50 Best Bars near Kenmore

“Richard is the best ! I had a great time and a service“

“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.“

“Headed down during a blue grass jam session, place was packed. It was freezing cold outside so I had a Hot Toddy and it was absolutely perfect. Great vibe, great people. Lots of families. I did not eat anything, but next time I will check out their food. I heard they have a farm to table restaurant moving in which would be awesome! If I had my choice, I would have Carolina Smoke BBQ come in and make it the blues capital of the eastside, but let's see what they come up with. HIGHLY recommended.“

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

“we love it here! we’ve been coming to play pool for years and its always nice seeing the friendly faces behind the bar. Matthew, Angie, and Joseph specifically always have top tier customer service and never fail to make us feel at home. this place is an institution and we are excited to keep playing here for many years to come!“

“Awesome space, nicely decorated. Cocktail (their version of an Old Fashioned) was excellent. Wagyu steak frites with sauces excellent. Pork schnitzel okay. No dessert ordered. Service at bar was excellent. Service in restaurant was good but not really to standard for this price level. Dinner for 2 with cocktail, glass of Brut, 2 glasses of Pinot Noir $220 total inclusive (Feb 2026).“

“Great neighborhood location to eat on Queen Anne.“

“As someone whose job it is to go to local game stores, there is something truly special about U Wine Bar.

Excellent beverages, wonderful community, fantastic service from both Sarah and Elijah all come together for an extremely positive experience.

The teams continued effort to produce a safe and welcoming environment (including PoCs and LGBTQ+) is greatly appreciated and I'm glad I had the opportunity to come by!

Looking forward to my next trip here. And good luck to their future!“

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

“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!“

“Amazing food and staff was great!“

“This is a great neighborhood spot! The pizza is really, really good, and there's space to spread out and hang with people. The beer is a little spendy ($11/glass, give or take), so I skip that and get something from a nearby brewery if I really want it. But def go for the pizza and the chill vibes!!“

“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 food and drinks plus excellent service… What’s not to like? 🥳“

“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.“

“Great ambiance, nice food, good drinks.“

“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!“

“Chucks has a great selection of both canned beer and options on tap. You can always get a good variety here and they have new things to try all the time. They also offer 4-oz pours which is great for sampling things! Their food truck rotation is solid as well.“

“Celebrated my daughter’s 16 birthday at Amaro. They went the extra mile for her and had a great table saved and even got her a small beautiful bouquet of flowers after I had to delay our time due to some unforeseen events. It was so sweet and thoughtful. The food is always fresh and delicious. Thanks, Amaro! You made it a great night!“

“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.“

“A literal hole in the wall, this place oozes with cool vibes. From the vintage bar hutch to the dog portraits covering the walls, this cozy spot leaves little to be desired. A clever cocktail menu will make you laugh and I recommend the hand made ginger beer.“

“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.“

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.“

“This place is a gem!! Great food and service! After attending a concert, my friends and I were hungry. They let us in even though they were closing soon. Told us not to rush and just enjoy. The grilled cheese was perfect! Definitely coming back here again!“

“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.“

“The prettiest Jell-O shots ever, well crafted cocktails and delicious snacks. Crab nachos and very cute cup of pho cups were excellent. Recommend early evening/not a weekend and a small group as the space is not large-- you enter through a stairway inside pho bac. Restrooms are on the first floor.“

“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.“

“Delicious Pizza!! They grabbed me with the deep dish style pizza. i started following their Instagram so i could see what was going on. over the last few years i would order a pizza from them when in the area… a few special trips just because. Now just recently I started seeing Tavern Style pizza show up on the instagram. Started with photos from other places and then Windy City pie puts tavern on their menu! i wanted to try it since it became available and finally decided to make it part of my pre game for a saturday Mariners game. if thin crisp crust is not your thing then stick with the deep dish! it continues to amaze! If you like the thin crisp pizza try the tavern. it is not just any pizza it is special. the crust is thin uniform and crisp through out the pizza. the toppings are high quality and the sauce is something out of this world! I ate about half and took the rest home to share with my wife. thought i would be able to share our reheat but it didn’t get past the cold pizza phase… this has to be the very best cold pizza i can remember! So good we didn’t take the time to heat back up we just downed it! Check them out! really great pizza on 2 ends of the pizza spectrum!“

“Oh wow! How did I just find this place out? Its amazing!!! Everything was simply incredible. The food was perfect. Roti Jala very tasty as a starter. Then we ordered the chicken which was super crispy on the outside and juicy inside. We also ordered the laksa noodles which was heaven and we also got the ribs. Please order the coconut shake and the passion fruit green tea. Wow wow wow! We will be back for my birthday with our friends!“
