Pogacha's Pub 85

I've avoided this place due to some of the negative Yelp reviews, but after realizing the food is from Pogacha I figured I'd give it a shot. And I'm really glad I did! First off, the service was great. I entered the restaurant hesitantly thinking I'd leave if the vibe was off, but was immediately welcomed by the bartender once I stepped through the door which I wasn't expecting. I then thought I'd just grab a beer and looked for a beer menu, which is on a display near the bar with 20 beers. Granted, most are $8 except for a few which are less, but that's not too crazy. At this point I decided I was all in and ordered food. I knew I wanted some of the Pogacha bread which they make fresh, so I ordered a sandwich which was great. The bartender even confirmed details of my order to ensure she got it right. The regulars were friendly on a Sunday afternoon which was a random but welcomed. I've heard they have an awesome patio which I look forward to visiting this summer!

You over pay for food these days and expect to get some decent food and service. Not here! Would not recommend this unless you have nothing else to eat. I'm sure you can find a better place.

Everything was amazing! Service was great!! They went above and beyond!! Fun evening!

Great service and amazing staff. Avoid live music nights the bar is over run by the pretentious band and a horrid number of asshole boomers... Fortunately live music nights are rare.

Pub 85 is a dive bar with a hidden outdoor space in the back. Who knew! Located in Kirkland, I've passed by this on, you guessed it, NE 85th street, and when I finally stopped in, we had a fun time here. Just don't expect anything glamourous or good food. I like dive bars. I like craft beers on tap. I like sports playing on the tube. And chill people. All of these you will find at Pub 85. We came here on a Wednesday evening to find a late night place for beer and food after learning Pub 85 had outdoor seating. Staff was super friendly and they navigated us towards the outdoor space in the back, which was huuuuge. The entire place was covered with heat lamps around and some tables with its own fire pit in the middle, which is where my friend I ended up sitting. Plus, there were TVs outside, so you never have to miss a game, even during COVID-19. Beers were good. They had a long list of just about anything you'd want. You know me, a true Washingtonian. I stuck with the IPAs, which they had plenty of. But they have a full bar here, so no complaints about the draaanks. However, food was meh. My friend and I had dinner here, which may have not been the best choice. We ordered beef nachos, mozzarella sticks, chicken strips and tots. All of the food was overcooked and dry. Chicken strips and tots were cooked too long in the fryer, so the texture was off. Beef and tortilla chips on the nachos were dry. But the mozzarella sticks were our saving grace, as they were what you'd expect from mozz sticks. I wouldn't get food here again. All in all, Pub 85 isn't too shabby. I'm glad the bar has a found a way to survive during the pandemic, with its ample seating outside. And the staff was super chill and friendly. I'd come back for drinks, but gotta eat elsewhere.

Well I've always enjoyed the food from pub 85, today I was so disappointed in my lunch order!Ordered chicken strip basket, and got three nice size pieces of chicken but nearly each of them were burnt. Then I also splurged and upgraded to tots for an additional fee and got a child size handful of them.Less is more??

I really want to like this place: convenient location, reasonably good food, remodeled interior. However, the service is really bad. I was there last night: waited way too long for someone to take our order; the server never came back to see how our meal was; they won't refill your water, instead they tell you there is a water cooler in the corner if you want to refill your glass; the server never noticed my friend needed a refill on his beer, so he had to go to the bar twice for another one; after dropping off the food, the server never came back, so I had to hunt him down for a to-go-box and the check; and the bartender was snarky when I asked for the pool balls. So if the server is wondering why he got a $1.00 tip...this is why. I have been to Pub 85 half a dozen times, and each time I leave disappointed with the service, and each time I go back I am hopeful it will be better...it never is. I will not be coming back.

My order to go was burnt to a crisp they put it in the box the burnt side down. They knew they burned it. When I said something to the bar tender she was rude to me. It wasn't my fault they burned my sandwiches. And I don't deserve to be treated so badly. Thanks guys I will no longer eat here. And they are really expensive now !

This place is not worth your time. The service is mediocre at best.. the "bartenders" do nothing but shoot the breeze amongst themselves and if you ask for something you feel like you're bothering them... literally. Service is not a priority to them. What sealed the deal on never returning to this place was the disgusting bathroom. You walk in and almost immediately gag from the smell. They have one that's "out of order" but they don't attempt to keep to try to keep it clean or hide the bugs..This was an all around Horrible experience and would not recommend.

This place is so gross. the waitresses, and the cleanliness is out of this world awful. Yall need a serious attitude check and a whole lot of training.
