More Than a Nightspot Suite Restaurant Lounge Gives Back

Bellevue, WALocal News

Suite Restaurant / Lounge in Bellevue is redefining the nightlife experience by positioning itself as a community-oriented establishment rather than just a party venue. Owner Lisa Olson emphasizes the importance of charitable work, particularly through events like Yappy Hour, featuring adoptable pets from Motley Zoo Animal Rescue. This event promotes animal adoption and allows patrons to contribute to the cause by enjoying cocktails, with a portion of sales benefiting the rescue. Last year, Suite raised close to $20,000 through these happy hour events, showcasing its impact on animal welfare. Additionally, the restaurant hosts an annual art and wine auction to support Girls Giving Back, raising between $20,000 to $40,000 annually to improve conditions in homeless shelters.

Olson stresses that Suite is more than just a nightlife venue, offering delicious food and a perfect setting for private gatherings. Every Wednesday, guests can enjoy half-priced bottles of wine, encouraging regular patronage. With a focus on community and social responsibility, Suite Restaurant / Lounge is committed to being a multifaceted venue that caters to various needs while making a positive impact.
