Best Nightlife in Kirkland

"One of Seattle’s enduring Italian restaurants, located at Post Alley, recently reopened for indoor dining, with plenty of well-crafted pasta selections, including squid ink spaghetti with grilled prawns, cauliflower, and anchovy, and its popular spinach lasagna. Diners who plan ahead should try to score a spot on the outdoor deck, although summer bookings are filling up fast. View this post on Instagram"

"You know you’ve found the restaurant when you see the metal pink door in the Post Alley of Pike Place Market. Call ahead for reservations as this place gets booked, but it’s worth it. Enjoy a martini on the rooftop overlooking Elliott Bay, or have a cozy dinner indoors in an Italian atmosphere."

"If you really want to go all out on your date night, The Pink Door is perhaps the most magnificent dinner date experience in Seattle. The restaurant has a secret entrance, incredib..."

"This small and intimate space is definitely one of the best romantic restaurants in the city. Chef Jason Stratton preps a truly impressive menu of authentic Italian dishes like rab..."

"Spinasse, located in Capitol Hill, serves up Italian cuisine specific to the Piedmont Region. They have a stellar all-Piedmont wine list, fresh handmade pasta, and locally sourced ..."

"Our number one restaurant choice is Seattle’s ‘The Walrus and the Carpenter’, an eatery that was developed by a trio of friends, Chad Dale, Renee Erickson, and Jeremy Price. The doors opened in 2010, which means that its awesome success has happened in a very short period of time, and amongst old timers that are located all around. Menu offerings include eight types of oysters, six types of vegetables in a variety of forms, prawns, mussels, clams, scallops, and sardines, as well as steak, sausage, cheeses, and incredible sweet dishes that are enough to make your mouth water."

"Award-winning Chef Renee Erickson (The Whale Wins, Bateau, Barnacle, Bar Melusine) partnered with Business Manager Jeremy Price and Developer Chad Dale to realize her long-time vision for an oyster bar. It makes perfect sense then, that she would do it in her own neighborhood. The Walrus and the Carpenter blends the elegance of France with the casual comfort of a local fishing pub."

"Sometimes you just need a really REALLY fun oyster bar to hang out in on the weekend. The Walrus and the Carpenter is here to save the day!. They've been around for a few years but ..."

"Westward & Little Gull on North Lake Union serves a Mediterranean menu for brunch and dinner in a stunning location with a lakeside view. Executive Chef Zoi Antonitsas balances Mediterranean and Northwest flavors, and many of his dishes are prepared in a wood-burning oven. The approach of those who run this water-inspired restaurant is natural and casual, with a focus on fresh ingredients and high-quality produce."

"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."

", Westward has been making waves in the restaurant scene both locally and across the country. The spawn of The Skillet Group’s Josh Henderson, this restaurant combines a trendy-meets-classic nautical aesthetic with Mediterranean-inspired dishes. Best of all, it sits right at the edge of scenic north Lake Union."

"Amber Seattle is one of the most spacious bars and restaurants in town. In other words, it provides you with floor area of up to 10,000 square feet. You can find some great dishes in this floor area."

"From prolific Continental classicist Vuong Loc comes a sleek, modern, and crisp-edged room that looks like Fremont but cooks like France. Off a wood-fired grill come highly composed plates of unapologetically traditional fare—glistening short ribs over cauliflower puree with shallot confit, slices of lamb leg on an anise-fennel-carrot braise, moist pan-roasted chicken in a lush sherry sauce—executed with a seasoned hand and near-perfect consistency. Desserts are busy, busy, busy—but delectable."

"One of the most cosmopolitan lunch and dinner stops in Seattle, its packed bar and plummy fixtures and soaring sight lines making it feel like a great party in a gloriously unaffordable home. The huge room has plenty of seating options, romantic (the corner table in the bar should have a room number) to solo to life of the party, from which to sample the classic food of seasoned chef Thierry Rautureau (and his staff from the former Rover’s). Look for careful execution on short, well-chosen menus of both French classics (terrific fish dishes, seared foie gras) and accessible everyman food, like the killer 16-buck rib-eye burger, at prices below what you might expect amid this much style."

"French meets Northwest at this restaurant from The Chef in the Hat, Thierry Rautureau. Loulay has whatever ambiance you may want—cozy tables, high energy bar seating, even a private room for parties. Stop for appetizers and a cocktail or a delicious dinner, just make sure you order dessert."

"This family-run Mexican restaurant in Eastlake has been featured on the Food Network and the Travel Channel for its picture-perfect, mouthwatering food and knock-out view of Lake Union from the large outdoor seating area. It’s also known for its top-notch tequila bar and making the ‘Don Juan of margaritas so a popular place to grab a drink on a summer evening, but the food and setting are kid-friendly. Kids will love the made-fresh guacamole and chips; quesadillas; and the rice and beans with avocado skillet."

"Eastlake is an understated neighborhood of Seattle tucked in between the east bank of Lake Union and the roaring Interstate 5 humming toward Capitol Hill. There are numerous restaurants sprinkled about, including this great waterfront joint serving up tasty Mexican flair with a beautiful view. A local place, Little Water Cantina offers a charming perspective of the active water economy with views of Gasworks Park and boats galore."

"Take in Gas Works Park and taxiing sea planes from the picnic benches on the back patio, most likely over some serviceable Mexican food and excellent drinks (which can take a while to make it to your table, given the sunny day crowds)."

"Chef Sara Eveland has worked in the Seattle food scene for 15 years. She started selling cookies out of Watson’s Counter in Ballard as a way to share something independent of the restaurants she works in. You can also find her cookies at popups like Chachis Pizza, Big Footlongs, and Good Shape Pizza."

"This 19th Avenue spot sounds so simple, but owner Robin Wehl finds the sweet spot between homespun and creativity: Salted butterscotch. Oatmeal chocolate chip with tart cherries in lieu of raisins. The mackle’smore plunks a s’more cookie on top of a graham cracker, and the birthday cake cookie sports enough sprinkles to garnish an entire sundae."

"Japanese , Sushi"

"Nishino serves up traditional, as well as innovative and speciality sushi. Other than the ala carte sashimi, rolls, noodles and starters, they also offer omakase-style dining, where you sit back, relax and let the chef bring to you the freshest and best catch of the day. Located just a few steps away from Washington Park Playfield, the great location gives you a chance to have a walk after your delicious and fulfilling meal."

"Upscale crowds applaud this lovely restaurant for a sushi bar that delivers maki and sashimi fashioned from the day's freshest catches. In addition, cooked items and luscious omakase meals are available for diners who crave something besides sushi. Nishino's subdued atmosphere provides a perfect environment for enjoying a relaxing dinner, whether it's in the colorful dining room or on the peaceful outdoor patio."

"It’s all white-tablecloth loveliness in this longtime favorite at the portal of Madison Park, which serves exquisite sushi, along with some intriguing fusion items. Bring the geoduck neophytes. Slightly pricy; everyone’s a regular."

"I traveled lots of places eating sushi and I'd like to say Taneda sushi is definitely on the top level, as good as in Tokyo. There are some customiz..."

"Scientifically crafting some of Seattle's best beer Stoup's beautifully balanced beers have made it a local favorite, and a standout (even in a neighborhood bursting with breweries) since it was founded five years ago by a chemist and a former biology teacher -- with a lil’ help from a certified Cicerone -- whose science background can be seen throughout their no-frills taproom, including the beaker-style measurement systems on their glasses. You should probably fill said glasses with their Baltic Porter -- it's the 1,000th beer they’ve made and won a silver medal at this year's North American Beer Awards -- or really any of the dozen beers they've got on tap. Except the Citra IPA. It tastes like sunshine in a glass and we don't want to share it with anyone else."

"Stoup's beautifully balanced beers have made it a local favorite, and a stand out even in a neighborhood bursting with breweries.

You can fill said glasses with any of a dozen beers they've got on tap, including the Citra IPA, which tastes like sunshine in a glass.How to order: The taproom is open daily, but you can also order online for pick-up or delivery."

"Feeling the need to have great local Seattle beer and experience a fun food truck experience with a cool neighborhood buzz?"

"Partway between Fremont and Ballard, this brewery and pub warrants a stop-over. This spacious venue boasts a philosophy that promotes being sustainable and healthy too. Hale's employs an age-old English brewing method that features an ale yeast that has long been specially adapted for the open-topped fermenters (of the traditional English brewery)."

"Founded in 2009, this well-loved brewery is famous for its artisanal, barrel aged, small-batch beers. The company is dedicated to sustainability, using local and organic (when available) ingredients for its beers, and this dedication has certainly paid off. It won Best Brewery in the 2018 Seattle Refined So Northwest Awards, as well as the 2018 Best Local Brewery/Tasting Room and Best of Barrel Aged Beer from Seattle Magazine."

"Possibly the Northwest's most popular brewery Ahhhhh, Fremont. Center of the universe. And arguably the center of Seattle's brewing universe, thanks to its series of small-batch artisan beers made with local ingredients by a long-time environmentalist/community organizer in a very sustainable way."

"Head out to Fremont Brewing’s Urban Beer Garden for some tasty brewskies. The tasting room is open every day from 12 to 9 pm and features lovely benches underneath tents. Location: 1050 N 34th Street, SeattlePhone: 206-420-2407Instagram"
