The editorial take
Suite Restaurant & Lounge runs a serious beverage program in: a 12-cocktail list with Woodinville Whiskey and Monkey 47 Gin, a zero-proof section with Seedlip-based mocktails, and a wine list that climbs from $13 glasses to Opus One. Local draft beers and premium spirit upgrades round out the range. Guests praise the cocktails as well-crafted and flavorful.
- What should I order?
- Start with the 'Lift You Up!' (vodka or tequila, cold brew espresso) or 'Expense It!' (Woodinville Whiskey, orange simple syrup, Filthy Black Cherries). For wine, try the Klipsun Red Blend from Red Mountain or splurge on Col Solare. A zero-proof 'Notas de Agave Paloma' is a solid non-alcoholic choice.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Cocktail enthusiasts seeking creative, premium-spirit drinks, wine lovers exploring Pacific Northwest and Napa labels, and groups with mixed drinking preferences—the zero-proof menu and non-alcoholic beers cover designated drivers. Patio seekers will also find a welcoming setting.
- When should I go?
- Happy hour is mentioned for discounted drinks and bites, making it a good time for a casual visit. Evening lounge service suits those wanting the full cocktail and wine experience.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Specialty cocktails run $18–$36, zero-proof drinks $12–$14, bottled beer $6–$9, and wine from $13 a glass to $810 a bottle. Premium spirit upgrades add $3. House wine is $7.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The program stands out for its breadth: an ambitious cocktail list with premium spirits, a separate zero-proof section, a wine list spanning everyday to cult bottles, and local craft beer. The $3 premium spirit upgrade is a practical touch.
