Sam's Tavern

First time checking out Sam’s Tavern, and I’ve got to say—the burger and fries crushed it. When you first walk in, you’re not really sure what to expect, but the staff is super friendly and the vibe is fun and laid-back. They’ve also got a pretty cool history. I looked it up and learned that Red Robin actually started as Sam’s Tavern back in the 1940s in Seattle’s college party scene. The owner, Sam, was part of a quartet and loved singing “When the Red, Red Robin Comes Bob, Bob, Bobbin’ Along.” That inspired him to rename the place Sam’s Red Robin. In 1969, “Sam’s” was dropped, the menu expanded, and those over-the-top burgers started drawing fans from all over. The concept eventually grew into Red Robin restaurants nationwide. Sam’s Tavern burgers are 10x better than Red Robin’s!

Fun bar to grab some grub in Capitol Hill. The cheeseburger was decent, but the wait was really long to the point where I was beginning to wonder if they had somehow missed the order. OK blood Mary too, with a mini slider as a garnish! Decent vibes, the place was busy but not crazy. Just everyone having a good time.

This is the second time I’ve ordered the 1+1 deal with no cheese, and both times my order came with cheese. I made sure to select “no cheese” on both the burgers (and even the fries just to be extra clear), and when I picked up my order I even confirmed with the staff that it was correct. Unfortunately, when I got home, both burgers still had cheese. I’m sharing this so others can double-check their orders, and in hopes that the team can take a closer look to avoid these mistakes. Would appreciate if someone could reach out to make it right.

Sam’s Tavern in Capitol Hill is easily one of my favorite spots in the neighborhood. The bartenders here are always on point. They are friendly, fast, and they really make you feel taken care of. The food never disappoints. Their burgers are some of the best around, the chicken wings are hands down the best wings in town, and their Bloody Marys are not only amazing but also one of the things Sam’s is well known for. You also can’t beat their $2 Rainer can from 11 am to 6 pm every day. It is rare to find deals like that in Seattle. If you are looking for a reliable place with great service, amazing food, and a relaxed vibe, Sam’s in Capitol Hill is the place. I highly recommend it.

I stopped by to grab some food, but they had stopped serving an hour before closing. So, I decided to stay for a drink instead. The atmosphere was very calm, and it was nice overall. If you're looking for a place to relax and have a drink, this is a good spot. Just be aware that the drinks are a bit pricey for their size.

Just came in for dinner and had a great experience. The bartender was Reilly and KiKi was my server. Both were outstanding and super nice. They went above and beyond to make me feel at home and the food was awesome. It’s easily my new spot in Seattle. Thank you both for being awesome. I recommend this place to everyone! (And I’m picky) 👍

This is a real dive bar. I’ve met some exceptional staff here, Gabe, Abby, Adrian, Jason, Sydney. It’s a special time at Sam’s, at this location, at this bar. Only now. The heart and soul of this neighborhood. A magic type atmosphere, worth a visit if you’re from out of town and in the heart of Capitol Hill. Otherwise locally, if you know you know — The kitchen back of house and food staff make GOOD food. Quite tasty and filling.

Make sure you read the entire review Staff was excellent. Friendly and helpful. Food was delicious! Atmosphere was funky and fun! So glad to have found this gem! ***EDIT...this has nothing to do with the review already given. The staff remains delightful. The atmosphere remains fun. BUT it has stuck in my craw since we left that night and I'm just now calm enough to write about it. We were a party of TWO. And sure it was New Years Eve. BUT, if they were going to slap us with an automatic gratuity on a PARTY OF TWO, I feel it should have been mentioned. Your receipt clearly states it will be added for parties of SIX or more. Do better. And I tell you what, we were preparing to tip better than the $20 we were charged but after we saw that.......nope. Sorry, ladies. Take it up with your boss.

This has become my go-to for breakfast burrito and a bloody mary in the last few months! I love a good dive bar, and everyone's been incredibly friendly every time I've gone. The burrito comes out piping hot, and the bloody mary comes out fast. I can't speak for the evening/night scene, and it is 21+ only!

I stopped in one afternoon with my sister and a friend while visiting Seattle. The menu looked decent, and the space seemed low-key, so we decided to give it a try. We were greeted immediately upon entry by a young lady who also ended up being our waitress. I didn't catch her name, but she was petite with long, light brown hair. She was very pleasant and attentive. Once we found her that we were visiting the area she suggested some other restaurants in the area. The space is comfortable and welcoming. The bathroom was also clean. I couldn't find the hand soap at first and laughed when I finally saw it with the sticker on it. (see photo) My sister and I both had chicken tenders and fries. Our friend had a burger. The food was very tasty. We all enjoyed our food immensely and had no complaints. My sister also had one of the cocktails, but I can't recall what it was called. The bill was about $80, which was slightly expensive for a dive bar, but probably on par for Seattle. If I ever visit the area again, I'd return to Sam's for sure.

We went to Sam's yesterday to watch some football and grab some food and drinks! Giving this place 4 stars because of the fact that it was a game day and there was only one guy working who was awesome. He was serving people, making drinks, bringing food out, cleaning tables and he was still super attentive with us and kept checking in on us! We ordered clucks and fries and chicken wings to share. The wings and fries were tasty! The wings were perfectly crispy which I love. The clucks (chicken tenders) were just okay. Pretty flimsy strips of chicken that weren't crispy. I'd give 3 stars for the food. Overall, we had a great time at Sam's watching the game!Love the little Christmas decorations they have up and all of the dollar bills throughout the place. Great ambiance here to grab a drink, watch a game, or socialize with some friends!!

Sam's Tavern on E Pike is a fantastic spot! The food is absolutely delicious - classic tavern fare done exceptionally well. But what really sets it apart is the service and atmosphere. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. The ambiance is warm and inviting, with a cozy, neighborhood vibe that's perfect for a casual night out with friends or a relaxed dinner with family. It's definitely a place I'd recommend to anyone looking for a great meal and a good time.

Soooo Sam's ended up being our last bar stop in Seattle and also my favorite. I loved it because they're not taking themselves too seriously in a part of the city that is trying so hard to be cool that it fails miserably. Capitol Hill was so ironically pretentious it's laughable. Ugly and dirty, Capitol Hill was my least favorite part of my least favorite city on our summer west coast tour. I will give credit to the awesome spots, though, like Sam's Tavern. Chill, fun, great bartender, great service. It's definitely a place I will return to if I ever make it back to Seattle. Had a couple of pre dinner cocktails. The Jack Daniels and cokes were nice and strong. There are lots of locals here. One of the friendliest places we visited. I would have gone back if we had more time.

Great little dive, with good weekly specials. We were lucky enough to catch the burger and beer special and the burger was delicious. Also, they keep sports on the TVs so that was a good perk. We ended up popping in here twice.

Relaxed, casual, and quirky place to grab food and drinks. Open long hours. Love to see the dogs drop in with their owners. People are really friendly. Bloody Mary is the best, it's really a meal in itself with all the stuff and a slider (which is simple but delicious, almost as good as thru regular burgers). Maybe a smidge heavy on the garlic for me but yummy anyway. The burgers and sandwiches are really good, bar food but there's some little magic they mix in and it's really delicious. Prices are decent too. All around love it.

Ambience (3/5) - Retro look Beer (1/5) - Felt light and very diluted Chicken Tender (1/5) - It was dry and flavorless, fries were thick and burnt

Security had a naaaaaasty attitude before we even walked in and was throwing some language at us. 10/10 wouldn't recommend.

A classic spot in Cap Hill for bar food, brews, and trivia -- it's an eclectic little spot with one of my favorite trivia hosts! My friends and I usually stop by on Tuesdays at 7 to play. The interior decor is funky (lots of moose-themed decor and dollar bills) and the bartenders are all very sweet and helpful. The food here is all the classic bar foods, and I've always liked it! Highly recommend the nachos, grilled cheese, and sweet potato fries. They're always kind enough to leave the chili off to the side to make the nachos vegetarian. Trivia here is also one of my favorites in the area! The announcer is so sweet and the questions are just challenging enough. My favorite way to spend a Tuesday night with pals.

Always have so much fun at Sam's. Good music, great service, good size and ambience, friendly people and although we've only had food once, it was pretty good-typical bar type eats.

Sam's Tavern stands out as one of Seattle's top nightlife destinations. I make it a point to visit at least once a month, and it never disappoints. The drinks are consistently fantastic, and the portions are quite generous. Remarkably, whether it's a weekday or a bustling Saturday night, I've never encountered any chaos during my visits. This credit goes to their reliable security team, who, in my opinion, does an excellent job in ensuring the safety and enjoyment of everyone at the venue.

Was here last night and witnessed blatant and overt racism. I approached the bar at a spot between two people. Man to my right with his girl were clearly waiting for the bartender to make his round back to serve him but never did. I also wasn't served even though we were right in front of him and in line of sight as the next ones to order. We both got passed up and the bartender CHOSE to ignore us. The man tried to signal the other bartender next to him who basically told him, "I can't serve you cause we work in sections" or something to that extent. A guy sat next to me on the left side and was served his drink, it was pretty apparent that the bartender was not trying to interact with us. This was about 10-15 minutes with last call approaching in 20. The man to my right tried to say something to the bartender who ended up, making some excuse I couldn't really hear and ends up walking off after being confronted. Moments later, security comes and tells the man next to me that he has to leave. It was very odd and uncalled because I want to be very clear that he was not causing a scene, he was loud or aggressive he simply just wanted to order a drink him and his girl and was intentionally being ignored, as was I. Will def avoid this place like the plague since it was made clear that black people aren't to be helped and will get kicked out for trying to order a drink.

Our second stop while in the Capital Hill area, bar hopping. This area is so fun and there are so many restaurants, bars, etc. all within walking distance of one another. We found ourselves in front of Sam's Tavern and asked the security guy what the vibe was like. He said it was chill, and after the Unicorn's zaniness, we needed chill. We went in for a drink. The "Soup of the Day" sign got our attention (it was Red Bull & Vodka that day) and we ordered those. Our bartender, Bryan, was friendly and quick. We sat at a long table/bar, that invites conversations and soon met some others at a nearby table and made quick friends with them. We had a lot of fun here and the place got busier as it got later, so we got here about the right time (9:30 PM-ish). A fun thing to do here is to decorate a dollar bill and post it in the bar wherever you can. We found this place has at least 3 locations, each with a different feel according to one of our new friends. Give this place a try when in the area.

Came here New Year's Day for dinner and there was only 2 people working the entire area. Despite that, our server did a great job informing us their situation soon after we walked in so we were prepared for possibly a longer wait between service. The two men did the best they could and food came out pretty fast for the situation. Chicken strips were super crispy and juicy warm inside (very solid job well done). Lacked a little seasoning but wasn't a big deal if people like dipping sauces. Fries were good and crispy. Burger was average, nothing crazy. Could also use a little bit more seasoning.

I have eaten at Sam's for many years. Along with Tadiches, it has been a tradition for this deeply rooted SF family. I won't go to Tadiches anymore due to the flavorless combo of veggies you get. I just had one of the best meals of the year at Sam's- the grilled octopus, bread, and service was outstanding. What a great way to close the year.

bartender gabe didnt give me enough cheese, i think this experience would have been so much better. I really hope next time the the cheese....will not be lacking, thank you

The bartenders/servers here are legit amazing. There's no shortage of Seattle servers who struggle to manage a few tables; a single person here can manage a dozen drinkers and a dozen tables without delay, which is deeply impressive. That being said, the drinks and prices here are decent, food a bit subpar, but the ambiance is just a perfect balance between laid-back and energetic. It's not one of those places that's going to eye-pop for a tourist, but this is a great place to grab a weekly afternoon/evening out.

Absolutely terrible service. Every time we come in here it takes 45 minutes to flag down somebody to take our order. Will not be coming back.

Ordered takeout from Sams tavern during the pandemic. They have a nice outdoor patio with tents and heaters.. the outdoor patio was packed with people all in their own groups.. We ordered the teriyaki chicken burger and the Jalapeno Reno and both the burgers were really good.. the sauce in the jalapeno reno is definately worth a mention (i wish they had pit some extra though).. for the sides definitely try their sweet potato waffle fries which are so good and their tater tots are okay.. they have a huge bar (ofcourse it is a tavern afterall) but i did not get a chance to taste their drinks during my covid visit.. They do have a buy one get one burger offer on facebook so avail that offer if you like by commenting on their post.. all in all a good burger place to hangout with friends in SLU..

People should know that if you are at a table or anywhere outside the bar, they will only allow you to order from waitstaff who told me they would not do a split check so one person has to pay for it all. You cannot order individually at the bar and take it to a table. I had called ahead to see about bringing a large group here for happy hour, and they recommended reserving a table, which I did. As I wasn't prepared to order food and drinks for 12+ people, we left for another bar. I don't mind if establishments have weird policies, but PLEASE let a person asking for information ahead of time KNOW. Thats what I called ahead for!

My bestie and I stopped into Sam's for breakfast while road-tripping. Paid parking can be found on the street. Be sure to clearly read all the parking signs! I received a $47 parking ticket for failing to park correctly. Sam's is 21+ and the perfect dive bar. Sam's doesn't offer any frills. Sam's is straightforward, down-to-earth and all welcoming. Happy Hour is offered Monday-Friday from 3pm-6pm and Sunday-Thursday from 10pm-2am. My bestie and I each ordered one of Sam's infamous Bloody Mary's for $14. Our Mary's were crazy good, topped with a mini grilled cheeseburger, pepper Jack cheese cube, sausage link, pickled asparagus, blue cheese stuffed olives, pickled pearl onions, celery, lemon and lime wedges. Although our Mary's filled us both up, we decided to share the Breakfast Burrito for $7.95: scrambled eggs, sausage, pico, potatoes and cheese. Served piping hot and absolutely delish. Our server was laid back and wonderful. Overall, Sam's offers a honest environment, food and prices. I look forward to returning to Sam's in the future. Thank you Sam for keeping it real.

A no frills bar that quickly became my favorite. Made a habit in our office to have "Clucks and Fries Friday" every week, and it's the thing I miss most about pre-quarantine life. Staff is great, simple menu, good vibes.

Definitely don't miss this when bar hopping in Capitol Hill! Great service and music, and the top level is a fantastic place to sit and people-watch.

Chelsea (Chelsay? Sorry girl) is my new favorite bartender. As someone with experience and knowledge of industry, I'm in awe of how she handled a lively crew of private partiers this evening. So, I'm a fan. She made me a couple delicious drinks and suggested the *delightful* combo of Gouda and pepper jack for my grilled cheese. (AND all the additions were correct; amazing). Basically, keeping up a great attitude and having a smile for everyone while serving a corporate party is not an easy task but she made it look easy. Huzzah! One hundred and thumbs up emojis.

The service was slow. The mushroom burger was supposed to be loaded with shrooms, it came out with 5 or 6 slices of shrooms. $19.50 for that? Waited 15 min for marinara for cheese sticks.we were told it was taking so long beacause they had to warm it up,it came out refrigerator temp.

Isaiah at Sam's Tavern gave such amazing service, it was like watching a unicorn make out with a wizard! The Rainier's were cold like Sammamish Falls, but gave me warmth like being hugged by a blanket of 37 baby kittens Dear Sam's Tavern and Isaiah, you make me cry tears of joy. Like when I order Taco Bell at 8am. XXOO, love you forever. A friend

A pitcher of Manny's, paired with one of Sam's gourmet burgers and bottomless steak fries, should be on the top of anyone's Taste of Seattle bucket list. You won't be disappointed when you sink your teeth into one of the juiciest all-beef patties the Pacific Northwest has to offer, combined with a never-ending assortment of tantalizing specialty sauces all wrapped up in a hipster-western divey vibe that just screams, "It's a Friday night and time for a damn cold Rainier." (That is, as soon as the Manny's runs dry.) My personal recommendation would be the Jalapeño Reno (with fresh sliced avocado and bacon added on top), for a fantastically spicy-savory burger combo. But you really can't go wrong here; I was a good 20lbs lighter of a man before discovering this establishment. Zero regrets.

For reference, I usually come here for lunches on the weekend, so I'm never here battling the crowds on weekend nights. This place is very popular, and in an amazing location, so it's always packed to the brim with a line out the door on Friday and Saturday nights. The atmosphere is fun and I love the staff here -- they are always friendly and smiley, even when they are busy. The food is honestly pretty good for an establishment that primarily serves as a bar, and it's hard to beat a basket of bottomless fries. I love that they give the option of serving sandwiches wrapped in lettuce (among a few other options that I'm currently forgetting). If you are a sucker for Bloody Mary's, then be sure to stop by here!

20% gratuity???? I am never coming here again. I'm not sure when Sam's Tavern added that but it needs to be stopped. This is your average bar, not an upscale restaurant. I have enjoyed the times I have come to Sam's Tavern and I LOVE the onion rings but now I will find someplace else to go and get that. That's my favorite appetizer to get and I've been coming here since 2017 to get them but now I feel they are overcharging people and I see some of the other reviews have pointed that out. For $14 you get a pretty delicious Bloody Mary (it can be a lot stronger) and veggie option for the slider. The bartenders are always friendly, the vibe is chill and the food comes out fresh and fast. I haven't tried a lot from their menu but I hear great things about the breakfast burrito. It's not a big bar and seating is comfortable. This is your everyday bar that serves food.

Great drinks, great service, great music, friendly bouncer. Much better than the Comet. This is the place for easy foood and good priced drinks!

Sam's was just what I was looking for one afternoon when strolling around. I wanted to sit down and get some bar food, and that's exactly what you get. I will say the bartender was attentive and friendly. I got some chicken and fries, pretty simple, and it came out looking really good. Sadly it didn't taste as good as it looked, though I can't blame anything in particular. The chicken strips were not real chicken and that's mostly what turned me off. Some of the fries weren't done all the way, but fries tend to be hit or miss most places. I enjoyed my time here and would go back, it was affordable and a chill place, just wish the food quality was a bit better.

I've been coming here for quite a while and haven't had a single bad experience. The bartenders/waiters are always kind and welcoming. It definitely has the tavern aesthetic, which I neither like nor dislike. Their burgers are juicy, their nachos are loaded, their wedge salad is well-balanced and I bet the rest of the menu is good as well.

Not a place for grown ups. Asking ID for adults 3 times the drinking age. As a senior, there is more PII on an ID, than age and should never be shared just to be allowed entry. If a business cannot trust a customer who is clearly in their 60s, why should the customer trust the business with the additional personal identifiable information on the ID? And it if the establishment blames the law, then clearly there is a problem with underage drinking there which emphasizes my advice that this is not a place for grown ups. Boo.

Sam's Tavern is simply refreshing. A cross between an old man bar and hipster dufus crowd with groomed beards wearing flannel clothing. Really this place is an oasis from Seattle's downtown core to sit and grab a beer or grub. Burgers are fantastic and come in regular or mini sized. Wings are spectacular but not over spiced, just right for a nibble. But them gem is the chilli in this joint. The chili is thick & rich and filled with meaty boulders of flesh. I was blown how much meat was in my bowl. It's no vegan treat but then again meat is not murder it's a lifestyle and Frank loves it. Now before you leave, Frank insists you have a Bloody Mary, cause what's life without a good one. ( Am I wrong ) However you may order this spicy vodka delight super sized with mini burger and almost a garden salad stuffed into it. Keep in mind Sam's offers a regular version free of garden farm. Enter the beer garden of life @ Sam's and hang with real people, cause keeping it real it what it's all about.

My boyfriend came here & let me just say i would 1000% recommend coming here. This spot is super relaxed, $2 local beers and Isaiah was the bomb! Super personable and friendly. One of my favorite bartenders to date! Thanks for the hospitality and showing us a good time in Seattle as we were visiting from California!

Great customer service great food with unlimited fries when order a burger. Great deal on a rainier from 12pm-6pm

Extremely rude and unjust. After one of my friends waited in line for at least 20 mins she politely asked if she could be served. One of the bartenders snapped back at her calling her "entitled". He eventually called security on her and had him escort us out. I am not sure in what world such a small altercation results in being kicked out, especially kicking out my friend who just simply wanted to be served. We will never be back, restaurants that lack normal decency and employ people with such power ego trips deserve to be shut down.

Slaying it even during COVID szn. The burger was absolutely amazing (50s burger). We were on the hunt for a food burger and our first choice was closed so we did some googlin' and stumbled upon this gem. Best burger I've ever had Brianna - Our waitress / bartender was awesome!

I went here on a Saturday night with some friends. My only real complaint is the staff is so rude compared to any other bar in the area. They called for "last call" and my friends and I couldn't even get a water. They literally said "get out." We were seated in a booth the whole time here and the drinks and apps were pretty good. The staff is definitely busy so maybe that's why, but they were so rude I couldn't believe it.

Came here during a work happy hour, mostly due to one of my coworkers finding out about the bloody Mary here. The blood Mary was a good advertised and if you are looking for a good dive bar to hang out in, this is one of the better ones in Seattle. Our group got here around 7:30 so it wasn't packed, it was a fairly big group of 10 and this place on the smaller side, so we couldn't really hang out on the first floor, we did find a table on the second floor that fitted our group for the most part. There was also a beer pong table up on the second floor so there was a lot of retrieving of ping pong balls through out the night. The service was pretty good, with us buying drinks and food at the bar, and the food getting delivered to us. The place has all of the normal drinks, and the bloody Mary was really good even with out the sliders and other things on top. The drink wasn't as strong of a tomato flavor as I expected, with a lot of good spice flavor with it. The food was pretty good for a bar, and the atmosphere was great.

I've only been here for drinking and some random bar foods. First, can I say that their bloody Mary's are great! wow. It does take a while to order but you know why? there's a slider that comes with it and its a great slider. Juicy and moist in the center. YUMMMMMMMMMY!! and they make their own bloody mary mix which is great! it does have a kick to it so if you are a wuss, do not pass go, do not collect your bloody mary. I went when it was bloody mary hh which means they are $7. what a great deal! they also have $1 Rainier. As for the food, again, the slider was great. I've gotten fries from here before, they remind me of red robin's fries which are yummy. Service could be a bit better but they were nice and it was pretty busy when I went. I will be back for another bloody mary

Came here with some friends on a Friday night. We waited at the bar patiently, never said a word for 15 minutes. I noticed that everyone else was getting served except for my group. People were cycling out of the bar around us, so I asked if we can go next. Bar manager gave me the side eye, so I didn't say anything else. Next thing you know he kicked us all out. Even the guys behind us asked why they weren't serving us, didn't think much of it until they kicked us out for asking to go next... very rude staff. Security was super nice though!

The burgers were bland and flavorless, plus way overpriced! It was so expensive for such a basic burger that didn't even taste good. Fries were greasy. Beer selection must be lacking because when I asked for recommendation they brought me a generic bottle. Honestly this is the first time I've been thoroughly disappointed eating out in Capitol Hill. There's so many amazing restaurants in this area, do yourself a favor and skip this one.

I've been coming to Sams for quite sometime. Cured hangovers here, created hangovers here, and watched countless sporting events. Every time being just as great as the last. The icing on the cake for me was today when I ordered one of their burgers on Uber eats. Upon opening the box and getting ready to indulge into my burger, I looked down and noticed that the burger looked like it was fresh out of Commercial. The burger was beautifully decorated with the ingredients perfectly placed. Focusing on the small things always stands out to me, the chef has a lot of pride in what he does and my hats off to him and the Sams staff. All locations.

This bar is very straightforward: tvs, sports fans, alcohol and bar food. The best thing was service. We walked by with our dog and they allowed us in! They're dog friendly! Instant points in my books. They were also very quick with everything. We got Rainier beer for $2 a can, which is a great deal. They had 50 cent gameday wings, which we overordered, but it's okay, we ate it. We also got nachos. The food was average, wings were good and mostly drumsticks, which is actually my favorite. Overall we had a great experience on a Sunday gameday.

Was in Cap Hill the other day hanging out with a friend, and she saw they had drink specials on their website so we done headed over there to grab a drink. Went there later in the afternoon and there were only a few people sitting at the bar. Bartender was nice but the only special they had was $1 canned Rainier Beer. That's it. They need to update their website. We didn't try any of their burgers, food or specialty drinks like the bloody mary, we only stayed to have 1 beer. Watched the Sounders game while drinking our beer and we were out! Very casual, divey place with interesting decor but I do like the bar top with the pennies a lot.

You have to like a place offering free Rainier tallboy with check-in AND throws in a free camo beer cozy with it. FREE! Yay! I heard that Red Robin owns Sam's, which can be a positive or a negative, depending on your tastes. I think that due to the location this place has some real potential. I love the friendly but gruff looking weekend bouncer with eyepatch. How's that for ambiance? Service seems quick and seating is plentiful as the place is still new. Bottomless fries are yummy, well drinks kind of weak. Decor is all of the place, too. Stuffed animals, PBR signs, carosel horse with helmet, dirt bike. Can't really tell what they're going for in there.

HIDDEN GEM MENU (4.5 stars) Typical Capital Hill "dive bar" with a great hidden gem menu. You walk in and you think burgers, burgers, burgers because that's whats on the menu. - FOOD, off the hook - PRICES, fair - SERVICE, great - AMBIANCE, neighborhood dive bar I have been on a Bloody Mary addiction the past couple months and I am out to seek the best Bloody Mary out there. FOUND IT!!! How come many people in Seattle had no idea about the Bloody Mary special? I had done my research before heading up from SF to Seattle and this was on my top list to try. I've read the burgers here are great, especially the 50/50 (half that is bacon). I didn't come here for that, I came here for the BLOODY MARY GARNISHED WITH A MINI BURGER/SLIDER because you don't see that everyday. I love-love-love this place. HEFER STATUS. BLOODY MARY WITH A SLIDER GARNISH ($12) - it's not on the menu. it's literally by word of mouth. Presentation was amazing. Taste was even better. It has got to be one of the best tasting bloody mary's I have ever tasted in my damn life. On top of that, it was garnished with.... celery stick, pickled asparagus, mini kabob of tomato, cheese, sausage, and then a mini burger/slider. OMG that slider was SO delicious. It doesn't look delicious in the pictures but one bite, it really surprised my palette. I can only imagine their burgers now. Will I be back?! YOU DON'T HAVE TO ASK ME TWICE. JABA APPROVED. Until the next review..
