In Short – This multilevel lounge has an overarching Pacific Northwest decorating scheme--logs protrude from the center of the rectangular bar and the upstairs sports lounge features polished tree-stump tables along with plush leather chairs. Cozy booths in back are accentuated by trendy wire chandeliers glowing amber. The multipage cocktail menu includes drinks such as the Blood Orange martini, mandarin vodka mixed with crushed blood oranges and lemon-lime soda, garnished with an orange sugar rim.

I liked it as Axis better
by huntinwabbit
The good part is at least there is a hotdog vendor within a block or two of this place. Hooray for that! This place is a bit of a meat market at times. It's too busy at times with limited seating. I may have outgrown this place but I remember when it was Axis and although there was limited room, I liked it better. Sure this place is nice to look at so you're not in the ghe tto as far as decor but sometimes it feels as if you could get mugged outside. I'd rather go to Seesound Lounge around the corner, but I don't go out often. At. All. Definitely don't try to throw a party here... unless it's a pity party of one.
- Pros: Easy to pop in and leave to go elsewhere if you must
- Cons: Too busy, pretentious crowd

Belltown Upscale turns SCARY Gangster.
by sharonrose123
I was there last weekend after not going for a couple of months, not good. Lets just say the crowd has totally changed and I felt slightly afraid for my life. Amber was a fancy and fun bar. Id meet up with the girls quite frequently there. But now I don't think I will be going back. The place has always been a good spot to meet guys, now its a good spot to get grabbed and violated! So sad! I hope they can turn it around... time to tighten up security or something
- Pros: it was a good bachelorette place, or place to meet up
- Cons: a thug gangster hangout and I feel like I coulda got shot

One of the classiest places in Belltown!
by getfuzzygurl
Went here for happy hour with a few girlfriends and had a great experience! I've been here twice now and have had a positive experience every time! Great ambiance, good service and wonderful drinks and food. The bartender was very attentive and kept the good drinks flowing.
As some other reviewers have said, the bouncers were a little rigid and provided a little less-than-friendly welcome, but they ARE bouncers who are responsible for working with tons of people and maintaining security so I don't ever expect to become best friends with them, nor will I let an experience with a bouncer ruin my evening or opinion of such a great establishment.
I would highly recommend this place if you're headed to Belltown and want good drinks and music without being accosted by gross men. This place is about as classy as you get in Belltown.
- Pros: Great bartenders, good happy hour food
- Cons: Parking in Belltown is always bad
