“The way Ballard was is the way it is at The Viking.”

This Ballard landmark was established in 1950 by Rhoda Roberts, whos picture still hangs on the wall, and has remained the same to this day. The Viking is revered by our long time patrons and is a refreshing experience for newcomers, all are welcome here. We have 12 beer taps, including domestic and a selection of local microbrews.
