The restaurant presents a varied selection of fresh oysters that are carefully sourced and skillfully prepared. With attention to quality and craftsmanship, Barnacle provides a destination where both seasoned oyster connoisseurs and newcomers can savor the flavors of the sea in a refined setting.

Spent some time in Barnacle waiting for our table at Walrus & the Carpenter and honestly sort of wish I had just stayed here. You can get some small bites along with fresh shucked oysters (and that tasty bread service) as well as cocktails, beer and wine. I preferred the service at Barnacle as well.

I love this bar. It’s very fortunate that more bars have discovered and offered a nice selection of Amari, but there’s nothing else like Barnacle. Barnacle has an amazingly large collection of beautiful complex bitter herbal elixirs to enjoy. This is truly one of Seattle’s hidden treasures!

A large selection of amari. Great drinks and service. Small venue though, so you may have trouble finding a seat. The olives were great and my wife loved the sardines. Love that they sprinkle salt on the butter for their bread and butter plate.

Delicious food and drinks. Perfect spot to wait for a walk-in to Walrus & Carpenter (W&C), or just a chill delicious spot in general. Even thought the space was completely full (sitting and standing) the service was very attentive, we got our food and drinks in the perfect amount of time, and they automatically transfer your tab over to W&C.

Barnacle is the perfect spot to have a drink while waiting for a spot next door at The Walrus and The Carpenter. They have a unique and tasty drink menu, which is accompanied by a food menu featuring small plates and tins of seafood. The tile work is beautiful and the space is quaint and comfortable. There’s one long bar lined with stools, and a small booth in an alcove off the back. The bartender couldn’t have been any nicer, and gave us some recommendations of her favorite places in Seattle. Solid spot.

If you’re going to Walrus just for the oysters and want to skip the line, go to Barnacle. Same oysters, same kitchen, just technically a different bar in the same building owned by the same folks.

Tiny little bar attached…. well…. like a barnacle to the Walrus and Carpenter. Good selection of craft cocktails and wines. The bar tenders were friendly and helpful, they doubled as servers and handled the prep of the many foodie small plates they had.

Very good oysters and cocktails. Though they don’t normally make cosmos, the bartender made one for my wife and it was the best she’s ever had. Busy, but attentive barkeeps keep the drinks, snacks, and happiness flowing.

Using the bathroom means finding the Ginger with the beard and man bun in a butcher’s apron and asking the code. There will be a “sea breeze” in the hallway. There is a ham stand on the bar. Cocktails with essence of black licorice are my favorite. I don’t have “upside down spectacles” to view this menu board.
