Radiator Whiskey

Drinks are fire and the staff is so friendly and thoughtful. You really can’t go wrong here! Perfect for a casual hang with friends or a date - this is the spot to go. Be sure to take advantage of their happy hour deals! Good vibes, great pours..enjoy! I’ll definitely be back :) cheers!

A great addition to Ballard! Love the corn bread so much.

What a great new place! Bartender was friendly, engaging, and shared some suggestions on new booze to taste. The food was delicious too. Enjoyed the vibe a lot.

A-MAZING whiskey selection! 3 different varieties of Blanton's, &10yr, 12yr, 13yr, 15yr, 20yr, & 23yr Pappy Van Winkle! Hush puppies were on point 🤌

Come for the drinks, but don't waste your money on the food. The cocktails have a ton of variety when it comes to base liquer and there's a great selection of whiskey if you want to focus on that. I appreciated that non-alcoholic cocktail options started at $12. The food is incredibly over salted. My tongue was burning. I ordered the steak frites, which the kitchen only makes medium rare. It came medium to well done. There was barely any pink.

amazing! We tried this out during Restaurant week, but we will definitely be back again and again! Loved the burnt ends, loved the rad bowl. It’s the one with the tater tots mac & cheese, and pulled pork. Can’t miss that. Can’t wait to come back!

This is now one of my favorite bars in Ballard. The food and drinks are delicious and there is always good service. No complaints.

As a non-whiskey drinker, I can’t tell what drew me to this place. I spotted it while walking around the farmers market and saw their brunch sign. Ordered the breakfast sandwich and setting sun (black tea, makers mark, lemon) per the bartenders rec. Both were so good! The sandwich was filling- no sides were needed. Thick sausage patty (almost like a hamburger) + 2 fried eggs. Even as someone who doesn’t like whiskey, the setting sun was really good!

Friendly staff. Came for HH. Ordered the brisket dip and Swiss mushroom burger $12 each for HH price. Added a salad for $2. Salad portion was huge and brisket dip was good portion size. I only ate half and it was delicious. BF said burger was good and also decent size. Dip sauce was a tad salty for my taste and burger was a bit too smoky for BF. That said, still delicious. We got seated right away and place was not yet full but by the time we finished- all the tables were filled. It's a place we we come again!

Came here before the Ballard cocktail trail. The long restaurant has a decent amount of seating, but on a Friday or Saturday I would recommend reservations. We came for the happy hour and it was great. The Sazerac was affordable and tasty. The best part was the Brisket dip sandwich. The bread had just the right amount of bite and the meat was pull apart tender. The highlight was the au jus to dip in. That was amazing. Cant wait to visit again.

Terrible service! Get your "muscular" waiters larger tshirts. They kept pulling their shirts down. They were pushy and not friendly. The place was empty and they took our menus away as if this was an opportunity to give someone a menu on the side. Food and drinks were boring. Our biggest issue was service and it messed us up.

Great spot in Ballard to grab a hearty bite on a chilly night! Amazing selection of whiskeys, yummy food (try the French dip!) great staff and a cozy atmosphere all come together to make a solid experience.

Great addition to the neighborhood from one of my all time faves from Pike Place Market. Radiator Whiskey's second location will feel familiar with the whisky barrel, menu, and even the team (hello Crista!), but they have some food and cocktails unique to the location, e.g. slushies anyone? I always start off with a barrel aged cocktail and their barrel aged Manhattan with a Whistle Pig base was awesome. As a lover of the Brooklyn, I loved the China Girl- David Bowie - Michters rye, china china, fino sherry, barrel aged montenegro, and orange bitters. The China China was a perfect sub for the amer picon. I also tried the hush puppies as these are not available at the Pike Place location, and the order of 5 was enough for a meal. Half of the menu is different from pike place so I look forward to trying the other items as well. Service is inviting and professional, and I will be back soon and often!

Great Drinks! Great service! Smoked maple is great, the maple helps balance out the smoke.

This spot doesn't have much for vegans but they have stuff to eat for vegans! The staff are awesome, super helpful with the whiskey menu, very knowledgeable, as one would expect. The prices are in line with other spots in the area. The place is pretty big, plenty of table seating and bar seating. My spouse and I had a great time. She enjoyed the non-alcoholic drinks while I enjoyed the whiskey menu. We will definitely be back when we are in the area next.

This place was much better than I was expecting it to be! I came here on a winter Thursday as a party of 5 to celebrate a birthday. I got to taste 5 wonderfully complex, mostly dark adult-flavored cocktails (along with a really special margarita) and got to sample 5 delicious mains and apps. And I have to tell you - there's a lot of care put into all the pieces of the experience here. The side salad was delicious, the fries were hand cut and perfect. The mushroom swiss burger with yummy aioli was on point. Burnt ends were rich and flavorful. And the free dessert we got - fried bread pudding - was even adored by the member of our party who doesn't like dessert. It tasted like churros, was unique, lived up to the hype and didn't taste overly fried. Our waiter, Chris, who also leads the beverage program here, was also just so lovely. He went out of his way to make the evening special, took great care of us and made it a lovely evening. The qtnosphere is nice for a late night drink but also wonderfully accommodated a celebration, with dark features, bright lights and the classic giant Radiator Whiskey prohibition-like moving door from Pike Place you know and love. Most restaurants do one thing well - I was impressed at the thought that had been given to all components of the experience here. It is worth a visit for meal, a drink, or ideally both - a new classic in Ballard.

Great place to have a drink and meal. We came here for a drink but couldn't resist the menu. The pork sandwich, salad, hush puppies and brussel sprouts were top notch. We were pleasantly surprised and enjoyed everything about this place. Highly recommend- be sure to try a house made cocktail. Delicious.

Great cocktails, cozy spot, yummy food! Great place to watch a game too! Thoroughly enjoyed!

One of the best Happy Hours! The food is great and the staff is really friendly. It's especially great that you can make a reservation as we had a party of six and were able to get right in and seated.

I came here with a friend and we'd never been to the Ballard location. But it was a slower night during the week and the staff could not have been more friendly. From jokes to special cocktails to free food, there are many reasons to come here. Enjoy the second location!

Amazing cocktails! Great service! Made me a delicious gin cocktail-I know, it's a whiskey bar but they have other great stuff. And get the tots!

We've loved their original location and this place, we could bring our kids, so we went. Our expectation was pretty high.... food was ok. I don't know. Maybe we expected too much. We'll try again though.

My family & I went for brunch. This is a wonderful southern food brunch experience. The location is clean & modern with old whiskey shop vibes. The grilled peach Bellinis were bomb. The shrimp and grits were so well seasoned. Totally recommend

Wow. We had a GREAT dinner at Radiator! The food was delicious, staff were gracious and attentive and the drinks were incredible. I have to give a BIG shoutout to Jess and Chris! Last but not least: the bread pudding CHANGED MY LIFE. Finally: there are 5 pokéstops. 10/10 would recommend!!

Great bourbon selection and BBQ. Love their bone marrow and burnt ends. They have an amazing happy hour too
