    Larb tacos, Buffalo wings, and fried wontons
    Michelle C.

    Cute spot, decent food, and good happy hour! Stopped in for happy hour! For a spot right by Climate Pledge, it's pretty decently priced, and the food is good! We got wings, fried wontons, and the larb tacos. I'm a big fan of the tacos, perfect amount of spice. I regret not getting more. The Buffalo wings were lowkey so spicy, had to drown them in ranch to honk em down LOL. The tacos were definitely standout among the other items we got. Would definitely stop in again for a quick eat.

    Finally stopped by Travelling Goat and had a fun night here. They have a good variety of food and cocktails. From their food we ordered their garlic edamame, wings, cheesy tots, butter chicken tacos, fried ravioli, fried spring rolls and they all tasted great. Now the drinks were really good - loved their cold brew martini, whisky sour and the bartender did a good job of surprising us with different drinks based on what we requested and our palette. The place is relatively quaint and has semi-speakeasy vibes which I like. I always go here on weekdays to avoid weekend rush and always have a seat. Since this is queen anne, parking can be a pain. Overall I like this place and will stop by again.

    Happy Hour tacos (this is from 2022 - I don't think you can get one of each like this anymore).

    I get my hair done next door a few times a year and always come in after my appointment - I really look forward to it. Everyone in here must think my hair just looks amazing all the time, haha...insert many laughing emojis here. Always great service from bartender/owner, Steve, and I love the creative craft cocktails. He's an intuitive dude, and I feel like even when I can barely articulate what I'm in the mood for, he can bust out something on the fly that's perfect. Food-wise, everything is good, but the tacos are a must-try. My photo of tacos is outdated - this was a former happy hour special, I think from our very first visit, but they still have 3 different delicious taco flavors on the current menu. I think my fave is the spicy larb, but I'd take any of them any day of the week. I'd eat anything there, to be completely honest with you. If you're looking for a 32 oz porterhouse steak or whatever, you might be disappointed, but for super flavorful small plates, this is where it's at. I also appreciate that the vibe has always been super chill, even when there's an event in the neighborhood. Maybe it does get crazy, I don't know; I'm never out past like...8pm. Every time I've been in, I've ended up in a really fun and unexpected conversation when I wasn't even intending to be social. But I've never seen it descend into utter chaos and debauchery like some of the other neighborhood joints, and I am so glad for that. Grownups like to tie one on, too, sometimes! Get off our lawn while we drink our fancy cocktails and eat our larb tacos in peace, discussing Bob Dylan deep cuts or whatever.

    The featured Drink is the Passengers 75 and being a huge French 75 girly myself, I wanted to try it. We were headed to the Seattle Rep for the Passengers show and read online to come to the Traveling Goat for this drink that would take you back in time. The ambiance here is casual and there is mainly seating for pairs. They have a really nice signature cocktail menu and although we came for the Passengers 75, my husband and I went with the "Lets Go Camping" and the "Choose Your Adventure" instead. Both were a 5/5, really good and kind of strong. We thought about ordering another round but there was just one person working the bar and the restaurant was getting busier so he didn't come back around to us. After awkwardly sitting around a few minutes we didn't want to cut it too close for our show time so we decided to walk up to the bar to pay. The drinks were good though so I guess I'd try sitting right at the bar if your just coming in for a drink.

    Both the food and the drinks were really good! The food was especially fresh and flavorful compared to typical bar food. The drinks were excellent, without too much ice or being too strong. The vibe was pretty chill and it gave off local neighborhood hangout. The whole place was welcoming and calm. The service was excellent and the bartender was really helpful and friendly when he came over to check in with us.

    Holy guacamole the food here is phenomenal! Fresh ingredients, purrfectly prepared dishes and consistently delicious every time! I've tried a lot of their dishes and they never miss. Their service is equally phenomenal! Alice & Steve are super welcoming! Today I had their fish tacos and it was so heckin tasty that I was nodding the whole time in complete bliss! Thank you Tina! You're objectively the best! I don't like my food drenched in sauce because I want to actually taste the ingredients. Also they remember you which is a nice touch :) Ani approved!

    I am upping this place to 5 stars. Steve the owner is so friendly and awesome. The customer service here is unbeatable. I feel like I am coming over to a friend's home when I come here. Oh and the food is awesome. I am trying every dish they have and loving it. Tator tots, pot stickers, large tacos, burger, and wings..I am becoming a regular here and I love it. I also love that it is well behaved pet friendly. All the pups heee are so well behaved. It feels little bit like European restaurants where all the well behaved pets hang out like human. Another secret. Great customized dirty martini for 8 dollars on happy hour. Really?? Can't beat that. I love the chef and the owner teamwork here!!

We arrived around 5:00 PM and were greeted by a friendly and knowledgeable mixologist. While looking over the menu, he asked what I typically enjoy drinking. I told him I'm a big fan of an Old Fashioned, and he suggested an Eagle Rare Old Fashioned. It was, without question, one of the best Old Fashioneds I've ever had at any establishment. The balance of flavors was outstanding, and the attention to detail was obvious from the first sip. I was so impressed by both the drink and the overall experience that I asked him how he made it and what ingredients he used so I could try to recreate it at home. While I'm probably only 90% of the way there, I'll never quite match the perfection he achieved that evening. The atmosphere, service, and cocktails were all exceptional. If you're looking for a great speakeasy experience in Seattle, I highly recommend checking this place out.

We came here to eat because it was near our hotel. I was OBSESSED with the crab nachos. 2 months later, I moved out here all on my own. Now, 8 years later, I live nearby. Whenever someone is visiting, we come here. Whenever I run into a stranger visiting, i say they have to come here. My friends know if i'm celebrating anything, "are you getting crab nachos?!" It's become a part of my personality at this point. I have so much respect for the owners, the way they run their business and their honesty online. No one I've brought here has had a bad thing to say regardless of what they ordered. My go to is: Pull apart bread, crab nachos (with their hot sauce!! which, btw can i buy that by the bottle.. cause YUM) + whatever drink is calling my name (they rotate, but if you can get the pina colada you won't regret it). tldr; you'll regret NOT coming here.

I remembered that their drinks and bourbon selection/pricing used to be incredible. As with all things lately, prices have gone up on some of their rarer pours. The standard basic cocktails though were still reasonable and decently priced for the location. The atmosphere is great and service was pretty quick. The outdoor patio is still there which was a nice addition from 2019/2020 era. Some of their bourbons are still reasonably priced. Their food is pretty good. Would recommend the tacos, the burger, and carne asada. The nachos were not particularly for me, and also seemed to come out cold. Seemed to have cheese sauce instead of actual cheese. It was a cold day however. This place is mainly great for happy hour after work, but will come back and try dinner another time. Staff is great though. Really quaint and awesome spot to post up. good food, good service, good drinks, good selection, and still better pricing than most bars with what they have to offer. Will be going back again sooner. cheers

I would love to have a nice bar to patronize, but the bar food menu doesn't match bar food vibe. I am curious what dinner would be like here. Whoever owns this bar and whoever is curating this menu is absolutely a music head. No debate. And here's your gentle PSA: please pass that love of music AND hip-hop history to your waitstaff. Because what happened to me... was personal. There are three drinks on the menu that basically scream, "someone in here grew up on hip-hop and never emotionally left the 90s." We've got: ATLiens Aquemini 2 ____ a Butterfly (fill in the blank, but if you know, you KNOW Kendrick Lamar, 2015) Now listen this is not "aqua-mini." This is Outkast. Andre 3000. Big Boi. Southern rap royalty. It is pronounced Ah-kwim-in-eye The waitress looks me dead in my soul and says, "Oh, you mean the Aqua-mini." I was transported out of my body. Now here's the issue: I would've let it go...if a Kendrick Lamar song wasn't also on the menu. Because why are we confidently mispronouncing Outkast while casually referencing Pulitzer-level rap on the same drink list? At that point I realized I was surrounded by people under 34 who had never had to wait for TRL, decode a CD booklet, or defend Southern rap. No one in my group shared my emotional breakdown. Not one gasp. Prices & Drinks (important part): Let's talk about the $18 drink situation. I paid $18 for an Aquemini and received...vibes. Not buzz. At $18, I expect at least a whisper of alcohol. Instead, I got decorative hydration. My husband's Blueberry Smash? Better. More flavor. More personality. So now I'm sitting there thinking: I paid premium pricing for a drink I had to defend and pronounce correctly myself... and still left sober. Food: I was a little hungry and ordered fried shrimp (not on the online menu) The shrimp was fine. Just fine. The dipping sauce tried its best, and I respect that effort. Why is everything either wagyu, mussels, duck, or something you need a culinary degree to pronounce like gruyere but I can't just get a basic bar plate? Wagyu sliders, chicken bites would have been nice because I don't usually go out thinking, "Tonight feels like Wagyu and mussels at the bar." Service: I'm from Los Angeles, so I'm familiar with urban sketchy with a side of vibes. The activities near the parking spaces was very sketch. I was with a group of 8, including my husband so I felt protected by numbers. Inside, it was a Friday night but surprisingly empty. The music was loud enough to feel like a party, but quiet enough that you could still hear each other. We tried to rearrange seating to accommodate our group and the waitress said "I'm not walking around you, so keep this aisle clear." Which was fair, but also, there are gentler ways to say "I need this walkway." Or tell us the better way to set up seating in the empty bar. I didn't have a second drink frankly because I was never asked. Most places I go the waitress will come and ask if I want another drink. I don't live in Seattle, so this was my intro to night time bar life in the city. Sleepless in Seattle? I think in 2026 it's more like Sleepy in Seattle by looking at the emptiness.

The waitress was talented for her role - able to fluidly describe the forward and last tasting notes of each drink, without hesitation. She is an asset to the bar, and easily would sell each drink to customers. She would help you make a decision from among their dazzling (but not Cheesecake Factory length) menu of drinks, each footnoted with detailed ingredient notes. The space feels cosy and chatty and I like that some people dressed up to come here. The drinks were next level. This is a place to which I cannot wait to return, bringing visitors to impress.
