Georgetown Liquor Company

"The pandemic almost claimed this Georgetown vegan and vegetarian bar, but former Highline co-owner Alan Threewit revived it with an all-vegan menu. Separating it from other vegan spots is that the team here makes all of their faux meats, cheeses, and sauces. Diners rave about the Reuben and French dip but you should also order the cauliflower wings, which not every place can get right." - Sean Keeley, Eater Staff

"If you ever fear that Seattle is losing its edge, head to Georgetown Liquor Company for a drink. The dive bar near a set of railroad tracks has cool artwork dedicated to the likes of The Ramones and Lemmy from Motorhead, and blasts power chord-heavy music whether it's Saturday night or noon on a Sunday. There are great cocktails and decent vegan tweaks on bar food made in house, like the chunky cauliflower buffalo wings that have a nice kick. Though seitan-heavy sandwiches like the french dip won't convert hardcore roast beef fans, this is still a good spot for a solo late-night hang when you’re exhausted from sticking it to The Man all day." - aimee rizzo, gabe guarente

"If you ever fear that Seattle is losing its punk edge, dust off the spiked leather and head to Georgetown Liquor Company for a drink. The dive bar near a set of railroad tracks has cool artwork dedicated to the likes of The Ramones and Lemmy from Motorhead, and blasts loud power chord-heavy music whether it's Saturday night or noon on a Sunday. The reverb and rattle from a passing freight train makes your spicy Bloody Mary a little unsteady, but it all adds to the gritty mood. You'll find decent vegan tweaks on typical bar food made in house, like the chunky cauliflower buffalo wings that are sauced well and have a nice kick. Though seitan-heavy sandwiches like the french dip won't convert hardcore roast beef fans, this is still a good spot for a solo late-night hang when you’re exhausted from sticking it to The Man all day." - Gabe Guarente

"That one friend you know who owns a Sega Genesis is really getting sick of you showing up unannounced to play Mortal Kombat and eat all their Bugles. How to fix that: go to Georgetown Liquor Company, a musty dive bar with few redeeming qualities other than its three old-school consoles and massive library of game cartridges. Grab an on-tap sour beer and some vegetarian pub food, and rediscover how hard Donkey Kong Country actually is." - aimee rizzo

"The longtime vegetarian-friendly bar recently got a revival from Alan Threewit, co-owner of Capitol Hill’s heavy metal-influenced den Highline. Threewit gave the place a refresh, and an all vegan menu, with alternate protein takes on pulled pork, reubens, and French dips. There are plenty of cocktails as well, including a white Russian with lavender-infused vodka and soy milk." - Dylan Joffe, Gabe Guarente
