The owner of the Tractor Tavern (5213 Ballard Ave NW) is opening another bar and restaurant in Ballard. The Blue Glass (704 NW 65th St) officially opens at 5 p.m. today in the old Tigertail location.
Owner Dan Cowan says that he and his partner, Patti Bellafato, “like to think we have created a casual but classy and cozy neighborhood restaurant, offering what we are calling global comfort food, featuring small plates and full entrees.” The Blue Glass will be open 5 p.m. to midnight Sunday – Thursday and 5 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. Friday and Saturday.
Also on this stretch, look for the Ridgeback Cafe to open in a week or so in the old Renick Printing location at 500 NW 65th St.
