West Seattle restaurants, bars planning to be open Christmas Day 2025 – plus Christmas Eve, New Year’s Eve, New Year’s Day hours
Dec 24 @ 11:06 pm

After our Thanksgiving lists of open restaurants/bars and coffee shops, we start all over again, checking on restaurant/bar hours for Christmas Eve/Day and New Year’s Eve/Day. The big question is always, who’s open Christmas Day? so we start with a condensed list of those, then the full list. One caveat – there are more than a dozen places we haven’t been able to reach, so you might find an open place that’s NOT on the list …

Annual Christmas Day Christmas Dinner/Potluck for Christmas Orphans at the Dragon House
Dec 25 @ 3:00 pm

Annual Christmas Day Christmas Dinner/Potluck for Christmas Orphans at the Dragon House

And by Christmas Orphans, I definitely do not mean “Please sir, Can I have some more” kid orphans, I mean grown ups with not enough family in town, who would like to go out and be social. And let me be clear, if you want to bring your locally adopted family to this event, or friends, or kids, or whomever, this is the event for you and them. There is always room for more people, and more delicious food on the table. (Well, hopefully everyone is vaccinated.)

That’s the Who and the What, now for the When and Where

The when is on Christmas Day Dec 25th. We will open the doors at 3:00PM, and start to dive into the yummy things that people have brought at about 4:00PM. With events at my house, we typically go until people leave as conversations are awesome (often as late as 11:00pm).

The where is that I’m at “The Dragon House” 5284 44th Ave SW (on the corner of 44th and Brandon in West Seattle). You can tell when you get here because of the large life sized sculptures in the yard, and down on the planting strip in front is a lifesized sculpture of a naked woman that had the dragon on a leash (she is missing her pet dragon that became only a stump due to a car hitting him). They are carved from trees that grew in those spots. Once you get here there is a set of curved grand entry stairs that are red concrete just to the North of the girl. Come on up, come past the trampoline and up onto the front porch. If you have trouble finding the place, please feel free to call (206) 932-6622 – by voice, it’s a landline in the house, and we can tell you how to get here. As a side note, if you have questions ahead of time, you can also feel free to call. Street parking is usually very easy to find close by.

Important Extra notes:

As far as the food: I’ll provide a brown sugar coated baked ham. Since this is a civilized event, I’ll provide real plates and silverware, the catch here is that you have to do your own dishes. There will be signs up and lots of people can help show you to the kitchen. It’s not really a steep price to pay for a wonderful meal. As far as what you bring, this is christmas dinner, this is the time of year you want to bring something amazing. Bring something you feel proud of sharing. Please DO NOT stop at a convenience store on the way here and grab a bag of chips or a bag of hot dogs… This sentiment is not about spending a lot of money or putting in hours and hours of time, it’s about taking pride in what you are sharing with the community of people you will be having dinner with. I’ve got a couple ovens to heat things in, I’ve got power to make sure a crock pot stays hot, I’ve got serving utensils. Traditionally the quality of food that people bring to events here is very good, thats one of the reasons I keep having events here!

I’ll have the fire lit inside, and there will be great conversations to be had.

This is a no smoking house, and a no animals house. While there are 2 sets of stairs to get in at the front, we have a more level area in back with only one set of stairs, and if you need help getting up them, call and let me know, the guests are always willing to help someone else in.

As usual, I’ll try take some time to give tours of some of the more entertaining features of the house, so if you’ve “always wondered”, well this is a great time to find out. In fact, if you are a budding storyteller and want to give some of the tours, reach out to me as a former housemate who loved giving tours probably won’t be here this year.

It’s been crowded at this event in the past, but this year, I have an empty room on the main floor that we will use as “The Dessert room”, and we will use the upstairs kitchen as “the bar”.

YES! Bring your kids! (As well as friends) I will have “The ultimate wood block set” next to the christmas tree, and if you’ve never seen it, you will be amazed. Heck, most adults are amazed by it. What you should NOT bring is paper plates or utensils or firewood.

There is a climbing wall in the house. And the chimney is set up as a climbing Chimney… If anyone wants to come be the belay climbing instructor, let me know, it’s always good fun for people that have never tried.

With that, I look forward to seeing everyone on Christmas day.

Sober-curious? West Seattle gathering @ Admiral Hub
Dec 27 @ 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm

SOBER CURIOUS?

Are you doing Sober January and wondering what it would be like to be sober all the time?

Let’s get together to talk about recovery. Fun, local, sober people are ready to share their stories and answer your questions about not drinking, like:

• How can I not drink and still have a social life?
• How would I navigate situations where everyone else is drinking?
• How do I know if I just have a problem with drinking or if I’m an alcoholic?
• Is AA religious? Do I have to believe in God?

There will be an ask-it basket – we take anonymity seriously.
This gathering is Open to Everyone.
This is NOT a recruitment event.

Listening to Grief Peer Support Groups @ Mama Be Well Healing Studio
Dec 29 @ 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm

Grief Support Groups

Grief groups are brave and safe spaces where bereaved people can share their stories and speak their loved one’s name without fear of getting advice, platitudes, or being shut out, no matter how long it’s been since their loved one’s passing. Every participant has dedicated time to speak about whatever they’d like, without judgment or interruption. Talking about our deceased loved ones in a supportive environment helps us remember them fully and helps us learn to carry the weight of their loss a little more gently.

These are ongoing, drop-in groups, but space is limited. Because of the sensitive nature of traumatic loss, the Thursday group is open only for those who are traumatic loss survivors. Learn more and register at listeningtogrief.com/groups. Contact Tamara at tamara@listeningtogrief.com with questions.

Mondays (except October 14 & November 25): 9:30 am-11:00 am at Nurture Wellbeing Studio 102

Early morning F3 men’s workout group at Hiawatha
Dec 30 @ 5:30 am

F3, a free national men’s workout group:

We have a local workout location that meets at Hiawatha park on Tuesday mornings at 5:30 am sharp. The group has been around for a few years, so many folks that are up early might have come across us before doing burpees or pushups and counting out loud. We’d love to extend the invite to men of any fitness level – we work out as a group and don’t leave anyone behind, come as you are and hopefully leave a bit better.

The workout is 45 minutes long and then we all get coffee at West Seattle Grounds. You don’t need to bring anything special, just wear comfortable athletic clothes appropriate for the weather and some sneakers. Some work or gardening gloves can be helpful if you have a pair. Just don’t be late or the whole group is doing penalty burpees.

Scottish Country Dancing classes in West Seattle @ Fauntleroy Church
Dec 30 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm

The Seattle Branch of the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society is pleased to announce a new class in West Seattle, demonstrating its ongoing commitment to the promotion of Scotland’s unique dance form in the Seattle metro area.

The class welcomes both families and individuals ages eight and over, regardless of experience. This weekly introduction to joyful jigs, lively reels and elegant strathspeys will take place at Fauntleroy Church on Tuesday evenings from 7:00-9:00 beginning September 9th. The Church, located at 9140 California Avenue SW, has ample parking and is conveniently located on the RapidRide C line and a half mile from the Fauntleroy ferry terminal. Comfortable clothing permitting ease of movement, non-marking shoes and a good sense of humor are the only essentials for the class. An individual’s first class is free. Thereafter per class fees will be $10 and $5 for ages 8-17.

Seattle Branch Chair, EB Van Otterloo, will be one of the class instructors. Of Scottish Country Dancing, Van Otterloo says, “There are so many things to love about this form of dance. It’s social, but you don’t need to bring a partner. It’s good exercise for your body and your mind, and most of all, it is such good fun.”

Blaine Peet, who has taught Scottish Country Dancing around the world, will join Van Otterloo in teaching the new class. “Once you have learned the basics, you can dance with people anywhere across the U.S. and Canada, and around the globe. It’s a great way to make new friends in different cultures, no matter whether you are in Europe, Asia or Australia.”

The Seattle Branch has regular social events and runs classes in the U-District, at the Phinney Neighborhood Center and in Edmonds while also promoting classes in Tacoma, Burien and Mount Vernon, among others. More information is available at rscds-seattle.org/classes

The big question is always, who’s open Christmas Day? so we start with a condensed list of those, then the full list. One caveat – there are more than a dozen places we haven’t been able to reach, so you might find an open place that’s NOT on the list …
