50 Best Pubs near Lake Forest Park

“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!“

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

“Streamline Tavern Forevahhh“

“Should have gotten there earlier!“

“The best Caprese Sandwich!“

“Quite possibly the worst bathroom in Seattle. Gives the underground tour a run for its money but atmosphere and service is absolutely A1. Best Guinness pour in seattle(they have an award confirming) and great vibes. Oxymoronic given the bathroom rating, but try their chili. Delicious.“

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

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

“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.“

“Great food! I had the Rachael sandwich and my wife had the chicken Caesar. Both were delicious! Highly recommend!“

“So friendly and accommodating and the absolute best “bar” food I’ve ever had. The Bird chicken burger was phenomenal and the pork belly tacos were the best I’ve ever had. I will be coming back for sure!!“

“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 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!“

“This bar is perfectly funky enough for me. Drinks were great …live music was fantastic, and the bartenders were amazing handling all the orders.. Thank you Engels☮️“

“Visiting Seattle came across this pub great place“

“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.“

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

“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 place to hangout for sports games or meet friends for a drink and dinner. The Prime Rib Dip is amazing!“

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

“Good food and great beer conveniently located near the Luna Laundrymat!“

“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 🤩“

“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 :)“

“Food was good. The bartender was nice. They have 2 pool tables, couple of darts boards, an a foosball table. Theres a small outdoor area. Overall it was good place to hang put have cpl beers and play some games. Big enough to not feel crowded. Small enough to feel like a neighborhood spot.“

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

“Dog friendly and food was so good.“

“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!“

“old school real people laid back crazy“

“Buffalo Chicken salad was awesome!“

“Friendly manager👍 great menu“

“This place is kool! The “strongest drink” apparently changes based on your bartender, but I look forward to trying another bartender’s “strongest drink” because the one I had on 6/3/26 was fantastic! We shared two and were blazed. The decor in this place is kool, and it is dark and cozy. Can’t wait to visit Seattle again and go back. Also, the bartender we had that night took good care of us. He made sure we had water and explained the bill the second time since it was clear that we were lit from the first “dose” lol.“

“My friend and I popped in for a drink and some fries. The bartenders were super friendly and helpful and drinks were delicious. Fries were crispy and hot.
The vibe inside is relaxed and it was nice to see a nice variety of folks out and about“

“We came here for lunch one day - I was especially excited to try their tuna melt and it did not disappoint. It has a kick and the bread was toasted perfectly. Absolutely delicious. My husband enjoyed their burger and chips. Really cozy spot, good drinks, would be great to watch a game and enjoy some food.“

“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.“

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

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

“Beautiful interior, fun, relaxed place, solid drinks, great bartenders.“

“A great combo: Fantastic Food and Super Friendly Service! 💕 LOVE PUB 70 ❤️ you will too 😃 The Clam Chowder it’s delicious, Wings perfectly cooked and Yummy, Chicken Sandwich is fabulous. Go have a great time and delicious dinner 👍“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Fun on gameday. Good food and drinks.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Because they let the regulars just be regulars —“

“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.“
