The Angry Beaver, Seattle’s First Hockey Bar, Just Reopened - Eater Seattle

"The Angry Beaver, Seattle's first hockey bar, has reopened after a significant flood caused by a burst pipe, which led to its closure in January. Founder Tim Pipes decided to step away due to health issues and the flooding. The bar is now owned by Matt Baker, who has made some updates but retained much of the original charm. However, some hockey memorabilia, like NHL jerseys, were lost due to water damage. The bar now features more TVs and a broader sports theme, including football and baseball, and plans to be an unofficial Washington State University Cougars bar, while still showing plenty of hockey games during the season." - Brianna Gunter

King County Health Gives Out Free COVID Supplies to Area Restaurants - Eater Seattle

"Seattle’s most well-known hockey bar, the Angry Beaver, decided to close down during the current restrictions on indoor dining, and now has launched a GoFundMe in an effort to stay afloat. Ever since it opened in 2012, the pub has been a destination for both hockey fans and those looking for Canadian-influenced dishes, such as peameal sandwiches (corn meal-wrapped bacon) and poutine (it sold gravy by the flight). With the Seattle Kraken planning on making their debut for the 2021-22 NHL season, the Angry Beaver is looking for some community support in order to make it to opening day." - Gabe Guarente

Where to Get the Best Poutine in Seattle | Eater Seattle

"The hockey pub down the block from Gainsbourg slings Canadian classics like Montreal smoked meat, peameal bacon, and several flavors of Nanaimo bar. But it’s still probably most known for different varieties of poutine, including a pot roast version, all made with Beecher’s curds. Diners can even get a poutine flight of gravy. Open for takeout and limited dine-in." - Eater Staff

We had a bit of a hiccup in ordering our food. It wasn’t put in. Even though this happened the owner apologized and made it right. After that on his own the bartender came up and apologized. Customer service is a thing at this establishment. Even though we had a minor hiccup they definite up for it. In my eyes customer service is everything. They are spot on with it. Now the food…. As of recently everything on the menu is 100% gluten free! Yes that’s correct. Celiac safe and fantastic! I had the hot link corn dog which was breaded in a tempura batter. Hands down one of the best I’ve ever had. The French fries are fresh and amazing!! My girlfriend had the chicken sandwich, she absolutely loved it, she couldn’t tell it was gluten free. We also ordered the angry beaver burger to go. One of the best burgers I’ve had. Cocktails: they pour a mean drink. Enjoy two but be careful they know how to make em! All in all this place is a must try for anyone looking for fresh quality food! That hard to find bar food. If you like ghostfish brewery in SODO. Make your way to the angry beaver and enjoy some even better gluten free food. We will definitely be back.

The best spot in Greenwood, Seattle, to watch local sports, especially hockey. The delicious and creative menue is fully gluten-free, in which the chefs are incredible at crafting. I recommend getting a drink and having a friendly conversation with Harley or Jeff.

Love that this is both a Wazzu bar (go Cougs!) and most of the menu is gluten free. We unfortunately got there when the kitchen was shutting down so just had the fries but they were great and perfectly salted. (My gf friend had the poutine sampler and enjoyed it.) Will have to come back to try more! Service was great too. Note this definitely has dive bar vibes and it can be tough to find parking nearby on busy nights.

Hey now! This place has reopened under new management and you gotta give it a go! They have LEGIT barbecue smoked in house including brisket, hot links, pulled pork. The brisket melts in your mouth, so good! I'm so happy to have good bbq in north seattle again :-) Other menu items are great too. Hook a brother up. TVs everywhere, game is on, hockey jerseys around and other sports on for your viewing. Help em get the crowd going, you won't be disappointed.

I have Celiac Disease and it means so much to me to be able to eat somewhere with a dedicated gluten free kitchen. The food was excellent and the staff were extremely friendly. The owner came and talked to us for a bit and the atmosphere in general was amazing. You can tell how much the owner and staff care about what they’re doing and about your experience. Thank you for being a safe and delicious place for me to eat! We will be coming back!

The food was fantastic! Unfortunately there was only 1 person handling orders for both the bar and the dining area. The bar was pretty busy with the Western Conference final game 3 and the final game of the World Championship on, plus it was a holiday weekend. The server was hustling but struggling to keep up. I'm hoping when I go back in a few weeks management will have started scheduling an adequate amount of staffing.

100% gluten free and so so so good. The country gravy poutine and the onion rings were table faves. The poutine flight was great. The owner and bartender were super friendly. And I caught the sharks flames game. Great experience!!

I've been to the angry beaver several times since it's in my hood but haven't really ate there. I had to do a review! I went for a birthday party and they ordered a bunch of food. Drinks are spot on and affordable not overly priced and decent pours. The food is great bar food. The fish and chips were so huge and so good! The 1 pound could feed four people I couldn't even believe it. I think it was $20. I love fish and chips and this is the place to go for the value for sure. The poutine and cheese curds were great too! The servers were super nice as well for a busy hockey night at the bar. Massive screens to watch all the games. Dog friendly too!

The Beav is back, and the food is better than ever! I had a spicy burger that was juicy, giant and delicious along with perfect, melt-in-your-mouth onion rings. My kiddo had his first poutine and in his words "the best mac and cheese I've ever had in my life...easily." I love that this place is kid friendly and sports friendly all in one while not compromising on the food. Pub food can be delicious and this definitely was.

Update... Came back for the KC NFL game - the Korean wings were perfect! Just the right flavor and mix of sweet and spice. I could have used a wet napkin but luckily for me the restaurant is kid friendly so I was able to bring my newborn girl for her first football game! ...and we travel with lots of supplies!

Met some friends here during the week on a non-game/event day and it still ended up being quite busy the later it got. We were there early enough that we thought we'd be able to get some food in before the crowds showed up but somehow we still ended up waiting close to 45 minutes between placing the food order and getting it, and we wondered if maybe our food sat in the kitchen forgotten for a little bit, as everything was room temp by the time it got to the table. We ordered the Poutine Sampler (beef gravy, beer cheese and bacon, and sausage gravy), a couple Maple Bourbon Steak Salads, a couple Steak and Frites, and fried cheese curds, plus our drinks, and despite the poutine being room temp, it was quite good! The traditional beef gravy is hard to beat, so I'd say that was my favorite. I also enjoyed the steak salad as well, but I'd probably pass on the fried cheese curds next time (or hope that I'd get to try them before they cooled down). I'd recommend the poutine because it's not easy to find places that have so many options, but just be prepared for a wait! There was understandably a wait at the end of the evening, though it took quite a bit of effort for us to catch the attention of the staff despite them frequently passing by the tables. We ended up being there for a total of about 4 hours to accommodate the near hour waiting for food at the start plus another near hour of getting the tab closed out at the end.

Okay ... so my first time here and all I can think about is THOSE WINGS ! Perfectly crispy outside and moist inside yum yum yum ! Ordered Garlic Parmesan with a side of Blue Cheese and Buffalo Sauce.. the sauce was not needed as the wings were incredible! So crunchy with Parmesan on the wings wow wow wow ... The cheese curds were great not mind blowing like the wings but great a better dipping sauce other then marinara and ranch might change that ... they were delicious though ! I will be back 100000 percent! My bartender Emily was so sweet and attentive as a first time visitor ( and first time at a hockey bar where I know nothing about the game ) customers super friendly this bar was incredible !

Went for trivia and to watch sports. Friend ordered the Nashville hot chicken sandwich. It was incredibly overcooked and not spicy. After trivia, the waitress turned off the tv for the game we were watching. It was 9:40. I asked her if she was closing? She said she was shutting it down at 10:30. Still no clue why she thought it was cool to kill several TVs when we were clearly watching a game. Have visited one other time prior and she wasn't awesome that time either. Unlikely to return.

We aren't Canadian, but love both poutine and jazz; thus, we came by on Sunday night for both. Service was great, especially considering there was only ONE person handling the entire bar and dining area. Admittedly, I have gotten used to seeing artisan-esque versions of poutine, complete with short rib in most cases, at restaurants. This ain't that; this is casual, "bar" poutine, if that's even a thing, but it is GOOD. We did a flight with classic brown gravy, curry, and beer cheese. All three were good. I was a little surprised the curry wasn't yellow like the chip shop curry sauce you find in the UK. It was good, though. The beer cheese was the best, in my opinion, and of course the classic brown gravy was also good. They had a decent selection of beer and cider on tap, as well. Onto the jazz, the main motivator for coming in. So much fun! After the original trio played (I think they're there every Sunday), it becomes an open jam session, so other instrumentalists rotated in and played various tunes. Maybe, with some intestinal fortitude and a drink or two thrown back beforehand, I'll show up with my keyboard and play sometime. Maybe.

I recently went to this place hoping to try their curry poutine. After sitting in plain sight for 15 minutes with no acknowledgement, I left. The bar area was full and there was a bartender who at one point came out from the bar and asked one of the tables if they needed anything else. He didn't say anything to me or the other patrons seated at tables. He then returned behind the bar and stayed there. He didn't seem to be the friendliest sort. Maybe HE'S the "Angry Beaver"! If so, it begs the question "What's he so angry about?" People unwilling to work with him? Customers expecting him to take their orders? Not being able to drink on the job? Thankfully, this is no longer Seattle's only hockey bar (It certainly isn't its best.). I give it two stars as I would still recommend it to certain people: specifically those just looking for a place to hang out and the homeless. You can slip in, find a comfy booth, and stay as long as you like. NO ONE will approach you.

Stopped here before heading into the city for a game. My buddy said we had to come and I'm glad we did. The service was top notch and it's a great hockey bar. We asked for a recommendation on a beer and the bartender gave us a great one. Goth Beach Party by Bosk Brewery. It was awesome and honestly on name alone, you gotta try that. It was a tasty black lager. For food, we grabbed a flight of poutine. Beer cheese and bacon, andouille and jalapeño and beef gravy. It was so good. We also got wings which were fried up nicely and had the garlic and parm on them. I wish we could've stayed longer, this place is great.

So, for being "the only dedicated Canadian hockey bar" we were pretty confused when our evening turned into a sporcle trivia events at the start of the second period of a game. But, the food was okay albeit overpriced, but I've got no qualms about overpaying when I come with friends and take up a table for almost 2 hours to watch a game. Sliders were probably the best purchase we made all night.

Thanks to COVID, I have not been able to drive up home to Vancouver for the last year, and have my regular Canadiana fixes. Sure, I can make homemade poutine, but what's the fun in that? I've bookmarked The Angry Beaver for a few years now but living on the Eastside, I don't get out to Greenwood that much. Being in the area one weekend, and hearing they were reopened for takeout, it was like it was meant to be. I only wanted one thing: POUTINE. I've tried what other restaurants have called 'poutine' and most don't measure up. I was cautiously optimistic but also kept my expectations low, given that after pick up we still had to wait about 30 mins to get home to enjoy it. To my delight, the poutine was delicious! While the fries were soggy (because, takeout), the flavour of the gravy and squeakiness of the curds, and the fries:gravy:curds ratio were spot on. We also ordered the Nanaimo Bars flight and boy did that bring me back to my childhood! I look forward to when the world gets back to the new-normal, and I can have my poutine and watch a Canucks (and ok fine Kraken) game at the bar, and experience the Angry Beaver in all it's glory (*cue a Robin Scherbatzky moment).

I've been coming here consistently every week for the last year. I'm not sure I'll be coming back. Last night I had a bizarre and incredibly rude interaction with a (who I believe is a new) very aggressive bartender/server. My party was sitting in one of the back corner tables and had ordered some food and one round of drinks. We saw a table open up closer to the screen where trivia was happening so we went to move. Realizing we hadn't provided the bartender with our cards yet, and that we were waiting on food, I wanted to let the staff know we were moving tables. The bartender was next to our table, at the end of the bar, grabbing a glass. I was about 3 feet from him so it seemed appropriate to quickly let him know. This is as close to verbatim as I can remember the exchange going Me: Hey man... Him: *no acknowledgment* Me: (assuming he didn't hear me) excuse me Him: *steps closer to me, around the side of the bar as if to intimidate* WHAT MAN. WHAT IS YOUR DEAL? IM IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS Me: Oh no sorry, I was just trying to let you know... Him: WHAT. WHAT. IM FUCKING BUSY DUDE. ITS GOING TO BE A WHILE ME: CHRIST man. Just relax Him: dramatically points to the door. Signaling I'm getting kicked out I'm sure that sounds a bit dramatized but I can honestly say that's what happened. I understand that he was probably having a bad day and was stressed out. But all he needed to say was "I'm sorry I'm busy right now I can help you in a minute" instead of trying to size me up like he was going to throw hands. I'm sure he has his side of the story. Maybe he was mistaking me for someone else who had already been bugging him. No matter what, it's not okay to try to start a fight and talk like that. Anyway I ended up just going back to my table and hung out until I was able to close out my tab with the bartender who is normally there. And for what it's worth I had very pleasant exchange with her as I think she was unaware of what happened. The bartender who tried to fight me ended his shift about 10mins later and got hammered with some of his friends. Extremely bizarre. It sucks because I really like this place and, like I said, have been patronizing this place weekly for about a year. Probably won't be coming back due to that bartender.

Staff is great, like super good. Ambiance, totally hockey paradise. The food though. Man. Maybe it's supply issues. But damn that was the second worst pub burger I've had in Seattle. One other thing is super weird, they have a burger that has nothing on it for $15 and burger with tons of things for $15. A friend I was with got the poutine, she ate barely half as it was so incredibly salty. I mean, it's a bar and salty food sells more beer, but come on now. Anyway, burger, it was the most "meh" thing, flavor wise it was meh, texture was meh, bun disintegrated, so that was inedible. Still, I want to support this local pub, I'm just not gonna try eating there anymore.

Please take note!! Great service, great place to watch hockey!! But I'll be damned if this isn't the worst excuse for poutine I have ever had!! As a Chef I know potatoes cost at most .78 cents a pound!!! So $13 dollars for 5oz of fry's is just unacceptable!!! I used to get giant plates of fry's from here!!! It's sad and disrespectful!!

Don't let the name or decor (hockey memorabilia) fool you. This isn't a dive bar. This is a fancy gastropub in disguise. We needed lunch desperately, and we walked around till we found something. The name was funny, so ok, we'll go in. Get the cheese curds. For the love of God, get the cheese curds. While I was the odd man out and ordered buffalo wings for my meal, everyone else had some of the most impressive burgers I've seen in Seattle. They were fancy, but also cooked perfectly and had just enough "other" stuff on it to be interesting, without being overwhelming. The wings were crispy and drenched in a spicy vinegary sauce. They were awesome. It's not a spendy place and won't break the bank, but there were a few errors on the menu vs. our check ($2 difference). It wasn't enough to bother us and dock the review a star, but just be aware. Otherwise, just go and enjoy some fantastic food.

We made our way over from Kitsap Co to watch some playoff hockey with other fans. It might be one of the best decisions we have made in the past year. Here's what you need to know: parking is sparse so be patient, your patience will pay off. The staff is phenomenal. The atmosphere is exactly what you want from a hockey bar: chilled out and everyone watching the game. Order the poutine flight, a pitcher of Kokanee and the Nanaimo sundae. Trust me. It's worth the ferry ride and the parking expedition. Worth every penny.

The food is okay. My roommate thinks the brisket is bad but I thought it was pretty good. The wings are breaded which I am not a fan of. They muted the Kraken game to do trivia which was a massive letdown. The staff were nice in my experience.

I called ahead to place an order... got hung up on and called back to finally speak to a woman who told me they were "slammed" and to call back in 30 minutes. I decided just to go in since I was only 15 minutes away. Once I got there it didn't seem that busy which frustrated me since the woman could've taken my order over the phone. I encountered the same woman I spoke to earlier and placed my order for take out. After she took my order she "forgot" that the kitchen closed 15 minutes ago... even though I spoke to her 15 minutes prior when she told me to call back and failed to mention that they wouldn't be taking anymore orders? Extremely poor service... I think the woman needs a job that doesn't involve customer service.

Tucked away in the Greenwood neighborhood of Seattle is a truly great Hockey Bar with a few Canadian tricks up it's sweater sleeve. The drinks are great and they've got Labatts on tap. Good top shelf selection of spirits with decent pours deftly handled by bartenders who probably play hockey! It's a hockey bar and it shows. But the big secret is the food! Top notch poutine is not to be missed here. 4 different kinds of gravy are available- traditional beef, mushroom, curry and country style. Glorious gravy, cheese curds sit atop perfect french fries that are crispy with the skins on and still have the desired mashed potato texture inside! The burgers are huge and excellent but I'd opt for their rendition of french dip with ciabatta. Service is excellent but, be warned, it does get busy when there's hockey games on. Wear your favorite hockey team jersey or hat and you'll have a new set of friends for the next hour or two.

Absolute horrid food!!!! Their favorite tean must be the Oilers, because they never change it. Had burger and fries, my son had wings, all you could taste is the oil. Recommendation, eat somewhere else, the come to watch game and have beers! The fish and chips so soggy and greasy, they took it off menu

This bar always has solid draft options, solid games playing on TV, and an overall great atmosphere on top of the amazing poutine. The street hockey in the back alley is the best part. Even during Covid, they maintained their amazing atmosphere and just now finding out their Jazz nights and trivia nights - even better!

The Angry Beaver is getting 5 stars because it is exactly what it sets out to be, a canadian hockey bar with dope poutine. I love to come in with my pooch and watch some sports on ice, have the best poutine in Seattle, and a labatt blue. Shout outs- the amazing poutine, friendly and funny bartenders, bomb ginger beef, realy good chicken tenders, labatt, lots of big tvs, dogs. Could use some work - I've had my food take a long time a couple of times, seemed like there was a miscommunication with the kitchen. I've had one bartender who was in a pretty bad mood once, coulda just been a shitty day though.

This place is severely underrated. Very chill atmosphere, best poutine I've had so far in Seattle (the curry is the best! But if I can't convince you get the flight including it to find out ;). They have really great friendly service, always down to give a beer recommendation and quick service. My favorite part is the FREE pool and shuffle board!

Hockey fans, look no further. After calling bar after bar to find SOMEONE in the vicinity with the Shark's game on, Yelp gave me The Angry Beaver. LOVE YOU, YELP. The poutine flight was good, decent selection of beer, and plenty of TV's for the watching. The owner Tim was at the bar when I was in, and he's awesome - attentive but not overbearing, and genuinely seemed to care about the customer experience of every person who walked through his door. It's nice to have a bar dedicated to hockey and I will definitely be back for more. As far as the other reviews go, the customer service was great when I went, the poutine yummy, the TV's clear and in HD, and if you're at all curious about this place I suggest you check it out for yourself.

TL;DR - Good value, good pub grub food, noisy and very slow service. This place promotes itself as Seattle's only Hockey bar. I guess the Hockey Jerseys on the wall, 6 TVs and projection screen make it a "Hockey Bar". They do get props for recognizing Seattle's past Hockey Teams, including the Totems. Seating is very limited as is typical for Seattle establishments and it is seat yourself. When we arrived, the place was PACKED with people watching the earlier games. The noise level is high, even for a sports bar and NONE of the TVs have their volume on. When we arrived, the bartender covered a pool table with plywood to make an extra table but he automatically put on the Vegas Golden Knights after seeing our hats. Figuring that was a good sign, we sat down and ordered a pitcher of beer. The beers on tap are inkjet printed signs above the bar, but I don't need a pretentious bar so that is fine. Three times people asked to sit down at our "table", include a party of 6 at the opposite end. This has happened to us several times in Seattle, so it must just be a thing there. The food was good, but the service was incredibly slow. We started with Poutine fries ($10) and fish & chips ($18). The fries came out quickly enough and were hot and tasty. The fish & chips was advertised as halibut, but cod was being substituted for a slight price reduction. The fish & chips never came out to the "table" and the order needed to be placed again. Once it finally came out it was hot, crisp and not greasy - everything you want from fish & chips. We also placed an order for their Montreal Smoked Meat Sandwich (Corned Beef) which took 30+ minutes to arrive. The server did give us one update, but this placed is way understaffed. Once it arrived, it was also hot, tasty and served with "Montreal coleslaw" or cabbage dressed with Italian dressing. Overall, if you want to watch Hockey this is one of your few choices. The prices weren't bad, especially for Seattle and 2 pitchers of beer, two dinners and an appetizer was $85 including tax. While they desperately need a competitor or two, I would likely return to the Angry Beaver the next time I'm in Seattle and want to watch the Vegas Golden Knights.

Made another trip to the Angry Beaver last night. Again, loved it! Food was killer, again. I had the chipotle Ribeye sandwich (think that's what it's called). Sandwich was incredible the fries were hot and really good. Lot of good local beers on tab, with a very knowledgeable bartender to explain what's what. They had hockey and Olympic on the TVs, pool table and shovelboard games going on. Just a fun atmosphere. If your in Greenwood and your not looking for something fancy, but you want really good food and a fun atmosphere, the Angry Beaver is your Spot!

Last year I enjoyed this bar for the hockey environment and went a handful of times. However, I went recently and it changed my mind if I'd bother to come back. First, the food quality is decent and they have a good selection of beers, especially Canadian beers if you are in the mood. They have poutine too which is nice since it's hard to find in the US. Price is reasonable. Second, it's a fun environment for watching hockey. The people get into it and you know they'll always have the games on, even minor league if you request it. Now the reason I'm giving this bar two stars is due to my recent experience. I invited a group out and we got there before our game started. We picked a table nearest the big screen because they were showing the pregame to the game we wanted. They then changed the sceen to a different game which left half of the table with a horrible view on other TVs. Early on in the game we asked if they could change the big screen back, mostly due to the fact that the majority of the bar was watching the game we wanted and only a few in the back were watching the one on the big screen. We figured they could change a few of the other TVs for the back table to accommodate them. Well they responded that their "policy" is that they don't change games once they've started due to people picking tables based on viewing. I'm sure you can see where this is going. So when our waitress returned we asked about that policy again and then pointed out how they didn't even follow their own policy which had left us screwed over since we had picked a spot where we could all originally see the game. We were very polite in all of this but just wanted to make our case. Well our waitress responded very tactlessly and short. We were all taken aback by how hostile she was given how were trying to be polite. She basically was like "well we can keep arguing about this for 20 minutes, but how about we just order some food and drinks and have a good time. I can come back later if you all want to cool off first and get out of your funk." We almost left after that but figured at that point it might be hard to find a place showing the game nearby. I doubt I'll be back now. I'll find a new bar to watch hockey. Maybe this bar should actually follow their own policy like they claimed or be more accomodating when 75% of the bar is trying to watch the same game.

Went here on a rainy day right as they opened and purchased the Poutine Flight. It comes with a huge portion of fries, curds, and three sides of gravy. It was all so great. The curry gravy is a creative spin for gravy and the flavor is explosive. I loved the mushroom gravy - it was thick and tasted like the gravy my grandpa would make when I was a child. As for the fried cheese curds? Yes. Just yes. You can't go wrong with battered and fried cheese paired with cold ranch. Mmmm. I didn't give a 5 star on this one just because they were out of lids so they had to wrap my gravy cups in foil and Saran Wrap. The price is also pretty steep. $25+ for two items is a little out of my price range, but it was still well made!

Ordered via Doordash. Poutine and cheese curds were cold, congealed, inedible. Order sent with wrong gravy. Taxes and fees added over $20 to a $46 order travelling less than a mile. Not doing takeout from here again. Threw almost everything in the trash.

Ok beer selection, and liquor selection. Lots of good TVs and a larger projection onto the back wall. Fun decor of hockey sweaters and memorabilia. We'll be back.

This place immediately leaps to the top of the list as the premiere hockey bar in Seattle, without a doubt. No one else is trying even remotely as hard to court the hockey fan as the Angry Beaver is. If you need a spot to watch hockey, you can round up the star rating, or you can just skip that and come in for the game. Odds are they will have it on one of the many big flat screens--even if there are several games happening at once. If you're looking for live music or food and drinks, the experience may seem a bit more uneven. It's definitely not bad, but they're not really pushing to be amazing in any way other than in entertaining the hockey fan. We came in on a rainy Saturday night to watch the Hawks game after the windstorm knocked out our power at home. We had fun and will certainly come back for hockey. It's a good-sized space; you might remember it was a medium-sized restaurant before. There's a long bar on the left and maybe a couple dozen tables on the right. The big windows facing Greenwood Ave all open so there's plenty of air, weather permitting. On the bar side, there are more tables, and a long raised shuffleboard table. There are big flat screen TVs everywhere, tuned to the game. Have I mentioned this is a good place to watch sports? The staff here are young and funny; they're all outgoing and they know some good jokes. They sling a lot of basic mixed drinks and an awful lot of shots. Quite a few broskis in here shooting back the booze, at least on Saturday night. There are about a dozen taps, but they're essentially meaningless for a big beer lover. You can find decent beer for sure, but the pints we drank were a bit under-carbonated and maybe not the freshest. They don't turn kegs over quickly, if those pours were any indication. The menu is brief; about 4 short pages of burgers, sandwiches, salads, and fried stuff. The menus themselves are old, tattered, and torn. They'll serve food, but you get the sense that people memorize what they want pretty quickly, and the physical menus are kind of a fallback mechanism they keep around mainly for newer customers. This place is only a couple years old, but the menus look ancient already. The food itself is OK. We had an Angry Burger, advertised as containing ghost pepper sauce and other intense spices. It had some kick to it, but overall it was just a basic burger--it was trying to disintegrate before I was half done. We also had chicken strips (basically just microwaved frozen chicken strips with some hot sauce on them) and the poutine. The poutine is *rad* rad rad, but super salty. We had it with the turkey gravy, which was delicious, but it sounds like the curry might be even better. As the night went on, a fairly competent cover band set up (took them about an hour to plug in) and started playing. They got a bustling crowd for it--they really started slinging some shots when the music crowd walked in. At this point, our service basically disappeared. It took half an hour to close our tab. Our bartender wandered by with the ice bucket, trays of drinks, and other assorted orders and sidework several times, with no chance to get her attention. A trainee finally rang us out. They definitely go into live music mode past a certain hour on the weekends, it seems--placing our food order was like pulling fingernails; the bartender was so eager to write up the ticket and get it to the kitchen that every question we asked made her clearly want to punch us in the face. I'd prefer to have gone over 15% at the end of the night just on the chance that this might become a regular stop, but it looks more likely to be a landing zone for groups of people when hockey's on.

Do not order thru Door Dash!!! Food showed up cold, overly greasy & missing items. Here are my $14 Cheese Curds! *Don't even get me started on the cold $17 Poutane fries that came with runny mushroom gravy, instead of the hearty beef gravy that was ordered.

If you have a need for hockey in your life, and don't mind a rowdy atmosphere, you're not going to find a better bar in Seattle to get your hockey fix!

I went here to watch a Rangers game while I was on vacation. When I got there I asked the bartender what TV I could watch the game on (there are several) because I wanted to get the best seat in front of that TV. She replied that she hadn't thought about it yet. Damn! So I sat at the bar and later she offered to turn the bar TV to that game, so that was nice. I got to watch the whole game and I had the fish and chips, lots of beer, and the Nanaimo sundae, which was a regular sundae with a yummy Nanaimo bar stuck in the bowl. Good service and a good place to watch hockey.

I came here 1 time for takeout, and I was pleasantly surprised at how delicious their food is, so I come in from time to time to get take out! The owner is fantastic and goes out of his way to help with whatever you need---very conscientious and cares about his customers! I really like their fish and chips! I'll be back!
