The Roanoke

This is a neat bar with an old, neighborhood, dive kind of feel all in a nice way. It's a good place to watch a game. They have great burgers and nachos. They have some other menu items to choose from. They don't have a fryer, but there are several options to choose from. They have a nice garden seating in back. It's a local hangout kind of place.

Solid in every way. It's divey, relaxed, down to earth, and has a great vibe. The food is great. It's affordable as well and the bartenders are really nice.

This is a neighborhood gem. Let the ivy clad walls lure you in and grab a strong drink at the bar. Don't worry if you don't drink, they have a solid food selection. Their deviled eggs are delicious. They don't serve food on Monday and Tuesday but if you follow their Instagram the owner will sometimes serve up a small batch of stew. Really feels like your buddy made you dinner. You can't tell by looking but they have a great patio. Check out taco Wednesday for some good cheap tacos but get there early because it gets packed!

I'm reluctant to give this place 5 stars, because I want to keep you Yelpers from ruining the fantastic ambiance.

I really dislike this place more than I'd like to. Their beer is stale more than it isn't. The staff is unkind and in at least one case, hateful. The kitchen is messy and the bathroom urinals are out of order (tonight anyway). If this eyesore was closed down, I can't say the neighborhood would be missing much. Hopefully a change in management and attitude will do this place good in due time.

I thought it was okay. Its the classic dive bar and it was in the hood, so we sauntered on over. Grabbed a big old beer and sat in the back room all by our lonesome. Not much for amenities but the beer was cold. We were grabbing dinner somewhere else so we didn't get to try any food. Its a place to get your beer on and say hello to the locals.

I've driven past The Roanoake on my way to the main Capitol Hill area numerous times. The green, grassy exterior always intrigued me, almost like a Hobbit Home. After a long day at Greenlake, my friends and I ventured over to this dive bar.There is only street parking, but there were plenty of spots when we went around 10:30pm.The interior is actually bigger than it looks from the outside as it extends inwards. There are several tables, tvs playing sport channels, and a pinball machine or two inside. It has an olden feel with, if I remember right, an old stone fire oven. The bathrooms and floors are also clean.They had several beers on tap as well as a selection of cocktail items. I got a peach sour which tasted fresh and had good peach flavor. My friends got ciders and IPAs. I later bought a round of Happy Hour Jagger shots at 11pm for about $6 a piece which was pretty good considering they were double shots.The bar friendly was pleasant and attentive and so no complaints about service. You bus your own table, but it makes sense since there are only one or two workers there.Overall, The Roanoake is a quality dive bar and I look forward to coming back soon!5/5 for drinks, 5/5 for service, 5/5 for atmosphere

Good sports bar but they commit a cardinal sin: they sneak in a $1,00 charge for using a credit card. This is tacky greedy,and unconscionable. Why nickel and dime the customer who proceeds to leave a smaller tip? Food is okay and the customers are friendly enough. Service is friendly but slow.

GO COUGS!!! In the land of husky it is awesome to support a Coug owned bar. Food is great, plenty of tv's to watch the game, and any drink you need. Get here!

Menu didn't seem to be terrific, I didn't see chick n wings on it at all, I tried nachos instead... not to bad pretty normal, Guinness was cold.
