Sluggers Seattle

THE traditional stop before, during, and after any and all Seattle games! Two levels of seating and family friendly. All things Seattle sports team memorabilia cover the walls of this historic and longstanding bar. TVs galore, so there's no way you're going to miss any televised sports event even if you tried. Bar food is as expected, drinks are the perfect solution to any hangover or one in the making, and staff is amazing - especially bartender Matt S., tell him I sent ya! Mushroom Swiss burger with tots = YES. Chicken tenders are thin, so don't expect juicy cutlets. However, they have KRINKLE FRIES!!!! Krinkle fries are a dying delicacy in my opinion and I LOVE that they serve them here. Sluggers will always be THE game prefunk spot, after game hotspot, and during game alternative. They are the only spot in the area with NFL Ticket games airing during football season. LONG LIVE SLUGGERS!

So I see so many negative reviews here about certain wait staff and the owner. Service my group received during our visit was excellent. So I would say the type of service you may get could vary! Our waiter was amazing. Just the right amount of interactions with us and was very friendly and cool. We were here for lunch and this venue is surprisingly huge once you get inside. I always passed by this place and thought it was some sort of a to-go pick up place (or a hot dog place) but I was very wrong. It's a full bar/restaurant with lots of items on the menu. If you order one of their sandwiches or burgers, it comes with a choice of side salad, tots, or fries. Prices were very good for how much food you get. I ordered the Western Burger and chose tots as my side and it was stupid huge lol. The issue was... I thought the food was very mediocre. I think the food lacked seasoning. Fries and Onion rings were good but the tots and the burger were just....okay. Also the burger had too much BBQ sauce. 5 for service. 2 for food. This place is on par with Elysian (right next door) in terms of food. Burb's Burgers around the corner is much much better.

Popped in here for a beer before the concert and was impressed. The space was lively with lots of people hanging out. The bartenders were spot on with prompt service and happy to help with any questions. Though I was in a time limit this time, I can't wait to come back and hang out more before soon.

First things first I want to say that I love Sluggers. I've never seen them overserve a single person in my patronage of the bar. It gets busy like every other popular bar, to be sure, but I think it generally does a really good job of catering to its customer base. I found this originally on Yelp forever ago & was surprised I hadn't made this review earlier. Do yourself a favor and order the Bacon Jalapeño Guacamole Burger w a side of tots, extra guac, if that's you're thing! Now, to my gripe. For context read the latest 1-star for this establishment. I wish you could comment on other reviews otherwise I would be making this a separate post. So I too happen to be a Sounders fan and went to Sluggers this last Saturday night May 27 to grab a bite n watch the Sounders Red Bulls game. I was in line to close my tab behind some guy w a friend next to him. I noticed he was trying to pay for his ~$30 something meal w a $100 bill. The brunette bartender noticed she was out of $20s & said she'd have to be gone for a few mins to snag some bills from the back that she didn't have in her till. She literally asked him if it would be easier for him to use a card or if he minded waiting a few minutes. He got offended at the inconvenience of either & started arguing w the bartender bc he didn't like that she gave him a choice of what would be more helpful to him? It made no sense to me. The customer was not a people person and the bartender was trying her best.So I come on this site to review Sluggers well & I see a review from the guy who I'm like 99% sure I was standing behind based on the wild review he left. Chuck, I have to say you can't read the room at all to save your life & it sounds like you enjoy making up stories about customer service staff to make you feel better about yourself online which is sad. I guess you couldn't put together that Bartender 1 was having a rough time during a busy evening night because green crop top Bartender 2 was s***faced and useless. I saw you tip one whole dollar in cash to the bartender that was keeping the place running that night and I think you're an a*hole. That is all. Sluggers is awesome. Chuck is not. Lol

Recently attended a Mariners game and my friend were in search of a place for an pre-game adult beverage. We stumbled upon this on our walk to the stadium. The bouncer outside checked our ID and welcomed us in. From the outside I would have never have know what a cool spot this was. We ordered double bloody Mary's, perfection! What a totally cool sports bar! Wall to wall TV's with sports on. Walls are decorated with some unique sports memorabilia. A very cool 2 story venue that I would definitely go back to!

We came here to watch baseball and the ambiance was great! Bar tenders and servers were friendly and drinks were good. We had the mini corn dogs and patty melt and they were really good. Definitely recommend if you're in Seattle!

Great service for only 2 people working with a full place. Lory is so amazing with a scale the entire time. The Philly cheese steak bomb.

Went to Sluggers yesterday with my brother who was visiting from The UK. The food was excellent (I had the philly cheese steak). Great selection of beers and an absolutely charming bar maid. A very large friendly bulldog was on patrol to eat any scraps which fell off the plate on to the floor. Great decor and a wonderful sign banning discussion on politics and religion at the Bar !! An overall great experience and highly recommended to anyone in the area of the stadiums in Seattle.

Bouncer here threatened to beat me up when I asked jokingly him where the stairs was. He did not beat me up when I confronted him later, but did throw a fit when he realized he was caught. Overall super uncomfortable experience. No jokes here.Edit:Adding more context since I have received two notices that they have tried to remove my review. I attempted to resolve the matter at time of the incident but they were unwilling.Came here after a Mariners game. As I was getting my ID checked a group of women were leaving and were asked why by the bouncer. They said it was too crowded and he asked if they checked upstairs. They didn't know about the upstairs and went up. This somehow upset the bouncer who muttered to my group about how stupid they were. I didn't realize how upset at the time and made a joke about the obvious stairs. This also somehow really upset him and he said when he gets off his stool he was going to beat me up, but more explicitly. My group left after going inside and feeling uncomfortable. We left out the back.I came back later to confront the bouncer and ask to speak with someone. Bouncer refused to grab anyone, claiming he let me in so I shouldnt be upset. I called their number to speak someone, a manager said they would be right out. Never came. Assistant manager came out to smoke and de-escalated, said the manager was never actually going to come out. I'm never expecting a doorman/bouncer to be in a great mood. Their job is hard and they have to deal with a lot. However, I think it crosses a line when you start making violent threats at people.This is my actual experience when I came. When speaking to the assistant manager he told me the doorman had been here ten years and theyve been around for 26 so weren't too worried about the reputation. Now, I keep getting requests for my review to get removed.

Why does a specific bouncer have to check IDs when you have a 2000 birthday or later? It is 2024, and is a stupid policy that definitely turned me off from it. Hey Sluggers, want to know how to never get my business again? It is a slap in the face when every other bar in the area will let me in without question.
