Warning:⚠️ Do yourself a favor, be both thirsty and hungry! Your taste buds are about to go to a whole new level!
If you are looking for a casual atmosphere that is cozy, relaxingly cool, friendly and a menu that is loaded with quality ingredients you have hit the jackpot.
Imagine this: your order comes out pippin’ hot, it melts in your mouth, it is a good messy and after one bite, you have officially realized that you are in heaven!
Long story, short, we stumbled upon Damn The Weather, by design and I’m so glad we did!
Full Disclosure: We live on the Eastside, we come to the “city” once a month for a standing reservation to get our hair done (more on the secret later, and back to this review). The minute we walked in, we knew we hit a home run and I can’t believe we didn’t find this place a lot earlier, like almost 10 years ago! Seriously? 🙄🙈
Connor (z’bartender) was 100% amazing and made the Chef (omg, the nicest person on the planet) who came out from the kitchen to give us recipe some recipe tips. Crazy awesome, right?
A second “wow,” were the guests that also bellied up to the bar! I can honestly say, we were are all respectful listening and talking amongst each other (no politics). We conversed, we heard each other and it didn’t matter if you were visiting from out of town, or to having to be somewhere locally, this was an amazing experience it never slowed anyone down.
Damn The Weather made me fall back back in love with Seattle. Thank you! 🙏
So let’s get down to the Nitty Gritty and talk shop about Damn The Weather ☔️
Our Order, in order.
1. Hibiscus Margaritas.
2. Cracker Jax.
3. Burger and Fries.
4. Brownie and Homemade Ice Cream.
5. Not included: Fork Lyft.
The photos say it all. All house made down to the cracker jacks, sesame seed bun, hand cut fries, ice cream … you’re probably drooling by now as I am reminiscing about our experience.
Don’t take my word for it and run, don’t walk to Damn The Weather … you will definitely thank me later.

Lived Damn the Weather! Had fabulous cocktails, a wonderful meal and our waitress was great. I loved the decor. (My husband even asked about the origin of the restaurant's name. See if your server knows.) We'll definitely be going back!
Came here for drinks and appetizers. The inside was so cute and quaint and the lighting was dim and perfect. Good atmosphere for sure. We got the cheese plate which was delicious. We also got the fries which my picture turned out blurry but they were decent with a great aïoli dipping sauce. We also got the cracker jacks which was a nice sweet bite. The drinks were ok felt like they were pretty weak especially after having 3 and didn't feel like I had much of a buzz which is rare for me. Overall the service was decent and no complaints there.
This establishment is an exceptional choice for enjoying a solitary dining experience at the bar. Numerous individuals were seen indulging in this delightful practice. Surprisingly, the venue was not crowded on a Tuesday, allowing for a serene and relaxed atmosphere. The Halibut and bean salad surpassed expectations with its exceptional flavor, albeit a slightly higher quantity of sea beans would have elevated it further. The beer selection proved to be of high quality and complemented the cuisine perfectly. As for the signature cocktails, they were decent, but did not quite reach the level of excellence I had anticipated.
Everything we ordered was great, I have to recommend the lamb heart (I know...trust me, it was absolutely amazing). Portions are not big but filling.
Service was good. Drinks were delicious. We will go back!
Damn The Weather is a nice little spot that seems a tad bit classier than most other bars in the area, but with prices that are still reasonable for Seattle. Plus they’ve got a clever name and who doesn’t like that? I recommend their ‘Heaven or Las Vegas’ cocktail if you like the lighter and refreshing gin and elderflower combination.
Absolutely the best sandwich I've ever had. The muffaletta was out of this world. The kale salad accompanied it and it was stellar as well. The pickled onions matched it well. Happy we stopped while we were visiting
A true gastronomic adventure. Great food. Fantastic cocktails. Fabulous staff.
Perfect spot to stop for lunch away from the crowds a few blocks over. We enjoyed the burger, chicken sandwich and charcuterie board. All were excellent. Service was attentive but not over bearing.
Food was probably 4.5. We
loved the chicken sandwich and kale salad. Aioli with fries was not impressive, bun with chicken could also be upgraded...good overall. Burger was good, but not amazing.

Stopped here for one last drink on a Wednesday night and it was packed! My old fashioned was good but the food smelled amazing! I definitely want to go back and try the menu.
My partner and I came here for the first time last Saturday and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! They don’t take reservations so we took our chances and showed up at 8pm for dinner. They didn’t have a table immediately available but we were able to order drinks from a standing counter space which was good enough for us! No sooner than we got our drinks, we were seated at a table just 12 minutes after arrival.
We started with the Calvados Buck and Eyes Like Twins for drinks. Both were tasty, refreshing, and not too sweet - just like we like them! For appetizers we ordered the Sunchokes & Mushrooms (our second favorite dish of the evening!) and the duck fat fries. I enjoyed the fries with the aioli but my partner found the duck fat taste too distinct and the aioli a bit too mayo-y.
For entrees we split the Spicy Pork Salad and the Grilled Lamb Heart. The lamb heart was perfectly cooked and tasty. The pork salad was TO DIE. We both couldn’t get enough of it! Truly, everything about that dish was perfect. We were pleasantly surprised by how good the pork was and loved that it was on the crispy side. My partner also got a second drink, Tiny Chance, which was super tequila forward so he needed a bit of help finishing it. It was listed under the boozey section so that should have been expected but the gin drink didn’t seem as overpowering to us (maybe we just prefer gin!).
The service was great, our food came out super fast even with how busy they were! I was honestly excited about everything on the menu and had a hard time narrowing down to order so we will definitely be back to try more and get another Spicy Pork Salad, no doubt!
Loved this place! The drinks were gewd!!! 😂. Staff was friendly and the atmosphere was comforting and welcoming. Will definitely come back here again. Wish they had this in San Francisco. 🍸 Cheers!
The food and drinks here were amazing! The cured meats and accompaniments was delicious and had a good variety of additions. The Bolognese was also super good. We both got drinks as well 10/10
Damn the Weather, one of the best hangs in the downtown area, has also prepared one of the best burgers I’ve had in Seattle, to date.
The cocktails are also excellent accompaniment- fresh and classy. With bar service that is both attentive and talented. (looking at you, Justin!)
I’ve not had a bad experience here. The space is small but well laid out and beautifully framed by 100 year’s-old architecture. It’s a must for the touring local.
Adorable cocktail bar in Pioneer Square, I'm a fan!
Haven't found my favorite cocktail yet but I'll be back to try them all. Very friendly and attentive service. Beautiful setting of brick wall, mood lighting and they even leave out a small hand-sanitizer on the table for you.
Highly recommend!
