SEASONAL MENUS AT OFF ALLEY
Columbia City, Seattle
A little restaurant hidden down an alley, serving a daily-changing tasting menu and pouring natural wines. Small space, big flavors, and just enough attitude to keep things interesting.

WHAT’S THE DEAL?
(Here’s the Deal)
-
We take reservations indoors only for the daily tasting menu. Coming for the bar menu? Just walk in and grab a spot at the standing rail, snag a patio table, or see if there's room inside.
Your reserved spot is yours for 90 minutes. We're a small restaurant, so timing matters—it helps us feed as many hungry humans as possible.
-
ALWAYS WELCOME.
We’re punk, not pretentious. -
More than 8 people? You'll need to inquire about a private buyout through contact@offalley.com . Our space is intimate—elbow to elbow, like your favorite dive bar from your 20s. We can accommodate up to … people for a large group.
-
First come, first served. Shared tables. Both tasting menu and bar menu available. Open year-round with propane heaters and blankets.
-
Also first come, first served. Bar menu only. It’s a great way to try Off Alley for the first time and get a sense of what we do and who we are.
-
We do not accept AmEx and we don't carry change / cash in house.
-
Starting 2025, we are eliminating all service charge on our bills and going to a flat pricing model. Our prices reflect a fair living wage for all of our staff, creating more equity for all staff members regardless of position.
We are of the firm belief that our staff should not have to depend on daily business to make ends meet, and we are now starting all of our our staff at $28/hour, well above the city minimum wage. Tips, whilst appreciated, are not required, as a fair living wage has been built into our prices.
We’re happy to answer questions!
-
Corkage - 65 dollars, limited to 1 bottle (750 ml) per reservation. Additional bottles will incur progressive surcharge.
If a bottle is brought in that is on our current wine list, restaurant pricing will be charged for it.
If you are interested in pre-ordering a bottle from our reserved list, please let us know when you make your reservation.

Big Love. Small Space.
Thank you for your support of Off Allley, our tiny restaurant and our small team. While the restaurant is small, you're supporting a whole network of small individual farmers and purveyors behind the scenes and we can't thank you enough for that. We look forward to seeing you, and hope you'll spread the word about us to other in your community.
