Our server Rache, brought out @jules_maes_saloon complete assortment of hot sauces. They were great accompaniment for Peter's veggie grilled cheese and my Stroganoff. I really liked the service here! read more

My new favorite place. Picked up my bestie from the airport and went in search of comfort food and the right vibe. The servers were good humored and attentive, music was on point, the chipotle wings juicy and saucy, and the poutine was TO DIE FOR. read more

Jules Maes Saloon - Chipotle wings and POUTINE - Comfort Food Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This place is always awesome! The food and people are awesome and the price is amazing and affordable. The only thing I would say this time is the waitress did have an attitude. We wanted something a certain way and she was able to do it but she had this attitude that made it seem like it was doable but she didn't want to do it. Other than that grilled cheese and tomato basil soul was amazing!! Their fries were awesome as usual and dragon wings were actually not super spicy or even spicy at all and it had a lot of salt but overall good! read more

First time here and if you come on a Friday you definitely have to order the Fish & Chips. So good! Atmosphere is very cool, and quiet surprisingly. Perfect definition of a saloon. This is apparently one of the oldest bars in Seattle and you would never know. Food and service were amazing! Owner & the cook both get an A+ from us! read more

Cute place in Georgetown. We went on a Tuesday evening at happy hour. We ordered one of their flatbreads which was delicious! Our server was attentive. read more

Food was mediocre at best. Really cool bar and great ambiance with how old it is. Would have been cool to just have drinks here. Back room with a few arcades was fun. I got the poutine. It was on store bought, once frozen tater tots. My friend got a house salad with chicken that tasted like fosters frozen chicken. 3rd friend had the special, cheesesteak. He said the flavors were good, but the steak wasn't. Service was ok, not bad, not great. I would only go back to have a drink and see the inside of this old fashioned saloon. read more

I'm a fan of Jules Maes Saloon. It's not my favorite of the Georgetown bars, but it ranks up there in my rotation. Yes, I have a rotation - don't judge. Jules Mae is an older saloon and it has that feel. It has high backed booths along the side, fixed barstools along the bar, and a variety of tables in the center. It is rather empty during the day but as the night carries on more and more people will start filtering in. It will become crowded. There's a parking lot nearby in the back of the restaurant. I find it also fills up fast, but if you get there by 4 PM you'll find plenty of free parking. The staff is hit and miss. Some days I have been there where everyone is cheery and other days where people are aloof. The nice thing is the ambiance is casual and they tend to leave you be which I like. There's no pressure, they make sure your cups don't run dry, and they don't dally making small talk. Some times I just don't want to make small talk. The drinks are stiff. I am a Moscow Mule fan and I have never left thinking that their drinks were more ginger beer than vodka. It has been a lovely mixture. I am a fan of their grilled cheese when I order food here. It is nice, thick bread, gooey cheese. I often don't order food here though. It is a good location, a fine bar, and a nice place to sit with friends. I have come here with crowds of fifteen people and as few as me and one other. I have always had a good time here. read more

Jules maes was always my favorite in Georgetown when I went to art school in the area a few years ago. Come the pandemic, and of course I wasn't going anywhere for awhile. Vaccinated, and venturing out again we came back. Some of the remodels were surprising and the place for music in the back was really cool! They seem to be focusing a lot on community building which wasn't as much of a thing before. After feeling isolated so long I can use a bit of community. I can only say about my experience but normally you have to make allowances for restaurants since the pandemic. I didn't have to here. The service was prompt and amazing, and the burger was one of the best ones I've had in a long time. It was a very good experience! Oh and they have trivia night on mondays. I'll have to come check that out. read more

Service and drinks were great! Food was lacking and not very good at all for the prices. Fried pickles were inedible and terribly salty.

Came here as a recommendation and looked forward to the spicy chicken waffle sandwich. Service: Not great, but not completely awful. Greeted and seated, but the attention immediately went to a larger party that came in shortly after (kind of looks bad especially if it's just two parties there). The other person was busy chatting with the chef -- took the chef to hint that I looked ready to order. Food: the spicy chicken waffle sandwich was quite disappointing. I enjoyed the batter of the waffle, slightly sweet with possibly a hint of cinnamon. I would have enjoyed the waffle slightly more crispy, since the buffalo sauce and syrup made it a soggy disaster. The goat cheese complimented the other two sauces. All of this and the dim lights could not mask that the spicy chicken batter was burnt -- don't worry the chicken itself was fine (not juicy, not overcooked, just fine). Probably not the best recommendation I've had read more

The day we went the street was closed for Rainier Day. Bacon wrapped shrimp is a good portion but comes with cheap cheese. Mac and cheese with brisket is a must order. The whiskey burger was great. Loved our old fashioneds. One thing is our server changed and we were never notified. Also two people sharing food, our order was pretty clear we were sharing food the server didnt bring us small plates. So I just grabbed them myself. It was a little slow when we were there, this might be one of those places that operates best when busy. read more

We stumbled across this place as we were leaving the Georgetown Flea Market and stopped in for lunch. The front space was full so we headed to the back room which in my opinion is better due to the pinball machines, large chalkboard, Pac-Man and music! The food was delicious and drinks were strong. Friendly customer service. I'd return if I was in the area. read more

Fish Tacos...... doesn't sound like something to swoon over, but these were unbelievable... Huge front windows and good lighting give a friendly feel to the otherwise dark panelled interior. (Also, the waitress was pretty) read more

Everything was wonderful. Besides the food our waitress Lauren was the best. Big smile and made you feel like part of the family. We loved the atmosphere. Highly recommend. From the redneck from Arkansas read more

Went to Jules Maes for lunch today and was pleasantly surprised! After trying to visit another restaurant in the area and being told it'd be a two hour wait, we kind of just stumbled online and found somewhere that sounded good - turns out it's the oldest saloon in Seattle! I got the Pork Wing Mac - the presentation was cool and the meal itself was delicious. That being said, I do wish the pork was diced or something throughout the dish instead of it just being a whole thing on top of your mac and cheese. Service was great and there was hardly a wait to receive our food. I'm looking forward to returning and trying a few more of their menu items! read more

New management/owner, Rochelle takes pride in the food she serves from her new business venture. The menu still remains North American/ Irish comfort food... yet elevated with purpose. Jules Maes has been a staple of Georgetown (South Seattle) and was in danger of being lost to a pandemic. Thank you to the visionaries that brought this place to a higher glory!!!! read more

Jules Maes Saloon - Tater Tot Poutine to go and a double vodka soda - Comfort Food Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I love this place. Staff is great, food is good, try the steak salad! And they have a burger challenge going this may. Super delicious. An they have Live music! read more

Bravo for having a diverse beer selection on tap. Many styles well represented. Versus so many other area pubs that dedicate 80% of their taps to double IPAs. They had Old Rasputin Russian imperial stout on tap which is a huge treat and shows they are very serious about their beer. Food - I'll review later. What's up with tater tots? Mcmenamins kinda beat this potato to death awhile ago. Must be an irreverent thing. read more

The food and drinks were good. Service was terrible. No one came to take out order. After having to go to the bar to order, we actually sat and watched out food ready at the counter for 10 minutes eventually taking it off the window ourselves. read more

All-vegan bar with random rock & roll decor reminds me of every bar in Los Angeles. Food, service, prices, were all pretty good lol. If you're vegan, or a nostalgic Angeleno, definitely give this place a try. If not vegan, sure why not! :) read more

Great food and a fun atmosphere. I recommend the macaroni and cheese! They also have many live shows/music here. They have a relaxed and eclectic bar. read more

It's not that I take issue with how good the food is, it just doesn't seem like it should readily available. Great music, people, atmosphere, vibe. read more

Came here for brunch while my sister was in town and was sadly a bit disappointed by the vibe. It was very dark and the music was interesting. The food was delicious though definitely a recommendation when in the area. read more

great bar for trivia and for shows. food is pretty good but they get your order wrong a lot (2/5 times I've been, but I keep going - this is why 4 instead of 5 stars). it has a cool ambience and a great space in the back for community theater and other shows read more

Mac and cheese trio was fantastic! We couldn't decide which was our favorite but I was surprised at how much I loved the beet Gouda Mac! Pepperoni pizza and buffalo chicken were also fantastic, and I am a very picky Mac & cheese conesuer! Highly recommend anyone to try this for a bite and a drink! read more

10/10 service., food, and environment. I took a work meeting here and the staff handled the drop in large table like a boss. Food came out hot and on time. Food was amazing. Drinks were STRONG. It was for sure somewhere I'd repeat business!! read more

We came to enjoy some karaoke and a few libations. Dallas the bartender was very friendly and accommodating. Kept checking on us despite being all the way in the back. Super kuddos to him. KJ Tiny is amazing! Not only at singing but to make us feel so welcome while putting a great vibe. Great people all around. Sunday is like any karaokean dream!! We were able to sing our hearts out. Thank you! read more

Excited they're open again, an amazing menu and great service, I'll definitely be coming back! Coolest bar in Georgetown! read more

Food, Service and saloon was great. Really like the service from our server. Great times and place.

This is one of my favorite "tavern" type bars in Seattle! The interior is gorgeous and the staff are great. Obviously they have a great selection of beer and cocktails, but what really sets them apart is the food! I highly recommend the Monte Cristo during brunch hours and Beef Stroganoff for dinner. Portions are quite generous here. They also have shows or karaoke nearly every day in the back room. Definitely a must when you're in Georgetown. read more

It was late night and we were worried we might not find a good spot to eat after our concert, but alas, Jules Maes hit the spot! The food was outta this world, atmosphere and customer service on point. It was just what we needed. read more

New ownership as of late 2020. Food is not good. Mediocre!!! Used to have the best food under previous ownership. Recommendation: Hire a chef, revamp the menu, maybe purchase some of the staples from the previous owner...pork wing mac, wedgie, and a few others; then relaunch! read more

We were just passing through the Seattle area and saw this place pop up. We love a good saloon but the food is usually sub par. This place was the exception. Hands down best mozzarella sticks we've ever had. It has an open kitchen with a great menu. The vibe is just right. 10/10 would come again. read more

Great Spot! Turkey Bacon Melt was legit delicious. Great spot for a local pint. Was pretty chill mid week Tuesday. read more

These girls are doing AMAZING for being so short staffed! Drinks were great, food was great - came quickly. If any other tables had issues (which staffing issues will cause) I noticed them immediately correct them with a smile! Their service is what makes it worth coming back! read more

What do you do when your flight is delayed and you land at midnight. Find the Jules Maes Saloon is what. Amazing bartender Merideth is what you will find. She makes a strong old fashioned and then hops to the frier to make some to die for mozzarella sticks and some wings. You won't be disappointed with this historic and haunted saloon, I promise. Great invite to the city Seattle. Thanks for a fantastic stop on our vacation! read more

This is the oldest bar in Seattle and instantly became my favorite. I highly recommend their Shandy. read more

Hmm... We've been here 3x since new management, and each time is exactly as mediocre as the time before... The service and drinks are hit-miss (and some of the liquor, including stuff that is not "top shelf," is irrationally overpriced--ask before you order)... I was a fan of the previous ownership, gave the new folks the benefit of the doubt... And, maybe this is all because of the dining restrictions... But, somehow doubt it, as this is the only place on the block operating under-capacity, even at peak-times. read more

This bar has a fun atmosphere with great food! I love their GOAT Pizza, which is essentially topped with gooey onions and goat cheese. Jules has seasonal drinks as well- we had some really creative drinks in October for Halloween like Dracula's Punch. The bar looks small from the outside, but goes back fairly far and opens up into a media room and bonus room with some pinball machines. The only bummer is that the past few times we've been the back room has been rented out, so pinball wasn't an option. Otherwise, Jules Maes is a great place to stop for dinner and drinks in Georgetown! read more

Honestly not sure how this place gets such high reviews. Certainly not for the food. The pictures are deceiving y'all. Don't fall for it. Had the spicy chicken and waffle sandwich. It was not spicy at all. Not even remotely in a "flavorful" sense. It appeared to have some mild tobacco drizzled on top? The chicken was dry. I mean overall the whole sandwich was dry and desperately was crying out for syrup or even more of that miserable tabasco that I'm assuming inspired the "spicy". To offset the "spiciness" there was some cream cheese at the bottom of the sandwich, which mainly just made the waffle a bit off-putting. Really disappointed as the picture online made it seem so flavourful and juicy. Also had the tater tot poutine. Meh. Not flavorful. They didn't even bother to season the tots. The mozerella sticks (more like logs) were good though! read more
