West Seattle restaurants open Christmas Eve/Day 2009, version 1.0

treesgraphic.jpgWith Christmas just days away, we’ve received questions about which West Seattle restaurants will be open on the holiday – either Christmas Eve and/or Christmas Day. Once again, volunteer help has saved our bacon, so to speak: First, thanks so much to Suzanne Tiedeman for her volunteer help with this research – (Suzanne is mom to a Junior Girl Scout and Bear Cub Scout and promises to let us know about their upcoming fundraisers – for her daughter, cookie pre-sales are starting soon; for her son, they’ll have a food drive in the 1st quarter of 2010). Now, to the restaurants: So far we’ve confirmed two THREE FIVE places open Christmas Day – Feedback Lounge (WSB sponsor) with a limited menu, (under new ownership) The Thaitan, (added 4:38, confirmed what Rick reported in comments) Ho-Win and (added Tuesday morning) Redline and Triangle Pub.

      Thanks, we’ll make a note of that in the “holiday hours” section of the West Seattle Holidays page, though for the purposes of this list, we are only talking about places that sell food, which (unless something has changed lately?) BPP does not – TR

    The Admiral Pub is doing a free Christmas eve early dinner. I was there for lunch today and the bartender told me they were offering a free ham and turkey dinner for anyone who comes by. She said they would be taking donations to the west Seattle food bank. I went on thanksgiving and it was So much fun they did the same thing. One of the many reasons I love the small town feel of West Seattle. Happy holidays!

    • WSB December 21, 2009 (10:59 pm)

      Thanks to everyone for the added information – helps a lot – I am updating the list late tonight and will re-timestamp it for tomorrow.

    I was at Admiral Pub for lunch and they said it’s a free turkey and ham dinner with stuffing, potatoes and salad on Christmas eve day until 500. They did this on Thanksgiving and I went. It was great fun. My whole family lives on the east coast and I can’t afford to fly so I’ll spend it at the pub. Thanks for posting wsb there are those if us who need a place to hang. Happy Holidays west Seattle!!

  • k December 22, 2009 (6:25 pm)

    will Prost be open?

    • WSB December 22, 2009 (6:40 pm)

      I’ll doublecheck my list … I’m 95% sure we asked and the answer was no … but I may be hallucinating. Stand by.

  • squareeyes December 23, 2009 (8:59 am)

    Bohemian will be open on Christmas Eve with live piano music, bartender Eric said that the flanking two restaurants (which I make out to be Prost and Spiro’s) will be closed.

  • Megan B December 23, 2009 (10:53 am)

    The Salvadorean Bakery on Roxbury will be open 8-5 Christmas Eve. I will be ordering tamales and frijoles con platanos. It’s just not the holidays without tamales!

    • WSB December 23, 2009 (11:11 am)

      Thanks! They’re on the coffee list that I’ll have out shortly but good point, they have more than coffee.

  • WSB December 23, 2009 (11:48 pm)

    squareeyes – for what it’s worth the Bohemian website says they’re closed Wednesday-Friday … so I’m not going to move them up to the list … the change may have been since you checked in with them.

    We were in Prost yesterday and they will be “closing early” tonight. Not sure what time that means.

Sorry, comment time is over.
