Verdict: Our expert take on WeRise Wines
Food (8.8 out of 10)
mentioned by 93% of the guests
When it comes to the food, youre in for a treat! With an impressive score of 8.8 and an excellent customer satisfaction of 91%, its clear guests are loving whats on offer. Out of 67 comments, a whopping 61 rave about the delicious food, fantastic wine selection, and even great vegetarian options.
Dont miss the highly praised Suya Wings! However, there are a couple of minor points to consider, with only 2 negative remarks. While the non-alcoholic red wine might taste a bit like grape juice, the main feedback suggests a desire for more plant-based options.
So, if you're strictly vegan, you might find the choices a little limited.

- foodThe atmosphere was also a highlight, rated a 5 out of 5. While the food received a 5 out of 5, my only feedback is that, as a social justice oriented space, I feel there should be more plant based options. It was nice to see plenty of vegetarian options, though.
- wineMy experience at this restaurant was largely positive. I found it to be a great spot with great service and great wine. The atmosphere was also a highlight, rated a 5 out of 5.
- wine selectionThey helped me discover a wine I absolutely loved. I was also impressed by the wide selection of wine from LGBTQ+, women-owned, and BIPOC producers. The atmosphere was great, and the food was also excellent.
- winesMy experience at this restaurant was wonderful! The space is beautiful and inviting, and they serve "wines from diverse and underrepresented winemakers. " I particularly enjoyed my glass of Cabernet Franc by Wolfpack Cellars and the saucy meatballs on polenta.
- food menuSuch a cozy, warm space with very friendly staff. Nice food menu, as well, but I recommend a few vegan options. Otherwise, BRAVO!

- redA fabulous wine bar downtown Seattle that focuses on diversity, featuring excellent wines produced by BIPOC, women, and LGBTQ winemakers! They even have non-alcoholic wines, although the red tastes like grape juice. The white by Naughty was almost on point as a regular Pinot Grigio!
Overall, the food and drink here are a definite highlight, especially if you appreciate a well-curated wine list and tasty appetizers. It's certainly worth a visit for a delicious experience, though strict vegans might want to check the menu beforehand.

My Go-To Place for Every Celebration!
Last night, a small group of us celebrated my husband's 52nd birthday. Since I was introduced to We Rise almost a year ago, this has been my go-to place. The list of wines are amazing and the non-alcoholic options are great.
Last night, the staff was great. Rayna or Raina (sorry for the mis-spelling), they were on top of it, along with the other staff members. I love the intimacy of the space, the food, and the vibe.
My partner had a great time, and we were able to introduce our friends to this spot. I hope We Rise has a long life as long as they want. This is definitely my go-to place, and I hope to be there more often.

Fantastic wines and maker stories
My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! I absolutely loved the wine selection, the stories of the makers, and the message behind it all. The wines we tasted were truly fantastic.
The service and atmosphere were both rated a perfect 5, with a quiet noise level that made conversation easy. We were a group of 3-4 people and experienced no wait time. Vegetarian options were available with a highly recommended vegetarian menu or section.
