went to stratus lounge for happy hour which is between 5-7pm… the waitstaff was SLOW and so rude that it was appaling… our group was there for 2 full hours and our waiter only came over three times, and after ordering drinks it took 20 minutes for them to come, and then it took 30 minutes for us to get our bill after requesting it!! we tried to speak to the manager about how slow and unattentive our waiter was, and he totally blew us off- did not care at all that even though we were paying customers, that we were unhappy with our service… after we made a point of talking to the manager the other waitresses became highly disprespectful and snotty, giving us dirty looks while walking by the table and speaking loudly about us while within earshot… if i were the manager of that establishment i would be mortified at how unbelievably rude my employees were!! we would not have left a tip whatsoever- as none was deserved- except for the fact that a 20% gratuity is already added into your tab!! it was unbelieveable… the ONLY plus to this venue is the view, but otherwise the drinks are mediocre and overpriced, and you can get better service from the teenagers working at macdonald’s… don’t waste your time on these snobs!!

A very classy lounge at the top of the Columbia Tower. The Stratus Lounge is located on floors 75 and 76 of the building. It is for members only so you need to know someone to get in, or you can join for a fee. A group of coworkers and I came here after work. This place has a panoramic 360 view of all of Seattle from the tallest skyscraper in the city. It is truly amazing and the best time to go is at sunset. The lounge is a classy joint, with mostly business people, lawyers, etc. who come here for dinner or drinks after work. The bar is great and has everything you need – great ambience, great food, great happy hour pricing and good service.

I’m thinking about joining this place some day :-)
