50 Best Bars near Tukwila

“Amazing local scene venue!“

“I had such a great experience at JOEY Southcenter due to our lovely server McKenna. She was patient although I am extremely indecisive and she helped me make some great choices!“

“Beware! Only gives amazing service & creates excellent dishes!! Husband and I had such a laid back and refined experience, even in the late hours of the evening when most servers are not at their peak of energy, our server Jayson was superb. He made top notch drinks for us, equally skilled at their signature beverages (cocktails and virgin mocktails). Highly recommend!“

“Nice hotel restaurant. Plenty of different level seating. Food was fresh and service was very good. Prices were fair for the area. The fish fry was hot and tasty. The burger and fries was good. Plenty of special drinks and food choices from salads to steaks.“

“I had a great food and great service. I could not have asked for anything to be different. I loved the happy hour specials. I look forward to returning. I recommend a visit sooner than later as sadly the parent company has been closing even popular locations for more profitable chains.“

“We LOVED the amazing options for vegetarians! Different lentil dishes, some spicy, some not. There was a cabbage dish, a beet dish, and salad that was dressed to perfection. The bread was a lovely sponge texture that held up for picking up food, but was still so soft to eat. Loved the variety of flavors and spice (or mild) in this plate! Lovely music and friendly staff! If you're looking for a vegetarian or vegan meal, it's amazing!“

“I walked in to numerous employees greeting me. Everyone working here was amazing. Melanie and Morgan really made me feel like the only person in Twin Peaks. The food came out exceptionally fast and is was pretty good. Cloth napkins are a plus in my book. Cold beer, great food and drink specials, plus TVs everywhere made it exactly what I wanted tonight. Keep rockin and doing great job everyone. Slainte✌️😎👍“

“This is our 2nd time coming here. My husband ordered steak tacos and I ordered a chicken chimichanga. We both had black beans instead of refried beans. We will be back.“

“this place is awesome. good food, good drinks, good service. dang, Seattle , you got some good food.“

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

“This place is a gem! Go now! It's outside of the fray of the market. The staff is so kind and attentive. A lovely break from sightseeing.“

“The happy hour beverage options are fantastic, I had a delicious Old Fashioned for a steal! The tots are always the best and the chicken sandwich was so crispy and delicious. My only complaint is that there is no option for grilled chicken/protein to be added to the salads. The options are either fried chicken or fried shrimp. My wife ordered a salad to be calorie conscious but the only way to add protein was for it to be fried, which negates the point. Add grilled protein options and this would be a 5 start review!“

“We happened upon the Diller room on our way back from Pikes Place market … what an unexpected but fantastic stop! If you love bourbon (and we DO) this lovely historic bar is a must visit. The bottle selection is exceptional, and Shawn our bartender provided great pours and the most welcoming attitude despite how busy he was!! A true gem of an experience in the emerald city!“

“The Chicken Tacos were perfect! Great place to grab a coffee or smoothie in the morn, then get a sandwich for lunch. when you get off, work go back and have a quick dinner with a drink! they have parking!! (tip your servers, they deserve it). Great prices & convenient if you work, play or live in the area.“

“This place has amazing, succulent chicken (thighs!), tasty sauces, and a bunch of other great-looking items on the menu. Location is awesome too, on the walk from stadiums to transit, next to Trinity nightclub, right in Pioneer Square. This place should take off!“

“Such a fun place to grab a craft cocktail and some pho. The drinks were very unique and the pho was surprisingly very good. We also tried the Tofu Dip and the spring rolls. The dip was delicious but very rich and the spring rolls were very fresh. We definitely ordered too much food but it was delicious and a fun experience.“

“This was our first visit. I saw their menu and a few pics on line and decided to give it a try. This is a charming gem of a restaurant. Our bartender/server, Chloe was very nice and made fabulous looking drinks. I had wine but will try one of her cocktails next time. The food was so good! Can’t wait to go back.“

“Hidden Gem on Beacon Hill ✨
When I arrived at Family Friend, I honestly wasn’t sure if we were in the right spot. This hidden treasure only reveals itself by a small neon sign — unassuming, but absolutely worth the find. Once inside, I felt an immediate sense of warmth and comfort.

There was no hostess at first, but we were seated quickly by Sharon, whose smile and energy could light up any room. Her service alone deserves a standing ovation — patient, kind, and passionate about every dish she described.

🍲 Start with the Corn Soup (Rosary Style) — sweet corn, tender chicken thighs, coconut milk, onion, and garlic. It’s silky, vibrant, and layered with comfort and spice.

🥬 The Gollai Hågun Sope — mustard greens & kale in coconut milk and turmeric over corn. A vegan dream — not a large portion, but rich in flavor and nourishment.

🥟 Riyenu Empanadas — beautiful in presentation, though a bit too fried for my taste. The creamy green fina’dene sauce, however, was divine and worth the order alone.

🍹 Signature Old Fashioned — honey-forward and sweeter than expected; if you’re a traditionalist, you might prefer a classic version.

The outdoor patio was my favorite surprise — warm heaters, cozy art-covered walls, and an intimate setup perfect for date nights or quiet reflection. Accessibility was great, and while I wouldn’t call it “kid-focused,” it’s perfect for adults seeking calm conversation and quality food.

✨ Final thoughts: Modern, soulful, and filled with heart. A neighborhood must-try that feels like home away from home. I’ll be back to try the fried chicken and smash burger everyone’s raving about.

“service was very extremely welcoming and prompt. My first time here and I was craving Chinese food - I Ordered takeout which was promptly delivered hot in compostable and biodegradable takeout containers. No chopsticks or napkins offered. I ordered the egg rolls and prawn dumplings. I thought my appetizers lacked flavor; I couldn’t taste any prawns or the pork. I was so sad, but I would go back and try something else one more time….“

“Loved the service and ambience, fun place to catch up on major WWE events! It was a random find to catch up with a vibrant crowd and enthusiasm accompanied by cocktails, on tap drinks and nachos! 🍻 They have a minimal Food menu: nachos with cheese and jalapenos, Hot dogs (2 options). But you can get your own food from other restaurants inside Lariat.
Booth seating, high stool bar seats or just lounge on the old charm seats.
Requesting Lariat to add fries to their menu!“

“Live music, good food, funky atmosphere, great staff, cocktails, and walking distance. What’s not to love. Check this place out.“

“Highly recommend! The buffalo chicken salad was the best salad I’ve had in a long time.“

“The staff here were very friendly and the ginger beer was soooo good omg I might just order some online and ship it home. I only planned to go here once during my trip but I definitely made time to come back again before I left Seattle it was that good. I got the black current ginger beer with gin“

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

“Great food great service great atmosphere 👌“

“Great vibes, awesome decor“

“Been reading about this burger for months now, and I finally willed myself to go down there to check it out. I had the double tavern and the chili fries. I’ll start with the fries, crispy and hand cut. The chili and was great and the sour cream and scallions were a nice touch. Huge portions though so they’re great for sharing. Now the burger, I had moderate expectations based off reviews and pictures. I always leave establishments disappointed when I have higher expectations so I came in with an open mind. I decided to dine in because all food tastes better when it’s Hot and fresh, and it was just that. The meat was cooked perfectly, the cheese melted all the way through, and the sauce was nice and light. The onions gave it a nice kick as well. It was very good. Beware, although it is a double, it is kind of small, so you can definitely kill a couple of them before you start feeling full. It’s really good overall, and I’ll definitely put it in my top burgers in Seattle (probably right next to The Red Mill.) These burgers were also a nice change of pace to fast food burgers, more expensive and the fries are extra but really worth it if you want just a nice, juicy, messy burger. I’ll be back to try the rest of the menu items.“

“You must visit at least once! Cool decor, creative drinks, great food. Reservations recommended.“

“I’ve always loved honey hole and will be the first to say the two owners between the first and current were awful. The new-ish owners are slaying though. Quality right back up there to call it the best comfort food on the hill. Get mama lils on the gooch and be ready to sigh in pleasure.“

“I support establishments that support inclusivity“

“Overall this was a great bar. Great cocktails, service, and atmosphere. What was shocking to me and hesitate to come back are the $25 cocktails. They do have amazing cocktails but wowza with tax and tip and spending $30 per drink, my belly is happy but my wallet is not. Don’t regret coming though!“

“Magical 🧙 Amazing 🤩 EVERYTHING 🧜‍♀️ from NE ❣️“

“This place is great. I wish I had a place like this near my home in Illinois, because I would be there everyday.

On our trip to Seattle we stumbled upon this gem and found the whole vibe - for us, at least - to be comfortable and welcoming, with great music and attentive staff. Maybe not for everyone, but we REALLY loved Black Cat.

We met and talked with a variety of fun and interesting people - locals and otherwise - in there, and the overall experience was outstanding.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!“

“8-bit Arcade said they were wheelchair accessible and guess what?! THEY WERE. Not only could I get through the aisles, but the bathroom set up was an example in inclusion!! The door was easy to open and lock, the sink was easy to get under, the doorway was absolutely wide enough to get in and out of and there was enough room to maneuver for my wheelchair inside the bathroom!!!! It was amazing. Plus the staff was kind, courteous and even gave us a warning when the loud speakers, near us, were used!! Absolutely recommend!! 🫶“

“Historical saloon with tasty food and drinks. Also, great atmosphere for amazing live music. Highly recommended!“

“A good place to stop in for a drink on a cold and rainy night. My bartender was awesome! The logo is pretty cool with an anchor and fishing hook!“

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

“I’m not sure who had more fun at Growlerz, my dog or I!? I enjoyed great company in the sun, with a cold glass of suds. My lab went home happy as a lark and exhausted. Our experience was five star!! 😁“

“I love the cocktails, the people, and the atmosphere ❤️“

“I felt like I was teleported in time to an early Nirvana performance during my visit. Central Saloon was on my Seattle bucket list and I am more than glad that I visited the venue. As a Nirvana fan, I was able to see where they had one of their first concerts ever if not their first concert. I enjoyed visited a music history site. The staff was also very polite, friendly, respectful and professional. I highly recommend visiting Central Saloon.“

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

“We hosted a small surprise whiskey tasting for my husband on his birthday here, and the staff were amazingly accommodating and super helpful to our group of 10! They truly went above and beyond to help keep the element of surprise, made things so easy for us, and had the cozy back area all set up for us to host. Colby was super knowledgeable about whiskey and took amazing care of us for the night. Thanks so much for helping us throw a special birthday celebration, we had a great time!“

“Fun times!!! #SPIN #FridayTings“

“A great place to hang out, with plenty of themed events going on. The Halloween event and costume party were particularly fun. Drinks are typically priced, and seating is at a premium, so arrive early to stake out a spot. Well worth the price of admission ($30 for the Halloween party).“

“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.“

“Honestly my favorite pub in the whole city. I kinda wish I still lived in West Seattle so I could go here every week. Impeccable tap and bottle list that features not only local but many of my favorite European beers. Friendly bartenders. Coziest place in Seattle.“

“Great drinks and atmosphere; the drinks are very expensive, but they are tasty and boozy. There were only two bartenders working and it was a Friday night so we often had to wait 5-10 minutes to be able to order a drink. Artwork was cool, vibes were immaculate 👌 there is no food on the menu but a couple restaurants next door that are open ~10pm“

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

“Superb. Relaxed. Great beverages.“
