Roam

"This sprawling “concept bar” took over the old Ballard Loft space in late 2024, and it has a little bit of everything. A playful front patio flows into a large back bar area, inviting passersby to wander in and stay for a while. Grab a drink from the full bar and enjoy the wall artwork and energy from the loft, or head over to the pool table for people-watching. All of the drinks and décor are designed to be fun and immersive with global inspiration. And to add entertainment (plus a touch of neighborhood controversy) to the mix, the bar has applied for an adult cabaret license." - Brianna Gunter

"Located in the former Ballard Loft space, Roam is a restaurant and bar that serves Italian small plates. There are also Seattle sports playing on the TVs and bar games happening. If you beat the staff at one of the bar games on Tuesdays, you’ll get half off your tab. " - kayla sager riley, aimee rizzo, gabe guarente
