Lynnwood’s sports scene isn’t just about the game—it’s about where you watch it. This suburban hub blends shopping centers, community parks, and bustling thoroughfares, creating the perfect backdrop for cheering on your team. In this lineup, you’ll find craft beer havens, burger joints with massive screens, local favorites for game-day specials, and more.
Applebee’s Grill + Bar
$ | (425) 672-2626 | WEBSITE
There’s nowhere better in the neighborhood to unwind after a big game. The $15 chicken and shrimp platter involves a hearty portion of flavorful options. This might include a popular salad served alongside a basket of warm bread or a decent burger that’s a nod to classic American fare: it arrives with crispy fries and topped with a squiggle of special sauce.
The welcoming little touches make this place feel like home—for example, you get your own personal friendly server and different staff members proudly check on your table like hosts making sure their guests are having a good time.
The Cove Restaurant and Lounge
$ | (425) 745-4777 | WEBSITE
A relaxed pub-like space with plenty of TVs, an impressive happy hour specials list (plus fantastic drinks you can enjoy with friends), and tasty options to share make The Cove Restaurant and Lounge a prime candidate for your next large group gathering when a quiet dinner won’t cut it. We love their jet wings with cove fries, and the chicken pesto panini with garlic fries and aioli.
Dave & Buster’s
$$ | (425) 412-9250 | WEBSITE
Head to Lynnwood and you’ll spot plenty of families and groups making their way through the arcade or hanging out with a beer at the bar. All roads lead to Dave & Buster’s. The lively sports bar does simple food right. The BBQ Chicken Flatbread has a nice flavor—never too bland or overwhelming. And you can taste the smokiness of the chicken, separate from the fresh toppings.
Like any great entertainment spot, this is a place to post up in front of one of the many large TVs and gab about the game while the kids play arcade games nearby.
Just Chill Pub & Grill
$$ | (425) 678-8638 | WEBSITE
If your idea of a perfect night includes “watching the game with friends,” you’ll love Just Chill Pub & Grill. The waffle fries (our personal favorite) at this sports pub are fantastic, and if you pair them with pretty much anything else here, you won’t be disappointed. From savory stuff like wings and tacos to classic things like burgers and steaks, it’s hard to go wrong.
13th Ave Pub & Eatery
$ | (425) 742-7871 | WEBSITE
If you’re looking to unwind after a long day or catch the game with friends, head to 13th Ave Pub & Eatery. Part laid-back neighborhood sports bar, part lively gathering spot for locals, this pub has everything you need for a relaxed evening with tasty food and cold beers—including plenty of screens for sports viewing and karaoke that can sometimes rival the excitement of the game itself.
Blazing Onion Burger
$$ | (425) 640-9100 | WEBSITE
This spot pulls from the classic American playbook by remixing burger-joint staples with creative twists—just look to the BEST Angus Burger Dip that’s described as the creme de la creme of French Dips. A meal at this family-friendly dining spot is a great way to satisfy that burger craving: a carnivore-friendly mix of the bacon aioli burger that tastes like it was grilled over open flames, the lean turkey burger, and the other options inspired by quality ingredients.
The tater tots and salad sides round things out nicely, and the attentive staff keeps everything running smoothly in the comfortable atmosphere. While some might notice a slight dip from peak form, it’s still a highly recommended stop for hitting that burger fix with friendly service and solid drink selections.
Pub 44
$ | (425) 582-8808 | WEBSITE
We head to this lively sports bar for trivia night and find ourselves surrounded by the young, energetic crowd that fills the large area. The DJ and his girlfriend get everyone going with their music, making it tough for non-participants to chat, but the atmosphere is undeniably fun. We grab drinks from the friendly, quick bartenders who deserve a good tip, and check out the activities: pool tables, big games on the screens, and a dance floor that sees action on karaoke nights.
The bathrooms stay clean throughout the evening. Overall, Pub 44 is a great spot for a night out where you can catch a game, play some pool, or just soak up the lively vibe.
Back9 Parlor
$$ | (425) 582-9813 | WEBSITE
Anyone in Lynnwood who lamented having to drive across town for some decent golf entertainment, cheer up. Back9 Parlor’s setup at their local spot has the same lineup of zombie dodgeball, lacrosse, football, and of course, their signature golf games. Expect a steady stream of families and friends any time of day, and if you time things just right, you can finish off your round and head to the bar to wash it all down with a beer or two and some good fries with cheese and salsa.
Just Left Pub & Grill
$ | (425) 776-7379 | WEBSITE
Your next game night should happen at Just Left Pub & Grill, a lively sports bar that could double as an entertainment hub for friends. The welcoming space has plenty of bar, table, and booth seating if you want to spread out with wings and a cold beer, or catch a game on one of the many TVs. On top of great drinks with perfect pours and affordable prices, they have wings that are a highlight and single-handedly worth the trip.
