Seattle Restaurants United is a coalition of restaurant owners and operators who came together in response to COVID-19 to advocate for the small restaurant community.  Since its formation in March 2020, SRU has helped influence legislation at the city, state, and federal level to help restaurants survive the economic consequences of the pandemic.

independent Restaurants & Bars:
the heart of the city


Restaurants and bars are central to the soul of any city. Here in Seattle, our community’s diversity, values, and spirit are expressed through the take-out counters, fine dining establishments, and late-night spots that unite us. Each of these is a stage for memories, big and small: birthdays, anniversaries, networking, catching up with friends, chance meetings.  

The COVID 19 pandemic devastated communities around the world. Our local restaurants and bars did their part to stem the spread of the virus by shuttering their doors and reimagining their businesses to try and survive. Too many small restaurants had to close forever during the pandemic, despite the wave of public aid. As we move towards a post-pandemic future, many bars and restaurants are still on the precipice of financial survival.

Seattle Restaurants United is a coalition of local restaurants and bars urging City, State, and Federal legislators to boldly protect our businesses and employees through the duration of the pandemic’s effects. Further, we work to improve the conditions for our members - small businesses and restaurants who don’t often have a seat at the table with policy makers. We work to help our members survive through this crisis, and thrive in the economy that comes after.
