Mike's Chili Parlor is a classic, no-frills establishment that serves up traditional, old-fashioned chili with a personal touch. The patio is a pleasant spot to relax, and the service is friendly and personable. The chili is a highlight, with a perfect balance of flavors and a variety of options, including the option to have it with or without beans. The beer selection is also a plus. It is a legendary spot in Ballard, reflecting the area's history with old Seattle charm. Visitors often mention tasty chili and delicious drinks, and note that the place is cash-only, but there’s an ATM inside. Parking is available next to a free parking garage, and the restaurant is wheelchair accessible at street level. The atmosphere is that of a total classic dive bar, offering great ambience tucked in a corner in the middle of the city. The outdoor venue out back is large and very nice when the weather is good. The chili may not be extraordinary, but it’s very edible and decent for the price, making it a fun place to visit for a good experience.
