Hattie's Hat Restaurantsimilar businesses >

Set in the heart of historic Ballard, Seattle's Scandinavian neighborhood, Hattie's Hat has been the workingman's friend through thick and thin. They've staked their claim on serving comfort food and stiff drinks, and the yellowed photographs and the beautifully weathered bar, within its nicotine-tinged walls, stand as testament to the establishment's success. Hattie's draws a constant crowd from Ballard's hipster set, yet manages to keep their street cred with the area's fishermen and shift workers. Weekend nights tell a different story. As twang- fans overflow from the Tractor Tavern next door, the small and narrow bar room quickly packs to capacity and you'll be hard-pressed to grab a seat and enjoy a drink, with the respect the space deserves. In the home-cookin' department, don't miss their signature dishes of chicken-fried chicken with garlic mashed potatoes smothered in gravy, or smoked, pan-fried pork chops with a side of creamed corn. Of special note are the Bloody Marys, a favorite with locals for that early, Sunday-afternoon breakfast.
