Black Bottle is a deliberate attempt at a gastropub and therefore it serves a carefully selected, reasonably priced, and uniformly delicious small-plates menu (as opposed to the overly heavy or overly ambitious menus found in so many upscale bars). The interior is simple—just a few black chairs and tables, and wood floors—but sleek. Because it's on the fringe of Belltown, it gets crowded on weekends, but it's less of a see-and-be-seen scene and more of a place for good friends to gather. There's a limited selection of beers on tap, but the wine list is good.

i've been there several times in the past few months and always had a great time. food especially the hangar steak is very tasty. some better than average red wines on the menu also. staff has always been friendly and timely. the place is very busy and i think it is one of the really good gastropubs in belltown.
