Heavy metal dive bar

This is an awesome vegan dive bar. Everything is house made and all vegan. If you're in tgr mood to check out some local metal music and grab a bite to eat then go in the evening.

Pros: Everything house made , Great patio overlooking downtown

Cons: Upstairs on second floor

Best bar in Capitol Hill!

We LOVE Highline! It’s a short walk from the light rail station and Plum Bistro, and we usually head over for cocktails after dinner. They have creative signature cocktails and a great menu. Our favorites are the tacos and jalapeño margaritas!

Pros: Walking distance from light rail station , Creative cocktails , Quick service

I gave it about 5 chances

I have gone here only about 8-9 times in the past 8 years. 5 of those times have been in the last few months since the pandemic. Right before everything hit, I had the burger and was very happy. I have ordered everything and every time I love it. Now I am lost as to what my hesitation was. I hope this place thrives through the pandemic. Okay, I am going there tonight for takeout.

Maybe I didn't like the low bar stools.

Pros: Portions, Quality of Food, music

Cons: My plastic takeout sauce container always melts, low barstools, music

I love the Highline bar

Whenever I know I’m going to Seattle I make sure that I make time to visit the Highline. Their food is so good, and I’ve even played shows at this bar. Overall such a cool place... did I mention how good the food was?! It will not disappoint.

Vegan metal dive bar!

This place has a fantastic 90s dive bar vibe, with the food to match. Everything is delightfully greasy and flavorful. Portions are huge and I always leave stuffed. I’ve tried most of the menu and my favorites are the fried pickles, ACAB tacos, and the bell toll. Also can’t forget their potato salad and spicy drinks! Staff is friendly and it has a great community vibe in here.

Still thinking about this spot

Punk bar serving vegan comfort food, e.g. Reubens, one of our faves. Dark interior because it is a bar.

Visited Fall 2018 when we were frequenters to Seattle for client project.

Food only tasted like fat, unfriendly atmosphere

I had the pickle sticks and the fish and chips. The fried pickles honestly were the worst vegan food I ever ate in a restaurant. The fish and chips were just very fatty. Afterwards I only had the taste of fat in my mouth and got belly cramps. The staff was very grumpy and the place is very dark. It is a metal bar, so expect a matching vibe. I would same come here for drinks and music but not for the food!

Pros: It's a vegan bar

Cons: Tasted horrible, Got belly cramps, Grumpy barman

Laid back and delicious

The employees were very nice, the food came out rather quick, and it was delicious. I also enjoyed that they used eco-friendly to-go containers.

Hail Satan (fingers)

A fantastic little bar in Capitol Hill. Friendly bar tender and amazing pub style food. I ordered both the quesadillas and Satan fingers. Only complaint is that the mixed drinks, while they tasted good, were weak and small for the price.

The evening I showed up there was even a film viewing organized by the Sea Shepherds Seattle chapter. The Highline hosted them for free.

Pros: Great food, Great events

Cons: Mixed drinks aren't the best value

Dope atmosphere and great grub

I don’t know if I’ve ever been in a vegan bar with such a hardcore aesthetic. It works on so many levels. The staff is super friendly, the menu has options for all taste buds. Ordered the “pig destroyer” and the “satan fingers”. Both were delicious and filling. They have a ton of beer options.

Pros: Great staff , Delicious food, Cool atmosphere

Awesome Seattle Vibes

Food and drinks are wonderful and the bartender is always nice. The inside of the building has a uniquely Seattle grunge vibe and a small outside seating area. It’s never been too loud either compared to some of the other bars. I would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a cool Seattle experience with good vegan food, music and beer.

Pros: Unique Atmosphere , Great Food, Well priced

Cons: Smaller space

Very divey bar, hearty transition fare

Great food if you like to veganize traditionally meat dishes. Really rich, creamy, aioli-heavy, think classic "new to the veganism, still transitioning, can't believe it's vegan" meals. Very umami, hearty dishes. I've tried a couple of their sandwiches, both were very tasty. They housemake seitan and also offer plant-forward options like portobello caps for people who aren't interested in meat substitutes. I will note that this place can be very loud, dirty, and smoky, so if you don't like a dive bar, it might not be for you. Love that the patio overlooks the street, lots of drink options both alcoholic and non.

Pros: Big portions, Very umami, rich, and hearty, The whole menu is vegan

Cons: Smoky, Noisy, Maybe heavy on the transition food

Awesome food!

Similar to Black Water in PDX, great bar food. All vegan, which is a plus. Fried pickles and satan fingers were extra tasty. I felt at home.

Pros: All vegan

Cons: None

Excellent food, beer, and vibe (if you’re into that kinda thing)

I love places like this. It’s basically a bar with awesome pub food. Plus, they had some great live music (punk - hell yeah!). Bear in mind, I went in after 9:30pm, so there probably isn’t always live music going on. I’m sure you could have a more relaxed vibe at an earlier time of day if that’s what your going for. The Reuben and the quesadilla are definitely worth getting. Unfortunately, their fryer was down when i went, but I’ll be back here again soon to try those famous Satan’s Fingers.

Pro tip - order at the bar and sit wherever. Bus your own table.

Pros: Great atmosphere, Very good food

Cons: Fryer was down - meh

The entire menu is vegan. We tried 2 different sandwiches and they were just amazing! Wonderful place! Even though the waiters could be a little bit nicer.

Pros: Lots of vegan dishes.

The Seattle experience

Fresh hot vegan food until 11pm. Poutine fries with gluten free gravy with a Mental show playing in the background. This is why I love Seattle.

4 stars

loved this place when i first came 2 years ago when visiting seattle. love the food and beers, affordable and love the metal references. unfortunately there was a gig happening that we didn’t know about when we revisited, told the staff at the door that we were only here for the food and drinks and didn’t think they were happy about it. had to sit through really loud live music which i’m usually cool with but just wasn’t expecting this time round. food was still great.

Pros: great, affordable vegan junk food, metal, craft beer

Cons: unpleasant dining if there’s a live gig happening

Loved This Place!

You won't find any other vegan pub like this - the atmosphere is one of a kind, + everyone is very friendly. The homemade Citizen Fish + Pig Destroyer were the greatest sandwiches we've ever had! Highly, highly recommended.

Pros: Insanely good food!, Large menu, Friendly staff

Best Vegan Bar Food to ever exist.

I’ve eaten every item on the menu. If you go and don’t like something, try something else. I personally think you can’t go wrong with any of the sandwiches, my favorite being the Bell Toll, a vegan french dip. The reason Highline rates so high on my list is everything is house-made! They make their own burgers, “fish”, Seitan, cheese.. you name it! If I wanted to eat a beyond burger, field roast burger, BOCA, gardien, etc.. I’d cook my food at home. If you are lucky enough to go when there is a special, get it! The specials are always outrageous. The drinks are ALL good, they infuse a lot of their own booze, so try one of their cocktails on their menu list, the jalapeño Tequila or strawberry Tequila are my favorites. If you wanna chat with friends, check their calendar, this is a music venue and often after 9pm will have loud music and you won’t be able to chat with table mates. If you wanna go for a very fun night, check out Monday’s ‘[censored] Yeah Bingo’ good ol Bar-Bingo every Monday night from 7-9pm. This isn’t health-food, it’s just vegan-Bar-Food and it’s AMAZING. Everyone who works here is super nice, just because they don’t smile, doesn’t mean they are in a bad mood, so don’t write negative reviews about them. They aren’t trying to have a fine-dining experience, they stick to what they are good at and what they know, how to have a rad venue, how to make stiff drinks and how to make some of the best vegan bar food to ever exist. GO HERE. GO OFTEN.

Pros: House-made vegan meats, Stiff drinks, house-infused-booze, good cider! , Large space

Cons: Food ends at 11p, They don’t open till 5p, They don’t have a special everyday

Best seitan reuben I've ever had

The fries weren't anything to write home about but the Reuben here is so so good. I wish I had ordered some appetizers.
