Need a spot to gather friends without hosting at home? Sunny Hill is a neighborhood restaurant in Ballard's Sunset Hill area. We're not primarily set up as an event space, but private gatherings are available — birthdays, work parties, rehearsal dinners, team outings, or just getting your people together over great food -- we're here for all of it.

Sunny Hill offers a welcoming, unpretentious space with Detroit-style square pizza, 12" round pies, the Sunny Smash Burger, roasted chicken, meatballs, seasonal veggie dishes, and cookies — plus a full bar with great wine and beer on tap. The whole space is family-friendly and our front patio is dog-friendly!

Sunny Hill doesn't take reservations for regular dining -- it's all first come (some come early), but groups of 6 or more can email us ahead of time to check availability for the night. For private patio rentals or full buyouts, reach out directly to plan your event. We run a wait list at the door when needed, and have space to enjoy a beverage while you wait!
