Thank you to our loyal guests for supporting Ray’s in The Seattle Times 2026 Reader’s Choice poll! We are proud to celebrate our two exciting awards: Best Happy Hour and Best View!
For more than 50 years, Ray’s Boathouse & Cafe has been a Seattle destination for fresh seafood, casual dining, and spectacular waterfront views. These awards celebrate two things our guests have enjoyed for generations.
Happy Hour With a View
Looking for one of the best happy hours in Seattle? Join us at Ray’s Cafe or Ray’s Boathouse.
Ray’s Cafe offers happy hour alongside its all-day dining experience. Enjoy refreshing cocktails, local beers, wine, and delicious bites. The Cafe’s waterfront setting makes it an ideal spot to unwind with friends.
Downstairs at Ray’s Boathouse, happy hour offers another way to enjoy the water. Sip a cocktail while taking in views of Shilshole Bay and the Olympic Mountains. The Boathouse happy hour features drinks and bites designed for sharing and relaxing.
Both locations offer a welcoming atmosphere for casual dining. They also provide plenty of opportunities to enjoy Seattle’s waterfront.
Seattle Views Worth Celebrating
Ray’s is a water view restaurant with a front-row seat to the beauty of the Pacific Northwest. Guests can watch boats move across Shilshole Bay while enjoying sweeping views of Puget Sound.
On clear days, the Olympic Mountains create a stunning backdrop. Outdoor decks and patios provide even more ways to enjoy the scenery.
Whether you’re stopping in for happy hour, enjoying a seafood dinner, or meeting friends for a casual meal, Ray’s offers an experience rooted in Seattle.
Thank you again to everyone who voted and continues to dine with us. We are honored to be recognized as a Gold winner for Best Happy Hour and a Silver winner for Best View. We look forward to welcoming you back to the waterfront soon!
