The Tin Lizzie Lounge — Restaurant in Seattle

The service seems to be regularly awful here unfortunately. Really wanted to like this place because on paper it's the type of place that's right up my alley and I live in the neighborhood. The first time I went the drinks were fine, nothing to write home about. Service was sub par, but they were pretty busy and I'm patient so that was fine too. Went a few times after that with a similar experience.

Came back a final time despite the so-so cocktails because there are limited cocktail bar options in LQA. Now this experience was awful and we never even got our drinks. There was some kind of college game going on at Climate Pledge and the bartenders mentioned they were allowed to close an hour early to beat the crowd. We arrived about two hours prior to the early closing time. It wasn't even particularly busy in the bar, but after being ignored for 30 minutes, the bartender finally came over to take our drink order. Another 15-20 minutes pass and the bartender still hasn't even started on our drinks all while loudly complaining to his co-worker the entire time how they were going to be so busy because of the game, even though they were closing a whole hour early! Doesn't even make any sense since Tin Lizzie is right next to Climate Pledge so they regularly get the before/after game/concert crowd. We just got up and left and I haven't been back since. Their mediocre cocktails just aren't worth the consistently...

Last night (Saturday) we tried to take our friend in a wheelchair to Toulouse across the street, but they didn't have any ADA seating available and we "settled" on the Tin Lizzie as a place to grab a drink while we searched for another dinner spot. We ended up in the back room with Kira as our server. We chatted through one drink, and then another, and then on our third round the table decided we weren't going anywhere else for food. I ordered the burger, my girlfriend the blue cheese stuffed chicken, and both were excellent. It was the chef's first group dinner and the table agrees he did a wonderful job, from appetizers to dessert. The highlight of the evening was definitely Kira. Friendly, funny, kind, personable; all the positive adjectives you want from a server describe her to a tee. She bonded with our friend in the wheelchair and by the end of the night they connected on social media. Everything was great from the food to the live music, but Kira earned this five...

An elegantly decorated little bar with lots of dark wood and comfortable seating. I find this place difficult to sum up, but I have to try, so here we go... I went here on a Monday night to catch up with a friend, and there were maybe 6 other people in the place in the duration of our visit. You would think that speaks to the service quality, but it doesn't. I received excellent service and even had the chance to sit and chat with the manager who encouraged us to tell our friends about the place... so here I am! The Tin Lizzie has happy hour all day Sunday and Monday (awesome!) and a bar staff with an impressive background. I aim to come back and check out the live music sometime soon... from what I hear, they have a singer every other Sunday that covers great songs from artists like Coldplay and Elton John. I will say their happy hour mixed drinks were on the pricier side, but the food is a decent deal if you're looking for a meal-sized plate (paninis...
