Tervelli Ultralounge

Been coming here for a while, the staff has almost fully changed over and the great staff has left besides Mike (bartender). Yes that means Victoria is no longer there. Some of the new staff comes across and being stuck up and not wanting to really be there. The new owners are working on the staffing so i still hold out hope.
The food is alright, the burger is not made fresh and i am pretty sure the pasta isn’t either as you can see boxes of it sitting in the kitchen. But saying that the pesto spaghetti is awesome but the portion is small considering the price. They do not server red bull here so if you want a red bull vodka you will get an energy drink out of the tap gun and it is not very good.
The atmosphere is classy and modern but the Dj they have is not good. He will go from top 40’s where people are dancing to Euro pop and will leave it there even if the dance floor empties. It is also a playlist so if you are there as much as I am you will know what is coming up. The bar at night has almost all of the lights off and makes it seem like they are wanting to be a full dance club but when there is no one in there i always want the lights brighter, just so you can see what it going on. If you are with a group before 8 you can usually get your ipod/​phone plugged in so you can your group can listen to what every playlist you want. If it is empty the music is still turned all the way up like it would be if it was packed and the system is missing bass.

Going here tonight… hope its good!
The place is not too bad. Changing my rating to a 3. just because it is really small.
And! The owner or whatever made me take my hat off while others were still wearing there’s… lol.
Overall a good spot to go.

Hipster, trendy, modern, and swanky would be the best words to discribe the atmosphere here. I love how they use lights and white furnature to make the feel of the lounge area pop. Great place to bring friends to hangout for a drink.

Hate to say I had a horrible first impression here. Thought it was pretty cool for like the first 15 minutes but not much longer than that.
Came here with one of my girlfriends for a few drinks. Lots of other Unilocalers have already reviewed the ambiance and décor, so I’ll skip over that. Started out as an okay evening, got there a little before 10pm on a Friday, left by 11:30pm. When it wasn’t busy, the service was a solid 4 stars. Friendly, good-​looking staff, etc. BUT:
1. The air conditioning was apparently broken and it was way too warm in the bar. Apparently no one thought of putting a fan our two around the bar. Also, small note, our table was sticky and never got wiped when we sat down. (And, no, it was not «too busy» to get to around the time we arrived.)
2. Some obnoxious bros sat at the table next to us (and btw the bar was FILLED with them). And not only did they make us uncomfortable because they kept looking over at the table and trying to hit on us (then every other female at the bar after), they also ordered bottle service and so we got completely ignored by waitstaff after that point.
3. Drinks were not at all strong. Ordered a fancy version of a vodka pineapple ($ 7) and couldn’t taste a hint of alcohol. The appletini my friend ordered was decent though.
4. Music was so loud that, even though we were sitting at the table furthest from the DJ, we still had to sit right next to each other and almost yell the entire time.
5. Adding to #2, it took us forever to order our second drink. I don’t think the place was «too busy» or had «not enough staff» but we waited for a solid 10 minutes after our first round was done to even get a waitress to stop flirting with the bros and come over to us. JK, I mean… after 10 minutes I had to ask another waitress to get us drinks. (She was actually super nice.) But after 15 minutes of WAITING for that drink to come, we gave up and went to close the tab.
6. I said I never got the second round we ordered, and the (second) waitress apologized profusely, so I said I just wanted to pay for the first round and head out. But when I got the bill, it had 4 drinks on it. So I had to wait SOME MORE for them to fix the tab (because it originally included the second round of drinks we never got).
Anyway, it seems like it would be a nice venue during the day, maybe for happy hour or something. But I can’t say this would be my first stop some other weekend night out. And I wouldn’t recommend it to you unless you like dealing with drunk bros slime-​ing on you, and average drinks and inconsistent service. Sorry!

What I like about this place is no cover. Other than that, this place is pretty bad. Drinks are way overpriced and every time I get a drink I can even drink it because it tastes like crap. They can’t even make a good touchdown. Even their beer on tap tastes weird. The DJ seems like he doesn’t know what he’s doing. Sounds like he just changes his songs on his iPod. I get dragged here and I never will go on my own.

It looks like others have had a blast here, so perhaps I just went on an off night? Maybe.
Ok, get through the door and I can’t hear myself think. Seriously, I had to basically yell in my date’s ear the entire time. Besides that, it took a while to flag down the bartender, the videos on the screen had absolutely nothing to do with the songs, and the clientele was not what I would expect from what had appeared to be a hip club. I don’t go out to clubs to see the dance floor populated with maybe 7 people, half of whom are middle-​aged men who need a visit from Stacy and Clinton.

We really enjoyed this place! Cozy and comfortable atmosphere and reminiscent of an old style piano lounge. The drinks were great and the food from next door’s Olive You was tasty not to mention the reasonable prices on their happy hour menu. I’d surely come back to this place next time.

The name of the restaurant printed on a piece of paper on the door should’ve tipped us off…
We decided to check out Tervelli last night because we had a
coupon. Note that this review is for dinner, not for the drinking/​lounge scene. Although it was relatively early on a January Tuesday night in Kirkland, the place was pretty full – it looked like there was some sort of company event going on.
No one seated or greeted us when we arrived – I guess you find your own seat. The thumping music and disco lights at 7:45pm makes for somewhat unsettling dining on the couch in the corner – which also was awkward to eat from with the low table (we ended up moving closer to the window). After waiting for about 10 minutes, the waitress finally came over to ask us what we wanted to drink… when we asked for a menu she seemed somewhat surprised. She finally found a few pieces of paper – one was a course menu which didn’t have any prices on it and that came from who-knows-where…she took that one back.
After waiting close to another 10 minutes, our waitress finally came back, and although she seemed somewhat distracted, she did apologize for the disorganization. (There were like 3 – 5 people working there, but it wasn’t really clear what 3 of the guys were doing, some of the people working there seemed to be loitering about…) We finally put in our order, and I gave our server the
coupon. When she came back with our drinks (stiff, which was appreciated), she told us that they couldn’t honor our
coupon – she told us the owner had been trying to reach
but apparently couldn’t get the coupon taken off (weird? how do you deactivate a coupon that you’ve already sold?). We were really disappointed – we wouldn’t have come here without the coupon, and certainly wouldn’t have stayed after the first few minutes once we experienced the scene inside. To their credit, they did offer us a free appetizer (although it came with the stipulation that we had to spend $ 40), which we didn’t really have a choice but to accept (good thing we were planning on ordering an appetizer anyway!). The appetizer came out fairly quickly… but the utensils came after the food. It was good, warm spinach/​artichoke dip with pita bread. For our main dishes, we got pasta and chicken marsala… neither were impressive but
were edible (we were kind of worried about trying the gyros/​steak there). We had to ask for knives, however, and ended up waiting another 5 minutes or so to eat once our food arrived because we didn’t have knives. They also didn’t even have real napkins… just paper towels.
Moral of the story – avoid going to dinner with places that put their name on a piece of paper outside the door. It appears this place has just undergone a change of management or is in the middle of serious rehaul… I would definitely advise against going until they figure their sh*t out. At least don’t go for dinner… especially with a
coupon!

We had a great time here for my wife’s birthday! Victoria is AMAZING… she took great care of us and she even ordered in my favorite Vodka for the party! We will definitely be back again!

Great UYE, hosted by some pretty amazing folks Victoria and Heidi. DJ was relevant and up to date with boom swelling tracks. Turkish appetizers were AMAZING, savory, and filling. Décor is a fun mix of Vegas design meets minimal reductivism –sort of what you might experience on a Med Riviera. Best club on the eastside, imo.

Nice swanky lounge on the Eastside! Fabulous dance floor, nice comfy seating area, great bartenders (yay!!!). Small space but definitely worth it. It’s right next door to Olive You (which used to be in Seattle’s Greenwood but has since moved to Kirkland after the fire). Great dj, fun people, nice atmosphere and an enjoyable evening thanks to Tervelli!

I was going to use the adjective «swanky».
A lot.
But it’s been used a lot already by others, describing this hip lounge.
With good reason.
This lounge has über-​contemporary, over-​stuffed seating, a fireplace the cranks out the heat, dim and seductive lighting, a beautiful undulating bar — and a bartender who makes great drinks. Really, what more can one ask for?
A dance floor? Check.
A dj, video screen and disco ball? Check.
A secluded seating niche or two? Check.
Close proximity to a great restaurant? Check. (Olive You is attached, and their food and décor there are wonderful).
This lounge is small and I walked by the front door a few times, not realizing that was the entrance (it’s easy to miss the signage), but it’s intimate, welcoming, sexy and, yes, swanky, all at once. Hubby and I will definately be back!

I don’t go out to Kirkland as much as I should but Tervelli Ultralounge would get me to come back because this place is über sexy!
We had an UYE here hosted by the two gorgeous Unilocaler Victoria T & Heidi P. Thank you girls for a fun evening.
The décor is smaller — intimate — swank — sexy — dim lighting — with huge comfy soft sofas accenting the walls. Huge bar area with pretty bartenders that make stiff drinks which is all good in my book. I enjoyed the wine and this alcoholic specialty cocktail that taste like an Arnold Palmer.
I heard the food is pretty good because Tervelli shares the chef with Olive. I didn’t get a chance to eat anything because the food was gone when I got here. I heard fantastic things about their Happy Hour bites so this gives me another reason to come back to try the food.
The dance floor was pretty nice, great setup with the lights so it can be multi use for other cross promotions. I notice a screen that can be used for different entertainment things even Veejays.
Only thing I didn’t like was the location of the Disc jockey which was hidden in a square wall reminisce of a DJ at a Deja Vu Stripper club. This and not trying out the food is why I couldn’t give this place five stars.
Overall, I would come back. This place has potential so go check Tervelli out!
Pro Tip: All day Happy Hour on Sunday and Monday. Only street parking or park near Bank of America.

First time to Tervelli’s, I LOVED it. A Cozy, Sweet and sexy feel. Awesome drinks. Great food. Friendly people. Defiantly will go back very soon.

Wooooow, was what I thought as I approached the scene. This is one plush and swank lounge. Lounges aren’t typically my thing but I figure what the hell, Kirkland isn’t common in my travel and fellow Unilocalers Heidi P and Victoria were hosting. =D Thank you again ladies! The Unilocaler specialty drink was cool and rather strong. The small bites were gone, so I made an exit not too long after entering to find some dinner nearby. It was also funny entering the restroom and abruptly getting classical music blasted. ;)

Swank
Sexy
Strong drinks
It is small and unassuming from the outside but once inside, small becomes intimate and unassuming becomes unpretentious.
Thanks much to Victoria and Heidi for putting together an event to lure us in here.
I live right down the street and have never made it in, and a nice place like this seems well suited to Kirkland. The Eastside has a rough time having any sort of «club» or «lounge» …we desperately need them for nightlife, but then they never seem to last very long when they are there. Even from «across the bridge» Seattle is too much competition. I certainly hope this is not ever the fate of Tervelli.
Javier, behind the bar, is awesome and doesn’t lighten his pours. Probably some of the better drinks I’ve had in Kirkland proper.
Of all the places I’ve been that this lounge reminisces of, or is like, Tervelli has pulled it off the best. They used and have decorated the space well, so rather than being small and clunky, it’s smooth and inviting.
And I hear HH is *all day* Monday? …guess who’s going back sooner than she thought?

Tervelli is small but very swanky and definitely lives up to its name as an ultra lounge. The décor is very sexy and inviting. The drinks are strong and the d.j.‘s are awesome. It definitely has a European feel to it, and is a nice change of pace from the typical Seattle club scene.
Happy hour is definitely the way to go. Mondays it’s all day, and you can’t beat that! The portobello mushroom appetizer is so good. The sliced mushrooms are in a cream sauce and topped with Gorgonzola. Make sure you ask for pita bread to go with it. Also the beef skewers are out of this world, and I usually hate skewers. The meat is marinated and very tender. Another great choice is the baked bri with honey and apples.
Overall, everything I’ve tried has been absolutely delicious. The cocktails are strong and the atmosphere is the best Kirkland has to offer!

This is Kirkland and this is an «ultralounge». So you have to know off the bat the kind of atmosphere you’re going in to. This isn’t a dive bar.
The space is nice. Pretty swanky for Seattle standards, but comfortable. Kind of small, but it works. Really nice bar.
The couple times I’ve been there, the staff was awesome. Very friendly bartenders and servers. These people actually look like they love their job! And the drinks were delicious.
We ordered some small plates during happy hour. Decently priced, and surprisingly really good. I think the food comes from Olive You next door? Doesn’t matter though, it was great.
The crowd can get a little… douchy on weekend nights. But like I said, it’s Kirkland and it’s an Ultralounge. You just kind of expect that.
All in all, I dig this place for a fun night out!

I’ve given this place two chances to impress me and it failed miserably both times so I’ve given up. I’ve really really wanted to like you Tervelli since there are no other lounges within walking distance but you’ve let me down.
Trip #1: We accidentally hit Tervelli on a night they were having a singles meetup event. For OLD people. Think of 100 or so 55+ folks in the bar. So not cool. After guys who were old enough to be my dad leered our way, we left pronto.
Trip #2: Last night. I should have known better to stop in here on St. Patty’s Day after we had been at Wilde Rover. This place appeared to be grounds for some Middle Eastern/​Pakistani drug deals.
The place looks nice. Huge chandeliers from the ceiling, cozy sofas and fireplaces but that’s not enough. You’ve gotta have the right atmosphere and you’ve ruined it for me. Even your cheap happy hour ($ 3 drafts) isn’t enough to convince me to come back.
Knowing the track record of this location — I’m sure it’s not long before you turn into something else. That’s when I’ll be back!

Ok, I’ve got to get myself to Kirkland more often. As someone who lives in downtown Seattle I’m spoiled by the close proximity of lots of swanky lounges, clubs, bars and restaurants. Normally when I think of Kirkland I think of the burbs or all of the crazy crosswalks with the orange flags but tonight I’m thinking of Tervelli!
I came here to eat dinner next door at Olive You (also amazing!) and was stunned when I walked past this new lounge en route to dinner. Huge, soft, sexy cushioned sofas line the walls, chic chandeliers hang from the ceiling, there’s a fireplace, some super modern chairs and tables, a sleek bar and a list of amazing cocktails!
Whether you’re here for a Pimm’s Cup, a Sazerac or any of their fab specialty cocktails, I’m sure you’ll have as great a time as I did. After eating my dinner I rushed into Tervelli to see what I was missing. Lots of fun folks hanging out and the bartender told me they have live music, DJ nights and all types of fun events. Can’t wait to come back on a weekend and see how much more fun it is! OH and Weds is ladies night. Gals drinks half off!
