Nice bar with great food! The staff are friendly and helpful. The chicken sandwich was cooked to perfection and the curly fries made it perfect. The chicken wraps were crispy and delicious. End up ordering some hand cut fries and they were great as well.
There are a variety of drinks available and my favorite was a dirty gin martini. All the drinks were crafted beautifully.
I enjoyed this place. It's low key and had a friendly atmosphere downtown. I will be back! - 27606010/6/2022
Dropped in here for a afternoon cocktail. Relaxed bar with a comfy back seating area overlooking the water.
It was a pretty quiet little retreat when we stepped in. Came back later for a late night snack. Pretty simple menu Just got some fries and a BLT but it hit the spot.
If you're looking for a cozy hideaway this might be your jam - Ashley W.Downtown, Seattle, WA94119/7/2022
The best bar I have ever been too. Love the owners and all the bartenders. Amazing food, drinks, and over all great atmosphere.

For a place with so many good reviews, there are very few customers ever. The bartenders have the personality of a dead fish. What used to be a gay bar for literally decades albeit at a different location, this place isn't even remotely gay. Where there used to be half a dozen gay bars downtown in the 80's and 90's, this was the last one. There are now none. They have gone out of their way to scrub any remnants that this was once gay. You will find more rainbow flags outside churches than you will here. There are none. Sad
3/15/2022Previous reviewSonya's had a long history of being a gay bar. Now there is zero indication of that. In fact it looks like Imo that they want to distance themselves from that past. Christ, even the biscuit Bitch next door has a rainbow flag. I'll return when they are playing RuPaul's drag race rather than basketball games. Sad

After hiking up from the 5 pm ferry from Victoria headed for our hotel, we were famished. Two people out front told us the food was great. They were right. Try the Quesadilla Tinga! Locals and travelers are welcome here. Owner gave us the scoop on how they survived the COVID shutdowns. View of the water from back room.

I succumbed to the tinder scene and obliged to meet up for a cocktail. Non committal, lots of outs. The dude never showed, classic Seattle am I right? (fuck you Theodore). Stumbled across this hidden gem in a apathy yet fully dressed in sas. Maybe I was I loneliest girl to walk into that bar that night but Ron, Ron changed everything. He shook that martini with the vigor and sincerity that I needed. Perfectly dirty, the extra filth came with his eyes wink wink. He was darty with his eyes, but the glimmer kept me around. Strixtly professional, nothing below the belt. I'd come back for Ron. Call me xoxo

Walking in after the Seahawks game looking for a night cap- Sonya's seemed like a good idea. Sadly the surly bartender made our one experience quite uncomfortable. Rude, curt and otherwise unpleasant.
Wish I would have gotten his name so no one else gets blamed for this crappy review.
