Delicious fish and chips paired with excellent service and pleasant atmosphere make Macleod's a must-visit in Ballard
Basing this off of our 30-45 min stop there to drink some scotch. Our bartender was very helpful in picking our drinks and was fun to talk to. They have a massive selection of scotch to choose from. Has to be one of the more stocked selection of scotch on the west coast. The decor and layout of the bar was pretty cool. They also had a small upstairs for those that want to get away from the noise downstairs.
Aloha, the adorable town of Ballard is known for its Sunday farmer's market with over 200 vendors. We ventured there and at the mid-afternoon had lunch at Macleods. A cute corner pub with cool historic info on the walls. It was fun reading and recognizing peeps. Good beers complimented our lunch. The food was good but a little pricey for the size of the dishes. 2 small pieces of fish with fries was over $20+. Oh well. Enjoy!
Warm, cozy, dark ambiance. Stopped in before dinner elsewhere for some drinks. The nitro beer was smooth and creamy and the penicillin cocktail had a nice zing without it being too punchy, maybe the honey rounded out the ginger & lemon. Loved both drinks and the server was good too. I'd like to come back for sure and also get some food next time
Great whiskey tasting. I want to go for fish and chips soon, looks really tasty and a good happy hour price. Super fun vibe inside too.
