Oliver’s

About Us

Since 1976, Oliver’s has been serving up some of the best cocktails in Seattle. Famous for our signature martini, we’ve spent nearly five decades perfecting the art of a well-shaken drink inside the historic Mayflower Park Hotel. Today, Oliver’s is more than just a cocktail lounge — we welcome guests for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, making it a gathering place from morning to night. Join us for our popular happy hour to enjoy handcrafted cocktails and savory bites in the heart of downtown Seattle.

Opened in 1976 and located off the lobby of the historic Mayflower Park Hotel, Oliver's has grown to become one of the best bars in Seattle and is home to the renowned "International Martini Classic Challenge". Oliver's holds the title for Seattle's "Best Classic", as well as having won the titles for Best Specialty Martini and Best International Classic Martini.

Timeless Seattle Lounge

Our History

During prohibition, the site which is now known as Oliver's was occupied by one of the city's first Bartell Drug Stores. In 1933, a company that would come to be known as Westin (Western International) bought the hotel and later put in the lounge which was to become one of Seattle's favorite night spots. The Carousel Room had a circus theme, complete with antique carousel horses.

Today you can relax to the sounds of contemporary jazz and the sights of the bustling city while enjoying delicious light meals and your favorite beverages.
