The Attic Madison Park

An upscale "dive bar". First visit was good but I only had beer. Second visit I should have stuck to drinks. Nacho's were way below what I'd expect from an Ethan Stowell place or any place. Unmelted cheese and stale chewy chips. I'll cautiously give it one more try.

I will give the new Attic 5 stars, because the staff was friendly, the beer was cold, the food was good, and the place was clean. I miss the old Attic and am very disappointed it is gone. I spent a lot of time there when I lived at the Edgewater Apts 5 blocks away. Seems like a lot less seating in the new layout. Oh well.The bartender had very good things to say about the two owners. I was impressed she said one of the owners preps/cooks a lot and cleans the place making it easier for the employees to do their jobs. Always a good sign when the staff talks up the ownership.

First visit since becoming an ESR property and it's gone downhill. $13 for six wings, charged for each iced tea at $3 a pop. Got wings, nachos, and a chicken sandwich, with two beers, and a drink, $115 with tax and tip! What? Also tried to charge us for glasses of wine we didn't order. And they still haven't solved the ventilation problem so you leave smelling like a deep fryer.

I had tried several times to watch a Kraken game but it was always full. Last Tuesday some friends and I were able to grab a spot. The place was fun to watch the game but the food was mediocre at best, specially considering the price. I was disappointed since several of the other reviews said the food was good. I would still go back but I wouldn't eat thing.

Love this place! 'Real Seattle' and light filled bright space. Great food with quality ingredients. Friendly staff and great location. The prices were great too. Best spot in Madison Park.

Favorite bar to go to in Madison park area! Love the homie vibes and I have to give a shout out to Destiny one of the bartenders. She is always on point with service; remembered my drink of choice by my third visit and always give great service.

Destiny was the greatest bartender! Recommended Espresso Martinis and we're pleasantly surprised. She was so nice and helpful! Will be back for brunch.

3 Stars because I'm nostalgic...i spent a lot of time here in college.But I heard a restaurateur saved/purchased the bar...so why is the food not good...or at least better?Service is great and the beers are amazing.Yelp wants me to mention "ambiance" but if you don't know the Attic....you don't know. No comment.

I ordered the burger and my friends ordered the French dips - all were inedible! The buns for both items, while different, were both dry and tasteless. The burger was over cooked and tasteless. The roast beef in the French dip appeared to have been previously cooked and then rewarded. The aus jus was like colored water. I won't be returning - my stomach was cramping after we left!

Good spots bar and glad it's back running.Beer Prices are too high but that's due to Chef Stowell trademark.Food is still similar burger, salads, etcNot open till dinner time many weeks nights which is limiting access.
