Watershed Pub & Kitchen

Copy Link

This Northgate brewpub has a full bar, more than 20 beers on tap, and great bar food like grilled cheese sandwiches with Beecher’s cheddar and gouda and “pie folds,” crispy sandwiches made with pizza dough folded in half. There’s also pizza, pasta, and mac and cheese. The screens, including a large TV on the covered and heated patio, are always turned on to relevant games.

The Octopus Bar

ThisWallingford favoritemoved locations recently (just down the block), but retains its quirky nautical vibes in a convivial atmosphere. During the pandemic, it introduced a food operation called the Salty Shack, which serves satisfying sandwiches, salads, Seattle dogs, Frito pies, and a tater tot (or fries) chili bowl called a Chum Bucket.

College Inn Pub

ThisU District classicseemed to close for good in 2020, but recently got a revival from longtime fans Jen, Gonyer, her husband Al Donohue, and friend Seth Howard (owner of the Collins Pub and Last Drop Bottle Shop). The popular grinders are still on the menu, and there is a TV in each of the dive’s rustic rooms, with all the local games on throughout the season.

LTD Bar and Grill

Fremont’sfamily and pup-friendly sports baradvertises itself as both a Seahawks and Green Bay Packers venue — which sounds like a recipe for trouble. NFC rivalries aside, there are 15 TVs, boozy slushies, an outdoor patio that added some seating, and lots of bar game distractions on hand, make it a winner on game days.

Queen Anne Beerhall

Copy Link

This expansive,communal German beer hallin Queen Anne recently underwent an ownership change, which has reinvigorated the venue, while keeping the robust list of European and local beers. The well-crafted food menu includes choices like fried baby artichokes, oyster shooters, and bratwurst (plus Seahawks Sunday brunches), and any seat in the house is a good one to watch the giant screen showing big games.

The Goose Pub & Eatery

Step into thisunprepossessing doorin a Bellevue strip mall and you’ll be transported into another world, or maybe just the 1980s (which would explain the framed Kenny Easley jersey on the wall). This old-school sports dive has the kind of lived-in charm it takes bars decades to acquire, and plenty of pub games that can entertain you if the Seahawks contest turns into a blowout.

Trade Winds Tavern

Copy Link

After five years, Belltown’s award-winning gastropub No Anchor is no more — but the proprietors replaced itwith a retro sports bar. Here, one can sip on great well-crafted cocktails, such as a Rusty Nail with salted honey, and grab some brunch while watching the game. The decor includes old memorabilia from local teams.

Buckley's in Belltown

Copy Link

A tried-and-true sports hangout where food is a major feature: the Buffalo wings, meatloaf sliders, and hand-formed burgers are among the top choices. During the biggest games, best to get there as early as possible to scout seats. The other Buckley’s location in Queen Anne is a good backup.

Madison Pub

Thissports-focused gay barin Capitol Hill has a relaxed vibe, cool pinball machines, video games, and well-positioned TVs, which are always tuned to the local games (with sound). On Sundays, there’s free pool and peanuts, plus discounted pitchers.

Xtadium

Copy Link

This new nightclub near Lumen Field hosts regular dance parties, like a Latin music night on Thursdays, but also puts on events for most big games. There’s a full bar, and snacks like wings and sliders as well as quesadillas, burritos, and burgers. A DJ normally plays music during halftime, and you can reserve tables for various VIP experiences on game days.

Sluggers

Fans have been piling into this cheerfully cramped,memorabilia-filled baron their way to Mariners games for 25 years, and it’s a destination for anyone who wants to experience a bit of old Seattle. The massive, messy burgers are the perfect thing to gird your stomach for a long day of drinking in front of NFL games.

Rookies Sports Bar and Grill

Columbia City’sreliable jock spotserves solid bar bites (such as the Irish nachos, topped with beer cheese and shredded corned beef) and stiff drinks in a family-friendly setting, with reclaimed floors and a shuffleboard bar top. If things get too crowded, don’t forget about next-door neighbor,the Backyard, which has an outdoor patio and more food options.

The menu’s pub fare now includes tater tots poutine, flatbreads, spicy chicken waffle sandwiches, and some breakfast items, along with cocktails and beer.

The Westy

The Westyhas 18 TVs, a robust beer selection, and strong pub grub such as fried chicken and waffles, poutine, and cheesesteaks.
