Reception

In Condé Nast Traveler 2018 list of Seattle's fifteen best bars, Jessica Voelker wrote, "You know you've been to a great cocktail bar when you walk out feeling pleasantly disoriented, like you've just been transported to some faraway land. A little bit tiki, a little bit disco, Foreign National is such a bar."
