"Sitting down at the Swedish Club is like intruding on an elite secret society. Enjoy a fantastic Swedish meal from a chef that both takes and makes your order, and soak in serene views of Lake Union amidst a crowd of senior citizen regulars." - MINT

"The Swedish Club, which was formed in 1892 to promote a stronger relationship between the United States and Scandinavian countries. It still stands today, in downtown Seattle, hosting events like pancake breakfasts and Swedish language lessons."

The Swedish Club is a hidden gem in Seattle! We recently held our company holiday party here and were blown away by the experience. The panoramic views of Lake Union and the Seattle skyline are absolutely stunning, especially in the evening. The food was delicious, featuring authentic Nordic cuisine that impressed our whole team. The staff provided friendly, attentive service that made everyone feel welcome. Whether you're planning an event or just looking for a unique dining experience with incredible views, the Swedish Club is a must-visit spot. The venue perfectly balances its role as a cultural center with modern amenities, making it an ideal location for special occasions.

This is a review of the Sunday brunch, not the special events venue. First off, the staff were friendly, courteous and helpful, if also inattentive at times. The overall vibe of the restaurant is like visiting the cafeteria at your grandparents' senior living home, however with a better view. Dated, sparse and uninteresting furnishings and decor in an aging 60s building. The food was... not good. Comparable to the free breakfast buffet at the Holiday Inn Express, at best.

We were invited as guests of members to enjoy a Friday evening dinner and music. The food was delicious, and the views of Lake Union and downtown Seattle were amazing. We had a great time!

We love the Swedish Club!! We've been here from time to time for Friday night dinners, special events and particularly their Scandinavian Holiday Bazaar. We haven't done language lessons or dance classes yet but my kid is interested so we'll probably be trying those things out soon. This week, for the first time, we tried their "light dinner" on a Wednesday and it was fabulous. It's set in the bar, so be aware that you'll need to go to the dining room or balcony if you bring a kid (whoops!). That said, I've never had such delicious stew. And their bar is reasonably priced and gorgeous on sunny Seattle days! It's absolutely a hidden gem, and I'm so glad we found it!

It was nice meeting people and the food was good; I just wish the servers gave me more ligenberry like they did the people before AND after me. Maybe it's just that they didn't know me and I just wasn't in the "clique". Music was awesome. Thank you for this experience.

The view from the bar is amazing and so was the service from jeremy tending bar. Hands down he made the best old fashioned I've ever had. Highly recommend anyone check it out.

I have been meeting at the Swedish Club once a month for the past 2 years with my networking group, which is between 30-50 people, and it's been a perfect venue. There's a great view of Lake Union and plenty of parking in their two parking lots, and they've done a great job of accommodating our group. I'd you are looking for a venue for a party or offside work meeting, I would recommend checking out one of their many rooms!
