Oh, the food... So exceptional. This is no gimmick menu, this is an ode to bacon in all its forms. Quality was amazing, every dish was worthy of savoring, drinks were creative and tasty. The owner was really friendly and even brainstormed on future menu items. Server was smart, sassy, and a joy. Absolute delight. read more

Barrel & Bacon - Burger with Mac and cheese patty! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

While a little off the beaten path, it's 100% worth it! You want a classic cocktail? something fancy? unique? expertly crafted by a bartender/owner who clearly has a passion for his craft? check, check, and check. I stumbled across this hidden gem one day after my dentist appointment had been double-booked (they share a parking lot), and now it's one of my top 3 favorite places in Seattle. As far as bartenders go, Gary (who is also the owner) is a savant when it comes to the art of mixology. Sometimes I just tell him what spirit I'm in the mood for, what flavors I like, and a minute later, I have a masterfully crafted cocktail in front of me I didn't even know I needed in my life. I'll bring my wife when we're in town, who likes the Vodka/soda, Margarita, and occasional Cosmo, and even she says those classics are the best she's had. Me? I like to indulge in the experience of tasting the rotating menu of seasonal and local flavors that are so expertly combined with top-shelf spirits to create a perfectly palate-pleasing fusion. But Barrel and Bacon doesn't end with drinks; we've eaten our way through their afternoon and brunch menu as well. When I think Gastropub, I think Smash burgers, lattice fries, maybe a pub style fish and chips. B&B? Nope! Their food is just as unique and delicious as their beverages. There's a combination of traditional, approachable dishes with a stated presence of Asian influence throughout their culinary offerings. It seems like everything on the food menu was carefully thought out to perfectly complement the liquid offerings. I love this place. Whenever I pick up friends or colleagues up from the airport, this is usually our first stop on the way back to the hotel or home. It's a perfect introduction to NW hospitality, while creating the perfect ambience for both leisure and relaxation. No pretentiousness, no attitude, no pressure; just good drinks, good food, and good people. read more

First, secure reservations. We went for Sunday Brunch and so glad we made reservations. We did book reservations a couple weeks in advance. Otherwise, people were being asked to come back in about 2-3 hours. Second, we tried the ube chicken and waffles, ube french toast, happy tummy, & silly gang wings (not pictured). Happy tummy was my husband's favorite, mainly because of the bacon jam and Brie. The ube French toast was a bit too sweet for me. The ube cream cheese frosting between the waffles was overwhelming. The chicken and waffles were my favorite. I liked the flavor and texture of the dish. We took an order of the silly gang wings to go and happy we did, especially with all the food we ordered. The drink was not as sweet as I thought, which was a nice surprise. There were definitely other items on the menu we still want to try, so we will definitely go back. read more

A wonderful spot! Great food and cocktails! Easy parking! Came here with 2 girlfriends and made reservations for noon (restaurant is on the small side so I would advise making reservations). Barrel and Bacon has been on my list for a while, so glad we finally made it (I live about an hour away from downtown Seattle) so it was a trek, but totally worth it. There is a unique list of cocktails, I went for the Up Up Ube, it was the perfect brunch drink, delicious mix of coffee, alcohol and ube. We ordered 3 dishes to split, Breakfast Mac, Ube Waffle and Chicken, TNB's Iconic French Toast. All the dishes were full of flavor, but my favorite would have to be the Breakfast Mac. I saw many reviews of it and knew we had to try, it did not disappoint, just order it. The combo of breakfast meats with crunchy hash browns and egg on top was the just divine and the truffle oil made the dish shine. A unique fusion of Filipino and American brunch, check it out! read more

Thank goodness this place isn't just another bar on Elliot. Once you check out their menu, you will realize they have done their job making sure they provide a worthy experience for your time and effort. Also they have a medium sized shared dedicated parking lot that makes things easy. I can't decide what I like more, their bar food or their drinks. This is by far some of the best bar food I've had. Their attention to detail and choice of ingredients made me feel like I hit the jackpot. Ended up trying 4 or 5 different dishes. Be ware, the space is limited inside, but i don't see it being too crowded on an average day. Maybe if you had a large enough group with you, but we came fairly deep and all was well. Theres also outdoor space and areas next door to hang out if yoyou need to step away for a sec. read more

Starting off by saying the cocktails are really great! The staff was all super friendly and I had a great time. However, I'm afraid this restaurant is falling into the trap of the restaurants that used to be in the same building. This restaurant is an island in industrial territory without other places next door to it. Full disclosure - loved the champagne diner and Korean/mexican fusion restaurant before that. However, the thing that makes me nervous about this particular iteration of this space is as someone with dietary restrictions, the food menu felt hostile. So in an area where there's not an easy way to do foot traffic, meaning you often have to drive, and go out of your way to get to the restaurant, there isn't much to eat if you can't do bread, fried food, etc. I ended up ordering a bun-less burger on greens but it left me hungry without any other options. $18 cocktails are everywhere in this city. There has to be something *special* and worth going out of the way to an island that is off the beaten path of foot traffic and other businesses, and I'm not sure I saw anything that would bring me back. I'm fine with a restaurant that can't accommodate my dietary restrictions if there is any other restaurant around them that can, but it doesn't make sense to isolate potential customers who don't have other options in the area. read more

I wondered what would take the former site of Champagne Diner in Interbay. I got wind of Barrel & Bacon by way of IG and the praise of the Filipino fusion. I decided to wrap up my birthday with a late evening visit (6/9/24). Wow - what an interior contrast from the previous business! I decided to not have takeout, but enjoy the loud music playing and fully experience this interior vibe and dine onsite. Yeah, I was literally the only customer but then it was like 9pm on a Sunday night. I later found out that it was also Day 2 of their new spot. This birthday gal splurged with the following seated at a two top. The Homie is my college age son and had remained home. Blueberry Whiskey Sour ($16) with bourbon, lemon juice, and housemade blueberry syrup expertly prepped by the female bartender. Could be a bit stronger, but sufficed for a Sunday night. Silly Gang Wings ($16.59) were three each deep fried flats and drummettes marinated in a sinigang/tamarind, garlic, cilantro, and Serrano pepper mix and drizzled with a finger licking sweet glaze. I ate three onsite, the other three pieces were devoured by The Homie. Crab Mac ($24.95) omg rich with a capital R! Pasta with crab meat, sliced asparagus, roasted peppers, Serrano peppers in a creamy cheesy sauce generously topped with crispy prosciutto bits. I thought I'd eat just a tiny bit. Nope, lived a little and ate half. Yes, again The Homie ate the other half. My wait person was very pleasant and attentive during my onsite festive meal. I had just finished packing my leftovers and was awaiting my check when I was given a huge surprise of another menu item, TNB's Iconic Ube French Toast ($19.59). Huge and indulgent with a birthday candle with feted with celebratory song. Evidently this was featured on Netflix (according to the menu) and is stacked high with French toast ube bread, ube cream cheese filling, macapuno/young coconut, ube jam, and condensed milk drizzle. I could only sample a minicule bit because I had already overindulged. Even this was quite an eye opener for The Homie. The microwaved week old remaining dregs were still tasty. From my brief conversation with one of the owners and his mother-in-law, this was his and his wife's long time dream to open such a spot. This couple from Lynnwood, felt this Interbay location in Seattle was perfect to see their vision become reality. His in-laws are the owners of Truffles N Bacon Cafe in Las Vegas for the past decade. Pro tips: want a change of scenery from Capitol Hill, Pioneer Square, Belltown, Fremont, or Ballard night spots? Check out Barrel & Bacon in Interbay. Indulgent bevs and eats, perfect for any occasion. Welcoming, polished service. Free parking in their shared private lot. Glad I spontaneously stopped by and grateful for wrapping up my birthday weekend at Barrel & Bacon. Wishing the owners and staff much success with this endeavor! Cheers! read more

Amazing food! Amazing server! I got the crab cake BLT. So flavorful. The bread was to die for. I did have to send back the sinful tots. They were soggy and oily with clumps of cheese. Definitely will be back to try more food. Cocktails were 20/10. So unique and tasty. The reason I gave 4 stars because my partner and I were really put off by the person who welcomed us. She asked if our whole party was there and my two friends were 5 minutes away. She wouldn't seat us despite plenty of room at the bar. It would have been nice and an upsell to ask if we wanted to have a drink and wait at the bar. Her demeanor was not welcoming and it wasn't a good first impression. read more

We've heard a lot of good reviews so had to give it a try. It's located off Elliott Way and tucked away with ample parking spaces. The menu choices we had were very good and included their signature Barrel & Bacon Burger that came with a nicely prepared angus beef patty, thick applewood smoked bacon, onion jam, white cheddar, arugula, tomato, and garlic aioli on pretzel bun that held it all together very well. We also had the ube waffle and katsu style boneless deep fried chicken that was juicy and had an apple slaw with a side of hot honey syrup. The highlight of our dinner was a the steak sandwich a New York Strip steak with roasted garlic and thyme spread, arugula, tomato, and bleu cheese on crunchy ciabatta roll. Each order came with a side salad and you can upgrade to fries or tots. We also had the Sinful Tots tossed in truffle oil, shredded cheese, bacon jam, pepperoncini and chipotle ranch drizzle. Our server was great and offered his takes on the menu items. The ambiance of the restaurant is semi dark but welcoming and they have a nice outdoor patio. Next time I'd like to try their brunch with a wide range of yummy looking items! read more

I was visiting Seattle and wanted to have dinner with the girls and found this new spot in Queen Anne. This place has a large parking lot so it was nice to have a secure parking lot while we dined. The service was great we got sat immediately and was served on immediately. We each got a different sandwich/burger and shared the uber french toast. The french toast was actually amazing. The cream is like a salt cream ube which i was surprised by, then it was glazed over with some condensed milk. Delicious. The burgers were all good but i think we ordered with our stomachs and not our brains. I would definitely be back to bring others here! read more

Loved stopping by this place when I was in Seattle! You can tell they really value quality, high-touch drinking experiences given the quality of ingredients. I tried their rosemary gimlet, and it was to die for! So smooth, not too sweet, and the touch of the fresh sprig of rosemary tied it all together. The owners are so friendly as well. Definitely a great place to come for great drinks! read more

EVERY SINGLE THING WAS FANTASTIC! We ate here hoping it would be better than the last place and WOW were our expectations met and exceeded! The ube waffles were HEAVENLY! The happy hour Mac n cheese was SOOO rich and creamy, a definite must try!! The rosemary gimlet was superb! They did such a great job engaging sight, taste and scent with their cocktails. All of them were so visually pleasing and were so fragrant as well as tasty. And lastly the service--wow wow wow. I believe it's a couple who owns it. We didn't meet the wife yet which I hope we have the pleasure of eventually as I believe she has had a lot of contribution to the menu. But we met her husband as he was running the front Of house and bartending the night we were there and he was amazing. So personable, so on top of it. Over all we just had such a great time, I really cannot wait to come back and try more from the menu. Great job yall! I hope you are here for years to come! What an excellent addition to interbay. Also there's parking so huge plus. read more

How I heard of this place: I was here for a Yelp Elite event just a few days ago and loved it. When our friends asked where we want to go for a family dinner, it was easy to come up with a recommendation. Type of cuisine: "American comfort food with a twist. Craft cocktails. Wine. Draft beer." Upscale pub fare with a Filipino flair, that takes every menu item above and beyond in the best way possible. Ambiance: Sleek, clean and neat. The space feels like a gentleman's bar, where fancy elite meets Seattle hipster. The vibe is upscale without being pretentious, and the craft comes out in every way - from Gary's (owner) knowledge and expertise, to the presentation of foods coming out of the kitchen. Everything is expertly plated and presented. What I ordered: We started with two of the non-alcoholic beverages we made in our Yelp Event: Rosemary Spritzer ($8) and New York Sour ($8), as well as an order of the Sinful Tots ($13.55): the relatively small portion of Tater tots tossed in truffle oil, shredded cheese, bacon jam with pepperoncini and chipotle ranch drizzle was just as good as it was in my Yelp event sample. For our main entrees, we had one Happy Hour menu item: Buffalo Mac & Cheese ($8.50), TRUFFLES N BACON SIGNATURE BURGER ($19.07): Angus beef patty, mac n cheese patty, TNB Signature Bacon Jam, sriracha aioli on brioche; THE RAWLIN'S ($19.49): Katsu-style buttermilk fried chicken with jalapeño bacon, bacon jam, smashed avocado and pepperjack cheese on ciabatta; and HAPPY TUMMY ($17.84): Bacon, brie, smashed avocado, mixed greens, bacon jam, tomato, and aioli on Schwartz Bros. croissant loaf. Our friends ordered the ELOTE RIBLETS ($14.49): Cilantro pesto, chipotle ranch, cotija cheese & pickled onions over corn Riblets, RANCH CHICKEN BLT SALAD ($17.47): Mixed greens with katsu-style buttermilk fried chicken, bacon, tomato, onions, white cheddar, croutons and tortilla strips tossed in ranch dressing, UBE WAFFLE & CHICKEN ($18.59): Crispy ube flavored waffle, katsu fried chicken, apple slaw & drizzled with hot honey syrup, and topped off the meal with TNB'S ICONIC UBE FRENCH TOAST ($19.59): Featured on Netflix - Fresh, Fried & Crispy Ube bread french toast, ube cream cheese filling, topped with coconut strings, ube jam & condensed milk drizzle. What I loved: Each menu item is decadent, wonderfully flavorful and packs a punch. I truly cannot choose a favorite among them. My husband and I shared the burger and the rawlins and I kept going back and forth between the two, unable to decide which "best bite" to save for the last. The elote riblets were a truly surprising and immediate favorite. And the ube French toast is the perfect blend of savory and sweet, without being overly so. Why I loved it: Friendly and knowledgeable staff, people who really take care and have great pride in their products and want each person to leave with a wonderful, individualized experience. We will be back! (Can't wait for brunch, coming in October 2024!?!) Cost: average to high read more

So excited to have a go to spot for good eats and cocktails near my office, and Filipino inspired as well! Ambience is minimalist and modern which was so cozy. If you at in need of some amazing cocktails look no further - we had the Ube cocktail (a dessert in itself), the Rosemary Gimlet (so refreshing), and Hello Darkness (the showstopper- this should be your go to summer cocktail)! We weren't super hungry so we shared the ube waffles and fried chicken (YUM), and the elote riblets (YUM2). Next time you can bet we are going to have the signature Ube French Toast! As it's still new, it wasn't so busy (it was also a Monday afternoon)...but I don't except it to stay this way for long! Mac, our server, was so fun and attentive, and we were lucky to get some time to speak with one of the owners, Gary, and the OG chefs/owners from TnB Vegas (Jackie and Magnolia) were in town and were so kind and personable to spend time chatting with us! They even gave us a sample of a new dessert they were testing out. Which def needs to go on the menu! (YUM3) ps: outdoor patio? dog friendly? You can bet I'll be bringing my pup by soon! read more

finding this spot was a bit difficult, it is behind a large building and not visible from the road. not sure if there was a sign, but if so, we missed it. we had brunch on a Sunday. service was friendly, the food was flavorful, but most of our group was pretty underwhelmed by the portion sizes with respect to the pricing. personally i wouldn't go here again, but they had a decent crowd, and i can see why people would like it. reservations are helpful, we were seated right on time. read more

Food was okay. Pretty... but really small portions. Same with drinks.. cute but tiny and tasted like there was no alcohol in them. Worst of all though was the price. Quality did NOT meet the price. Service was good..but all the servers were in completely different attire. I think that's great that they can wear whatever they want, but I strongly recommend getting everyone to wear a branded t-shirt or even similar colors. It was way too lowkey for an establishment of any kind. No upbeat brunch vibes here. Kinda felt like a sports bar for a lonely bachelor. It was dark, no decorations and they were playing 80's soft rock. Definitely not the place for Sunday Brunch with your girls. All in all, I think I was just disappointed because social media hyped this place up so much and it just missed the mark for me. I say all that to say, it was not horrible by any means! I just think there are better brunch options in the area. read more

THIS IS NOW MY FAVORITE RESTAURANT IN Seattle. Atmosphere- classy and clean. Staff- they went out of their way to accommodate us as we were traveling with a dog. They set up an the outside area with a heater and umbrellas to keep us warm. (It's winter in Seattle.) Everything we ate was exceptional. We ordered drinks. I had Hello Darkness and my daughter ordered Bacon Fat Bourbon. Both were delicious. We ordered the Steak Sandwich, a burger with Mac & Cheese ?bun? in the middle and an order of Chicken Katsu Mac & Cheese. They were all FANTASTIC! read more

so much to love about this place; for starters, the cocktail program here just does not miss. in a world full of espresso martinis, the one we had here was the absolute best, and the bartenders here bless their old fashioned's with luxardo cherries, which -- if you don't know what those are, stop whatever you're doing and come order one immediately because it will change you for the better additionally, any sandwich you can order here on their croissant loaf will also be hands down one of the best you've had recently, so if you're anything like us, you'll be looking for it at your grocery store the very next day, and probably won't find it because we have no idea where this stuff comes from (?!). the elote riblets are also a must order for us, but i do wish they gave you more of them because they are so darn good (but also look like they could be a lot of work, so we won't be trying to make these ourselves any time soon) finally, everyone seems to be talking up their ube french toast which i'm sure is as great as advertised, but we opted for their grilled (yes grilled) pound cake, which was so light and fluffy with just a hint of crispiness that we couldn't help but order a second one, since the first one disappeared so quickly in front of our eyes dog friendly patio out back; great service, and was not nearly as busy (yet) as they inevitably will get + deserve. thank you for the great drinks and food! looking forward to coming back the next time we're in town :) read more

This place is an absolute gem! The vibe is super chill, the food is AMAZING and the owners and staff are delightful.

I want to say amazing things about this place. The service was excellent and the vibes were good. Unless you're a big fan of truffle oil on fries, tater tots and even in the Mac and cheese that they deep fry and put on burgers, you may want to skip it. I thought by now chefs knew that this condiment is a no no for anyone serious about making great food. The truffle oil on my plate was like an oil slick at the bottom. I had to pour it into my husband's plate, because he's a trooper and know this stuff makes me hurl. They are the sweetest people though. Remove that nasty stuff and you will get our repeat business. read more
