Q20 Public House

Sure its in a grocery store, but they have a nice seating area and an outdoor patio. Decent selection of beer which you can always check online using the Untappd online menu. The best thing about q20 is that you can get any of the beers with a full 20oz pour for $5 or $4 during the daily happy hour. This deal blows every other bar in Kirkland out of the water. Grab a deli pizza and you are set.

Friendly staff, and crazy cheap pints of local craft beer! Lots of windows, and a stunning westward view.

For someone like myself who does my grocery shopping at night for some "me-time," the ability to sit in an airy, open setting to have a glass of wine without feeling like I'm a loner at a bar full of socializing and as a precursor to being productive is amazing! Wine is pleasantly surprisingly inexpensive at $5-$8 a glass and looks like the beer selection on tap was quite comprehensive. I love that they incorporate outdoor sidewalk seating and outdoor bar seating (when gate is open) to give it a more community/casual feel. I can say it is also a positive addition overall to the Kirkland downtown area especially when most restaurants stop serving by 10 (Q20 is open 11a-11p daily) although I personally have issues with the massive scale of the Kirkland Urban development.

Came in to grocery shop and ended up at the bar. They have a great selection on tap and an enjoyable friendly staff. You can also order from tutta Bella from the bar, $10 pizzas

Relaxed atmosphere. Lots of locals hang out here. If you are a regular, you will most likely see someone you know enjoying a glass of wine. The bar manager Mikalah and her team, are very welcoming and can work through large crowds making sure everyone has a full glass. Prices are very, very, very reasonable. You can also eat food and snacks sold in QFC while you enjoy your wine or beer. Electronic tipping is not possible. So if you use your debit or credit card, just keep in mind that you are not able to add a tip to your bill. Bring cash to tip these hard-working ladies!

This is our frequently visited place. Easy access, plenty of parking, great selections of rotating beers. Several other venues at the same plaza to choose from. Friendly staffs!

The prices are really why you want to come here and maybe the convenience as you can get your groceries as you leave. The service is laughable. You have to constantly ask them for a refill or another beer, as they'll walk by your empty glass over and over again without a clue, often times on their cell phones. Cashiers posing as bartenders, but failing at it, is how I'd describe it. The only people who actually "bird-dogged" the bar(s) and customers were Randy and Jameson but they're no longer there, unfortunately. There's one who will gossip about customers to other customers constantly and she shouldn't be forward facing any customers. Bring Randy back!

This is a hidden gem for beer and wine near the heart of Kirkland. They serve their beer in 20 ounce mugs for $5 each; $4 on Sundays. The fact that they have an extensive beer and wine selection that frequently rotates makes this an even better deal. During warm days there's a large window that opens to a patio and water fountain right outside. Food options are also plentiful since this is located in a grocery store (QFC). You can bring any food you buy in the store to drink in the bar area, including made-to-order pizza, sandwiches, sushi, chips and many others. There are also many restaurants within walking distance. Shake shack is right next door and I discovered that you can skip the line by using their app. This means you can be relaxing at the bar with a cold one while watching everyone else waiting in line to order. They'll text you when you're order is ready for a quick pick up. So easy!Parking is validated for four hours, it's kid-friendly, and you can even get your grocery shopping done before or after. Just please don't tell anyone since it's one of the best kept secrets in Kirkland.

Very friendly staff. Best deal in the EASTSIDE. Imperial pints and great selection of beers and wines.
