Chieftain - Reviews

The doorman went over and above to help draw people in to an empty bar, and I have nothing but compliments for his hustle, kindness, and courtesy. Unfortunately, his boss, someone claiming to be the manager, was so incredibly and unnecessarily rude to us and another would-be patron. We elected to leave rather than go further than the door. I would absolutely not give my business to this establishment on my next trip to Seattle; there are lots of welcoming water holes grateful for patrons. I will not be back and have shared our interaction with this person with our child that attends college in the neighborhood. They have shared with friends and locals and received similar feedback about this being a very closed door, unwelcoming place.

My experience at this restaurant was very positive. It's a fun chill spot with unbeatable happy hour deals all day Sunday and Monday. The service was great and friendly, and they usually show cool movies on the TV at the bar. I've been here a few times and appreciate the quality selection of cocktails and beers. I haven't experienced it when it's super busy, which I like because I prefer mellow vibes.

My experience at this restaurant on a Thursday was extremely negative. I strongly advise against visiting on this particular day unless you enjoy being stalked and taken advantage of. The karaoke dude is creepy and preys on drunk girls. The service and atmosphere were rated very low (1 out of 5). The noise level was loud, but at least conversation was still possible. We were a group of 3-4 people and had no wait time, with a price per person of $20–30.

My experience at the restaurant was largely positive, especially concerning the food. The happy hour fish & chips were soooooo good! I also rated the food and service a 5 out of 5. However, I had to deduct one star from the "atmosphere" rating due to overwhelming perfumed cleaning products. I really wish they'd use unscented products, as many people are allergic to fragrance. This issue gives me an instant sinus headache upon entering, which prevents me from spending more time and money here. Other than that, I love the place.

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic. The bar was amazing, and the service was equally impressive. I had a very personable bartender who made the experience even better. I also tried my first Seattle dog here, and it was great!

My experience at this college bar was characterized by its greasy food, perfect for late nights. The outdoor seating in the back was a nice touch. However, it gets super loud, especially with karaoke, and the bartenders can get crabby.

My experience at this restaurant was wonderful. Davis brought me here, and the atmosphere was perfect. The patrons were so welcoming, and the scotch was also perfect. I absolutely loved it.

If you're not ready to moan from the pleasure of the food and a drinkie drink, then you're not ready for The Chieftain. Just having their fried pickles are a godsend and their fish n chips are juicy and succulent. The service and atmosphere were also top-notch, both receiving a perfect 5/5.

My experience at the restaurant was extremely disappointing. I was served the wrong food and beer. The service was poor and slow. To make matters worse, I came down with food poisoning later in the day.

I usually watch the Hawks on the Eastside, but a recent storm left me staying with a friend in Seattle. I came here for the game, beers, and food. I was greeted by Sam, a customer, and Lauren, the bartender. These folks were awesome, had me smiling and enjoying myself immensely. The fish and chips were the best I've had in Seattle. I would recommend this establishment 110%.
