Fodor's Expert Review Damn the Weather

In addition to its navy-blue exterior and cheeky name, this small, upscale gastropub is known for simple craft cocktails made by devoted mixologists and a small but spot-on menu of comfort foods. The bar offers several snacks (olives, nuts, fries) and small plates ideal for sharing as well as heartier options including a shrimp po'boy and classic burger with fries at lunch. Damn the Weather's supper menu features specials such as mushroom gumbo and guanciale stew alongside lighter small plates like a green salad, and beets and burrata on farro. Tucked into a historic Pioneer Square building, it's the perfect cozy spot to pop in during a Seattle downpour.
