Knee High Stocking

Get the Sisig, lumpia and Thx for Smoking - I could do this every night Great atmosphere and service. Will be returning soon.

Such a great restaurant and cocktail bar! It is totally into the speakeasy thing where you ring a doorbell to get in. Reservations are really recommended here as the place isn't really all that big. The cuisine is Filipino inspired and it is so very, very delicious! Steve and I shared an order of lumpia which we always love but we especially loved Knee High's version!For my actual meal I got the Chicken Adobo bowl. It was so very delicious, flavorful, fresh and a sheer delight to eat! For dessert we got the Ube Bread Pudding which was excellent and finished out an extremely satisfying meal.But we wouldn't be getting the full speakeasy experience if we didn't get some cocktails so we didn't leave that stone unturned at all. I got The Lady in the Streets which was appropriately described as an anise forward cocktail which it certainly was. I personally love anise so I didn't hesitate at all to make that my first cocktail choice and it was wonderfully surreal to my taste buds! Pear of Gibraltar was my second cocktail. It too was a wonderful thrill but I liked the anise one best. I was tempted to get it a second time actually but the cocktail menu was so intriguing I had to try something else. Truly a wonderful, wonderful dining and drinking experience. In the end the bill was far from cheap but everything was a sheer delight and well worth it!

A cute speakeasy chill bar perfect for hanging out with friends! I've been here a couple times for craft cocktails. The inside is decorated nicely and is a stark contrast from the unassuming outside. It took a while for our drinks to come but that was okay since we weren't really in any rush. The drinks all had very interesting flavors and were super enjoyable. I think it was on the pricier side ($20+per drink), but if you go during happy hour it's $4 off select drinks. We also got some food which I was not impressed with. It was a pricey and the portions were small. A lot of the foods we're very acidic. I enjoyed the lumpia and chicken wings. If you come here I would stick to the appetizers and definitely get the UBE BREAD PUDDING!

I wish I could give it zero stars. If you want to experience gentrification go here. They say it's a Filipino inspired fusion, but the only thing Filipino are the words used on the menu. They are using the word Filipino to up charge to make the food seem "authentic". Garlic rice was just white rice with a sprinkle of deep fried garlic chips. 3 lumpia's for $15 is absurd, and 2 Turon dessert lumpia for $12 is insane. Sisig is not a vegetarian dish. The food was bland and unseasoned and why would you serve tater tots with any Filipino food?!The picture of the mom on the postcard is disrespecting that lady on the postcard. The lady on the postcard would NEVER approve of the meals we had at this place claiming to be Filipino. The ambiance in the place is dark so you won't see the unseasoned food. Seattle has great food, but this place is not one of them. Avoid at all cost.

Loved this place!A little confusing to find given the exterior doesn't really show it's a bar. They had a small little sign and you press the door bell waiting to get let in.We randomly wanted to come here on a Saturday night not knowing you need reservations. Luckily for us, a couple were just leaving and they had seats for us at the bar. Our bar tender was very friendly and knowledgeable. We had a blast talking to her and getting recommendations on drinks. I would come back to this bar anytime I visit Seattle. Highly recommend to come early or make reservations.

I"ve always been a sucker for exceptional cocktails served in a speakeasy atmosphere, so when I heard about Knee High Stocking I was really excited to try it; it did NOT disappoint!The door is unmarked and hard to spot. When you find it, you need to use a doorbell to be let in by the doorkeeper. I really liked the vibe once we were inside, and the three of us were seated right away (we had a reservation) and enjoyed watching the bartenders do their magic. Extremely patient, knowledgeable and friendly, our bartender recommended a specialty cocktail for each of us. Through the course of our time at Knee High, we each had two cocktails, and both of mine were excellent!Tip: The place is open until midnight on Friday and Saturday nights. If you come on either of these nights, reservations are strongly advised.Despite the fact that we were there on a Friday night and stayed almost until closing time, we didn't feel any pressure to leave, even when we were virtually the last customers left in the bar :-)While I really enjoyed sitting at the bar, when we come back I'm going to try and snag a table downstairs, as that area looks very cozy and semi-private. Regardless of where you end up sitting, Knee High stocking is an awesome destination to head for if you want to some speciality cocktails and a speakeasy vibe. Highly recommended!

It's been a minute since I enjoyed an evening at Knee High. Great company, fantastic food, and drinks. Sadly I was so wrapped up in conversation I forgot to take pics. It means I will need to go back.Three hours, many appetizers, a couple of mains, many inventive drinks... and very good service. We were seated in one of the downstairs rooms, which we had to ourselves for most of the time.I had several drinks, including one made with a cherry-rose shrub. Craft cocktails with the right strength and taste for all the drinks. One of my friends had the Purple Haze with smoking lavender. We had many rounds of select cocktails where we told our server what we wanted as a base, and she returned with some great creations.The food is a fusion of Filipino cuisine with some modern takes. I've spent much time in the Philippines, and everything is the mark. As a vegetarian, I enjoyed the eggplant adobo and veg lumpia.Take your time, make your reservations well in advance and bring friends to enjoy a memorable evening.

Cool little place with good filipino food and cocktails. Owner very sweet and bartender super nice.

Had a date night here, the hostess Eleanor was charming and server Martin was bubbly, attentive, and knew the menu very well. They recommended us the cigarette at a funeral drink and it ended up being our favorite of the night! Drinks were delicious and balanced, and the food was filling yet snacky, perfect for bites and cocktails!

high quality drinks and amazing food! the hostess eleanor was so sweet and welcoming. the server martin was very knowledgeable about the menu and charming. definitely coming back!!
