Pacific Inn is a quintessential Seattle experience. It has your classic dim-dive-bar lighting and random assortment of Seattle themed art. Like any good dive, you expect the bartenders to be mean to you, it's actually what you want, it means that you're in the right place. I'm actually surprised when they're genuinely nice here. You could sit at the bar and drink your sorrows away here during the winter, you would probably lose track of time while doing it. But the reason you're really here is for the fish and chips. It's some of the best that I've had in Seattle. And I'm still not sure why. If you peer into the kitchen, it's just one dude opening bags and pouring them into a fryer. But sometimes that's just what you NEED. Everything is perfectly crispy, the breading has great flavor, and they have all of the necessary accoutrements. Nothing fancy, but everything that is essential. This is a must-visit for anyone who is new to town, or to bring a friend that is visiting. You will get a good feel for the Seattle cultural experience while visiting Pacific Inn.
Pacific Inn Pub was on my local must try list after someone recommended it to me awhile back for the fish n chips. Once inside, I learned that this place was bought by the former Jake O'Shaunnesey's singing bartender. Kind of obscure trivia. My son and I found the last table as we went at dinnertime and it is a popular local watering hole so a bit busy. Their reputation is for very good fish n chips so we each ordered the 3 piece which included a good amount of fries and some coleslaw along with very good homemade (?) tartar sauce and a couple of drinks. The fish n chips order was good, but not great for $20 per order. Maybe the hype made my expectations too high? I thought the meal overall was filling and decent but not worth all the noise about how great they are. Our service was excellent with friendly staff who walked around a lot to clear off any dishes and glassware and get additional drink orders. I would return here but not specifically for the fish n chips.
We were looking for raving fish and chips close to our hotel by bus vs the train and since we were visiting the Troll and Gas Works park, Pacific Inn was the perfect middle! It's a dive bar with a food menu. Staff is friendly despite how busy she was and the food came out fresh and hot. We shared the 3 fish dish which was satisfying. The batter on the fish was light and crispy while the fish maintained it's flakiness. The fries weren't soggy either! Their coleslaw was a nice side, not too much mayo. Although we didn't try any other fish and chips, Pacific Inn scratched our itch and it was worth the stop!
The location is in a really cool part of town with a lively atmosphere. I came all the way from Kirkland to try the Fish and Chips. All the searches that I have made via YouTube videos and online as well as my coworker mentioned The Pacific Inn. I can tell you that the service was very friendly and pleasant and my order was delivered expeditiously. I really enjoyed the fish, cod I believe, it had a nice crispy exterior and the interior was very moist. I was actually pleasantly surprised and impressed. The dish comes with a side of creamy coleslaw and the tartar is so on point. I loved that tangy and just a hint of sweetness. There is parking available but be mindful that on busy sunny days and early evenings it may fill up. Another plus is there is outdoor seating if it pleases you.
A favorite of my friends, he wanted to go out spur the moment for a few rounds and fish & chips, so I went along. If you're looking for a dive, Pacific in will fit that bill. At Pacific Inn it's a fair size with a handful of booths, decent counter seating and an outdoor area that before accessing, check in at the counter for drinks and having your ID at the ready for the younger looking folks. Started off with a couple Gin & Tonics before ordering up some...you guessed it Fish & Chips...or at least my friend did. I decided I'd go with Cajun shrimp & um chips. Doesn't quite have the same ring, but they were crispy, seasoned and good, would recommend as an alternative to the Fish & Chips. Best thing about them is that it's pretty plentiful, I was decently full off it. It - like the Fish & Chips comes with cocktail & Tartar sauce, with other condiments available. I tried some of my friends it was alright. Very Crispy, and decent sized pieces, and price. None of this anything to write home about but it's a decent enough dive spot which I much prefer over the more populated and loud bars. Pacific Inn is decent enough, but the particular bartender I had a very short way about his attitude, and I wasn't feeling it. It was a Thursday night, no sports on whatsoever so it's not like it was busy. After our meal we moved on to get a little brew hop going which was good. I'd give another shot here, but my expectations for service are a bit low now.
Fish and chips is best I've had on the west coast! Fillets were huge and the fries were nearly perfectly salted. Waitress was super nice and gave me a beer recommendation to go with it and it was perfect! Music is a bit loud inside but who cares, and the place is a bit run down but I dig the vibe here!
Dark cozy dive bar on the inside, with an awesome outdoor patio when it's nice weather. The best fish and chips I've ever had. The fish itself is great, but the batter and fryjob is magic. Always take guests visiting here. Service is good!
I drove here for 20 minutes on a scooter at 11pm because I was craving some fish and this was the only place that was open past 10pm . I was soo happy when I got there all because I craved the fish and I was not disappointed. Granite I taste like the fish made from fish stick or like a school lunch, BUT it was good. Fried pretty well. The fries were good and the margarita was STRONG. Especially for it to be 10. Service is fast, and the place is really small. If you like late night "hole in the wall" places this is the best place to go. 10/10 Next time I come to Seattle I gotta come back
Came for the famous "Best Fish & Chips in Seattle." The tartar sauce and cole slaw were excellent! The fish was very good, but I've definitely had better in the Seattle area. Part of that might be based on my personal preference (I prefer batter compared to breadcrumbs; and much prefer a thicker filet that allows a more flaky fish versus their thinner cut). Personal preference aside, it was well seasoned and cooked perfect. The big disappointment was the fries. They were greasy, soggy, and not seasoned at all. If I had not ordered an extra tartar, I wouldn't have had more than one fry they were that bad. Service was friendly and fast and the bar has a nice, cozy hole-in-the-wall locals spot vibe.
Hallelujah its all smiles after finding this Old Man dive bar serving exceptional fish n chips in the bowels of Fremont! So I stumbled into the throw back joint to grab a pint and discovered the tastiest fish n chips in all of Seattle. First off this place is all "OLD SCHOOL"so enjoy it, not many like it anymore. The menu has several pages of items , but it's all about the flakey cod fish served with fries. Beer battered strips exploding with flavor and yes a splash of fresher squeezed lemon and homemade tarter sauce add to the experience. Fries were perfectly deep fried and plenty m, plus as a bonus mound of coleslaw added just to give you some veggies. Lots of local brews including Georgetown Brewing options at the bar to wash it all down with to maximize your meal experience. Now my server was also the bar tender who was a salty pirate ( well maybe ) but who doesn't love pirates! The decor is defiantly dated but that's the charm. I'd recommend coming drinking & dining here, you won't regret it.

We went to Pacific Inn and Pub on a weekday around midday, partly because it was once visited by Anthony Bourdain. The bartender was very kind, and we ordered at the bar before heading out to the patio. The outdoor seating was really nice and comfortable, especially with the heaters keeping everything warm. We ordered the fried shrimp, fried fish, tater tots, fries, and a salad. Overall, everything was delicious--the fried items were especially well done, crispy and full of flavor. The only thing we didn't really enjoy as much were the fries, but everything else made up for it. Overall, it was a really enjoyable meal in a great casual spot. read more

Pacific Inn is a great dive bar in Fremont. I've been here numerous times, and particularly love their outdoor patio, which is throughly heated and covered during winter, and open-air during the summer. Their beer selection is pretty standard for a Seattle bar, and you order at the bar which makes it pretty easy to get a drink. They bring the food out to your table. Food is decent, the fish and chips are very good and overall decent bang for your buck. read more
Some of the friendliest service I have encountered. They gave recommendations, checked in frequently appropriately, and provided extra tartar sauce at no charge. Food was amazing, and the atmosphere of the pub was calm and cozy. 5/5 - Fish and Chips (3 piece) - Best breaded fish and chips I've had! Fish was perfectly cooked and the batter was crispy. Fries were also crispy, carried a great fry, and were complemented well with the tartar sauce. The three piece portion is very filling and great to eat while catching up with your folks! read more

The food here was pretty good, I was a huge fan of the tartar sauce. I think the place makes good use of the space allowing the small interior to not feel claustrophobic. The staff is very friendly and the drinks are good. read more
Dive bar. If you want attentive bartenders and great service and decor, go across the street to Fiasco and pay double. If you want a standard dive bar with excellent fish and chips and pitchers (I think 20 something for std drafts) then this is your spot. Great patio right on Stone Way, go up to the bar to order food and drinks. What makes the fish and chips excellent? Thin batter. Not the thick crispy kind you find in most places around town. Lemon, good tarter, Cole slaw and fries. Go, it's great. read more

Definitely a locals pub and fairly unwelcome to us by blond tender. Stopped for a couple beers when in town. Kegger ran out 1/2 way on my beer. Jokingly I mentioned "looks like a spider time" which means beer on the house. Old blondie says we don't do that around here and where yu from... Hhhmmmm... read more

When they said, "World Famous Fish & Chips" they were not kidding! Love that through the whole meal, the breading of the fish did not get soggy and maintained the perfect crispiness all the way through! Service was quick and the atmosphere is very "neighborhoody". You do have to be over 21 to dine in, I'm unsure how that works for the outdoor seating. Outdoor seating was cozy and warm with all of the outdoor heaters!! Definitely will be recommending this place for others to try! read more

Incredible fish and chips in a sweet location. Was there on a nice day in early October so we got to sit outside. The food is phenomenal and freshly made. It's a little bit of a hybrid setup with the service as you have to order from the bar but they do bring it to you. The staff was very friendly, no reason not to try PIP! read more

Best Fish and Chips in Seattle! There is a reason this was Anthony Bourdain's favorite fish and chips joint in Seattle. No thrills, just tasty fish and chips! Great prices, great seasoning and breading! Had been wanting to go to this place for a while. Finally made the venture here during covid. Once I went, I have gone back many times! This place makes some tasty good food and their prices are way better than almost anyone in the area. Instead of going down the road to Ivar's or going to most other pubs, go here! I had been craving some fish and chips for a while and recently had been to the Tide's Tavern in Gig Harbor and was shocked to see their two piece cod is now $21! Here, it is half the price and twice as good! Combine this all with a good selection of drinks, nice patio in the back, and a friendly staff and you have the recipe for a five star place to go visit. Covid Precautions: I appreciated the steps this place has taken to keep everyone safe during this pandemic (here is hoping that it ends soon!!). They have a cardboard make shift gate built at the door and a bouncer keeping distance and capacity in check. There was hand sanitizer when you enter and when you pay. It is the little things that all add up! Cheers! read more

So is it always pub/21 and up? Often, places allow kids til 9pm or what not, and they have a patio so I had to wonder! My gf is in town and we are craving f&c but she has her little ones.
The pub is kind of small inside with bar as main focus tho it has outdoor seating. You could also call and ask. As alternative, Ivar's isn't too far away and also has great f&c.
Does Pacific Inn have a happy hour on Saturdays? Hours?
No HH ever, as the prices are already quite reasonable, the space is small and the place is usually packed around 5pm - 7p weekdays. It should be busier on the weekends, methinks.
