Classic cocktails in a hip, modern setting. If someone else is taking you out for drinks, and they really want to treat you, this is the time for Vessel. Break out the sexy shoes and big cocktail rings because this place deserves a crowd that matches the caliber of the drinks and setting.

I'll be the first to admit this place definitely isn't for everyone. If a laid back neighborhood joint is more your style with friendly prices, steer clear. Vessel is all dressed up from the super modern decor to the gorgeously fashioned $14 cocktails. Egg whites, bitters and fresh squeezed citruses mingle with rare liquors and bring back to life the classic cocktails of the prohibition.

Some could describe Vessel as pretentious and cold, but for those who are looking for a hip night out for expensive, yet expertly crafted drinks, you won't find a better match,

Classic!. The bartender not only knew about the different cocktails but knew about the history behind the cocktails and their ingredients.

new vibe. I have been in to vessel several times. I have always been pleased with their knowledge of classic cocktails and talent of creating new ones. For a bar their food selection is pretty damn tasty as well. Recently I came in after a few month hiatus to be pleasantly surprised.New wait staff seems to be more knowledgeable about drinks with a bit more class and kindness. A couple new faces behind the bar proved to fit the standard or excellence. While I do hear they can be snobby I have only noticed staff wanting to serve cocktails the way they are intended. Surly a bar for people who understand a great cocktail and not for those who want quick drinks to get drunk.

Best Quality Innovative Drinks In Seattle. I have been to Vessel numerous times as well as many of the finest bars around the world including NYC...Europe, Asia etc. I seek out the great bars in my travels and I am here to tell you that VESSEL is the real thing and a GREAT BAR! (Sambar in Seatlte is another great bar.) The menu stays unique and evolving with the seasons. The bar tenders arer STELLAR and the drinks superb. It is a must try.They do not use any cheap ingredients soyou get what you pay for : Quality and unique drinks. A wonderful happy hour! As for food it is good but not as remarkable as the drinks.....but stil the food is better than most bars.

the best bar food is at Quinns...but then Quinn's is really a restaurant and Vessel 's drinks are way better. If you want The BEST drinks in Seattle with good food this is the place. Save yourself an airfare and go to Vessel for some of the most innovative drinks anywhere.
