Oliver's Twist Reviews

Really disappointed, to be frank. We got three cocktails, which were tasty and why I'm giving 3 stars. We got the stuffed dates, carbonara, fennel salad, and the brioche s'mores. The dates were good, but the carbonara and fennel salad were so small and lacking... I wouldn't order the salad again, but I'd order the carbonara for 2/3 of the price. But the s'mores... ugh. Advertised as a sandwich with brioche bread, we were expecting something pretty nice for 10 bucks. Alas, it truly looked like maybe three toasted marshmallows were put in a sandwich with store bought pre-sliced bread, with some chocolate sauce. I didn't eat my portion. So, go here for the drinks and perhaps happy hour- but skip the hell out of the lame s'mores.

Popcorn and potatoes are bomb! Server was very helpful. Highly recommend.

Good drink selection. Extremely Courteous servers. Nice atmosphere. Just don't come here if your really hungry (As advertised it's a good place for small plates/tapas) The owners are amazing and thoughtful. Get the fingerling potatoes and the cheese plate!

Really bad service, was rushed and never checked on.

Can't beat the cocktails and friendly vibe. Bartender Karuna is a master of the craft and a super nice guy. Enjoy!

Amazing cocktails and very friendly staff. Cozy and great for rainy day happy hours.

This place gets insanely crowded. It's basically a cafeteria where people cram in shoulder to shoulder before games and eat their strange yet oddly good food. Things like spicy bacon PB&J sandwiches. Overall fun though, if it's not too crowded go play some pop-a-shot and have a beer.

Very nice, quaint, locations. Good food and drinks. Great place for a date.

Had drinks there last night. It was good but I thought the drinks could have come out, or additional rounds been offered a little faster. The popcorn was good but cold. Is it supposed to be cold? It would have been great hot.

Great place for tapas and a drink. The owner's are extremely helpful and courteous.

Decent, nice place to get a cocktail/beer and some small plates if you're in the area. I'll probably be back.

This is one of my favorite bars. They have phenomenal cocktails and the bartenders are amazing.

Great old fashioned, and the grilled cheese was so good I had a second!

Up on Phinney Ridge sits this unassuming powerhouse. A local spot that nails the classic drinks and compliments with their own unique creations. Nothing too showy here but with this much of a great neighborhood feel, they don't need it.

Fantastic cocktails! Great place to grab a drink with a friend on a weeknight.

Excellent place. Excellent drinks, excellent service

The Ambiance is great, the drinks are very good, and trust me, order the popcorn. It's like crack. You won't be able to get enough! :D

Fancy drinks. So extremely crowded that condensation was forming on the floor from the humidity. I almost slipped and fell three times.

Dude...places like this have to start posting their kitchen hours, too! I walked in (starving) over two hours prior to posted closing time and was told the kitchen was closed. First, it leaves a bad taste in the mouth of super hungry people like me if they are told they can't get food at a seemingly reasonable time compared to the closing time. It simply reflects poorly. Second, I'm a bartender. It is illegal in the state of Washington to serve alcohol without having food available...
Soooo...where is the food again?! If the business owner, operator or manager happens upon this review...the liquor board DOES do late night visits. I've witnessed it.

Also, I get costs in Seattle are high, but if they were even just a little lower than $12-$14 per drink, I might have stayed and had one, but I wasn't willing to pay that at a place that didn't have what I needed and wanted, but reasonably speaking, should have.

Good ambiance for singles or couples. Excellent bartenders, well blended cocktails.

Great, service excellent and conversation with owner and the bartender was very nice.

Friendly relaxing atmosphere to meet friends and friendly locals. Good food and high quality drinks. Not usually open on Sunday except special events, such as April first pop up featuring Cambodian food to greater success than the staff was prepared for. They handled it with a smile and style.

I was meeting a friend there, and it was my first visit. They serve apps and drinks. The place is small, seating maybe 25 people. The decor is Urban, with dark wood tables and dark leather benches and ottomans. We had bacon and blue cheese stuffed dates and BBQ pork sliders. Both apps were delicious! We also had Moscow mules as well. It was my first one and it was so good! I'm definitely having that drink again! The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars, is because the bathroom is really dark. I don't expect it to be bright, but the paint and curtains were both dark, and the bulb was maybe 60 watt. If they would put in a brighter light bulb I would give it 5 stars!

Cozy, awesome neighborhood cocktail lounge. Great background music and excellent drinks and snacks.

This location is almost a little too easy to pass by while driving, but be happy you made the stop. It's a wonderful bar with great seating and lighting. The drinks are well made and there's a level of craft that you don't get from most places. The food pairs perfectly with the libations. The truffle popcorn makes you want to pick some up before you watch a movie. Or at least somehow get the recipe! I LOVE this place.

My favorite north end spot for expertly crafted cocktails and snacks. Order from the menu or just express what you re in the mood for and they will prepare something unique.
