Country Roads Bar is a restaurant opening in Ballard, Seattle. It's a country bar taking over the former Shingletown Saloon space, from the operator of the pub next door. The remodel moves the bar toward the back of the room to clear floor space for line dancing and live music, with local musicians on a regular schedule and a house band planned. Food stays light: a short list of bar snacks and small bites, and you're welcome to carry in something from a nearby restaurant. They're opening October 2026. Newly licensed spots often soft-open first, so check their listing or call ahead before you go.
