Radiator Whiskey is getting ready to open a new location on Ballard Ave.
Radiator Whiskey also has a location in Pike Place Market, is moving into the former Ballard Cut space at 5311 Ballard Ave NW. The Ballard Cut moved to 2221 NW Market St in 2024.
Owner Dan Bugge—who also owns Matt’s in the Market—says he’s always wanted to be part of Ballard.
“We are excited to be a part of Ballard’s amazing community,” Bugge said in an email to My Ballard. He said he’s also looking forward to being next door to Gracia, whose owner Chester Gerl opened Matt’s in the Market with him.
Bugge said the new space will be all-ages and will be very similar in style and feel to the Pike Place Market location. “The big barrel will be hung behind the bar to enjoy some nice whiskeys on tap, along with some of our favorite taxidermy hung on the walls,” Bugge said.
The menu will be different from the Pike Place Market location, but Bugge said they’ll still have classic dishes like their burnt ends, brisket, loaded tots, and fried pork shank. He added that they’ll also have plenty of seafood and veggie options.
“We want to bring super approachable, and fun, food, and drinks to the neighborhood,” Bugge said. “We will have a great cocktail program and be very food driven.” They’ll have their signature cocktails such as bourbon margaritas, smoke maple old fashioned, and market mules.
Radiator Whiskey Ballard will also have a late-night menu from 10 p.m. to midnight “for our neighborhood and industry friends to enjoy food and drinks after work at a great price point.”
Bugge said they expect to open in April or May—we’ll keep you posted.
