    Super super cute place! Tried out this place with some friends and it was so fun and had great decor! Tennis club vibes with browns and greens! They have courts for rent inside (4? 5?) as well as a few outside for warmer months. Upstairs is a little hangout area for waiting on courts, with a restaurant and bathrooms located on the first floor. They also have a lot of cute merchandise for sale up at the front! We didn't try the food but the drinks were yummy and well priced! The atmosphere was great, with upbeat music playing, great art, and good lighting! We saw a few kids as well so it's definitely a family friendly spot but each court had a full fence around it so there were very little interruptions between courts! Would definitely come back!

    While bringing in the New Year, I decided to give pickleball a whirl at SoDo's Picklewood. It is such a great concept and the vibe gives Palm Royale. We rented a private court for $25 a person for 1.5 hours. We were right next to a bar lounge. After several vollies of pickleball, we had lunch at the full-service restaurant while watching the trains drive by. Perfect for a sunny (they have courts outside) or an active rainy day indoors.

    What a fun concept of having indoor and outdoor pickleball courts with a restaurant! If you aren't familiar, this place is similar to topgolf, a place where you can relax and hang by playing pickleball and eat/drink! They also have beautiful merchandise as well! I really enjoyed the beautiful clean nice space, the place is spacious, friendly staff, and delicious food. I highly recommend and would come back!

    My girlfriend and I called to book a joint birthday party a month in advance. The front desk was very helpful when we called to make the reservations. Unfortunately they said we couldn't book until two weeks in advance. So we called back when it was two weeks until the date of our party. When we originally called they said the courts would be available when we called back. The courts were not available for the timeslot that we originally needed so we had to push our time back an hour. The courts wanted were also unavailable for the timeframe. So we had to settle for courts that were near the kitchen/bar. Lots of traffic with waitresses and waiters, kitchen staff, etc.. I ordered a few appetizers to get started. There was plates and napkins available. We also ordered a few drinks. We proceeded to play a few games of Pickleball and then we came back to eat, and then returned to the courts, when we returned once again all of the plates and utensils were gone when we weren't finished eating yet.. kind of a hassle to get plates and utensils again. Once we all sat down for dinner with a party of 10. After we ordered our food, and received it the waitresses seemed to pretty much disappear and not check on us. The communication was very poor. We needed water, napkins, sauces, etc.. I asked one of the waitresses if there were free refills on the soft drinks, she told me yes. We were charged for all of our refills. They weren't very flexible with options on how to pay when we wanted to split the check. With a standard service charge of 20% I would expect a lot better service. The courts are really nice, very beautiful done. The vibe is great and fun! Pretty disappointed with the quality of service at the restaurant.

We're not sure whether it's because it's not yet fully Football Sunday game season, or if this is just the way it is at this location. From our experiences at Yard Houses in SoCal, the crowd is much younger, although we did see a few folks in younger age groups or some celebrating special occasions. We have bookmarked this place for the future, for when our parents are in town, lol. Either way, we had a chill experience here. The food came quickly. It was cool that they provided a digital menu on the table for us to order from. We were also able to pick the exact table we wanted (with a 5-minute wait), not too bad. The server was so busy that she couldn't attend to us much, but she was kind enough to bring us beer-tasting options a few times. I'm a big Porter/Stout fan, and they had a good selection of these, which surprised me. We'll be back to try more beers and a few more items on their menu that looked interesting. The food was pretty tasty, we were surprised by the quality, as it had been a while since we'd been to a Yard House. We'll be back for sure.

The 3% extra charge for using a credit card, which honestly isn't advertised very well, is also pretty disgusting as well - like at least be more upfront about how you pass your costs on to your customers. Lastly, the bathrooms are kinda bleh. It's a bar though so i'm not going to be that critical.

Don't be surprised by the small building because it plays out fairly large with a lot of seating and viewpoints to watch a game. I was there to watch a World Cup game and it was quite crowded but still comfortable. I ordered shrimp poppers. I had fries too. The bar food was fine. The server had a huge amount of tables and she was definitely running around to get to everyone. Considering the crowd that day I was actually happy with the service. I understand how hard it is to accommodate a huge crowd with the noise along with getting to all of the customers having worked in restaurants in my past. So thanks to our server, we did pay up before the game was done making it easy to leave at the end. I'd go back to the Pumphouse again because of nostalgia and ease! Oh and the location is definitely handy.

By the time we had dinner, although hungry, it was past 8 and we needed to eat a little lighter and mostly had apps, so not sure how light that meal really was. Everyone enjoyed their dish. Because it was a bit cold, my younger sister got the fried chicken ramen. Fried chicken was not chicken katsu but fried chicken. The chicken was a bit salty while the ramen had a good amount of spice to it. Ramen broth was really good, especially on a cold night for me being from Hawaii. The only thing that was a bit disappointing was the cheese perogies. I enjoy perogies and haven't had any while on this trip to Seattle so a bit of a bummer. It was more like cheese ravioli. However best part of dinner was having the family together. And we ended the night on a good note. And the staff, so sweet. We appreciate you all for accommodating our family.

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.

I made a reservation ahead of time, but when we got there around 8 pm we realized we probably didn't need one because it was seat yourself and still pretty open. No complaints though, it made it easy to grab a table and settle in. The vibe was cool. Definitely a sports bar feel with TVs around, and as the night went on the DJ started getting set up which I can imagine makes it a fun spot on a Friday night for people meeting up after work or hanging out with friends. We decided to share a few things so we could try a little bit of everything. We ordered the catfish bites, lemon pepper wings, garlic parmesan wings, and macaroni and cheese. I'll start with the positives because the service was great. Everyone we interacted with was friendly and helpful, which always makes a difference. Food-wise, it just didn't totally hit for me. The catfish bites had a really tasty batter, but the texture threw me off a little. I personally like my catfish cooked a little harder, and these were a bit soft for my liking. The lemon pepper wings were a little too salty for me, and the wings themselves weren't cooked quite the way I like them. I tend to like my wings cooked a little harder, so these felt a bit soft and bulky to me (if that makes sense). The garlic parmesan wings were okay flavor-wise, but still similar in texture. The macaroni and cheese was okay. Nothing bad, just pretty standard. The menu itself has a good mix of comfort food and bar favorites like chicken and waffles, shrimp & grits, burger & fries....so there are definitely options to try. Overall, the service were great, the vibe was cool and I can definitely see this being a fun spot once the DJ gets going and the place fills up. The food just didn't quite land for me personally this time. I gave it 3 stars, but if Yelp allowed half stars it would probably be closer to a 3.5 for me. I'd still be open to coming back and trying a few other things on the menu.
