The Noble Fir

My fiancé and I stopped at this bar on our visit to Seattle/Washington. We had a lovely time trying wine and Washington ciders, browsing the hiking books, and speaking to the owners. They were very kind and knowledgeable about hiking and plants - two of my favorite things! I don’t think I’ve ever left a review before on google, but I feel like I needed to because this was truly a lovely bar. (And I don’t even like bars very much!)

I had a HORRIBLE experience without even needing to eat here. I parked in a legal and designated paid parking spot. When I got out of my car - an employee at Noble Fir approached me and very rudely scolded me for parking too close to(and thereby not respecting???) their POTTED PLANTS. I apologized and quickly need to run into an appointment. When I came back to my car (which again had been parked on a legal parking spot that I paid for) they had left a nasty note on my car letting me know they reported me to parking enforcement and to expect a ticket. It’s amazing to me that with all that’s going on the world - this restaurant would go out of their way to be so rude. He’d already scolded me and I had apologized - but to try to ensure I’d have to pay a $100 parking ticket for being too close to their plants - seems excessive.

Awesome service, food and drinks!

A fav local spot, especially when the sun is out. 21+ means no kiddos running around, so a great respite for these parents.

The owner is a drunk! She is mean and rude. No wonder they need to sell.

Good drinks and fun laid back place. Go cubs!

Rick runs the stick, Ellen runs the floor. This bar is the passion project of a cool couple who’s actually stuck around. Good drinks, calm soothing ambiance, half an explorers club type bar and half a chilled out sports bar - this place is a unicorn, a real institution. Serious regular potential. Don’t miss it, you won’t find a place like this every day.

Such friendly staff! Perfect spot before or after the Ballard Farmers Market! Really good seasonal drinks! Tables outside and inside perfect for relaxing and people watching!
