Eating while riding horseback was pioneered by the efficient Mongols, who also adjusted to reading, receiving haircuts, and filling out their taxes atop their four-legged mobiles. Enjoy the convenience of chairs and tables with today’s Groupon: for $20, you get $40 worth of pub fare and pours at The Tin Table. This Groupon is not valid for happy hour, and your order must include a food item.

At The Tin Table, the dinner menu offers local, sustainable, and pub-friendly eats, including modern American salads, meats, and seafood selections. Grab a seat at the bar to sip Chimay Blue Reserve ($10), tongue-tie on a few shoestring fries with truffle salt ($4), or simply snack through a plate of duck-liver pâté, cherry jam, sweet pickled-carrot ribbon and crostini ($5). For a hearty dinner, Tin Table tablemates can hang fangs on seared swordfish adorned with spicy avocado, sweet corn, red onion, and peppadew ($14) or Carlton Farms pork tenderloin flanked by braised rainbow chard, shaved garlic, and a fig drizzle ($15). To top off the evening, make a heartfelt request for the black-plum galette served warm with almond cream, caramel sauce, and vanilla-bean ice cream ($8), because, with the exception of speaker-boxed teddy bears, nothing says “love” like dessert.

Tucked discretely inside the second floor of the recently renovated Odd Fellows Building, The Tin Table features Old World décor that beckons long, lingering conversations. Exposed brick walls and a timber ceiling create a warm, wide-open feel, and the eponymous tin table, fashioned from refurbished fire doors, seats groups of up to 12 friends, all of whom can help imbibe the dozens of wines and cocktails available for slow social consumption.

This Groupon is valid for dine-in only.

Reviews

Seattle Met magazine lists The Tin Table as one of the area's Best Bars and has featured it as well.

• …the fact that its food, like its staff, stays so wholesome and careful and authentic surpasses magic and approaches the realm of the miraculous. Paris in the ’20s? In this lucky corner of Seattle…much better. – Kathryn Robinson, Seattle Met
