50 Best Pubs near Kirkland

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

“Mikaila, the bar manager, was fantastic! She was very friendly, knowledgeable about all of the wines and beverage options, and offered very fast service! It’s also awesome to be able to bring in food from the QFC deli and the drink prices can’t be beat!“

“Good for Birthday Parties good bands good seating good food and drinks and service“

“Our friends suggested meeting up at The Thirsty Hop, and though a hop shop with sushi seemed like a strange mix, it turned out to be a great combination! As you walk in, the cozy vibe is immediately inviting, especially on a cold, rainy day with an inviting fireplace to sit next to. They even have games to play! The beer selection was decent with plenty of choices, and the sushi was surprisingly delicious! We ordered quite a bit, with the Hawaiian tuna being a standout favorite—we liked it so much, we ordered it twice. We also tried a variety of other dishes, including wings, gyoza, and rolls, and everything was excellent. The staff were friendly and had a great sense of humor, adding to the enjoyable atmosphere. As we left, the place was getting busy. We wish them the best of luck and hope they continue to stay busy!“

“Randomly stopped in for a quick snack on my way home from work and found the best stop for daily specials and friendly service! And I'm talking $12 for a burger AND a beer on Monday, $10 for a taco and beer on Thursday, and $10 for a pizza on Wednesday! Live music on the weekends. Food is delicious! Took my husband back with me the very next day!“

“Great chill spot! They've got a ton of local beer options, tasty rotating food and friendly staff; all in a unique space with lots of cozy mood lighting, historic charm and gender neutral restrooms.“

“You don’t really come here for food, so the fact that they serve any is actually the cherry on top of the service, drinks, and atmosphere. Super chill, not pretentious, and while the space is a little extra cramp in the winter time, it is STILL a good time.“

“Fun place to be, there’s a pool table, dart board and a lot of board games. It’s almost always crowded and tough to find seating but you can make it work.

Absolutely love the onion rings, and loaded nachos!! They also have half off Thursdays which makes it even better.“

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

“Had a fantastic pit stop and the bar staff are really friendly and know their stuff about the drinks. Recommend.“

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

“Friendly manager👍 great menu“

“Visiting from out of town, I wanted to see what the bar scene was like here in Seattle. Stumbled upon this nice, cozy spot near Pike Place Market which I ended up visiting twice this weekend. Nice, low lit atmosphere with what looks like a lot of history put into it.

It's gonna be a smaller crowd due to the spacing but you've got these nice leather couches and an outdoor patio up front to make up for it. I got to meet some interesting people and had some enjoyable conversations here with some regulars. Owner is also a great converser and gracious host.

They're open until 0200 so I highly recommend taking the opportunity to visit here in your bar hopping adventures.“

“This is definitely a hidden neighborhood gem! Such a cool little spot, lots of character, good vibes, and great staff! The pizza is really good, still isn't the enigmatic perfect pizza I'm searching for in Seattle but honestly better then most I've tried, and there's a lot of love put into it❤️. Great spot!!!“

“So glad to see Ridgecrest back open!“

“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 🤩“

“Been to Savage Moose a few times and didn’t really feel welcome with the old staff. New management is great. Saw some friendlier faces this past weekend & had an awesome time. Brittany was amazing. She made sure I was taken care of and made the best drinks! Definitely coming back.“

“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.“

“Ok, I forgot to photo their classic dish, the one that’s recommended, the one that my friend threw out. I liked it, it was interesting - basically a pizza for breakfast with sausage and egg on top.

Sadly, the egg whites were not cooked and it was a cheesy mess.

Perfect for me on a rainy Saturday but my friend, not so much.

The bartender was awesome and a great conversationalist. He took excellent care of other patrons by changing the channel on the tv without pause, chatting folks up, and doing bartender things with a smile.

The location is so good I’m gonna go back and try something else and hang out.

I hope this review helps someone.“

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

“The best Caprese Sandwich!“

“Great place to get a local beer on tap, they have amazing non alcoholic options, including some CBD drinks, vegetarian friendly menu items, and incredible karaoke once a month. Perfect scene for those who love to socialize or for someone in the neighborhood looking for a place to drink a nice beer without a sticky floor and door charge.“

“Literally my favorite place to go. I don't drink. I come for the darts and stay for the food. Rarely do I spend more than 35 for the two of us. My girl brought me because they pour well and have great priced drinks. I thoroughly enjoy the atmosphere and the touchtunes.“

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

“★★★★★ Exceptional Food & Service in Bothell

Amari is a hidden gem in downtown Bothell that delivers an unforgettable dining experience. Our server Sherman transformed what could have been just another dinner into something truly special. His genuine enthusiasm and deep knowledge of the menu led us to two standout dishes: crispy, brussel sprouts, pepperoni, pizza, and truffle sauce on the side.

Sherman's attentive service went above and beyond – from nice conversation to ensuring dietary restrictions were carefully accommodated. The restaurant's intimate atmosphere and modern Pacific Northwest decor provide the perfect backdrop for either a romantic evening or special occasion dining.

While the updated (-$) menu and elegant ambiance are impressive, it's the personalized service from staff like Sherman that sets Amari apart. His intuitive timing and genuine care for guests' experience elevate this restaurant from great to exceptional.

TIP: MAKE A RESERVATION!!! They book up FAST BECAUSE IT IS SO DELICIOUS!!

Price: $$
Recommended: Brussels sprouts and pepperoni pizza
Best for: Date night, special occasions“

“Food was amazing highly recommend“

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

“nice staff and they have a great collection of drinks on tap, including some that aren’t normally available in the US! the cards work pretty seamlessly for self-serve and definitely save a lot of time compared to a normal bar. prices are very reasonable per oz.“

“Food was not available other than frozen pizza. Odd, as it seemed a no brainer to offer at least apps or snacks of some kind. Isn't that a benefit for people drinking? Bartender was rather monotone, and what seemed pre occupied. It was mildly busy but that shouldn't matter when a ran an open tab for four. From a business standpoint that would make sense to cater to such customers as they would seem ideal. It's sad when you go in to a new establishment and feel like regulars are treated with more attention. I'm sure they spend and possibly daily but I think that it's a comfort thing easier for the help to visit and focus on who they know vs taking a few to get to know others. Especially if they come in groups. One guys opinion I guess. Bottom is if you want 5 stars you will make an effort to make me fee appreciated. This comes from a business owner and a service provider to the public. Do with it what you will.

Parking: If you go after business hours the neighboring stores close and tons of pking“

“Went to Columbia City Ale House. The Server Jennifer was absolutely stunning and friendly!!! Super delicious! The food is cooked to perfection! Very fresh! I personally love thier NY Chopped Cheese and their fries! Their BBQ sauce is like stellar!! Love to walk here since it’s walking distance from my place. Highly recommended!!! Love love love it ?!“

“Great atmosphere, kid friendly, awesome selection, and great staff!“

“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.“

“Any place with almost nothing but ciders and sours is A in my book! Not a big beer guy at all but cider and sour yes! They have these in spades here. Cool spot as well! Open and inviting, casual seats and ample space. 4 and 6 pick flight options. Go during happy hour for 6 picks at $17. I enjoyed every cider I got and the 2 sours as well. I'd get them all again. Way cool spot for lovers of the cider and sour side of 'beer'.“

“Really good spot to have a beer, cocktail, appetizer and/or dinner.“

“If you are passing by, look through the window, and decide to walk in, you'll get exactly what you're looking for. If you decide to keep walking, you won't be missing much.This place is like Moe's Tavern, except with a good beer selection. There's no food, but you can bring some in.Theres some board games to play - classic (chess and go), or party games (say anything, pictionary, etc). Or, you can chat with friends and strangers, or read something.The large front windows make you feel like you're never too far from the street and makes for good people watching.“

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

“Great atmosphere! That Maxie cat can really sing! More of him!“

“Great gem of a neighborhood pub. They do a perfect rendition of the classic American pub burger, and the tap selection is diverse. I like how it's quiet enough to go alone with a book, but busy enough to bring your pals and have a nice evening.“

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

“For a dive bar on Auroara, we were shocked! This place has the best fish and chip we have ordered in Seattle. We came from out of town, and this place's food is just unbelievable! The chips were fantastic. I, literally, did not want to stop eating them. I, seriously, recommend this place!!!!!!! And the bartender was amazing!!!!“

“Great pizza, great drinks and beer selection, and a cool, dark, macabre atmosphere.“

“The fried mushrooms are a religious experience“

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

“Great neighborhood joint. Friendly staff and cold beer 🍺“

“Went here on a Tuesday around 7 pm after leaving a nearby bar that had a different crowd. It was trivia night, which I think killed the vibe a bit. The trivia was in the large area of the bar, and given how few people there were actually participating, it would have been better to have been in a smaller area leaving the non participants feeling better about carrying on conversations and moving about without feeling like they were interrupting the trivia game. The crowd here was much younger than the bar across the way, not too young though. Overall this is a fun place to go.“

“GREAT LOCATION! Its in a really pretty public space. Cider was great and the atmosphere was really nice for a rainy day. The staff member, Mack, was very friendly and bubbly and walked us through the ciders- helped make the menu not feel intimidating“

“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!!“

“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.“

“The servers are fantastic. The food is almost always slow and in the last year the quality of the food has gone down. The menu and presentation needs an update. It seems like Applebee's quality at an upscale price. I love the vibe there but we rarely eat more than an app anymore.“
