Firn’s location is a major win—just minutes from multiple music venues in downtown Seattle. The bar is known for quick, attentive service, making it easy to grab a round before doors open.

What People Say

Reviewers rave about Firn’s “expertly mixed cocktails” and “sensational bar staff”. Many mention the inviting ambiance and appreciate the bar’s ability to feel both upscale and unpretentious. Visitors also love the proximity to stadiums and theaters, noting how easy it is to drop in for a few drinks without rushing. Several guests call it a “hidden gem” in Pioneer Square.

Areas for Improvement

Firn doesn’t serve full meals, so if you’re looking for a hearty dinner before your concert, you may want to eat elsewhere first. Seating can be limited during peak hours, so arriving early is a good idea. Also, since it’s a popular spot, the vibe can get lively—great for energy, but not ideal if you’re after total quiet.

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking for a stylish, centrally-located cocktail bar with fast service and great drinks, Firn is a top pick for concert-goers in Seattle.
