Pinehurst Pub — Restaurant in Seattle

my boyfriend and i went out for some drinks. when i initially ordered a drink, i complimented the blonde bartender’s skeleton shirt and she practically rolled her eyes at me. at the end of the night, when the tab seemed high (like $20 a drink high) and we asked the blonde bartender about it, she said “i’m sober, i’m good at my job, i know what it i’m doing” in the most snotty, bratty, shouldn’t-work-in-customer-service voice i’ve heard in awhile. we weren’t questioning her ability to do her job, just wanted to see the breakdown of the tab so we understood. we paid the tab in full. to be clear, i NEVER raised my voice or spoke to her rudely. i went to my car and realized there was a jeep parked behind me, so i went back in to request that the owner move the jeep. the bartender then berated me again for asking about my tab earlier, repeating that she was good at her job and i shouldn’t question her. i stayed completely calm and explained the (already paid) tab wasn’t a problem, i just wanted to get my car out. the bartender and a random patron (who had 0 context of the situation, just a nosy lady) raised their voices at me, treated me like a piece of sht, and were extremely hostile even though i was talking in a normal tone and trying to be civil so as not to escalate the situation. based on how they were talking to me, bystanders probably thought i did something bananas. i couldn’t get a word in edgewise, just two people yelling at me for no good reason. they were saying i needed to leave the bar; while again, i was trying to leave, just trying to get out of my blocked parking space. definitely don’t drink here if you want a bartender who is cool and won’t sht on you for the tiniest thing. she made a mountain out of a teeny tiny molehill, since when is it rude to want to see your receipt? would be a cool spot if it wasn’t for the entitled staff and...

Me and my best friend went out for a girl's night and just wanted to go somewhere close to her house and this bar was very close to her and it has a nice neighborhood feel with friendly people nice bar staff and amazing food we got a beef au jus with fries! And it was really good I usually don't like bar food that much but this sandwich was incredible and we met some new friends and just had a good time if you want to go somewhere fun with a good neighborhood feel to it where people are friendly and it has great food and atmosphere as well as a couple of pool tables and outside seating this is a great place to go! It's not super fancy but it's not a dive either it's just a comfortable neighborhood bar where you can go and have fun and be relax and enjoy your night! I suggest checking it out it's definitely worth it and the food was great I can't say that enough I was really surprised how good that beef au jus sandwich was it was big with lots of beef and had plenty of provolone cheese and great dipping sauce with a big side of fries on it it was really really good! So go have a good time with your friends it's not just a weekend bar you can go during the week too if you just want to stop by a friendly place after work to unwind or if you want to go on the weekend to have fun and meet people and play pool or eat oh, this is your place!

The Pine is a legendary 'Dive bar' in Northgate.

This area is surrounded by so many wonderful bars in the adjacent neighborhoods and those are all fun too...

However my adventures always seem to begin and end at this wonderful place I happily call a home away from home.

The bar staff is kind and personable, Elly, Evan & Taylor are standouts, clearly the best bartending team in North Seattle! You know you'll always be greeted with a smile and a good drink.

Patrons here are relaxed, lots of local retired folks. Feel like that contributes to a very comfortable and relaxed vibe to bask in. Lots of jokes and banter to be enjoyed.

Weekly trivia and karaoke nights to spice things up.

The kitchen is always staffed with great cooks, the menu might be a bit limited these days (breakfast is only weekend mornings now) but the food is always made with love and has that pub / greasy spoon aesthetic that you want in a place like this.

If you've ever skipped on this bar - think twice and come back. It's a...
