We are a 21+ restaurant and bar. Founded in 2018 by Joel and Matthew and purchased in late 2022 by Becky and Jon, the vision remains the same: Old English pub vibes, high quality food.

We loved The Shambles from the minute we walked in and now we continue the heritage of what was created before us. On the food side: high quality steaks, cut in house. Cooks who have the freedom to create seasonal dishes ranging from foraged mushrooms to house made sausages. To go with your meal, we offer skillfully made, non-fussy cocktails, carefully selected wines, a plethora of beers, sours, and ciders on tap and a a robust non alcoholic selection. We top it all off with warm and knowledgeable service. At the Shambles, you can join us for a lovely date night, get together with friends OR choose to sit at the bar and get an ear full of cheesy jokes and unfiltered chatter We are serious about our service from top to bottom and we can’t wait to serve you!

    Absolutely fantastic meal. It’s been awhile since we visited, and they’ve only refined the overall experience since then. Only small complaint is that I got a glass of wine that tasted off, but our server was understanding about it and took it off the bill. Looking forward to going back!

    Great food and great people as always! Some of the best food in North Seattle in a completely comfortable and unpretentious setting. It was the perfect spot for a relaxing and delicious dinner to celebrate my partner’s birthday, and the super friendly service and great drinks were the cherry on top. Highly recommend for anything from a casual evening out to a special occasion!

    Wonderful meal - we had Steak Tartare, Caesar Salad, Crushed Potatoes, and a 10 oz Ribeye. Everything was fantastically flavorful and plated beautifully. The service was excellent and the food arrived in an appropriate amount of time - which is to say quickly, but slowly enough to ensure you know everything is made fresh to order. Great experience!

    One of the best meals I’ve ever had. Everything was perfectly seasoned. I’m not sold on the communal seating, but the food was definitely worth going back for. The service was amazing considering it was a full house on NYE.

    Great spot for a great cut of steak – the folks working there made it fairly easy to pick between all the excellent choices on the board. Cocktails and ambiance were great too. Nice space but still casual and easy going. On their website they say they are "notably unpretentious and notoriously delicious" and I would heartily agree.

    I took my boyfriend to The Shambles for his birthday dinner. We loved that it's kind of an upscale restaurant with a cozy feeling. The ambiance is great. Our server helped us with our steak selection and both of our cuts were delicious. We ordered the bread and pickle plates to start. The bread was good, but I wish the butter had been a bit warmer so we could spread it. The pickle plate wasn't quite what I was expecting- A mix of turnips, carrots, fennel, sweet peppers, and cauliflower - These items weren't listed on the menu, otherwise we would've ordered something different. All in all, a great spot and we will definitely be back!

    Been here multiple times now, always my go to for a laid back ambiance with high quality steaks and drinks. The mushrooms are a must-order with your steak, trust me.
