Space Needle is all year round open.

We visited the Space Needle on May 11, 2022. There was a small area at the top of the Space Needle, for drinks and sit down eating, that was different from the "snack bar". It was just opposite the elevator lobby that you use to go down to the main level. I believe that the reception desk in this area did have a sign that indicated that reservations were required. I am not certain if this is the full restaurant or if this was an interim location while the main dining area was being rennovated. The best source for this information is to go directly to the Space Neele website. Even if you can't have dinner at the top of the Space Neele it is still worth the visit - the views are amazing (on a clear day).

I was there in late February. The main restaurant was closed but they had a really nice lounge with great drinks, food and incredible views. I did not have a reservation nor did I purchase a package. I walked up to a server, told her I wanted to sit for a drink, and she showed us to a great table. It was mid afternoon, and there were several tables open. This may have had something to do with us getting seated. The food was good. We ordered a really nice tiered appetizer tower. There are some fun drinks as well (smoke from dry ice ). Call and see what they say just to make sure. I did not like the "packages" they offered, but we spent easily $100+ for two of us. It was worth it!!!

Yes it is. I believe it is a "different" version of the full restaurant (at least as of March 2022 when I was there). It's more like a bar/ lounge with great drinks and food. I highly recommend calling ahead or reserving on line. They are busy and it would be a shame to miss it. Can't beat the views.

I believe so

It was not opened in June when I was there. Suggest calling the Space Needle. They're very sensitive to Covid numbers in Seattle.

We had the table as long as we likes. No later seating after the sunset champagne.

I found the line moved quickly. I think you will be fine. If you are concerned move your entry. Have fun Lani

I’m also confused. The website was not very helpful. I emailed customer service and this is the response I received.
