1000000/10. We stopped into Admiral Pub after having brunch across the street because we just barely saw the inside and decided it was a VIBE. And guess what? It WAS. Pink fuzzy rug greeted us upon walking in as well as some vibrant tinsel. Vibes on 10. This spot is very LGBTQIA friendly and it's obvious the second you walk in - green flag!!!! Not knowing that they were doing sing along brunch, we came in here just for drinks. Would love to try the food in the future though! As we were cheersing, the DJ and obvious bar partner Richard, came over to us and demanded to take a shot with us. He made our god damn DAYYYYY. Richard chatted with us, joked with us, bought me a birthday shot, and literally just felt like a true genuine friend. We live in Tacoma but Admiral Pub has a regular in me all because of Richard. He is the BEST. Richard + Admiral Pub, thank you for a fantastic spontaneous outing. We will 100% be back. read more

Order anything and everything except the wings. Dope local spot. Lots of pinball. Events almost every night - karaoke, trivia, bingo, etc. Fabulous host full of fun and charisma. Drink specials are worth noting too. The Pomakazi is as a hit with my table. The burger sliders were also top notch! Beers and shots are plentiful. Lots of n/a brew options. And like 20 freakin pinball machines. However, the wings were a huge bummer. They don't have a fryer, so I get that you gotta do what you can. But I have never once in my life had a baked chicken wing that I loved. Soggy and sad at worst. Adequate at best. IMO just nix them from the menu and stick to the things that you can deliver on. Only reason for less than 5 stars. read more

I was invited to a birthday celebration here this week. Being new to Seattle, I was super excited to check out a new spot.... and this place is now one of my faves ! Comfortable, just loud enough, and full of game and drink options. Also: BEST SEATTLE DOG ever! Decadent and delicious - and served with a smile. I will be back for the food and the fun. I've heard about a super amazing Saturday AND Sunday Sing along Brunch??? Meet me there .... read more

Service is fast and friendly. The drinks are well priced. The food is pretty dang tasty given that it's a small little pub. This is a fun place to come and watch a game. Especially a great vibe for a Manchester United Game. They open early for almost all of the games and put it on the big screen with audio throughout so that there is not a bad seat in the house. Everyone is friendly. This place can be either slammed or empty depending on what event is going on, but overall, is a good pub in west seattle to come, hangout, watch some games, grab some grab, and play some pinball or other games. They have a pretty busy and full calendar, so always good to see what they have going on each week. Fun place, and has a lot more to offer than your standard bar/pub. read more

I've only been to Admiral Pub for their Rocky Horror Picture Show viewing parties, but enjoyed the two times I've been. The hosts are fun and the bar goes a good job setting up the TVs, audio, tables, and props to help with the riffing. There are also themed drinks. In terms of food, the chili nachos and sliders are pretty good although simple like sports bar food would be. read more

Best dive bar in west Seattle. 21 pinball machines, darts, golden tee, and a claw machine to keep you occupied. Great selection of beer and especially cider! read more

6 stars, worthy of traveling to as a destination with 20 pinball machines! The friendly customer service from the various bartenders is excellent! Super bonus points because they have Touchtunes modern tunebox junebox, which means that you also get to select and enjoy favorite ambient music while playing awesome pinball! Would most certainly highly recommend! read more

Are you FREAKING kidding me? A local "dive bar" / "sports bar" has NO deep fat oil cooker here! Wings and pork, are SMOKED in house by one of the owners special recipes. The taste is beyond amazing. Many fun events and specials throughout the week . Pinball, trivia, BINGO, and many sports events and more! read more

First time here and was disappointed in the bad service and absolutely terrible food. The meatballs in my meatball sub tasted like they were overcooked in a microwave. I spent $15+ on an inedible sandwich. The bingo was fun at least and I'm sure it's a fun place to watch a game. read more

My 5 stars is based on location, good vibes, good music, kind staff, great drinks and amazing pinball selection. Didn't try the food but I'd come back for all the other stuff hands-down. Great spot!!!! read more

Why is all the staff so rude. I probably shouldn't have tipped. The bar back was cool though

I live on the Eastside but make an effort to come here whenever I can. Between the outgoing and gregarious owners, the amazing chicken wings and burgers (both available gluten free I'd requested), awesome bartenders, and an amazing kitchen staff and patrons who treat you like you are going into the bar "Cheers" - you know, sometimes you wanna go where everybody knows your name... and their always glad you came ... This place is superbly one part sports bar, one part local cool dive, slowly becoming a corner stone in the LGBTQ+ family, as well as having tons of sweet pinball games, karaoke, darts, and trivia it's hard to have a bad time here. Support small business! Long live Admiral Pub! read more

I am a new to the West Seattle area. The Admiral Pub is a welcoming environment with an excellent team to greet you and provide you a true WSeattle experience! Good bar fare and quality experience. Great happy hour. Check out the menu beforehand so you know what to expect. What they do serve is tasty and prices are reasonable. Love to bring my (adult) family and friends here when they come in town for a visit as it provides fun for all with ski ball, sports coverage on the big screens and the most excellent array of pinball machines! I hear the trivia and other events are super engaging and fun too! Good chill people, good chill time. If you are visiting West Seattle or Alki, stop by and check it out. read more

Great staff and food. Pup friendly and plenty of friendly folks! Bingo nights are big and the space is full of games.

Nice place to hang out to watch some sports or play some pool or ping pong. We went to have a few beers waiting to get a pizza at a place nearby. The bartender is a great guy and made us feel right at home. They have some tables that are real close to the televisions and I can see coming back for more football and beer. They have some bar food and the prices look quite reasonable. read more

I went to the Admiral Pub to have a drink and see the Dolly Madison show. Saul the bartender was as a douche. My boyfriend and I were sat at the bar and he put my beer down next to the fruit / garnish caddy. He served another customer and flipped the caddy lid and it spilled my beer! His response was "you're in the flip zone" and tossed me a tag to clean up the spill!! He did not even offer to top up my beer that he spilled! My boyfriend later went to ask about the nachos and his was response was "I don't fucking know" and turned and walked away!! WTF what kind of customer service is that. It's one thing if it's late in the night and close to closing but this was 8.30pm!! A group nearby ordered lemon pepper chicken wings and said they tasted of bratwursts!! The show was great, the female bartender was lovely but Saul and the food need a lot of work. read more

Yummy food, fun trivia night on Tuesdays and lots of friendly staff and patrons! Wish they served fries with burgers/sandwiches soooo bad rather than potato chips! Love this place, we are regulars! read more

Went in last friday evening and the staff was beyond amazing and super accomodating! Keep rockin!

One my absolute favorite places. The staff can not be beat. They're fun, entertaining and wicked fast. The food menu was all updated with the new ownership and it's awesome. Ignore any old reviews about food it's completely different now. Speaking of ownership, the owners are awesome and super involved. They have themed nights which is so fun... Bingo is my favorite but the have trivia and karaoke nights too. Follow their FB page to see events. They have darts and tons of pinball machines. I do miss the pool tables that were there prior to Covid. Not a deal breaker whatsoever. Any time I'm in West Seattle I meet up with friends here and am never disappointed. read more

Great place for activities ... karaoke, skeeball, bingo, pinball, and more. Their grill is good, if nothing to write home about. My critique is patrons willingness to accept LGBTQ+ other patrons. I'm 'T' and have received either silence and distance or overt hostility from other patrons. The staff (Julie, especially) have been absolutely stellar in accepting and acknowledging me when I come in. I did go there at least a dozen times before making up my mind about Admiral. read more

This is a decent dive. Stopped in for a bite and a brew, was pleasantly surprised by the spot-on crispy Fish and Chips, a flavorful red by Deschutes, friendly service and clean tables. Yes, it's a dive: that means Guns and Roses, AC/DC and other drivel on the juke, and muscle-shirt and backwards baseball-cap-wearing, Camero-driving misspelled-tattoo-sporting, "yo like dude totally", Coors and Budweiser stuff. You either think it's funny and fun, or you don't. But it's so bloody obvious the minute you walk in, if you are complaining about it, you are really just someone who likes to complain. Solution: shut your pie hole and go to one of the soulless quinoa salad and $15 cocktail joints down the street. Do us all a favor. Recommended for increasingly hard-to-find old-fashioned ungentrified fun in yuppified, gentrified West Seattle. read more

This is a fun place with a great owner. However, in the three times I've been there, I've done six bar orders....three drink orders and three food orders. On Tuesday, September 19, the guy bar tender shorted me. My bad. I should have counted the change right then. On Tuesday, September 26, the gal bar tender changed the prices on two different food orders. She didn't give me receipts. When I complained she had some really odd reasons why the price was different from the menu. These bar tenders seem to be pocketing extra money. The owner needs to know this or he is in on it. Bad either way. read more

The owners of this establishment were incredibly unfriendly. I typically don't pay much attention to the service, but this place was particularly bad. I was there with a group of international people for drinks, and the waiter (who identified himself as the owner) was very rude. While I understand that leaving generous tips is a common practice in American culture, as a business owner, one should also show respect to those who may not be aware of this custom. The individuals in my group paid for their drinks and didn't deserve to be asked to leave solely because they left a small tip. read more

Love the AP! Good food, great people and welcoming environment. Plus, the awesome video games, and trivia nights make the experience fun for everyone. read more

I am very disappointed in my last visit at Admiral Pub. Which is really sad, I have been going to this bar for 8 years regularly. It has been a go to for my wife and I, on the rare occasions we have an opportunity to go on a date. Spent many nights playing pool, singing karaoke, throwing darts, making new friends, listening to live music, watching sports, eating bar food, back when life was normal. Sad to say that tradition may have come to an end over pretentious bar tenders and a shitty ambiance. We were out for a quick date night, celebrating our 5 year anniversary. 90% of our visit was a plesent evening (minus the over priced well liquor). Nonetheless, as we were leaving, we stood up to walk to the door (from the back patio), taking the last sip of our beer after paying our tab, and got called out by another customer. She rudely yells, "if you're going to be standing there in the tent could you put your masks on!?" as she sits the same distance away from me, as I am from her, while she's comfortably yelling mask free.. And I'm not trying to play the victim card, my wife and I had words to return. Then triggered by our response she hops up, and yells," that's it, you guys are never coming back here again!" As if she owns the place (maybe she does). She races us inside to tell on us like a 3rd grader. As we are near the counter heading out the front door, we hear her tattle telling that we refused to wear a mask, as if we hadn't worn one the entire night. Which each and every time I got up to order a drink or use the restroom, I wore my mask in compliance, as did my wife. Where we got really irritated was when we had something to say to the woman as she was telling on us, the bar tender she was talking to, essentially condemned us as well. Telling us "oh no let's not do that!" As if we don't have the freedom to speak, instead of allowing us to give a response to defend ourselves. Anyways, we left right then and there. The context that is missing is that the entire time from 7 - 9pm, my wife and I had to sit in the back corner, while listening to volger jokes about sex and masterbation and people running around the tent, mask free.. which we didn't necessarily mind... up until we were the ones being condemned for standing while taking the last sip of the warm foam in the bottom of our pint glasses headed towards the exit. Earlier in the evening also witnessed a bar tender innocently and playfully hugging one of the customers around the neck while the customer was sitting at his table, mask free. This bar tender was obviously not practicing social distancing. Multiple times that I went back inside to order another drink, I saw one of the bar tenders mask free, quickly fidgeting to put it on as a customer approached the counter. Again I had no issues with any of these incidents, until we became the only suspects of non compliance to covid-19 regulations, when we were the most compliment out of any guest there, including the employees, the entire night. A bit hypocritical if you ask me. So sad that a tradition is ruined, and our celebratory anniversary is tainted with a bad memory it'll make a great story for telling friends, relatives and new people we meet, where NOT to go P.s. Since new ownership has taken place, this place is not the same. read more

Apparently I should be in Mary T's age group and not my own, because I felt like the demographic for this place too. I liked it here! I wish they had more booths and seating was a bit different, but overall, it just said "bar" to me more than a lot of other places I've been along to lately. Trivia, jute box, pool tables, dart boards, etc. I only had water here, I knew I was coming down with something Friday night, and it hit me pretty hard during the course of the day Saturday. (Ha! I'm NOT patient zero then!) But there was no way I was missing Mtizie's b-day, and after all of the oohing and aahing and moaning and groaning about the mac-n-cheese triangles here, I wasn't going home until we stopped in. I have never in my life experienced something quite along the lines of Kraft mac-n-cheese forced into triangles and then deep fried w/in an inch of it's life. There are so many things wrong with the whole idea as to make it so right, it's bordering on Holy. The service was great. Real, genuine smiles and helpful nature. Love to go back for more good times, mac n cheese and next time so I can drink too! =) read more

Admiral Pub - Fried mac-n-cheese triangles..mmmmm - American Near Me - Seattle, Washington

After taking my parents all over Seattle to see different views of downtown it was time for a break. My mother had hinted about 'pull tabs' knowing that you can play them in restaurants/bars in WA. I decided to take them to one of my favorite places, the Admiral Pub. So besides tasty fried mac 'n cheese the Admiral Pub also has pull tabs people! We grab a seat at the window so my pops could watch what ever sports was on one of the many TVs placed through out the pub. I purchase pull tabs for my mom, the first $20.00 are duds but she's not done. I decided to play with her so I get two more $20.00 baskets and woo hoo I won $205.00 unfortunately mom won nothing. We had some ice teas (my parents don't drink, I wonder where I get it from) and some chips and salsa before taking them to the airport for them to head home. Oh and for those to like to play poker on Tuesday nights they now have poker night starting at 6 or 7 but you need to sign up early because apparently it fills up quick. read more

Admiral Pub - Fried mac n cheese - American Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I love this Pub and for more than just the food. The staff are amazing, thoughtful and professional (and sometimes West Seattle classy) that have a reputation for taking care of their customers from all walks of life. The food is traditional pub style food, but always made to perfection. It's a full bar, lots of TV screens for sports and the staff will take requests (except when the Seahawks, Huskies or Mariners are playing) and they have pool, darts and even skee-ball. Honestly, what more could you want? read more

Admiral Pub - Merry holidays! - American Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This is one of my favorite dive bars in West Seattle. They have the best sports games with pool, darts, ski ball, ping pong in beer pong. They have live music some nights and karaoke on others. The food is definitely barfood but you don't come here to eat a delicious meal but they have a decent burger fries etc. This place always has all the good sporting games on with her college football or the Seahawks and they always get a good turnout and crowd. On Friday nights and Saturday nights you could also come here for a while time. read more

Our hometown style bar where everyone knows your name. Staff is amazing and food is incredible.

Tonight I visited the The Admiral Pub and I witnessed something that really disturbed me. My bartender Vivian poorly addressed a problem that should have been handled a lot differently. A young woman was berated and verbally attacked by an older gentleman over her attire. She was wearing a Giants shirt and a man rudely got in her face and continued to attack her verbally. Not only was she not protected but she was then thrown out of the bar and left to be continuously berated by this man as Vivian made a poor call and defended the gentleman. This is not the behavior I expect visiting this pub and I hope that changes can be made in the right direction. One star and don't come after 12am if you're a woman. Seriously. read more
