50 Best Pubs in Seattle

“A fun place to go for beer and golf.“

“Our food at the Von's Woodinville was outstanding and received great service from Ella. We hope she will be adding a star to her collection.“

“Great chill spot! They've got a ton of local beer options, tasty rotating food and friendly staff; all in a unique space with lots of cozy mood lighting, historic charm and gender neutral restrooms.“

“Streamline Tavern Forevahhh“

“If you only hit one spot in Seattle: go here. The pelmeni will send you to heaven and the owner is warm and welcoming. Turgenev vibes.“

“Should have gotten there earlier!“

“Visiting Seattle came across this pub great place“

“Killer Tap list, dog-friendly outdoor patio, and delicious food!“

“Quite possibly the worst bathroom in Seattle. Gives the underground tour a run for its money but atmosphere and service is absolutely A1. Best Guinness pour in seattle(they have an award confirming) and great vibes. Oxymoronic given the bathroom rating, but try their chili. Delicious.“

“So friendly and accommodating and the absolute best “bar” food I’ve ever had. The Bird chicken burger was phenomenal and the pork belly tacos were the best I’ve ever had. I will be coming back for sure!!“

“As bar food goes, this place ranks on top. Finding anything in Seattle that isn't over priced is difficult. Good fried seafood at a great price in a small neighborhood bar.“

“TL;DR Large selection of unique Belgian beers in a relaxing environment. A departure from what you’ll typically find in the neighborhood.

Great beer. Great service. Great ambiance. I’ve been stopping by here after work the past few weeks to bug the owner and learn more about (what I now know as of reading this listing to be selectively) Belgian beer. The owner is nice, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. This bar, much unlike the rest of its Olive Way counterparts, is a great place to relax and wind down after a long day. If you want a laid-back crash course on Belgian beer this is your spot.“

“Great staff, great food, great drinks, fair prices! Leave your attitude at the door“

“This place is kool! The “strongest drink” apparently changes based on your bartender, but I look forward to trying another bartender’s “strongest drink” because the one I had on 6/3/26 was fantastic! We shared two and were blazed. The decor in this place is kool, and it is dark and cozy. Can’t wait to visit Seattle again and go back. Also, the bartender we had that night took good care of us. He made sure we had water and explained the bill the second time since it was clear that we were lit from the first “dose” lol.“

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

“Had a fantastic pit stop and the bar staff are really friendly and know their stuff about the drinks. Recommend.“

“Dog friendly and food was so good.“

“old school real people laid back crazy“

“Really cool little space. Pizza and other food, tap beers. A nice spot to stop by with a friend or date for a casual hangout. Outside seating is clutch during warmer days. They have some outside heaters for cold months but its not a huge space anyways. Better for more chill vibes and a quick hangout with some friends.“

“Great place to watch the Sounders!“

“Food was incredible. We got the vegetarian option for the Rueben, it was massive! The sour beer was very tasty. Unfortunately we turned up for dinner just as karaoke was starting which isn't our thing so we ate and left.
Bar staff very friendly, very nice local spot.“

“Hilltop Ale House was a super chill, inviting, and pleasant spot to hit while walking north through the area. It gave neighborhood favorite watering hole vibes for sure with fair prices and a nice variety. The bartender was friendly and helpful, and my beer ice cold. Would come back!“

“Because they let the regulars just be regulars —“

“This used to be a regular watering hole for me when I lived in West Seattle years ago. I stopped in recently and though the staff is different, the vibes are still the same. Great place to have pints with friends, play some bar games, or play a board game. Great selection of beer, they'll generally have something to suit your tastes. There is no wait staff, you order at the bar. They have a good system to let you order while in line to keep things moving. They only serve snacks, but you can bring your own food from other restaurants, several options within a short walk.

The only negative is that post COVID, they've converted their parking lot to outdoor seating so parking may be a challenge depending on the time of day.“

“Great place to hangout for sports games or meet friends for a drink and dinner. The Prime Rib Dip is amazing!“

“Love this place!!! It’s a great neighborhood pub with everything you’d want—GREAT staff (Bekkah, Ellie, and Joe are big reasons why we keep coming back), fun trivia nights, karaoke, and special events about once per month. Wide variety of rotating taps, liquor, wine, hard seltzers, and clever Jell-O shot creations. Brunch on weekends and tasty apps/ lunch/ dinner fare with a kitchen that’s open late. This is a place where everybody knows your name. We’ll be back to see our people soon 🤩“

“Delicious food, came out hot and fresh in 7 minutes. Didn't once think I needed ketchup/hot sauce on the taters; they were full of flavor. Super friendly and welcoming staff.“

“Good food and great beer conveniently located near the Luna Laundrymat!“

“Friendly manager👍 great menu“

“We attended the Friday night jazz happy hour from 5 to 7 and was not disappointed. The music, food and service all top shelf.
Matt and Jessica went out of their way to make us feel like regulars at this neighborhood bar in Greenlake. Thank you folks for making this a memorable event with my family.“

“Buffalo Chicken salad was awesome!“

“A great combo: Fantastic Food and Super Friendly Service! 💕 LOVE PUB 70 ❤️ you will too 😃 The Clam Chowder it’s delicious, Wings perfectly cooked and Yummy, Chicken Sandwich is fabulous. Go have a great time and delicious dinner 👍“

“Thai fusion menu is a great addition. Worth the trip. The pineapple fried rice was better than most Thai restaurants in town. The wait staff and bartenders are the heart and soul of the place. Hard working and always friendly. I can’t recommend this spot enough.“

“I love the Maple. Great food and drinks but it’s personal! I’d been gone 1.5 years and Mattie remembered me! ❤️❤️“

“Great place to come alone, with friends or big groups. Excellent service and great drink both beer and cocktails as they have a permanent and rotating selection. Happy hour food and drinks.“

“Fun on gameday. Good food and drinks.“

“Beautiful interior, fun, relaxed place, solid drinks, great bartenders.“

“I love 74th and would never knock them down a star, but I do have one plea about the burger: the giant, hard bread just doesn’t work with it! The burger itself is great, but the bread makes it really difficult to eat. Can we please get regular soft bread as an option?! 🙏“

“Novelty of pouring your own pint with a large selection. Server on the main till to get my card was friendly and polite. Other staff also welcoming and friendly. Suggesting favourites etc.

You secure a card with your id and payment card. Then place that card on the taps which logs what you pour. Then you pay the bill at at the end.“

“Excellent service and the food was extraordinary!“

“If you ever come visit Seattle and you happen to be a Man United fan or even just looking for a nice place to have drink YOU HAVE TO COME HERE. My girlfriend and came here because I wanted to watch the United game while we were visiting Seattle. We googled a bar to watch a United game and this place popped up. The area was beautiful and it's about 15 min away from a great view of the city! I had 3 old fashions, some sliders, and meatballs. All of it was great. The slider had really good flavor and their meatballs were delicious. Thebartender was GREAT she was very attentive and very nice! My girlfriend and I were very fortunate to meet the owners of the bar. They were super friendly, and just great people. Definitely a place to support! Whenever I visit Seattle again this will definitely be a place I would want to spend my vacation money!“

“We were too broke to travel internationally this year, so we just came here to try all the Scottish food instead 😄
Absolutely loved the scotch egg, and haggish. The tour of Scottland whiskey flight paired well with our apps. The mains: bangers+mash and fish+chips were also amazing in flavor; a little smaller portions than expected though.
But the real star was the sticky toffee pudding. One of those dishes you'll never forget and will tell everyone to go try.“

“This was the first place I seeked out in Seattle besides hotel. I had to cross it off my list. It was a great addition to the Seattle experience. They serve great beer, but I was surprised they weren't overrun with people. It was a weekday though, maybe it matters. They have 2 levels and a cozy outdoor patio away from the street. They offer (3) 6oz flights which is the way to go. I'm from Portland, Maine so I like the brewery vibe.“

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

“I love this place and the new owners make it even better. Good food, local fun and good drink prices, steak night Friday is hard to beat for the value for sure.“

“Had an amazing experience in February at Elephant&Castle- Seattle while traveling for a work conference. Sat up at the bar and had an awesome experience. I was looking for somewhere to watch basketball. The bartender Nic C (at least that was the name on the receipt, bartender with dark black hair) put the game on the a screen. I ordered the pie flights and poutine. The food was amazing and quick. Bartender provided great service while I watched the game. I noticed how great the service and food that other people ordered. Thanks for making this a highlight of my work trip! 5 stars all around“

“The burgers are awesome! 💞“

“Coo lil local bar to grab drinks at. I have a great time every time. However most of the times I have been it seemed really busy but the staff was always friendly and as attentive as possible. Food is pretty decent and the DJ is always on point. They also have karaoke from time to time“

“Just always an amazing crowd, bartenders, and karaoke hosts… Great song selection… Always have a great time… Could not recommend enough.“

“Best place ever for the big time events!“
