My husband and I recently had our Wedding Welcome Party at Bowriders - and it was everything and more. After a brief cancellation due to their current temporary close, the team put me in touch with a new member of their staff, Elias, who was determined to make our event happen, even during the closure. Elias was absolutely incredible to work with from start to finish. Bowriders put on amazing party for us complete with a custom Seattle-focused food and drink menu and the absolute friendliest staff. We are rooting for Bowriders to re-open soon! If you’re considering hosting an event at Bowriders, let this be your sign - especially if Elias is on the case!
Thank you for working with us and making our day so special, Bowriders. We know you made an exception during this pause in business and we could not be more thankful.

Bowriders is a restaurant on Lake Union. It's got access from the road plus the dock where you can pull your boat or paddle parts up. The gas station for boats is right here, so mooring your boat can be difficult. They have a smaller menu, with prices being ok for the portion size. They have about 3 dozen tables here, with a back area that can fit probably a dozen people alone. The staff here are really nice and quick with drinks and service. The food here is good, the burger is the best and the grilled cheese was solid. Overall it's a great spot for summer drinks or a quick stop for gassing up your boat and a snack.

Food had a good flavour, but too small portion sizes, even for our European standards. No value for money. They had a 'limited menu', not the same as online. The views are stunning, but I wouldn't recommend going here to eat.

Went with my partner and we had a great time. I had the salmon sandwich, which was delicious. We shared the salmon skewers, and the sauce that came with it really added something extra to them. My partner had the bbq pork sandwich and scarfed every bit of it down. The people working there were friendly. We had a nice view and sat right beside a little fire heater thing. We will be back!

The place is so cozy , overlooking a beautiful part of the lake. Even at a gloomy day, the owner can turn on heating lamps and make it enjoyable experience. Such a gem!

Mathew was super friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Great view! Fun to hear the chicken wire around plants is to prevent beavers! There’s cozy fire pits, spare blankets, tasty food and interesting beers.

Food was so delicious! My wife woke up the next morning to inform me she dreamt about the shrimp tacos all night!
Food is amazing, good choice of beer and wine, views are hard to beat. It’s a perfect place on Lake Union, a hidden gem!

Wow a hidden gym on the water. The food was perfect, tenderloin pops were cooked to perfection and seasoning as well as the shrimp. I can’t say enough but if you want beautiful view ambience and delicious food, don’t miss this place.

What a great, hidden gem right on the water near Gasworks Park. Our food was great, the view is amazing. I think it would help to have a bit more information for customers about how the counter service works, and that there are blankets available. The service was wonderful, great, great view. Will definitely be back!

Great views, GARBAGE food. They should be ashamed of how bad their salmon is
