New Year’s Eve 2020 might have been subdued because of pandemic restrictions, but in 2021, Seattle restaurants are making up for it with to-go specials, prix-fixe menus, and in-person celebrations. From Smith Tower’s 1920s-themed party, oysters and caviar at Cafe Hitchcock, and fried chicken party boxes from Pioneer Square D&E, these 11 restaurants are ringing in the new year in style. Reservations are highly encouraged, and make sure to bring proof of vaccination — or a negative COVID-19 test taken within the last 72 hours — as you head out.
Restaurants are listed from north to south.
King County requires proof of vaccination, or a negative COVID-19 test within the last 72 hours, for everyone ages 12+ at indoor establishments, restaurants, and bars. Studies indicate there is a lower exposure risk when eating outdoors, and the level of risk involved with patio dining is contingent on restaurants following strict social distancing and other safety guidelines. Please visit King County’s COVID website for resources and current information.
