I thought i already reviewed this place but whatever. The big change is that Ethan towel has taken over the place so while prices are higher the food quality is waaaay better. The service has an also gone from incredibly cranky to kindness. The good news is the ambiance is still there (and it's cleaner too!). The happy hour process after not bad and what's on tap is great. This has become my favorite local hangout when it's a quick meeting. Plus with non alcoholic beers you have many more options. The steaks are nice now as are the chicken n wings! read more

Literally the best service! Shoutout Chip! Food and drinks came out fast and efficient for a large group. The appetizers were good to share and pairs great with some beers. Has a very cozy atmosphere and lots of screens to watch the games. read more

Would give 0 stars if I could. Extremely rude bartender (male with a beanie) and my friends phone got stolen. Save yourself a headache and being insulted... just don't go. read more

Been here three times over the past 4 months. It's always just 'meh'. Nobody who works here seems happy, so a negative vibe from the moment you walk. In. I hate spending time and money at a joint where you just don't feel welcome. The food is subpar and overpriced. Tonight I had a chicken sandwich with a Caesar salad. The Caesar was smothered in so much dressing it was pooling in the bowl. I couldn't eat it. I told the bartender and she said, "You should have said something earlier and I could have fixed it." Ummm.... ??? I just told her... and she did not fix it. So long, Attic. read more

This place is not what it used to be back when Mark owned it. Make sure you check your bill before you pay! I was charged $68.52 for a cheeseburger and a drink! Needless to say, I did NOT leave a tip. read more

Such a great neighborhood spot. Bar food with a twist and great service. Warm and welcoming with a great clientele. Thursday night karaoke with Rommel and Ella at the controls is the best. read more

The Attic is my favorite neighborhood hang. Everyone here is incredible--especially Nick and Rodney and Ernesto and really all the staff. They are friendly, attentive, and always make me feel like a regular. I live in Madison Park and make it to the Attic frequently, especially on Thursdays. I'm scared to say how great DJ Friday and Ella are at karaoke in fear the crowd will grow, but currently it's our favorite place to go sing some songs, have drinks, and always food. I've even tried brunch here and it was great! Breakfast sandwiches, pancakes, egg Benedict, salads all good. We're so glad The Attic is back to being a perfect place to grab a bite with friends, watch a game, sing karaoke, and have celebratory drinks after an event. read more

Last time I went in I sat at the bar to drink a beer before an appointment. Bartender addressed me as I was walking out after about a 20 minute wait to get served. It used to be great. I'd go there almost every weekend for brunch. Then they changed the breakfast sandwich. It was fantastic. It's now inedible. Not sure when I'll ever be back. (I've heard they've also made it 'all ages' which was one of it's advantages over McGilvra's down the street. No more I suppose.) read more

Stopped here with a friend for a late lunch and had the fish and chips and salmon sandwich, both were amazing. Exactly what you want from a great bar menu. Service is friendly and fast. Great vibe, and nice a cool A/C was blasting on a hot day, will come back as soon as I can. read more

This is such a great place. I can't speak to the food but the staff was efficient and kind/friendly. Good beers on tap mix well with a neighborhood pub vibe. read more

We stopped in here the other day and were pleasantly surprised! We've been in for drinks before but the food was great. The happy hour and specials are really reasonable, Sunday was prime rib although we didn't get it it seemed popular! We opted for the tempura veggies to start and they were hot and tasty. We then between our party had fish and chips and a salmon sandwich. The fish and chips were perfect, nothing to improve upon there. The salmon was supposed to be blackened but it was just really lightly seasoned which was still good! The service was really fast and friendly, it was pretty busy when we got there and continued to be steady. Everything was really tasty and we will for sure make this a regular happy hour spot in the rotation. read more

I live in Madison Park and love the Attic. I go there 3-5 times a week. But tonight-- a Thursday night -- i went there for dinner after work. The restaurant had a band playing that was AWFUL! There were loud and very bad. You could not hold a conversation. I had to leave. While i love the Attic i will not be back on a Thursday night. What manager allows this - the band is literally SHOUTING! read more

Not the friendliest server today, novice drinks were ok; food was good but the server seemed to rush us out (Note: we were the only table). Idk, maybe this is the new post pandemic normal. Best bet grab a beer (not a cocktail) & bite; chill space (old Seattle). read more

The food and the vibe was good. Cheeseburger was better than I thought it would be although fries were cold. Chicken wing sauce was also good and they were nice and crispy. The service was honestly not great. It felt like the waiter was either having a bad day or just ready to clock out. It wasn't that busy, so not sure what her issue was. She gave, almost threw, The bill to us and she came off rude. When she brought us the menu she asked us if we wanted thing from the happy hour menu which we weren't aware off. She showed us the menu and rolled her eyes as if we were to know what the specials were. I'll come back but sit elsewhere so she isn't my waiter. read more

I've been here a couple times for breakfast and what a great spot. Must have breakfast potatoes which we ask for extra crispy. Love the eggs Benedict and French toast. Service is super fast and friendly. I need to try their burgers because they look great. I also enjoy the decor choice so really 10s across the board. read more

Great service & quiet on a Sunday at noon. Monte Cristo & coffee tasted good. Recommend their nachos

Visited this place a few days ago with friends. Unfortunately, the experience didn't live up to expectations--waited 10 to 15 minutes for bartender to approach us even though the bar wasn't full. The bartender, a guy with a beard, was out on the floor, talking and bussing tables, etc; even though there was a heavyset guy working the floor. Took another 15 minutes to get menus. The food was good. In the time I was there, 3+ hours, I ordered 2 drinks. I requested another drink, and the bartender brought me a soda, without alcohol. I didn't say anything. After I finished the soda, he asked me if I wanted another. I said, "no I'm okay right now". Without a word he walked over to the cash register, rang me out, handed me the entire tab for my party, and walked away. The place has a cool vibe, but the lack of service really overshadowed it. Not sure I'd return anytime soon." read more

Great service and French fries. They make their own ranch dressing, delicious! Casual place with TVs to watch the game

Great eggs Benedict. Friendly staff. Nice to sit outside. With a mimosa the dining experience was divine!

3 Stars because I'm nostalgic...i spent a lot of time here in college. But I heard a restaurateur saved/purchased the bar...so why is the food not good...or at least better? Service is great and the beers are amazing. Yelp wants me to mention "ambiance" but if you don't know the Attic.... you don't know. No comment. read more

I will give the new Attic 5 stars, because the staff was friendly, the beer was cold, the food was good, and the place was clean. I miss the old Attic and am very disappointed it is gone. I spent a lot of time there when I lived at the Edgewater Apts 5 blocks away. Seems like a lot less seating in the new layout. Oh well. The bartender had very good things to say about the two owners. I was impressed she said one of the owners preps/cooks a lot and cleans the place making it easier for the employees to do their jobs. Always a good sign when the staff talks up the ownership. read more

Probably the rudest place. Servers are old and cranky with ok food bar. But for the price, no thanks! I would think given how the restaurant industry is suffering that they'd be more customer friendly. read more

Favorite bar to go to in Madison park area! Love the homie vibes and I have to give a shout out to Destiny one of the bartenders. She is always on point with service; remembered my drink of choice by my third visit and always give great service. read more

We go to the Attic periodically and always have a great time. The outdoor patio area is dog friendly, and a fun place to get a casual brunch (bonus: they have mimosa pitchers for super cheap - I think $15). Food portions are huge, and pretty good too considering it's bar food. Drink pours are generous Most recently we came the night before Thanksgiving to meet up with some friends. Apparently every year, on this night, it gets insanely packed and they prepare for it like the zombie apocalypse. I didn't believe it when I saw it with my own eyes. All of a sudden, at around 9:30pm, hoards of young folk started streaming in..and didn't stop. Just a heads up for everyone next Thanksgiving :) FOOD: Chicken strips and fries - huge pieces of chicken (2-3 giant chunks), and the chicken is great. Nice and crispy, not dry at all. Careful not to burn your tongue. Fries are good as well. Comes with BBQ and ranch by default. DRINK: They seemed to be out of wine glasses when we ordered some red wine, so we got wine in pint glasses instead. Not complaining! SERVICE: Pretty efficient, and the people are very friendly, especially if you are a regular. read more

Bizarre the food is so bad from an Ethan Stowell revamp.When something gets revamped shouldn't it mean better or much better all the way around? There is nothing remotely inventive or interesting on the menu. Nachos were bad, stale chips, burger and french dips sooo dry. The lighting is gross, not cozy or warm and the place overwhelmingly smells like grease and so will you when you leave... pathetic read more

Sad to hear that The Attic has closed permanently. I will miss them. It was a great place to hear live music and I was fortunate enough to have played there myself. Thank you to Mark (RIP), Colleen and all the staff for the good times. Thanks to Frank D. for the photos. read more

An upscale "dive bar". First visit was good but I only had beer. Second visit I should have stuck to drinks. Nacho's were way below what I'd expect from an Ethan Stowell place or any place. Unmelted cheese and stale chewy chips. I'll cautiously give it one more try. read more

I had tried several times to watch a Kraken game but it was always full. Last Tuesday some friends and I were able to grab a spot. The place was fun to watch the game but the food was mediocre at best, specially considering the price. I was disappointed since several of the other reviews said the food was good. I would still go back but I wouldn't eat thing. read more

Solid choice for pub grub, beer selection, and competent service. Sandwichs, burgers (including a veggie choice), salads, and sides. Many TV screens for sports viewers. Downside is that when crowded, one must almost yell in order to be heard in conversation. read more

First visit since becoming an ESR property and it's gone downhill. $13 for six wings, charged for each iced tea at $3 a pop. Got wings, nachos, and a chicken sandwich, with two beers, and a drink, $115 with tax and tip! What? Also tried to charge us for glasses of wine we didn't order. And they still haven't solved the ventilation problem so you leave smelling like a deep fryer. read more

Good spots bar and glad it's back running. Beer Prices are too high but that's due to Chef Stowell trademark. Food is still similar burger, salads, etc Not open till dinner time many weeks nights which is limiting access. read more

Destiny was the greatest bartender! Recommended Espresso Martinis and we're pleasantly surprised. She was so nice and helpful! Will be back for brunch. read more

Definitely not open at 9am on Saturday like the sign and website say. Came to visit but no sign of activity.

I ordered the burger and my friends ordered the French dips - all were inedible! The buns for both items, while different, were both dry and tasteless. The burger was over cooked and tasteless. The roast beef in the French dip appeared to have been previously cooked and then rewarded. The aus jus was like colored water. I won't be returning - my stomach was cramping after we left! read more

My favorite place in Madison Park... An institution serving beer & food for a locals for decades. It's great to hang out and watch sports while grabbing one of a dozen or more beers on tap to pleasure your senses. I've had the pleasure of enjoying many fine meals but I will say my favorite is the A&E Chicken sandwich. The secret is the bacon place & cheese and the way they marinate the chicken prior to grilling . Friday is clam chowder day day. It's thick , rich & creamy soup that will warm your belly on the coldest of days. Now on a game day the wings are phenomenal. Nice to spicy but a nice kick to them overall for your pleasure. But the beer on tap selection is never ending and always changing. You'll see there always on the cutting edge of locating the next best brew for u. You get the feel of home when you enter these walls. More like a giant man cave is more like it... Nothing aloof about "The Attic", it's a solid establishment. read more

This is a typical sports bar in the Madison Park neighborhood that's been there for decades. They have a small patio out front with table service. The menu is full of solid bar food (burgers, nachos, sandwiches, wings) and a small selection of salads (with salmon, chicken, shrimp). They have great daily food specials and a solid selection of beers on tap, along with a full bar. I believe all their wine is boxed wine. The service has always been mediocre. The staff is not overly friendly and seems to favor regulars, of which there are many. Tonight we stopped in for dinner and the sandwich board out front advertised chicken tortilla soup and a brisket quesadilla. The menu inside stated there's a special menu item on Thursdays, but when my husband asked what the special was, we were told there wasn't one. I didn't bring up the brisket quesadilla on the sign outside... then I tried to order a cup of the soup of the day and was told it was "running pretty low earlier and didn't look very good." I guess I appreciate honesty, but it was really weird. We'll be back out of convenience, and the food is always fine, but the service isn't my favorite. read more

The Attic Madison Park - Daily specials? Or not..? - Sports Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

All five for these guys. As I was sitting at the bar waiting for breakfast this morning I looked these guys up on Yelp to see the reviews. I was surprised to see the negative ones. To be completely transparent - as soon as I walked in to this place I was a part of the experience. It felt like I was back on the East Coast. It's not all fake smiles and $17 drinks here. It's real. The owner is passionate and loves this place completely. The bartender was extremely personable and attentive. I stayed after I had finished my biscuits and gravy to talk with the owner a bit about life. All in all, this place is genuine. You get what you get and I'll be surprised if you don't like it. If you're looking to crush some drinks with some good food and REAL conversation or shoot darts and jam out to a live band, then this your place because that's what these guys represent. All authentic love here. - B read more
