About This Spot

Stepping into North Shore Pub is like slipping into a favorite neighborhood retreat—a place where the pace slows down, yet friendly energy hums just beneath the surface. Situated in Kenmore, this bar offers a welcoming vibe that invites both regulars and newcomers to settle in for a casual drink or a laid-back game of pool. It’s the kind of spot where the buzz comes as much from shared stories and laughter as from the background hum of familiar tunes and the occasional ping of a pinball machine’s flippers.

The atmosphere here leans comfortably into easygoing charm with a hint of nostalgia. The wooden bar glows warmly under soft lighting, creating little pockets of conversation that feel intimate without pressure. Whether you’re grabbing a beer after work, catching the game amid a cluster of sports fans, or unwinding over a gin and tonic, there’s a genuine sense of being among friends—even if it’s your first visit.

Part of what makes North Shore feel so unpretentious yet lively is the human element behind the counter. Bartenders who remember your name, quick service that doesn’t rush you, and the easy camaraderie that blooms when people gather around classic bar games or cheer on a shared favorite team. The culinary side fits naturally into this rhythm—simple, satisfying bites appear on special occasions, and the openness to bring in bites from nearby favorites adds a relaxed, homey touch to the experience.

Whether you’re drawn by the idea of a crisp IPA, a creative cocktail like a perfectly balanced gin and tonic, or just a familiar spot to unwind, the North Shore Pub manages to feel like one of those rare places where you can truly be yourself. It’s this mix of casual comfort, spirited company, and straightforward fun that keeps people coming back.

Been here twice now, one of which was my first bar experience ever, and I love it! Cori is a wonderful bartender and a blast to be around, I live nearly 30 min away but will continue to come here for the impressively good service and great drinks!

Great bar with friendly, awesome staff. They always have fun games and activities and great BBQ on special days. Prices are fantastic and I always have to finish with a Jello shot! Pinball is their newest addition!

Welcoming barkeep, regulars, enough screens for sporting variety, pool table if you need. No menu worth mentioning (one of those regionally famous minimalist bars in this regard) but you can bring in your own food from nearby spots; frequently someone orders delivery pizza, tip your bartender accordingly!!

I think that North shore pub is my new favorite place to stop for a game of pool and a quiet drink. I made some wonderful friends during my time here. The vibe of the place is laid back and relaxing - it reminds me of my favorite dive bars back home in Montana. Next time I come, I will remember to bring my own pool cue. The ones they have are perfectly good, but I have a feeling I would have been able to run the table if I had had my own cue . The outside area was wonderful and relaxing and calm. The bartender was very kind to my friend and I as we went from the bar to the pool table to outside for a few minutes of fresh air. I will absolutely be back!

A true dive bar in the best possible sense, nice people and a low key vibe that is just right after a long day. Stop by on a Thursday for free tacos and a good beer selection.

Oh my DAYUM.... Just had the most intense blue Jello Shot since college. And THAT is saying something... Our first time here and everyone is super friendly.
