Absolutely love this place. One of a few places that have the Duchesse de Bourgogne available in bottles, which is one of the best beers I've ever had

Amazing beer selection and staff, more mature crowd compared to some of the other bars in Ballard.

Rick and Ellen bring in some of the best Belgium and PNW Microbrews on tap. No hard liquor isn't a bad thing I suppose..the Noble Fir is a friendly, mellow place for good convo and great beer!

Beers change often, always ask the bar tender if anything has changed as some beers have just been tapped and are not on the menu.

That nosh menu allows you to mix-and-match your own meats, fish, cheese and vegan options. Food writer Nancy Leson suggests paying the $2 surcharge for Wilson Fish's smoked wild salmon, it's worth it. Read more

Absolutely awesome place for appetizers (order a cheese/meat plate) and local/regional beers. Make it your first stop on a night out.

The library there is filled with travel books. It's a fun addition to the bar.
