New Owner no Food. went trying to get some grub, and the other places nearby were pretty packed, this place was dead, and they don't serve food.
What is this place?.
This place has a lot of potential ... BUT,
the bar staff seems a bit too "social". There were numerous times my group wanted to get drinks, but the bartender was outside smoking. When we would finally get our drinks, they were way too stiff. We were a group of girls and wanted to have a steady buzz all night but their stiff poor made it so we could only handle 1 drink each. I guess they are trying to be generous but they were actually gross. We were gonna order food, but there was no kitchen staff.
There happened to be a dj playing the night we were there and the music was great but the dance floor was sticky and slippery from drinks being spilled everywhere.
One other suggestion us girls have is to get some heaters... the place was super cold. We were all wearing dresses and felt like the only place to get warm was the 1 area next to the fireplace. But later on, those tables were taken (there was no other heat source), so we just decided to leave.
If there bartenders were more attentive and they just cleaned the place up a bit and maybe made it a little warmer, it would be one of Seattle's coolest bars. It has all the potential but lacking in those basic areas.…
Best hot spot in town!. Service was excellent, drinks and food even better. Happy hour menu was delish., a must try - the wings!!! My new favorite posh place to be, I will be back soon!
i simply adore Mikey. whenever i go here, i always want Mikey to be working. he's so sweet and an awesome bartender who makes this christmas drink for me and my friends whenever we go there (he lights rum on fire with sugared fruits) and its absolutely delish.. i like the 5 spice burger and the fries are spicy (yum)…
Disappointed.
I am a cocktail girl so when Kurrent opened, I had to head right over to check it out. The cocktail list sounded intruiging and I had the check out the ice bar. I had visions of it being uber cool
like the ice bar in stockholm but no luck. The ice bar is actually just a small strip of ice that goes down the top of the bar. Good concept so your drink stays cold. Not so good when they put your hot appetizers on said ice strip. The appetizers were awful.
The drinks were good. They are doing some very cool infusions, they make their own tonic, etc. However, the bartenders copped such an attitude and were so off-putting that I don't know how they have customers. My friends and I have been 3 times in hope of finding a bartender who would actually treat us like a wecome guest or at the very least take care of the basics like get us water, make us more drinks, etc.
Major disappointment…
