Linda's is great! I am addicted to their fried cheese curds, which I believe to be my favorite that I've tried in Seattle. I admit I am new to cheese curds as of this year, but I've had them at two other spots not too far away and these beat them out in my book. They apparently use young cheddar in their fried cheese curds though, which according to my friend is not standard, and as a Wisconsinite, is actually bad hahaha, but my naive tastebuds disagree. I've also been here for an actual meal and not to indulge my cheese curd addiction, and the food was surprisingly good for what I expected to be run of the mill bar food. Our server was super helpful and put in an order for a steak salad for me, which was apparently something slightly off menu, and it was delicious. The back patio eating area is surprisingly very cute and vibey and well decorated, again, something I was not expecting from the way the front and immediate inside of the establishment look (very, very divey!). Highly recommend this place for a lively night out, or for a quick to-go order of their fried cheese curds for the late night munchies. Keep in mind that the kitchen closes at midnight though, and probably add a 10 minute buffer of 11:50 for you to safely get a food order in. read more

I love seeing people bring their dogs in! The Chilaquiles are tasty. The waffles are yummy with a strong vanilla flavor. read more

Great atmosphere for an old grunge vibe. Last known place where Kurt Cobain was seen. Drinks were tasty, food was good, service was great. read more

This was my favorite bar of the night and will be one of my go to spot when coming to Seattle. The interior is nice and cozy. The vinyl records give it that cool vibe. We sat at the bar top and ordered some drinks and snacks. The cauliflower wings were well made and had some great flavors to it. It went well with the drinks. The staff working here were all super friendly and helpful, even when it was a full house. read more

The food was pretty good. Proper greasy bar food but it comes out hot and made to order. The sauce options were also great - I'd like a jar of the jalapeño jam please. The service was good and the ambiance was fun - very much embracing the tavern and grunge. Great music selections and some fun arcade games. It's both bar and restaurant and the drinks are pretty cool. Would recommend and would come back for one of their events. read more

Linda's Tavern located in the Capitol Hill area is the place to go for brunch on the weekends, they have mimosa pitchers and a pretty good menu. My friends that are local here say they come here on Sundays. They have both indoor, outdoor, and bar seating. There's a bar inside and outside. We came here Friday afternoon for a round of drinks and also ordered some nachos which were really good. We drunkenly took photos in the Photobooth and we couldn't see the screen to see if we fit or not. We came back Sunday afternoon in between brunch and dinner but we were still able to order a pitcher of mimosa and my friends all ordered their food. The happy meal looked good and the entire menu looked pretty good. You can also bring your dogs here. There's a smoking area in the back. Service was great and fun bar to be at! read more

Linda's Tavern - Beer - Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I LOVE this vibe!!! The service is great and the patio is perfect all year around. The tequila options are bleak but great beer bar with good music and theme nights, keep it up! read more

This place has really turned around with the new mgmt. It is getting back to what it use to be like 20 years ago. Jonah and Mike have really revamped the place. I would recommend going to support and see what's new with this classic establishment. read more

This is a quintessential dive bar. My wife and I stopped in here for a drink after an event last Tuesday. We had a good time just hanging out. I think this is the perfect place if you want a dive on Capitol Hill. Service had a light touch, but we weren't really looking for any either. I would definitely comeback to try the food. read more

We visited Seattle and came here for breakfast. It did not disappoint. There wasn't a lot of people since it was pretty early. The staff and our waiter were really friendly and helpful. It's a cool looking bar inside, nothing fancy but the food was great and so was the staff. Took a pic at the booth where apparently Kurt Cobain sat on the days he was last seen. Cool spot! read more

I love Linda's, I'm honestly surprised I haven't reviewed this place. Many fun nights of bar hopping and a few times I've blacked out and had no idea I came here haha. My last visit was a bit more wholesome, just wanted catch up with my friend over a couple drinks and some food. She snagged us seats out back and luckily it was a beautiful day. There was a few doggos out back with their owners, I love seeing dogs at bars, great little distraction. Anyways drinks were great, we both ordered a classic burger with mozzarella stick to share. Service was even better, loveeed our server. They were so friendly and personable! I'll be back, I always come back to this place haha. Oh parking is a shit show sometimes but I manage to get a spot out front so that was pretty neat. I definitely recommend Linda's a lot when people are in search of a casual bar. read more

Been here many times. Linda is a staple in the community. Always a great place for a chill time. When the weather is good, the patio is a great space. And they are also dog friendly! Happy hour from 4-6. This time we enjoyed a beer and Kentucky mule plus Nachos with carne asada. The drinks are consistently good and the food as well. Have done brunch here as well with a nice size serving of food! Most of the time the service is great! They are attentive when it's slow. If it's really busy... well, I give them a bit of grace. If you are looking for a low key, hang with friends, have a conversation and enjoy food & drinks -- give Linda a visit. read more

Its a neighborhood favorite whats not to love! Great bar staff and a clean comfortable dive. You should go here.

Gotta love Lindas! Never a boring moment, never a bad time! Def check this place out for brunch during pride! also ask for Kenna as a server! She was PERFECT read more

I adore Linda Tavern, the Monday Chess Nights. It's a great place to meet up with a group. The food is pretty good and filling. The Drinks varies but the Bartender are nice enough and they have good recommendations. I live around the area so I go pretty often for Meet Up events. read more

Love Linda's!! I come here atleast once a week. I've experienced it slow and busy. No matter what the staff is always friendly and try to accommodate/provide service as quickly as possible no matter the situation. They have a great happy hour and nice patio seating for good weather days read more

"Margaritas fuck you up fast and leaving you feeling good". Bartenders are amazing and so welcoming, burritos the size of your index finger, they allow hella dogs. Also wish the women's bathrooms were bigger but you pick and choose your battles. #ally read more

0/10. Honestly I was excited to eat here. All the reviews and everything made it look so good but wow was I disappointed. We were there for an hour and multiple tables who arrived after us got their food before us. We had to leave because we waited so long and never got our food. I understand they may have been busy but wow an hour and nothing? Very disappointed. The drink was okay. Wish I could have tried their food but it probably wasn't gonna be worth an hour long wait. It was dark and loud lol which isn't bad but also everyone was literally yelling just to hear each other. If you're wanting a drink, great place to go. If you want to try their food, you're better off somewhere else. read more

I LOVE lindas! This was one of the first places I went to when I moved to Seattle. The vibes are there the staff is great. Their food chefs kiss. Brunch is amazing. Probably the cheapest pitcher of mimosas you can get in Seattle. Highly recommend coming here. Also Kenna! The sweetest server you'll ever meet. read more

Excellent Irish coffee and good selections of ciders. Great wait staff Bonnie. Good music and lots of happy people eating brunch stuff that looked reasonably priced and sized. Next time we will get food and play some arcade games. Cool that they had Studio Ghibli film on. Wish this sweet bar was in my neighborhood. read more

Should be worried when the bartenders don't put in alcohol into your drink and charge you! This place scams, go across the street and get a margarita instead read more

A must for Nirvana fans. Allegedly the last place Kurt Cobain was seen alive. The vibes are upbeat, chill, and grunge-y. My go-to dive bar for friend hang outs, brunch, first dates, and grabbing a quick drink. I always order their Bloody Mary. They stick celery, carrots, olives, pepperoncinis, and green beans in a mildly spicy tomato mix. Can't go wrong with their Cowboy Burger and Linda's Burger for dinner. Brunch food is good, nothing out of the ordinary. I have only been once though. Plenty of seating for big groups. Smoking is allowed in the back outside. read more

Great dive bar. Friendly staff cool atmosphere some greasy snacks and cheap beers . Stopped by twice on my 3 day trip.

If you live, work or celebrate in Capital Hill you know Linda's. Linda's brunch game might still surprise you. Linda's is at its minimum- quintessential classic seattle with a hip Capital Hill dive vibe. The bathroom cleanliness keeps Linda's from being classified as a dive in my book. read more

Went to Linda's Tavern on a Wednesday night around 7 to grab a beer and a burger. The beer was cold and the burger & fries came out quick and was hot. Great spot to grab a drink and a bite to eat. The service was attentive and friendly, in less than 15 minutes we had our food and a pitcher of beer. Had a dive bar like ambiance but was cozy and nice to be in. Would recommend stopping by if you're in the area! read more

I decided to stop in at Linda's Tavern for a pint or 2. It was mostly empty and I recalled Anthony Bourdain saying something about having a pint at a mostly empty bar at 4 pm. So I did. What a cozy dive bar. The bartender was really attentive and super nice. We even shared a laugh or two. They also have an outside patio which looked pretty cool to hang out at during the warmer September afternoons. I'll definitely be back the next time I visit my home away from home. read more

Linda's Tavern - Pint of Guinness. - Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Came here while i was exploring downtown with my Labrador pupper. These folks are cool with dogs in their outdoor patio. Though the weather was a bit cold, there are nice heaters back there, so you should be okay. Ordered the Jimmy's pesto, with English muffin. The omlette was excellent, fresh pesto, sun dried tomatoes, and bacon bits in there. Pup had his own little lunch snack. Obviously not from my plate, but I had packed his own meal separately. Decent service, you receive your food pretty quick too. Didn't expect a bar to have such good food. Will be back again with the doggo sometime again. read more

Oh Linda's. So many memories. So many brunches and drinks consumed here over the years. It really hasn't changed in the last decade or so and I am thankful for that consistency. Love they put umbrellas for the intense sun in the back patio area! What is there to say about the food? It's consistent, delicious, and filling. Just the perfect place to nurse that hangover with a little hair of the dog or have a complete booze free brunch with unlimited coffee. The only downside is the coffee cups they've used for years only hold like 3 ounces and it cannot be refilled quickly enough. Small downside as the service is always great here. Not pictured in this review but do go for their happy hour - their happy meal is the perfect adult version of what you had growing up. Yum. read more

Solid 3 star "dive" bar. Only had beer and French fries but those were good. The servers and staff were good. They allowed people to move around tables and chairs to accommodate different sized groups. The bathroom floor was a bit scary, but it's a dive bar so expectations are low. The music is entirely too loud. As I am writing this, my throat is raspy because I had to yell the entire time to people at my table. Overall, decent place. Probably wouldn't go out of my way to come back but if someone really wanted to go then I'm in. read more

It's a nice cozy bar in Capitol Hill. Not super pricey. I like the vibe here. Would recommend this place if you want to hang out at a casual bar. Nice staff as well. There is no designated parking, so you would have to look for some street parking. read more

I can't really say much, since I was the designated driver and didn't drink anything but water. However, I just wanted to pop on to say how friendly the staff is here and how good their covid precautions seem. Plenty of plastic barriers around and spaced out seating. Only had chips and salsa, but the salsa was great (slightly spicy with flavor but not overwhelming) and the chips are very thick and crunchy! Cool music and a good place to hang out for late night in the area. They have charging ports which is a huge plus when you've been on the town and you need enough charge to catch an ride-share! Would definitely return. read more

Showed up at Linda's tavern for brunch after a Rowing class across the street at Rival Fitness. After being exhausted and starving we were seated right away and outside. (All the guests that were there that day probably had a huge sigh of relief because we were gross.) It was so hard to decide since the menu has so many different options. I finally ordered the Rio Grande Scramble and asked for the biscuit instead of toast. (When homemade biscuit is offered I don't pass that up!) The biscuit was delicious. Crispy on the outside (crunchy if that's a better term) and soft and smooth on the inside. The flavor of the biscuit was good. The scramble was delicious as well, but to be honest I was disappointed with the amount of avocado that was on my scramble. It wasn't even close to what I had seen on others pictures of their Rio Grande Scramble. It only lasted through maybe three bites of my food. Service was good and the price was good as well. read more

Linda's Tavern - Rio Grande Scramble w/biscuit (menu has this item Coming with toast usually) - Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I kept hearing about how this was such a "dive" bar. But when I finally went, I found that it had as much character as a Ruby Tuesday's. Plain decor, boring menu, beer poured with too much foam. I think this bar is having an identity crisis. It's not gramable enough for Gen-Z, but not gritty enough for Gen-X/Millenials. Who is the intended clientele? Middle-managers on business trips with an interest in Kurt Cobain, I guess. read more

I will never come back here ever again. This is my second time at this place and the food portion was so small compared to the price. We are a big group and come here often, The last time I came here I tipped, this time I couldn't afford to tip (I'm an unemployed student), and my group already tipped enough. The server embarrassed me in front of everyone by asking if they did not do a good job and kept pressing me by asking if they didn't do a good job. I have to say I'm broke. The tip is optional, don't put pressure on people to tip you, some people are just broke and can't afford more. This is the first time something like this happened to me. I guess I will never go here again because I know if I don't tip I will be humiliated. My friend intended to not tip because everyone already tipped and she only had cash but after my incident, she had to tip lol. Will never go here again, and my friends won't read more

I love Linda's. No doubt it's a dive bar, but it has good ambiance if you are able to tolerate the loudness. It also has great drinks for the price in Seattle and good service that will even check on you at your table. read more

This place is super cute and grungy. Great music playing. Staff was friendly and very kind. They welcomed our dog and gave her a treat too. I got the chicken and waffles. It was pretty damn good and would totally order again. The bathroom made me laugh. I love the pix and graf added throughout the years. read more

Never disappointed when I choose Linda's. Great gm food and drinks, no drama, nothing fancy, real people! Do not sleep on the chilaquiles! I asked for mine with the guajillo sauce instead of how it comes on the menu, with salsa verde.. fire! will always order it like this from now on! We don't always get nice days in Seattle but when we do I highly recommend sitting outside on the back patio. They're dog friendly and the vibe is extra chill. read more
