Women's sports bar with great food, drinks, and atmosphere
"A block away from the busy part of the Ballard Avenue strip is Seattle’s only bar centered around women’s sports. Rough & Tumble shows all the local teams — including Ballard FC, the neighborhood semi-pro men’s soccer team — but it’s the Storm, Reign, and USWNT games that draw the crowds here. The food menu has plenty of vegetarian and vegan options, and the names of food and drink items reflect the bar’s theme. Want a tallboy of Rainier? How about a tallgirl instead?" - Harry Cheadle, Eater Staff
"It doesn't matter if you’re at the bar, at a corner table, engaged in a round of pool, or hanging upside down from the ceiling, you’ll have a clear view of at least one of the 18 televisions at Rough & Tumble—Seattle's first sports bar dedicated to women’s sports. And while sports comes first here, the food comes in at a close second. We’re fans of the cheesy jackfruit buffalo dip and the chopped salad, which are both great alternatives to the typical fried stuff." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley, gabe guarente
"For ATX WSP, the duo was motivated by two Pacific Northwest women’s sports bars that opened in 2022: the Sports Bra in Portland and Rough & Tumble Pub in Seattle." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Rough and Tumble Pub, which has 18 screens dedicated exclusively to women's sports, opened in Seattle in December 2022." - Frankie de la Cretaz
