About
Welcome to the vibrant heart of Seattle’s Greenwood neighborhood—74th St Ale House. This establishment is not just a bar; it’s a gathering place where friends and families come together over hearty, New American cuisine and a refreshing selection of brews. Nestled at 7401 Greenwood Ave N, this cozy locale welcomes everyone with open arms.
One of the standout features of 74th St Ale House is its inviting atmosphere. With outdoor seating available, it’s a perfect spot for those long summer evenings. Its moderate noise level and casual setting make it an outstanding choice for both lunch and dinner. The restaurant is particularly lively on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, creating a buzz that enhances your dining experience.
As a food reviewer who loves uncovering hidden gems, I was genuinely impressed by the menu here. The dishes are crafted with care, highlighting the best of local flavors. For instance, James M. describes a hamburger served on a baguette, loaded with fried onions and peppers. It’s reminiscent of a Philly cheesesteak, but with a Pacific Northwest twist. This creativity resonates throughout the menu, making each visit an exploration of taste.
The drink selections are equally noteworthy. With a focus on beer and wine, their offering includes local craft selections like the Black Raven Second Sight Scotch Ale and the renowned Guinness Nitro Irish Stout. For wine lovers, the list features notable labels such as the 2015 Novelty Hill Chardonnay from Washington—a delightful complement to your meal.
Perhaps what makes 74th St Ale House truly special is its ability to create a sense of community. Regulars chat joyously, and newcomers are welcomed like old friends. With excellent service, great food, and a lively atmosphere, this pub is a restaurant every neighborhood deserves. So, if you’re in Seattle and looking for a place that’s as cozy as it is vibrant, look no further than 74th St Ale House—you will not be disappointed!
“ Fun friendly local place. Hamburger to die for on a baguette with fried onions and peppers kinda like a Philly cheesesteak. We'll be back! ”
“ very very good food. come in and get whatever the special is. i like to stop by when i have a little extra money to spend and want to treat myself. most of the regulars seem to be old people that give me judgey eyes, but im used to that as a non asian brown person in seattle haha. the employees that i have interacted with have all been very nice, and the wait for food is never very long. ”
“ A great lunch spot in the neighborhood! They had sports on the TV which was great and the portions were massive. Great spot for a drink and for a meal if that's what you're into. ”
“ The soup was actually a gumbo but they called it Andouille Chicken soup. It was gumbo perfection. The cook must be from Louisiana. Love this place. ”
“ Every neighborhood deserves a place like this. Cozy and warm. Superlative ales and ciders. Amazing pub food. The blackened salmon sandwich and the pesto pasta is amazing. 5 easy stars! ”
“ We met up with an old friend at the 74th Street Ale House last night for drinks, dinner, and conversation! While the 74th street ale house may seem unassuming, I always throughly enjoyed the food and atmosphere. I almost always order the Blackened Salmon Sandwich with a side salad, you just can't beat it! The salmon is flavored wonderfully, and is always tender and flaky. The others in my group ordered the Chicken Breast sandwich and the Argentinian Pork Sandwich, respectively. I would say the restaurant is always busy, even on a Wednesday night at 6pm almost all the tables were full, so don't expect the waiter to bring you water unless you request it. However, it all adds to the neighborhood pub frequented by regulars vibe. And if you're looking to linger at your table long after the check arrives-- this is a great place to do it! ”
“ My fave place for a catch up with a friend, or for a solo "journaling bite"-- as was the case today. The women who work there are great- (although sometimes working too hard due to understaffing). Today I had the blackened salmon sandwich with a yummy green side salad. (One thing I don't understand is the need to continue to serve dishes with rounds of uncooked onions, and green chili peppers-- does anyone actually eat these?) I love that they have a little blackboard in the women's room-- see photo below for the enjoyable message seen. Also thank you, Ale House, for still having a "women's room" rather than the trendy "all genders" bathroom. Let's face it, women's rooms are a bit cleaner. ”
“ This place is has amazing food, great drink selection and always welcoming staff. It does have an old country feel. Sit down tables and bar seating I was pleasantly surprised in the quality of food for the price. They have different specials each week including soup. Haven't had a special yet that we didn't love Our go to is the goat cheese salad (add blacken chicken), tuna melt, Ruben or gumbo. Don't forget to add your favorite drink! ”
