Herb & Bitter Public House

Superb bar with great food and a fantastic happy hour. Friendly, knowledgeable bartenders who love to nerd out over cocktails with guests who are curious about the components of the drinks. The table service in my experience is really hit or miss, mostly a miss, so I always try to sit at the bar.

I have worked in restaurants for 20 plus years so i have a reservation for my expectations of the food i am giving a try. The presentation, the timing was a cut above. I saw grapes on my savory plate. I questioned that. I was pleasanty suprised by the umami i experienced. I am excited to try something different next visit when i am in town. It wasnt break the bank pricey. Im nobody special but, it definately gets my stamp of approval and, i would send my friends & family here for sure.

Visited here about 6 years ago prior to Covid. We really enjoyed everything about the place. This trip through Seattle on the way to an Alaskan cruise we decided to see if it was still in business. Thankfully it is! We enjoyed two apps, a slice of pizza, and two cocktails. Our server was Kayla who was excellent, friendly, and efficient. She was constantly checking to see that we had what we wanted and that everything was tasting good which it did. Our apps where the cheesy garlic foccacia and the olives. Never had warmed olives and loved it. The foccia was flavor packed and moist - excellent and will order again if I am ever in Seattle again. The cocktails we had where The Old Cuban (Mojito inspired) and the Black Manhattan. Both excellent drinks! The pepperoni slice was every bit as good as bit was 6 years ago. The price for the slice is a bargain for its size and flavor. Love Rocco's and was glad to revisit after 6 years! Thank you, Kayla for doing such a great job of serving us and making our return visit a pleasurable experience.

Loved the dining experience. Food was delicious. Don't skip the arugula salad or the pepperoni pizza. Expertly crafted salad with just the right amount of components. Returned during travel to repeat the salad. It was still extremely delicious! Would return again and again. Good selection of crafty drinks.

A neat little spot with lots of unique pizzas and good gluten free pizza options in Seattle. I wish I had photos of the decor because the inside is very cool with vintage signs and bottles and an open kitchen so you can see them cooking. They do warn you that there’s a lot of flour in the air so it might not be the safest for gluten free.

My friends and I stopped by here on a Saturday night and we were not disappointed. It was a little loud but the atmosphere and the food definitely made up for it. The sizes are huge and the flavor is even bigger!!

Rocco’s was just supposed to be a location for my pizza fix. However, it went far beyond expectations in food, service, and environment. The pizza was some of the best I ever had great size and crisp, something that should be reviewed by Barstool Presidente Dave. What was even more shocking is a very unique elegant restaurant making a night out for pizza feel like much much more. The service was incredible and gave such great recommendations on pairing drinks with food. I can’t imagine anyone disliking anything. This will be my first stop when I return to Seattle

The vibes are right on point for a cocktail with delicious appetizers or a pizza slice. The stuffed garlic bread is a must and the espresso martini may just be the best ive ever had. The blueberry tart ale is also a must try and something i will be hopefully returning to if they keep it as its seattle made! Beautiful eating area nice lighting and comfy seats. A plus is the cocktail menus are kids books!

I loved the vibe of this place. When we walked in we were instantly greeted by two different staff members which I love cause it’s great customer service when people let you know you are seen, even if they aren’t quite ready for you yet. I hate when I go into a restaurant and I feel like I am annoying them by being there lol this place does not make you feel like that at all. Omar was our server and was absolutely fantastic. The ice cold frosty glasses with delicious beer really hit it off. We got the house pickle plate and it was soooo good so crispy and fresh. We got a couple slices of pepperoni and it was to die for. I loved how clean the establishment was. Can’t wait to be back next time we visit Seattle.

Had a fantastic lunch here. Seated immediately; great service! The pizza and salad were delicious.. that flavorful pizza crust and the perfect amount of dressing on the salad. 10/10. The atmosphere is cozy and I appreciated the unique Happy Hour menu and billfold! We’ll be back.

What an amazing delightful experience we had! The food was outstanding! We got the Zucchini Fritters, Saffron Arancini and smoked salmon puffs... and what a delight! I loved the large crusted parmesan sheet on top of the arancini. Staff is awesome and atmosphere is rockin'!

If you're heading out to the other side of Capitol Hill (the quiet side) and need a quick bite and a cocktail, then Herb & Bitter Public House is a spot to try. The list of spirits is extensive and they even have vintage spirits from the 70s and 80s if you are in the mood to spend a little extra on a unique cocktail experience. The food here is really good too. If you are just killing time, the truffle fries are a great snack, but the entrees are great as well. The bar seating is comfortable and the wall of bottles makes the environment feel like a speakeasy, but it's also fun to sit all the way in the back in the almost sun room.

Excellent bar/restaurant that is upscale and stylish while still retaining a casual vibe- drink prices are reasonable and the atmosphere is very pleasant. Definitely one of the better bars in Capitol Hill to visit (especially if you are looking for a more upscale/mature vibe than a lot of the other bars in Capitol Hill)

Walked in here shortly after opening and was astounded by the beautiful decor, it’s like every angle is aesthetically pleasing. Food and drink were excellent and extra affordable during happy hour, the staff was polite and very knowledgeable of their menu and offerings. Shout out to the bartenders who curated the selection flight of amaros, they were all uniquely delicious - and bonus points for having underberg and a actual variety of different beers. 10/10 approved by me industries.

Incredible restaurant week menu-- five courses, lots of options, and absolutely delicious. Probably the best one I've seen; it was clear they'd put a lot of effort into it. Interesting and extensive cocktail list; restaurant week menu included suggested apertifs, cocktail, and wine pairings. Intimate place, seems like a good place for a date. Kitchen closes an hour before the bar. They seem very accommodating to walk ins, but for a larger group I'd highly suggest to make a reservation / give them a heads up considering the intimate nature of the place and staff volume. Overall, I would recommend and will likely return.

I had a really great date night here! I enjoyed the variety of amaros available. The food was fantastic! We got the wild mushrooms, brussels sprouts and spicy tacos. The food was fairly priced and it looks like their prices have actually come down in the last year which is great in this economy. Ivan gave great service and made delicious cocktails! I’ll definitely be back :)

Fell in love with this place! The vibe is cozy, stylish and full of good energy. We did the 5course menu and everything was insanely good. The team was so sweet, they even brought us hot water with lemon because we were freezing after long walk. Highly recommend for a fun dining or bar night in Seattle!

Easily the best pizza I have ever had. I am going to think about this pizza and wish Rocco’s was near me!! The real is beautiful, the staff so friendly and welcoming, great experience all around. Try the banh mi pizza, it is out of this world!! The pizza is huge and we are more than happy to have leftovers.

The atmosphere is relaxed and slightly elevated feeling, I went. At night and the room was dimly lit with a candle on each table. The service was very attentive, knowledgeable and kind. The staff outside was friendly and chatty. We ordered 3 slices and they were large, delicious and fairly priced. I’m still thinking about this pizza and always wanting to go back.

Interesting and tasty menu. Cocktails were the star. Cool vibe inside and out in the partially covered patio.

Noise level Moderate noise Seating type indoor dining area, bar area, outdoor patio/terrace, booth seating

Probably my favorite bar/restaurant in Capitol Hill. Inventive cocktails that can stand up to any other specialty cocktail bar in the neighborhood. Creative kitchen that turns out delicious food. Awesome classy vibes to boot. Can’t beat this place.
