50 Best Pubs in Seattle

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

“Streamline Tavern Forevahhh“

“Should have gotten there earlier!“

“With its peaked-wood ceiling, wood panel booths and winter sport décor, Sully’s Snowgoose Saloon in Phinney Ridge feels like you’ve stepped into a chalet in the Alps. The original bar, La Boehme opened in 1934, making one of the oldest bars in Seattle. It became Sully’s in 1995. I asked the bartender what was good, she suggested a Sully-Dog. I gladly accepted the recommendation. The large polish dog came on a hoagie roll with sauerkraut, chopped onions, mustard and relish. It was delicious and the service was great!“

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

“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!!“

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

“This is clearly a place the locals go. Many people seemed to know each other, and was pretty full by 6pm on Friday night. The staff were super friendly and the food was good. Nice selection of beers (NA options as well). You have to order at the bar (not a big deal) and depending on how busy it is you might have to go back up for other rounds, but that's also not a big deal in my book. I'd definitely come back here again!“

“It seems I could rate it higher because I always go there when I'm in town, partially for the outdoor patio space which in good weather is great and still covered for less fine days, and I go there mostly for the changing beer selection than the food so I'm probably not the best for rating that.“

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

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

“Buffalo Chicken salad was awesome!“

“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.“

“Dog friendly and food was so good.“

“old school real people laid back crazy“

“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.“

“Friendly manager👍 great menu“

“I am delighted by this establishment and sad to have not visited here sooner. If you're in the mood for a dimly lit, intimate space that feels worn from decades of love with walls that could write books from the stories they've heard, do yourself a favor and check it out.“

“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 🤩“

“We liked the vibe of the place. It feels like a charming restaurant. I had a Ceasar Salad with chicken. It was very good and had fresh Anchovies on top which is historically correct for this dish. It was very good. I personally love anchovies on a Ceasar Salad. My friend had a mocktail which was $15. A little pricey for what is essentially lemonade. Nobody is going to make that mistake twice! But other than that it was a good place. Lots of menu choices. Upscale feel. I would come back.“

“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.“

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

“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 👍“

“Every neighborhood should have a spot that is loved as much as this one! it's a sad shame to think that it could end..So sad.“

“Fun on gameday. Good food and drinks.“

“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.“

“Visiting Seattle came across this pub great place“

“Excellent service and the food was extraordinary!“

“A cool pour-yourself bar with plenty of beer, cider, and wine options. You can mix and match different drinks and simply pay per ounce at the end, which makes it fun and easy to try multiple things in one visit. They also have soda and kombucha, so there’s something for everyone.

The space has a trendy, artsy vibe, with unique seating (including swings), wall art, and a laid-back atmosphere. There are lots of games and activities, plus plenty of room, making it a great spot for big groups or company hangouts. When I visited, there was a painting class going on, which was interesting but also took over much of the space and changed the overall vibe.

The suggested tip range of 18–25%,but everything is self-service—you pour your own drinks and manage the experience yourself. So this is bit off

Overall, it’s a fun and creative concept with tons of variety and a social setup. Just keep in mind that the atmosphere can depend on events happening that day, and the tipping expectations may not match everyone’s comfort level.“

“My favorite place to grab a beer in the city. Excellent selection of imported belgians, plus some local drafts to cover most tastes. The vibe is excellent; if you're looking to drink some strong beer and have a nice conversation where you don't need to shout, this is your place.

No food, but you can grab Carmelo's right around the corner and come back with it (and you should).“

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

“Such a fun and comfortable hang out! We really like their trivia nights and the pet friendly atmosphere. The drink lines tend to back up on trivia nights due to the time based rush to get a drink before the game starts, but in between games it's a cinch.“

“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“

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

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

“Thank you Admiral Pub! I did not know how badly I needed a Taylor Swift Sing along brunch in my life! I knew it would be fun to be with my friends, but expectations were far exceeded by the whole event. From the second you walk in you are part of it all, a crowd of strangers singing and dancing and loving every minute. The food was great (the little beignets were the perfect sustenance for all the dancing). The DJ got to everyone’s requests, and the owners mingled through to make sure we were all having the best of times (we were)! Already planning my next trip there and bringing more friends!“

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

“It’s a fixture of the neighborhood. You can go for a burger and beers to get the standard pub experience, but they also have much more than that. Their rotating menu is truly fantastic, from high end appetizers to fresh pasta to comfort food. It’s much higher quality food than I’d usually expect from a corner pub. I personally am not a fan of the live music because it makes it hard to have a conversation, so I prefer not to go on Fri/Sat evenings. But if you’re into that sort of thing it’s a good vibe.“

“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.“

“One of those places you quickly want to go back to and bring all your friends. The vibes are immaculate and the servers were so fun and kind. I ordered the sticky toffee pudding and writhing one bite I demanded everyone else pause and take a bite because it was SINFULLY good. I am visiting from Texas and will be dreaming of this dessert.“

“Nice spot. Close to everything. The bar tender was friendly. The beers were actually really good! I loved the laid back/ dads garage theme for the brewery.

Locals were there watching basketball when we stopped in. Seems like a fun neighbourhood hangout that tourists can also pop in and out of.“

“Because they let the regulars just be regulars —“

“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! 💞“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“The fried mushrooms are a religious experience“
