6:40 p.m. update: You’ll have to wait a couple more days, it turns out. They’ve decided to delay their opening until Tuesday, according to one of the managers, Erin Streitz. “…we are delaying our opening until Tuesday March 3rd at 4 p.m. Our staff is all so tired from this long week of getting ready to open… we feel we could not give the energy and attention to our patrons that they so deserve.”
Its opening has been delayed for months, but Snoose Junction in Ballard is finally opening its second location in Greenwood on Saturday. I stopped by Snoose Part Dieu at 10406 Holman Road today to get a sneek peek. The ground floor level is the restaurant that’s open to all ages:
And the upstairs bar is for 21 and over:
Both the restaurant and bar open at 4 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday. The restaurant closes at 11 p.m., but the bar is open as long as people are there, so as late as 2 a.m. Like its Ballard counterpart, most of the building materials are recycled. The tables were created from the bowling lanes of Sunset Bowl, and the lounge floor is Brazilian Mahogany from Garfield High School before its remodel.
Keeping with the environmentally green theme, delivery will be by bicycle, but they are talking about later using some scooters so they can expand their delivery area.
The name “Part Dieu” is an homage to the legendary Gare de la Part-Dieu train station in Lyon, France, where Manager Chris Jolles has spent considerable time with relatives.
Snoose Part Dieu has a collection of 650 vinyl LPs (art and music curator Tim Hayes says vinyl gives them a much broader selection of music), and they’ll have rotating art shows.
Jolles says the original name of the restaurant - Snoose Junction Greenwood Crossing Part Dieu - proved to be too long, so they’ll be changing their signage soon to reflect the shortened name of Snoose Part Dieu.

I must have driven past this a million times. Where is this? In the strip mall with un-pho-gettable?

It’s right behind the Jiffy Lube on the southwest corner Greenwood and Holman Road/105th.

Any chance the new location will also have pinball?

Beware–they charge $2 to get a half/half pizza. It’s not mentioned anywhere on their menu and the staff don’t tell you when you order, but it shows up on your bill.

Clearly this opening is a work in progress. According to the sign on the door they will be open Tuesday, closed Wednesday then open for real on Thursday

I showed up for the opening to fine a sign on the door noting they would not be open on 3/3. While I was there, several people came by hoping to check this place out. Hopefully they will open soon.

I spoke to the manager, and the greenwood location is set to open for dinner tonight (3/5). There is no delivery yet.

Stopped by tonight on my way home from work and got a pizza to go. The interior is really nice…I sorta regret getting my food to go. I think they’ll be seeing a lot of me, considering it’s a whole two bus stops down the street from my regular stop on the way home.

We went last night- it is amazing! Same awesome pizza as in Ballard, great bar, and the place is gorgeous and cool. I am so excited that we have this place in our neighborhood!

We decided to check it out finally, and boy it was worth the wait. Awesome pies, cheap booze, fun games, movies and music. And we heard about some upcoming haps like St. Patty’s Day specials, trivia, movie, industry nights… Can’t wait to pop in for happy hour this weekend!!!
