Message from Liberty

Quality cocktail bar that happens to have great sushi 'till 2am
  • Fantastic cocktails
  • Friendly atmosphere
  • Comfy couches in a great room

Here's what The Stranger's brilliant Bethany Jean Clement has to say about Liberty, "Liberty is clearly the place on 15th Avenue and on the Hill in general to get a top-drawer cocktail: All juices are pressed from fresh fruit on demand (and, on Tuesday night, by an assortment of four handsome, personable barmen). The walls are pumpkin colored, the décor is spare and nice-but-not-too-nice, the bar is made from one contiguous slab of red oak, the wine rack is super cool, and the sushi is tasty." She's a genius, that Bethany. We take great care to make sure that every drink that we make is perfect, and we take that care very seriously. We specialize in 'pre-prohibition cocktails', and that means that every drink is made with fresh juice as you order it and made with great ingredients--great drinks in a great atmosphere. Oh, and the sushi? It's fresh, artful and tasty 'till 2am.

Fun Neighborhood Lounge  4 Star Rating - Very good

Liberty serves house-made maki and freshly pressed cocktails (no premixes - juices are freshly squeezed). Even on Friday nights, the vibe is casual and fun. Because it is tiny, you have to arrive early to grab tables. Parking can also be difficult on thursday and friday nights. The maki is available until 1am, so if you need a midnight snack with your cocktail, this is the place to go.

Cool place, good sushi 4 Star Rating - Very good

Nice little spot, cozy place with good music, fast and friendly service and a sushi chef that adds value to the pleasant atmosphere. We went for the first time last Saturday and I think that we will be returning soon.

Pros: ambience, sushi
Cons: the music should be little louder

Quality product and receptive to listen to customer complaints 4 Star Rating - Very good

I truly believe Liberty will be a great spot to just relax for many years to come. Andrew is especially attentive to the customers. The bartenders are awesome; with Justin being quite the Casanova! Sometimes the service is quite slow. Overall great place to bring a date or an out of town guest. My friend from Barbados thought it was nice. Thanks for being there in our walking neighborhood. My brother's pups like it too.

Whenever You're in the Area. 5 Star Rating - World class

Back again to Liberty, I live out of Seattle, and found it to be as good or better than the other times I had been there. The food had improved in that there seemed to be more consistency to the portions. The vast array of drinks seemed to be almost unbelievable considering the size of the bar. How can you fault this little place at all. By yourself or with a friend it's the best bet in the neighborhood.

Terrific cocktails and sushi 5 Star Rating - World class

I'd heard rave reviews from my friends, so my girlfriend and I went there a week ago to check it out. I loved the atmosphere, which I would describe as a cross between comfortable and chic, and the cocktails were great, thanks to the freshly squeezed juices and the talented bartender. The sushi was better than most of the sushi I've had in Seattle, and reasonably priced as well.
The only complaint I have is that my girlfriend told me that the bartender became a little too friendly towards her when I went across the street to buy a pack of cigarettes. I'm sure he was just being friendly and nothing more, but it did make her a little uncomfortable.

Pros: Food, drinks and atmosphere

I keep coming back 5 Star Rating - World class

The other reviews seem to come to the same conclusion that I got. A great neighborhood bar/cafe. When I feel like I need to get out of the house, this is the place I can go. The great black couches are perfect for reading a book or just having conversation. The staff is always friendly and the sushi is decent. The concept works!
