Terrible Chicken Wings, Avoid!
I visited Admiral Pub based on a recommendation for the "best chicken wings in West Seattle" from the West Seattle subreddit. Unfortunately, my experience was far from positive, and I found the chicken wings to be GARBAGE. They arrived steaming and slimy, as if they had been microwaved.
The buffalo sauce had an unpleasant taste, reminiscent of cleaning fluid, and the chicken itself seemed old and possibly reheated. The wings were served with only a single side of watery blue cheese sauce, lacking the usual accompaniments like celery or carrots. While the portion size of a dozen large wings for $17 seemed like a good value, the quality made them inedible.
I could only manage to eat four before giving up. These wings would only be acceptable in a very casual, low-expectation setting, not in a city like Seattle in 2025. I'm seeking big crispy delicious chicken wings, and it's disappointing how difficult that seems to be to find here.

Great Dive Bar with Fun and Food
My experience at this dive bar was fantastic! It's a great place to watch a game, with plenty of screens. They have a lot to do, including pinball and video games.
I highly recommend trying Billy's Famous Chicken Wings; they are a huge portion of meaty, brined wings. The atmosphere was rated a 4, and the service was a perfect 5. The food also received a 4.
It was a great lunch spot with no wait time.

Inclusive Vibes and Good Times
My experience at the restaurant was very inclusive. They had a Taylor Swift party going on while Thursday Night Football played on the TVs. The vibes were good all around.

Fantastic Community Hub
My experience at Admiral Pub was fantastic! They do such a fantastic job of bringing people together. The Taylor Swift listening party was lively, fun, and full of energy.
What really sets this place apart, though, is the sense of community they’ve built. Everyone feels welcome, the staff genuinely cares, and it’s easy to see that they put thought into creating a space where people can connect and have a great time together. I seriously recommend it to anyone looking for a bar that’s about more than just drinks and I can’t wait to come back for more events soon <3

Great Food and Atmosphere for the Game!
My boyfriend and I came to watch the Chelsea v Brentford game, and it was our first time here. I'm already excited to come back for another game! We had the chicken nachos with a side of pineapple habanero sauce, which were super good.
The portion was fantastic, with plenty of delicious toppings; the tomatoes and green peppers tasted so fresh. The pineapple habanero sauce had the perfect heat. The staff was also celebrating and crying with us during the game, which was fun with the sound effects haha.
For fellow girls, the girls' bathroom is so cute with a disco ball, glitter walls, and toiletries.

Fun Trivia Night with Great Drinks!
My experience at the restaurant was fantastic, especially during their trivia nights! We participated in the 90s night hosted by Alex, who was a fun host. The drinks were great, and my friend raved about the PBJ burger.
The group size was 5-8 people, and we experienced no wait time.

A Truly Welcoming Family Atmosphere
My experience at this restaurant felt like joining a family. From the moment I walked in, everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming. I attended an event night, specifically their Wednesday trivia, and it was impossible not to have a good time.
Even if you don't know anyone, you'll find yourself invited to join a group if you hang around long enough. It's genuinely one of the warmest and friendliest bars in town.
