Description

Specialties

The Stepping Stone is your neighborhood bar. A great place to meet friends old and new, enjoy a cold beer, glass of great wine, along with one of our delicious sandwiches. There is no better place to watch The Seahawks, Mariners or Sounders. The Stepping Stone is your second living room!

History

Established in 2013.

The Stepping Stone was opened on September 4, 2013 by Darren and Liz Miller. Darren had been a bartender at the beloved Viking Tavern for many years. When The Viking closed Darren and Liz realized that Ballard needed a new clubhouse, a comfortable, friendly bar where people could gather to chat, enjoy a ball game, have a drink and eat some great food.

The Stepping Stone is opens 7 days a week at noon and is open Monday — Saturday till 2am and Sunday until midnight (but sometimes we are open later!).

One of my favorite neighborhood bars in Ballard! Awesome atmosphere and people! Just a great place to roll into and spend some time with quality people. The bartenders are amazing and make the bar a particularly welcome place. Highly recommended!

This place is awesome. Owned by veteran bar folks. They know and care about customer service. Especially surprising is a small menu but the food is handmade right in front of you. My favorite the turkey sandwich with bacon. Even will put pepper on te tomatoes for you. Thanks Liz! Great staff and a mature but not fuddy duddy type clientele. Look for the Norweigan flag. PS great private bathroom.

I went to this little gem on monday and had a wonderful lunch in a friendly atmosphere. Very clean and good food. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. The ginger beer was a first and I usually don’t like beer.

Not expecting much but a great place. Clean and comfortable. Great service. Low key. No blasting music. Good selection of local beers and the food I had was excellent. Lean and delicious Pastrami Ruben. Cudo’s Aubrey the bartender.

Good people, good service, good drinks, good times.
Glad to have Stepping Stone in the neighborhood. They are the local bar that Ballard needs to hold onto and not give in to an ever increasingly conglomerate feel. Stay true Stepping Stone!

Great neighborhood bar, cozy place with friendly, sarcastic clientele. Potlucks for Seahawks games are a hoot.

Glad for new ownership. Regular consistent hours we can count on. Brighter space. Great beer at good prices. More mature crowd (read: not people being too outrageous or in some wild rush to get totally blotto).
I hear they have food, but didn’t try any when we were in on Friday — just stopping in for a pint on our way into downtown Ballard for a show — but do look forward to trying it.
Grateful for a well-​priced bar without pretense! May skip it on big game days (given the three TVs and our personal lack of interest in sportsball), but we’ll definitely be back. Glad you took over!
