50 Best Bars near Vashon

“We Love Ruby Brink! Burger night—say no more…! The beef dip sandwich on the lunch menu is another favorite. We love eating here for so many reasons though. This isn’t a “high staff turnover” type restaurant where you’ll be greeted by stressed out workers plastered with fake smiles fighting over tables like you might be used you. This is a grown-up establishment with grown-up food and grown-up and experienced, competent and empowered staff and I appreciate how this dynamic expressed itself in terms of guest experience. When I say that the food is grown-up I mean that it is carefully selected and prepared from scratch and this means it does not taste like what other restaurants are doing, which often is buying bags of frozen soup and sauces from the chef supply store to keep costs down and to keep everything tasting exactly the same, every time. You will taste different things here and that might surprise you. Ready yourself for that and enjoy!“

“Magasin magnifique avec un large choix de produits. Déco, cadeaux, cosmétiques, aménagement extérieurs... Équipe agréable, souriante et à l'écoute. Je recommande“

“Why does May's Thai food taste so much better than Thai food in the Seattle Metro area? Is it the country air? Is it because you have to take a ferry to enjoy it? I don't know the answer, but it is delicious! Make May's Kitchen your destination restaurant experience this summer.“

“An old fashioned hardware store turned into a modern day restaurant. The few remnants of the store are a handful of photos and cast iron stove.

Portions are generous and service is friendly. There were four of us and we had the brussel sprouts which were too salty, hippie black bean burger, Cesar salad with too much dressing and poke bowl.“

“Everything I’ve had here is so good! Feature items are always thoughtful and delicious. A regular menu go to is the twice baked potato, which is always so good. This weekend she featured a crab roll, which is one of the best I’ve ever had service is friendly and personal, and the environment is very cozy and welcoming.“

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

“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.“

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

“This place is so cool. Its wrestling themed and right across from tomb of treasure. Great staff and the hot dogs are good 2.
The arcade is even wrestling themed with great pinball machines.
The tables have really cool wrestling photos.“

“I love this place. The themed nights here are great.“

“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….“

“What a treasure of a spot! So glad we checked this out. The atmosphere and tunes are so well curated. I'm fussy, and asked for a custom cocktail and they did not disappoint. Can't wait to return with some buds. If you like unique bars with thoughtful decor and cohesive design this is the place.“

“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.“

“@manao chicken burgers 🍔 and drinks“

“Great place w amazing service! Ian will take care of ya“

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

“Service was great with large portions of food!“

“Great food, great drinks, great atmosphere, great staff, what else do you need!?“

“Always a fun time with great friends!! Doesn’t get any better!!“

“I’ve never been super into vegetarian or vegan food options but this restaurant makes me rethink my approach. They have a creative menu and high quality food. Everything I try ends up being my new favorite.“

“Live Jazz in a secret location.“

“Best beer & wine pub in Gig Harbor“

“The staff is wonderful. Everyone who works here does an amazing job. They are so kind and attentive.
The ownership seems lacking. They seem to make the women dress in a way to attract male customers. I worry that there is no one to protect them. I came to watch the Mainers playoffs with 6 other women. We had a great time and our service was really great. We get together weekly and we’d like to come here but we’d also like to see the women who work here treated better. They are so good at their jobs. They are super kind and on top of things. What we hate is watching men stare at their asses while they are doing their jobs.
We have a large community here that like this this place. We’d like to support this bar if you can treat your workers better 😊“

“Great dining. Excellent staff taking care of details. Food was delish !“

“If you haven’t been to The Bridge for dinner or happy hour yet, you are missing out! I just had an incredible meal that was a total chef’s kiss.
​I ordered the Carne Asada steak tacos, and they were perfect—served with a side of fresh guacamole that hit the spot. Now, I know what you’re thinking: fries with tacos? Trust me on this one. Their fries are perfectly crispy and, surprisingly, they go with tacos pretty Great.
​Whether you’re looking for a solid dinner spot or a great happy hour vibe in West Seattle, this is the place to be. Highly recommended! 🌮🍟✨“

“Super fun vibe! Karaoke is amaze!“

“Visited with some friends, ordered garlic burger medium with a little pink however it didn’t have any pink. Still was a good burger. Friends ordered fish and chips and they were a little bit overdone but they said it was still good.“

“Great food and fast service! The waitress was wonderful! I had the grilled salmon. it was amazing!“

“Chill place Love that they are open late“

“This upbeat dive bar is my go-to hangout spot and has been for years now! They have two pool tables, two styles of soft-tip darts, and enough boards for everyone.
On top of that, they have Golden Tee, pull tabs, and a great back patio with a flatscreen and fire pit table in a covered back patio-perfect for chilling with friends! The best part? The staff is absolutely amazing. I came in as a stranger and left feeling like family the very first time I visited. The amount of regulars speaks for itself. Plus, they slice their own deli meats, so you'll definitely want to come hungry! If you're looking for a fun place to unwind, why not give Siren a try? You just might fall in love with a bar 😘“

“I like this place a lot. In actuality it probably doesn't deserve 5 stars, but that's what I like about it. I just have never had a bad time there. Sometimes we get a table right away and sometimes we don't. Sometimes we get a better table; sometimes we don't. But everytime I've enjoyed myself, and my experiences with the staff have always been good. I also really like that you can order food from next door and bring it in with you.“

“A totally secret little gem in Georgetown. I don’t want to say anything about it publicly because I’d hate to see it get too busy but I have to say something about it because it deserves to thrive. it is the go to place to pick up a great meal whether it be a cheeseburger or the perfect wedge salad. Curds or the loaded potatoes! the bartender on Thursdays is one of the cities best, funny and helpful. The crowd is local celebrities. If you haven’t been here, make a point to.“

“The most comfortable and welcoming establishment in the Junction of West Seattle. Friendly service, great selection, and a quintessential watering hole. Come for a quick pint or bring a crowd for a game - Poggie’s will deliver the classics with ease and no nonsense. Do yourself a favor and drink like a local at Poggie’s. You won’t regret it!🍻“

“I love this place. It has been the most welcoming place since I moved here. Look don't expect to get a full meal here but everything else is fantastic. The atmosphere, the people, the cheap drinks. All the bartenders (Kate, Shelley, Maat, Carrie, and Haelee) are all great! If you're looking for a dive bar to go to this is the one!“

“Great beer with awesome beertenders.“

“My absolutely favorite bar in West Seattle. Amazing atmosphere but please hire nicer people as bartenders, people who actually have customer service skills. Often get one bartender who is very rude and unpersonable, seems to hate her job. 💔“

“Went in tonight for the first time. Very cute bartender. I will be going back.“

“what a great time at the Manchester Pub. Hope to be back there soon .🎶🎵♥️“

“Nice vibe, sucks that the one and only TV was broken on the night of the 1st football game of the season but we watched it on a phone. There was no AC seemingly so it was super hot and when you’re getting tipsy the warmth is that much worse. The cider is a mix of yummy and mid. We tried several cider flights, about 12 flavors and I only really enjoyed maybe 3? Anyways the food was great, my partner and I tried the circus burger, basket fries and the popcorn chicken. WARNING: it’s not really popcorn chicken. I was hella hungry thinking it was actually gonna be popcorn sized and so I ordered the 20 piece, BIG MISTAKE, if you’re one person, order the 8 piece. It’s not popcorn sized or even chicken nugget sized. It’s like even larger than if you ordered boneless wings at wing stop. Not bad, just ordered too much food and I unfortunately get the OPPOSITE of the drunchies! Attached photo for reference. It’s delicious though and so is the sauce.“

“We had a date night here and were absolutely impressed. The Beecher’s grilled cheese and butternut squash soup was a stand out. Both of our pasta entrees were phenomenal as well. The star of the show, though, was our dessert, which was a deconstructed PB&J. I don’t think I’ve ever had something that had such a wide variety of complementary textures. It was amazing and flavorful.“

“Great hangout in West Seattle“

“Hy lu Hee Hee ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Hy Lu Hee Hee means “Good Times and Lots of Laughter.” The Hy lu Hee Hee is a Gig Harbor, WA local’s hang-out that got it start as a Tavern in 1935. In 1958, the State condemned the tavern building and asked that the business vacate the premises, so they could build a new highway to Purdy. The business was rebuilt in 1983, in a new location, by new owners, which is where it has remained ever since. I have been visiting Gig Harbor since 1990, but my first visit to the Hy Lu Hee Hee wasnt until 5/19/23, which was a Friday. Although I arrived before 9 PM, the music was LOUD! I’ve decided to do a sound check via the app SoundPrint. It averaged 83 dB and got as high as 88 dB, which is considered Very Loud. That would’ve been acceptable if I had signed up to see a live band, but it wasn’t. It was bad pre-recorded music, being played over blown speakers.  I had to shout out my order. Everyone around me was shouting too. My server told me this is the norm after 9 PM. Unless you’re already deaf, or enjoy the thought of shouting at your dining companions, I recommend you visit the Hy Lu Hee Hee earlier in the day.  I ordered one of the five house favorites on the menu, Fish + Chips ($17) - Breaded and Seasoned Wild Alaskan True Cod with Fries, House Slaw + Tartar Sauce. Compared to all the fish and chips I’ve eaten in Washington state, it was pretty standard fare. It was a generous portion of fries, and I liked the housemade tartar sauce. The coleslaw had decent flavor, but it obviously been made sometime ago and was swimming in liquid. Personally, I prefer Tides Tavern, which is another Gig Harbor local’s hang out, but I’ll be back at some point to visit the Hy lu Hee Hee. Next time, I’ll just make sure to do it earlier in the day. * I would like to share some photos of my dining experience, including a picture of my fish and chips, but that option is disabled on this page. “

“Best chicken fried steak in Washington!!“

“I’ve dined at El Gran Taco twice and I’ve been very impressed with the quality of the food and its large menu . The service was exceptional with a smile. ❤️❤️“

“Omg. I had the Crunchwrap Superior and it was sooooo gooooood.“

“Pre game and awesome service“

“Excellent service from Elizabeth! She was so friendly and attentive! I ordered brisket with mac & cheese and potato salad and my friend ordered the bacon & blues burger with a brisket add on and talk about mouth watering! We also ordered the fried pickle jar and highly recommend that appetizer! We saved our leftovers for the next day and it went just as hard! Amazing hospitality from this establishment and the vibe was so country it felt like we were back home in Texas! Don’t skip out on the banana pudding and a big thank you to management and the cooks who help keep the place running smooth!“

“This is one of the best places I have eaten period. I have never had 5 star cooking from a fancy chef like Bobby Flay or iron Chef Cat Cora. But I feel like if I did this should be the level of cooking I should get. The buttermilk biscuit and creole chicken with that honey and cream sauce was absolutely AMAZING.. Thank you for suck good food.“

“I didn't have any of the cider, so my review doesn't include that (including my 'price per person').
It's a fun place, and is kid friendly. It's somewhat 'group seating', as there are a number of long tables with chairs. It's not the easiest place to find (go through the Inn's parking lot)

There are lots of pinball and video games, and they take quarters, so you won't leave with a bunch of tokens in your pocket.
The pizza isn't bad, but I wouldn't go there just for it. We stayed for some of the trivia, which was fun and got everyone there talking to each other, as you swap answer sheets to do the scoring.
Had a good time.“
