Food (7.2 out of 10)
mentioned by 52% of the guests
Overall, the food here is definitely a highlight, scoring a solid 7.2 and leaving 77.8% of customers satisfied! With 49 positive remarks out of 63 total, many rave about the delicious offerings. Guests particularly love the wings, chicken nachos, and tacos and burgers, often praising the sweet potato fries and totchos as well.
It sounds like there's plenty to enjoy on the menu! However, not every dish hits the mark, with 11 less favorable comments. Some guests have experienced issues with specific items like certain burgers being soggy or cold, and fries arriving in a similar state.
There were also mentions of a taco not being the greatest, and a general sentiment that some food was not up to par. It seems consistency might be a slight concern.

- DJ playing mixDJ playing the Barboza mix from 6 years ago and it’s putting people to sleep
- TVsI came for a UFC event, but the place was double-booked with another DJ event outside, making it incredibly crowded with people blocking the screens. To make matters worse, the TVs stopped working, turning it into a regular bar instead of a sports bar. We ended up leaving to find another place to watch the fights.

If youre seeking a high-energy, loud sports bar with a fun vibe and dont mind a crowd, this place is definitely worth checking out. However, if you prefer a quieter, more intimate setting or are particular about cleanliness, you might find it a bit overwhelming.
Value (4.4 out of 10)
mentioned by 20% of the guests
When it comes to value, some folks find things quite reasonable! With 7 positive comments out of 20, guests appreciate that general prices are often fine, especially with perks like a free parking lot and promo on drinks . The happy hour menu also gets a nod for offering good deals, making some visits feel like a steal.
However, the overall picture is a bit of a mixed bag, with a score of 4.4 (which is average) and customer satisfaction sitting at a rather poor 35%. Many of the 11 negative remarks point to unexpected gratuity fees , special event menu price gouging, and surprisingly high beer prices or markups, leaving some feeling quite disappointed with the final bill.

How are the prices at LTD?

Looking at what people actually spend, most guests tend to cluster around the 11 – 30 $ sweet spot, which is right around the average. While there are some options for bigger splurges, the pricing clearly centers on that friendly mid-range.
Here’s a quick look at what guests spend per person, based on the latest 45 reviews.
Comparing value for money at this Bar & Grill against similar spots in Seattle.
Overall, for a Bar & Grill in Seattle, we think the pricing feels quite fair. It offers a good balance, catering to both those looking for a casual bite and those wanting to spend a little more on their experience.

I came to say that I just watched a video featuring the "racist layer" and your bartender. HUGE kudos to him for keeping his composure and staying professional. Next time I'm up in Seattle, I will definitely stop by for food & drinks.
The world needs more places like yours! 😊 It looks like "racist" was identified, and I only hope the world spanks her hard.

Denied Entry, Found a Gem Next Door
My experience was quite unexpected. I was denied entry because my government work authorization ID was not accepted as valid for purchasing alcohol. Fortunately, the establishment next door, Mermaid, turned out to be an amazing alternative.
They had a friendly staff, a great atmosphere, and they welcomed me right away. I'm definitely glad I ended up there instead!

Livin' the Dream at LTD Sports Bar
I visited LTD, a nearby sports bar I'd often wondered about, to find out what the acronym stood for and to grab some lunch. The bar is spacious with plenty of TVs and seating options. I chose to sit at the bar, where the bartender, Janet, was very nice.
She revealed that LTD means "Livin' the dream, " which was confirmed by a sign above the bar. Janet recommended the Fremont Burger with sweet potato fries, a suggestion I happily accepted. The burger was good, particularly the patty and the bun.
The sweet potato fries were exceptional – crispy outside, tender inside, perfectly seasoned, and I could really taste the sweet potato. Overall, the great lunch and service truly allowed me to embrace the LTD motto.
