This is a curated list of Seattle's most notable and permanent restaurant and bar closures. See a closing we missed? Then drop us a line .
CAPITOL HILL — The Red Hook Brewlab, a space where the long-running beer brand could show off its suds, will close, reports Puget Sound Business Journal . Opened in 2017, the Brew Lab is the only location remaining in Seattle for one of the city's first craft brewers. Red Hook has been around since the '80s, though in recent years has it changed owners through a series of mergers and sales. The current owner, Tilray Brands, didn't provide the Journal with a closure date.
GEORGETOWN — The original trailer location of the Lowrider Cookie Company is closing, the local chain announced in a newsletter. It's a bittersweet closure for the brand, which has three other locations and another on the way in north Seattle. 'We have outgrown' the trailer, it wrote, 'and we want another small business to have the opportunity to grow and thrive.'
OTHELLO — Taco Street has closed, with the owners converting the space into a commissary kitchen. The owners wrote that 'challenges with parking, staff safety, and rising costs have made it unsustainable to keep operating as a quick-service restaurant.' They still run a Taco Street in the Pierce County town of Ruston and plan to open another restaurant in Tacoma soon; the Seattle space will be available for private events and catering.
CAPITOL HILL — Famed restaurant group Sea Creatures has closed its critically acclaimed steakhouse Bateau and its attached Boat Bar — but only temporarily, as the company 'reimagines' the space. The Capitol Hill location of Sea Creatures' doughnut shop General Porpoise is closing permanently as part of this shift. Workers at the restaurant had recently unionized, along with those at General Porpoise and oyster bar the Walrus and the Carpenter.
LAURELHURST — The General Porpoise next to University Village has closed as well.
CHINATOWN–INTERNATIONAL DISTRICT — The Seattle Times reports that the Seattle location of ramen chain Momosan has permanently closed.
DENNY TRIANGLE — More from the Times: The Denny Triangle location of Rachel's Ginger Beer has closed, but the famed beverage purveyor still has three Seattle stores.
KIRKLAND — A couple more closures also reported first by the Times : Well-known area chef MyLinh Tran is retiring after 25 years, meaning her French-Asian spot Lynn's Bistro has closed.
REDMOND — The last closure from the Times is Blu Sardinia, an Italian restaurant in the Bella Bottega Shopping Center with a striking dining room. The restaurant is reportedly closing because its lease ran out.
CAPITOL HILL — Seattle Met has details on a slightly confusing closure situation: The Tin Table, a restaurant that was opened to support the Century Ballroom but outlived it by a couple months, has now itself closed. But the Met reports an employee has bought the space and will be reopening as something new. (The Century Ballroom itself has been replaced seamlessly by Reverie Ballroom.)
KIRKLAND — Hanoon, the Eastside outpost of Middle Eastern restaurant group Nadi Mama, closed in May, the company said. It continues to operate Mamnoon and Mbar. See More: Seattle Restaurant Closings
