- Trivia: Gather your team on Tuesday nights, when trivia comes with a taco special. Wednesday belongs to discounted wings.
- Happy hour and lunch: Drop in on weekday afternoons for happy hour, or come earlier in the day on weekdays for lunch specials. Times and deals can change, so confirm them on the hall's own site.
- Sports: If a game is on, the hall says it is showing it, and staff will happily switch channels on request.
- Reservations: Book ahead, especially with a larger party. The hall also hosts private events.
- Families: Guests of all ages are welcome until midnight, so bring the whole crew.
- Parking: A paid lot sits directly behind the building, though rideshare is the easier choice on busy nights.
Pubs and Beer Bars on the Hill
Queen Anne Beerhall
Head to this big hall on W Thomas St when you want a lively, beer-focused night with friends. It suits sports fans, trivia teams and families looking for an early dinner alike. Its Lower Queen Anne location also makes it a handy stop near Seattle Center.
McMenamins Queen Anne
Two blocks from Seattle Center at 200 Roy St, this friendly brewpub is known as much for its art as for its beer. Look up to spot juggling mermen on the ceiling, then take in the fish and painted grandmas on the columns. Order a house pour such as Terminator Stout, Hammerhead or Ruby Ale, or try a cider, and pair it with Northwest pub food like house-made pizza and soup. Gluten-free buns are offered, though the kitchen itself is not gluten-free.
Groups are welcome, but seating is first come, first served on event nights. Cyclists can lock up at the bike parking outside, and free WiFi is available once you settle in.
Targy's Tavern
Duck into Targy's, Queen Anne's dive bar, when you want a simple drink rather than a scene. This no-frills spot suits regulars and anyone who would rather sit in a casual neighborhood tavern than a crowded hall.
Cozy Lounges and Cocktail Detours
Not everyone in your group will want a pint. Round out your night on the hill at one of these spots.
The Sitting Room
Settle into The Sitting Room, a dark and cozy lounge with a range of seating that works beautifully for a date or a slow conversation. It offers a calm counterpoint to the bigger, louder rooms down near Seattle Center.
Bar Miriam
Make your way to W McGraw Street for Bar Miriam, a cocktail bar that has earned national recognition and a ranking among the top bars in the country. Choose it when carefully made drinks are the main event.
Rich Rich
Slip through a secret doorway off the alley behind Queen Anne Avenue North to reach this Lower Queen Anne cocktail lounge. Hunting for the entrance is part of the fun, which makes it a playful last stop after dinner nearby.
Make a Night of It
Start at the bottom of the hill for beer and food, then head up toward McGraw Street for a quieter cocktail. Pair your evening with nearby Seattle landmarks like the Space Needle, or find more inspiration in our list of things to do in Seattle. On a clear afternoon, warm up with a stroll through one of the city's Seattle parks.
Check each business's own website for current hours, menus and event details before you go.
