“Oh my gosh!! Thank you so much for giving my sister a great birthday experience. She had the best time and only said good things about the venue, experience and team. I believe she said her server was Kieran. Leslie was fricking great. She helped me make sure Ramona had a great time from start to finish. They loved the food and maybe the drinks a little too much, lol. I greatly appreciate yall handling this experience for me and I am so grateful to be a part of the SPIN family!“

“This place is a gem!! Great food and service! After attending a concert, my friends and I were hungry. They let us in even though they were closing soon. Told us not to rush and just enjoy. The grilled cheese was perfect! Definitely coming back here again!“

“Great place to come alone, with friends or big groups. Excellent service and great drink both beer and cocktails as they have a permanent and rotating selection. Happy hour food and drinks.“

“We stopped in, on our way to Pike Place Market for a bite to eat and drinks. Food was actually pretty darn good for the bar food genre. Grilled turkey sandwich was flat delicious, fries were wicked good. Very respectful beer list, we did not partake in the whiskey, but whoa was there a selection. Bar was clean, staff was accommodating and friendly. I'd for sure come back“

“My only quibble was the 5% service charge which we didn't learn about until we got the bill. It's a practice I hate, they should just price it into their menu and be honest. Other than that, food was really good and it's a nice cozy spot.“

“This place is a dive bar located in an unassuming strip mall. I went there with four family members on our way to the Mariner game (we lost). We stopped here because we thought every other place would be full due to World Cup watching parties. We didn't expect much but were knocked out by the quality of the food. Pizza, burgers, French dip...it was all fabulous. And the waitress was a saint. A real hidden gem for sure.“

“Excellent clam chowder and food.“

“Our favorite neighborhood bar. The staff is excellent and Dan hosts great Monday Night Trivia. They have amazing bands on the regular. A+!“

“We love the ribs on Wednesday but last time they were a little to spicy for us. But as usual we always have a great time there. Love the staff!“

“I’m making a review on something called word that miss riley sad I shood use that wood make me spell better.
I went waif mammaw and mama to see Atal. Aftar a long long day on the are port we was hungry. We look on line to see ware to get food. We desidad to walk to the fire man restrant sins it was just a foo blocks a way.
On the walk we saw lots a reely cool pepal. I wanted them to be my frand. Mama sad they was home last pepal. They got the life. They don’t gotta go to school or do chores or have reasonability. They just get to play wif there frands all day. I want to be a home last pepal to. One home last person had a Montan do bottal and he was collecting his tinkle in it. That wood be my dream.
So we went in the fire man rest rant and it’s sort of small but there’s lots a Badjis on the wall and fire stuff to sea. It was cool. Nobody greeted us and nobody came to us for a wile and then some skinny gal came to say hi. She gave us menus and took are order. Mammaw had a sowar look on her face and so mama ast why she was making a face and mammaw sad its because the waitress wasn’t warring a braw and she cod see through the shirt. After mammaw sad that I wanted to sea for my self. Mammaw wasn’t lying but I liked what I saw. Hubba hubba baby.
The Watras brought the burgers to us. We all 3 got burgers. Mine was good and I got fry’s to. I wanted desert but mama sad no and so I sad I was goanna screen if I didn’t get desert and mama sad if I stream I wood get a wuppin. I told her I had to use the potty and so I went in there and there I met a fun home last person that was hanging out there. I talk to him for a foo minutes and he invited me to hang wif him and his homeys and so I went wif him because there’s a back door that leads to the home last pepal. We went by the dumpster and they shard there drink wif me. They called it wine but I’m no dummy and I no wine is when I compline a lot and that wasn’t complining. It was grape Joos. They just shod tell me it’s grape Joos. I had a bunch of the Joos and after a wile mammaw came out looking for me and she seed me wif the home last pepal and drinking the Joos and she was mad because they waited for me. Then she smelt the Joos on my bref and she ast if I was drinking and so I sad I drink every day and she grab me by the back of the shirt and led me back in the rest rant and we pad the bill and then went back to the hotel and I had to go to bed early.
I liked the fire man restaurant and wood go back again and may bee see my new frands there and catch up wif them.“

“Excellent food, drinks, and entertainment. No cover!“

“I performed here a few weeks ago and I had a great time!! The room is super cozy, the staff is super friendly, and the bulgogi cheesesteak is delicious! I definitely recommend The Brick 😎“

“The original Nordstrom. Is one of the best.“

“the seattle dogs sold out front at the greenwood car show was incredible. I never leave reviews, but it was so great we came back on sunday and were told we couldnt get one! so bummed!
the cook on the grill said she had celiac too so i felt comfortable eating a hotdog directly from the grill! I haven't been able to do that for years. service was great out front! so friendly and fast & what a great idea. I will be back to try more of the menu and hopefully talk to the chef again! I heard they do chef tables as well and I was told to follow the Facebook page for specials and updates
thanks!“

“Wonderful service Spacious beautiful rooms Friendly five star 🌟 bar Easy access to shopping“

“Super fun vibe! Karaoke is amaze!“

“good atmosphere and friendly service“

“great bands on the weekends and fun Tuesday jam sessions“

“Everyone here is so sweet and so awesome. It gives very homey vibe just based on the service. The owners and all bartenders are always so welcoming and it's so nice that they have a claw machine of beanie babies where they donate the winnings to a charity for the holiday season♥️“

“Amazing bartenders and drinks!“

“I love this place!!! Always a good vibe with great friendly staff who take their jobs seriously. Love the big screen for the games and the food is better than most other bars I have been to anywhere. It gets busy if the games are on and after events get out, so expect a little noise!“

“Me and my family visited here after Snowflake Lane last night on Christmas Eve and they were able to accommodate 8 of us. The ambiance was pleasant, the drinks were amazing, and the food was excellent! My husband and I are vegan and they had several choices. I would highly recommend it here. A little pricey but worth it!“

“I don't know how much you're paying that cook at Joe's but he's probably one of the best I've ever seen people would love to have him working for him they are very lucky that they have a chance to witness greatness with his cooking“

“Holy wow!!! The food is amazing, so delicious, and the craft beer selection rocks! Loads of great options. From the East Coast and had to pick 1 place for my Seattle experience. Found this on google and it does not disapoint. Super sad this can't be my new regular place. Definitely head over and check it out. Staff is super friendly and tentative too.

Had the crab cake blt, 1st time having crab and it was amazing. Enjoyed beers from local brewers.“

“Needs work. Can we approach a food truck without passing back out of the metal detector protection zone? I like my food protected from metal. Also the beers out here are more than in the stadium during "happy hour"? Really? Not happy.“

“The Rivue bar us great. The bartender Christina is the best. She is so nice and attentive to everyone. As far as the the grill part, it is ok. I guess as far as bar food; it is good but as a restaurant not so good. I wish they had music to play but as a hotel lobby bar it is decent. Not much of a crowd to be entertained but good enough during the world cup competition.“

“I know a sever there, and she is so warm and friendly,with an awesome personality. The food is great, they have great burgers and pizza! The atmosphere is warm and cozy. U can have small parties there and play pool. If u want great service, good food and friendly service, then I highly recommend Pub 85.“

“I've been coming to Daman's for over 11 years, starting as a happy hour spot with coworkers to now being a spot I like to drop by for nostalgia and my favorite salad (southwest salad). Staff are nice, food is good and it's a nice, open space that feels like dropping into a 2025 version of Cheers.“

“Great family-owned and operated pub with good food and reasonable prices.“

“Good for Birthday Parties good bands good seating good food and drinks and service“

“great place great people 👍“

“Really fabulous folks! They’ve got a new knitting group starting soon too!“

“Nice vibe, sucks that the one and only TV was broken on the night of the 1st football game of the season but we watched it on a phone. There was no AC seemingly so it was super hot and when you’re getting tipsy the warmth is that much worse. The cider is a mix of yummy and mid. We tried several cider flights, about 12 flavors and I only really enjoyed maybe 3? Anyways the food was great, my partner and I tried the circus burger, basket fries and the popcorn chicken. WARNING: it’s not really popcorn chicken. I was hella hungry thinking it was actually gonna be popcorn sized and so I ordered the 20 piece, BIG MISTAKE, if you’re one person, order the 8 piece. It’s not popcorn sized or even chicken nugget sized. It’s like even larger than if you ordered boneless wings at wing stop. Not bad, just ordered too much food and I unfortunately get the OPPOSITE of the drunchies! Attached photo for reference. It’s delicious though and so is the sauce.“

“the food was excellent and the staff are so friendly, I will be back every chance I have to eat there again. 5 stars🌟🌟🌟🌟🌠“

“we were just here tonight. drinks and food were just what we needed. I got chicken mole and husband got chicken chimmichonga. so delicious!“
