Top 27 Gluten-Free Bars to Experience in Downtown Seattle

It’s kind of wild how busy this place gets, especially since the sushi was pretty subpar. The real perk is the clearly labeled gluten-free menu—huge win—and the happy hour prices make it more appealing. But let’s talk about the service. Hawaiian shirt and mustache man—yes, you—our waiter. You quite literally stopped serving tables mid-shift to hang out and laugh behind the bar with your friends. We could see you. It wasn’t slammed. You just… opted out. Our food was delivered by kitchen staff, we never got drink refills, and after our plates were cleared (thanks to the ever-diligent dish crew), we sat for another 30 minutes before finally flagging someone down to pay. As we were walking out, you cheerfully waved from behind the bar with a “Have a great day, y’all!” So… you did remember us? Despite the laughably bad service, the gluten-free options and happy hour prices might bring me back—but next time, I’ll cross my fingers for a different server.

We went to Rocco‘s and had gluten-free pizza and cocktails. They were absolutely delicious and the vibe was stellar. also, the Greek salad was amazing.

Great gf options! Would come back

Really enjoyed my sandwich here (they also have gluten free options) and will definitely be back! Loved the pastrami sandwich. You can order at the front kiosk and the wait wasn’t too long despite it being a weekday lunch hour

Had a wonderful meal here while in Seattle for business. Needed to take clients somewhere nice but also safe for me to eat with Celiac. Menu was clearly marked Gluten Free and both hostess and wait staff made extra notes that I had celiac. There is a decent amount of gluten free options to enjoy and not be left feeling like there’s only one or two things on the menu you can order. Had zero issues after eating and 12 hours later still feeling good. Atmosphere was awesome, oysters were fresh and amazing and the Scallops and Prawns were flavorful and delicious. Great meal and great night out.

This place is amazing! Great service and yummy vegan food with gluten free options. The vegan salmon was like nothing I’ve ever had. You order drinks at the bar and food from the QR code on your table.

Of all the places I ate on my 10 day vacation, this was, by far and wide, the best food and atmosphere experience. The server was very knowledgeable about allergies and made sure my Celiac self did not get glutened. I will gladly go back the next time I'm in Seattle.

The food is delicious and the service is incredibly fast. I really appreciate the variety of options on the menu, including special dishes from the chef and traditional Thai fare. It's great that many dishes and curries can be made gluten-free. Overall, a fantastic experience.

I am gluten free and they had a specific menu for me and most of the food on it was the same as the regular menu. What a treat! The food was delicious, the server was super attentive and I like the simple elegant style. I will be back.

We went here twice during our weekend visit in Seattle because it was such a wonderful experience. The food was incredible and the service was amazing. Both nights the servers were very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Both of us needing gluten free options, we were easily able to find something that worked for us. The seasonal watermelon salad was so delicious and the presentation of everything was just beautiful. Highly recommend this place!

Chef Kirin Chun and staff were absolutely magnificent. I needed a safe gluten free meal and it was fabulous. From the initial contact about our needs, to the execution of our meals, to the spectacular service and ambience we could not have been treated better. I highly recommend El Gaucho Seattle without reservation. The best meals of my life have been enjoyed there! Well done!
