Rough & Tumble Pub - Reviews

My family and I visited this restaurant, and unfortunately, we encountered several issues. Firstly, the poutine was not as described on the menu; it lacked cheese curds, and the staff was dismissive when we inquired. Secondly, my guest with a gluten allergy ordered corn tortillas for their tacos, but received flour tortillas, requiring medical attention. The atmosphere was also problematic, with the TV volume excessively loud despite the restaurant being mostly empty. When we requested it be turned down, we were met with a rude response about it being a sports bar. Finally, as we were leaving, a busser made an inappropriate comment singling out my mother. While the food itself was decent despite the errors, the service was consistently terrible, with the waitstaff declining opportunities to be helpful and instead being rude and uncooperative. This establishment is not family friendly.

My experience at Rough & Tumble in Ballard was fantastic. It's a top-notch local supporter pub, and as an Everton pub, they always show up for us. The staff is incredibly friendly and consistently willing to open early so we can catch the match, no matter how early the kickoff. Today, they rolled out the full breakfast menu, and the brekky tacos were absolutely spot-on: hearty, flavorful, and exactly what you want with morning footy. The boozy Penalty Kick coffee was also exactly what the doctor ordered, cold-pressed and just the right amount of kick to take the sting off a bad result. If you’re a footy fan or just someone who appreciates a welcoming, well-run pub with great drinks and a solid breakfast, Rough & Tumble is the place. It's always a great experience, even when the Toffees don’t cooperate. 🔵💙

I visit this restaurant occasionally. Last night, I went for PWHL opening night with my friend. The vibes were great, and the salad we got was also perfect! Towards the end, a random guy was bothering me, but the server intervened, nicely and diplomatically getting his attention away and ensuring he paid his bill. I love this place even more and will definitely return!

What an experience at this women's sports bar! Hell yeah! The tater tots were absolutely incredible, with a perfectly crisp exterior. I've been raving about them to everyone. While the buffalo wings were delicious, the tots are what I truly can't stop thinking about. The atmosphere was excellent all around, with so many games to watch, including men's NFL games (ew, but okay). I wholeheartedly 10/10 recommend.

I had a wonderful experience at this rough and tumble pub. It's refreshing to find a place that isn't exclusionary, unlike many other sports bars. I enjoyed getting nachos and playing bananagrams. The pub offers plenty of seating, and the servers were consistently super nice and helpful.

My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! Sophia was incredibly helpful, clearing up any confusion about the menu and promotions. We absolutely loved our time here!

I had a blast at Drag Bingo with my friend. The place was packed, nearly standing room only. While I was one of only two guys there, I never felt shunned or alienated. The custom cocktails were a bit pricey but delicious, and the beer was plentiful and reasonably priced. I didn't try the food menu. The staff was friendly and fast, especially considering the crowd.

My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. The breakfast sandwich was absolutely delicious, earning a perfect score for food. However, the service was incredibly bad, despite the restaurant not being busy on a Sunday afternoon with half the tables empty. I waited over an hour for my food, which was a significant letdown. The atmosphere seemed pleasant, rated a 5, but the poor service overshadowed it.

My wife and I had an excellent experience at this restaurant. We felt very welcomed from the moment we arrived. The tuna melt was amazing, and my drink, a smooth and sweet mixed drink with nectarine and citrus, was also amazing! Even the bathroom was perfect, which is funny to mention. If you're here for *the* big game, you won't miss a detail, as the speakers are quite loud for it. The atmosphere and service were top-notch, both receiving a perfect score.

My experience at R&T was wonderful! The vibes were so positive and full of energy. The owner was present during our dinner and was kind enough to say hello and ensure everything was to our satisfaction. The staff were incredibly friendly, and we had a great time!
