This is beautiful on the inside. Even the elevator was gorgeous. Now it is $14 per person to go up to the bar on the 35th floor, but you get great views of the city and really good drinks.

Great views from the bar upstairs! Very friendly staff and tasty food and drinks. Prices are a little steep, but a fun place to check out! Good stop if you have friends or family visiting from out of town.

Very cool observation desk. Quick opportunity to learn some history. The lounge at the top at the observation deck looked nice. The vies from the observation deck is stellar.

Perfect for a casual but still kinda romantic date or a girls night out. Their bento boxes serve as a good munchie

While visiting town I visited the Smith Tower. I waited 30 mins for the next table to be available. Security guys were polite and helpful. I paid $14 to go up to the 35th floor where the restaurant and the observatory deck are. Food is good, Drinks are fancy, tasty and very pricey. I ended up paying $60 for their “Chinese Room Soba Noodle” Salad and Two drinks, I guess you’re paying for the view and the Fancy drinks. The 360° view of Seattle is beautiful at Sunset!! You can stay up as long as you want, I did felt that I was being rushed to leave by my server, I was planning on having more drinks but she brought me my check as soon as I finished my noodles lol. It’s definitely of cool place to check out if you’re visiting Seattle, or just for a romantic date.

Great views all around, and much cheaper than the surrounding observation decks. Has a speakeasy style bar in the evening, but that was a little on the pretentious side.

Great date night! This was a fun place to go for city views and a drink. While exploring a historic landmark in our city. There is a short exhibit to walk through that provides some history on the building before taking the elevator up. It was busy at 8 pm on a Saturday, but we still didn’t have a problem finding a window seat. We spent just about an hour here, however you could easily double that by enjoying a meal. Recommend buying the Groupon. It’s about $20 for two people and that will save you about $10. Highly recommend doing this if you’re a local or tourist!

Super old tower that’s haunted but super beautiful ! Love the tour and I even had a meeting here couple times. They rent out the middle floors for business and they got a fun roof top with 360 views with drinks and food Asian culture vibes and beautiful old school decors

Better views than the Columbia tower. I absolutely loved the views of the Puget Sound from the bar and the balcony at the top. What I didnt expect was the self guided tour through the history of the building - mostly focused on the 20s. The bar has a great selection of drinks. Service was more on the casual side when we went, so make sure you have time to truly sit down and enjoy a drink if you plan on partaking in libations.

Very nice spot to look over the town. With a bar at the top. Nice view. Make sure its a clear day to see the best view. Sends you on a historical scavenger hunt!

Cool spot with some great views, especially at sunset. Grab a drink at the speakeasy up top and enjoy the view. The history and decor take you back to the 1920s and let you learn a bit more about the history of Seattle. No views of the space Needle from here but you still can see Mt Rainier.

The view up at the observatory is awesome. Its not too high up like the columbia observatory but high enough to enjoy the view. The building has so much character. The food at the bar is great too. Its a good place to chill with friends and family. If you are a Washington local, you will get great discount. Remember to bring your Washington id.

Beautiful historic building offers a self guided tour on the way up to the observation deck on the 35th floor. You can walk all the way around the building for a panoramic view of downtown at the end opposite of the Space Needle. The tour is good for kids: lots of old-time office equipment like switchboards they can get their hands on. The bar at the top has tasty craft cocktails and food.

Great little self guided tour. Love the style of the whole tower. So much history here.

Super cool hidden treasure of Seattle. Became a Rum Runner in 2019 and go here at least once a month now. Ask downstairs about Run Runners. So worth the money. Great bar, great food, awesome staff, and amazing views. Remember to tip the elevator operator!

Cool place to have a drink and get an awesome view of Seattle. Less crowded than the Space needle, and a much better deal. Be sure to check out the well preserved oriental ceiling tile work too.

Great visit to the top. The associate working was able to get us a spot up the elevator on short notice. Too many good cocktails and great service. View was outstanding.

Ive always loved Smith Tower, and the fact that they have a phenomenal observation deck experience complete with comprehensive museum exhibit is amazing.The experience is streamlined, historically informative and even worth it to get a membership as a local in WA state.The service is top tier, and the food is excellent. While the portions arent phenomenally generous, they have excellent food and a myriad of unique and high class cocktails to choose from.The venue caters to dressing up for a fancy evening, or having a more casual but classy meet up with friends and associates. I personally will always take my business friends from out of town out to the Smith Tower.Their precautions with COVID have been solid, and I have no doubt their staff has been operating in the upmost professional manner regarding taking the pandemic seriously.

Very beautiful views from this vantage point. You get to see the architecture and how the building used to be ran. You funny have to do the interactive part but you can enjoy the history of the site. I highly recommend if in Seattle.

I did the historical self-guided mystery tour and it was a lot of fun! The elevator ride was great, the elevator operator was full of little historical tidbits and you can tell he really enjoyed his job! It was nice to be able to walk around outside and see all the city lights at night up on top of the tower

This place was filled with amazing history stories, historical artifacts from the roaring 20s, a cool old fashion elevator and an awesome rooftop experience. You get to walk around the whole tower outside - literally 360 views , protected of course with birdcage like bars. They also has a decent happy hour and fancy hot teas. We personally really liked the free photobooth that we then got to email the photos to ourselves to then post on social!

Really nice view point

I have visited this place once a decade, its the best its ever been. I would pay an extra $20 to tour the living area upstairs, and an extra $10 to go in the bubble. Spend some extra time to explore the building. They dont use quality materials like this anymore. Rest, relax, and enjoy the view from the cafe. Bring a real camera. This is a super adventure after you take the underground tour.

This was a great experience for me. I did it myself so no guided tour but was able to take my time and go through all of the history of the building. Was able to do it once during the day and once at night to get amazing views

A must! Service at the top is perfection. (shoutout to Adam!)Just do it -you wont regret it if you like a view and a drink. Entry $10 between 4-6pm. Screen printed T’s $15 Includes: the marble, the brass & the roaring 20’s.Happy hour $9. It is just a must and plus the atmosphere is amazing.

Great historic building. Lots of information and beautiful views. If you make the sunset over the Olympic mountains is a sight!

This place was definitely something I am glad I got to experience. The view was amazing, the hallway to the elevator was fun little history lesson about different people, all and all its something I would encourage people to do at least once. Bring a camera.

I love the view. The staff is very nice.

Was a fun experience, the cocktails were good, the pot stickers were okay

Be ready to travel back in time and enjoy a fancy drink in this stylish rooftop bar. The view is stunning - especially at sunset! Its also possible to take a 360° walk on the little patio outside the bar.

Great building. Its updated but seems original but well maintained in a lot of aspects of the building. Great views of the sound, security at the entrance is always friendly.

I always have a great time at Smith Tower. I joined as a member and can go with a visitor as my guest any time I wish. They have WiFi so you can somewhat work from the tower and enjoy the views.They have their lookout open during the summer, so definitely come by. They also have Happy Hour drinks and deals for their Rum Runner (and other tiered) members. The cocktails are creative and flavorful.Well definitely be back! Love being members here!

Tour is reasonably priced and provides an outstanding view to the south, east and west for some distance. Looking north directly into downtown. Before entering the elevator there is a short self guided tour of the towers history. At the observation level there is a restaurant bar along with the observation deck. The restaurant is decorated in an turn of the century Chinese style. The interior of the building entry area on the first floor is beautifully decorated in brass, onyx and granite

Awesome views from the 35th floor. Happy hour specials on drinks, appetizers, and elevator ride up. They do offer Veteran and locals discount prices with ID.

Great place to visit to catch in the beautiful views of Seattle. Being a new resident, it was a breathtaking experience. Our tickets were affordable and easy to get. Personally cant wait to visit again and enjoy the experience again

Sad I did not come up here a long time ago. Everything from the elevator ride up to the bar to the views are like nothing else Seattle has to offer. Perfect view of the space needle amongst everything else from this view.

Just a great little visit. The workers there are super nice and the view is beautiful. Didnt get the chance to taste some of the food but their lemonade was bomb! For people over 21, their bar seems really freaking good. Perfect place for a romantic dinner :) just wish there was a little bit more to do but the historical aspects and the architecture is gorgeous.

The views are spectacular! The food and drinks are very delicious (a little pricey, but worth it), and the wait staff is very friendly.

Cool place to see some history of Settle. Great views of the city. The staff wasnt very friendly.

Paid a nice chunk of change to access the observatory when we just wanted to go eat at the restaurant. 3 locals paid $44 when on the website it says $14 per person but I never realized it until it was too late The restaurant and the observatory are on the same level. And it seemed like you have to go through the restaurant to get to the observation deck. So paying to get access to restaurant is BS. The observation deck is caged with white bars that makes taking pictures and even viewing just terrible. The menu is limited with food tasting average. Service was excellent, fast and friendly. Its a nice place to check out but why would I come again with my out of town guests when the alternative is more reasonable and still attractive.

I didnt spend much time at Smith tower. I know that the security is polite and helpful.

Beautiful views of the city from the observation deck of the Smith Tower. One can walk around the outside of the top floor , but dont worry, there are bars to keep you safe. Those interested in history will enjoy all the old pictures and tidbits scattered throughout the building. There is a bar in the observation deck area and I believe they serve food as well.

It has a nice observatory at the top level and its currently open to the public (7/24/2020).

Smith Tower is gorgeous!! The onyx is lovely and upon entering the staff was there to answer questions. This building has a lot of charm and feels very roaring 20s. For $15 you can go up to the observation deck/bar. The history and architecture are worth stopping to see!

Quite a view from the observation floor. They also have good food and a full bar where they can make you all kinds of vintage and modern alcoholic beverages.Whether youre a tourist or a native, the Smith Tower is a fun place to grab a drink after work.

Great experience not only for out of town visitors, but it is an appealing option for Seattleleites to go have a drink and relax with excellent city views and tasty artesan drinks and quick bites for the hungry, good place to socialize.

Loved this place. It was a great experience , the staff was fun. The restaurant is also amazing, loved the staff they were so wonderful!

I quite dont remember but it was all right

I think that Smith Tower is an absolute must visit for anyone going to Seattle. It wasnt crowded at all and the views it offered were quite wonderful. After walking around the observation deck, we were able to enjoy a glass of wine which was such a lovely way to top off the evening.

Great views of Seattle at a reasonable price. The bar at the top is a great place to have a drink and take in the view. Live the architecture and history.

A must do. Fun place to get high (up). One of a kind bar.

Views, food and drinks are wonderful. I recommend going at sunset. It will take your breath away.

Really cool and fun place for friends.

I would recommend to watch the nght view or even the day view here instead in the Space shuttle. The price is cheaper than the Shuttle, plus you get to experience to ride the old fashioned elevators and free picture.

One of the things I enjoyed most during my Seattle visit! The tour is super cute and informational but the building itself is worth the price of admission - stunning Art Deco style and amazing views.Plan on having a cocktail or two at the top - just spectacular!

Nice view of the city. Lovely building. After taking the beautiful antique elevator up 30+ floors, get ready to climb up the last 2 flights of stairs to get to the observation deck. There’s a bar up there to quench your thirst, if necessary. ( :

The $20.00 admission fee kept us from taking the elevator ride up- even the walking floor level exhibit was off limits without admission. Reading the signage and historical plate will have to suffice. The building is well preserved and close to Pioneer Square.

Amazing views and delicious drinks! Pretty expensive but its worth it for the experience. You are able to go outside and have 360 degree view of Seattle!

This is a great building with history, character, and AMAZING views! I was able to see the Olympic Peninsula, Mt. Rainier, Cascades, the Space Needle, and many other amazing buildings and places. There is also a restaurant at the top of the tower. There you can enjoy a wonderful view eating delicious food. Not only that, but you are sitting in a building from the early 1900s. I almost forgot to mention how incredibly friendly, kind, and welcoming all of the staff are! I would definitely recommend Smith Tower as a place to visit on your Bucket List. Check it out because it will definitely be worth your while.

Great stop that has a wonderful view. I really enjoyed the storytelling of the past and the present. I missed seeing the mountain on the rainy day, but the view is still great.

SHAWN ODONNELL PUB GOOD FOOD YEAH

I am hesitant to talk aboit this place because I feel like it was one of the coolest spots during our visit but it was not over crowded! This was talked about after our Underground Tour and it did not disappoint. The views were stunning. The bar on the observation floor was top notch.

Great bar, fantastic employees, decent food, amazing view. Dont go!!! I dont want my gem getting blown out.

This is a must see for both locals and tourists alike. Fabulous early twentieth century marble, wood and brass architecture including the awesome elevators complete with operator. Nice little museum like displays on the lower floors. The viewing deck is spectacular and the food is good. Around $10+ a plate and drinks start around $8. Fun Seattle history spot.

What an amazing place! We attended a wedding here, and it was spectacular! Great food, beautiful views of the entire city. Well be back!

Restored very well, very enjoyable experience. Great views of the city and a nice bar to enjoy some cocktails while you watch the sun and clouds move on through. The Needle is great but this is where the locals go, dont miss out.

This building secretly owned by an individual but listed as a corporate entity professionally managed by a top-notch real estate management company professional team.Terra-cotta exterior could never be replaced.Lobby made of exquisite materials such as stone and copper and terra-cotta.Chinese room can be reserved for private events very cool bar

Worth going to! Views, then go inside for a drink while watching the city lights come on. Take advantage of Happy Hour prices, & get to see the view in daylight and darkness.

Wonderful cocktails in a great location.

Price is cheaper than the space Needle and views are just as good (and you can have the space Needle in your photos). Cute speak easy type bar at the top with food. Service at the restaurant/bar was not great, but food and drinks were good so all in all a good experience. If service had been better I would have given it 5 stars.

I loved this building. Its like a time machine. Its so beautiful and even the workers uniform is adorable. I went during happy hour which is from 4pm-6pm and tickets were only $8. Go! You wont regret it.

Interesting, but a little boring walking through the exhibit downstairs. The evevator operator was funny and a little weird. Be ready for some bad jokes. Must go up to the bar, checkout the view and have a specialty drink to get the full experience. You can get a free picture taken up there (sent to your personal email address).

Great place. They even offer gluten free vegan options!

Great value, incredible history, very intriguing, engaging, and fun! Would visit again for a beautiful lunch view.

Been wanting to visit for years and the venue and service and food selections and views were exactly as promised! Cant wait to return

Enjoyed the view and the happy hour and the ambiance! Great Seattle destination.

Excellent view, would make a wonderful place for a date!

Was once the best view in the city, but recent construction has obscured the view of the space needle on the horizon.Food is mediocre (except the deviled eggs which are the best).Drinks are classy, with a great sazerac.Elevator attendants vary, but if you get the right guy then you’ll get what seems like a whole history class within 90 seconds, including at least a few laughs along the way. New facts every time I visit!Touring the historical museum is very interesting - if you have any interest in WWII era, ask the staff about veteran signatures above the observation deck.We love it so much we got married in the elevator on our way to the bar one afternoon and it was perfect.

Love the view and the staff is very good. The menu gives a nice variety but wish I had a few more options to choose from. I plan to come back again next month.

An amazing observation deck which gives you a 360 degree view of all of Seattle and Puget sound! Plus if you look straight down 2nd, you can even see the Space Needle in between the buildings!The bar at the top, which I believe is called the Chinese Room, is so nice inside and every seat has a view. The food and drinks are appropriately priced for a nice penthouse style bar, but totally worth it for the service, taste, and experience inside.Enjoy!!!

Seriously one of the most charming places I visited in Seattle. Cocktails were well made and the bar was cozy. Although you can see Seattle from many different spots, the overall experience with the historical self guided tour to the charming bar to the 360 degree views - a memorable place we thought!

A nice view of the city, the interior itself is very nice and staff are friendly

Classic. Gorgeous interior with a silly, fun walkthrough theme. Observatory is beautiful, cozy, friendly staff. Worth the visit and half the cost of the Space Needle.

Had a great time! I really enjoyed the atmosphere in the bar at the Smith Tower. It is very laid back and has the right amount of sophistication. The views are as exceptional as the had crafted cocktails. This place is a definite must for people that enjoy prohibition style speakeasies. The elevator was fun and informational and you cant pass up the opportunity to sit in the wishing chair. My girlfriend made sure to let me know that the clock has not started! Tick Tock

Beautiful views of Seattle from the observatory. Enjoyed every moment spent in the building. Gorgeous interiors once you enter. There is a short video that shows the history of the building. I left refreshed spending time gazing the amazing views.

View and history great! Ambience lovely, old and classy. Food good but not super upscale. Sandwiches, flatbread, soups, salads, not hot entrees really. Great drink options! Friendly service

Great view and drinks. Thoroughly enjoyed my Manhattan and was swayed by the bartender to get a red ale for once.Probably wouldnt go back except when someones visiting from out of town though. Got $6 off for being a resident, but the cover is $18 before drinks with elevator rides in 1 - 2 hour intervals.

This is a beautiful historic building. The observation deck is not just a spectator location it is a work of art that should be experienced. Go there, have lunch and a drink.

Some of the best views in Seattle!! A historic place that is truly a gem in the modern city. It’s a shame that they’re replacing the elevators with electronic versions so jump in and visit before they are placed!Bar/restaurant is nice but a little overpriced and has a limited selection - I opted for lunch elsewhere but the view and gift shop/ice cream bar is totally worth a $12 local (WA Resident) admission fee.

Smith Tower is a pretty neat little historical spot in downtown Seattle. It has some interesting history behind it and you can find out all about it through the tour they have (which also allows you to go to the top). The elevators are super old which is cool, but the view from the top is great, and it has a little bar up there which is nice (you can also order food depending on the time of day). If you havent been up there, its worth the few bucks to go see the view.

Smith tower was a fantastic experience even for a local. The views out of the tower are breathtaking and the food and drink service was top notch. The history at the bottom of the tower was really interesting and provided lots of opportunities to interact and learn about Seattles early history and the Smith Towers influence on the west coast. The Asian themed bar and restaurant offered a plethora of options for food and drinks that were not specific to Asian cuisine so dont worry if that isnt your cup of tea. The only downside is the caging on the outside walkway doesnt cover you from any rain so be prepared if you venture outdoors.

An absolute must. Excellent drinks, stunning views.

Good place to visit. Bar opens at 4pm

A great landmark in Seattle and an epic old-school bar at the top. Well worth the cost of admission. Art deco style throughout the building, particularly the lobby area, and cant beat the views and drinks up top. Really fun to walk around the observation deck too. Had great drinks including the best Irish coffee ive ever tasted. Go here!!

Very cool exhibit which not only has great views of the city but also takes you back to the 1920s when the tower was first opened. The lounge that is surrounded the observation deck has fantastic cocktails and fresh squeezed lemonade.

This provides excellent views of the city from an early 20th century tower. There is a fee for the tour. (Make sure you ask for the Locals rate; it is even better the the Senior discount.)A Chinese-decor restaurant offers at reasonable prices. And, you can get to the restaurant (and attendant bar) without having go through the tour (and entrance fee).

If you chose to do the interactive portion and answer questions in the pamphlet be sure to tell a employee by the time you get to the top!

Unfortunately we couldnt go inside as they were closed on Mondays. But from outside the building looked pretty good. Something like this.

Love the view around

Really enjoyed visiting Smith Tower, it was fantastically put together with a prohibition/early 1900s theme throughout the experience. The bar at the top was very impressive with amazing views and equally impressive drinks. Enjoyed Smith Tower more than the space needle.
