Best & Cool Bars in Snohomish

"Ballard’s roots are as a Scandinavian fishing community and those roots shine through at The Walrus and the Carpenter – a clever name for a place that specializes in super fresh oysters. The menu also features non-oyster seafood, ranging from salmon to sardines, and changes daily to showcase the freshest seafood the restaurant can get. The restaurant itself is cute and cozy… and popular."

"When you’re ready for dinner, retrace your steps to Ballard Avenue and wait in line for the city’s best oyster bar at the superb The Walrus and the Carpenter. Bars in Ballard are among the city’s best, so take a tipple at Noble Fir or King’s Hardware, and drink as the anglers once did on these very streets."

"You can paddle your kayak or drive your boat straight to Westward’s dock and then relax in one of the Adirondack chairs lining the coast overlooking Lake Union and wait for the waiter to bring you a glass of wine while you try to decide whether to go for the salmon gravlax tartine or the wood-fired striped mullet. While Westward’s dining room is lovely, with large windows and tasteful nautical décor, their outdoor patio is so wonderful that it is usually packed – the view is that spectacular. There is an atmosphere of a celebration, with colorful umbrellas during the day and distant sparkling city lights at night."

"Restaurants North Broadway. Overlooking Seattle’s Lake Union, Westward shows off all the goodies that the Pacific Northwest has to offer in every single dish. The venue also happens to be a fantastic destination for a romantic evening, during which lovers can gaze at the sunset from one of the adirondack chairs overlooking the lake."

"Set on the northern shore of Lake Union—a body of water the size of Monaco—this rustic-chic, nautical-themed restaurant offers dazzling views of the Space Needle and downtown skyline. Its menu blends Mediterranean flavors with local bounty: Expect..."

"It’s easy to say the charm of this serene Eastlake dining room is all about Taichi Kitamura, the genial presence behind the sushi bar. But that would do a disservice to his carefully sourced seasonal seafood, not to mention composed plates, like rich black cod glazed in miso or chawanmushi layered with crabmeat. In matters of sushi, Kitamura knows when to simply showcase pristine fish and when to introduce a little flair—or jalapeño."

"I called and was told outdoor seating was first come first serve. We arrived 15 min later and was told that they actually couldn't sit us outside be..."

"For healthy eating with a Peruvian twist, Pink Salt is an ideal establishment. Located in the cozy Magnolia neighborhood of Seattle, Pink Salt is owned and operated by Peruvian born restaurateurs who specialize in their national flavors. For years, Peruvian food and drink has been regarded as having the best food in all of South America, blending a wide variety of cultures, including Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, Italian, and African dishes."

"Expat-approved Peruvian fare like lomo saltado, ceviche, and pollo a la brasa (and a kids menu). Order online for takeout or third-party delivery."

"Though dining outdoors is an option provided by a number of restaurants in Seattle’s charming Ballard neighborhood, few offer a space as enchanting as the back patio at Percy’s & Co. With lush foliage nearly everywhere you look, it’s a fitting environment to enjoy one of their herbaceous, apothecary-inspired cocktails like the Midnight Bloom, finished with a swirl of lavender-infused honey. Adria Saracino of The Emerald Palate and self-guided Seattle food tours states, “Percy’s & Co. is one of my go-to bars in Ballard."
