The Westy Roosevelt - Reviews

My experience at this restaurant was as a good hangout spot with games in the back. The food was just okay; I got the veggie burger.

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! They open early on football game days, which is a huge plus. I was impressed by the at least 18 TVs, making it a great spot to catch a game. The food was quite good and elevated bar food. I also appreciated the decent food selection for non-meat eaters. The space itself is cool with lots of TVs and high ceilings, and there's even a video game area out back. The atmosphere was a perfect 5/5.

I came here to watch Game 7 and found a lovely atmosphere surrounded by fellow Mariners fans. However, the service was beyond awful. A bald gentleman was extremely and unfairly rude to my friends and I. Upon entry, as we were greeting each other and standing by a table, he immediately yelled at us, telling us we couldn't stand there. Some of my friends left because they were so caught off guard. He continued to be rude to us throughout the game, which soured my experience greatly. I understand it was packed and a stressful situation, but it's a sports bar. It's up to the staff to be able to handle high-pressure situations. I don't think I will be returning.

This is a good place to watch a game. Most of the food prices are reasonable, but the wings are outrageous. At $25 for 10 wings, they were just typical buffalo chicken wings. They only had happy hour menus on the table during happy hour but said they were also doing wings. It was silly of us not to ask the price, but I never would have imagined they'd be $25. Still a cool place to watch a game, but that ruined the experience for us once we closed out. Will likely not return.

My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. The staff and service were great, truly a highlight. However, the kitchen was lackluster. I ordered the angry chicken wrap and requested to sub blue cheese for ranch, which they nailed. Upon getting home, I discovered the wrap had no buffalo or angry sauce whatsoever. Without sauce, the chicken was just crispy without flavor, which was lame. The receipt clearly stated the requested change, yet I ended up with flavorless, albeit nicely crispy, chicken. It was disappointing to miss out on something simple and correct to enjoy after a long work week. This is a rad spot with great staff, but the kitchen needs to pay more attention to the ticket. It felt like a waste of time and money ($40-50 on drinks) to go there, only to have simple instructions missed on a to-go order.

This is a not so hidden gem with good food and lots of beers on tap. The hot honey chicken is soooo good.

My experience at this restaurant has accidentally made me a regular because it's the BEST BAR IN SEATTLE. The food is incredible, inexpensive, and served in large portions. I also enjoyed the great drink selection. The servers and bartenders were so friendly, and the atmosphere was fantastic.

I had a lovely time and delicious food! The staff were friendly and very kindly fixed my drink. They charged me only $2. 76 for a hot apple cider, which was a stark contrast to another place that must not be named (Wooden City Tavern) that charged me $17 for juice. I will definitely make this place a regular destination!

We came in for a quick bite to eat today and ordered some drinks. I had a double tequila and my partner ordered 2 shots for us. After that, the bartender stated she couldn’t serve us until after an hour. We didn’t think that was a big deal; we understand she is just doing her job. We just continued eating our food because we enjoy the food there. However, the bartender and 3 other staff members were standing there whispering and staring at us. We were talking quietly and being nice. I don’t understand why the staff was being so standoffish. I’ve come here at least 4 times before and never had this experience, but this was a bartender I’d never seen before. I asked if the kitchen was open when we came in, and she responded, “We serve late-night food, so the kitchen is always open? ” Ok? No need to be so condescending. I just never had this experience before, but we felt very unwelcome, which is unfortunate because we do like this place. However, we will avoid it from now on due to the service.

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! It's an awesome place to watch a game, offering elevated sports pub food without being pretentious. The cauliflower tacos with corn tortillas were insanely good. They really plan ahead for big events and proactively label TVs with coverage on multiple game days. The bartenders and servers make solid drinks, and the spirit list is deep. The atmosphere and service were both rated a 5 out of 5, and the food also received a 5 out of 5. Parking was easy with free street parking and plenty of spaces. The wait time was non-existent, and vegetarian options were clearly labeled and highly recommended.
