The Neighbor Lady

Great atmosphere, food, and service! Glad to have found this place in my new neighborhood!

Had the burger and sweet potato fries with the chipotle honey mustard. Was delicious. Didn’t taste healthy at all, just the way I like it! Service was good. The only issue was that the soda tasted «off»…but hey, it’s bar soda, so can’t really complain haha.

Nice hangout spot. Loved the ambience and the decorations inside. If only the wallpaper was peeling… would have added to the charm! Parking is a bit odd as there is construction going on next door.
I really enjoyed the sweet potato fries and fries in general. The burger I had was so-​so. Pretty bland and a little dry. Good beer selection and nice place to hang out with some homies.

The neighbor lady is a classed up sister to the Twilight exit. The staff is often interchanged, so regulars are often switching as well. Overall one of my favorite spots.
The food here is homey and filling. I love their grilled California chicken club. The specials are bomb, and the events like brunch on St Pattys Day are always worth it.
The tap list is different than twilight, but they always have a good dozen ready. They have a great over the bar shelf selection of liquids, but just like any pub are probably not going to have anything absurdly fancy on hand.
It’s also directly around the corner from Uncle Ikes for anyone looking for legal Seattle retail marijuana.

Amazing New Orleans shrimp sandwich. 5 stars for that alone and get the sweet potato fries.

Friendly neighborhood joint. Nice folks, cozy atmosphere, decent comfort food. Fine place for a beer and some snacks with friends. No malice intended, but it would be irresponsible of me not to mention the «Huevos Rancheros.» What you get is some tortilla chips smothered in their red bean chili and melted cheese (aka Soggy Nachos) with an egg on the side (mine was scrambled and bone dry), and a little pile each of raw onion and tomato — which I guess are supposed to equal DIY salsa? Sorry, but this is not Huevos Rancheros, and is possibly a violation of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. My advice is to stick with the pub food standbys — sandwiches, mac n’ cheese, chili (in a bowl).

What a great «hangout spot»!
I came here as I was in town for 2 days and needed a drink. After walking all over Seattle and experiencing those BIG hills! Whoo I was ready to sit and relax.
I’m happy I walked into The Neighbor Lady. I needed to recharge my phone and the only plugs they had were located in the front of the door. I walked in nonchalant and charged my phone and couldn’t help notice the nice talkative bartender Darren P. He looked at me and greeted me with great pleasure.
After a couple minutes of sitting down I noticed there was Happy Hour going on. WHAT! Happy Hour is legit! Happy Hour is all day Sunday! I love it!
Sandwiches are worth telling your friends about and they ALL can be made vegetarian. Pool, arcade games, and 6 different kinds of vector wallpaper. It’s darker than dark, so everyone looks sexy, and they’ve managed to find some of the nicest bar staff in the NW. Get at this place before it turns into a condo hot spot!
I definitely give this spot a 4 star mostly because of the cheap drinks and delicious French Fries. Order a round of $ 3 Bitburgers, share a basket, and grab a booth.
The crowd is a little older20−30 year olds and I fit right in with the crowd; the jukebox leaves something to be desired; the wallpaper is pretty legit!
This is a must stop when in Seattle!

Reminds me of the «bounty» in LA
Cool place, chill and laid back. Nice neighborhood feel.

Strong drinks and a side room with an arcade. You don’t get much luckier. The bf and I love coming here to play pinball and Ms. Pacman. Order at the bar and they’ll bring the food out to you. Speaking of the food, just don’t, it’s not good; or keep it simple and order fries. Just come for the drinks and atmosphere. Love the décor, it’s like an old western brothel. Pool table too.

A nice place away from the loud annoying people around pike and pine. It’s a great place to chill, play games or pool and you can even hear the people you’re with. I’ve been here before and had some food and food is good. Drinks are good. Service is good. Pretty simple place that’s welcoming and in a more quiet neighborhood.

Classic neighborhood-​casual bar atmosphere that isn’t classy nor a dive, it’s just comforting.
My friend and I both had the mac n cheese with chicken and a beer each. The portion of mac n cheese seemed small, but overall with the salad was appropriately sized.
I lozed my beer! The Trickster IPA on tap is pretty good. My friend had the grapefruit beer and loved it, too.
Their monitors/​cash registers stopped working and we could tell they were doing everything they could to make us happy. They did well. What a headache for the staff.
The bar needs better ventilation. Wayyyy too hot in there.

Such delicious food, cool bartenders, games, pool, etc. It’s no Twilight, but maybe in time…

Favorite neighborhood bar. Warm cozy vibes. Never too packed. Pool table! This & the Twilight Exit (same owners) are so damn great. Go here for your birthday for giant free drinks & mug you can keep!
Also, great food. Get The Hoagie or the Green Goddess salad!

The Neighbor Lady has everything you ever wanted in your local watering hole – good food, affordable drinks, and a chill, unpretentious atmosphere. Heck, my friends and I who live on Capitol Hill actually drive here for food and drinks every few weeks because we enjoy this place so much.
The food is way above average for bar food. Miso-​glazed salmon? Chicken in a cumin-​heavy lentil curry? Sandwiches whose fillings always breach the perimeters of the bread? Count me in, especially since you’ll probably never drop more than $ 12 on your meal. Their tap selection rotates every now and then, and features some of the usual PNW culprits (think Black Raven, Double Mountain, Anthem, etc.). There’s also usually a drink special every night that’s a fairly good deal.
This is a great bar for hanging out and catching up with friends over a meal and a couple of drinks. The price is right, and the convivial atmosphere is conducive to conversation and having a great time.

This bar is just right: the food is excellent, the vibe is cool, and Ty is a wonderful bartender who anyone would be lucky to be served by. There’s no reason to avoid The Neighbor Lady.

If «nice dive bar» existed, this would be the place. It’s a place I wish I had around when i was in my early 20s to hang out with friends, be boisterous and still think I’d be safe a few drinks down the road.
I had my go-​to moscow mule and I just wish it hadn’t been their well-​vodka. My fault I guess but it was almost undrinkable. Otherwise, the atmosphere was great and there was a jukebox in the corner so +1 for that!

Okay. I’ve only been a few times. Service is good. Selection decent. Busy often. I guess this means positive things. Suffers from the typical Seattle afflictions: too well lit, Seattle «freeze» and a lack of investment…
If you want a cool place to hang with your mates this place works.
Doesn’t have the neighborhood feel you might expect to beguile its name… But definitely worth a check out.
Oh and the Ms. Pacman is a plus.

Having moved from Capitol Hill to the Central District, we’re still adjusting to having fewer walkable options. One of the closest bars is now the Neighbor Lady, which we’d heard good things about and decided to audition for the role of «neighborhood bar.»
We stopped in earlyish on a weeknight (they do have happy hour specials, but we missed them). Lots of booth seating was available and there were just a handful of small groups chatting and drinking, not too rowdy. Sure, it’s kind of divey inside, but in a cozy, friendly way — wood floors, vintagey wallpaper, and art in fancy frames on the walls. We tried a couple of their draft ciders (Ace and Anthem, I think). Prices were reasonable and service was quick. In addition to beer and cider, they have a full bar and usually feature a rotating special cocktail on the board.
They have trivia nights, $ 5 mimosas and Bloody Marys on Sundays, a vegetarian-​friendly menu (but they do serve meat), and they have pinball machines in the back, so I can see a lot of reasons for making this our regular bar! (Bonus: the CD’s only pot shop is right next door.) I’m looking forward to visiting again and trying their dinner menu.

Favorite bar… ever? Maybe too early to tell but I do know that I have fallen in love with the Neighbor Lady. The charm of a great bar is hard to do. It’s divey but yet somehow well put together and almost sophisticated. They have some good beers on tap and offer a slew of other drinks. They have a pool table, a leg lamp, vintage wall paper, awesome décor, and a Ms. Pac Man machine!
The food though is what has really won me over. Great specials for amazing prices. My first visit I tried the special Maple Whiskey Steak over mustard greens and parsnip purree. Amazing. Perfectly cooked steak, great savory sauce, paired well with the sweetness of the purée, and greens to complete the dish. The next time I had to try their sweet potato fries. These are some of the best I have ever had, if not the best. They have the perfect crispy exterior and have the perfect salt to them. Every fry was perfectly cooked and not too greasy. To supplement the fries I ordered the Green Goddess salad with chicken added. This was a heft salad and I loved it. The tahini dressing, almonds, green apple and raisins were all so tasty with the hearty kale bedding.
The clientele and the atmosphere is what I love best here but I think the Neighbor Lady has it all going on.

This place is fun, with two pinball machines and pacman to play, along with cool decorations including the lamp from a Christmas story!
If you want food while sitting at a table you have to order from the bar then they bring it out to you. For drinks you order them at the bar then wait until they are made.
I had the gluten free crêpe which was yummy. It’s nice they mark the gluten free options on the menu.
My husband had a sandwich with sweet potato fires. He liked his sandwich just not the fries. (Although I loved the fries they were nice and crispy!)
This is a fun place to grab some drinks I just wish their menu had a few more options that I would’ve wanted.
