Favorite Neighborhood Bar with Great Drinks
My experience at this neighborhood spot was fantastic! It has a lot of character, and the drinks are strong. For Seattle, the prices are quite decent, making it my favorite bar in the area. The staff are fun, and they offer events and activities on many nights.

Great Local Spot for Beers & Tots!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! It's a great spot with big beers & tots. The staff is always good, and they offer a wide selection of local beers and regular domestics. It truly has everything you could want. This is a great local spot, and I almost don't want to let the secret out!

Best Philly Cheese Steak in Washington!
My experience at Tre's was absolutely fantastic! The Philly Cheese steak sandwich was hands down the best I've ever had in the State of Washington. I will travel for it again and again! It was well flavored, put together perfectly, and you could taste the love in the meat and the sandwich itself. Beyond the incredible food, I truly enjoyed talking to the staff. They are very good people and made me feel so welcomed. I truly enjoyed being there!

Poor Service, Okay Cheesesteak
I ordered my cheesesteak ahead of time and went into the bar to sit down for a drink. A waitress came over and placed napkins on the counter, stating, "I’m guessing you’re gonna need these. " I replied, "Probably, we’ll see. " She then walked off before I could order a drink or finish my sentence. Nobody else acknowledged me by the time I finished my sandwich, so I just walked out. Apparently, I didn’t need a drink either. The service was extremely poor, but the cheesesteak was decent.

Excellent Cheesesteaks in a Relaxed Bar
My experience at Tres' was surprisingly pleasant. We had some cheesesteaks from Tres', which we discovered was located within this bar. The food was excellent! We were surprised that it wasn't overcrowded, even though it was a Saturday night. There were plenty of people coming and going, but there was lots of space and it wasn't noisy. Maybe we lucked out, but we liked it there.

Delicious Cheesesteaks and Great Service!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I received great service, with a special shout out to Drew and Joel for their excellent bar service. We tried the original and salmon cheesesteaks from Tres House of Cheesesteaks, which is onsite, and they were by far the best cheesesteaks we've ever had. The kitchen staff are definitely pros who understand flavors; their special seasoning and sauce are so delicious that I wish they were available for purchase! It was absolutely delicious.

Decent Spot with Friendly Bartender Issue
I visited this restaurant with a party of 3 for drinks and to play pull tabs. The drinks were fine, and the place itself is a decent size with an outdoor patio. They do serve food, and it looked good, though we didn't eat there ourselves. The only aspect that prevented a 5-star rating was the bartender on duty, who was not the friendliest or nicest person. This was the sole reason for not giving a perfect score.

Great Fries, Cheese Steaks, and Friendly Vibe
My experience at this restaurant was very positive. I enjoyed the great fries and cheese steaks. The atmosphere was welcoming, with a local crowd where everyone seemed to know each other. The service was friendly and helpful.

Classic Bar with Good Sandwiches
My experience at this classic bar was positive. The atmosphere was great, with lots of TVs. Some of the staff were awesome, and the Philly steak sandwiches were usually pretty good. I often consider ordering a version of them.

Great Vibe and Awesome Staff
My experience at this low-end (dive?) bar was surprisingly positive. It has a really good vibe and was pretty jammed last Tuesday for no obvious reason. The staff is awesome, and in my experience, people make room for you. The pool is free, which is a nice bonus.
