"Barking Dog Alehouse is a restaurant and bar right off 8th in Ballard, nestled into a side road so definitely of the beaten path. They have some seating outside with heaters and coverage, plus lots of seating inside at tables or the bar. They have a bunch of TVs and a good sized menu of food and drinks. With weekly specials, there's always something new to try. They are dog friendly inside, and baby friendly as well. The staff is so nice, quick to help, and although the food is a bit pricey at smaller portions, it's delicious. Definitely a great local spot to try out."
