I've been coming to Poggie's for a while now as a long time West Seattle resident. I've always had…read morepositive experiences here, however, on 8/21, I had quite a negative interaction with the bartender - Hispanic woman with curly hair, glasses, and tattoos on her arm. She was pretty rude when taking my order and had seemed pissed off/irritated when I was ordering some pull tabs. She was the only one on staff so I'm sure that played into it, but she made me feel unwelcome and like I was inconveniencing her. I'm normally not the type to care about leaving reviews, but this interaction left a sour taste in my mouth enough to share my experience.

Drinks for the drinkers. A decent food menu, but I'll get into that more in a bit. It has a nice…read moreatmosphere, but wait staff can be hit or miss. You might have to wait for them to remember what they are selling, or flag them down for a check. If there were drink specials that made more sense, I could see a legitimate reason to spend time here drinking. This Goblin would pass on the food. I don't come here to eat. The food: expensive for what it is. Long ago dear reader, this Goblin worked in food service. He can spot "ready-made foods" from a mile away. This place leans more "eating to satiate", than "eating to satisfy", no matter how hard I fight my Goblin brain. Each meal, I come to terms with the sucker I am for eating a $27 omelette before tip. Herein lies our problem dear reader. Do I want a hummus plate for $12-15, that is essentially a disassembled and then reassembled menagerie of pre-made product on a plate? Or how about a cup of some mid-gumbo for $8? As a Goblin I have eaten many old soups out of a dirty cauldron, but Mid-Gumbo tastes like how Jack Harlow must feel waking up and telling himself he got blacker. Concerning the food (and Jack Harlow), it's about more than just lack of seasoning.

I wish my bf got fries but he wanted his own plate of fried pickles so we had twice the serving for any person haha. Service was great. The staff was so friendly. It's a lot brighter in here than I remember but decor and environemt was great. Definitely my favorite gem of a place.

Easily one of the best sports bars in Seattle…read more I come here whenever I want to watch a game or just get a quick bite, and it's always on point. The cheese curds and wings are ELITE no exaggeration. Staff and management are amazing too. Super chill, welcoming, and they actually take care of you, which you don't always get these days. And they're dog friendly... that alone puts them above a lot of places for me Good food, good vibes, good people. Can't ask for much more.

If you think all you can get here is bar food, you'd be wrong. There are some amazing proper meals…read moreon the menu that will surprise and delight. Solid beer selection with rotating drafts, and if you're a soda guy, they use all Seattle Soda Company flavors (supporting local business). Had the brisket dinner tonight and that was a very pleasant surprise. Fall apart tender, amazing rich flavor, decadent sauce, with creamy mash. The seasonal veg was brussells sprouts which could have been roasted a bit more to crispy for me but that's a personal preference. This is way more satisfying than the food you'd get at your typical local bar. I've been to The Bridge a half dozen times and every time has delivered. Solid food. Good service. Great outdoor patio. Neighborhood vibes - the type of place where the bartenders know and recognize the locals, and the locals are regulars. I like that. It's a welcoming place, casual, laid back, and though I haven't been there during too many sports games, even when it's on, it doesn't seem to get too rowdy. Brunch is a must do, with options like the Benny flight. Definitely one of the less known brunch spots in my opinion, but even so, can still get busy so go early. Only reason I've done 4 stars is I've had a few times where service was a little slow. Would absolutely return again and again and have recommended to many friends. Keep up the great work team, may you be successful for many years to come.

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.

The owners went above and beyond -- they created custom trivia based on the themes I suggested, were wonderfully welcoming to the kids (the pinball machines and claw machines were a huge hit), and even surprised me with a cake topped with a sparkler candle that made everyone cheer. We got to do karaoke, enjoy great food, and collaborate on every detail; their communication was fantastic from start to finish.Richard, the trivia host, brought incredible energy and added fun birthday moments between rounds that made the whole night feel personal and joyful. I attend their trivia nights every week, and their karaoke, bingo, and sing‑along brunches are always a blast -- the French toast sticks are my favorite. Everyone I've brought here has loved the atmosphere, and it's one of the few places where everyone -- even dogs -- feels welcome.I highly recommend hosting your next party here (kids allowed before 6pm) or just coming by for one of their many events. Trivia and popcorn has now become a weekly tradition for me and my friends! Admiral Pub is truly a gem.

The bar was a vibe and the ambiance is very cool but it does get very loud when it's busy. There's a decent amount of seating and bar seating available. We got a couple things to try: Dry Fried Long Beans, Spicy Shrimp and Pork Dumplings, Chow Fun, and Chow Mein. The Long Beans were some of the best we've ever had, flavorful, not too soft nor too hard, and I would come back for them! The Dumplings were good but they weren't unique or special. Both Chow Fun and Chow Mein were made well, delicious, and flavorful. Overall, the dishes were good and made well. I wanted the portions to be a bit larger for the prices. We also got the Crimson Tiger Margarita and it was sweet, refreshing, and a good balance to the meal. It was a little bit confusing when we walked in because there was no one in the front dining area. We walked to the back and that's where everyone was. Our waitress and host were very nice and so accommodating! They answered our questions and gave recommendations for what we asked for. Overall, service was phenomenal. Good for small groups, a casual dinner, good drinks, and good food! It was a fun experience and very picture aesthetic.

A good selection of happy hour food. The happy hour drink options were ok. Between 2 people we ordered the nachos, hummus, and arugula salad. The nachos were pretty big and loaded. It comes with bbq pulled pork. The hummus looks very in house made. It had a great green onion flavor to it. The arugula salad had feta cheese with cranberries, tomatoes, cucumbers, and pumpkin seeds. The amount of dressing was perfect. I took leftovers home and it was still delicious the following day.

As a BIPOC versatile modern artist that mostly works with modern hip-hop inspired sounds, I've…read moresearched everywhere for an open mic environment that welcomes all kinds of genres and doesn't simply cater to just acoustic & rock artists/audiences. I came here and performed three times, only to realize that the crowd including the owners/hosts were 90% just that, and I was the only musician there that actually cared for, or actually performed anything close to modern hip-hop music.... The environment as a whole wasn't extremely unfriendly, but I did kind of get chewed out by one of the hosts/bartenders who plays the drums for certain performances, for bringing in outside food, because he felt it was "disrespectful to their business/establishment," and I was told to step out and finish it, then come back. (I'm so sorry for wanting to eat something that wasn't included in your limited/bland options of food on your menu, while I idle and wait for the sign on list to come out. ) Mind you I've ordered food from here on my first time visiting, and it was not that impressive, or appetizing enough to make me want to order it again.... Despite that, I meant no offense by bringing in a small burger from a spot almost right beside the club, and didn't expect them to get so offended by it.... I get that you guys are trying to keep the lights on, but maybe add more items to your menu, and hire more/better cooks if you want more people to buy your food. Probably not the best idea to attempt to coerce what would be future customers.... You are running a cafe for crying out loud, remember that you need to put your ego to the side most of the time, and care for/cater to your consumers/clientele and what they want, if you want to succeed, and stay afloat.... That aside, the open mic experience as a whole was fairly decent. They let anyone perform, and it was a very talented crowd. Some of the staff admittedly even had some musical chops. Unfortunately I did not like the female host very much. She struck me as kind of stand-offish and arrogant, she had control of the stage lights, and tweaked with them, and made them change colors for a dramatic effect for performers she enjoyed, but she didn't do that little "light show" for me during my time on stage, I guess that explains that situation..... Regardless, I had no serious issue with her until I over heard her speaking with a group of people beside me in an ill manner about modern hip hop music, and referring to it as "mumble rap", claiming "it has no potential to maintain relevancy." That kind of annoyed me because girl, do you even know, or clearly understand what you're talking about? I can't fathom how an open mic host wouldn't appreciate nor respect all kinds of music, no matter how it is performed, or written.... Music is a vibration, it's not just words.... And all of it doesn't simply have to remain stuck in the method/tune of "hey there Delilah," or "my achey breaky heart," forever, to be "good" or "have potential to maintain relevancy..." the music industry/market is expanding, and progressing beyond that sound, and it appears that this place doesn't appreciate that, nor want to support artists who work in those kinds of genres/sub-genres. Again, besides the open mic having a fair arrangement, and audience, the vibe I get from the organizers/bar tenders & staff is very arrogant, and standoff-ish.... Especially from their drummer guy. Very rude, and weird guy..... I don't think I plan on returning.....

I feel like there aren't many places where you can find a true Happy Hour anymore with drink and food deals-- well this place has it. I ended up ordering two orders of the smoked wings because they were so light and packed with flavor. The drink specials were awesome and they are kid friendly until I think 6 or 8... either way. This is probably one of the best happy hours that I have been to in a long time. Our waiter was laid back, I saw some musicians setting up for a show and wish I could have stayed longer but had to get going. Really hope the light rail plans don't take out this local gem. Get there before it's too late.
