Dog friendly? Check. Excellent cocktails? Yup. Good beer list? Indeed. Friendly staff? You betcha! They check your vaccine cards upon entry, you wear a mask when not seated, and I have no complaints. If you're not willing to take measures to protect yourself and others, you don't get to play nice in public. I look forward to supporting this place in the future, perhaps even becoming a regular. Heck, the bartender recognized my dog from my Instagram profile, which only solidified the positive vibes I was picking up. read more

I came here on a random Friday night. Finding parking was easy and the place was surprisingly not packed. I could actually hear my friends and we were able to have a conversation. I liked the selection of beers on tap and ordered a sour. read more

Well, I was in a quandary. Whenever I am in Greenwood I love going to one of my favorite breweries, The Flying Bike Cooperative Brewery but I walked past this place while window shopping and actually shopping and as the name states...it was just too cozy to bookmark and come back for later. So instead of getting two beers at the brewery I went there and just got one. With the full intent of coming back to Cozy Nut. When I went back I saw a very interesting and of course quirky diorama at the entrance of a camp scene made of moss and wood with figures with a big stuffed mountain sheep(I think) lording over the camping participants. Of course the goat had vines in his horns. All a very Pan scenario. It was beyond adorable! The tavern was not just a tease from the outside window. It actually was very warm, cozy and welcoming. I got a fine Pear Cider and just kicked back and relaxed and absorbed the atmosphere. It was delightful! I will definitely be making a return trip with Steven in the near future! The Cozy Nut is an adorable place! read more

I went here on rainy night it was just what I needed to imbibe and relax. Wonderful addition to Greenwood. Nice tap selection! Tiny dishes of nuts! Awesome service! Fun place to look at decor! Exclamation points are necessary for this place! read more

Wonderful Friday night. My wife and I enjoyed the food, me the beers she the wonderful wine. We talked, connected. Cozy Nut allowed this. Music soft, no tv in the background. Just people conversing, enjoying their companions. Perfect name for a cozy Friday night out with my love. Thanks gentlemen for the food and beer suggestions. Cozy Nut allows one to enjoy their quality food, beer, wine and opportunity to Be With My Love. Lovely evening. read more

A weird setting in the best way. This place is a little slice of the Shire, set in Greenwood. The ambiance says village English pub to me (having never been to England, so) but the details have a lot of local flavor, from the cute forest dioramas to the jackalope over the fridge. And the knob and tube wiring in rafters over the bar is very Greenwood to me. The house drinks are fantastic. I traipsed around the menu a bit but my partner stuck with the Blackberry Bootlegger - an amazing blackberry Old Fashioned. They pour drinks generously, but well. The Cozy Nut had a casked cocktail when I was there, a Yellow Martinez which is if I remember right a Martini derivative with Yellow Chartreuse, and was amazing. This place is cozy like a winter den, with a back bar, menu, and bartenders straight out of a speakeasy. Service is... slow is the wrong word, it's leisurely. Which just contributes to the overall setting. It's a setting you may not always want, but when you do, make a night of it. read more

I was sold when I heard this place had "odd" taxidermy. I think a better term is "endearing" taxidermy :) This place is amazing. Very cool, cozy & intimate. It's a warm space. Came about 10pm on a Saturday night & snagged the last booth. There was some rotation of seating (some Greenwood pub crawlers). The food selection looked fairly limited but the drink selection was AMAZING. I had something with Champagne & it was fabulous! Staff was nice, space was inviting, drinks were good (about $8). I will def return. read more

I love this place, the owners and the locals are great. They don't have any televisions so it's really easy to spark up a conversation or jump in on one in progress. I'd recommend the cozy to anyone looking to meet new people or roll with a small group. read more

The Cozy Nut Tavern - Coolest back bar in Seattle! - Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Five stars when I order and receive food. Because we didn't receive a food menu or any idea there was food until a regular ordered: 4 stars. Ambience: 5 stars. Music: 5 stars because I am old and have many of the tunes on my USB drive. Drinks: 5 stars because they don't stint. Bar stool instant companions for convivial conversation: 5 stars. read more

Great beer, drinks, snacks and vibe. Lives up to its name, very cozy and a great spot to have a few beers with some friends and hang out. The booths are especially great as they give your table a lot of privacy and a very warm vibe. The taxidermy is a great touch too and gives the bar a very distinct identity. read more

loved everything!! The plates are a bit small so are definitely more of a snack. Great cocktails though!

Place is amazingly decorated and they have a good drink selection... but the worst service ever. There where 2 staff members and only 2 other people in the bar when we arrived. We sat at a table and waited, about 10 mins passed when a staff member brought us a menu and told us we had to order at the bar. Only 4 people in the bar and we have to get up and find you to make an order, really unprofessional. We ordered at the bar and I got some snack food because that's really all they have there since there is no kitchen. It cost way to much for what I got. When we wanted our second drink the place was now full so we had to take turns to go find a staff member so we wouldn't lose our table. All in all it was way to hot (over the summer), bad service and way more money then I felt I should have paid. Wont be going back any time soon. read more

A nice place for a cozy cocktail and a little snack. They don't have a full kitchen, so no sandwiches, burgers or fries. The menu features several varieties of bread, cheese and sausage which you can order a la carte. Also little bowls of nuts, which fits with the squirrel theme! You'll see several of the taxidermied creatures throughout the bar, so if you're the kind of person who is weirded out by dead animals, this might not be the place for you. They have a great selection of beer on tap, and create some inventive versions of classic cocktails. The pace here is a little slower, so cozy up to the fake fireplace, or tuck into a booth for nice evening in Greenwood! read more

This is the bar I've been waiting for. Many cool bars have opened up in Greenwood, but none of them have been quite right for me to say "this is my bar away from home". Key Features: * Squirrels * Amazing interior * Great Cocktails read more

This is a gem of a local bar in the Greenwood area. Great music always plays from an old 70s Marantz or Kenwood tuner rigged with an iPod, the decor is cool, the bar selection is solid, and the bartenders are friendly, nice, and make a delicious cocktail. It's never crowded when I've gone, so there's always two spots at the bar for my wife and I. read more

The Cozy Nut Tavern - This guy is my friend. - Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

We were really excited for this bar to open up. When we first came in we weren't quite sure what to think. The bartender seemed annoyed that we were asking a lot of questions and wanted a drink that wasn't on the menu. That said he quickly turned friendly and we enjoyed the drinks. They fresh squeeze all of their juices and give you a cup of fresh made corn nuts. Side note: the bathroom is dual gender and nothing that nice. Could have been a lot cleaner. That said, we will be back to give it a second try. read more

The Cozy Nut Tavern - Trendy bar with good drinks. - Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Awesome addition to Greenwood! We finally made it in a couple of weeks ago and it did not disappoint. They made some great crafty style cocktails, but not pretentious about it at all... just good. The bartenders were super nice and attentive. They kept giving us these amazing little corn nuts to snack on. They were 10x better than the corn nuts that you get out of a vending machine. Super funky decor... lots of animals drinking and smoking. The music was pretty random and great. It really does have a cozy vibe to it. This is a contender for my favorite Greenwood spot along with Chucks and the Yard. read more

See all

Very disappointing. Came in for a beer with a family member and encountered the rudest bartender I've been around in years. Guy was beyond pissed just doing his job and we couldn't have been more polite, at one point asking what he suggested on the menu and having to endure his angry attitude in the aftermath. We left after it looked like he wanted to start a fight with us for having the nerve to ask his opinion on a menu choice. That really threw him for a loop. One star is generous and too bad because prior to this visit here we had much better experiences at this bar. Hire someone with a better attitude read more

Thanks to the staff for the great drinks and customer service. Best end to the birthday celebration! read more

The Cozy Nut Tavern - Birthday girl and cake - Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Excellent cocktails, casual yet intimate and local spot. Food selection is limited to charcuterie and the like and it's good - I got the smoked salmon. Well done cocktails in a chill environment, which is a mix I value. read more

Great neighborhood bar. Good beer and drink selection. The name is appropriate - it is very cozy (not small, just homey). Quirky decor (most of which was made by hand by the owners) and cool bartenders. Definitely check it out! read more

Would probably not come back, unless others took me there. Went for first time last night. Nice stuffed squirrel aquarium in front. Drinks were OK, but the bartender was snide toward guests. Just his "edgy sense of humor"? No, just weird. read more

Great bites! Fresh squeezed juices. Andrew and Sam are the friendly bartenders. The coleslaw and the duck roulette was so yummy, I returned just a couple days later...and I attempted to make my own coleslaw at home. read more

I love the decor and the lighting and the comfy, quiet vibe this little bar has and with my new found love for small plates and flavor combining, the menu makes for a wonderful addition to the Greenwood scene. Duck rillette, sausage, olives, hummus, pecans, pickles, grapes... all in cute little cup-bowls on the same platter... The best way to enjoy a nice cocktail or a good beer is with the constant presence of food that can be enjoyed as slowly (or quickly) as the drink itself. Prices are a touch higher than the rest of the strip but to be fair, the Cozy Nut is a hip spot surrounded by dive bars. I will certainly return... probably often. read more

I love going to the cozy nut. Not a huge selection of draft beers, but they always have something interesting on tap. Good bar snacks available. Friendly staff and clean. Dog friendly. read more

I think the nuts used to be spiced? Now very bland :(. Still a cozy place and good drinks.

I've been here a handful of times as a resident of the neighborhood. Nothing but solid experiences each time. Good beer selection, nice meat & cheese plate, and bartenders that are happy to make a classic cocktail for you. There aren't many places in Greenwood that aren't restaurant/bars with screaming children, boring corporate bars, or old-timer haunts that maybe haven't cleaned their taps in a few decades, so a cool hideout like the Cozy Nut is a nice escape. read more

This small, lodge-like bar in Greenwood is a very cozy nut indeed. I came here on a Sunday at happy hour with my boyfriend and there was plenty of seating (there was a Seahawks game on, so I imagine all the rowdy fans were at other bars in the area, thank god). We sat at the bar and wiled away the time drinking some tasty cocktails. 5 stars for the attentive bartender and the pleasant atmosphere. read more

This place is great! Very cozy, small and the all wood seating is especially cool. We only had beer, so I can't speak for the cocktails but we sat in a booth and played card games while getting smashed without any complaints. It does get crowded though and seating is limited, which sucks but if you catch it at the right time, you won't have problems. read more

My favorite bar in Seattle. It also helps that they're less than a block away from my apartment. Super cozy (pun intended), rustic, dim, & overall amazing. The bar look as though it was carved out of a tree and the establishment itself give off the vibe that it belongs on some back road in Upstate, NY. Bartenders are nice & laid back, great prices, always kick ass music playing and complimentary warm Corn Nuts. Small plates too!! read more

I love this place. Seriously love it. First of all it's cute as a button, a quirky mix of European lodge with a touch of art deco flourish and a sprinkling of strangely delightful dioramas. The bartenders are delightful, friendly and love their craft. Fresh squeezed grapefruit. Nice bar food. read more

Good drinks, tasty food, good decor, great music... welcomed addition to the neighborhood.

Best new bar around. The interior has hobbit-like features. The bartenders/owners are friendly and the drinks are on point. I love the atmosphere and the squirrels. Looking forward to spending more time here. read more

Very nice feeling, staff was welcoming to us first-timers. The regulars seem both merry and mellow. Decor upholds the hobbit implications of the name, and is all reused lumber. Very appropriate for Greenwood. read more

Great little bar. Good atmosphere. With amazing service. Good beer selection. The bartenders all make a great cocktail especially the old fashion. Essentially d No tv's which is nice. read more

I want to hang out here every night. The place has a fun atmosphere that reminds me of a ski lodge, yet with a woodland creature theme! My friend and I sat at the bar and played cards while we drank and chatted. Across the bar we saw a large group playing that game where you have the name of a celebrity on your head and you don't know what it is but you have to guess it.... point being that people settle in and have a good time without getting crazy (or at least on this given night they didn't). THe place was FULL the whole time we were there but it never felt cramped or claustrophobia-inducing, and even though we weren't buying drink-after-drink, we never felt pressured to get out and make room for other customers. Bartenders are friendly and seem to enjoy shooting the sh*t with anyone and everyone. Fair prices, vast drink selection, easy location. read more

I love this quirky place. It's funky and cozy, and they make a great Old Fashioned. The charcuterie plates are great, too!

While this has quickly become one of our favorite places in Greenwood due to the great drinks and awesome decor, it was the sign and the name that originally got our attention. I mean, how could you NOT want to go to into the Cozy Nut Tavern? I'm so happy to see how great this place has done, last time we went there was not an empty seat in the house! read more

Moving on with our Greenwood pub crawl -- which generally got more divey as we went on, though maybe it was just that we were getting drunker every time -- was the Cozy Nut, taking up part of the space that used to be a massive thrift store. The decor is delightful, and demands attention, and the prices are good; the service was very slow and fussy, but we were there on a crowded Friday night, so it's hard to judge it on that level. The cocktails were merely average, though affordable, and the food selection isn't great; it is, as advertised, very cozy, but it failed to fully bust my nut. I'm sorry, that was awful. What a terrible person I am! Good lord. read more

Was back in Seattle this weekend. The cozy nut is, in fact, cozy. Good cider. Liked the vintage taxidermy vignettes.
