Buckley’s in Belltown is a neighborhood sports bar and American grill at 2331 2nd Avenue, where Seattle locals come to watch the game, drink a beer, and settle into weekend brunch. It is the downtown sibling of the original Buckley’s on Queen Anne, and it keeps the same casual, come-as-you-are attitude (Buckley’s).
Inside, multiple TVs line the room, so fans can follow several games at once without craning for a view. The menu sticks to bar-and-grill staples built for sharing during a close fourth quarter. Weekend brunch draws a separate crowd that mixes morning cocktails with comfort plates. The happy hour discounts both drinks and food, which keeps the after-work seats full (zMenu). The bar holds a 4.3 rating across hundreds of diner reviews (Restaurantji).
Visitor Highlights & Practical Info
Arrive early on NFL Sundays and on Seahawks, Mariners, or Kraken game days, because the bar fills quickly. Weekend brunch also gets busy from late morning through early afternoon. For a calmer visit, come on a weekday afternoon or during happy hour before the evening rush. Confirm current hours and call ahead for larger groups at (206) 588-8879 (USA Restaurants). Pike Place Market and Seattle Center are each a short walk away, and several King County Metro bus routes run along 2nd and 3rd Avenues.
