About us

Black and Woman-owned

Fish Ladder Lounge was established in January of 2023, a second restaurant location started by Alison & Ryan here in the heart of Ballard. Alison & Ryan are passionate about community and food, both things are highly revered in any project they take on. This location holds a special place in their hearts as their humble beginnings were selling hot dogs from midnight to 2am to the hungry club crowd years ago. They are excited to transform the Fish Ladder into a place where adults, families, dogs, kids and collegiates alike gather to live life, eat good food and have a cocktail or three!
