Really excited about this bar the photos made it look good. Really cool vibes and maybe I'd go back to just drink but the food I got was so bad I couldn't eat there again. The poutine was just regular cheese poorly melted on what i can only assume is package gravy, no curds. I also got the jalapeno mac n cheese which had zero flavor and felt like they just put plain noodles in a big bath of medium cheddar cheese and nothing else. When I tried to reheat the leftovers i ended up with literally a half a bowl of just cheese but not in a good way. My friend had the Philly cheesesteak and that was decent, maybe stick with the burgers and sandwiches when you go here. I was going too order more but after the poutine appetizer I decided to wait to see and I'm glad I did. My friend had the mezcal drink and it was very good.Our server was good at their job. Remembered our orders and looked like he was in charge of a large section and keeping up. I think he didn't like me because he would literally only talk to my friend and wouldn't acknowledge me after she ordered a drink. Even when I'm saying like thank you. I am slow at ordering and when he tried to help me pick out a drink I asked him stop trying to help me pick something out so I don't really fault him for being annoyed but it was so blatantly disrespectful like he checked in on the table definitely a good amount but only with her not with me. He wouldn't even really look at me and he asked her if her meal was good but ignored me on at least 3 separate trips to our table.By the way I was trying to decide if I wanted to try the non alc option they had so the helping me pick out a drink thing was irrelevant as in I didn't need or ask for help choosing a drink.Anyway the main reason for the stars is the food sucked. My server was rude but only to me and otherwise good at their job which I personally care more about but if the food is gonna suck the staff being rude is gonna bother me.

.... Don't blow the secret.Crispiest wings in town.Most flavorful Cajun fare in town.Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Happy hour and general pricing more than fair. Cannot believe a place like this exists in Seattle. I'll be coming here from now on when I have a hankering for gumbo or wings.

Had to go here 2x while our team was in town for the weekend! Whiskey selection is amazing, service totally on point, and the food is great with quick service. Gluten free options as well. Can't say enough about Ryan our bartender he was very knowledgeable and friendly ? Happy hour has a wicked menu too!Dietary restrictions: My gluten free friends loved the options here.

I had been here before and enjoyed it, but Rachel’s service was absolutely non existent. We came in on a Tuesday night and the rail was half full, but dining tables were empty. It appeared as if we were Rachel’s second table. Rachel also commented on how dead it was for her, so I figured we might actually get some quality service. My friend decided on a drink immediately. I was still deciding and got some of Rachel’s “comedy” about how long it was taking me. She didn’t return to the table until my friends drink was ready. At which point I was finally allowed to order a drink. I ordered a drink and asked a question about the available food. She said she would ask but didn’t return for nearly 10 minutes. During this time I got to watch my drink sit in the well while she chatted with her friends that since walked in. When she dropped off the drink she answered our question about the menu and had more jokes about how long we were taking. The food took FOREVER to show up, and was cold when we got it. No surprise there. She took the off our tab, but we managed to save some money on the tip. She sucked. Just terrible. Not attentive at all. Our second round took forever to order. We won’t be returning.

I gave this place one more try but the bartender just seems to have a personal problem with me and I can’t believe they still employ him. He wouldn’t serve just because he doesn’t like me. I thought it had been long enough that he wouldn’t even remember me but apparently he does and he’s still hi drama. They need to fire this bigot before I’d even consider going back. That guy is the only reason I have been avoiding this place and I used to spend a lot of money here before this pieceof work

Only thing I like about this place is it’s where I had my first date with my forever person. We tried to go back and recreate our first date but the service is horrible and the food is mid for the prices. Waited forever just to have someone bring us WATER. We ended up leaving before ordering and going somewhere else.Much better places to eat on California!

Fun place for drinks, dinner and occasionally live music. The service was a bit slow but not so bad that I wouldn't return.
