Fog Room

Some friends and I came here after a birthday dinner for drinks. We didn't have reservations but were able to get in. The view is just okay as others have mentioned - this "rooftop" is only a few floors up and there's a building blocking the view. They do have nice seating on the patio though. I got a special summer berry drink that was very fruity , not very alcoholic, a little watery in my opinion. I would prefer a higher view but drinks weren't bad and would come back if other rooftops have a longer wait.

Amazing place!!! Once you get to seat everything goes so good... cocktails, food, music, view... guys take your girl here, I promise...

The fog room is a swanky rooftop bar! The location is perfect. It offers a fantastic view. The old-fashioned were great, and the sliders hit the spot with their brioche bun and amazing flavor! They were out of wings 15 minutes after opening... this was disappointing, but the sliders were good. Watch out for the automatic 20% gratuity. They don't say it, but they circle it on the receipt.

We were so lucky this bar was on the roof of our hotel. We were able to enjoy it three times on our trip. Wait staff is attentive and knowledgeable! Drinks are top shelf and they have a large list of options including many signature cocktails. And you CANNOT beat the view.

We tried Fog Room back in August, finally writing the review. We loved the ambience, the view is great (a couple buildings block some of the view), service was great.We got Citrus marinated olives, Fries, Lamb Meatball Skewers, Spot Prawn Croquettes. We loved the olives, fries, and Lamb meatball skewers. Spot Prawn Croquettes weren't a favorite, it was a little sweet for me. We loved the cocktails we got.

Pretty bar with a lovely view and great cocktails! We got espresso martinis and a charcuterie board which was fun. Total bill was $85 (keep an eye out for surcharges!) Even though the service was good and the view was pretty, it might just be a one time thing for me ‍

I recently visited Fog Room Seattle, and I must say, the combination of exceptional drinks and a breathtaking view made for an unforgettable experience. The carefully crafted beverages showcased a perfect blend of flavors, complemented by the stunning scenery. This establishment truly delivers on both taste and ambiance, making it a standout choice for anyone seeking a delightful evening.

A chill, upscale rooftop bar located inside the Charter Hotel -- it's a stone's throw from Pike Place Market if you're looking to plan a day in the Downtown and Belltown area. We were able to get a reservation for 10 for a friend's birthday, and were seated outdoors on their patio. I've been to a few rooftop bars in Seattle, and the view here is OK (depending on where you're sitting). We were there for sunset and the ambiance was super nice, but our view of the water was definitely blocked by a tall building. It's a bit on the pricier side, but that's to be expected for a rooftop anything.The service here is FANTASTIC -- our server asked everyone about their favorite spirits and made such thoughtful recommendations about what each person would like. Every single drink he recommended was a hit -- I got the Star and Shadow and loved the smokiness from the mezcal. It was great to sip on and overall felt like a nice place to lounge. Overall, the drinks here are really great (albeit a bit pricey) but you could probably find a better view elsewhere. They have really knowledgeable servers, and I would come back for a special occasion.

If you're looking for a place with a nice view, comfy seating, and an impressive selection of specialty cocktails and hard to find spirits, this is a good option. If you don't mind paying pretty exorbitant prices.Located at the top of the Hilton Charter hotel about two blocks from Pike Place Market, on the 16th floor, note that there is very limited seating on the balcony. Service was good, but note that the establishment adds a mandatory 20% service charge which they claim they keep 4% of and pass the rest on to the staff. If you're staying at the hotel, the entire amount of the bill including the service charge can be applied against the daily $25 per day resort fee, but that's about the cost of one specialty cocktail.These are prices I'd expect in NYC, not Seattle, where the mixologist created cocktails are life-changing. Were these drinks life-changing? No. It's a stretch to even call them memorable.You're paying for the slightly upscale ambiance and massive selection, and the view. If you feel that's worth the price, you'll probably be happy.

Reviews seem to be somewhat mixed among others so I suppose I should note that I have been here three times between 2019 and 2024, all of them early evening around the time they open, which may have made it easier for staff to provide service that is within the range of good/decent.My biggest reason for posting a Yelp review, which I do not often do, is both the price range and the "tip." Cocktails run in the $18-$20 range, which is high even by Seattle standards; the appetizers--which are all they really offer currently in terms of food--are roughly between $14 and $20 or so, some a bit more I think, which is relatively standard. I wish I could be fully confident on the food prices except that I did not take a photo of the menu, and the Fog Room website features several menus with countless items no longer offered, a real pet peeve of mine: how hard is it to update a website? Why do places constantly allow their websites to be woefully outdated for ages? Having rotating menu items within the same price range is one thing, but Fog Room's website has menus for full dishes of a sort they are not offering at all; it is only small plates, which you would never know from looking at the website.And then there's the "20% service charge" that gets put on every bill whether you like it or not: it's very helfpul to be armed with this information going in, as it nullifies any need to add a tip. We were informed that this charge gets put into a pool tip for staff, minus 4% that the hotel takes. My companion added another 4% tip to account for this, which was very noble of her, but my total bill as high enough as it was--one side dish, two cocktails: with tax and service charge, over $70. It could be argued that this is nuts.Except! And I really cannot stress this enough. The cocktails were as delicious as they were beautifully presented (I had two mai tais). And the food was genuinely incredible (my companion and I split the bavarian pretzel and the mushroom quesadilla). Between all this and the spectacular city and Elliott Bay views from this 16th-floor rooftop bar, as well as the interior ambience that was lovely in its own right (if a bit loud once all the tables fill up), I have to admit--this was actually worth both the price and the inconvenience. I just need to find a way to remind myself to expect the high expense and the "service fee" the next time I come back, and to budget accordingly.
