50 Best Wine Bars near Lake Forest Park

“Food, service and atmosphere are all amazing. I don't drink but the food is wonderful and I love the atmosphere so much. I'm the designated driver for my friends and I love just being here. It's so incredibly cozy and I love all the art!“

“Went here for dinner and loved it. Started with some bone marrow which were very good. The tomahawk steak was juicy and meaty which i wanted. Would definitely come back and glad i found a decent steakhouse in Seattle. #hawaiianyellowtail #tomahawkribeye #smokedbonemarrow“

“I frequent this spot and always have a great time. Perfect for cozy conversations at the start or end of your night. You can’t go wrong with any of the cocktails and the horseradish vodka is a real treat if you’re into that kinda thing. 10/10 would recommend.“

“Was here on a sunny Saturday lunch. Walked in to be greeted attentively by servers and was offered complimentary champagne which was a nice surprise! Was promptly seated. Lovely decor and very open space, atmosphere was also exquisite.The food was not the most mind-blowing thing in the world, but it was good. I'd rate it a 3.5/5. You would think at it's price point the shrimp would be bigger. However I did enjoy their little french dip appetizer. If this restaurant is well within your price point, I'd say come and spoil yourself/your friends/partners/others. Otherwise, save the dollar, you're not missing anything bigly spectacular and you've tasted better things before. Cheers!“

“Phenomenal food and cocktails! I love their food, they offer so many unique dishes made with fresh ingredients. The staff is very knowledgable and friendly. I've been here about half a dozen times and the experience has always been wonderful. I highly recommend ordering the 'Trees Have Standing' cocktail, it's one of my all-time favorite drinks!“

“"is there a minimum amount of wings I need to order for $1 wings?""do you have a dollar?"came here on Wednesday for $1 wings and they were great. no minimum, can mix and match any sauces.they also had a fun selection of jello shots including root beer float and french 75.neat spot, definitely feels like a fun local bar“

“Oh my! This place makes the best macarons we've ever had. We are huge fans. Tried macarons in Paris during our 3 week stay there, and Lady Yum's are far better. The staff is lovely and an absolute delight to interact with. The shop is gorgeous and the macarons are fresh, colorful, and so flavorful. treat yourself and stop by for an amazing experience!“

“Took my fiance here with my mother for my fiance's birthday. It also happened to be Easter ?. The staff was still operating at top notch although other places were straight up closed. Glad we walked it.We ordered the seared octopus which was according to my mother who is an octopus fanatic some of the best she's ever had ??..., the scallops which were my favorite (5⭐)... and the spicy steam clams which my fiance adored (delicious green curry base). Over all amazing experiences for grabbing some cocktails and a small bite with friends or family. Come show this place some love so it can stick around ?“

“Derek was the best! He was unbelievably helpful exposing the menu and giving recommendations. If you’re looking for a date night, girls night or even a place to have a work dinner this is a great option!I’ve come back a few times now and I’m never disappointed“

“One of our best finds in Capitol Hill since moving to WA. Footprint Wine Tap offers guests a large selection of incredible wine to enjoy as well as a cozy and intimate setting to enjoy them in. The best Pinot Noir and Merlot I've had in the state of WA has been at Footprint. Ken (the owner) is a phenomenal human, if you have the opportunity to pick his brain about wine I'd take it. This is a small black-owned business, focused on sustainability and connecting with the community. I can't wait to go back!“

“I must say that this venue is an excellent choice for hanging out or enjoying a wine tasting event, and their cheese offerings are truly outstanding. I couldn't help but recall a few standout selections from Trader Joe's. While the concept of a dispenser for pouring wines is innovative and commendable, despite their rotating wine collection, I didn't find it particularly impressive.“

“This place is an absolute gem with the best service anywhere in Seattle. I went for the first time during their "Tiki Peaks" theme and have been back several times since. I'm a huge Twin Peaks fan and had no idea that was even going on, so it made for the perfect surprise to see the place and the menu decked out in TP references. The cocktails are wonderful with interesting ingredients and the presentation is beautiful, which makes it hard not to stay for an extra drink or two. The food menu is, admittedly, not really my thing so I haven't tried too many options, but it's delicious if you're into some high quality homemade crunchwraps. The huckleberry tres leches was delicious too. And one of my favorite things about this place is that they regularly sell fun merch and replica props from film/TV.“

“Fun, trendy atmosphere with a different live act every night. Unfortunately, the music was very loud (bordering on too loud) in the front room and not audible in the back. The mushroom pasta was a little too salty for me, but I highly recommend the lasagna, which was light and airy and topped with a thin layer of tomato sauce. The bread pudding and crème brûlée were also great“

“Our family is so sad that Omega Ouzeri is shuttering its doors after all these years of providing amazing Greek cuisine on Capitol Hill. From El Greco to Vios to Omega Ouzeri, Tomas and his talented staff have always delivered on quality and have made an indelible mark on my family's culinary experiences. We were so lucky to have one last family meal here and like always, it never disappoints! Good luck, Tomas & Rebecca, on your new Greek adventures!“

“I was feeling like a pile of trash today but the second I walked into this shop my mood shot up thanks to the atmosphere. The music, plants, and baristas made me feel very comfortable and welcome. I ordered their Natural Papua New Guinea espresso and it was a real citrus fruit bomb. They offer a lot of different retail roasts with a great variety of processes and some co-ferments which I LOVE. The beans are a bit on the pricey side ($23-$27 for 12oz) but the quality is 100% worth it. Overall, I highly recommend this shop if you need a welcoming space and love modern coffee trends.“

“Came for cocktail week and loved to see a woman owned spot! The entire staff working was women which was awesome. We got the kale and potatoes which were absolutely delicious. I want to figure out how to make that kale as it was so good! Love that they have boozy, light booze, and mocktails. Fun spot for a few apps and drinks.“

“Love this concept. I think it needs more beer options . But other than that it was super cool and a great time. The happy hour flat breads were very good. The seating was very comfy. The staff were all incredibly friendly and welcoming. Everyone seemed genuinely happy for us to be there. A note for first time goers that drink beer. If you are getting beer I'd recommend just doing 4 oz pies to try. Trying to get just a bit to taste just racks up the cost . Make yourself a flight and if you really like one go back for a full cup.“

“Pancita was sooo good! One of the better meals I have had recently. We got the tuna tostada, brisket suadero tacos, and the half chicken and mole. All the flavors were incredible, and I loved the ambience of the restaurant. Excited to come back!“

“Lovely vinyl bar that actually SPINS VINYL!!!!!!! Love their selection of wine / cider / beer with plenty options available from tap. We were just coming from Copine next door so we didn't order any food but I bet their foods are just as tasty! I can't wait to come back for drinks and munchies. The vibes inside are just right for enjoying music, boardgames/doodling with friends or just chatting. They have beautiful garage windows that open up as a patio space where doggos are welcome to hangout as well. I personally LOVED their vinyl/fridge section and the color pencils / sketchbooks they had by the boardgames. It was a serendipitous moment to have found this bar while walking around.“

“It was amazing!! My first time in Seattle and I visited Nolita, what a nice surprise. Food is amazing, products are fresh and good quality, portions are BIG, taste is great I really felt in Italy, wine is so good! But the attention is the best, everyone was so gentle and kind, I could practice my Italian with the owners and they gave me a rose at the end, was a lovely lovely place.“

“The food and service were amazing! Truly the best Italian food I have ever had. I had a white sauce dish and gluten free pasta and I didn't experience cross contamination from wheat. That was a huge bonus.The restaraunt atmosphere was good for being in a strip mall. I toyed between a 3 and a 4 because the restroom was really gross. And it has low lighting to try to hide how bad it truly is. And only 1 toilet for the whole restaurant?“

“We just popped in to get something to eat before a show, I got the roasted bone marrow and it was delicious! Everything on the menu looked beautiful so I hope to come back to Seattle soon to try more. On the way out the owners gave me a HUGE bone cause I asked for a box for the bone from my dish, to make treats for my dog. That was sooooo sweet and unexpected! Thank you so much and we will definitely stop in again“

“WE LOVE BC WINE! This is the wine we buy and save on our bar cart for a nice dinner or when friends who love delicious wine come over for a game night. I’ve also celebrated a friends anniversary party at their tasting room where the wine was flowing and the food was delicious. 10/10 would recommend and always look forward to our experiences at this winery!“

“I'm very particular about Italian food. The flavor and consistency of the marinara, the freshness of the bread, the amount of cheese, and the quality of the pasta are all important. Cafe Veloce does it just right for my taste. And they do it with a friendliness that is above and beyond what you'll generally receive elsewhere.“

“What a nice little dinner spot! Drinks were amazing. Ceasars salad left something to be desired but the pizza redeemed it. Excellent flavor choices, thin crisp crust, and great sauce. My only gripe was there was so much flour on the bottom of the pies. Also a woman was actively doing parking enforcement while we were sitting outside, which made the whole scene a little weird at times. Overall not a bad spot, would definitely return.“

“FLOODLAND on draft? This place has a great taplist. For as popular as it seems, it seems silly to waste the entire front window space with a child's table though? People who can legally buy alcohol would like a place to stand or sit too :)“

“I hosted a book club at Vinnies and they were extremely accommodating. The New York Sour was lovely and the wine selection is great. Stop in to enjoy a nice environment with comfy seating and nothing too fancy. Connected to the awesome Navy Strength tiki bar.“

“Been in Seattle for 8 years now, and can’t believe we hadn’t been here before. Hands down the best meal (really an experience) in the city. The food was creative, whimsical, incredibly well balanced. Wine pairings were impeccable and gave us a new appreciation for Washington vintners. The staff were so warm and knowledgeable. We sat at the chef’s table and got to watch the artistry happening in the kitchen. No on site parking, so would recommend taking a rideshare. Probably best after the wine anyway. Well worth it!!“

“Randomly discovered this spot yesterday. Had drinks with my husband here and it was super cozy. The wine list is excellent and Tomas was very helpful! He will take care of you.We'll definitely plan to return.Also if you are lactose intolerant like I am, plan to bring Lactaid. They are dairy heavy. ?“

“This was a nice surprise. We were looking for a place to grab a bite before the Tim McGraw concert and found this gem of a place. The service was awesome, even with it being a packed house. With all the games on their TVs, they still manage to put on a channel for a couple kids to watch. Now for the food. It was unique and amazing. We got the NY Garbage Fries. Don't let the name deter you, they were delicious. Our server, Marco was the best. He was very attentive to all his patrons.“

“We are loving the newest Aluel Cellars location in Queen Anne! It's in the cutest part of the neighborhood, the staff provides the best and most consistent service, and of course, the wine is delicious! Most of the wine has won multiple awards and it speaks for itself so don't miss a chance to visit this cute, new space!“

“Amazing food! Get the scallops for an appetizer the wild mushrooms are also to die for! Actually just get 1 of everything, haha! I really like the quiet atmosphere and can actually have a conversation with someone without shouting unlike some newer trendy restaurants!“

“Great experience! All of the food was amazing! The avocado toast was very good. I didn’t see anyone mentioning the avocado toast but it really shouldn’t be overlooked. It’s quite good. Also the appetizer potato things are excellent. The mimosa without alcohol is so nice because I rarely see na cocktails on a brunch menu“

“Just what anyone would want after a day of travel: solid cocktail, superlative pizza, a good glass of Nebbiolo, music that makes you forget about your worries, and people who care that you have a good meal on a Wednesday at 8pm. Grazie mille, Mercato Stellina!“

“To put is bluntly, Lady Yum has the best macarons that I've tried in Seattle, and honestly the best macarons that I've had in general. I've tried macarons from both the Bellevue and Kirkland locations, as well as by delivery and the consistency is there. As someone who has family members with gluten allergies in their family, I can't think of a better treat. There's a variety of flavors, all of which are unique and true to the name. The macrons have a nice bite and soft texture. It's a very good treat. Definitely a must try for macaron lovers.“

“Absolutely love the place - been going there since it opened years ago, originally as a wine bar & retail bottle shop. The drink selection is awesome, the atmosphere is just the perfect blend of stylish & homey - very comfortable. Highly recommend it!“

“Traffic has been insane recently, so I was glad discovering this gem of a restaurant close to our home for Valentine’s dinner. I put in my reservation 10 days ahead, and was fortunate enough to secure a spot.The shop is located in the Harbour Pointe shopping center, so there's plenty of parking available.The restaurant has a nice intimate atmosphere, perfect for romantic date dinners. For the occasion they offered a 3 course menu, with 3 options each for appetizer and main course, which included a vegetarian option.We went with the meat and surf and turf options and those were very tasty, we especially liked the Lamb lollipops. The portions were generous.Our impression was that the owner is very passionate about this restaurant, the food and the satisfaction of the guests and the staff is great, too.We definitely want to come back on one of their regular days.“

“La Dive is a great place to go for wine and food. The service is friendly and as other reviews noted, it has great vibes. The wine list is not long, but excellent. I had three different reds and they were all outstanding. My friend tried a rose and also an orange wine. The rose looked like a red, but was really good and then the orange wine was a surprise. We were really pleased with the food also. We started with the farmers cheese and herbs. Very simple, but very nice. Cheese matched wine very well. We also had the crispy spiced beef pancake. I am not sure how to describe this, but it was really tasted. It is definitely a crisp, flaky crust with the beef on the inside very nicely flavored. Then I had the patty melt while my friend had a kielbasa sandwich. The patty melt was also excellent--burger could have been cooked a little less for my preference, but great flavors and loved the rye. Then my friend absolutely loved the kielbasa, her favorite. Fun place, great food and drinks, definitely worth a visit.“

“The SRW dinner menu is quite good. However, one disappointing aspect was that the eggplant dish, listed on the website, was not available onsite. The appetizers were phenomenal, and the main dishes were also good. For dessert, I would only choose the baklava if I knew how the puff tasted. I hope the puff is crispy outside and cold inside. The service exceeded expectations! All the staff were welcoming, accommodating, and very nice!“

“Stopped by before dinner at 6:30pm on a Wednesday evening to have a glass of champagne. The bar was quiet and closing at 7;00pm but the host (John) was emphatic that it was no problem for us to grab a glass. John was friendly and knowledgeable and the champagne was good. Recommended.“

“so cute and cozy little spot! made reservations and got sat super quick, took a little while to get our food but didn’t mind too muchservice was good and vibes were right! alot of older folks but didn’t feel out of place(:overall 10/10i loved the puff pastries for dessert !“

“I received the Birthday Package, which my boyfriend ordered for me, and OH MY HEAVENS! They arrived in one day after being shipped, so they were still very fresh. The flavor combos are brilliant, and so delicious! The colors are vivid, and are just as appealing as the flavors are! I will definitely be a repeat customer!“

“Daphne's is such a special experience and one I look forward to on every visit to Edmonds. There isn't a cocktail on the menu that I would not recommend, especially when you pair it with a slice of Moto Pizza from across the street. I must make a special shoutout to Desmond, a regular bartender, who treats every customer like family, makes them laugh, and ensures they have a one-of-a-kind experience. Be prepared to squeeze into this little hole in the wall, but I can assure you it's worth the visit.Kid-friendliness: Drop the kids at the movie theater next door and kick back at Daphne's ;)Wheelchair accessibility: Edmonds has a few places within walking distance of Daphne's that would be more suited for wheelchair access!“

“Great place. Awesome selection of wines by the glass or bottle. Huge wine inventory.Staff is great. Always friendly and accommodating.Vibe is chill..Neighborhood type vibe. Indoor and patio seating (with heat lamps if ur cold) with a good view of the Kirkland Marina.A regular stop for me and my Golden. (Yes, well behaved dogs allowed too) What’s not to love?!!Parking: Kirkland Marina parking lot charges Mon-Sat. Sunday and Holidays are free. The cost is not very much.There are some surrounding street area spots that are 2 hours for free, if you can find one. Worth driving around the block once if you are concerned about paying.Either way, don’t stay over your allotted time because Kirkland Parking Enforcement will get you every time, even if you’re a minute over, it seems. They patrol all day as well.“

“I stopped by on a lazy Sunday in the neighborhood and had a really nice tasting! There are two different flights we could chose from and had the option to add a desert wine. There was one employee working and he would swing by for our pours upstairs. He was polite and attentive, explaining the wines to us. I am glad I finally found the time to visit!“

“I was only surprised they were not busier. We had a great time and the pizza seemed authentic based on my most recent trip to Italy and tasted delish. Didn’t like what was on the TVs but really who cares when the food, service and company are great! They should make the TVs play something Italian for ambiance… anyway, it was great!“

“Every dish we had was impeccable! My favorite was the Uni Spaghetti with Salmon roe. My husband’s favorite was the Lamb with Salsa Verde, but honestly you can’t go wrong. Alanna’s service was perfect, she had the best wine pairings and suggestions. Can’t wait to come again!“

“I can say this is the best champagne bar in the greater Seattle area! The staff are incredibly knowledgeable about champagne and sparkling wine, while also making the store feel like Barbie meets Cheers, it’s a place where everyone knows your name but with trendy poppy pink everywhere!Parking: The parking is the DTK (Downtown Kirkland) marina parking lot so… if it’s nice park by city hall and walk down“

“I didn't go here for food so ignore the 3 star rating on that. The welcome you get when you walk in, makes you feel special. The warm friendly chat with the owner and husband, makes me want to return very soon. The fun of the trivia night in such a fun friendly atmosphere, ugh ? why do they close at 9:00, I wanted to stay for another couple of hours! The music...I was vibing to that all night! What a gem“

“Went on a Sunday night to their bar area while waiting for my reservation for Walrus and Carpenter.They give you free chips while you sip on your drink.Drinks were really good and the spot was so nice. Felt spacious especially with the wide bar area.If you are waiting for your walrus and carpenter reservation definitely stop here. They will also let you know when your table is ready and can bring your drink to the restaurant once your reservation is ready so you never need to rush.Not that the drink menu here is different from Walrus and Carpenter.“
