I love south perry lantern! Their food and drinks are so good. I haven't had a burger this good in a long time! The "perfect" burger has macerated pear, candied bacon, and Brie cheese. It's so delicious and I already want another!! Their service is also so great, I haven't ever had a bad server here :) Really nice patio to sit at if the weather nice and lots of room inside! read more

Oh my. It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon. Sunny. 70. Perfect patio weather. Getting a table was easy. We went with a limoncello Spritz - cause tis the season - and a black walnut old fashioned because they make their own syrup. The spritz - sweeter than expected but not offensive. The old fashioned - offensive. Very offensive. I've drank hundreds of old fashioneds - and this one wa without a doubt the worst. Cloyingly sweet, no balance, and a weird aftertaste. A two sip wonder. The egg rolls were tasty! Nicely fried and not oily at all. The service was also...rough. Maybe they weren't expecting folks to want patio time and didn't staff accordingly. Time from seating to ordering over 5 minutes, no acknowledgement of the barely touched drink once we were able to ask for the check (another feat in patience), and had to walk the check up to the bar to cash out. Maybe it was just an off day. Maybe not. 1/10 will not return read more

We used to eat at the Lantern a few years ago when it was more rustic. They changed owners and remodeled and with that came a new menu that we weren't impressed with. So flash forward to now. We decided to give them a try. We sat outside because that's our favorite in the summer months. Our waitress came to take our drink orders- they have a decent beer on tap selection which is a priority for us. When she came back to take our order she was helpful and honest about the menu. Hubby went for the wings. He's something of a wings connoisseur and he was very happy with them when they came. He said they are one of his top of all our restaurants (which is saying a lot!). I went for the cheesesteak sandwich and a salad (the honey mustard dressing is house made and perfect in my opinion). It was as recommended very delicious loaded with cheesesteak filling on a soft hoagie bun. Another good mark for the Lantern is that their outdoor seating is mostly quiet and entertaining with the Perry District goings on that you can watch. We'll be back! read more

The "gluten free options" mean no sauces, and sweet potato fries that are completely tasteless. The Fry bin is obviously dirty as well as not at a high enough temperature. My husband's fried pickles were super greasy and obviously from a dirty fry bin. My husband never complains about food, but the cup of chili he had was absolutely tasteless. I'd go there for drinks or beer, but don't eat there. read more

Nice lil spot across from the blockhouse life. Good burgers, I had the shrimp po boy special. Fries are crispy good. Nice menu selection. I will most likely go back to try other items off the menu. read more

Always good food. Entrees are more than most can finish. Fries are the best in town. Service is quick and friendly. We eat there often and bring guests. read more

Service took forever. Food was good but we got full waiting for it. I would try it again. Maybe just an off day. The happy Hour was enough to feed the family. It was good but waited awhile for it. read more

South Perry Lantern - Happy Hour Menu. - Beer Bar Near Me - Spokane, Washington

Wait was not bad for a busy Friday night. Our waiter was handling a whole section alone so we understood it would be a min to get our orders in. They dropped off some waters and we realized that one of the cups had someone's previous lipstick stain. We asked if we could get a new glass. We got our fun drinks for the night but no new glass ( not a big deal). Waiter came back and saw my empty fun drink next to my water cup and the other lipstick stained cup. They asked if we would like new glasses and took all three glass and returned with 2 waters. To our surprise , they brought us back the same lipstick stained glass ... read more

Tonight I had the opportunity to try South Perry Lantern for Inlander Restaurant Week. My friend and I had originally planned on arriving at 6PM, but I had heard earlier would probably be better. Well, I think everyone heard the same thing. My friend and I arrived at about 5:40 and there was at least a 15 minute wait for a table or we could sit at the bar or along the windows. We opted to wait for a table. By 6:30, there were several open tables. Since I and my friend had already checked out the Restaurant Week menu, ordering was quick and easy. We started with one of their featured cocktails. My friend chose their Perry Old Fashioned, made with Four Roses Bourbon and I went with their Espresso Martini, made with Browne Family Andy's Farm Vodka, caramel simple syrup, house-brewed cold brew and served in a frosted martini glass. Both were made well. For appetizers and entrees, we ordered the same thing. Ahi Poke Nachos and Pork Belly and Scallops. We enjoyed the appetizer. We've both had poke before, but to have it on crispy wonton chips was a great twist. The poke had great flavor and the sauces were tasty. The Pork Belly and Scallop entree was phenomenal! The flavors worked so well together and the scallops were absolutely perfect. I truly think they should add this dish to their every day menu. For desserts, I went with the chocolate covered bacon. It was served with a perfect raspberry compote. I had it boxed up to bring home, and I got to talking and ended up leaving it on the table. I was quite sad when I realized I wouldn't have that tasty dessert for tomorrow. My friend went with their fresh, made in house, apple fritter with vanilla ice cream. She said it tasted really good. The space is nice. I really enjoyed my visit and look forward to coming back when Restaurant Week is over. read more

I needed a snack before grocery shopping. I picked South Perry Lantern and was happy with my choice. I moved here from Wisconsin, and the cheese curds I had at Wisconsin Burger were disappointing. The ones here were yummy and the perfect snack. I had to ask for Ranch, and they were happy to sub out their marinara. Score. I also got the "house bubbles," and I was thrilled by my $6 glass of bliss. It tasted like a Prosecco, but it was so crisp and refreshing I didn't bother to ask. I sat outside on their lovely patio. The mural on the wall was warm and inviting, plus the patio is on the side of the restaurant, so it is not filled with traffic. Perfect read more

Food is good. The ambiance is ok. The service is all OK as well. The place is more like a bar then a restaurant

My husband and I stopped in for the first time Saturday at lunchtime. Ordered the Mac and Cheese, expecting an okay meal. This was the best mac and cheese I have had. No bread crumbs to dry it out, just rich and super creamy with no shortage of crumbly bacon and melty cheese. The crispy chicken on top was a bit dry, but it was an aside to the main attraction. I'm not a leftovers person normally but there was no way either of us were leaving those leftovers behind. read more

Great food ,service and drinks ,happy hour and pool tabs ,patio and great location!!!

So my wife and I went in last Monday afternoon for a quick beer and we met the nicest, most kind bartender we have ever met. Meaghan talked us through their fantastic variety of beers and suggestion on the menu (try the pretzel!) like a pro! Thanks again to Meghan...we will be back! read more

This place has improved much since opening. I hope the Hot honey chicken stays on the menu, it's my favorite! Service has improved as well, guess it takes time. Love the remodel. Great idea for the deck and hide windows. Slowly becoming a regular place for me. I recommend trying it out. Great menu. read more

The food was delicious. The service was great. Indoor and outdoor seating. Pets are allowed on the patio.

The food was great (chicken curry), and the service was fun - even tho they were really busy for trivia night.

We used to love this place. Part of the reason we moved to Perry was because of the neighborhood food scene. Food and service has really tanked this last year at the lantern. Today a few of our wings were literally bloody after biting into them. Just super bad expensive food. read more

Amazing food and top notch service! Three of us ladies dropped in for lunch last Saturday around noon. Wasn't packed, got a nice table in the back, and had service immediately. 2 of us got the Perfect burger and one got the BLT and all of us were super impressed. Everything was delicious, the fries were amazing! Service was EXCELLENT! We didn't catch her name but she was on top of everything. We can't wait to go back! read more

It was good but my burger was a bit soggy! My brother got the ramen and it was literally like eating chloraseptic! It was really bad! The service was wonderful and we had a good experience. read more

Love working here Customers are the best The South Perry District is a tucked away gem. The remolding and new ownership has created a neighborhood gathering place for great beers on tap, custom cocktails, mock tails and upscale pub eats! I've been in the industry for nearly 20 and I have the pleasure of working with wonderful people and serving outstanding customers! Thanks to our loyal friends that make my work day easy and exciting! And we look forward to making new future loyal customers! read more

Edit after the response from manager: Received a private message from the manager of this establishment insinuating our review of another unrelated establishment somehow clouded our ability to give the south perry lantern a fair review. These two different reviews are independent of each other. We gave the perry street establishment a try. Over priced food and drink, gambling and an uncomfortable atmosphere is not the south perry neighborhood vibe. read more

Good to mid beer. Always good variety.food mid. I like sitting outside having beer in the sun.

Opening night food was spectacular. We ordered the Philly Egg Rolls, Duck Dip and Korean Ramen. The egg rolls are to die for. I will order those every time! They come with house made ranch dip with is delicious. The duck dip was smoky and tender with crispy bread. And the dip stayed hot until the end. The fries are also delicious. The ramen was beautifully presented with a just done soft boiled egg in the center. The flavors were superb. The staff was so friendly and attentive. They have so many great beers and ciders on tap. We had the cucumber crush sour, blackberry cider, and the honey hefe, all fantastic for summertime. We will come back here for sure! read more

Went here for the first time ever and during restaurant week. Everything we had was delicious, our service was good, and overall a good experience. With everything we had, funny enough my favorite was the French fries. They were delicious. Maybe I was just hungry. I look forward to trying their regular menu in the future. read more

Great food and awesome use of a little historic neighborhood commercial building. Our waitress gave us absolutely stand out service.

My wife and I, new to the neighborhood for a few months, had our eye on this place, and last night was our chance to check it out. It was fantastic - while we skipped dinner, the drinks, appetizers (egg rolls and nachos), and the overall vibe were exactly what we were looking for. Kudos to our attentive and speedy waiter. Already looking forward to exploring the dinner menu on our next visit. We feel fortunate to have such a gem in our neighborhood! read more

Found this place on accident when nearby restaurants were over capacity. I had my dog in tow and the outdoor seating was remote when I arrived (great for lunch with my over energetic dog when seeing other animals). Food was great. I ordered the ramen bowl and my counterpart had a great burger. Dog was happy also. Very nice of the team to provide a water bowl and say hello to doggie. Great spot on Perry with partial view of the park from the outside patio. Great menus and seem to have an expansive beer menu ( I had a great cocktail myself) read more

Nice atmosphere. The chicken wings, the only thing we ordered were presented in a plastic basket with food service paper with three celery and carrot sticks for $18.00. There were 9 wings, again for $18.00. No thought on presentation. It took forever to get plates. This item is included in the shareable section. The dry rub was oddly sandy, like the beach. Terrible mouth feel. Weird flavorless ranch, and insipid blue cheese did not do any favors either. This dish should had been under $10.00 bucks at best. If you are going to charge $18.00 for wings put some effort into presentation, PLEASE. This is a one and done for us. Just cross the street and the food is amazing. read more

Same as my Google review... First off, this restaurant was allowed to open up without being ADA compliant. The original Lantern had a ramp so customers could access the restroom with ease, from inside the building & they had indoor, accessible seating. When I called to double check for accessibility, I was told they are working on it. All seating inside the building was bar height. In order to access the restroom, from inside, you'd have to exit the building & enter through another door. Not only a complete failure on the owners part, but what the hell was the City of Spokane thinking allowing them to open, after a complete remodel, without accessibility? This is flat out against the law! This alone is cause for ZERO stars. read more

Yup, the food is still great, but when they are working in the back do not expect them to check on you. The cook saw me, seemed to care less, and about five minutes later the front guy came out, apologized and helped me . . . some reviews not customer service can be bad; this is my first confirmation on that. read more

I started by ordering a Manny's (beer). The beer was warm and flat. I've never had that happen before. Nothing on the menu looks appealing. It's like they're trying to be too fancy with bar food. Just tame it down a bit. I finally went with the Philly egg rolls and they were subpar. I'm super disappointed since this was my favorite local place to frequent prior to the reopening. They are also closing at 10pm, not the 2am they were claiming. Sad. The service was good. The price was high for what I received. I will give them a second chance due to the location. read more

Great first impression! We were a party of 4. We ordered the French Toast Sticks for the table and then entrees. So good! The food was great and Sarah, our server//bartender was awesome!
