Damn the Weather

I am in Seattle for three days. I went here on Monday night with a co-worker and the place was empty (which is understandable since it was President's Day). We sat at the end of the bar and the bartender came right over to chat and take our order. We started out with a couple drinks recommended by our bartender. My coworker got a whiskey drink and I a Moscow Mule. While not served in a metal mug, the drink was smooth and delicious in the glass - which is the first time I had ever had a decent Moscow Mule served in a glass.My coworker knew his drinks and ordered a whiskey I'd never heard of (though I'm not a connoisseur of whiskey), then he ordered a cocktail off the menu that the bartender recommended and then had a vodka drink with the Polish vodka the bartender also had recommended (the same one I had ordered for my mule.He wanted oysters (which I think are icky) and he said were very good. I got the duck fat fries (heavenly) and then we both ordered burgers which were juicy and delicious.Damn the Weather is located in Pioneer Square and is great place to unwind with friends and colleagues after work for great drinks, good food, knowledgeable bartenders, and an awesome atmosphere.

I looked this place up because I wanted a bar that specialized in specialty drinks. They did not disappoint. Be warned... parking is limited, and we came about an hour before they closed. The bartender was wonderful and made some really good suggestions.First, we had the old-fashioned from the boozy menu, and the dos arbolitos fenn the fizzy menu. The la hara old-fashioned packed a lot of punch without being overwhelming. The dos arbolitos was sweet and fizzy with an aftertaste of rose water. Next, we had the jaztronaut, which reminded me of a ruby red grapefruit and the wintry cocktail that featured a sweetened brandy that made it pleasant with a hint of orange. The bartender did inform us that she and another coworker created the cocktail. It may not be on the menu when the weather changes. All in all... great place to go if you want a nice drink without all the frills. Just a great drink!

Loved all the drinks! They have a lot of really cool cocktails which is mainly what we came for. The cocktail list is pretty diverse and unique but still concise, which I like. They have a full bar though so you can order whatever you'd like and they make a really good espresso martini if you're a fan of those. The food selection felt a bit limited and the vegetarian options were also limited. We did try the fries and the BBQ Vegetarain Burnt Ends which were quite good, but there wasn't much more for me as a veggie unfortunately. The drinks is absolutely come back for though and the service was excellent! The decor is kind of a classic, wealthy mansion vibe, but still maintaining a casual air with the ambiance. Great place to "damn the weather" when it's raining and I'd definitely come back for cocktails and snacks!

3.5 rounded to 4Came for a work lunch and it was fine, nothing that stood out for good or for bad. It's a small, cozy place that I think would be better for drinks, so I'm inclined to come back. I got to try the campanelle pasta which was surprisingly housemade and hit the spot for a good creamy dish. The cornichons and olives were just what you could get out of a jar so I wouldn't recommend getting them, but I did appreciate that the olives were seasoned somewhat differently.

Great drinks, great patio game, extremely kind servers. We stopped by for some drinks to start the night. The patio gives you a great street view of old Pioneer Square. The cocktails were creative and delicious. Wanna shout out the server that gave us karoake recs for the night. Robin, you rock!

This. Place. Rawks!!! From the service to the meal, everything was on point! We had a great meal.

I have had colleagues tell me they went for a drink at Damn the Weather on multiple occasions and I was stoked when someone invited me for dinner there.I felt like the food was just okay. I'm not a fan of all the fluff and I like a classic taste. I'm sure the food is supposed to taste elevated, but to me it was just an expensive plate of pasta that I didn't get to enjoy. I liked my drink it was pretty and taste alright and my colleagues didn't like theirs so I felt bad. When it came time to try dessert we just didn't want to add to the bill since we were already not very satisfied.The place is loud so it's hard to have a real conversation. The servers were great, but I felt like after awhile ours wanted us to leave.

I came here after the first Thursday art walks in Pioneer Square around 8pm with no reservation and was able to grab a table for 5 after a short wait.This is probably the most appropriately named bar in Seattle, but it leans into the rainy weather here by creating an intimate atmosphere. There are beautiful hardwood floors that switch to marble tile as you get closer to the bar.The food is mostly comfort food (with just a few vegetarian options, and no visible vegan options), but you shouldn't come here for the food, come for the drinks and atmosphere.

Gotta love the name! The hostess seated us and also waited on us... very hospitable demeanor, simply pleasant with her approach! I believe it's Ash.My first choice was their crispy chicken sandwich. It looked like I was going to love it. Unfortunately I don't like dark meat enough to eat as a sandwich.. so I was offered a replacement.. their Grass Fed burger- perfectly grilled onions, sauce, L&T ! Hands down delicious comfort at every bite! Flavored well along with fresh fries made me whole! Thank you for allowing me a second option! My Malibu Dream was fruitfully potent, not too sweet or bitter with mezcal, Campari & elderflower!

Came here for brunch on a Sunday and it was EMPTY. We were the only ones in the restaurant LOL. The inside looks really pretty, kind of historic almost, and I really liked the atmosphere. I ordered the steak frites and thought they were only okay. The steak was too tough and the ratio of steak to fries was really off in my opinion. The fries were also overly salted, but I liked the chimichurri sauce on the steak. My boyfriend ordered the vegetarian sloppy joe, which he also thought was only okay. He said the bites with the bread were pretty good, but since it's a pretty messy sandwich, when he ate the parts that spilled out by themselves he realized it's actually not that great.
