The Dock Sports Bar & Grill

Really disappointing experience. We sat outside and used the QR code to order online, something the menu clearly invites you to do. After placing our order, we found out (only because a friend asked) that they don’t actually fulfill online orders properly and expect you to order at the bar instead. We informed the bartender of our online order, and he said it would be brought out, but it never was. We followed up multiple times, only to be brushed off. Our food finally arrived over an hour later, ice cold and in to-go containers. It had clearly been sitting for a long time. When we asked for a refund, we were met with sarcasm and told “I told you this would happen if you ordered online,” which is untrue because we followed up several times. The owner was contacted but just as unhelpful. Poor communication, dismissive staff, and no accountability.

We had gone to the Dock for some fish and chips for lunch. When we arrived, one of the employees had her children running around the restaurant including the bar and behind the bar. Her personal belongings were blocking the entry way as we entered. During our time eating, her kids were running around the bar and causing lots of noise. She had then carried her dog behind the bar as well. We were shocked by this. When we got our food, the fish tasted stale and old. The fries were cold and soggy and none of the experience was worth the $80 bill. Do NOT go here.

Bartenders are so nice and very good. Unfortunately the bouncer was a massive tool. Had a cringe judgement for every person and was being a creep to the girls. Classic petty tyrant. After keeping people waiting in line outside of a mostly empty bar all night, he got on stage and performed War Pigs in front of everyone he had just disrespected. Lil bro needs a reality check as this place is losing business

This is THE go to place! We go to Dive school down the street and this is the main hub we all go to. Great drinks and awesome food Outside vibe is just as good as inside! Love this place and would recommend it always! Thanks for an awesome time!

Drawn in by a sign that stated “happy hour 4-6.” Then AFTER ordering was told they would not honor a happy hour deal due to “special event” aka summer solstice (paying $14 for a single well mixed drink). Terrible advertising and overall terrible vibes. Not a dive bar as other reviews state.

The Dock is the best. It is always fun, the karaoke DJ (KJ Sean) is so fun and hosts the best karaoke in town. The food is standard pub food, but tastes better than just standard! Love it here.

This is our goto dive bar in Fremont. A perfect place to catch up with friends, attend a trivia night, or catch a football game on big screens. They used to have very good fries but made a switch recently. Hopefully they can revert back to the fries that I and my friends like.

When I paid, the cashier decided her own tip of 25%. I didn't agree to that, and none of my friends agreed to pay that amount, but we were all charged with the same tip, and she didn't even have time to notify us. I respectfully asked as to why this happened, but she told me she was charging that since it was an event day, but there was no indication that customers would be charged with 25% of their tip that day, not even on the receipt. I got super disappointed because I ended up paying almos $20 for 2 beers, I didn't like the service over there, and I also didn't like that they sell beers in the patio and let the tap open so you have to go inside to pay. The music was good but there was too much noise outside that I couldn't even enjoy my time there.

Came here for a watch party and it was very packed. Props to the bar staff for handling such a large crowd of people. However are food took about an hour to come out just for the tacos but considering the circumstances it was fine. The tacos were okay and a good deal. You get what you pay for. Drinks and tater tot's were very good and this bar had a lot of seating areas as well.

I got a mule with "one step above well vodka" requested and a double shot, which granted I would expect to be more than the $14 cocktails on the menu. What I did not expect was for the bartender to hand me a bill for $36 (tip already included). I ultimately was charged $37.50 so there's likely a processing fee on top of that. I've paid way less for way nicer cocktails and won't be returning to this bar. It's too bad because the staff seemed really nice and it's a cool spot.

Came here with a buddy for Thursday night football on looking for outdoor seating as it was quite nice outside. The Dock has a bit of a reputation. It appears to have been around a long time, situated a few blocks from the water making its namesake appropriate. A friend swears by it for Karaoke nights. To maintain the huge turnout this night we had table service where about 3 servers would come out with their "toast" order devices and take orders right from the table. Given the turnout for the first game of the season, this was a good idea the problem was that it at times was hard to get their attention, and a couple times when we put in beer orders it took a very long time for them to come back. For food, I just got a half order of the "Dock super nachos". They were decent, but nothing particularly "super" about them. I appreciate that you can get a half order at about $13 but the full probably is the better deal. My friend got the Cajun Po boy sandwich with shrimp and said it was good. I had to steal some of his fries which were ok. Not a bad sport bar, staff were nice enough, average overall.

The Dock is pretty dingy, but that is to be expected for a sports bar like this I guess. I never had a problem with the place, but on my latest visit I am pretty sure I got weirdly uncharged - $50 (before tip) for two vodka red bulls doesn't seem right. I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt, but I should have brought it up as soon as I noticed.

This is a review for the shrimp taco on Taco Tuesday - it's So good, highly recommend, best kept taco Tuesday secret

Super friendly staff amidst the busy UW football game! Had a crisp apple pie Schillings cider on tap and split a pitcher of mango cart beer.

The Dock is one of my favorite bars in Seattle, especially during football season. Sarah, the owner, is so kind and she clearly loves her staff and customers. PLUS! The food is great and the servers are attentive and fun to banter with. There's cornhole to play in the back and tons of seating outside for sporting events. The Dock is a must try!

It was fun but service was poor. Can't even get a server at the bar... on a Friday?! It has great potential but they probably need to just pay their servers more. Really awesome out door bar though.

Wanted to check out trivia night here as we have never been...but the bartender did not take our order after she checked our ids as we are standing right in front of her at the bar...she ignored us and eventually helped the people behind us. We assumed maybe she wasn't taking orders but she gave us no direction and once she took the order of the people behind us we got whatever message she was trying to send. will not be back.

I've been coming to the dock for a few years now but the service is some of the worst service I've ever had. I understand they're busy and I never try to be rude or pushy, but the servers roll their eyes and make rude comments for no reason. I asked a question today and the server said "that's a really weird question" and gave me an odd look. I've never been treated this way anywhere else, I might have to stop coming here. I will say the fish tacos are actually pretty good.

It's a shame. We used to love it here. Burgers to die for!! And the service too is great. But I just spent $30 on an UBER to get here from Downtown to meet someone. I don't have any reason to be up here. I live in South Seattle. Google says that they are open and their own website says that they are open with a happy hour "Monday July 1st 2-6pm" and yet....they were closed. People were inside so I knocked and I explained it to the guy that came to the door and he just shrugged his shoulders and said we haven't been open on Mondays in 6 months. (Then why doesn't the website reflect this?) finally when hearing about what I paid out and the inconvenience caused I just got a "what can I say?" And nothing else. I am quite simple. But a manager who doesn't even offer something for such a big spend and inconvenience on something that THEY advertise (even as much as a credit for a free beer the next time) clearly doesn't care to keep customers. Frankly I am quite surprised that given their fabulous staff and fantastic food that they don't care about their clients. Again. Little sad to be writing this.

I went here for breakfast and they had a kraken event too which was cool, however, I ordered the breakfast burrito which was ok at best but it's quite overpriced in my opinion. It's a cool dive sports bar though. Service is good but I've been to better sports bars. Also there's currently a lot of construction on the roads nearby so parking is a pain.

Awesome hangout for duke fans and for a general night out. Staff is friendly, vibrant interior and decent food. I wish they had more parking available

HUGE shout out to Sara Parish and her amazing staff for accommodating us last night for the National Championship game. She was able to get us a fantastic spot for the game, and were very attentive amongst the chaos of the over capacity crowd. On top of that, the renovations are looking awesome and can't wait for what's to come. FOOD AND DRINKS WERE AWESOME TOO. THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!

Amazing vibes, however during karaoke the waitstaff takes up like half of the spots, meaning you have to wait forever to take your turn. Not the best, but otherwise so fun!

This is a perfect place to watch sports!! Get pretty packed on certain game days! Good bar food and beer!

Waited in line for 40+ minutes to get into a shitty dive bar (my fault). The bouncer acts like it's the Tau nightclub. They had so much room they were just being weird about letting people in. So annoying.

Solid 3.5 stars for The Dock. Beware this place gets PACKED during game times. The staff does a great job of checking on tables and it helps that they have an amazing outdoor set up. Two levels for all your sport viewing pleasures! Indoor spots available, but a little more crowded. Plenty of drink options - beer tower anyone?! 5 Jell-O shots for $10. Although their drinks change depending on bartender? Had a spicy margarita to start...which the first one was quite good. Second time around it had a watered down taste and was certainly made differently. Their food is pretty decent although pretty spendy for a bar. The chicken quesadilla was enough for two people or one hungry person. Nachos are always a treat. Definitely easy to run up your bar tab here. Caution if you leave and come back for any reason while busy...it will be a difficult journey to get back inside. Overall a fun spot! Dogs are welcome!

I hung out here for quite a while while I was waiting for someone. Everyone I met was very nice and they have a variety of sports on the tvs for people who are interested (not me, haha). Great hours, great prices, and plenty of beer options! They even have funky options like a fuzzduster mix of two Elysian beers. Not my thing, but still fun to try. Good amount of parking is available too. I will definitely be back!

For a sports bar, this places puts out fabulous food. Very friendly and efficient service - I highly recommend this spot for good beer and great food with friends!

It's not often that you run into a hospitality professional that epitomizes service above and beyond the 'call of duty,.' However, Tyler the bartender extraordinaire, was simply amazing! He had no idea who I was yet treated me with red carpet service! When he finally realized I was the Seattle Aquarium Scuba Santa things changed for the better. I told him that he's got the remainder of September, Oct, Nov, and Dec to get his nice list completed and his 'music' changed. I used my special Santa voice stress analyzer to ask him if he's going to be nice for the remainder of the year he said he was. I have a feeling that this Christmas is going to be very special for Tyler. Ho, Ho, Ho,Tyler is not on Santa's 'nice' list! The voice stress analyzer proved he has good intentions yet his execution is suspect. So, For all you other boys and girls, you've got 3 months to get nice! Highly recommend The Dock - whatever you pay Tyler, it's not enough! He's amazing - but naughty! Sometimes naughty can be nice, just ask Mrs Clause...

The food is way better than it was when I tried it a few years ago, and the drinks don't disappoint either! The outdoor area is really nice, and it is fun to go for trivia every Wednesday! it is your classic sports bar but with a fun outdoor addition. Like many other yelpers, I have experienced that the service is never a super pleasant experience here. The waitstaff often treats most things like an inconvenience, but for a fun trivia night with a fun host, it seems worth it!

The food here was decent but my kale salad was slathered in dressing when I ordered it with dressing on the side. The cheese curds were good standard pub fare. The options for beers on tap were not the most interesting, but they had a few good options. We came for trivia night (Weds) and found it really hard to hear the host and for people coming and going to close the front door. This was really annoying and would keep me from returning until summer when it's not freezing outside. There were two bartenders working hard all night and they were nice despite being slammed. The small parking lot out front was great for me as there were two spots open when I arrived. Unfortunately for my friend joining me, arriving just after 7:30pm on trivia night meant she had to park about 4 blocks away.

Exceptional food that far exceeds what I would expect from a place like this. I don't normally go for bar fare but the cooking here evidences real TLC. I've had the fried shrimp po'boy and the fish&chips. Unlike many places, The Dock does not skimp on the protein! The fries are also scrumptious. And the kitchen is open late! Yay! The staff are all friendly and professional, and I mean ALL the staff, from the door to the bar to the kitchen, they are all friendly, attentive, cool under pressure and able to put up with everybody's b.s. with a smile. If it's sports you want then sports you shall get. As long as it's not pay-per-view; I wasn't able to see Vasily Lomachenko box Devin Haney, but that was a $60 pay-per-view event for ESPN+ subscribers only, so I cannot fault them for that. I instead enjoyed watching live sumo -- that's right, SUMO -- on the BIG screen at the far end of the bar. They stay open past normal hours when Washington teams play and the place gets lively. For weekend karaoke this is a decent alternative to other places that get super-packed. The KJ is also really nice, has a great voice and will do backup vocals for you. Some of the staff also sing, and very well. The song selection, ehhh, it's just ok. Sorry but if you're serious about karaoke I have to be brutally honest. If you're born after 2000 and know the Spice Girls songs by heart you'll probably be happy but otherwise it can get pretty frustrating. This place has plenty of seating. I have never had trouble finding a spot. The outdoor patio is spacious, covered, with two levels, water coolers, big screens and great sound. When the weather is nice, that's where the action is (big games or karaoke). The fact that it's one street over from the water is a plus; the air is a little fresher and the view is a little nicer. One drawback, for some, is the fact that the crowd tends to lean verrrry heavily towards almost exclusively twenty-somethings. Not entirely, but almost entirely, and sometimes yeah, ennnntirely. I'm in my 40s and sometimes I almost feel like I'm just not supposed to be there. I recently even had one of these kiddos walk up to my table and hand me a karaoke slip, assuming I was the KJ, even though I was seated at a regular table and not at the very obvious KJ station, which is on the stage with all the equipment where the guy with all the microphones seated in front of the computer, introducing singers by name, doing backup vocals, receiving karaoke slips, and otherwise obviously being the KJ. I guess since I was the only "old" guy in the place, this kid just assumed I must work there. So yeah, sometimes it can feel like you've accidentally wandered into a college party and it can be hard to relate to this crowd if you're not "one of them." But that's not the Dock's fault and the staff will always make you feel welcome no matter who you are. I hesitate to really call it a dive because this one is nicer than most. The bathrooms, eh, those are pretty divey, but I've seen worse. At least this place doesn't stink halfway down the block the way some places do. They keep it pretty clean and they don't just let everyone get slovenly the way some places do. Don't expect to get plowed or over-served because they're professionals and they know how to gently handle people who've had enough. Personally, I like that. It's a welcome alternative to some places, if you know what I mean. In short, this is a friendly casual sports bar with great food, plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, terrific staff, and karaoke on weekends near the heart of Fremont one street over from the water. Recommended.

Not recommended. We waited roughly 15 minutes outside before opening the door of the establishment and being yelled at by a sassy bartender to shut the door. About 5 minutes later another younger girl popped open the chain link fence and guided us to table in their back yard. There were in TOTAL 6 people on the backyard. SIX PEOPLE! Why it took nearly 20 minutes to seat us was beyond me. But it gets better, WE SAT AT THAT TABLE FOR NEARLY ANOTHER 10 MINUTES. Not even a hello. Or a staff member was seen. Finally when they didn't show up, one of our table members went to the door thinking maybe we had to place our order inside. He got scolded by the same bartender. It was honestly the worst service I've experienced in years. It's April 25th, Sunday, it's sunny, 2:30pm and you're company is missing out on easy money because your staff isn't doing their jobs. We were a table of 8 industry workers looking to get some drinks and shots while waiting for our time slot at Fremont Brewery. Not only did we limit our order, our tab went from what would have been easily $200 to $50 because you took to long to greet us. Take our order and cash us out. If you don't want to work in the industry than don't! It's as simple as that, but don't take it out on the patrons who are trying to enjoy their experience. Brush up on your staff's serving etiquette because that was RIDICULOUS.

Karaoke at the dock is always a blast!! The outdoor tent with heaters was perfect for making sure our group felt covid safe on a cold night. Friendly servers who kill it with a song or two highly recommend!!

Great beer selection, even better milk selection. No better place to start your evening.

Great bar to watch a game in. Fun Christmas/Karaoke Saturday night. Brittney and Ally (sp?) were awesome! And Brittney can sing!! See you ladies in Santa Cruz

I normally don't get on yelp because I always like to address an issue with the ppl at that time but I'm making an exception this time... It's Sunday raining here in Seattle and being new I wanted to check out Freemont Brewing and catch a game on tv. they weren't showing any so I went next door to the Dock Sports Bar and Grill because they had football on. What a huge mistake!!! I wanted to just chill, watch a game forget about life for couple hrs...I got a beer from Freemont(pretty good pale ale) and ordered a flatbread pizza. Which turned out, was greasier than anything I've ever eaten and not cooked in the middle. Lousy pizza! I started on beer two, took a second sip and cut my lip on the jagged edge. showed the bar tender both the jagged cracked edge pint glass and my cut lip, a white guy, blond about 25 and he was kind of nonchalant about it. Acknowledged the cracked glass rim, halfway apologized and served me another beer in plastic cup as if the first time it wasn't his fault that he served it and I couldn't be trusted w/ another glass! I sipped on that and pretty quickly started feeling like I should go home to use my bathroom because theirs are filthy and mostly broken/out of order! I asked for the tab which they already rang up on my card an hr or so prior to asking even after I said I was paying in cash. So I straightened that out and paid in cash(full freight-nothing comped!) then is when I mentioned the whole experience to my server/bartender. I told him that I was an owner in this business and most if not all of the tab would normally be comped after a guest cut their lip on a broken cracked glass served by someone on my team. He apologized but this whole mess was already spiraling down hill and he wasn't fixing anything! . You go into a place to feel better, have a beer or two, watch a game and forget about life. Truth is with this place is you'll feel worse after you leave. Then you'll better about 12 hrs or so later on your own toilet.No wonder they're were only a few ppl on a Sunday afternoon. What a crappy place! Don't go there unless you want to pay almost $40 for nothing really good but a greasy cut lip. I did gI've them the opportunity to make it right and they fumbled again. Reminiscent of the Seahawks game today. Lost 37-3 Maybe "One and Done!" Is the business model! Don't go there!!!

The food and drinks were okay. They are very busy on trivia night (Wednesday), show up an hour before it starts if you want to get in or even join the trivia. They have a good outdoor space for the summer

would be 5 stars if the bartenders treated their customers with respect. Bartender from Rhode Island rocks. Others... not so much. How you treat your customers goes a long way.

The food was excellent especially the jalapeño chicken sandwich, the new remodel looks great and the outside seating is perfect for games. The employees and service was great and fast! A bunch of tvs and sound

worst staff ever. withheld water from someone who needed it, and seemingly enjoyed doing so. Mediocre establishment with little regard for customers and complete disregard of human decency.

Great bar. Excellent waitstaff. Only weird thing, I saw a guy order milk from the bar.....

Ordered via Postmates, my mistake I guess. Got charged many additional fees from the merchant without being notified before checkout. The food was fucking horrendous. It's almost like I was being trolled. How do you make nachos soggy, and burnt at the same time? Or a burger taste like fish? How much did each entree cost, you ask? $25 a piece. Check out these beautiful $25 chips. I played myself I guess. Thanks for the crappy food, bros!

The food was five stars, the ambiance was four. We'd heard from a coworker that this place was better than the reviews make it seem, and I'd agree. I ordered a turkey club with fries (amazing, served with pickles and just exactly what I was craving) and he ordered the Erik Kobe burger (cheddar, roasted garlic black pepper aioli, crispy fried onion, onion bun; like a fast food burger but in a good way), and also the tots (extra good, well seasoned). Anyway, the food was good. We sat outside in a parking lot which wasn't excellent, even under the "covered" section it was nothing to look at. Overall four stars.

This place has an OK setting but the staff, in general, are rude, inattentive, and petty. They act like they're doing you a favor by serving you! And it can take forever to get a table, even though many empty tables are available! Obviously the management is weak. Also, the food is lame, for the most part, and draft beer "pints" add up to about 12 oz at best. Much better places within a short distance.

I've been here a few times and once for a hawks game on the patio. I wondered why this place only gets 3 stars, but today it all made sense. Came in and started off with a Bloody Mary (8.50) for brunch. We got our drinks fast and ordered right away. I got the crab and shrimp bene and my boyfriend got the breakfast burrito. Then our original server disappeared and we got our food from another. That's when the service got bad. She didn't check in on us (and of course I wanted water) on our food and sat for quite a while for our check. It wasn't packed, but could tell she was busy. I didn't mind all that much but she didn't seem to acknowledge or even realize that we lacked service in general. I like this place because it's not busy and the food is good, will go back but maybe sit at the bar to get the most immediate service.

The Dock is my favorite bar and grill! Awesome staff and the owners Mike and Shelly are the best. Great food and my fave are the cheese curds (Tom). My recommendation is to visit the Dock after visiting Gas Works Park or a UW game.

I love coming here, taco Tuesdays are great. You can't beat $1 tacos. Great food and good drinks. The bartenders are on point. If Christian is working he always has a smile on his face and can crack a joke with the best of them. IE. He will do push ups for a good Yelp review.

This place is a great non commercial bar where the staff is amazing. Great place to watch a game. Highly recommend and will return.

Great bar! Great service! Wonderful outdoor area and indoor area as well. A must place to be when watching sports. Love this place.

Server was rude. When I explained how my order was mishandled I was told if I didn't like the service I could leave.

Food was awful. We were next door at Fremont and ordered to go, do not recommend. Not worth the money, the fries were so greasy they were wet, the flatbread was soggy with wet tomato on top contributing to the sogginess. The fish and chips were so tough they could have bean chicken tenders and the fish tacos were the same. Save your money, and time and tastebuds. Go anywhere else!!

I've been coming here off and on for several years. The food and beer selection are good. Recently I was there for a small event and there was also a large event there at the same time. They accommodated me even though they were very busy. Even as busy as they were the service was excellent. Nice large covered outdoor area with a tv. It rained heavily for a while that day and we stayed dry.

Simple splendid. Reminds me of church. The manny's was fresh and came through just when we needed it too

I've been here 3 times now and have decided I've experienced all I need to in order to post a review. First Visit: During The Solstice Festival. They have a huge fenced in parking lot dedicated as an outdoor space to stand and drink while you watch the festival go by. Great location for this. Plus, they serve non-alcoholic beer which was a plus at 6 months pregnant in the summer. And before anyone gets in a huff over that statement, an occasional N/A is perfectly fine while pregnant. Second Visit: Friend came in from out of town and was staying in Fremont. We came back here to have some drinks (post pregnant) before heading deeper into Fremont - the experience was standard. Third Visit: I went here for a Seahawks game and there was a LOT of seating, community style, very smart. I would have given this place another star except for 2 things: 1. The waitress was too new. We didn't want breakfast and she said that's all they were serving. So we ordered a country fried steak and a country skillet. Way too greasy ... 2. As soon as we finished our food, someone who I believe to be the owner sat a couple next to us and offered them "the other menu" Very disappointed - and unfortunately because of the breakfast we never wanted and SOME unreliable staff we will not return to eat. But the beer is always flowing so there's that.

Excellent management! Had a great time there recently for a husky game. They had great socially distanced outdoor seating and their beer towers are a must!

Came here for the Rams vs the Chiefs, game of the season. Monday night! They killed the games for Trivia! Read this: this is not a sports bar! NOT A SPORTS BAR.
