solid option in the midst of cap hill nightlife

Good food, casual vibe, great for groups. Personally I don't think the food hits the 5-star mark, but it's still tasty. Vegan egg options are pretty cool; I never had a vegan fried egg with runny yolk and all before.

Best Tres Leches

My daughter and I popped in around 10 pm this week while visiting. Only the late night menu was available. We shared nachos and tres Leches. The cake was delicious. Very cool lounge.

Updated from previous review on 2024-02-03

Pros: Nachos, Tres Leches

Disco in the restroom

Been here many times whenever I’m downtown. Great food, great service, and such a cool place to be. I’m obsessed with the disco restroom.

Pros: Great food, Good vibes, Location

Cons: Wish they had more specials

Solo traveler

I had a lovely meal here, ordered basic burger and fries, finished with tiramisu. Burger was delicious, sauce was incredible. The tiramisu was also delicious but I could only eat half as I was so full, gladly brought the rest away with me.
Cocktails are delicious, I tried two. Staff are very attentive and friendly. Really felt comfortable dining alone here and enjoyed the ambiance and the music.

Pros: Atmosphere , Drinks, Fully vegan establishment

Pretty good

I got the waffles with “bacon” “egg” “sausage” and “cheese” and it was pretty good, pretty greasy though. Definitely not the place for a health vegan.

Cool vegan bar to visit in Seattle

This bar has some unique food and cocktail options and was in a cool spot in Seattle. We tried the chopped cheese and shrimp po'boy sandwiches as well as the corn tamale cakes. Everything was good and the bar itself had a very cool atmosphere.

An absolute must try!

This place is an absolute must try if you are visiting Seattle. I had this place bookmarked because the menu and reviews caught my eye. When we walked in we were greeted immediately and sat at a cozy little two person booth. The menus are accessible via a QR code. The server asked if we had any questions and let us know she would be back in a bit to check on us. We were super overwhelmed by the drink menu and it must have been apparent because they came over and let us know it is not us it is them and they are totally self aware 😅. The server broke down the drink menu in a way that may it so much more clear. Honestly the service alone was 5 stars! There are mini paragraphs above each group of drinks that explains the type of category those drinks would fall in(martinis, margaritas, etc). That was a game changer and I ended up opting for the drink called “Big in Japan” which was one of the best drinks I’ve had in a long time. My BF and I ended up getting the MARS Sampler, which included all 3 flavors of their cauliflower wings, chick’n tenders, brussels sprouts, tamale cakes, hummus, and veggies. This is the way to go if you want to be able to try a bunch of items. It was the perfect amount of food for 2 people and we even had some leftover. The garlic butter Parmesan was the best flavor out of the 3 options for both cauliflower wings and tenders but I’m super glad I got to try all three flavors. The vibe inside is super fun and chill. I think it’s a great date night spot and they also have outdoor seating. We loved this place so much we went back a couple of days later for just drinks with friends.

Pros: Food Options available , The drink selections, The service

Cons: Drink menu can be a bit overwhelming

Decent food if you're already drunk

The food there was typical bar fare, it wasn't great but after a night of partying it hit the spot. I will say that I wasn't a big fan of whatever cheese sauce they use on the nachos though. The resturant is very aesthetic as well and has great vibes for a first date place.

Pros: Decor, Drinks

Cons: Cheese Sauce was weird, Parking is hard to come by

!!!!!!!

Took non-vegan friends here and they loved it. Many great options with some unique twists like the ‘poached’ egg.

Pros: Many options

Must visit

Super fun place for vinyl, vegan bites and unique drinks. The only downside is that I live so far from this place or I would be here all the time!

Excellent all-vegan bar and restaurant

Super hip vinyl bar with an extensive all plant-based menu! Staff was very friendly and I had a great time selecting a record to listen to!

Pros: Eclectic vegan menu items- not just bar food., Affordable, Very hip district and atmosphere

Cons: Cajun shrimp tacos were good but not spicy enough

Super Cool Vegan Ambience

Great location and the decor/feel of the place is super inviting. I sat outside and while breezy was able to enjoy my late brunch. I got crazy and got the Chick’n’Waffles (WHO AM I)?! Fried cauliflower and very buttery waffles, it was good - but not for me. I should have just ordered the Chick’n Caesar Salad like I had planned, oops! That’s my bad, not theirs.

The seasonal Kombucha was tart and refreshing but could have used being poured over ice (again my bad).

I’d definitely come back to check out their other items. Friendly personnel and located in a very vegan friendly neighborhood.

Pros: All Vegan/Plant-Based w/Cool Vibe, Friendly Personnel • Kind Vibes, Vinyls for Playing Available • Awesome Decor

Creative tasty cocktails and delicious comfort food

We sat at a cozy heated outdoor booth with our dog and had really good and unusual cocktails (including one made with aquafaba!) and the appetizer platter, which was huge and awesome. The cauliflower wings and the polenta cakes stood out as especially memorable. We are looking forward to returning and trying more of the menu because it looks great.

Pros: Cozy heated outdoor tables, Great food, Creative drinks

Good food, but damn…

With a name like “life on mars” you’d expect a fun environment at the very least. Really lacking in personality at this place, except for one of the bathrooms which is strange and silly. Food was hella expensive and while yeah it was good, it definitely felt like hey let’s take advantage of the vegans cause they expect to pay more anyway. I dunno. Won’t be going back.

Really cool spot, great food

Everything I could possibly want in life in a vegan restaurant/bar/record store except maybe books? Had the appetizer sampler which had cauliflower wings, chick’n tenders, and a samosa and tamale cake - the samosa and tamale cakes were absolutely lights out amazing. I wish I had just gotten full orders of those. The atmosphere was super cool and well designed. A really awesome spot - I hope to make it back!

Excellent brunch

Having been here at night I wasn’t thinking of it as a brunch spot. But there I was, on a Saturday at 1 PM, and decided to stop in and try it. The bad wolf sandwich was amazing. The service was nice. It was all good.

Fried food galore

First time here. This was a fun place! Nice ambiance. Sever was a bit cold but warmed up when we ordered our food. She seemed initially irritated we didn’t know grenadine wasn’t vegan. She said it has Cochineal bugs in it. That was news to me as I thought it had red #40 dye which is from petroleum or coal. Anyway, we ordered the Buffalo cauliflower wings, Sweet corn tamale cakes, Steakhouse burger, and the Not so crabby po’ boy. All of the food was pretty good but my favorite was the fries! Will definitely order the Disco fries next time. Hubs loved rockin out to Metallica while eating his meal. The second bathroom was cool as was mentioned in another review. One gripe was the apps were served almost at the same time as the entrees but the service was quick so we couldn’t complain much about that. All in all, a good experience!

Pros: 💯 vegan , The fries!, Fun atmosphere

Cons: Lack of parking, Not many small tables
