You asked and we delivered! Check out the best places around town that treat you to free food, beverages, or services of some kind on your birthday:

🍜 Free desserts, dinners, and other food deals-

If you sign up to get the rewards at Hey Bagel, you’ll be rewarded with $5 off on your birthday!

Von’s 1000 Spirits offers a delicious free dessert when you dine in on your birthday.

I struggled to confirm this deal from Annapurna, but rumor has it that you’ll get deep fried bananas and coconut ice cream for free when dining there on your birthday.

Happy Lamb Hot Pot says that if you bring in a party of 4 or more, then the birthday person eats for free!

Over at Duke’s, if you join their email club, they’ll cover your birthday lunch or dinner! Or if you want to share the wealth with your loved ones, you can choose to do free dessert for everyone at your table instead.

Bonus mention: This is only for folks 55+ and older, but Ivar's has a "Carte Clam" Birthday BOGO entrĂŠe deal.

🛀 Soak up the birthday vibes-

Get 2 hour entry to Banya 5 for only $35, not free, but definitely a good deal. And who doesn’t want to relax on their birthday?

Sacred Rain takes it a step further with a free birthday day pass. I couldn’t find the offer on their website, but locals swear this is something they still offer!

☕ Your morning brew on the house-

Get a free drink from Dutch Bros! Sign up for their app before your birthday so the reward loads automatically on your special day.

Diva Espresso is a lot easier to find in Seattle than Dutch Bros and luckily they also offer a free birthday beverage! Download their app to get a free drink of your choice.

Oasis Tea Zone also offers a free drink on your birthday, but no app required for this one!

Bonus mention: So, Sloop Tavern may or may not give out a free pint glass on your birthday. I couldn’t confirm this so not sure if the liquid inside the glass is also free or if they even still offer this, but it's worth checking out.

🐶 Celebrate your furry friend-

All The Best Pet Care offers rewards members a free gift for their pet’s birthday plus lots of other goodies!

🎂 Looking for national chains?

Our friends over at Do206 have you covered there.

Please keep in mind that many of these places will want to check your ID to confirm it's your birthday before redeeming any of these offers.

Let me know what I missed on here and I'll keep adding to this list! Email us: seattle@citycast.fm
