Location: Located in the South Lake Union neighborhood, near Amazon and Denny Park. The address is 1120 5th Ave, Seattle, WA 98101.
Atmosphere: Casual and lively atmosphere with an urban vibe. Lots of natural light and polished concrete floors give it an industrial chic feel. Gets busy during the evening and weekend brunch.
Food: Focuses on small plates and sharing plates that are globally inspired. Popular items include bruschetta, hummus, skewers, pizza, and salads. Good selection of craft cocktails, wine, and beer.
Service: Friendly and attentive servers. Can get a bit hectic when busy but they move quickly to take orders and deliver food and drinks.
Price: On the higher side for the neighborhood but typical of upgraded casual dining places in Seattle. Expect to spend $25-35 per person without drinks. Weekend brunch is pricier.
General Review: A trendy neighborhood hotspot that’s great for meeting friends, grabbing a bite before a show, or relaxing on the patio. Food is satisfying but not too unusual. Gets loud at peak times. Convenient South Lake Union location near workplaces and apartments.
In summary, Ba Bar offers a stylish ambiance and globally-influenced small plates in a central South Lake Union location, though prices are on the higher side. Good for casual dining and drinks with colleagues or friends in the neighborhood.
