Highly recommend this place. The food was incredible and the staff were absolutely wonderful!We walked up and down the street trying to figure out where to eat. Finally we decided to just eat at the restaurant closest to where we parked wherever that may be... we are so glad we decided to do that because we discovered the Bait Shop.

Ate Bit
I used to frequently visit Bait Shop and loved the food and vibes but something is majorly off now. Fish breading is consistently soggy and oily, tables and decor are covered in a thick layer of dust and grime. It’s just not the same experience and tbh it’s kind of gross in there now. Wish I could give this place a glowing review because I was a big fan, but after my last three experiences there, I just can’t say I’d ever recommend that anyone eats here. It is a shell of its former self.

The Bait Shop is a lovely clash of experiences - it feels both like a down-home small town bar and the epitome of what New Cap Hill could be. Although their cocktails aren't world-class, they really hit the spot and the vibe that they are going for. The popcorn chicken, on the other hand, IS world-class bar food. I highly recommend you make this a stop on your night out.

I bite through a treasured membrane and tear my way screaming.through this incessant dimming of our lights to see something different. torn.i will see something.i will see it as an animal...Im guided to a bench under this dim light and delivered options.i take one drink and i bite iti bite this drink as an animal, this is a place where animals arethis is a place animals use their teeth..the bartender talks to me and i tell her about the past.i have been wrapped in mirrors and left alonethis is the future, a mirror is.a future where i can be an animal and do those vile things...i take another drink and this one i breath itvile thing.carbohydrates are ideal and sweet.thats refreshing, the animal i am takes it apart and puts it together and so on.i like that.i like the way the last of the mirror peels away from meand even though the lights are dimmed i can finally see you..i bite at my arms and i bite at my legsand i watch your gaze as it scans over me.i stroke at that membraneand wonder what it was meant to keep freshwhile we talk over my third drink

The best fries in Seattle. Also, bring a couple friends and split the fish bowl cocktail. It’s delicious.

Fun, lively place in the evenings/nighttime. Excellent bar food - and some really good fish options that never disappoint. THE FRIES ARE INCREDIBLE! As are the wings - juicy on the inside, crispy-crunch on the outside, and NEVER once have they been under done! I used to work next door and we would skip lunches during normal lunch time to order a few things of wings and fries to share once they'd open (they open later in the afternoon, but oh man, the wait was always worth it). Do you know what makes them even better? The owners are incredible, kind, genuine people, and are almost always there working alongside everyone else. The faces are familiar, the drinks are awesome, and the atmosphere always brings a smile to my face. Love this place!
