50 Best Bars near Bothell

“I've been going to Amaro for years and it's consistently a solid choice. The ambience is perfect for gathering with friends or a date as it's easy to have a conservation without having to compete with loud music or tables that are too close together. The food prepared is well with quality ingredients and desserts are made in house. If you enjoy the traditional Italian preparation of calamari, this is one of the best renditions I've had outside of Italy. It's a starter, but I've occasionally ordered a double as an entree. Amaro is very accommodating with substitutions. Last night my friend didn't want risotto with her pollo arrosto, so they gave her a vegetable medley instead and it turned out beautifully. For a dinner house of this type, pricing is quite reasonable. The service is attentive and sincere, but often a little disjointed. They serve Caffe Vita, which is my favorite local roaster“

“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.“

“I've always had a nice experience at Viva Jalisco. The restaurant has a comfortable atmosphere with authentic Mexican vibes. The food is always good—I particularly enjoy the Enchiladas Jalisco, the tortilla soup, and the carne asada. Their horchata is also a solid choice. For dessert, the authentic flan is delicious and worth trying. The staff is friendly, and in my experience, the pricing feels reasonable.“

“Saw the fun menu options for the special Spirits of the Seven Seas and decided to go for date night. We got an array of food and beverage options which were all delicious. We'd visited before and had another great time, service was exception from both the server and bartender.“

“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!“

“I wanted to share this for anyone looking for a place to enjoy a cigar. I was informed by staff that cigar smoking is not permitted anywhere on the McMenamins Anderson School property, including the outdoor patios. If you’re specifically looking for a place to relax with a cigar and a drink, this may not be the right choice. Otherwise, the property is beautiful and worth visiting if you don’t plan to smoke.“

“My partner and I came in for our first ever Magic: The Gathering pre release event (beginner’s night) and had a really fun time! The owner Elijah has curated a super chill vibe and atmosphere, and one that is very welcoming and inclusive. I will definitely be coming back for future events!

Also a great selection of beer and wine!“

“Amazing food and staff was great!“

“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!“

“A tiny Asian spot off the Burke‑Gilman that I always assumed was a coffee shop. We walked in and got pleasantly blindsided. The Brussels sprouts were the star! Crispy, saucy, with bacon! Our one dish came out huge, and everything on the nearby tables looked just as tempting. They’re still setting up their new bar area, so no taps yet, but the place already feels like a low‑key gem hiding in plain sight. The waitress was a sweet delight too! I’m going to go back when I’m not riding my bike and I can be full right out the door.“

“Home of the Bills Backers of Seattle. All Buffalo Bills games televised and watched with the Mafia. Everybody is welcome! Whether you live in PNW or just passing through town, come catch a game and support this awsome establishment. Beautiful Lake Union is right across the street.“

“Took my son and his friends for birthday. Fun experience for all! Thanks for a cool experience!“

“Rachel's Ginger Beer is one of my favorite places to grab a ginger beer. My favorite flavor is the Pink Guava. It's the perfect drink to enjoy before you start exploring University Village or as a refreshing treat at the end of your visit.“

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

“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!“

“TL;DR Large selection of unique Belgian beers in a relaxing environment. A departure from what you’ll typically find in the neighborhood.

Great beer. Great service. Great ambiance. I’ve been stopping by here after work the past few weeks to bug the owner and learn more about (what I now know as of reading this listing to be selectively) Belgian beer. The owner is nice, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. This bar, much unlike the rest of its Olive Way counterparts, is a great place to relax and wind down after a long day. If you want a laid-back crash course on Belgian beer this is your spot.“

“Great ambiance, nice food, good drinks.“

“Great Eggs Benedict and Bloody Mary’s @brunch👍🏼👍🏼“

“We attended the Friday night jazz happy hour from 5 to 7 and was not disappointed. The music, food and service all top shelf.
Matt and Jessica went out of their way to make us feel like regulars at this neighborhood bar in Greenlake. Thank you folks for making this a memorable event with my family.“

“Relaxed place with very friendly staff and patrons. They have a drink for every budget, from cheap well drinks to get drunk to high end cocktails. I've had great connections and dates here. If you miss guillotine you're missing out on one of the better bars in seattle.“

“We found this place on a walk around the golf course today! Somehow we wandered off trail and found it.
Great beer, a pool table and local dive bar vibe.
Apparently they’ve been open for 97 years!
Check it out, go for a pint and a game, and support a treasure. Gentrification has closed so many good dive bars. It’s nice to see one hanging on. We will be back!!
A fun afternoon adventure we didn’t plan on, that affirmed our faith in humanity.“

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

“Wow! Perfect dining experience. Friendly staff, amazing food and drinks, fun atmosphere, I highly recommend this place! 🙏“

“I love love love your ciders especially Excelsior. BUT EVEN BETTER IS THE APPLE PIE ONE! Please tell me there will be a six pack for those soon! They are incredible! I can only find them in the variety pack! Will there ever be just an apple pie 6 or 12 pack??? If not - what would it take for my entire family to convince you? Haha Thank you in advance. Huge fan. - Gina“

“A cafe for beer lovers! Quiet place for conversation. Amazing selection of beer.“

“This place was amazing! The staff were the nicest you can imagine - we felt incredibly well cared for and that they were proud of every dish put in front of us. I would return here again just for the warmth and care from the hardworking owners.

We had the Woodlawn platter and it did not disappoint - the variety and quality of the fish was top notch and the mega rolls were yummy and definitely mega size. We had a party of four and this was a good portion for us, I could see you stretching it to 5 no problem especially if you got some other sushi by the piece.

Overall a wonderful experience and I'll definitely be back! ❣“

“Excellent service!!!! Great hot plates!!“

“My favorite bar in the neighborhood to catch up with a friend. It’s just so cozy and has a really nice vibe. Bartenders are great, drinks are really good. Snacks and food are solid too.

Be warned that is very small. Good for a a few folks but if you’re trying to bring 5-6 not many seating options.“

“Went to the soft launch tonight and honestly have no critiques food was so delicious and the drinks too! Friendly service an amazing atmosphere 12 out of 10 recommend“

“I went with my friends a couple weeks ago and had the nicest time. I had the Brick Chicken and mash potatoes and it was delicious. the Brownie was oohie gooie good too. Our waitress, Mariah, was so fun and helpful. The whole dinner was unexpectedly good :). I'm writing this here now because, I am still thinking about how good it was and wondering how soon is too soon to go back :). Thanks Mariah and Hollywood Tavern :)“

“The wash is one of my favorite places in Seattle. The staff is welcoming and the drinks hit. Vibe is fun with some interesting architecture with bar, lounge and booth seating.
Where this place really shines is its eclectic events, gatherings and live performances. This is a safe space for queers and creatives to express and share joy.
Also though it’s not specifically advertised as one, this one of my favorite sandwich spots. No b sides“

“Friendly staff they are welcoming and approachable. Reasonable prices. Great atmosphere. Wine selections are amazing.“

“A WONDERFUL AFFAIR:

Went to see their 2nd showing, of they 1st Double Feature RHPS!
It was like walking into a castle,, hidden inside a brick building!!
Tawnee and Hillary were the greatest Barkeep & Host. Unlisted's own Magenta & Columbia!!!
I most definitely shall return to peruse the historic place and attend another movie night!!¡¡!!“

“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!🙏🏽💖🧿“

“Great Thai food, but the regular menu had me wondering if I accidentally walked into TAO Las Vegas. 😅 $28 for pineapple fried rice in a cafe style place?

Prices on the menu are exorbitant for the place and the plate

Liked their large vegetarian options so I will be frequently visiting this place until they increase the prices

The lunch menu is the real MVP, affordable, comes with a complimentary salad, and the mint & tamarind dressing is delicious. Without the lunch specials, this review would’ve lost a few stars 😅“
