Have wanted to try the fish n chips since I arrived 12 years ago- the fried halibut was easily the best I’ve had in years. Macleod’s also has unmatched interior design atmosphere among all bars in the metro area. Combine that with continuous great service and this place is a GEM

Amazing fish and chips that came out fast and piping hot. Batter was perfect, crunchy and not oily and the tartar was some of the best I have had. The staff were friendly and attentive and the outdoor seating was perfect as it was raining a little. Been searching for a good fish and chips and this one ticked all the boxes

They have a huge selection of scotch and something you don't see too often is scotched eggs which are amazing here.

Loved sitting outside and the food was fantastic! So happy they were open late. The Reuben was perfect and the veggie pasty delicious. The crab dip was also very tasty and we ate what was left with our forks.

This place is the perfect spot for before or after dinner drinks - they serve food but I haven’t eaten there, I come for the cocktails and the thorough scotch whisky list. It’s a cozy pub with great bartenders.

Macleod’s is a solid spot for whisky fans, especially those into Springbank — they’ve got one of the better selections in Seattle at some of the best prices around. The option to do 1/3 pours is a great touch, letting you explore a variety without going overboard. Highlights like Mortlach 25 for $30 a pour show just how fairly they price their rare offerings.

The pub has a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere and feels like a place built with real appreciation for whisky. I’ve heard great things about the owner and am looking forward to stopping by when they’re around. All in all, a great place to spend an evening if you’re into good whisky and good company.

I am so lucky to have hosted my wedding rehearsal dinner at Macleod's! :) Naomi was wonderful to work with, the ambience was unbeatable, and the food was so delicious. They also let us drop off flowers to put on tables beforehand, and signage for the event. Thank you so much to Naomi and the entire team for all of their hard work!! It was such a wonderful memory, and Macleod's will always have a special place in my heart now! :)

No TVs, which is awesome. Incredible Scotch selection. And the fish and chips come with malt vinegar and mushy peas. ALSO! They have Tennents on draft! We stayed forever!

*Update* We sat on their patio and had happy hour fish and chips. 10/10 again.
