Great place to meet, watch the game, have a drink, enjoy some good food, and conversation. Def returning in the future

Great Food. We had the Turkey Bacon Ranch Sandwich. They have gluten free bread option. It was delicious. The bartender recommendation of the chipotle aoli was spot on. Very tasty. They have a beautiful bar and friendly, attentive staff. The Christmas drink specials are very festive. We tried the winter berry sleigh cocktail 🍹 🥪. I highly recommend the food and drinks.

I loved the vibes and the bartender and server were so nice. I am writing this review because the food was tasty but I am gluten sensitive and can tolerate cross contamination. I ordered a gluten free bun for my burger. This bun was absolute magic and looked different than the bun my sister got so I just figured they had figured out how to make gluten free buns soft and amazing. However, for the last two days I have been having a terrible reaction like I had gluten. It is the only place I have eaten and outside the norm and symptoms started about 30 minutes after leaving. I don’t believe that the bun was actually gluten free and now I am in for days of feeling sick.

**Update: as of november 2025 Food is no longer good. We won't be coming back again sadly we used to frequent here. Smaller portions now. The poor Jucy Lucy is much smaller, no longer covered in onions and no oozing cheese coming out. It's just a small Medicare cheeseburger now. Shrimp tacos: they changed the type of shrimp. Shrimp were overcooked. Tortillas and shrimp cold. Tomatoes old and squishy, avocado slices much smaller and older too. Barely any cabbage slaw. I asked for more slaw and was given co slaw. No limes. Boring and poor quality overall. Fries are still decent but smaller portions of that too.
Feb 2025: We usually go here for midday happy hour. The Juicy Lucy is amazing and their shrimp Tacos are great too. The fries are double fried and extra crispy. With a variety of fry sauces which is fun. Usually our service is fantastic also. We have also hit them up mid evenings mid week.
When we came for late night happy hour after a later show down the street, I was surprised it transformed into a busy bar/club vibe. People constantly in and out. Extremely loud and poor music, even when I like a variety of the new stuff.
We eventually had a waitress come over after about 15-20 or so minutes. No drinks offered or asked about. She drops off menus and comes back about 15 min after asking our orders. Then she disappears altogether. We wait about 30+ minutes without seeing her again. It is so extremely crowded I wouldn't even know who to ask if our food was even being cooked or how long. We decided to leave and go elsewhere.
I believe they need to stop serving food by a certain time on busy nights. Or have dedicated staff that just do food orders.
Too much chaos going on. It's disappointing too because the bar has a charming vibe. And this was not the crowd I was expecting to be at it.
We will come back but not late nights.

Stopped in on a Wed. Bartender(s) were not interested in making any money from me. Way too long for a beer, then crickets after asking for a food menu and another beer. One and done 😆

I feel bad for leaving this review, but it must be said. I went here yesterday and got a burger, a couple hours later I exhibited symptoms of food poisoning( I actually vomited for the first time in 6 years). The food and service was good, but please ensure hygienic measures

Last night (10/4), my wife & I were going to the Pantages Theater and wanted to eat prior to the show. We arrived at The Forum at 6:00 pm and were told to sit anywhere. Being Saturday night and the Mariners game was on, the place was somewhat busy and we found a booth along the wall and sat down. Within 1 minute we had a server come by and deliver menus. Shortly thereafter, she returned & took our drink order of a Manhattan & an Old Fashion. Both were delivered within a very reasonable timeframe & we ordered the French Dip Sandwich which came with a Caesar Salad and a bowl of French Onion Soup. The cocktails were great as was the French Dip and the French Onion Soup. The French Dip is made from prime rib, which always tastes better than regular roast beef and the soup was delicious.

Updated my review to include the Star Ratings. We lucked out got seats right away and my Jucy Lucy and Onion Rings were absolutely delicious 😋
We had never been before and seeing the photos drove from Olympia on a Thursday afternoon. We sat at the bar it wasn’t busy at all. Two other tables of 2 people and one guy at the bar. After waiting about 10 minutes to receive a menu or even asked if we wanted something to drink. I asked the bar tender if she can make me a NA drink of her choice and she very rudely responded with “I don’t have time for that so what do you want?!” Food was okay, she checked on us once when my husbands beer was empty. The gal who worked was out of line with how she spoke to us. She got nicer as it came time to pay the tab and tip though. If she continues to work for you acting the way she did, she will drive it to the ground. I’ll finish this with I don’t leave reviews often but felt this was a necessary one.

Wasn't a bad bar. We didn't eat here just stopped here after beating an escape room for drinks. Atmosphere was good, drinks were pricey.

Nice place. Good atmosphere. I ordered the Juicy Lucy burger and I want to say it was delicious. But a Jucy Lucy is supposed to ooze cheese when you cut it in half. I could not find any cheese inside the burger. It had lots melted on top of the burger but none inside. I would have liked to have given 5 stars but just couldn’t. The burger was delicious and I loved the caramelized onions on it but it just wasn’t a juicy Lucy. Service was great, I could have complained to my server but that’s not me. Would I go back? Probably.
