Macleod's Fish & Chips Scottish Pub

Warm, cozy, dark ambiance. Stopped in before dinner elsewhere for some drinks. The nitro beer was smooth and creamy and the penicillin cocktail had a nice zing without it being too punchy, maybe the honey rounded out the ginger & lemon. Loved both drinks and the server was good too. I'd like to come back for sure and also get some food next time

Fun bar and restaurant! We went on a Saturday night so it was busy but we were able to get a booth on the back. Service was quick for it being pretty busy. We ordered the fish and chips (cod) and I was a little taken aback that it was shaped like a log, but it tasted good. I wish it had a lemon wedge. We also got the crispy chicken and it lived up to its name-- crispy!

The vibe at this pub is truly magical. It's one of my favorite places to go for a really decent fish n chips with a side of curry sauce and an order of Scotch eggs and deep fried mars bars. Service is always great. & thanks for the Irn Bru. This place is super clean too which is always a plus!

Dark, vibey, and excellent fish and chips, good range of Scotch flights, great cocktails.Downstairs is more traditional bar seating but don't sleep on going upstairs, cool little corners for 5-6 person groups.21+ so a nice adult vibe but no crazies.

Asked a local patron at a tavern we were at what place has the best fish and chips in the area and he suggested this place, so off we went. The Sunday farmers market was just wrapping up and the place was just opening when we arrived. Our waitress was AWESOME. We all had a beer and got some appetizers because we wanted to walk down to the locks/fish ladder before coming back for dinner. The Scotch egg was very good, but the deep fried oysters had too much cornmeal breading which masked the actual oyster taste. Happy hour prices were nice. After visiting the locks, we headed back for the much anticipated fish and chips. Well, we were disappointed. The fish itself was very good, but the batter was soggy and actually slid right off the cod fillet. The clam chowder was solid. Again the service was off the hook, but the fish and chips left us greatly disappointed.

The fish and chips here are delicious. I also highly recommend the ceasar salad with fried chicken. It's a little pricey for portion sizes, but the cool ambiance and good cocktails make up for it. Service can be a little slow some nights, but not too bad

Good cocktails, good mocktails, fries were great with so many sauce options! Very cool and old timey inside with lots of wood and very cool bar.

Solid spot for fish and chips or scotch or both. Whatever suits your fancy. Macleod's Fish & Chips Scottish Pub is a fun restaurant that transports you to Scotland in the Ballard neighborhood. Ya gotta try the famous fish and chips at least once. We visited Macleod's for happy hour when they had some discounted cocktails and bites. I ordered a Manhattan, which was solid, and my partner and I shared the cod fish and chips, which was tasty. At Macleod's, you have a choice of cod, salmon or halibut for fish and chips, and you can't go wrong with any of them. The batter was good, with flaky cod and crispy chips/fries with smashed peas on the side. It satisfies your fish and chips craving. The corner restaurant in Ballard has a nice outdoor, covered patio area where it's dog friendly. Come here for the fish and chips and looong whiskey list, which makes for a grand ol' time.

Sensational food. Best fish and chips I ever had, even the mushy peas were a treat and not like any others. Service was tops, nice outdoor seating. Definitely planning a return visit.

Food was amazing. Very cozy and warm environment. The waiter was super friendly. Definitely will come back.
