WEST SEATTLE RESTAURANTS: Reopening begins (beverage businesses too!)

| Coronavirus | West Seattle news | West Seattle restaurants

As reported here this morning, King County is now in “modified Phase 1” and that means some businesses can reopen if they choose to – including restaurants, who can have some indoor and outdoor table service. Here’s who we’ve heard from/about so far:

LUNA PARK CAFE: Open! (2918 SW Avalon Way)

SEATTLE FISH COMPANY: Open! (4435 California SW)

BOX BAR: Planning to open Saturday: “The Box Bar will be open for indoor dining at 25% capacity (15 guests) starting tomorrow Sat 6/6 from 4 PM-10 PM. Hours moving forward are subject to change so please check the website boxbarseattle.com” (California/Brandon)

OUNCES: “We’ve reopened our outdoor. We are following phase 1.5 guidelines from the state: no indoor seating, operating at 50% outdoor capacity, wearing a mask requested when inside the taproom, seating is spaced 6ft apart, no more than 5 people per table…etc. We are also asking customers to practice social distancing and help us by sanitizing their space before and after use (spray bottle supplied). We will continue our pickup and delivery options, expanded hours, and our food truck schedule can be found on our website www.ounceswestseattle.com.” (3809 Delridge Way SW)

MIOPOSTO: Planning to open Wednesday (6/10), with this brand-new patio as well as indoor dining:

“Updated hours are 11:30 am-10 pm. Brunch and lunch are served daily until 3 pm. Daily happy hour 4 pm-6 pm (dine-in only). Guests can still order for curbside pickup via our online ordering website.” (2139 California SW)

Are alcoholic beverages allowed at the Mioposto patio? Previous not allowed on their sidewalk seating.

Robyn Nielsen June 6, 2020 (12:16 am)

Yes! With the new SDOT sidewalk cafe rules we can now serve our full menu including cocktails, wine, and beer!

JC June 5, 2020 (6:02 pm)

Whiskey west and Zeeks are open as well! Just drove past :)

Trevor Dunbar June 5, 2020 (6:37 pm)

Locust on Alki open!

Yma June 5, 2020 (6:39 pm)

Really want to know (& a bit worried) about The Chelan – can anyone give word?

WSB June 5, 2020 (7:02 pm)

We’ll drive by during upcoming informational drive & see if there’s anything on the door.
Jennifer June 10, 2020 (5:39 pm)

Drove by there earlier, there were signs saying they open tomorrow morning!

Carmen June 5, 2020 (6:40 pm)

Future Primitive Brewing has opened their patio according to their Instagram!

Rumi June 5, 2020 (6:42 pm)

Excited to see DJ at Luna Park telling people where to go! 😁

I guess face masks are now optional, since you can’t wear them while eating or drinking. I’m definitely NOT visiting these establishments.

WSB June 5, 2020 (9:43 pm)

The state’s guidance says specifically that restaurant patrons are supposed to wear face coverings except when seated at their tables.

ACG June 5, 2020 (7:21 pm)

The El Camion truck (across from Endolyne Joe’s) is no longer there. They posted a sign saying that the truck was broken into. Very sad about that- we were craving tacos! I hope they come back.

WSB June 5, 2020 (8:37 pm)

I just got a note about that. Sorry to hear it. Will try to find out more.

  Saw the truck drive away this afternoon and got worried. I hope they can return. sad☹️

Pizza Pete June 5, 2020 (8:03 pm)

Pizzeria 22 has outdoor dining tonight. Admiral Pub is open for takeout orders.

CAM June 5, 2020 (9:13 pm)

I know they aren’t restaurants but I’ve been frantically checking Paper Boat and Pegasus’ sites repeatedly hoping for an update so I know where I can go and get my prescribed 30 minute fix.

CM June 5, 2020 (10:49 pm)

CAM, we picked up from Pegasus today. It sounds like they will not be opening for browsing for a while in consideration of the fact that there is a lot of hands on interaction while browsing. I know it’s not same but they have online browsing and a great curbside pick-up option if you weren’t already aware.
- CAM June 6, 2020 (8:33 am)
  
  That’s probably smart CM but it makes me kinda sad. I’ve been craving that experience of walking down the aisles and just slowly reading the spines until one strikes my fancy and I was hopeful I’d be able to do that for a couple minutes. It’s small but it would feel a little like normal again.

    that’s how I feel about the library. I never signed up for any online books or services this whole time because I just want to go back and look for dvds.

Jorge June 5, 2020 (11:31 pm)

Any word on copper coin outdoor seating opening up??

Smittytheclown June 6, 2020 (7:52 am)

So nice to see!

Kathryn June 6, 2020 (10:19 am)

Seriously so excited to see local places opening up. Now, I don’t have to travel hours to go to a sit down restaurant.. Yaay:)

Theresa June 6, 2020 (10:47 am)

Beverage place pub open with the same restrictions on numbers etc. Great to see

newnative June 6, 2020 (11:59 am)

Not sure where this fits in but Ralph’s Hair Place in the Admiral Building has a sign up on his door requesting people to sign up for appointments on his Facebook page. He wants to have a list before opening up.

WSB June 6, 2020 (12:03 pm)

Thank you – I hope to write separately about hair salons later today, have to get through a couple other stories first. Longtime WSB sponsor Illusions Hair Design will start taking appointments tomorrow, and one client on the WSB team couldn’t be more thrilled after three months of overgrowth …

Chris June 7, 2020 (10:08 am)

Any word on New Luck Toy reopening?

WSB June 7, 2020 (11:25 am)

For sitdown? No. They only just reopened for takeout/delivery and had to close Friday after being swamped the previous two days, but were scheduled to resume operating yesterday.
