We went to Pacific Inn and Pub on a weekday around midday, partly because it was once visited by Anthony Bourdain. The bartender was very kind, and we ordered at the bar before heading out to the patio. The outdoor seating was really nice and comfortable, especially with the heaters keeping everything warm. We ordered the fried shrimp, fried fish, tater tots, fries, and a salad. Overall, everything was delicious--the fried items were especially well done, crispy and full of flavor. The only thing we didn't really enjoy as much were the fries, but everything else made up for it. Overall, it was a really enjoyable meal in a great casual spot. read more

Pacific Inn is a great dive bar in Fremont. I've been here numerous times, and particularly love their outdoor patio, which is throughly heated and covered during winter, and open-air during the summer. Their beer selection is pretty standard for a Seattle bar, and you order at the bar which makes it pretty easy to get a drink. They bring the food out to your table. Food is decent, the fish and chips are very good and overall decent bang for your buck. read more

Some of the friendliest service I have encountered. They gave recommendations, checked in frequently appropriately, and provided extra tartar sauce at no charge. Food was amazing, and the atmosphere of the pub was calm and cozy. 5/5 - Fish and Chips (3 piece) - Best breaded fish and chips I've had! Fish was perfectly cooked and the batter was crispy. Fries were also crispy, carried a great fry, and were complemented well with the tartar sauce. The three piece portion is very filling and great to eat while catching up with your folks! read more

Pacific Inn is a quintessential Seattle experience. It has your classic dim-dive-bar lighting and random assortment of Seattle themed art. Like any good dive, you expect the bartenders to be mean to you, it's actually what you want, it means that you're in the right place. I'm actually surprised when they're genuinely nice here. You could sit at the bar and drink your sorrows away here during the winter, you would probably lose track of time while doing it. But the reason you're really here is for the fish and chips. It's some of the best that I've had in Seattle. And I'm still not sure why. If you peer into the kitchen, it's just one dude opening bags and pouring them into a fryer. But sometimes that's just what you NEED. Everything is perfectly crispy, the breading has great flavor, and they have all of the necessary accoutrements. Nothing fancy, but everything that is essential. This is a must-visit for anyone who is new to town, or to bring a friend that is visiting. You will get a good feel for the Seattle cultural experience while visiting Pacific Inn. read more

Pacific Inn Pub - Fish and Chips - Dive Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Pacific Inn Pub was on my local must try list after someone recommended it to me awhile back for the fish n chips. Once inside, I learned that this place was bought by the former Jake O'Shaunnesey's singing bartender. Kind of obscure trivia. My son and I found the last table as we went at dinnertime and it is a popular local watering hole so a bit busy. Their reputation is for very good fish n chips so we each ordered the 3 piece which included a good amount of fries and some coleslaw along with very good homemade (?) tartar sauce and a couple of drinks. The fish n chips order was good, but not great for $20 per order. Maybe the hype made my expectations too high? I thought the meal overall was filling and decent but not worth all the noise about how great they are. Our service was excellent with friendly staff who walked around a lot to clear off any dishes and glassware and get additional drink orders. I would return here but not specifically for the fish n chips. read more

We were looking for raving fish and chips close to our hotel by bus vs the train and since we were visiting the Troll and Gas Works park, Pacific Inn was the perfect middle! It's a dive bar with a food menu. Staff is friendly despite how busy she was and the food came out fresh and hot. We shared the 3 fish dish which was satisfying. The batter on the fish was light and crispy while the fish maintained it's flakiness. The fries weren't soggy either! Their coleslaw was a nice side, not too much mayo. Although we didn't try any other fish and chips, Pacific Inn scratched our itch and it was worth the stop! read more

The location is in a really cool part of town with a lively atmosphere. I came all the way from Kirkland to try the Fish and Chips. All the searches that I have made via YouTube videos and online as well as my coworker mentioned The Pacific Inn. I can tell you that the service was very friendly and pleasant and my order was delivered expeditiously. I really enjoyed the fish, cod I believe, it had a nice crispy exterior and the interior was very moist. I was actually pleasantly surprised and impressed. The dish comes with a side of creamy coleslaw and the tartar is so on point. I loved that tangy and just a hint of sweetness. There is parking available but be mindful that on busy sunny days and early evenings it may fill up. Another plus is there is outdoor seating if it pleases you. read more

Fish and chips is best I've had on the west coast! Fillets were huge and the fries were nearly perfectly salted. Waitress was super nice and gave me a beer recommendation to go with it and it was perfect! Music is a bit loud inside but who cares, and the place is a bit run down but I dig the vibe here! read more

Pacific Inn Pub - Fish and chips - Dive Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

A favorite of my friends, he wanted to go out spur the moment for a few rounds and fish & chips, so I went along. If you're looking for a dive, Pacific in will fit that bill. At Pacific Inn it's a fair size with a handful of booths, decent counter seating and an outdoor area that before accessing, check in at the counter for drinks and having your ID at the ready for the younger looking folks. Started off with a couple Gin & Tonics before ordering up some...you guessed it Fish & Chips...or at least my friend did. I decided I'd go with Cajun shrimp & um chips. Doesn't quite have the same ring, but they were crispy, seasoned and good, would recommend as an alternative to the Fish & Chips. Best thing about them is that it's pretty plentiful, I was decently full off it. It - like the Fish & Chips comes with cocktail & Tartar sauce, with other condiments available. I tried some of my friends it was alright. Very Crispy, and decent sized pieces, and price. None of this anything to write home about but it's a decent enough dive spot which I much prefer over the more populated and loud bars. Pacific Inn is decent enough, but the particular bartender I had a very short way about his attitude, and I wasn't feeling it. It was a Thursday night, no sports on whatsoever so it's not like it was busy. After our meal we moved on to get a little brew hop going which was good. I'd give another shot here, but my expectations for service are a bit low now. read more

Words can not express how RUDE the blonde bartender was, I was treated so poorly and asked her is there something I did wrong for u to treat me this way, she said I'm busy and I said excuse me she said I don't have time for this and rudely walk away and I was shocked how rude she was, I asked about the hats on the wall she rudely answered I have plenty and rudely walked away, I was in so discuss I felt like what the hell is her problem, apparently the owner doesn't care about REPEAT business with that miserable person working for them, Kudos for the 2 guys working they are the real deal. I definitely liked the food and vibe would go back again BUT if blondie is working ill pass on by WTF is wrong with her read more

A great dive bar and place to casually meet up with friends. While it looks small it has decent inside space at the bar, booths as well as a back room with pool and a whole covered/enclosed area outside. Casual place, classic drinks, good times. Servers were nice but pretty business. read more

A Seattle staple! This is a great dive bar with a couple small TVs, outdoor heated patio and the best fish and chips I've had in the city. Speaking of the best - their hot wings are top 5 in the city as well. Service is always kind and attentive - drinks are stiff without being too much. Definitely a gem! read more

Dark cozy dive bar on the inside, with an awesome outdoor patio when it's nice weather. The best fish and chips I've ever had. The fish itself is great, but the batter and fryjob is magic. Always take guests visiting here. Service is good! read more

Pacific Inn Pub - Dive Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Came for the famous "Best Fish & Chips in Seattle." The tartar sauce and cole slaw were excellent! The fish was very good, but I've definitely had better in the Seattle area. Part of that might be based on my personal preference (I prefer batter compared to breadcrumbs; and much prefer a thicker filet that allows a more flaky fish versus their thinner cut). Personal preference aside, it was well seasoned and cooked perfect. The big disappointment was the fries. They were greasy, soggy, and not seasoned at all. If I had not ordered an extra tartar, I wouldn't have had more than one fry they were that bad. Service was friendly and fast and the bar has a nice, cozy hole-in-the-wall locals spot vibe. read more

I drove here for 20 minutes on a scooter at 11pm because I was craving some fish and this was the only place that was open past 10pm . I was soo happy when I got there all because I craved the fish and I was not disappointed. Granite I taste like the fish made from fish stick or like a school lunch, BUT it was good. Fried pretty well. The fries were good and the margarita was STRONG. Especially for it to be 10. Service is fast, and the place is really small. If you like late night "hole in the wall" places this is the best place to go. 10/10 Next time I come to Seattle I gotta come back read more

A great dive bar with some of the best fish and chips around. Highly recommend upgrading your fries to their Caesar salad! Despite how popular they are, the staff is always patient and kind. The food is also relatively cheap compared to other fish and chips spots. read more

Service? Have you ever, SEEMINGLY, accidentally pissed off the waitress? Sitting at the bar, we could not have been ignored more after we ordered our food and drinks. I am sorry??? Been to the Pacific Inn Pub MANY times over the years, love their drinks!, but obviously not going back. An angry waiter/waitress is SCARY! Their fish does seem to be a little overcooked these days. read more

Hallelujah its all smiles after finding this Old Man dive bar serving exceptional fish n chips in the bowels of Fremont! So I stumbled into the throw back joint to grab a pint and discovered the tastiest fish n chips in all of Seattle. First off this place is all "OLD SCHOOL"so enjoy it, not many like it anymore. The menu has several pages of items , but it's all about the flakey cod fish served with fries. Beer battered strips exploding with flavor and yes a splash of fresher squeezed lemon and homemade tarter sauce add to the experience. Fries were perfectly deep fried and plenty m, plus as a bonus mound of coleslaw added just to give you some veggies. Lots of local brews including Georgetown Brewing options at the bar to wash it all down with to maximize your meal experience. Now my server was also the bar tender who was a salty pirate ( well maybe ) but who doesn't love pirates! The decor is defiantly dated but that's the charm. I'd recommend coming drinking & dining here, you won't regret it. read more

Came in excited to try out this local spot that had been on our list for so long! Was met with a very rude bartender. Such a fun and authentic dive bar vibe but extremely hesitant to go back after the major attitude. Extremely unfriendly, dismissive, and like we were a burden to her. read more

The food here was pretty good, I was a huge fan of the tartar sauce. I think the place makes good use of the space allowing the small interior to not feel claustrophobic. The staff is very friendly and the drinks are good. read more

I have been working right across from the pub for almost two years and I finally visited it yesterday with a friend. It was Memorial Day and we were trying to go somewhere else, but some places were closed so we walked around in a big circle and ended up close to work. (Which I feel like we do every time we are looking for food in the neighborhood...) The seating area was nice. It was a cloudy day but warm enough to sit outside, so we enjoyed sitting in the new outdoor patio section. My friend pointed out that the coffee beans in the coffee maker looked kinda old, but later we agreed that the coffee was quite good, to our surprise. On the other hand, I'd say the food was below average. I like fish tacos so I was somewhat feeling hopeful, but they were not good. read more

Definitely a locals pub and fairly unwelcome to us by blond tender. Stopped for a couple beers when in town. Kegger ran out 1/2 way on my beer. Jokingly I mentioned "looks like a spider time" which means beer on the house. Old blondie says we don't do that around here and where yu from... Hhhmmmm... read more

Pacific Inn Pub - Even the dog was unhappy - Dive Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

charged me $24 for a double whiskey. margarita was horrible. would not come back here

Cozy dive bar with booth and bar seating, and a covered outdoor area with tables. There is a pool table in the back. Service was very nice, the bartender and the person who brought our food were friendly. Drinks are decently priced for the area. We got the fish and chips - fish was flaky and crispy with tasty breading and the fries were quality. Kind of small portions for the price - $20 for three thin pieces of fish and fries. Cole slaw was average, pretty mild. Definitely hit the spot looking foot fish and chips and would go back again. Don't forget the malt vinegar!! read more

When they said, "World Famous Fish & Chips" they were not kidding! Love that through the whole meal, the breading of the fish did not get soggy and maintained the perfect crispiness all the way through! Service was quick and the atmosphere is very "neighborhoody". You do have to be over 21 to dine in, I'm unsure how that works for the outdoor seating. Outdoor seating was cozy and warm with all of the outdoor heaters!! Definitely will be recommending this place for others to try! read more

Pacific Inn Pub - World Famous Fish and Chips - Dive Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Dive bar. If you want attentive bartenders and great service and decor, go across the street to Fiasco and pay double. If you want a standard dive bar with excellent fish and chips and pitchers (I think 20 something for std drafts) then this is your spot. Great patio right on Stone Way, go up to the bar to order food and drinks. What makes the fish and chips excellent? Thin batter. Not the thick crispy kind you find in most places around town. Lemon, good tarter, Cole slaw and fries. Go, it's great. read more

Yeah Baby!!!!! Service is always excellent and place is often buzzing with conversation. They are busy for a reason and that reason is dive bar with atmosphere and decent food.

These are the nicest people! Service A+. We got beer and fish and chips. Fish was crispy and moist, it's what you want from fish and chips. Honest opinion of the fish is that it could have used a little more seasoning. We fixed it with salt and vinegar. Might be they had an under- seasoner that day, it happens. I love their outdoor space (so does everyone else bc they just camp out there forEVER! We ended up eating inside. The people who work there really make the experience for me. Big love to people who still care about customers these days. Xo read more

At the south end of Stone Way the Pacific Inn Pub offers excellent fish and chips. It has the ambiance of a local working person's favorite tavern but is also a popular place for people who read food reviews to go to eat. Service isn't Cheers' friendly because of the large number of guests who came due to the good reviews, but it is efficient. Prices are in the very reasonable range. I'll be back but not every time I'm in the mood for fish and chips. read more

We came in to order to go since my phone had died, took my baby inside and immediately one of the servers said "hey no people under 21 in here. It says in the front."

Incredible fish and chips in a sweet location. Was there on a nice day in early October so we got to sit outside. The food is phenomenal and freshly made. It's a little bit of a hybrid setup with the service as you have to order from the bar but they do bring it to you. The staff was very friendly, no reason not to try PIP! read more

Listen, for supposedly the best fish and chips in Seattle I'm here to tell you how disappointed my wife and I were to find out the fish and chips here are worse than mediocre! Anywhere you've ever eaten fish and chips is likely better than this place. And, $20 for a 3 piece fish! This pub is basically a tavern. The best fish and chips is Seattle? Don't fall for it! Also, the thin over cooked fries and teaspoon of coleslaw were horrible. Service was mediocre like the food. Although I guess it is just a glorified tavern after all. Tavern fish, tavern fries. If you believe this is the best in Seattle then you haven't had fish and chips anywhere else. read more
