It's always fun to try a new wine bar! Locus is really cool- it has that historic pioneer square feel combined with some modern touches. It felt really urban and cool and had fabulous people watching. I love the way they do the wine flights! Each wine came with a little card with some info, which was really informative and fun. I did the "staff picks" flight and let my server pick her favorites to serve me, which was really fun. The wines were all phenomenal, but the Grenache was definitely my favorite! They also have a ton of excellent food, which all paired so well with the wine. I was hungry and tried a LOT! The mushroom risotto was an obvious fave and was rich and wonderful. I also liked the cheese and Mezze boards- perfect amount of food for a snack. They offer gluten free crackers as well! You also have the option to add on a chocolate pairing to your wine flight, which is so fun. The service was a little slow, but our server was lovely and definitely did what she could to make us feel special.

I was blown away when I walked in they remembered our names, close to a month later. Wow! The service is outstanding and they are always smiling. The food is tasty and matches their wines. I'm looking forward to trying one of their wine club events.

What a beautiful spot to drink wine outside and have delicious bites. The service was amazing. The wine flight was so fun and tasty. Fun experience especially for date night. My favorite was the pita bread and hummus. I'd come back!

I had the absolute best time here! I work in wine and wanted to do some tasting while in Washington and stumbled across this place. The wine was delish, the space was adorable, and Christopher was such an angel. He gave my boyfriend and I so many suggestions for good food & things to do while in town. We definitely will be back when we're in Washington! Thank you Christopher for such a lovely experience & being a lovely human!

In love with this little winery/restaurant gem in Pioneer Square! The full mediterranean-inspired menu came as a delightful surprise (the Turkish meze platter and the watermelon with whipped feta paired beautifully with their white wine flight), the warm service of chef Ton and the staff, the pretty indoor and outdoor seating for cozy ambience, I love all of it. Highly recommend for brunch or a date night before events in the area (it's also rentable as a private event space). I've already been here twice in the past month, so I think it's safe to say Locus is my new favorite spot.:)

Let's start with the obvious. Pioneer Square doesn't have...the BEST reputation. There are certain areas of it that reflect it being the oldest neighborhood in the city. However, there are other parts of it, that when you turn down its old cobblestone streets, you tend to forget that you are even in Seattle. Tucked away in one of these secluded places is LOCUS WINES. This small, intimate wine bar only has about a dozen tables and a terribly charming window seat. During the warmer months it has outdoor seating that only adds to its charm. They have monthly events and a dedicated group of regulars who come in after a busy day or just to unwind. While there, I had risotto for the very first time and it was AMAZING! As a main course I had cold steak with micro greens. They offered a flight of wines that paired well with your meal and they staff were just fuckin' chill, you know? No attitudes, no rush to turn the table over. They were truly happy to have you there. It's worth noting that they sell the wine they make so that's VERY cool. All in all, if you are ever in the area, I highly recommend this place.

This tasting room is super cute, it's located in pioneer square. They're inclusive and welcoming. No complaints about service. The wines are affordable and the flights were cheaper than the cost of a cocktail from most of the restaurants I visited while in SeattleI went in to support this tasting room because they seem to be inclusive and thry appear to provide experiences where their wine can be appreaciated. When looking online we realzed they were having trivia night. Future events inc;ude a murder mystery dinner and a wine blending experience. I love that those are options. I came in knowing that I'd likely be leaving with wine to gift a friend. Although I was drinking from the perspective of someone else so that I could determine if they'd like it, I still was surprised that I only enjoyed one wine between two different wine flights. I bought a bottle of 2022 Locus Modo white wine, which I consider to be a white meritage since it's made with sauvignon blanc and semillon. I picked up notes of tropical and stone fruits and the acid seemed balanced. Overall, I was underwhelmed by the reds but that's simply because I tend to like a tad more complexity. That being said, the reds here were smooth and easy to drink- I could even see some of them being great table wines. Wishing this tasting room lots of success and I do look forward to trying future vintages.
