Book with PearlWhy go
The Shed is worth choosing for whiskey, classic cocktails, a relaxed fire-lit setting on Bothell’s Anderson School campus. Go for a casual date, a small-group drink, or a repeat visit when the priority is atmosphere and an easy walk-in setup, not a full dinner or formal cocktail-bar experience.
About The Shed
The details for The Shed in Bothell are direct: the listed price is $25 per person, the dress code is casual, the schedule starts at 4 PM every day. That makes this a simple evening option to evaluate on practical terms rather than on claims about cuisine, drinks, room design, or service format.
Use The Shed when the basics fit your plan: a casual stop in Bothell with evening hours and a listed price of $25 per person. The available facts do not confirm a specific menu focus, beverage program, reservation policy, seating setup, or special service style, so the safest recommendation is to check current details directly before building a night around anything more specific than price, hours, casual dress.
Pricing and hours are the clearest reasons to consider The Shed
The strongest planning detail is the $25-per-person price point. That gives The Shed a clear place in a Bothell night out for guests who want a casual evening stop without assuming a formal or high-end format.
The posted hours are also useful: Monday through Thursday from 4–10 PM, Friday and Saturday from 4–11 PM, Sunday from 4–10 PM. Because no lunch hours are listed, plan around an afternoon or evening visit rather than a midday meal.
The Shed works well as a casual Bothell option
Dress code is casual, so The Shed is easiest to frame as a relaxed Bothell choice. Beyond that, details about atmosphere, menu, drinks, seating, entertainment are not confirmed here and should not be treated as fixed planning facts.
For a broader Bothell plan, pair the decision with the Bothell restaurants guide, or use the Bothell hotels guide if you are comparing nearby places to stay.
How to use it on a repeat visit
The practical way to use The Shed is to confirm the current details, then match the visit to the posted evening schedule. It is open from 4 PM daily, closes at 10 PM Sunday through Thursday, stays open until 11 PM on Friday and Saturday. With casual dress and a listed $25-per-person price, it works best as an easy Bothell option when those basics suit the night.

Bar context
How The Shed compares in Bothell
Choose The Shed when ease matters more than a tightly defined bar concept. Against Nui Nui and Principal's Office, it reads as the lower-commitment option: better for an unfussy local meetup, less persuasive for readers who want a clearer reason to plan the night around one room.
Nui Nui is the stronger cross-shop if ambiance is the deciding factor, while Principal's Office is the better first check for a more intentional drinks stop in Bothell. The Shed works when booking difficulty and planning friction need to stay low.
If location is flexible, Father Mulligan's Heritage Bar, Fireside Lounge, Toyoda Sushi are better treated as different-night alternatives rather than direct Bothell substitutes. Stay with The Shed for convenience; look outward if the experience itself needs to carry the evening.
