50 Best Bars near Bothell

“We went to Amaro Bistro during Seattle Restaurant Week. My burrata antipasto was very tasty. The braised pork shank was tender and excellent. The panna cotta dessert was delicious. Everyone enjoyed their food and the Cuvee B Red Blend was also great!“

“The Jamaican rice bowl was amazing amd the drinks were really good. The mojito actually had fresh lime juice in it which doesn't happen at other restaurants!
The staff are friendly and polite amd very patient with my friend who was indecisive about her choice. Definitely recommend 👌“

“Nice selection of beers, lots of outdoor seating . Should check it out“

“I always get my Salad its the best , all the vegetables are fresh. Its the best salad ive come across in my area. ive had it at least 100xs. It's consistently the best! if you want a great authentic Italian dish, this is your spot.“

“We love Viva Jalisco! It has been our go-to Mexican takeout place for years, and we highly recommend the enchiladas rancheras. Deciding to order takeout and not have to cook during any particular evening sometimes feels like a lovely decision; it is even more lovely when the person who answers the phone at the restaurant calls you “my lady” and helps to manifest delicious enchiladas rancheras.

Tonight was our first evening actually dining in the restaurant, and everyone who came in the door got warm greetings and great service. Our kids can be selective eaters, and the staff were patient, kind, and helpful, with a simple bean and cheese burrito for the win.

We highly recommend this place! It’s a little Bothell gem - good food, and a small town family feel.“

“I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the exceptional service provided by the staff during our visit. The food was truly outstanding. A special acknowledgment goes to David, Ruth, Larry, and Trevor, who went above and beyond to ensure that we had an enjoyable experience with both our meals and drinks. I cannot recommend this establishment highly enough, and I look forward to returning in the future. Thank you for your hospitality!“

“Had dinner at Anderson School's Tavern on the Square. Roasted Brussels sprouts were outstanding. Grilled chicken salad had best dressing I've ever tasted. Entree was asada style NY steak and fries topped with chimichurri. Fries and chimichurri the best. Steak on the other hand was terrible. About a third gristle, the rest cold and tough as leather. I ordered medium rare. It looked just right so it wasnt the cooking, rather just a lousy cut. Nevertheless been to T on S before, loved it and will definitely go back. Just won't order steak again.“

“I discovered U Wine Bar on a walk in the neighborhood, and was immediately interested because it's a wine bar, but then even more interested because it hosts Magic events! It's a great space, good wine, good non-alcoholic options and wonderful people. The owner is also fantastic and friendly and will probably beat you in a Commander game. The environment is relaxed, casual yet classy and I highly recommend for wine and/or Magic.“

“This is a hidden gem! I randomly walked in and after I watched Jane work in the kitchen I was extremely disappointed that I had already eaten. The food looked and smelled phenomenal. I had envy for sure watching others enjoy their food. Jane was so nice and welcoming. I had a great time chatting with her and her staff, including Chase. I can’t wait to visit Seattle again and try her food! It’s on the top of my list! Thank you Jane and team.“

“Wonderful place where meat eaters and vegans can delight in a delicious meal. Great wine section and craft cocktails. Quaint wine shop to bring something home or scoop a gift for a friend on the way to the party. Be sure to try the butter pickles!“

“My favorite place to grab a beer in the city. Excellent selection of imported belgians, plus some local drafts to cover most tastes. The vibe is excellent; if you're looking to drink some strong beer and have a nice conversation where you don't need to shout, this is your place.

No food, but you can grab Carmelo's right around the corner and come back with it (and you should).“

“The ginger beer here is always great and you can sample the flavors before you order.

The prices are the menu are set so that you don't really save any money by ordering a larger size, so order the size you think you can finish.

As of October 2025 there is also a food option on the right side of the store that is selling fried chicken.

There really shouldn't be a tipping option as you are ordering at the counter.“

“Had a great time at this bar, the interior was really awesome, a spooky, eerie vibe! Loved it and definitely recommend stopping in for a drink!“

“The cocktails I had were amazing. Staff was awesome and very generous.“

“A nice little neighborhood bar that's tucked away just off the main drag. One of the few reasonably priced options left open in the area. You'll see a lot of long time locals there which is obviously a good thing.

Would def recommend if you're in the area and looking for a drink.“

“Super cool vibes and mood lighting made Guillotine a nice cocktail stop before a recent trip. We sat at the bar and while I didn't adore our drinks (they were a bit overcomplicated for my taste) we had a nice time and I'd come back for another try.“

“Kind and fun staff. Quiet, indoor/ outdoor area with toys for shy or small dogs. Wide range of local adult beverages. Treat-dispenser gumball machines. Free cabanas for humans to sit, eat snacks and enjoy our bevvies. All-around, always a good time!“

“Cute little bar, and one of the few spots in the area that serves food past 9 pm. However, my main takeaway is that they're mostly a bar which also happens to serve a few food items. They have plenty of drinks, though all their non-alcoholic options are premade—no mocktails or anything. They seem to have table service, but I ended up ordering at the bar after no one came to take my order for a while.

As for food, their smoked mackerel fish tin, which comes with crackers, pickled vegetables, and house-made crème fraîche, is a must-get. The salty fish and crackers balance perfectly with the sour veggies and creamy topping.

Their baguette sandwich is a little disappointing. The flavor rotates weekly, so maybe some weeks are better, but mine was just some turkey, cheese, jalapeños, and mayo. It was pretty dry and chewy; I wouldn't recommend it.

Luckily I came on a Wednesday which is pie night! So I got a delicious slice of blueberry plum crumble pie with homemade whipped cream. I'd definitely recommend trying to snag some pie on a Wednesday!

Overall, this isn't a place I'd recommend for dinner, but it's a great spot to share some drinks and snacks with friends.“

“Side Hustle: Taproom & Experimental Kitchen in Kirkland is a great place to kick back and enjoy locally sourced beers, wines and food. Friendly servers and great atmosphere. Check it out!“

“Friendliest group of folks, feels like a comfy local bar you’d want to hang out at on the regular. Great food, we had the pozole special and it was perfect. Good tap list w new things that you won’t see elsewhere. Solid choice if you’re in the area.“

“This place is one of my favorites, great staff and service, cozy and quite, I like the fact that you can have a conversation unlike other loud places; like horse racing? Check this place for the Kentucky Derby. I never get tire of coming.“

“Such a fantastic little watering hole. Amazing food truck right across the street you can bring in and eat with some rotating local brews. Down to earth crowd of folks and a couple of honest gentlemen behind the bar from what I've gotten to experience. New spot for me and the pup!“

“Very friendly and fun place to drink, play pool, or just kick back and listen to the jukebox.“

“Went for the first time last night and had the best time. After bar hopping, this was definitely my favorite place. The staff was also super helpful helping us get an uber.
The vibe was fun, the people were nice and actually wanted to talk.“

We were very happy with everything. Cozy place with many TVs for sports games.
Friendly service. Our server, Angelina, was awesome!
She was very friendly and knowledgeable. You can ask any questions, and she will have all the answers for you!

We had a great time. Hope you can do the same.“

“It’s a punk rock bar. They have rainier!“

“Passes the vibe check after maybe 3 seconds. Great staff, clean, old school. Love it.“

“Delicious, curteous, fast, and they offer sake flights. Very creative specialities, and the rolls are generously sized. They also clearly label where they use real crab and where they use imitation crab, which is a level of forthrightness I appreciate in a good sushi place.

Vegetarian options: Great vegan sushi rolls too.“

“You get your food elsewhere eat n drink there 🤘🤘🤘“

“LOVED this spot. And the recommendation by Tom was 🔥🔥🔥🔥 definitely coming back!“

“Vinyl records, good beer, warm room friendly faces. It’s all good.“

“EDIT*** Manager reached out and discussed the issues. I am happy with the resolution. I want to preface this review by stating we paid close to $700 a night and stayed in a king suite with courtyard view. We have stayed at many luxury boutique hotels in the pnw and this has not been our favorite by a long shot. The first night we had dinner at the Fireside lounge. Great atmosphere but as soon as we ordered our drinks with dinner the waitress asked us for our card to hold on file. We felt it was a little odd as we have never been asked for a card up front at any restaurant we have ever eaten at. The beds and pillows were very stiff. The 2 nights we stayed there we woke up sore and not well rested as well as paying extra for the courtyard view which was nice but it was rather noisy. We are 39 and are younger with kids but could hear everything outside and in the hall. The second day we went to the hot tub but was not told they do not have changing rooms avail to those that are not getting a treatment. I had to put my clothes and shoes outside in the rain and my husband couldn't use the sauna because he needed to walk our clothes back to the room. The person at the desk stated lockers were only for guests with treatments. This would have been nice to know. We were not impressed with this boutique hotel. The price was high and the treatment from the staff made us feel not welcome. My husband was asked by the hotel staff if we were even guests when he went to the hot tub! I am just completely in shock comparing to other places we have stayed and paying close to $1500 the rooms are about double what they should be.“

“Hang out outside also. Cool cats work there also“

“The food and the people both working living and running it are alll awesome! Also some of my best friends in life are and we’re made here…. Like the hoodie say’s… Good talk!🙏🏽💖🧿“

“The broccoli 🥦 !! Always a favorite“

“This used to be a excellent beer bar serving amazing beer with mediocre food. Then it changed owners and they started serving solid sushi and still serving amazing beer. They changed chefs earlier this year and they are one of the best sushi restaurants who happens to serve amazing beer. They do sell out of specialty dishes (e g., Ankimo: monkfish liver pate) which is how it should be for delicasies.“

“Great ambiance, nice food, good drinks.“

“Great beer and friendly staff. I really liked that the staff is enthusiastic about the beer and love talking about it. I even gave feedback about the tasting order of barrel aged to get the best flavor experience, and I appreciated that they were open to adapting. I'll definitely be back regularly, so long as there is barrel aged beer. ?“

“Incredible authentic Mexican food with a fantastic and friendly staff at very affordable prices. Highly recommend for anyone who loves good Mexican food!!“
