Velkommen to our Viking-inspired Beer Hall honoring the Nordic roots of Ballard

restaurant-bar-skal-beer-hall-seattle (1) copy.jpg

Skål (meaning “cheers”) invokes the spirit of a Viking mead hall - it’s warm, welcoming, & often raucous! Here you’ll find a rotating lineup of craft beer, a vast selection of mead, & a cocktail program highlighting the Scandinavian spirit, aquavit. Our Nordic inspired kitchen explores the flavors of the sea, woods, and farm with plates designed to pair with your drink. Plan a group celebration and be treated like a Jarl with one of our Viking feasts or attend one of our unique classes or events. Help us carry on the Nordic tradition in Ballard by coming for a visit!

Upcoming Events

We host a diverse lineup of community-focused events that are best enjoyed with a beer in hand.

Other events are inspired by our Nordic heritage, our love for the PNW, and our thirst for knowledge and fun!
