Editorial Review for Satellite Lounge – by Silja J.A. Talvi
The Scene
An offshoot of the well-worn Comet Tavern, the Satellite Lounge doesn't pretend to be anything other than what it is--a decent place to grab a drink, to eat some pub-style food (including a surprising number of veggie options), and to catch up on gossip with Capitol Hill denizens. Eclectic, local art graces the walls, but there's no particular theme here; appropriately, the crowd varies night to night. The furniture is old and placed close together--if you're looking for privacy or romance, go elsewhere.
The Draw
There's no snobbery to speak of at this bar, which welcomes a very diverse clientele. Regardless, most everyone keeps to himself or herself, making this an acceptable option for a late-night cocktail. For Seattleites on a budget, the nightly specials are hard to beat. The best is on Wednesdays, when all burgers are 2-for-1 ($7.25), with $2.25 microbrews.

I lived on Capitol Hill for four years, and many a happy hour and weekend night was spent at the Satellite. It was cheap, dark, the food was great, and characters entertaining. Went back this weekend after having been away from Seattle for almost three years to find TABLE CLOTHES on the tables, plasma screens on the wall, a DJ playing DISCO, and ADEQUATE LIGHTING. Sigh. I guess things change. To the Satellite's credit, the drinks were still pretty cheap.

After years of hearing about this joint my boyfriend and I wondered in on Sunday afternoon. Brunch ends at 3:00 p.m. $10.00 for eggs benedict and a mimosa, unreal. $22.00 and we where out the door. Prices are right on and the atmosphere extremely funky. We are planning to watch the Seahawk games at this bar.
Pros: Best Bloody Mary (bartender named Brian)
Cons: can't think of one...we are going back to find some bad things....(-:
