Bar Harbor
Bar Harbor in South Lake Union brings the flavors of Maine seafood to Seattle, with a design inspired by New England coastal eateries, incorporating natural wood, hand-painted elements, and nautical details, while featuring an open kitchen and full bar in the main space and a satellite area serving food and drinks on the back deck of the 400 Fairview market hall.
Bringing a bi-coastal restaurant to life in South Lake Union, Bar Harbor conveys the flavors and traditions of Maine seafood for a Seattle palette. The design takes inspiration from New England coastal eateries, using natural wood, hand painted elements and nautical details to recall the characteristics of a Maine lobster shack experience reinterpreted for a contemporary northwest context. The layout of the main space features an open kitchen and full bar, with an open plan that faces into the large communal area of the 400 Fairview market hall.
Bar Harbor also features a satellite space at the south end of the market hall that serves drink and food to the expansive back deck area. The owner personally applied many of the finishes himself such as the painted shingles and bar front as a 'labor of love'.
