Eat, Drink, &
Be Merry
Our open kitchen features dishes that explore wild flavors from the woods and sea. Imagine gathering near a roaring fire at the edge of a fjord. Here is where you’d find our food. There are traditional Nordic influences, sharable pub snacks, and a whole lot of meat and fish plates that celebrate the bounty of the PNW and the history of Ballard as a Norwegian fishing village.
