Drinks: (4/5) Grabbed a strawberries and cream slush because I was craving something sweet. Definitely hit the spot and was nice to have in hand for the countdown.

Love the theme and the photo booth up front.

The chicken was juicy with every bite and the biscuits and gravy were delicious! Nothing was dry at all. I would go back just for this! The pork verde sandwich (4/5) was good too but nothing to write home about. At $24, I didn't feel like it was worth it.

Someone in my group has a severe nut allergy and drank a sister nightwine (nut allergy was not labeled). Unfortunately our friend had to run to the hospital because of it.

I hope they label things correctly! Would love to come back.

I was impressed with the menu and appreciated the creativity. I was glad to hear about the thought process around some drinks and that they update the menu with some regularity in a pleasant conversation with the bartender. I was really happy with the, quite interesting, bullion whiskey cocktail I ordered. They have a food menu now. I'm kind of forgetting what they served, but it seemed like pot stickers were maybe on the menu, along with maybe 5 other items. The place was about 3/4 full on a Friday. I noticed the service would bog down for awhile and then free up again, and that seemed to be the pattern for the evening. This is a really vibey gem tucked away in the northwestern end of Capitol Hill, great if you want to get away from crowds or just go to one of the cooler bars in Seattle.

All the drinks were ordered were quick and tasty. For those that cannot drink beer, they do have Twisted Tea on tap which is somewhat carbonated which is fun, unique and refreshing. Went on a weeknight, and saw that they had Blanton's. May be the cheapest price for a pour of it in town. Since it was only a few bucks more than a standard bourbon and coke, asked for a Blanton's and coke, which got some laughter, good played heckling and jokes from the bartenders. (obviously I corrected myself and did not get it with coke). Pool tables look nice and in good condition. Lines for a table were pretty long, but there was a group for a birthday party there squatting on one of the tables all night. The cook in the back seemed a bit gruff and muttered something at my wife when he was trying to book it back to the kitchen in a crowded bar. Seemed unnecessary, but still, overall the staff was great. Would go back!

Been here a few times and happy to have it be a regular dive for me and my friends…read more Lenys is the textbook dive bar, looks and feels like it's still in the 80s. It just needs a jukebox and for smoking to be allowed. Beers are cheap, especially the large bierstein drafts you can get for like 8 bucks, where as a pint anywhere else would cost you the Same. Food is also pretty inexpensive. Even in my last visit they lump my tab with my friend but a pint, ginger ale (my friend skipped beer this visit) and an order of chicken tenders was like $17, I was surprised. The outdoor patio is nice and there is a fair amount of seating inside. Some of the downsides are the staff can be hit and miss and there is only one register so lines for drinks can get long, fast. If you see the line short, jump then if you can. Besides that Lenys is like my favorite dive bar - cheap drinks and food, sports and good atmosphere.

I said to my sister (who is visiting from Alabama) from the start after meeting Devin "oooh girl, I love their energy". Because they are the sweetest person you'll ever meet. Jesse was SO attentive to us. The views were fabulous but the company of Jesse and Devon were top-notch. Charlotte? Was also fabulous. As a manager myself - I'd be SO incredibly proud to have these three on my team. Thank you so much, I needed this after a very challenging week.

Took almost an hour to get seated, but we were able to grab some drinks from the coffee shop on the first floor of the hotel, which was a nice option. Once we got upstairs it was gorgeous! Lots of great seating options both inside and out. The views of downtown Seattle and Bellevue were EPIC. The staff were very friendly as well! I have to say, for the price the food and drinks weren't at the level I expected. We ordered nachos, crab Rangoon dip, and pretzel bites. The nachos were probably our favorite, but they weren't anything special for $22. The Rangoon dip was mostly cream cheese and barely had any flavor. I think they were depending on the nori chips to bridge the gap, but those didn't taste the greatest. Finally the pretzel bites were okay, but nothing I couldn't get at another gastropub for a much lower price. The drinks were fine, but not that strong. I ordered the Glacier Peak which was beautiful and refreshing. We'll be back for the views and maybe a couple of cocktails, but I'd say if you're bar hopping, spend money on food somewhere else in the area.

The only complaint I have is every time I've gone I get nauseous because there is absolutely no air conditioning.

Glad to hear it is in fact there and will be coming back soon!
