50 Best Pubs 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“

“This is a wonderful restaurant with great servers and amazing food. I will definitely be back“

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

“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 have to say, of everybody that tends at this bar Nicole stands out in a way that can’t be ignored. She is consistent and extremely hard working. Each and every time I come up she is ready to go with a pleasant smile on her face. She does it all. There is a few tenders here that talk smack about people I know and are less than ready to do their job. Nicole truly stands out. She deserves a raise and Bert’s tavern truly does not know the talents that have acquired. BRAVO.“

“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 was searching for a place to host up to 60 people for a reunion/get-together that was extremely kid-friendly and Nui Nui came through! Miles Williams, the manager, was great to work with and very patient with our party that encompassed not only adults, but kids ages 14 to 4 weeks.

The outside patio was a great place for the kids to be and (unbeknownst to me) the indoor pool was also fun for a lot of the kids to enjoy!

The food was delicious and unique, with something for every pallet. I highly recommend it for your party needs!“

“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.“

“A fun place to go for beer and golf.“

“I visited on recommendation from a friend who knows I'd like the place and I must say, I had an absolutely loved the place! Friendly staff, cozy atmosphere, and the place feels very friendly with lots of nice art and fun stickers all over the place. As a furry from Salt Lake City Utah, I would absolutely visit again on another visit. You guys nailed it!“

“The best Caprese Sandwich!“

“This place is AWESOME! Great selection of games and good. The staff is super nice.“

“Killer Tap list, dog-friendly outdoor patio, and delicious food!“

“As bar food goes, this place ranks on top. Finding anything in Seattle that isn't over priced is difficult. Good fried seafood at a great price in a small neighborhood bar.“

“This is clearly a place the locals go. Many people seemed to know each other, and was pretty full by 6pm on Friday night. The staff were super friendly and the food was good. Nice selection of beers (NA options as well). You have to order at the bar (not a big deal) and depending on how busy it is you might have to go back up for other rounds, but that's also not a big deal in my book. I'd definitely come back here again!“

“If you only hit one spot in Seattle: go here. The pelmeni will send you to heaven and the owner is warm and welcoming. Turgenev vibes.“

“So glad to see Ridgecrest back open!“

“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 :)“

“Great place to watch the Sounders!“

“I love this cozy bar! Beautiful setting, great trivia, a really social vibe, and flattering bathroom light (crucial.) However, last time we were here, servers/bartenders kept coming over and pestering us to order more food and drinks––everyone had drinks and several bought entrees during the 1.5 hours we were there. The only person in our group who didn't buy anything suffers from severe food allergies and cannot eat out. It felt really weird and odd to be constantly pestered to buy more things––I know they are experiencing some financial difficulties, but this made us uncomfortable/limited the welcoming vibe we usually encounter here.“

“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.“

“Love this place!!! It’s a great neighborhood pub with everything you’d want—GREAT staff (Bekkah, Ellie, and Joe are big reasons why we keep coming back), fun trivia nights, karaoke, and special events about once per month. Wide variety of rotating taps, liquor, wine, hard seltzers, and clever Jell-O shot creations. Brunch on weekends and tasty apps/ lunch/ dinner fare with a kitchen that’s open late. This is a place where everybody knows your name. We’ll be back to see our people soon 🤩“

“What a great variety of beef and chicken burgers! Salad, melts, sandwiches.
I chose the O'Finnegan Melt...REAL caramelized onions, actual Swiss cheese, lots of crispy bacon, soft brioche bun and a grillmaster-perfect grilled 1/3 lb burger. It was the right about of everything all rolled into one. And the tater tots were crispy on the outside. I will be back!
(O'Finnegan's is one of those old, dark pub that's been around when your grandma drank vodka.)“

“Great staff, great food, great drinks, fair prices! Leave your attitude at the door“

“I had a really great time at this place, it’s nice and welcoming. I do recommend the food and drinks as they’re both really good and tasty. I was greeted by the staff which they came out being kind to me and my family which we went together. I haven’t been to a better restaurant than this one!“

“Recently had a corporate holiday party there 10/10. Everyone had a blast and the staff was fantastic!“

“Great beer and pizza - was my review 4 years ago when this place was new.
Now, new owner I believe and 50% price raises - $18 cheese boat when they opened is $30 now - too much for a local family. I understand food/service is expensive in Seattle, but this was such a great place for families, now it's way overpriced. Very sad.“

“It’s a fixture of the neighborhood. You can go for a burger and beers to get the standard pub experience, but they also have much more than that. Their rotating menu is truly fantastic, from high end appetizers to fresh pasta to comfort food. It’s much higher quality food than I’d usually expect from a corner pub. I personally am not a fan of the live music because it makes it hard to have a conversation, so I prefer not to go on Fri/Sat evenings. But if you’re into that sort of thing it’s a good vibe.“

“Went last week & had a great time playing pool, darts, skeeball and pop a shot. Can’t wait to go back to try some food.“

“Every neighborhood should have a spot that is loved as much as this one! it's a sad shame to think that it could end..So sad.“

“It’s been my favorite place for the last 10years♥️ So many life long friendships made and amazing memories“

“Great place to come alone, with friends or big groups. Excellent service and great drink both beer and cocktails as they have a permanent and rotating selection. Happy hour food and drinks.“

“The staff are awsome the people are friendly, a wide range of songs from the karaoke singing, my only complaint is that the only food there are chips and nuts. They do allow you to bring in food. Other than that it is my goto place to sing.“

“Beer by the ounce. Anytime I got tired of a beer choice, I could pour it out, rinse my glass, and pour a better decision. I felt it very odd for them asking for 18-25% tip. TIPS stands for To Insure Prompt Service. You are the server. Starbucks baristas provide more service. Do not feel compelled to Tip. Its just a guy at a counter that rings you up. Positive side, many choices of IPA, cider, wine, sour, and seasonal. Extremely dog friendly. Got a little tipsy.“

“I love the Maple. Great food and drinks but it’s personal! I’d been gone 1.5 years and Mattie remembered me! ❤️❤️“

“We had dinner at Thirsty Hop in Kirkland and really enjoyed everything we ordered! We tried several different dishes, and they were all delicious.

The grilled boiled squid was especially memorable — so flavorful and perfectly cooked! I honestly wish I had taken pictures because there were so many good dishes on the table.

Everything tasted fresh and well prepared, and we had such a nice time. I’ll definitely be back to try more of the menu. Highly recommend!“

“The best prices on an Imperial (20 oz) pint, especially during weekday happy hours and all day Sundays!“

“They cheat drunks and tourists!“

“I was at The Lodge for an afternoon reception and wedding, and Father Mulligan's has an extremely convenient happy hour from 2-5PM on Friday and Saturday. Suffice it to say, we stopped by to down a drink or two before the festivities.

The bartenders were very friendly and the cocktail of the day was a fruity vodka/cranberry/grapefruit cocktail topped with a fruity sour. It was very drinkable and our orders came out quickly.

Their wine list also has some unique gems on it, definitely worth a look.

Overall, can't complain about the service and the cocktails were well received for a reasonable price considering the exclusive location.“

“Great German bier and food, fun environment. My favorite local bar!“

“Great atmosphere . Knowledgeable father and daughter duo crafting beer from the garage to a cool industrial setting“

“Best Bartender Ever sweet, Morgan is not like the rest. If she is not there go home.“

“I love open mic and I had fun going back in time to my wild 20s visiting my old haunt J. MIKES. I will be back for another one of Jules BLT and chips. And to watch open mic. Last week a guy was using a loop pedal and a violin. So cool. Also saw they have Karaoke Saturdays.. hmm?? Sounds fun. And I love they have darts, pool, and Big Buck Hunter!! Rad.“

“Alex is the best bartender. Food is great. Great place to chill.“

“Tatum was outstanding! What a horrible day I was having. Ending up getting towed to the shop next door to locust. While walking away from my dead car I realized I was in the parking lot of locust cider! Tatum made my day!!! She was kind and patient and very beautiful (inside and out!). She also must have some serious magic abilities…. I tried the engine one more time and my car started!!-

I’ll be back to see Tatum and her mango lemonade and blackberry mix!!“

“I love this place. I only ever come here for karaoke, but the bartenders (shout-out Marcus) are super nice and attentive, the karaoke hosts are on point (shout-out other Marcus, who judiciously employs audio effects to enhance your performance)... it's just an overall pleasant time.“

“Best place ever for the big time events!“

“This bar is a stand out place. Tonight I got kicked out, i did not feel like I deserved to get
Kicked out, but this place respected the situation that it allowed me to respect them. Please be respectful to everyone - they are trying.“

“Just always an amazing crowd, bartenders, and karaoke hosts… Great song selection… Always have a great time… Could not recommend enough.“

“Amazing view Nice people ❤️❤️“
