50 Best Bars in Seattle

“Great neighborhood location to eat on Queen Anne.“

“Incredibly great wine bar, MTG store, and boardgame hub. I attended a pre release for the TMNT set and was greeted with a paired mini-glass of wine and a slice of pizza. Really pleasant staff and a clean environment. Big fan, and I will def be back.“

“this place is awesome. good food, good drinks, good service. dang, Seattle , you got some good food.“

“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!“

“We've ordered pizza from here 3 or 4 times so far, and it's spot on every time! Probably some of the most flavorful pizza we've had in Seattle, with fresh quality toppings and baked perfectly. Will absolutely be ordering from here again.“

“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.“

“Live music, good food, funky atmosphere, great staff, cocktails, and walking distance. What’s not to love. Check this place out.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“One of our favorite places in Seattle to eat and chill.“

“A fun, cozy spot with old brick walls and wood floor, and high ceilings. Great cocktails and bites. Service is friendly and welcoming. I love the whiskey cocktails (Manhattan, old fashion). The tots are indulgent. Had a burger with tots, and classic buffalo chicken wings to start. Great location to pre-function before a concert at the Showbox. Noise level is very high because of all the hard surfaces.“

“This location is truly exceptional! The staff is outstanding, with Daniel standing out in particular. He went above and beyond to ensure my group had a fantastic experience. I highly recommend both the ambiance and the service, especially Daniel and his remarkable hospitality!“

“Rubys is a gem, quite literally and metaphorically, I guess. Tucked in an unassuming part of greenwood is a dog friendly, small seating, heck of a cocktail joint. Their menu and drinks change seasonally so it’s like watching all your favorite Game of Thrones character get offed. Sad, but necessary for growth and new characters. Anyways, this place is rad. Great service, great creative cocktails each quarter, and a friendly place to hang🤙🏻“

“Amazing atmosphere with great service. Drinks are presented beautifully and taste is 10/10! Food is great as well overall a great place to come in and play some board games, get some drinks and eat. Owner is very sweet and inviting definitely coming back.“

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

“Carl was amazing!! go see him in Tacoma!“

“The cocktails I had were amazing. Staff was awesome and very generous.“

“My favorite place to grab a beer in the city. Excellent selection of imported belgians, plus some local drafts to cover most tastes. The vibe is excellent; if you're looking to drink some strong beer and have a nice conversation where you don't need to shout, this is your place.

No food, but you can grab Carmelo's right around the corner and come back with it (and you should).“

“Excellent cocktail. Good vibe.“

“Love Rachel’s Ginger Beer! We always have a great experience here.

So many flavors to sample and Lily was so helpful in making suggestions for the ‘build a mule’ option. Get it to go or sit and enjoy with a modern diner atmosphere :)“

“Hidden Gem on Beacon Hill ✨
When I arrived at Family Friend, I honestly wasn’t sure if we were in the right spot. This hidden treasure only reveals itself by a small neon sign — unassuming, but absolutely worth the find. Once inside, I felt an immediate sense of warmth and comfort.

There was no hostess at first, but we were seated quickly by Sharon, whose smile and energy could light up any room. Her service alone deserves a standing ovation — patient, kind, and passionate about every dish she described.

🍲 Start with the Corn Soup (Rosary Style) — sweet corn, tender chicken thighs, coconut milk, onion, and garlic. It’s silky, vibrant, and layered with comfort and spice.

🥬 The Gollai Hågun Sope — mustard greens & kale in coconut milk and turmeric over corn. A vegan dream — not a large portion, but rich in flavor and nourishment.

🥟 Riyenu Empanadas — beautiful in presentation, though a bit too fried for my taste. The creamy green fina’dene sauce, however, was divine and worth the order alone.

🍹 Signature Old Fashioned — honey-forward and sweeter than expected; if you’re a traditionalist, you might prefer a classic version.

The outdoor patio was my favorite surprise — warm heaters, cozy art-covered walls, and an intimate setup perfect for date nights or quiet reflection. Accessibility was great, and while I wouldn’t call it “kid-focused,” it’s perfect for adults seeking calm conversation and quality food.

✨ Final thoughts: Modern, soulful, and filled with heart. A neighborhood must-try that feels like home away from home. I’ll be back to try the fried chicken and smash burger everyone’s raving about.

“Delicious cocktails and eats, friendly neighborhood place. cozy, when you can go inside!“

“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!“

“Such a fun and comfortable hang out! We really like their trivia nights and the pet friendly atmosphere. The drink lines tend to back up on trivia nights due to the time based rush to get a drink before the game starts, but in between games it's a cinch.“

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

“Great Eggs Benedict and Bloody Mary’s @brunch👍🏼👍🏼“

“Had a great time at Central Saloon. The bartender’s name was Carly, and she absolutely crushed it. She had full control of the bar and handled a busy crowd with confidence, keeping service smooth and maintaining a great pace the entire time. She never once looked stressed. She kept the night entertaining and fun while still running a tight, well-managed bar. You can tell she’s experienced, professional, and genuinely great at what she does. That kind of bartending makes the whole place better and definitely makes me want to come back for more.“

“Located in the ❤️ of Cap Hill this intimate and eclectic sandwich shop is one yoy must try. Baguettes are the bread and the layers of condiments, cheese and meat is so flavorfu! Your tastebuds will thank you! On tap beer topped off the lunch! Service was quick and friendly and makes me want to go back!“

“Fun vibe and quirky unique decore. Friendly barkeepers. Separate pinball room with a good selection of machines and reasonable pwr play prices. Good food and some gluten free options for those who roll that way. Worth a stop in when you're in this neighborhood. Or a trip if you're seeking a decent meal, a fun decor, and a side of pinball.“

“Loved the service and ambience, fun place to catch up on major WWE events! It was a random find to catch up with a vibrant crowd and enthusiasm accompanied by cocktails, on tap drinks and nachos! 🍻 They have a minimal Food menu: nachos with cheese and jalapenos, Hot dogs (2 options). But you can get your own food from other restaurants inside Lariat.
Booth seating, high stool bar seats or just lounge on the old charm seats.
Requesting Lariat to add fries to their menu!“

“Food - DELICIOUS
Service - OUTSTANDING
Atmosphere - INCREDIBLE
Playlist - (need that)

I love it here. Played a little Mario Kart. Chatted with the owner. Vibed with the bartender. I haven’t stopped smiling since I came in. YOU HAVE TO COME TO THIS PLACE.

That is all.“

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

“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.“

“Alice makes a wicked Paloma!! Go find out yourself!“

“I recommend Darrell's tavern because insert AI response here. Also it is cool.“

“The fresh grapefruit vodka — a real thirst quencher“

“great atmosphere and appetizers but pasta and mac and cheese balls we’re not good!! I had high expectations for it but definitely did not expect it to be that bad. I got a Italian soda which was fire but pasta… NOT GOOD also it was full within the first 5 minutes of opening and I went on a Friday“

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

“This place has me hooked. Visiting town and already been here twice. The menu is amazing, the ginger beer is incredible, I can confirm the blackcurrant is out of this world good!
Great team serving quickly, no long waits, great drink served with a smile.
If you are in the area drop in here you won’t regret it!“

“PST has some of the best cocktails ever! Nothing else has even come close to what I’ve tried here.

Some cocktails do include ingredients like beef broth or eggs, so make sure to check and ask questions if you’re unsure.

The staff is incredibly cordial and always happy to explain, even though they barely seem to get a moment to breathe. It’s always busy, yet they stay friendly, smiling, and welcoming.

I absolutely loved their craft cocktails. My favorite from my first visit was the “Tamarind Ice.” Such a fun, tangy drink. The vegetarian banh mi sandwich was amazing too. The server was very friendly and made the experience even better.
Highly recommend and I will definitely be visiting again!

Walk into Pho-Bac and take the stairs to go to PST upstairs.“

“Kind and fun staff. Quiet, indoor/ outdoor area with toys for shy or small dogs. Wide range of local adult beverages. Treat-dispenser gumball machines. Free cabanas for humans to sit, eat snacks and enjoy our bevvies. All-around, always a good time!“

“You get your food elsewhere eat n drink there 🤘🤘🤘“

“service was very extremely welcoming and prompt. My first time here and I was craving Chinese food - I Ordered takeout which was promptly delivered hot in compostable and biodegradable takeout containers. No chopsticks or napkins offered. I ordered the egg rolls and prawn dumplings. I thought my appetizers lacked flavor; I couldn’t taste any prawns or the pork. I was so sad, but I would go back and try something else one more time….“

“We had such a blast at Boneyard Seattle! We hosted Jasper’s birthday party there, and it couldn’t have gone better. The space was perfect for dogs and people alike, the staff was friendly and accommodating, and the atmosphere made it such a fun and memorable day. Highly recommend Boneyard Seattle for anyone looking to celebrate their pup or host a dog-friendly event. They made Jasper’s first birthday truly special.“

“A cafe for beer lovers! Quiet place for conversation. Amazing selection of beer.“

“Been reading about this burger for months now, and I finally willed myself to go down there to check it out. I had the double tavern and the chili fries. I’ll start with the fries, crispy and hand cut. The chili and was great and the sour cream and scallions were a nice touch. Huge portions though so they’re great for sharing. Now the burger, I had moderate expectations based off reviews and pictures. I always leave establishments disappointed when I have higher expectations so I came in with an open mind. I decided to dine in because all food tastes better when it’s Hot and fresh, and it was just that. The meat was cooked perfectly, the cheese melted all the way through, and the sauce was nice and light. The onions gave it a nice kick as well. It was very good. Beware, although it is a double, it is kind of small, so you can definitely kill a couple of them before you start feeling full. It’s really good overall, and I’ll definitely put it in my top burgers in Seattle (probably right next to The Red Mill.) These burgers were also a nice change of pace to fast food burgers, more expensive and the fries are extra but really worth it if you want just a nice, juicy, messy burger. I’ll be back to try the rest of the menu items.“

“Amazing food and staff was great!“
