50 Best Cocktail Bars near Burien

“Cool vibe, friendly servers & tasty food!“

“Neighborhood pizza spot, with familiar and friendly faces :-)“

“Zig Zag Cafe is a Seattle institution. Live jazz, an incredible location that's both hidden but right on the waterfront, great food/drink, and a fun vibe? Hard to go wrong. I appreciated the variety of food and drink available and pretty much everything we received was good to delicious. Would come back for sure!“

“So tasty and can't wait to eat here again! I am vegetarian (a failed vegan) and worried the food would be a let down given I indulge in real cheese and eggs these days. However, I had the breakfast totchos (tatertot nachos) from the weekend brunch menu and the flavor was excellent. Husband enjoyed his breakfast burrito and bloody mary too. I also had a strawberry infused tequila drink with lemons and lemonade and that was also great. Friendly service, low key environment. Want to try the French dip next.“

“Love it! Will be back for sure ❤️“

“awesome food and awesome service“

“We enjoy Harry’s for special occasions, tonight we came for a couple of items in mind and we should have came earlier as they had sold out of the entree. Our server Jesse was more than apologetic and rescued the evening with authentic hospitality. Excited to return for our next evening out at Harry’s Beach House.“

“Excellent craft cocktails in a beautifully remodeled space in the heart of Georgetown. Food is from attached restaurant Kuma and is dee-lish-ousss! Staff is super friendly and highly professional.“

“This place is a gem! Go now! It's outside of the fray of the market. The staff is so kind and attentive. A lovely break from sightseeing.“

“Sometimes a place hits just right. If you’re lucky you can get a table by the window for that epic 1st and Pike people watching. Get some braised brisket and appreciate. I liked the space with the exposed wood ceiling and old school windows. Service was timely and friendly. I look forward to coming back to try the baked fontina cheese dip appetizer or the fried bread pudding.“

“Great dog friendly patio and great food for the price. Good drinks. Right on the hipster edge of being a dive bar“

“We surprised our daughter for an early 32nd birthday. The four of us had an incredible time laughing and being awestruck at the talented performers. These were first rate acts of singing, dancing, acrobatics, athleticism and grace. The venue, service, atmosphere was electric. We loved every bit of it! Worth the money and the food was excellent. An experience we’ll talk about for weeks.“

“Went there once and truly loved everything about it.“

“We happened upon the Diller room on our way back from Pikes Place market … what an unexpected but fantastic stop! If you love bourbon (and we DO) this lovely historic bar is a must visit. The bottle selection is exceptional, and Shawn our bartender provided great pours and the most welcoming attitude despite how busy he was!! A true gem of an experience in the emerald city!“

“Walked by the night before and didn't have time to pop in after work, but took note of the cool looking new spot in GTown. Checked out the menu and my mind (and belly) wouldn't allow me to go another day without experiencing the enoki fritters, so a late lunch ensued with fritters and street corn today. Ridiculously tasty, will be back with friends and family to try the rest of the menu and I'm sure you'll be serving my coworkers (repeatedly) as well. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“The best pizza in Seattle. We had the Mushroom Pizza and the Broccoli. Driving from Burien to Leschi on a Friday night and it was well worth it. this is our new pizza spot.“

“The Rabbit Box rules for honest Seattle music. Low key, hi-fi, all genres of music and people, great food, and absolutely unique vibe. It’s under historic panels of glass built into the sidewalks on Pike St. at the Market. Seriously, you can hear great sounds, drink a fabulous cocktail and eat super food while you actually enjoy seeing people walk all over you. ❤️❤️🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠“

“The Chicken Tacos were perfect! Great place to grab a coffee or smoothie in the morn, then get a sandwich for lunch. when you get off, work go back and have a quick dinner with a drink! they have parking!! (tip your servers, they deserve it). Great prices & convenient if you work, play or live in the area.“

“love sitting on the patio on a warm day and enjoying a cold delicious cocktail. The wings are tasty, the sunday cheesesteak is dynamite. they serve a terrific smoked old fashioned and many drinks on the cocktail list are spectacular. throw in friendly service and a welcoming atmosphere and you’re all set! love this place.“

“I love Noi Thai Cuisine with all of my heart. The environment is very cozy and relaxing. I enjoy the candle lit dark ambiance, and the decor is great! I usually eat alone there but it feels like visiting family. Today I tried the chicken satay and it was simply incredible. My favorite part about this restaurant is the Tom Kha soup. I think about their soup when I am thousands of miles away. I think about it too much. It’s even been in my dreams. Every time I land at the Seattle airport, I am hurrying as fast as I can to the light rail so I can get to Noi Thai Cuisine for my favorite soup. Idk what they do to it…but no other Tom Kha soup will ever compare. If I could eat one thing for the rest of my life, it would be Noi Thai Cuisines Tom Kha soup. I want to start trying more of their menu, but I am addicted to their Tom Kha soup. The staff is always so friendly, attentive, and kind. I will continue to dine here as much as possible…forever. Thank you for filling me with so much joy!!!! I definitely reccommend Noi Thai Cuisine to everyone, they won’t let you down. I can’t give them five stars…..because they deserve five million stars. ;)“

“Everything I’ve had here is so good! Feature items are always thoughtful and delicious. A regular menu go to is the twice baked potato, which is always so good. This weekend she featured a crab roll, which is one of the best I’ve ever had service is friendly and personal, and the environment is very cozy and welcoming.“

“Excellent food and service“

“This is one of the spots in South Seattle that I actually frequent and keep coming back to. Literally everything on the menu will be a good choice, trust me, I've... tasted the whole menu... The sandeiches are huge and packed full of flavor, the green aioli they use on almost everything is rich. The seasonal sandwiches and soft serve are the things that keep me coming back for more (other than the staff, they're super sweet). Definitely try to visit on Sundays to get their sundaes!“

“The best Italian food in Seattle. The focaccia is probably the best bread I’ve ever had. The heirloom tomato and nectarine marinara is a revelation. I can’t wait to go back.“

“AMAZING Spot to come grab drinks“

“Cool spot, Old speak easy feel“

“SO GOOD! My wife and I left feeling more satisfied than we can remember leaving any other restaurant in recent memory. One of our favorite spots in the city now. Get the burger, get the corn soup, and get the banana bread/donut holes. Absolutely delicious!“

“Amazingly crafted cocktails to your taste! Bartender knows how make you taste the best cocktails. We tried a few and were not disappointed and amazed as well!
Conveniently located on a first floor of beautiful hotel with multiple sitting areas near fireplace.
Cocktails were so good that I didn’t had a chance to take a picture of them . 😂
Highly recommended!!!“

“Highly recommend! The buffalo chicken salad was the best salad I’ve had in a long time.“

“Excellent service from Elizabeth! She was so friendly and attentive! I ordered brisket with mac & cheese and potato salad and my friend ordered the bacon & blues burger with a brisket add on and talk about mouth watering! We also ordered the fried pickle jar and highly recommend that appetizer! We saved our leftovers for the next day and it went just as hard! Amazing hospitality from this establishment and the vibe was so country it felt like we were back home in Texas! Don’t skip out on the banana pudding and a big thank you to management and the cooks who help keep the place running smooth!“

“Delic breakfast! Super service! Highly recommend ❤️“

“This place is so cool. Its wrestling themed and right across from tomb of treasure. Great staff and the hot dogs are good 2.
The arcade is even wrestling themed with great pinball machines.
The tables have really cool wrestling photos.“

“Hip underground watering hole with lots of 70s decor“

“My absolutely favorite bar in West Seattle. Amazing atmosphere but please hire nicer people as bartenders, people who actually have customer service skills. Often get one bartender who is very rude and unpersonable, seems to hate her job. 💔“

“They have THREE egg substitutes, which is amazing! There's Just egg, tofu scramble, and a 'fried egg' product that has a runny 'yolk' if you're into that. Amazing to find options! We had the vegan tenders and waffle, and biscuits and gravy, with a side of tofu bacon, tofu scramble, and a Cloud9 cocktail. Everything was great! I think the biscuits was the star of the show, the gravy was Awesome, and the dish was So satisfying. The kale that came with it was a really nice contrast to the rest of the dish because it was almost like it was air fried; more crisp than I was expecting. Really nice. The waffle and tenders was really good, but the tenders weren't anything super amazing. They nail the buttery diner style waffle, and the syrup is really high quality. Tofu scramble is great! The tofu bacon is a great texture and flavor, but under salted, but I feel like that's a really minor complaint. Cloud9 cocktail was REALLY good, but a bit sweet for me personally. If you like bubble tea, this is for you. The staff are wonderful people, our waitress was also vegetarian and super grossed out by eggs, and it's a very Twin Peaks vibe place. We will be back, and encourage everyone to check them out!“

“The burgers are amazing and inventive! Highly recommend!“

“We Love Ruby Brink! Burger night—say no more…! The beef dip sandwich on the lunch menu is another favorite. We love eating here for so many reasons though. This isn’t a “high staff turnover” type restaurant where you’ll be greeted by stressed out workers plastered with fake smiles fighting over tables like you might be used you. This is a grown-up establishment with grown-up food and grown-up and experienced, competent and empowered staff and I appreciate how this dynamic expressed itself in terms of guest experience. When I say that the food is grown-up I mean that it is carefully selected and prepared from scratch and this means it does not taste like what other restaurants are doing, which often is buying bags of frozen soup and sauces from the chef supply store to keep costs down and to keep everything tasting exactly the same, every time. You will taste different things here and that might surprise you. Ready yourself for that and enjoy!“

“The Metropolitan Grill is our favorite special occasion restaurant. The food is always outstanding (oh that chateaubriand!), the customer service is top notch, and we never feel rushed. Highly recommend!“

“Everything was delicious! We will definitely be recommending Circa to all of our friends.“

“Happy hour selection and prices are good. Going back for a boil!“

“Historical saloon with tasty food and drinks. Also, great atmosphere for amazing live music. Highly recommended!“

“Chic place. Drinks a little pricey but our group liked the variety and the unique flavor profiles. Had a reservation and space is very limited, so I wouldn't try bringing a group bigger than 8 people or so. Our group had about 12 people and it was a pretty tight fit in the corner couch section, but that was on us because we added people last minute. Staff was accommodating and the vibe was nice. Views facing south are really pretty. Would definitely go again, but with a smaller group next time.“

“I love the cocktails, the people, and the atmosphere ❤️“

“It’s our first time today. We got lucky coz every time we’ll go there the wait is always long. We had a good experience, the receptionist is very nice and very helpful too bad we forgot to ask her name. Our server is very good and welcoming too. And the food didn’t disappoint us. So happy coz this restaurant is just a walking distance from our place. We will definitely go back and recommend this place to our friends.“

“A fantastic place to eat amazing food. The owner was so personable and friendly. This is definitely a place that we will come back to.“

“@manao chicken burgers 🍔 and drinks“

“Love the Gothic haunty theme with the unique variety of artwork that adds a splash of color and personality. I recommend the Solange cocktail, dangerously delicious. I could have 10 of those. Loved the service, our bartender was amazing, inviting, and great customer service. She was an absolute delight.“

“I’ve been coming here for a while and every single time, I’m treated with the same respect and friendliness that I look for in a business. Dani and Patti are two of my favorites, and they make me feel so at home when I’m here. The good food is just a plus, honestly.“

“I’ve lived on Alki since 1989. I’ve seen many restaurants come and go from this location. Lotus on the Beach is the best of them all. The ability to pick from a variety of Vietnamese and Thai dishes is its strength. The owner and staff welcome any and all critiques of the food and service.“

“First visit to Jude's. I love it when you meet long-time staff who know the history of a place - Jada was our bartender - hope I spelled it correctly! She knew her cocktails too! If you read up on the background of this place, wanting to be your neighborhood joint, great food and drinks and ambience, then I think they are there. We had the mushroom etouffee with Cajun prawns, fried chicken sandwich, apple salad, and the beignets! I'm sure it is a personal preference, but I thought the beignets were better than at Toulouse Petit. Can't wait to try brunch!!“
