About The Sloop
The Sloop Tavern has a long history in Ballard starting in 1953 when Ole Olsen brought the idea across the pond. Originally the Sloop had 3 taps and only a bar top with no kitchen. After many owner changes and iterations the Sloop came to be owned by local legend Big Wayne. He wanted a place for him and his sailor friends to hang out after they docked their boats in Shilshole marina.
In 1977 with the help of local sailor Peter Martinsen the Sloop tavern yacht club was born, a blue collar yacht club for everyday sailors and live aboards. In 1999 local restauranteur Charley Files bought the Sloop and made it was it is today.
Sadly in 2011 Charley passed away but his son Patrick took over to carry on the tradition to this day. Standout items at the Sloop include the world famous beer battered fish and chips, burgers featuring locally butchered meats and the much talked about Sloopersize beer; 33.8oz of the coldest draft beer in town served in a chilled mug. The Sloop is the last tavern in Ballard and a true Ballard original and as we say, ‘It’s always happy hour at the Sloop !!
