The Cozy Nut Tavern

The atmosphere is cozy for sure, but the bartenders are super unfriendly. They don’t acknowledge you at all and barely look at you - male or female. We had a party of four and each person commented on how unfriendly ( this is the kindest word I can come up with) the bartender was - this was without prompting from others - that is how glaringing rude/ unfriendly the guy was. This was a Tuesday night, and it wasn’t busy yet. I expect this BS from bartenders on Capital Hill As we are over 40 but now Greenwood has this crap. So disappointing because we love the feel in there but the rudeness and dismissiveness isn’t worth it! Don’t bother. I would give the atmosphere a higher rating but the service ruined it!

The Cozy Nut is a hidden gem in Greenwood and it is quite cozy! This is one local bar that we always end up at. It's so inviting, and the staff is great each time we are in there. I'm so glad they survived after covid because we were worried there for a minute. Sip on delicious draft beer, wine, or perhaps a classic Manhattan which is my go to every time I go in there. The cozy ambiance makes it an ideal spot to unwind after a long day or to go on a date. Prices here are democratic, offering great value for what you receive. They also have an outdoor area in the back and animals are welcome.

This is a cozy place to be with great atmosphere. Mostly alcohol drinks, but they do make cocktails & tasty tart lemonade. Great for with friends or a date

Love this cozy bar. Great cocktails & drinks. Dog friendly & always a good time.

Hipster place with lots of dead animals stuffed and peppered about, some included in interesting scenes (see photo). We had a few after dinner drinks here, quiet around 7:30 on a Saturday night. Seemed like a local hang out with a few characters sitting at the bar.

The first time I went here (about two years ago) I got a cocktail off the menu and it was literally the worst drink I've ever had. I will usually finish a drink even if I don't like it, but this was undrinkable. I asked the bartender if he could adjust it and he was rude and unhelpful. I gave it a second try a year later. There was a different bartender and he made my experience much better. My partner and I started going semi-regularly to enjoy the cozy atmosphere. Flash forward to now. We had stopped going as regularly after an incident with a very drunk guy that bought us multiple unsolicited shots. My partner went with a group of friends and encounters the same rude bartender from years before. He made their experience miserable. This place is really cute, but it's not worth dealing with the horrible service.

Fun drinks and cozy atmosphere. Perfect place to curb the Seattle weather.

I didn't really notice whether they have food or not. I was meeting some friends here and was my first time even hearing about this place. What a fun place to meet for drinks. Not very big but set up to highlight the relationships around the table or at the bar. I got there a little early and ended up having a drink at the bar before my friends arrived . I always wonder how bartenders find a way to be so cordial to patrons as they come in. Although I asked his name I can't remember it but the bartender was excellent .

This is a super cute hidden gem. It was busy on a Friday night, with lots of people and conversation. The decor and lighting feels really cozy. The drinks are well priced and there are plenty of tables and booths to sit and play games or chat.

Unusual cozy bar just like the name. Few table seating in addition to the bar seating. The staff was very friendly. If you're looking for a bar with more locals than tourist, then this is the bar for you. The other restaurants/bars in the area are larger, but are more on the expensive side. The listing says pub type food, but definitely different type of pub food than normal. The majority of the food items I would consider snacks. On the menu was nuts and cheese plates. We had the cheese plate which the cheese was good, but the crackers we okay and honestly tasted a little stale.

A great, wood paneled neighborhood haunt. Not a dive - but a vibe. Private booths, a couple of tables and plenty of bar seating. Friendly bartenders, reasonable prices, and plenty of street and after hours lot parking close by. There's nothing not to love about this place.

Friendly bar tender, good taps, interesting vibe. Very woody and cozy. We did not try any food or cocktails.

love the atmosphere, Decoration & ambiance. their cocktails also best in settle. Super cool service also.. Great little Bar.

Cozy, neighborhood hideaway! Perfect for a rainy night in Seattle. They pour stiff drinks and the atmosphere dimly lit and is perfect for an after dinner drink with a special someone.

You may be surprised to learn that the Nut serves the best charcuterie plate in town. It's abundant, with high quality ingredients. No filler. We have continued to visit whenever we are in the area, and this substantial goodie is a primary draw. Along with all the other awesomeness described in my earlier review.

Well, the bar is very cozy and the ambience is fantastic. The bartender who served us was an absolute tool. He greeted us with judging eyes and hardly checked in on us. Very dismissive, and clearly only cared about the patrons at the end of the bar. For somebody who probably needs tips, he sure did not act like it. We will not be back.

Was staying in the neighborhood and meeting up with a friend for dinner nearby. We wanted to go out for drinks after and discovered this cute spot on yelp! We were glad we decided to check it out. Was so cozy and quirky just like the name suggests. They have a great selection of drinks which are fairly priced too. I had a delicious cocktail, which was purple. I believe it was the Empresses Nebula. I would definitely come back here. Would make a cute date night spot! They also serve food but didn't try it this time.

First time at the Cozy Nut a couple weeks ago for a friend's birthday. Dimly lit, a little divey, with fun and festive taxidermy (is that a normal phrase?) adorning the walls. We were able to grab a couple adjacent tables by the front window to accommodate our small group. Cozy booths line the wall across from the bar. Bathrooms were clean enough. Bartender was all business but made a good manhattan. The vegetarian platter (Dolmas, Hummus, Roasted Tomatoes, an abundance of grapes, an impossible quantity of cornichons, olives, nuts, and your choice of Chevré or Coastal Cheddar) had a great assortment and helped keep the party going. We called ahead to ask and they were nice enough to allow us to bring in our own birthday cupcakes as well.

This place is awesome! Come in. Relax. Grab a drink and just enjoy the ride at the cozy nut. The drinks are strong and well made and I couldn't find a problem with the prices.

I'm biased as a regular since Day One but still this is a terrific bar and one my absolute Seattle favorites. I love the guys running the joint and the beer rotation is fantastic even four years on. I also recommend the cocktails, in particular the Boulvardier. The guys built this place from the ground up and the craftsmanship alone is worth seeing. See if you can find the hidden "eyeballs"! Food: It's mostly bar snacks like cured meats and cheeses but I find it sufficient for snacking when drinking. Also: corn nuts!

The cocktails went down too well. They were handcrafted and sublime. Food menu is limited, but perfect for snacking. I got a hot dog and it was damn good.

Was so excited to go to this place! We arrived with a small group and the bar was mostly empty but each table for 6 had one or two people. Not a problem, we grab a drink and wait for the people with mostly empty drinks to leave. But then the bartender kept asking us "but where are you going to sit?" Never directly told us that we couldn't stand but wouldn't take our order and kept kinda laughing at us. Finally we gave up and left. If you are going to have rules about needing to sit at your bar, be clear. State your rules and don't be a rude.

Used to love this spot - quirky decor and solid tap list. However came tonight to drop in for a quick drink and encountered the craziest bar tender. Super combative and not stable, lol He got super aggressive after I asked if they had iced tea and loudly mocked a group of gals for ordering lemon drops, "who even orders a lemon drop!?!?!?!!?". He then proceeded to brag to his friends about assaulting a woman at a party, "I punched that dumb bitch in the face" - yikes Do yourself a favor and skip this spot. There are plenty of other spots to drink in this town that don't serve the sh*t attitude.

We stopped in and the kitchen was closed, so that was a bummer. The place was nice, great dive bar vibe. The bartender was awful. It wasn't busy but we had a difficult time getting service. We weren't ordering anything complicated either, booze on the rocks. I'll give the place another shot since they have vegan food when the kitchen is open but I won't be in a hurry for my return trip.

The place for interesting conversations or just hang out and enjoy the surroundings-either way, you can't go wrong!

Now that the little jerks behind the bar are gone, this place has returned to being a friendly neighborhood spot with great ambiance, good drinks, and coziness all around! Thank goodness!

A great spot for a drink or just to chill and relax. Cool cozy vibe when you walk in. There is a huge glass frame right when you walks in. They put cute decoration of dead or fake animal in them. Like Alice in Wonderland theme. It is very unique, not to mention they do have a cute fox on one of their glass frame as well. I came here because my friend want to grab a drink and it was on a Sunday, I didn't feel like traveling far. So we end up here after looking at locals bar around where I live. This spot came up, we decided to give them a visit! We didn't drink much or anything when we were there. We just grab a drink and we chatted for hours. We will be back next time and try their specialty cocktails. Not to mention, that their cash register was a one of the retro design. It was awesome. Overall, a great bar to hang out at and have a drink or two.

Indeed, a cozy place to come for drinks. We were here on a Saturday around 7 PM before a show at the Taproot Theater across the street, and it wasn't crowded at all. I liked the chill ambiance, but the drinks we tried were too strong for me! I like my drinks more on the sweet, fruity side. Planters Punch $10 Blackberry Bootlegger $10

I went on Sunday Oct 30th for their Halloween market event. All the vendors were amazingly sweet & had a variety of art to choose from. Had a cosmo at the bar as well and it was delicious (only paid $15 for 2 drinks). The bartenders were attentive. Loved the decorations for Halloween paired with the cozy look of the interior w/low lighting, I'd recommend this place

Vegan Friendly. Many vegan options with a mix and match a la cart style platter. Good drinks, too!

There's a million reasons to check out this bar - if you're chill, understand the bar industry, and want to experience a cool vibe Seattle seriously lacks these days. Always good music, great company, and everyone around is always having a great time. Most importantly, I feel SO safe here. All of the bartenders are always keeping tabs on the environment and protecting the patrons. Favorite bar for sure.

Cozy little spot full of cultish and pagan imagery. Ranging from All seeing eyes hidden around the bar, -even one of the taps contains an simplified pyramid and eye, to the anthropomorphic goats holding illuminating lanterns away from light and into the darkness. Its kind of like a where's waldo for that sort of thing. Can you spot the eye of Ra? Can you see that pyramid with the eye in it under the laminate on one of the table tops? Spooky town. Asked the bartender about it and he just said "what do you mean?" I was like, "whats up with this all seeing eye over here? the one on the tap? Is the owner into like, that ancient religion stuff?" He just looked at me blankly. I think the owner thought it would be like and inside thing and no one would notice or something, but accidentally went over the top with it since its like, all over. anyway, the beer is mildly expensive but local. the service is slow but thats seattle nowadays. 3 stars. oddly felt like I needed to go to church after i left. Havent been in 15 years.

Always a great time. Drinks are fairly priced and the bartenders make great cocktails. The name pretty much describes this place and not really a place where you come to watch sports or anything. Nice intimate and cozy place to bring a date or come with friends. Paul is the best.

Bartenders need education on acceptable ID. I came here last night and tried to order a diet coke. Was asked for ID and I handed over my Canadian (Ontario) driver's license. Was told by the bartender he couldn't accept it and I had to provide my passport or a US ID or leave. He said it was the law. I wasn't carrying my passport, so I left... It seemed odd because I've never had issues anywhere else in Seattle, so I decided to verify what he said. He was wrong. The Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board allows Canadian driver's licenses to be used as an acceptable form of ID. https://lcb.wa.gov/enforcement/acceptable-identification I was looking forward to this place, but after coming all the way from SLU and getting turned away, I have zero desire to come back.

Just the best! Dark, mysterious, good strong drinks, 1/4 the customers look like they've been sitting there since 1974 and the rest exude reckless abandon.

This bar is amazing. Cocktails are fire. (Try the empresses nebula) The staff is fantastic. The bar is cute af. Has amazing murals. Clean and smells lovely. Anyone who says otherwise is provably an idiot who walks into a bar after the lights are off and only cares about themself. Check this place out. I promise you will fall in love.

Ugh. Walked in an hour before their listed closing time, politely asked if they were open and they responded by shutting the lights off and some dude jumped off a stool from the bar(is that allowed? I thought bar seating wasn't allowed at the moment?) and he snipped that "don't you see the lights are off? " so rude. Place looked dirty and smelled foul. Will never go back. Do not give this rude place your business. They don't deserve to survive.

This place is cozy for sure! Paul is amazing! I know he works Tuesday. He is very friendly and well attentive and hospital. The meat and cheese are amazing and plenty of kool stuff to see here. The bar table tops are repurposed wood from old telephone poles! Nice touch! This is definitely a must check out here in greenwood.

Super cute little cozy tavern! The name really does describe it well :) Wish this place had been around when I used to live in this neighborhood. Service can be incredibly slow & you will probably have to go up to the bar to get served. Not sure if it's different, if you are one of their "regulars", but as "newbies" that was our experience.

I Love this place! I work next door and I've been watching the build out of the bar over the last few months. The finished product is great! One of the owners is a wood worker and a boat builder so you can see the attention to detail. You would assume that this place had been here for a long long time based on how settled it looks in here. But it's brand new! The people are kind and the selection is great. Check out the animals at the entrance!

When there is a very drunk guy, who can barely speak, and keeps harassing the other customers, could you please ask him to leave, or something. Just do something. ANYTHING! Gave you 4 stars because other than that, you guys are great.

My partner and I were staying in the neighborhood from out of town. We stumbled across this lovely bar. It's a great spot for a low key drink. Great tunes playing in the background and no TVs. Wonderful staff as well. They require that you show proof of vaccination upon entry. Safe and friendly, great food as well.

Is this a small logging town bar circa 1982? Greenwood meets twin peaks. Great list of craft cocktails and very good beers on tap. Taxidermy displays at their best! Duck rillette please.

What a great little bar! The ambiance is indeed "cozy" and woodland themed. It's a bit hard to see from the street, but there's plenty of parking around. I wish they had a little bit more in the way of option for beer on tap. I also tried the cider on tap, thinking it would be craft- but it was not. I wish I had explored the bottle selection of the beers and ciders more carefully- but then again I usually prefer tap over bottles any day.

Yes. Cozy indeed. A good place to get a booth and chat with friends.

Super cozy! Super friendly! Yummy snacks great beer! Totally our new go to hang out! Love it!

Dog friendly? Check. Excellent cocktails? Yup. Good beer list? Indeed. Friendly staff? You betcha! They check your vaccine cards upon entry, you wear a mask when not seated, and I have no complaints. If you're not willing to take measures to protect yourself and others, you don't get to play nice in public. I look forward to supporting this place in the future, perhaps even becoming a regular. Heck, the bartender recognized my dog from my Instagram profile, which only solidified the positive vibes I was picking up.

I came here on a random Friday night. Finding parking was easy and the place was surprisingly not packed. I could actually hear my friends and we were able to have a conversation. I liked the selection of beers on tap and ordered a sour.

Wonderful Friday night. My wife and I enjoyed the food, me the beers she the wonderful wine. We talked, connected. Cozy Nut allowed this. Music soft, no tv in the background. Just people conversing, enjoying their companions. Perfect name for a cozy Friday night out with my love. Thanks gentlemen for the food and beer suggestions. Cozy Nut allows one to enjoy their quality food, beer, wine and opportunity to Be With My Love. Lovely evening.

loved everything!! The plates are a bit small so are definitely more of a snack. Great cocktails though!

Great beer, drinks, snacks and vibe. Lives up to its name, very cozy and a great spot to have a few beers with some friends and hang out. The booths are especially great as they give your table a lot of privacy and a very warm vibe. The taxidermy is a great touch too and gives the bar a very distinct identity.

Five stars when I order and receive food. Because we didn't receive a food menu or any idea there was food until a regular ordered: 4 stars. Ambience: 5 stars. Music: 5 stars because I am old and have many of the tunes on my USB drive. Drinks: 5 stars because they don't stint. Bar stool instant companions for convivial conversation: 5 stars.

Well, I was in a quandary. Whenever I am in Greenwood I love going to one of my favorite breweries, The Flying Bike Cooperative Brewery but I walked past this place while window shopping and actually shopping and as the name states...it was just too cozy to bookmark and come back for later. So instead of getting two beers at the brewery I went there and just got one. With the full intent of coming back to Cozy Nut. When I went back I saw a very interesting and of course quirky diorama at the entrance of a camp scene made of moss and wood with figures with a big stuffed mountain sheep(I think) lording over the camping participants. Of course the goat had vines in his horns. All a very Pan scenario. It was beyond adorable! The tavern was not just a tease from the outside window. It actually was very warm, cozy and welcoming. I got a fine Pear Cider and just kicked back and relaxed and absorbed the atmosphere. It was delightful! I will definitely be making a return trip with Steven in the near future! The Cozy Nut is an adorable place!

I went here on rainy night it was just what I needed to imbibe and relax. Wonderful addition to Greenwood. Nice tap selection! Tiny dishes of nuts! Awesome service! Fun place to look at decor! Exclamation points are necessary for this place!

A weird setting in the best way. This place is a little slice of the Shire, set in Greenwood. The ambiance says village English pub to me (having never been to England, so) but the details have a lot of local flavor, from the cute forest dioramas to the jackalope over the fridge. And the knob and tube wiring in rafters over the bar is very Greenwood to me. The house drinks are fantastic. I traipsed around the menu a bit but my partner stuck with the Blackberry Bootlegger - an amazing blackberry Old Fashioned. They pour drinks generously, but well. The Cozy Nut had a casked cocktail when I was there, a Yellow Martinez which is if I remember right a Martini derivative with Yellow Chartreuse, and was amazing. This place is cozy like a winter den, with a back bar, menu, and bartenders straight out of a speakeasy. Service is... slow is the wrong word, it's leisurely. Which just contributes to the overall setting. It's a setting you may not always want, but when you do, make a night of it.
