Everything you want in a bar. The Octopus Bar (affectionately called "The Puss" among friends) is a new favorite and a great story. A Kickstarter fund enabled the owners (Liza is an gem) to create a dynamic, cozy, and engaging environment to get an after-work cocktail or a delicious snack to share among friends. The flatbread pizzas and salads are artisanal grade. This is not your usual pub food - they clearly take pride in ingredients (from Uli's quality sausage, to their house-made pitas, crisp veggies, down to their lip-smacking tzatziki). Further, you may not find a more engaging staff anywhere in town. Tucked right against The Guild theater, this is going to be hit for Summer and well beyond.
Trevor and Liza have a LGBTQIA community bar ๐ธ and restaurant that is all about love in this world ๐ Brother's and Sisters. There passion runs through every detail of the Octopus ๐ Bar. They give back to the Community on so many levels and I'm proud to tell everyone I know to visit the Octopus ๐ Bar and enjoy the chillaxing vibes there. Keep doing what your doing into the future ๐ ๐บ๐๐ฟ๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐ค๐๐ซ๐ฏ๐ฅ๐พ๐ป๐คPeace Farmer Daddy J
Iโm not sure what I enjoyed more, the ambience, the decor, the delicious food, or the refreshing drinks? The entire experience was phenomenal but the detail that brought everything home was the fantastic service delivered by my bartender, Tommie. He was delightfully friendly and perfectly tied the bow on an all-around excellent experience. I have a feeling I will be coming back regularly because everything about The Octopuss bar made me fee like I was at home ๐ฅฐ
What an absolute vibe! It's fun. It's cute. Lavender cocktails forever. My only regret is that my favorite bartender lives in Seattle (and I don't).
Had such a blast here, felt so cared for, and got some truly incredible recommendations from Alyssa on local places to scope on my visit. 10/10 recommend to anyone visiting Seattle and will absolutely be back!
The Octopus Bar has been my "home away from home" since the day it opened. It embodies what a bar is supposed to bring to a city--hospitality, culture, community, atmosphere, music, art, philanthropy, mirth, and merriment.
The creators and owners have always been phenomenal humans that care about the culture and the community, and they take a great deal of pride in their establishment.
Entertainment includes awesome bartenders, some of the best DJs in the city, karaoke, games & trivia, live music, dance competitions, charity events, and much more.
The food is simple, delicious, and as genuine and unpretentious as the staff.
What bartender should you ask for? Tommie is the veteran there--awesome human.
Whether you go out every night or just on occasion--this should be one of your top destinations.
Was in town visiting and this was by far the BEST bar I stopped at. From the staff to the drinks, everything was amazing. Super cool spot. Highly recommend.
Fun spot! The nautical theme is perfectly executed, and the quirky photo booths and vending machines add to the party atmosphere. The cocktail list is something worth exploring, and the beers on tap are mostly local and top notch. The bar tender was very friendly and made a great drink for us!
An unforgettable experience. I came by on a night where they had 2 drag performers come out and they were amazing! The food here is incredible seriously Iโve been craving their fries since I left lol. Iโll have to come back again. The atmosphere is great and the owner was so nice he greeted my friends and I at the door!! The decor was fun and unique, they even have a fish-tank! I will 100% be returning every time iโm in the area.
Love the ambience. Happy hour drinks are affordable. Food is plain. They have different activities every day in a week.
I was recommended to check this bar out by a friend, I stopped by last night for a drink. Super lively atmosphere! Didnโt play trivia myself but everyone was super into it. Perfect vibe I was looking for and had great drinks. Planning on coming back next week! New go to bar!
Weโve been here a few times and itโs always been a great experience. The atmosphere and vibe is fun, there are cool drinks, great specials, and really good bar food. Tonight Alyssa was one of our bartenders and she was super friendly and fun. She even helped experiment and make a couple new drinks for us and was really nice and approachable every time she came by, weโll definitely be back again!
Love the staff at the Octopus Bar, always attentive & friendly on top of fast service. Tommie and Lowden hold it down, always hustling to get you quality drinks, and keep a smile on your face along the way. The Octopus crowds are friendly and diverse across all metrics, resulting in a welcoming atmosphere for all. Music can be a bit loud, so if you're looking for a venue to catch up with an old friend or an intimate conversation, save Octopus for later in the night.
Great place to chill. I just wish the karaoke KJ would consider skipping people who already sang on busy nights. Thatโs how itโs worked at other places Iโve sang at. I expect to wait longer than usual at octopus lounge.
This bar is dope. Bartender Tommie always comes with the good vibes and good drinks. Friendliest and most professional of all who work there for sure. Do yourself a favor and stop in sometime if you debating. Fridays are good vibes ๐.
A bar theme executed in the most authentic way! And as an added bonus the genuine staff matches the vibe. Tommie is one of the bartenders that makes customers feel heard and has always made octopus feel like home. Even for my pup. Thank you to all the staff that have become true friends there and make life a little more fun livinโ <3
The staff here are great, especially Peter who consistently reminds me that itโs a beautiful day in the great state of Washington at the door. I really appreciate how friendly the staff are to each other and to the regulars. Also, there are cute dogs sometimes and that makes everything better.
I have been going to The octopus for the karaoke on Sundays and Mondays now for about year. The singing is great and the staff are all friendly and attentive. I'm excited to see that they have added trivia to their Monday nights. Elic runs a great contest. I'm going to start coming early on Mondays for the trivia and stay late for the karaoke!
This is an awesome bar with great drinks and food. Definitely try to hit up their happy hour between 4:30 and 6:30 EVERYDAY. If you can't make it, don't despair. The drinks and grub are still available at a good price.
