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.“

“Streamline Tavern Forevahhh“

“Should have gotten there earlier!“

“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.“

“Visiting Seattle came across this pub great place“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Gosh we love this place so much. We reserved the back room for our engagement party and it was free (or VERY cheap? I can’t remember) as long as we bought drinks there. The vibe is relaxed, the decor is great, the outdoor patio is our favorite for summer and fall hang outs, and the bartenders are so kind and friendly. They even allow dogs!“

“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.“

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

“Dog friendly and food was so good.“

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

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

“Friendly manager👍 great menu“

“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.“

“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.“

“old school real people laid back crazy“

“Fun on gameday. Good food and drinks.“

“We came here for lunch one day - I was especially excited to try their tuna melt and it did not disappoint. It has a kick and the bread was toasted perfectly. Absolutely delicious. My husband enjoyed their burger and chips. Really cozy spot, good drinks, would be great to watch a game and enjoy some food.“

“Went to 80s Sing Along Brunch on Sunday 8/9 with coworkers. This event was hands down the best day of my whole summer. As a teacher and school right around the corner, it was exactly what we needed! Hands down the best day of my summer! Definitely need to go enjoy this event and venue! Billy and Alex definitely know what they are doing!“

“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 👍“

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

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

“Buffalo Chicken salad was awesome!“

“Great beer and pizza - was my review 4 years ago when this place was new.
Now, new owner I believe and 50% price raises - $18 cheese boat when they opened is $30 now - too much for a local family. I understand food/service is expensive in Seattle, but this was such a great place for families, now it's way overpriced. Very sad.“

“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.“

“Excellent service and the food was extraordinary!“

“Beer by the ounce. Anytime I got tired of a beer choice, I could pour it out, rinse my glass, and pour a better decision. I felt it very odd for them asking for 18-25% tip. TIPS stands for To Insure Prompt Service. You are the server. Starbucks baristas provide more service. Do not feel compelled to Tip. Its just a guy at a counter that rings you up. Positive side, many choices of IPA, cider, wine, sour, and seasonal. Extremely dog friendly. Got a little tipsy.“

“Because they let the regulars just be regulars —“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“The burgers are awesome! 💞“

“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“

“I love bringing people here for quick and easy night out in Ballard. The whiskey selection is great, as you would hope. I asked some pretty specific questions about the whiskey selection that they answered on the spot with recommendations. I feel shy to say that I’m not really into the fish and chips. The coating falls off and is sometimes burnt. Doesn’t stop me from coming back for poutine and burger.“

“Great German beers, friendly service, nice place to chill in West Seattle.“

“How many places can you say you've frequented for 20 years. Well, I've come to 74th Street Ale House since I moved to Seattle back in 2000. My love for this place started with a weekly trek to have the Reuban Sandwich and I'd have a Snakebite to drink.

After a decade my taste changed and I evolved to some of the best iced tea in Seattle and the blue cheese burger with the grilled onions and bell peppers. On top of the great menu they have weekly specials and the homemade soups and gumbo are fantastic.

Great place to meet up with friends and have a meal and drink some beers although the do have a full bar too. Mostly a neighborhood place with lots of locals and the staff know more of the regulars as they've worked here for a few decades too.

I highly recommend 74th Street Ale House and BTW I just came back from there and had the Gumbo, a Guinness and chased it down with a iced tea to boot.“

“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“

“I assume this is a well known watering hole, but I stopped in while I was waiting for a friend to finish up an appointment. The vibe was very relaxing, with a lot of locals just chilling. My drink was strong and reasonably priced, and I was able to hang out on my own and read while absorbing the atmosphere. Service was great! Decorations and furnishings were cute, and the bathrooms were very clean… As I get older in life, this means more to me than you can imagine.“

“The fried mushrooms are a religious experience“
