This is a new favorite of mines. Been here 3 times so far and can't wait to get back every time. What I like the most about this place is the vibe of it all. It's not divey, but not hipster either which I really appreciate. They also play good classic rock in here, but switch the music to something up-tempo when it becomes evening. I feel that anyone can feel comfortable here. Ok so the food and drink. I was told that this is a whiskey bar, but I'm a tequila girl so I wasn't able to explore their whiskey library. I didn't want any of the happy hour drink options, so I just asked for a margarita and it was damn good. I had too many to admit on here. The main food attraction at Triangle Spirits is their fried chicken, which has been dubbed by some as the best in the city. You can get the chicken as a slider or sandwich, boneless skinless thighs on the happy hour menu (great deal of 10 bucks for 3 pieces and fries), or as a meal (dark or white meat with a side, or half a chicken with 2 sides). I tried the happy hour chicken basket and the dark meat meal. After trying both, I feel that the chicken on the happy hour is better than the meal. The happy hour chicken is boneless, very tender and more flavorful than their chicken on the bone. The secret mix of seasonings is more pronounced on the boneless chicken than it is with the bone in. The bone in chicken was just ok to us and didn't blow us away and it was also ridiculously expensive. I would not pay 35.00 again for what I tasted. The bone in chicken was fried well, but didn't have as much flavor as we were expecting. Also, the mac and cheese was the most disappointing. I suggest skipping that as it's obvious that the cheese is some kind or processed concoction from a box. This is still an awesome bar in Fremont. Stop in for a good time and atmosphere. read more

Triangle Spirits - Dark Meat Fried Chicken Dinner - Southern Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I've only been here two times and they were both for Happy Hour. The Happy Hour prices for drinks are pretty darn good. My go-to HH cocktail here is the Vieux Carré, but I like herbal sweet & bitter, so it's right up my alley. Currently there are five HH cocktail options and they are $7... hard to find in Seattle! I've also had the rainier & rye for $9- the rye is great, forgot to ask what kind it is. I've had a few other HH drinks, which were alright, but these stand out the most. As for food, I've only tried the spicy Seattle dog, and I would get it again. The hot dog is cut up & shaped weird (see photo), but it tastes wonderful. I heard the fried chicken is great so I'll try that next time. Also, I was excited to see that they had buckeyes on the menu, but they didn't have any when we visited. Inside is spacious and woodsy, & outside there is an enjoyable patio. Servers are nice and seem happy to be there, which always elevates my experience anywhere. I definitely recommend coming to Triangle Spirits for Happy Hour (available daily 3-5pm, dine-in only). read more

Cool vibe with fun and engaging staff. Unusual assortment of beers on tap and samples are cheerfully provided. Sadly the food did not live up to the hype. Mac snd cheese. I cannot remember the last time i had elbow macaroni. Not bad, but a tad overcooked and the cheese sauce was average, with a neutral flavor. Not overly warm. Fries. Huge portion but sadly barely warm. A good variety of dipping sauces are available. Chicken sliders. This was where the disappointment really hit. We ordered 2 normal amd 2 spicy sandos. Chicken was crispy, but dry and lukewarm. A lone piece of iceberg lettuce was found under the chicken. The spicy version was not overly spicy but had a bit more flavor than the plain version. Buns were cold. Food is a 2, but the fun and engaging service brings rhe rating up to a 3. read more

The staff here is absolutely fantastic--super fun, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable about their spirits and menu. They offered great food suggestions and clearly know their stuff. The bourbon/whiskey selection is impressive, which is always a win for me since I'm from Kentucky.. The vibe is giving dive bar meets old school cool, with classic hip hop playing. It's the kind of place where you immediately feel comfortable settling in. I started with the deviled eggs, which were excellent--really well-balanced and perfectly creamy. Definitely worth getting as a starter. I also tried the Kale Caesar at the bartenders recommendation and that was a pleasant surprise. The dressing was light but the high-quality parm and homemade croutons shine through. It's a nice twist on the classic Caesar. For my main, I ordered the 3-piece dark meat chicken and asked if I could do half Nashville hot and half regular--they were happy to accommodate. The regular chicken was solid but could've used more flavor in the breading. I also noticed the chicken was darker than expected with a slight oil taste, which made me think the oil might need changing. The Nashville hot, however, was where this dish really shined. Great flavor with a nice kick that wasn't overly oily, and it had the punch the regular version was missing. If you're ordering chicken here, skip the regular and go straight for the Nashville hot. The house-made ranch dressing was excellent and paired perfectly with it. Triangle is a solid spot for lunch, happy hour, or late-night eats. It's reasonably priced with high-quality ingredients, and you can tell this is a scratch kitchen where food is made with care. While the regular chicken could use more flavor, the Nashville hot version really delivers. I wouldn't necessarily make this a destination spot when visiting Seattle, but if I'm in the area, I'd definitely stop in. And seriously, the staff makes this place--they're wonderful and truly elevate the experience. read more

My cousin and I were in town visiting for a few days and ended up here to grab a quick drink. We were definitely impressed by their whiskey selection and the bartender had great knowledge about what they had to offer. We tried a couple bourbon We hadn't before and enjoyed them. One drink turned into two, the three... and then we decided fried chicken was in order, and it was delicious!! We were so happy we ended up here, so ended up making it back 2 more times during our stay, so ended up having fried chicken three different ways on our trip. Would highly recommend! I'm going through fried chicken withdrawals!! read more

I visited to try the chicken sandwich. First, let's talk about the vibe--it's like a welcoming neighborhood bar. It leans a bit on the divey side, but in a fun way, with dim lighting and a large bar area. The staff were extremely friendly and kind. I wouldn't say they were overly attentive, but that's likely because we came on a Saturday night at 8 p.m., which probably contributed to waiting over 30 minutes for just one sandwich. Again, great people serving, but I wish the wait had been shorter. I ordered the chicken sandwich with Nashville-style sauce--a staff favorite. It had a mild kick of spiciness that paired nicely with the sweet pickles and a thin layer of lettuce. The fried chicken was juicy inside, crisp outside, and served on a good bun--easily in my top three fried chicken sandwiches in Seattle. I also ordered a non-alcoholic cocktail, the "Pony Boy," which was pretty good, especially with its strong ginger notes. Overall, I'd give it a 4 out of 5--a really great fried chicken sandwich! read more

Believe it or not this is our third visit here and second time in Vancouver. An old pal, Sal, frequents the place quite often. It has the atmosphere of one of the log cabin eateries in Alaska. Always a great time and usually a ball game on. Where we're from you would never order waffles in a bar, here, everyone does. With chicken. Oy Vey! It's delicious. Might be the juicy chicken or the fluffy airy waffles. Sal swears by the spicy chicken sandwich. Although, last time out he had the Fried chicken and loved that. I really like the Triangle burger. It's not all that triangle shaped, the bar is "Triangle" Spirits, so, it's the Triangle burger. Moving on. They have some wonderful Southern dishes and an exceptional whiskey bar. The service is very good and they do keep their eye on you. I suspect Sal has a thing for the waitress! 05/25 read more

Definitely some of the best fried chicken I've had in seattle. Good portions too. I got the white meat plate with mash potatoes and gravy, it was super good. The chicken was moist and the breading was spectacular. Friend got the Nashville hot fried chicken sandwich, came with fries. Also very good. Will definitely be back! read more

They have a delicious brunch. It's pretty normal brunch food, nothing out of this world, but it truly hit the spot! It wasn't too full on this day which was nice because we were able to get a table pretty easily! They do a boozy brunch too but we just did food. Their portions are pretty big, so keep that in mind when ordering. I would recommend getting the half size if they offer it for your dish! Instagram - Madeline's_Dines read more

10 bucks for a side of fries is laughable. That being said the chicken sandwich was awesome and I enjoyed the funky atmosphere inside. Service was standard if not memorable. Would return for the chicken sandwich. read more

Believe it or not, Triangle offers some of the best fried chicken in the area. Are you brave enough to try the Reaper rub? I promise you, you're not. Wash it down with one of their creative cocktails, lots of really fun and flavorful drinks coming from behind the bar! Triangle is located right in the heart of Fremont, offering a unique layout, and an inviting patio space for outdoor seating. Service isn't always the quickest, but they'll get to you, just be patient. The food is worth it. read more

Triangle Spirits is definitely a staple in Fremont! Good vibes, good food and drinks! Their whiskey list is impressive as are their cocktails. Very tasty fried chicken (I recommend the Nashville hot chicken). Service is also top notch! I usually sit at the bar though, and they're usually nicely attentive unless they're super packed. read more

The drinks were quite good, especially the seasonal ones. The food was also better than I anticipated for bar food. The truffle popcorn was quite well down in particular. Overall tasty! The server checked in with us enough. The ambiance was fine though it was hard to find a good spot to sit and see the TVs as it was pretty full. Overall it was a fun and kitschy kind of space and I liked it! read more

This has quickly become one of my top 5 spots in all of Seattle. A little unassuming bar in Fremont with a lot going on! Service has always been super friendly here and we've always been able to find seats quickly. The $2 are a perfect way to start off an evening. The poutine is some of my fave and I regularly dream about the kale ceaser with fried chicken. Everything is always fresh and tasty and we love to sit at the bar looking out at the Fremont foot traffic. Truly a Fremont institution and staple read more

This place was so cute and a vibe! My friends and I stopped by for a drink before dinner and we all loved our drinks. I got the mule and it's one of the best mules I've ever had! The drinks were also so reasonable in pricing which was great and our server was sweet. She did take some time to come around with the check but was able to get us all individual checks which was great. They usually have a game playing on their TVs so that's fun and just overall good looks great too. read more

First time visiting this establishment. Food was excellent! I had the Gumbo, and my cousin had the fried chicken with a side dish of greens. Everything was seasoned perfectly. The drinks were reasonably priced. This place well worth revisiting again. The service, and ambiance was excellent as well. I don't believe you will go wrong visiting this place. read more

Triangle Spirits has been around for decades, and it's evolved over the course of time. And in its current version, they have elevated both their f & b program with a serious whiskey selection and tasty eats. Their Whiskey Wednesdays is one of the best deals in town where you can get a shot or cocktail of good whiskey for $10 (recently it was Whistle Pig). But their regular prices on higher end spirits like Wellers are among the best in town. It's also Wing Wednesdays so that sweetens the deal. The fried chicken is rightly famous, and they also do a decent poutine. There are a bunch of regulars for good reason, and the bar is a great place to strike up a conversation or kick back solo. Definitely a mainstay of the neighborhood and always love stopping by, weather for 10 minutes or 2 hours. read more

Three of us went to Triangle because the Seattle Times reported that they had the best fried chicken in the Seattle metro area. They didn't disappoint. The chicken was great and the cocktails were excellent. Service was good but quite slow. The decor pushed Xmas to excess and of course parking was difficult, the roads to drive there were beat and rough and the usual weight of unhoused and unhinged people are a buzz kill. read more

A local business with strong dive bar vibes - but still upscale cocktails - we love it. I recently came in for a after-dinner drink and really enjoyed the ugly duckling - it was almost like a French 75, but with pear juice. While they have food, I did not try any - but what I saw looks good! Service was personable and quick. read more

In my opinion Triangle Spirts gets the best fried chicken award, that's if this kind award existed. They make a crazy good Vieux Carre! Staff are super nice and can make any fancy cocktail you like. Gumbo is amazing too. The space has a ton of character including western theme double doors to the restrooms. Outside is also dog friendly. read more

We had already eaten, so popped in here for a drink and dessert. Love that they serve buckeyes here! They were okay, not fantastic, but a great price at, like $2.00 for 2 of them. Or maybe it was only $1.00. We loved the ambiance in here, as well. We talked about coming back, then my husband excused himself to go to the bathroom. He came back frazzled, as while he was washing his hands, a cockroach crawled over his foot. Wet weather draws roaches, I know - they were practically roommates of mine when I lived off a canal in Fort Lauderdale. But it skeeved my husband out to the point he said he wouldn't be quick to come back here. Minus one star for the unwelcome guest lol read more

I liked this place! They have a variety of cocktails, I had a coconut tiki inspired drink as well as a happy hour pimms cup. I had the popcorn chicken, it was really tasty. I got the Nashville hot and it wasn't too hot. The chicken was very crispy. I enjoyed it! read more

Super nice staff and SUPER dog friendly! Only had drinks and a beef stew but will definitely go back!

Great food and great drinks. Still need to try a few more things, but I've never been disappointed so far.

Great place to stop towards the end of our long walk. Right in time for happy hour from 3-5pm! Tried the spicy chicken and fries basket which was juicy and flavorful, and not very 'heat' spicy. Plenty of crispy fries and I left full for $10! The old fashioned was delicious too! Wonderful customer service to top it off! Looking forward to coming again! read more

I recently made my first visit to Triangle to celebrate my birthday along with 20 or so of my nearest and dearest. I called some weeks ahead to make sure they could accommodate a group our size and emailed the manager with our details so she could reserve the front room for us. There was a bit of a mix-up upon our arrival, probably due to my having to change the date, but the person who ended up being our server for the night (I think her name was Melanie?) took the news in stride, quickly pivoted to get us situated, and took very good care of our party that night. Dim lighting, casual and lively (or maybe that was just us...), cabiny vibe complete with taxidermied animals, plus a list of great sounding cocktails that were just as attractive and tasty as they sounded on paper (or our phone, as the case was). They're also known for their fried chicken which got the thumbs up from our group. They have a Beyond burger for veggie folx and mocktails if you're not in the mood for spirits. And their fries are really good. Truly looking forward to coming back again. read more

The chicken here is incredible! I love the popcorn chicken so much. The fries are also very good and a very large portion for the price. Service is always friendly and quick. And I love the open window doors and outdoor seating at this location. read more

Triangle spirits happy hour!! Their fried chicken (recommend the spicy but the plain is very good too) is insanely good and always comes out extremely hot and crispy. Some of the best prices for happy hour food with good serving sizes I've seen anywhere in Seattle. Staff are friendly, the space is super cute and I love that it has solid seating options for any size of group. Bathrooms are clean. Overall 10/10. read more

1st customer, ordered out the half chicken with 2 sides (out of 1 side I wanted, so op for the Mac n cheese). Both sides were ok, liked the Cole slaw. Chicken portions were sufficient for 2, very meaty thigh, leg and breast, good crust, overall good taste. Overall a very satisfying meal. Atmosphere was nice, number of patrons enjoying themselves, pub/bar atmosphere liked it. Staff were responsive, pleasant and social, felt very welcomed even for a take out. Will return for a sit down meal and brew, thank you for a pleasant experience. read more

If you ever find yourself looking for a bar to hang at while your kids are enjoying (?) a death metal concert at El Corazon, trek the 16 minutes up to Fremont and come here. Delicious craft cocktails served next to cans of Rainier. Chicken to die for with perfectly crispy crust (hint, ask for extra pickles on the side) and delish crispy fries There is a neighborhood bar feel to Triangle Sprits, welcoming, where every body might not know your name when you walk in, but they intentionally find out to use it when you leave. Bartender John is an expert at his craft and service, knowing how to connect people, how to make drinks, and anticipate every need. I'd come back just for his company again! Highly recommend. read more

We stopped here for a drink and discovered that they sell buckeyes, 2 for $1. It was exactly the sweet treat that my midwestern heart needed! The drinks were great and service was good too. I feel like this place is always crowded so I'm glad we finally tried it. The music kind of sucked but hopefully it was just a bad night for music? Will definitely have to go back to confirm. Wanted to take off a star just for the music but that didn't seem fair, especially since we didn't eat dinner there read more

A fun little bar in the heart of the Fremont neighborhood -- stopped by for some late night bites before heading to a nearby midnight comedy show and it was the perfect spot to hang out while we waited until showtime. The atmosphere is super laid back and we had a great time there. The servers are very sweet and check up on you without being overbearing. The have a limited menu but serve food late into the night, as well as a ton of great drinks! The fries were super yummy and the mac and cheese was fairly basic but just about what you'd expect. They have a great drink combo called the 'Come Hell or High Water' which consists of a tequila shot with a watermelon High Noon. I would totally come back again! read more

Service was nice but the food was very blah. The spicy happy hour chicken tender dish is heavily breaded and very salty. Will go back for the happy hour if in the neighborhood but not a must have. read more

Triangle is worth the wait. I kept telling myself that since I've tried to eat here twice before, but the line was just too long. I've heard legendary tales about the greatness of Triangle's crispy boiis, and I knew I would stop at nothing to try it. We arrived with voracious appetites, and ended up waiting about an hour to get inside. I was fired up about the Restaurant Week deal, and tried to order it but they stopped serving it after 8. I was striking out left and right, and was frazzled about what I would order now. But then we came together as a TEAM and decided to take down the MONSTEROUS DINNER FOR FOUR! It was a half-spicy, half-original recipe battle to the end. With four sides of mac and cheese, and two of green beans, this with a meal for the ages. I felt better about what I was about to do to my body since we had some vegetables. The chicken was outstanding, with a great level of crispiness on the outside. Each bite was crispy, salty, AND juicy. It was seriously a mind-meting experience. Exactly what you would want out of fried chicken. The spicy version wasn't overly hot, and had a very nice flavor to it. I also didn't feel ridiculously disgusting after eating an absurd amount of chicken, so I was very happy about that. A great spot to chow down on some chicken, can't wait to try other things here. read more
