First Look: Macleod’s Scottish Pub
Macleod’s Scottish Pub, located at 5200 Ballard Ave, opens December 21.
Alison Macleod, wife of Allen, painted this mural of Scotland. Plotted are the 26 distilleries the traveling trio visited.
The spirits menu showcases a large selection of single malts. Scotch enthusiasts will appreciate the well-aged labels at decent price points. Four beers are on tap, and barrel-aged cocktails are in the works.
During their visit to lauded scotch producer The Macallan, Weimann and Maclise picked up vintage signs like this one that detail the stages of distilling; seven of them line the length of the bar.
For food find soup prepared at nearby Bastille, savory pies, Scottish smoked salmon, and meats and cheeses.
The cast iron railing on the mezzanine hails from the Scottish Highlands. The upstairs features a lounge area, bringing capacity for the 1,000-square-foot space to 75.
Macleod’s is open every day from 4:30 to 2.
