If you love plants and patio seating, this is your place! Such a precious little spot either in intimate moody inside lighting or outside sunlight. Every Sunday they do the farmers market downtown so it can be hit or miss rush hours. My friends and I went around 12ish on a Sunday and sat right away! Patio is first come first serve. I had the original Benedict which comes on a biscuit instead of an English muffin which was a nice twist. The biscuit was a little too dry, so I used their amazing jelly to finish it up. The hollandaise sauce isn't your regular sauce, it has a tangy lime taste to it. Also had the chicken and waffles which was delightful. The waffle wasn't too sweet paired with the perfectly battered fried chicken making it an explosion of flavors! read more

Such a cute, trendy bar with amazing, strong drinks! Michael was our waiter & was so kind, sweet and fun even while the bar was packed with folks on a Saturday night. He deserves a raise, haha! 10/10 experience :-) read more

Stopped in for some drinks. Great cocktails. I didn't try the food this round but the menu looks good. read more

When exploring Ballard we stumbled upon Percy's as they were able to accommodate out group of 6+ at one of their outdoor benches without a reservation. We really got lucky with timing as it seems another group just left and when walking through the restaurant in the back and later every table seemed to be filled. Yes to no wait times! For our group to start we ended up getting a couple shots to begin the night and the bartender brought us a variety we usually wouldn't order such as basil tequila and sage vodka which were delicious! They paired them with sprite and pineapple juice to chase and wow what great combinations. We never would have thought to order them so they were great suggestions we will remember moving forward! As for food I ended up trying the double smash burger with fries that we shared between two people. The burger was solid, a little dry in the middle for the patty sizes) but it was plenty to share between two people for the night. Fries were skinny as well but would probably ask for them a little crispier next time. For cocktails I also tried the honey bee and would recommend getting the cocktail as well! It was a nice balance of sweetness to pair with the savory. The staff was also super great and accommodating for our large group. Checked in us often and ensured we had all the food/drinks we needed. Food was OK but drinks/experience/staff made it 5 stars in my book! read more

*** 3.7 stars *** We came here on a Saturday night at around 7. It was seat yourself so we grabbed the only available table right away. We each ordered an entree - buttermilk fried chicken dinner, shrimp & grits, fried fish taco, and Cajun gumbo. We also ordered fries and cornbread to share. My entree was the Cajun gumbo. It was very mediocre, almost below average. The sauce had a weird taste to it, not the one you would expect in a regular gumbo. The sausage was cut into very thin slices, and the other meat was made into fried meatball. I also tried my friends' entrees and they were all pretty good, the fried chicken was a bit over cooked though. We all enjoyed the cornbread and the fries a lot. The cornbread was brushed with honey, which added a very subtle sweet taste - it was great. Service was good. read more

Percy's is the Abercrombie and Fitch of cocktail bars. It is popular and trendy but not that great. You get better treatment when you're pretty and dressed up. The cocktails were delicious and the ambience is great (love the decor & tarot card readings on Tuesday's) but the service just isn't good. Sat at the bar and were given no attention. I tried to make eye contact with the bartender for a good 5+ minutes, eventually placing my card on the bar when he didn't look over to me. He didn't see the card either, because he never walked our direction, despite us patiently sitting with empty cups. I don't mind waiting, but the place was not at all busy and the reason he wasn't paying attention to us is because he was chatting with another bartender, who was drinking a shifty. read more

Occasion Came here on a date. Not too busy on a Tuesday night. Food Cheese board (4/5) basic cheese board with 3 different cheeses, fig jam, mustard, pickled veggies and warm bread. You get what you order! Chicken fingers (4/5) breaded and delicious. Would order this again! Ordered one cocktail. It was a tad bit too sweet for my liking. Service They were not super attentive and we had to flag them down for water and check. They don't come in and check on you much which was frustrating if you're hungry (docked a star for this) Ambience Dim inside, and casual. Good music. This place is a great place to hang but it doesn't scream amazing. read more

I came in for crunch because I'd once ordered a peanut cola a summer or so ago and my mind had associated Percy's with crunch. I was not disappointed. While the peanut cola was no longer on the menu, there was an amazing chicken sandwich, fried crispy to perfection--like what biting into the surface of the moon (texturally) must feel like. This was ideal for completing my quest for crunch. Mattie/Maddie (unsure of spelling((?)) was such a helpful, genuine, cheery, and attentive presence that I would happily have stayed longer if not for the demands of capitalism on my time. The atmosphere at Percy's has been lovely every time I've been in--the sort of place you expect to see Misty Dawn from the third season of American Horror Story waltzing into after a long day of healing maimed cranes. I would be here more often if I lived in the neighborhood. I loved the playlist tonight, too: it soothed my millennial heart in such a way that it made me realize how adrift I'd been...removed so far from the mindset of a carefree youth...Priceless. I'll be back. read more

- Deviled eggs had an obscene amount of kale. The kale was obviously recently rinsed but due to the amount of water, it made the rest of the appetizer runny. It was visibly disheveled and was made in a rush - The fried chicken dinner was good, but the accompanying side of red beans and rice was flavorless even with the minimal slices of aromatic sausage - Fried pickles were good, not amazing. They had a rustic look and were unevenly cut. The breading was consistent and seasoned. The ranch sauce that was for doing appeared to be house made and was really good with the texture of the pickles. - We had the catfish tacos and that were unimpressive, but at least the seasoned fries were really amazing. read more

Came in for a late brunch on a Saturday around 2pm and the restaurant was pretty empty. It has a pub like feel and really great vintage aesthetic. We ordered the rosemary gin fizz $12. It was a pricey cocktail compared to the rest of their selection but you could tell a lot of care went into making it and it was delicious! Also tried the scramble, which was all veggie and came with seasoned fried potato wedges (sort of?) and a biscuit (with butter and jam) $11. The biscuit and scramble were amazing! I would highly recommend as a brunch option. They have the brunch menu until 3pm in Saturday's if you want to try it out. Would definitely come back! read more

This is one of my favorite places in Seattle to come for drinks. The staff is always super friendly, and I love the genuine vibe here This was the first place in Ballard I've gone since everything started opening up again (and besides that I was out of the country for most of the last year) so it should definitely say something but this was the first place I came! COVID dining: they have a tent with maybe six long picnic style tables out in front. The tent is covered on all sides except for one of the long ones. Great to protect from rain and wind! Four stars because the food options pre-COVID weren't my favorite. I came here for brunch and was a bit underwhelmed. But for now, the kitchen is closed and I'll definitely try the food again when things get a little bit more regular. Regardless, the Honey Bee is one of my favorite cocktails ever! read more

Holy HOT shishito peppers!!!! My goodness! Shishit's are a usual go to for us, and these were like I've never experienced! Very good cocktails and mocktails! I would have liked more vegetable entree options in the menu, but they were more veggie appetizer options. Sat at the bar, service was great! Very cool atmosphere with a ton of plants everywhere. But WOW, the spicy shishitos, I'm still not over it. They were good, don't get me wrong, and I like spice, but again, WOW. Proceed with caution! read more

Ambiance, seating, vibes, music, and most importantly the drinks are all on point! A highlight of our Seattle trip. Bartenders are great and really do an awesome job at whipping up delicious drinks. If yall get the chance, order "the awakened one" cocktail. My favorite. Put this spot on your list of bars to check out! read more

I went here mainly for the mimosa flight. It was not cheap so if you are going here for the mimosa flight, I would look at the price before deciding. Otherwise, it was pretty much your standard mimosa with different kinds of juices. They deliver you a whole bottle of champagne for the table and 4 different kinds of juices. For the food, I got the chicken and waffles. The waffle was your basic crispy but soft waffle. The chicken was tender and juicy with a nice crispy outside. The chicken had good flavor but probably is not what I would consider the best. The food was kind of pricey for the quality in my opinion but not bad. We came on a Saturday for lunch and the place was basically empty besides the patio. The patio was filled. The patio seems to be the main attraction on a sunny weekend. If you are wanting to eat out there, I would recommend getting there early. Otherwise you pretty much have any table to choose from on the inside. The lighting is kind of dark so I liked sitting by the window and would recommend those tables as well. They have a bunch of group style round booths along one side as well which are fun for a group meal. I am kind of iffy on if I would recommend this place or not. If you are already in the area and wanting some place to eat, I would consider going here depending on your budget. read more

A bit fancy for not being fancy. $8 frozen fries? Probably not gonna be back soon. Service was standard bar vibe. Staff all seemed happy and hung in the bar corner talking. 4 chicken tender bites $14 read more

So I guess we all collectively decided that this place is the "classy" place on Ballard Ave because, what, they have those vintage globe lights? What we forget is that the clientele here on a Saturday is so obnoxiously loud, you'd think Samantha, Amy, or whatever other trust fund name they have, were shipped straight to Ballard from Malibu or Long Island. Sigh, I thought we were in Seattle. Service is a complete mystery here. You seat yourself and don't get greeted for 20 minutes because the service is busy with everyone else and they work hard and we should still tip them 50% because they work hard (the implication being we don't). I used to like this place, but it got ickier lately. Go to Hazlewood on Market for the class that is so sorely missing at Percy's. read more

Loved this place! Service was decent, kinda just normal. Cocktails are DELICIOUS and so original. The food and ambiance was also the same as drinks -- love love the vibe and the originality! read more

My go to cocktail spot! This place has a great vibe! Slightly rustic, kind of outdoorsy, and quaint. I've been coming here for a few years now and I just can't stay away. Whether on a Sunday for their bloody marys (which are amazing!), mid-week cocktails or a Friday night, this place is always on point. The craft cocktail menu is pretty extensive and drinks are always on point. Weekend evenings get pretty busy and standing is likely. This is a great spot to stop in for pre-dinner drinks, especially for a date night! Pro tip - I've had large group meet ups here, 10-15 people, in the back room and they've been awesome. read more

We got the Spencer, awakened one, and honeybee. To preface, I don't really like the taste of alcohol so my opinion doesn't really mean much but out of the three I liked the Spencer the most because it tasted the least strong. It tasted a bit like tomato juice to me. The other two tasted much stronger to me, especially the awakened one. For honeybee, I didn't really enjoy the strong rosemary taste. read more

Review in the Time of Covid: We popped down here on a rare date night, and found that the front outdoor seating was empty. It was a chilly night, but they did have heaters available so we stepped in to make sure we'd be served if we sat outside. The server said we were welcome, but they've been struggling with the propane tanks being stolen, so no heat, but he welcomed to check out the back patio, which was a bit too enclosed for us. We were sold on the polite and efficient server and decided to sit in the open area outside. We were promptly and enthusiastically attended to, not forgotten at all! I barely had to look at the menu to order a drink - a Vieux Carre is one of my favorites - and it was perfect! We ordered the fried pickles on recommendation of the server, and I had the burger while my husband had the chicken sandwich. The burger is sweet and salty and full of umami. I opted for the kale caesar instead of fries, and it was so good, but filling! I don't think I could finish the burger or the salad. Large, flavorful portions! I had a second drink - it was gin based and I can't remember what it was called, TBH, but it was 100% as good as the first drink I had. This was such a great date-night spot. The #1 thing to do here is sit and drink and snack - the entree portions are few, but really good bar food. The service is perfect, and I will happily come back. read more

Good drinks. Laid back ambiance and good service. Went out without reservation on Sat night and was able to sit down and grab drinks/food

Came here for happy hour and this place is a great find! The inside atmosphere is well decorated. Nice spacious inside. They have the BEST fried pickles here and their cocktails are amazing! Couldn't believe their happy hour drink prices! Our waitress was very friendly and kept checking in on us if we needed anything. Also helped recommend some cocktails based on our tastes. Definitely have to come back here for more food and drinks! read more

I took The Hubs here for his birthday in April (I know it's taken me a loooonng while to finally write the review) and we were both happily surprised by the interior of the restaurant. It's both cozy yet spacious, and classy yet with a laid-back vibe. We sat in one of their plush booths and felt happy and at ease. So, for ambiance: A+. Service was also quite good. But food? Eh, it left much to be desired. The fries were super soggy--like beyond soggy. And greasy. They should consider serving them in a paper-lined basket instead of a tumbler. The tumbler just makes them steam and get even more soggy. The Mac & Cheese was decent but nothing to write home about. The corn bread was dry, hard, over baked and not sweet. Bummer. Our gumbo and dirty rice was flavorful but very spicy--too spicy for us. The popcorn was okay. I mean, it's just popcorn with some spices on it--nothing special. So, for food: C-. So, alas, our food wasn't good, but we'd go back for the ambiance. read more

This bar is really nice! I've never been here before, and seriously lucked out that a table opened up right when we got here at 8:30. As the night went on, it got a lot more crowded. The server was kind of hilarious, in a you're not the best but you're funny kind of way. He didn't seem to know much about the drinks on or off the menu, but also looked about 18 years old, so maybe that's fair. I was super amped about the drinks with the lavender infused honey, because I love both lavender and honey- but fair warning, these drinks are SWEET! I wasn't a huge fan of any of the cocktails I had because they were both sweet and sour, which just kind of made them gross. I noticed all of the drinks on the menu have lime or lemon in them which probably makes them all sour. I would def order cocktails here again, but I'll probably go off the menu. We were sitting by the kitchen, and could see the food. It looked DELICIOUS! I will say that the guy in the kitchen who was handling the food (like really handling, like pushing down the top of the burger with his whole hand handling was not wearing gloves. This always bugs me. I think the positive vibe here is the reason for my 4 stars, because my review is that this place just misses the mark all around, but is almost where/how I want it to be. Make better drinks and wear gloves in the kitchen. read more

The drinks were delicious. Went in on a Saturday night and it wasn't super packed. Found a booth fairly quickly and we enjoyed a couple of beverages.

Percy specializes in good mixed drinks. They really take the time to perfect your drink. While they are on the pricier side, the extra few $ is well worth it for their fresh ingredients and attention to flavor. I highly recommend getting one of their crafted cocktails. Give them a chance to shine and show-off what they do best! Space-wise, I love the decor. There are plants everywhere and wood furnishings. There's an outdoor, but covered, section in the back that is typically lit up a bit more than in the bar area. If it's not cold, I love to be back here with a group. This place can get plenty busy, so just be prepared to wait in line at the bar for a drink, or if you're sitting down, wait for your server and drink order. They are working as fast as they can without sacrificing quality. read more

This is a cool hipster bar with innovative cuisine. I had the duck confit huevos rancheros ($13) and a Bloody Mary ($9). The Bloody Mary was awesome. The huevos rancheros were good but not great. A little under seasoned. A good place for drinks though. Check it out. read more

I love this place for drinks but the food just isn't my favorite. The atmosphere is wonderful. Pre-pandemic it was always packed and the vibes is very 1920s boho. They have a lovely back patio as well. However, recently ordered their cajun chicken sandwich to go. I picked it up early and the fries were already cold. The sandwich was just okay. It was nothing special, which is kind of a bummer because they make it sound like a beautiful true southern sandwich. Instead it was underwhelming and there was, disappointingly, more bun than chicken. It's possible it's better when you're able to order in-house... but I can't get behind that bun to chicken ratio. Besides the sandwich, the staff was a delight, as always. Definitely hope these guys have success when we're able to fully open again. read more

Percy's bartenders make great cocktails. If you like good cocktails go to Percy's. They also have a nice little menu of food.

What an ace of a place. Its got everything a 30-something wants: rustic woody ambiance, spacious booths, alcohol artistans behind the bar, and memorable eats. Recommend: old fashioned, honey bee, midnight bloom, in Percy's we trust I've come here for bumble bff dates, fiancé dates and group HH and this place both impresses with its low key bomb af drinks. For $14 you can name a liquor and a flavor and they will make you something unique. The lavender honey bee drink is AWESOME! Highly recommend. They also do a great old fashioned. The best thing about this place is they have HAPPY HOUR EVERY DAY FROM 4-6pm. And happy hour ALL day on Monday's. That includes food AND cocktails. a true win for the Ballard area. Go check out Percy's! read more

First time I came in was on a rainy Seattle night with my cousin. The outfits they had on and the drinks made that night was something that was in engraved in my brain. Fast forward to a few years and a warm summer day in Seattle it didn't give me the same energy but the drinks were just as good. We were able to sit outside and enjoy the fresh air. The food and drinks were great read more

Just OK. Service was lovely and their team was very attentive. We stopped in for cocktails and just weren't too impressed.

With all of the walking around we were hungry damn it! Thanks Yelp for another Seattle win! This place has some serious mixologists who are phenomenal at what they do. There is also magic in the kitchen. Loved the decor and next time I visit will check out the back outside area. Hush puppies were a win! Crispy outside fluffy inside (those are hard to come by). Bacon aoli= winning. I asked the server for his recommendation and I got the Po'Boy. Lots of oysters perfectly fried crispy. I could not finish the sandwich or the fries because it was a lot to eat...so my thin fries when to my girls. They got a chicken sandwich and pulled pork sliders. The chicken was the favorite out of the two. One girl got the Herrick Helper and that was a win. The other (who is super picky as all hell) asked for a"In Percy's We Trust" and listed all of her likes/dislikes. The server was super patient and lo and behold-- a drink with god knows what (I don't remember-- its been a few weeks) arrived and super picky friend loved it. read more

Very upset with the management and servers at this restaurant. The servers switched our tab and charged our table much more than our actual bill was. Asked to speak to the manager while he smoked his cigarette and said "what do we have to talk about." The bar tender Callen refused to speak to me and locked the door in my face. I was really upset to see how the staff handled this situation, especially for a trying time for business. I do not recommend this restaurant, the drinks were simple and nasty and took almost and hour to receive each round or even get in touch with a server. If you go to this restaurant, makes sure you're ready to have your bill altered and for the entire staff to talk poorly about you as you're walking out the door. It was quite the treat. read more

came here on friday night for drinks. These drinks were some of the best drinks i've had in a long time. Our favorite was the honey bee. Only complaint is no prices on the drink menu. We asked our waiter how much all the drinks were and he said 14 or 15$ for the specialty drinks read more

Don't know why this place has such bad reviews! I came to visit my sister for the weekend from SF and I absolutely loved this place! We have a lot of bars similar to this in SF but none of them can compare to this bar. I love how they use fresh squeezed juice for their drinks and they all tasted very refreshing. I highly recommend both the watermelon and strawberry drink. If you prefer dive bars then this is not the place for you. The bartenders were attentive and nice.

Percy's & Co. - Bomb!! - Gastropubs Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Percy's is my Cheers. It wasn't that way when I visited during their first week, but it has quickly become a warm and inviting space over the past few months. The negative reviews for Percy's all occurred within the first month-1.5 months of being open. Obviously there's a learning curve to get kinks worked out. It happens in ALL restaurants. Obviously those people have never had to work in the service industry/known anyone that has/does. While the service may have lacked/not been as immediate as the reviewers wanted, saying that the food is on the same level as McDonald's is just ludicrous. The Pork Rillette is my Achilles heal (order it, mix the fat into the pork, and feast). The gnocchi is another crowd pleaser, along with the cod fritters and gravlax. If I started to rattle off everything I've been pleased to eat, I'd basically list the whole menu. Drinks wise - you really can't go wrong either. All the bartenders are masters at mixing up a tasty drink - just tell them what youre craving and they'll take care of you. Five stars. All the way. Just don't go on a Friday or Saturday when the bros are out in full force in Ballard -- now that is just a whole different can of worms. read more

One of the nicer, elevated bars in the area. It's around 15$ a cocktail, but they are quite delicious. Service was attentive and friendly. The atmosphere is comfortable, and I like the rounded booths. The booths can comfortably seat 4 lean adults. A fun place to relax and have a cocktail before going to a cheaper bar. The food was kinda stodgy. I ordered fried dill pickles, and my tongue evaporated into dust. It seemed as if they have been brined too heavily/long, or perhaps over-seasoned. My kale salad was honestly a lightly dressed head of kale chopped up with bits of nuts a la PCC pre-pack, but it was convenient! Don't expect to be blown away by something artistic with the food, but the seasoning and basic nature of the dishes might not be worth the extra gauc if you want the whole package in one place. Final thought: Get your bar crawl started here! read more

I really like the atmosphere of this place. Its casual, and has a awesome back patio! Came here for drinks and was pleasantly surprised by the craft cocktails here. I would have tried all of them, if I could! I will definitely be back for the food. The drink I had was perfectly concocted. The awakened one has lemongrass infused liquor with ginger and cilantro..... So good. Our bartender was pleasant and sweet. The decor inside was my favorite out of all the bars in Ballard. It has a apocraphy feel, with small glass containers of who knows what. Small vases of green foliage and succulents. The outside patio is perfect for groups of friends in the summertime. The bar is pretty cool, decorated with wood, marble and brass. Look for the small jar that says "brain"! read more

Great ambiance. Feels a little bougie like a girls night out. Mocktail options were very good PG-13 was super good. Ehrman sounded good on paper but then it was extremely floral smell, then too floral taste. Tasted like body wash soap. Or when you spray your perfume and it goes in your mouth! But we had great company, and it was a great night regardless. Fries were thin, salted up, and spicy dip. read more
