Liberty

Nice little spot, cozy place with good music, fast and friendly service and a sushi chef that adds value to the pleasant atmosphere. We went for the first time last Saturday and I think that we will be returning soon.

Pros: ambience, sushi

Cons: the music should be little louder

I truly believe Liberty will be a great spot to just relax for many years to come. Andrew is especially attentive to the customers. The bartenders are awesome; with Justin being quite the Casanova! Sometimes the service is quite slow. Overall great place to bring a date or an out of town guest. My friend from Barbados thought it was nice. Thanks for being there in our walking neighborhood. My brother's pups like it too.

Back again to Liberty, I live out of Seattle, and found it to be as good or better than the other times I had been there. The food had improved in that there seemed to be more consistency to the portions. The vast array of drinks seemed to be almost unbelievable considering the size of the bar. How can you fault this little place at all. By yourself or with a friend it's the best bet in the neighborhood.

I'd heard rave reviews from my friends, so my girlfriend and I went there a week ago to check it out. I loved the atmosphere, which I would describe as a cross between comfortable and chic, and the cocktails were great, thanks to the freshly squeezed juices and the talented bartender. The sushi was better than most of the sushi I've had in Seattle, and reasonably priced as well. The only complaint I have is that my girlfriend told me that the bartender became a little too friendly towards her when I went across the street to buy a pack of cigarettes. I'm sure he was just being friendly and nothing more, but it did make her a little uncomfortable.

Pros: Food, drinks and atmosphere

The other reviews seem to come to the same conclusion that I got. A great neighborhood bar/cafe. When I feel like I need to get out of the house, this is the place I can go. The great black couches are perfect for reading a book or just having conversation. The staff is always friendly and the sushi is decent. The concept works!

There are three reasons to go to a bar/restaurant. 1) Because its good food and good drinks beg for your return. 2) Because the atmosphere is congenial and suits your needs. 3) Because if you want to be left to yourself to read or observe, you feel comfortable in doing so. If any one of these three reasons were not part of LIBERTY'S features it wouldnt have rated 5 stars.

Pros: Reasonable, high quality and friendly.

Cons: Can't think of any.

Liberty is not just any old bar, it's a true neighborhood bar. And the cocktails? Un-F'ing-believable. They actually use fresh squeezed juice, you know. Great sushi too.

Pros: Love the people, love the drinks.

Cons: Service can be slow

I first noticed Liberty on my semi-regular trips to Sonic Boom. A friend and I decided to get drink there one night and needless to say, I had a great time. Really, who can argue with free internet and alcohol? I can't and certainly won't. This is a great idea...and when you add sushi to this combination--genius.

Pros: happy hour, sushi, free internet

Cons: sometimes "yuppy" atmosphere

Seriously. Feed me quality liquor, great cocktails and good sushi and I will follow you to the ends of the earth. You don't need to go that far with Liberty already right here on Capitol Hill. I like the overall feel of the place. Friendly staff and folks there seem relaxed enough to talk with strangers, if you happen to go in alone. They're even serving Portland's super Stump Town coffee in the mornings. Oh.. and of course, free wifi!

Pros: Terrific cocktails, great liquor selection, Dynamite sushi.

My sister and I butt heads...Cap Hill or Queen Anne?! She beats me fair and square with Liberty. I have no problem driving up Denny Way to meet her there...I love sushi but I usually do sashimi or something of that variety. EIther way, they will accomodate you. I recommend sitting at the bar...it's quite interesting to listen to conversation around you. The specialty drinks are fantastic. If you're looking for a "Seattle scene" that is more easy-going and comfortable (with quite a variety of drinks and sushi/sashimi items)...you will love Liberty. This is the reason I drive to my sister's place and walk to 15th. Liberty is the place to be.

Pros: Neighborhood parking, personable service, decent prices
