I've always been curious about this spot with it being right along the downtown strip, so I was glad to have finally had an excuse to check them out. The vibes here are laidback and just my type. Not quite a dive bar, but also not stuffy and upscale. A fine neutral. Loved the aesthetic with all the wood and low lighting too! Came here during lunchtime and their menu has a lot of tasty sounding options. I ended up going with a Club sandwich sans tomato with a side salad. When the food came out I was shocked - the sandwich is a hefty serving and cut in half, and I was only able to finish one half! The side salad... That thing was an ENTREE size! Portions here go crazy. The sandwich was delicious. Lightly toasted bread but not so much that it was cutting up my mouth. All ingredients tasted fresh. The side salad was also great! Overall a perfect sunny day lunch. Would definitely come back to explore more of the menu!

Prisoners at Guantanamo Bay get better service than we received…read more I'll preface this by saying it was a packed house for a Seahawks playoff game--so yes, it was busy. That was entirely expected, especially for a rival game against the 49ers. Any competent business plans and staffs accordingly. We arrived and were seated at one of the last tables we had called ahead to reserve. After 30 minutes of watching our section server walk around taking orders and delivering food and drinks to other tables, I finally had to stop her just to ask for water and a menu. Her response was simply that it was really busy. Obviously. But even in a rush, checking in or dropping waters is the bare minimum. As a former server myself, a quick "Hey folks, we're running about X minutes on food, but I can grab drinks" goes a long way in managing expectations. After another 30 minutes, I gave up and went to the bar myself to get drinks. Once halftime hit, I decided to order food to go. That still took an hour, and we didn't receive it until there were about 10 minutes left in the game. To her credit, the server who took the to-go order (a different server) did let me know the kitchen was backed up and followed through--communication that was genuinely appreciated. Throughout the game, I had to return to the bar multiple times to refill our sodas and waters. Our assigned server continued to take orders and deliver food throughout the section, yet not once during the entire game did she stop at our table. Not once. Needless to say, it will be a cold day in Hades before we return. I could be crawling in hunger and would rather meet my maker than give this place another dollar of my money.

We frequent Rainier Growlers on the weekend and enjoy the variety of people who seem to hang out here. There is always a few delicious options to drink and there is easy access to Pizza as Fat Zach's is in the same parking lot. We have seen babies, kids, and dogs be welcome here. It is a good place to spend a couple of hours, especially if it is rainy outside! The staff is always friendly and knowledgeable about what is on tap or available in their fridges. I do not drink beer and am always able to find a local cider to enjoy if I am feeling like a beverage. My 11 year old loves their rootbeer. Definitely recommend Rainier for a fun place to hang out with others!

I've been to Bumpy's before and always had great service and a good time. Typical dive bar and on…read morethe weekends has great energy and a mix of every type of human that walks the earth. - I don't know what changed from a few months ago, but our "experience"" last weekend was awful. My daughter had just turned 21 and we wanted to take her out, so about 10 of us headed into Bumpy's. The second we walked in we were greeted with eyerolls and a very bi**hy attitude from the bartender. Before we could even order, she yells "We don't serve anyone with a vertical". Okay - well apparently you don't like tips then? In Washington you can't get your horizontal until AFTER you turn 21. So that means the day of your 21st - you're going to have a vertical and probably will have it for the next 3-6 weeks after. Initially they tried to tell us it's the law. WRONG. The only law is that the establishment has to check the birthdate and the photo. The staff at Bumpy's wanted no part of that - which, how lazy can you get?! Call me crazy but I don't think many kids with fakes are going to get a VERTICAL fake! Use your brains Bumpy's. If the liquor board is on your a$$ for serving minors - it's not because you're serving people with vertical IDs. It's because you aren't checking the birthdate and the photo on the HORIZONTAL ID to begin with - and you clearly don't own a scanner. Zero reason to greet customers so rudely. Just bad business all around. Too bad, too.. We're good tippers. That bartender could've made about $300 just off us.

I…read moreshould mention that it's my first time in the Seattle/Tacoma area other than driving along the coast from Canada to LA several years ago. This is a typical dive bar with regulars at the bar looking hazily at their libations. Soft rock played in the background and lots of high tops beside the bar. I was asked to order and picked out deviled eggs and nachos! How could you go wrong even if they were so so? Well, the joke was on our friend because they were delicious! The deviled eggs had bacon crumpled on top with sliced green onions and were served on a bed of greens! The nachos were well covered and must have been prepared in layers. Dive bars can have great food!

I mentioned several times that I didn't want something added to my drink, but she completely disregarded it. I also ordered a small bite and was surprised to see an extra charge for a condiment that's normally available in a bottle yet they added it as a "side." The food itself was pretty bland. This place has potential and could be great with better staff, but I prefer to support spots where the employees actually enjoy what they do. I'm honestly over giving the benefit of the doubt to people who clearly don't care about providing good service. So over having to accept mediocrity and expecting a high value tip. NEXT! I hope they do better this place has soooooo much potential
