“The best Caprese Sandwich!“

“Came in from out of town and this place was highly recommended! The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, the staff and service were friendly and incredibly attentive. The drink selection was amazing and the crafted drinks were delicious! The food was outstanding and I can’t say enough about the burgers!!! Great options for indoor and outdoor seating as well! I would give this place a 1,0000/10 if I could! Check it out! You will certainly be a repeat customer!!“

“Great karaoke bar! Best in shoreline,WA“

“We had a great experience here! They have soft-tip bullshooter boards for remote play, pool tables, and pull tabs. The bartender was super sweet and friendly.

They have food, but it’s all air fryer stuff, just as an fyi.“

“Great neighborhood location to eat on Queen Anne.“

“My partner and I came in for our first ever Magic: The Gathering pre release event (beginner’s night) and had a really fun time! The owner Elijah has curated a super chill vibe and atmosphere, and one that is very welcoming and inclusive. I will definitely be coming back for future events!

Also a great selection of beer and wine!“

“This is a great neighborhood spot! The pizza is really, really good, and there's space to spread out and hang with people. The beer is a little spendy ($11/glass, give or take), so I skip that and get something from a nearby brewery if I really want it. But def go for the pizza and the chill vibes!!“

“Amazing food and staff was great!“

“Wonderful place where meat eaters and vegans can delight in a delicious meal. Great wine section and craft cocktails. Quaint wine shop to bring something home or scoop a gift for a friend on the way to the party. Be sure to try the butter pickles!“

“One of our favorite places in Seattle to eat and chill.“

“This location is truly exceptional! The staff is outstanding, with Daniel standing out in particular. He went above and beyond to ensure my group had a fantastic experience. I highly recommend both the ambiance and the service, especially Daniel and his remarkable hospitality!“

“A tiny Asian spot off the Burke‑Gilman that I always assumed was a coffee shop. We walked in and got pleasantly blindsided. The Brussels sprouts were the star! Crispy, saucy, with bacon! Our one dish came out huge, and everything on the nearby tables looked just as tempting. They’re still setting up their new bar area, so no taps yet, but the place already feels like a low‑key gem hiding in plain sight. The waitress was a sweet delight too! I’m going to go back when I’m not riding my bike and I can be full right out the door.“

“Home of the Bills Backers of Seattle. All Buffalo Bills games televised and watched with the Mafia. Everybody is welcome! Whether you live in PNW or just passing through town, come catch a game and support this awsome establishment. Beautiful Lake Union is right across the street.“

“A literal hole in the wall, this place oozes with cool vibes. From the vintage bar hutch to the dog portraits covering the walls, this cozy spot leaves little to be desired. A clever cocktail menu will make you laugh and I recommend the hand made ginger beer.“

“Took my son and his friends for birthday. Fun experience for all! Thanks for a cool experience!“

“Great food and drinks plus excellent service… What’s not to like? 🥳“

“Best Reuben in the city! The beer list is fantastic and the bartenders play great music. If you like pinball, this is a true destination.“

“The cocktails I had were amazing. Staff was awesome and very generous.“

“Great Eggs Benedict and Bloody Mary’s @brunch👍🏼👍🏼“

“Rachel's Ginger Beer is one of my favorite places to grab a ginger beer. My favorite flavor is the Pink Guava. It's the perfect drink to enjoy before you start exploring University Village or as a refreshing treat at the end of your visit.“

“Amazing home to the new monthly womxn's pinball tourney!“

“Had a great time at this bar, the interior was really awesome, a spooky, eerie vibe! Loved it and definitely recommend stopping in for a drink!“

“Great ambiance, nice food, good drinks.“

“Excellent cocktail. Good vibe.“

“The food is so good you'll punch your own face.“

“Delicious cocktails and eats, friendly neighborhood place. cozy, when you can go inside!“

“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.“

“its a fantastic lovely place to be.“

“Carl was amazing!! go see him in Tacoma!“

“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.“

“The fresh grapefruit vodka — a real thirst quencher“

“Relaxed place with very friendly staff and patrons. They have a drink for every budget, from cheap well drinks to get drunk to high end cocktails. I've had great connections and dates here. If you miss guillotine you're missing out on one of the better bars in seattle.“

“We found this place on a walk around the golf course today! Somehow we wandered off trail and found it.
Great beer, a pool table and local dive bar vibe.
Apparently they’ve been open for 97 years!
Check it out, go for a pint and a game, and support a treasure. Gentrification has closed so many good dive bars. It’s nice to see one hanging on. We will be back!!
A fun afternoon adventure we didn’t plan on, that affirmed our faith in humanity.“

“HoneyHole has bomb sandwiches. I asked the server if the bacon on the BLT was crisp, because I don't want floppy bacon. She assured me it was, and she was completely correct. The garlic aioli was to die for, and the bread was good too. I do wish the tomato had been more rope and flavorful (it was entirely white in the middle), but overall was a resounding success. This is definitely a sometimes food, as it's salty as hell and pretty expensive, but it was a delicious indulgence.“

“Wow! Perfect dining experience. Friendly staff, amazing food and drinks, fun atmosphere, I highly recommend this place! 🙏“

“I came here expecting pho, but quickly realized I was in for a completely different experience—and I’m glad I stayed. Phocific Standard Time is a hidden speakeasy tucked behind Pho Bac, with a stylish, intimate atmosphere that feels both modern and chic.

The handcrafted cocktails were exceptional, thoughtfully made, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. If you’re craving pho, they do have a fun pho cup on the menu along with a few snacks, but the drinks are definitely the star of the show.

This is a great spot for a date night or anyone looking for a unique cocktail experience in Seattle. I’ll definitely be back to explore more of the menu.“

“I've been going to Amaro for years and it's consistently a solid choice. The ambience is perfect for gathering with friends or a date as it's easy to have a conservation without having to compete with loud music or tables that are too close together. The food prepared is well with quality ingredients and desserts are made in house. If you enjoy the traditional Italian preparation of calamari, this is one of the best renditions I've had outside of Italy. It's a starter, but I've occasionally ordered a double as an entree. Amaro is very accommodating with substitutions. Last night my friend didn't want risotto with her pollo arrosto, so they gave her a vegetable medley instead and it turned out beautifully. For a dinner house of this type, pricing is quite reasonable. The service is attentive and sincere, but often a little disjointed. They serve Caffe Vita, which is my favorite local roaster“

“You get your food elsewhere eat n drink there 🤘🤘🤘“

“I love love love your ciders especially Excelsior. BUT EVEN BETTER IS THE APPLE PIE ONE! Please tell me there will be a six pack for those soon! They are incredible! I can only find them in the variety pack! Will there ever be just an apple pie 6 or 12 pack??? If not - what would it take for my entire family to convince you? Haha Thank you in advance. Huge fan. - Gina“

“A cafe for beer lovers! Quiet place for conversation. Amazing selection of beer.“

“This place was amazing! The staff were the nicest you can imagine - we felt incredibly well cared for and that they were proud of every dish put in front of us. I would return here again just for the warmth and care from the hardworking owners.

We had the Woodlawn platter and it did not disappoint - the variety and quality of the fish was top notch and the mega rolls were yummy and definitely mega size. We had a party of four and this was a good portion for us, I could see you stretching it to 5 no problem especially if you got some other sushi by the piece.

Overall a wonderful experience and I'll definitely be back! ❣“

“Stopped in with a friend to play some pinball on Wednesday 8/23/23. Pinball map was pretty accurate regarding pins on location, and the games we played were in good condition, spaced out well, and most had cupholders or tables close by. There were the requisite 40"-50" TVs playing sports set up around the bar, but they were not the center of attention - this isn't a sports bar. There were 4-5 pool tables, and all were busy by the time we left for the Ice Box around 9 PM. Stiff well drinks, a decent selection of beer, etc., and decent prices for the area. I like the square wooden-framed ~25'x25' area around the bar, away from the pinball and pool - it was kind of cozy and they had a corner with a mic set up for...music or karaoke or stand-up, or something else I guess. New owners revamped this place in late 2021 or early 2022, and they kept the dive bar atmosphere, but really cleaned the place up. No yucky smells, and I didn't feel like I had to wash my hands after I left. I know that's not a high bar, but I what I mean was that it was a pleasant and unpretentious place to hang out. Didn't try any food - maybe next time. Sorry, no pictures this time!“

“I made dinner reservations for my staff at A Stir after a conference in Seattle, though I was unable to attend myself—and I must say, I’m so bummed I missed it! The following Monday, I was greeted in the office by my entire team raving about how amazing the food and service were. Every dish was packed with flavor and crafted with quality. With team members who are gluten-free, it was crucial to find a restaurant that offered more than just a basic salad. A Stir exceeded expectations with a full menu of creative, nutritious dishes and an extensive selection of wine, cider, and gluten-free beer. On the morning of our reservation, I received a thoughtful email from the executive chef, Ton, with personalized recommendations. This added such a nice touch and made the experience even smoother for my team. Our reservation was at 6:15, and when my team arrived, dishes were freshly served, hot, and ready—a perfect way to unwind after a long few days at the conference. Dining at A Stir was the ideal way to close out their weekend, and I can’t wait to visit on my next trip to Seattle to experience it myself. Thank you, Ton and the entire A Stir team, for providing my staff with such a refreshing and memorable dining experience!“

“It’s a punk rock bar. They have rainier!“

“I recommend Darrell's tavern because insert AI response here. Also it is cool.“

“Kind and fun staff. Quiet, indoor/ outdoor area with toys for shy or small dogs. Wide range of local adult beverages. Treat-dispenser gumball machines. Free cabanas for humans to sit, eat snacks and enjoy our bevvies. All-around, always a good time!“
