many apartment rooftops with superior views and this seems to cater more for tourists that normally likely won't know people in the area that can enter those apartment rooftops. This bar is quite loud so it could be hard to maintain a good conversation, but the ambience is there. Service is quite mediocre as the waiter feels like rushing us as he shows the bill multiple times walking around as I talk, and what's worse is that they tack on a mandatory 20% service charge. I wouldn't go out of my way, but this is a good option in the downtown area, near Pike Place.

Nice play to go have a drink. The view can be good depending on where you choose to sit. We started on the balcony, the tables were very small not enough room to eat a meal. We then moved inside eating at a couch and table. We were spooked by the man who lives in the building across the way - he had a big Teddy Bear that he was carrying around with him. He seemed to be looking directly at us. When I say is I mean all four of us females. Recommend reservations. We loved the burgers that we ate. We were feeling great when we left despite the bill which was high. Worth a try. View is subpar with a building smack dab in the middle of the FOG rooms view.

I'm from Los Angeles and the bar scene is like any other. View isn't optimal, but you can still see decent night life from the high floor vantage point. Menu changes after 10pm to a very limited lounge food menu. Service was decent, prompt with frequent checks for more drinks, last call, and kitchen closing. This place was chosen because my flight arrived in Seattle at night and not much food restaurants are still open (10:00pm or after) in the area.

The Fog Room has some serious cocktails and views which makes it popular with visitors and locals alike. There are no signs for the place as it's inside the Charter Hotel, but once you arrive, you enter a large spacious room with some great views and peeks of the Sound. The bar is surprisingly well-stocked for a bar at a Hilton property (3 types of genever!). And the bartenders there were solid. Loved the classic cocktails choices on the menu, and I had some fun adding some more obscure liquor like Oka Kura Sake Vermouth into a Vesper. The place fills up quickly so it's a good idea to arrive early. Didn't have a chance to eat, but will definitely be back to try more drinks and food.

Kinda nice view....if you don't mind looking at buildings. I love the outdoor fireplace (although seating was booked, but it was a Saturday night) I asked for dinner menu, but bartender told me only small bites from the bar menu. I asked her about the full dinner menu displayed online and she said "that's outdated and we can't seem to get them to fix that". Disappointed. Inattentive service, was never asked for another drink (I wanted to order their Asahi draft beer) and I'm STILL waiting for bartender to cash me out, despite obviously displaying my credit card. Again, it's a Saturday night at 9pm, but not super busy...seats and tables open. Definitely come in the summer for a (obstructed) patio deck view. Was about to tip and sign my check when I looked under that paper and saw 20% service charge was automatically applied. Pretty shady of him to do so.

I met a few college friends here when I was visiting the area, and I was very disappointed in my experience at Fog Room. The service was terrible, did not even place a drink order for at least 30 minutes. The food was okay but extremely overpriced. The only good part about this place is the views. Do not waste your money here. Also, they put an automatic tip on the bill which I am normally okay with, but with terrible service I was very angry.

The fog room has great customer service and very friendly staff. The cozy ambience has a mix of indoor and rooftop seating options ...Do not come here with the hopes of having a top tier meal ... there are less than five main options to chose from complimented by several small plate/ snack options ... overall, the food is just okay ... the lobster roll is a HARD PASS... luckily, the bar has an extensive drink menu ... I'd say the Fog Room serves as a decent option to meet friends and have a great convo over a few drinks ... this would not serve as a primary choice for an elevated dining experience.

I had a terrible experience at the fog room. We came for the good views of a rooftop bar but were seated as far away from any "rooftop view" as possible. Before being seated we asked if we could sit outside and the hostess said there was only 1 seat available outside, but "the seats are wet" so we can't actually sit there. I'm not sure why they couldn't have dried them off before but we just chose to sit inside instead. They sat us in the farthest spot from a window as possible. We were disappointed since there were 4 couch spaces with a much better view, so I politely asked a waitress if we could sit in one of them instead. She said that there was a large party coming that would take that spot (they never actually showed up, and probably didn't even exist). Another couple left that was sitting next to the window so we decided to sit in their spot. The waitress came over and said we were only allowed to sit there for 15 minutes so we enjoyed our 15 minutes and then left. The drinks and ambience were mediocre. The seats were comfortable, but the music was too loud and unbearable. The drinks were overpriced. We thought the hostess, and waitress were extremely rude and profiled us because we are young and weren't dressed like we're made of money. If this place is too fancy for people to come after spending the day at a baseball game and then walking around downtown, there should be a stated dress code. We also got charged an automatic gratuity of 20% when there was no sign and no warning. I've never seen an automatic gratuity of 20% for 2 people anywhere before.

Super busy for a Thursday evening! Nonetheless we were seated quickly however the hostess had a bit of an attitude telling us we had to be "out" by 7:30 due to a private networking event which we had read the sign prior to entering the rooftop. We decided to just grab a quick drink and some fries. The garlic fries were OK personally I found there was tooo much seasoning on them as any time I would grab one the seasoning would just fall onto the table. When it came to the check we were hoping to split the fries evenly on our tabs but I guess they couldn't do that so I ended up putting them on mine since I had ordered a non-alch drink but was not aware of the 20% service charge I'd also have to pay along with it. My friend was just charged for her drink with no service charge or anything. Not to mention the service was very mid with little to no real interaction

Since we stayed here for the weekend and paid for a dumb non-refundable $25 resort fee, decided to head on up and check out their rooftop bar Fog Room on the 16th floor. I highly recommend making reservations on their website or walk in to sit at the bar. We were seated outside at a high top table facing the bay. They have a gorgeous view albeit some buildings blocking it. Nonetheless the sunset was spectacular! Amanda was our server and was super nice and friendly! Note: Be careful checking your receipt for double tipping since they automatically add a 20% service charge tip. Food: Fog Burger-so so good and perfectly made at medium, we'd order this again Charter Board-this charcuterie board was ok, some items I could do without such as removing blue cheese, purple carrots that stained my fingers, green beans and the rosemary cracker sheet Drinks: Squeeze Me-vodka, peach, guava strawberry tea very delicious and fruity

**make sure to check your receipt after using your card** Visited on 4/30/22 around 8:37 pm. The experience was okay. The views are blocked by tall buildings around. But it was the only roof top bar that was available on the weekend. Ordered a few drinks, and appetizers. A lot of appetizers weren't available on that day. Drinks were okay, fries were good, brussel sprouts were meh. I am giving one star, because this place is sketchy. They charged the wrong amount on the credit card first (over charged ~60 bucks). Asked the server to correct it. They processed another transaction and said the other one never went through, because they didn't "complete" the transaction. The credit card still shows 2 separate transactions. With another transaction, it was the correct amount on the receipt when i signed it, but the final amount was $10 more than what i signed for.They already adds a 20% service charge to your receipt so i didn't add additional tips. I am pretty sure someone forged my receipt and added tips to themselves. I am going to report this since this is not a mistake, but a fraud.

If you're trying to impress a first date or an out of town visitor, this is the place for you. Except it seems like that might be the only reason it'd be justifiable to come back. While the views here are amazing and the ambience is perfect for pretending to be Gatsby, the food and drinks were only mid quality and the prices were exorbitantly high. I came here last time with a friend who was staying at the hotel that this bar is located in, and he had a voucher to use here, so all our menu items were comped. We ordered like a strawberry rhubarb crisp with pink peppercorn ice cream, which was super unique but tasted about exactly how you'd imagine it. I'm not personally one to appreciate a spicy/sweet mixture, but if that's for you, then I can see someone like that really enjoying this flavor combination. We also ordered fries and oysters, neither of which were particularly impressive. The fries tasted like they were the frozen kind that had been reheated, which in itself isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it didn't line up with the expectations I had set for $8 fries. Like I mentioned above, the views were amazing. You get a perfect view of downtown Seattle, and the rooftop isn't too high where you can still feel like you're enveloped by the city. Coming in the evening, the city lights are beautiful to look out onto, and the indoor ambience matched as well. If you've ever been to Mr. Purple in NYC, the two bars kind of remind me of each other. I was lucky to be able to enjoy the food and drinks here with a voucher, but I wouldn't come back if I had to pay, and I can't say I'd necessarily recommend it to others.

The Fog Room is at the Charter Hotel and offers great views of Seattle. It is popular, so it pays to get reservations in advance. They have seating indoors and outdoors. Part of the outdoor seating include an area with a beautiful fire pit kind of built into the table. It was a cold night so we sat inside. Service was very good. They have food, but we had just had dinner and were just in the mood for cocktails. They are a little pricy, but worth it for the ambience, view, and quality. I had something called the Rocker, that including bourbon, brandy, absinthe and more. It was really wonderful and complex. I usually order Old Fashions and this was superior, just a really great drink. My friend had something called a Pharoah's Dance with gin and citrus. She loved it, this was really good also. We will definitely be back when the weather is nicer and want to try the food menu, but the drinks alone make this worth a visit.

We had the opportunity to check out the Fog Room on New Years Eve and it was awesome! What a fun space with incredible views of downtown Seattle and the water. They really outdid themselves with all of the decorations! We decided to use a credit we got with the hotel stay for being Hilton Diamond members on two drinks from the bar. We opted to sit outside where they have heaters and a fire pit table. It was a busy evening with several customers coming in as soon as they opened. But all of the staff were working hard and stayed attentive to our table.

This has such a warm and comfortable environment with a great view. It's a perfect place to meet with friends for cocktails. I loved the drink menu and the bartenders seem to take pride in the drinks they make. My absolute favorite item I had was the marinated olives. I personally think it's a must have when there. You get your own jar and they are super herby and delicious.
