Polar Bar

The atmosphere of this upscale establishment flaunts gratuitousness. It does bring me back to an earlier age of gilded rococo chandeliers and pleated curtains. The leather couches and seats are comfortable, and you can order fancy drinks like a smoked Manhattan. If one can afford $20+ drinks, then this is a place for you!

Mike and Sharon were fantastic! My Dad and I were visiting from Toronto/ Vancouver, Canada. We went for a drink at the Polar Bar in Seattle and were so happy we did! Mike gave us a little tour of the ballroom upstairs, chatted with my father and I for a bit, and made a great wine recommendation. Mike was attentive, friendly, hospitable and kind. He has great knowledge of the hotel — we hope to be back soon! Thanks, Mike and Sharon for adding to a lovely experience!

I am a local but the hotel bar is one of my favorites in Seattle. It's breathtakingly beautiful. Feels like you're in the First Class Bar on the Titanic or in Toto's "Africa" video. The carpet, the tile floors, the dark wood and desks, the overstated sofas. Simply stunning. And when it comes the the cocktails, they're First Class too. Bar Manager Mike is a magician. Make sure to try the Marie Antoinette... Let 'Em Eat Cake!!

What a fantastic bar! The drinks and food were good, but what really makes this place stand out is the atmosphere. Situated in a classic hotel the decor is beautiful and the atmosphere is very relaxed. This is the type of bar you can get a drink or two and have a relaxing conversation on a couch with a friend. That and there's a free-to-play pool table too. Service is super friendly too.

I rated it 5 because of the great evening I had here. No crowd when we went there which I loved for the occasion I am celebrating. The bar was somewhat similar like in The Shining movie. The bar was in an old, nostalgic hotel that used to be an Arctic Club which was a social club for men who worked in Alaska. I ordered a non-alcoholic drink which was the Anthony Hopkins and loved it. The bartender/waiter was friendly and great! Ordered fried oysters and chicken piccata. Chef was very accomodating for preparing the chicken piccata gluten free and it was delicious. They have a pool table near the bar where you can play for free. There was a fireplace too where you can dine and be more romantic while drinking. Seats are not for formal dining just fyi. You can have small staff meetings and small gathering party there. Price of food and drinks are reasonable.

Yes, this is the place Macklemore shot part of his music video Dance Off! Chill vibes, good drinks, and free-to-play pool tables. Loved the mirror tables. I had the Marie Antoinette cocktail which came with a little piece of cake 🍰 we also checked out the ballroom upstairs, which was absolutely stunning. Stand in the middle on the room on the dance floor and make some noise. You’re in for a sweet treat here.
