Kangaroo & Kiwi

Kangaroo & Kiwi is a sports pub and restaurant at 2026 NW Market St in Seattle's Ballard neighborhood, operating as the city's only Australian and New Zealand themed venue. With 1,227 reviews yielding a 4.2-star rating, the establishment draws crowds for Premier League Soccer, NRL, AFL, rugby internationals, and major tournaments including the 2026 World Cup matches slated for Seattle. The pub offers indoor and outdoor bar service, multiple screens with audio for game viewing, and hosts private events at no room rental charge.

What sets Kangaroo & Kiwi apart is its dedication to authentic down under hospitality combined with a robust calendar of daily specials and events. The kitchen runs trivia nights, euchre, bingo, and poker tournaments throughout the week, while weekend brunch serves from 10 AM to 2 PM. Happy hour runs daily from 4 PM to 6 PM featuring discounted drafts, imported and local beers, and well drinks alongside reduced-price food items. The venue's historical building adds character that reviewers frequently mention as worth the visit.

Reviewers highlight specific menu items and the environment as reasons to visit, though food quality receives mixed feedback. One diner described the Aussie meat pie as overly sweet and too salty with bland mashed potatoes, while another praised the french fries as particularly special. Positive reviews consistently cite the fun environment, good beer selection, spacious layout with pool tables, and genuine staff. The venue's commitment to showing sports with volume on all screens distinguishes it from typical sports bars.
