Fantastic service, great food, amazing building, what more could you ask for? The waitress even took the time to show us the jail cell + fake cells that had been constructed for a movie set, located in the basement of the restaurant. Crazy to think that this place used to be a prison. Anyways, the burger I ordered was the new Fire Burger, which attracted me immediately when I saw all the hotness, from jalapeños to sriracha mayo. I got it with fries of course, as shoestring is my favorite type of fry, and the rosemary was just an added delicious bonus. The fry sauce was pretty good, but I honestly just preferred the ketchup that they had on the tables, and I tried out a bit of the vinegar on some of my fries and I think I've found my new favorite thing. The burger was delicious, would definitely recommend! Bacon was crispy, bun was nice and fluffy, meat was flavorful and plentiful, cheese was gooey and oozing out of the burger delectably. Not a fan of lettuce so I plucked those suckers out, don't remember if the menu said that there would be lettuce but it wasn't a hassle to do it myself. It was a lot of food for one sitting, you'll definitely not walk out of this place hungry! read more

Wasn't impressed at all. Server seemed put out having to help us, food wasn't great at all. Saw a review and photo of fish and chips was excited to order them and they were awful and coleslaw had no flavor at all. The only thing going for them is the nostalgic of being one of the oldest bars. read more

Very cool place for cocktails in Roslyn. If you want to go where there is history, this is your place! Totally enjoyable place and the service was fantastic! read more

Venue: 4/5 (old historic building with lots of character) Service: 2/5 Beverages: 4/5 (kind of difficult to screw up a beer) Food: 4/5 Overall: 3/5 Will I go back, yeah.... We have been here two years in succession as a group of twelve. Both years, they forgot a food order for one of the folks at the table. This year they were super apologetic and promised to comp the meal. I didn't get the bill and so I don't know if it happened or not. There is plenty of space to seat large groups, which why we go. The beers are good, the food was surprisingly good and they don't rush you in order to free up the table. This works out well for us because come for drinks after golf and no one is in a hurry. As such we talk, which is why the slow service doesn't bug us too much. read more

We used to come to the Brick back in the day when Northern Exposure was on TV. At the time as a poor college student, we didn't spend our money on the food. :). The pitchers were always cold. We were in the area recently visiting my oldest who is attending Central, and taking our youngest for a campus visit. We stayed in Suncadia and my wife and I shared stories of visiting Roslyn when we were students. Prior to coming to the Brick, we read reviews to see if it was the same historic place it used to be. It is! Some of the reviews we read just blasted the staff for getting flustered trying to keep up with the needs of a large party, (like the staff is used to working in a big city restaurant, not a small historic town bar). We saw the server who was named in that review, and while he didn't serve us, he was quite personable and attentive to the tables he was serving. For our part, we had a party of 7, sat in the lower area near the stage, and had a great time. The food was what we expected for a bar. Our server was attentive and friendly. He offered suggestions when asked, and checked in often (the place wasn't packed but it was moderately busy) Our experience overall was great. If the walls could talk, I would love to hear some of the stories The Brick is a part of. I hope you will give this place a try so you too can be a part of its history. with Yelp: In my experience if the review is about the health or cleanliness of an establishment, I've found that can quickly be confirmed by a glance around a place, but when it comes to the personalities or capabilities of staff, I don't typically let someone else's experience affect my decision to visit, as staff are people and have bad days like the rest of us. So take this review for what it's worth: we had a great experience visiting with a lens grounded in great company, nostalgia, fun. We'll definitely go back to continue the story next time we are in the area. read more

Friendly staff and I even told the waiter, "..best burger I've had in a quite a while". They had a great "fry sauce" that reminds me of a 1000 island type dressing. Really good with the shoestring fries. It is a bar so double check when minors are allowed in their dining area. read more

What's not to enjoy about THE BRICK? Old turn of the century tavern dating back to 1889 and is classic Americana! I'd say this is the only reason you should find yourself in Roslyn, but man it's a good reason! THE BRICK is just one of those places you want to visit time & time again. Whether its for lunch, dinner or just a cocktail its a winner! The food is always quality & taste and the portions are excellent. Many beers to choose from including local beers from THE ROSLYN BREWING Co. plus a full bar at that huge oak counter with a running water spitoon below your feet if you have the urge to chew! If you can think of a reason why you should show up well I don't want to drink with ya then! read more

Horrible establishment. Don't come here if you are not the standard white American. They treated us horribly from the minute we walked in. All of the staff made it known we were not welcome. Restaurant was absolutely dirty. read more

Good food and atmosphere. Though service is excellent and goes beyond what is expected. They paid for two meals for my family lost someone close to us. read more

We took a large group of adults with several babies and toddlers in for dinner on a Tuesday evening. Let me acknowledge that this place is a historic tavern not set up for family groups of 20. That said, I must say the food was mostly great. The group had a variety of entrees including burgers, sandwiches, salads and tacos. There was a little wait but not unreasonable given the business that night. They were able to accommodate the group with three separate tables. Drinks were good and we were able to get our own water until a brave soul asked for two pitchers of ice water. The experience went down hill when it came time for settling the bill. We occupied three tables and each table was billed individually. Not a problem at all. Unfortunately our waiter Mack, screwed up our bill several times and when we politely pointed it out, he got pissed. Things went progressively bad when we had to send it back again. First there were food items not at our table and then it was tacos from another table and a can of Rainer beer that no one in our group ordered. Each time this bill came back wrong, our guy Mack loudly slammed the bill tray on the table top. The second time he was so frustrated he took the drinks off and growled that he took them off altogether. Then the next time he was so bent out of shape and frustrated he growled that he took 50% off the whole bill. We didn't ask or expect him to do that, just bill us correctly. My son was covering the $118 meal for our table and I wanted to leave the tip. After Mack and his bad behavior performance, I left him nothing but a desire that he seek out counseling and a new career. He's far to wound up to wait tables. If your curious at all, no we will never return to the Brick. I should also add the backwoods hottie with the bitter beer face was less than welcoming when we initially came in. Nice dress but a shitty disposition. She's another individual who would better serve a prison population than the general public. Cheers! read more

I had a burger here yesterday and it was actually fantastic. I didn't get any kind of novelty burger- just a regular tomato, onions, lettuce, pickles, and a patty on a brioche bun. It kind of made my day. The fry sauce was really good too. Not sure who I ended up chatting with, but I figured I'd buy a t-shirt and ended up having a pleasant convo with the guy that took my order. I used to be a punk rocker and now I'm a middle aged dad buying a t-shirt from a bar that I had a perfect burger at. Life's weird. But I'd 100% come back if I'm ever in town again. read more

We were supper jazzed about sharing a meal in The Brick, and we loved the atmosphere in the main room (not in the back room, where they seat families). The food, however, was very pricey and not very good. In hindsight we would have eaten elsewhere. It's probably a great place to just grab a drink (staff was nice) but I wouldn't recommend the menu. read more

walked in with Customers and told us they can't serve us. Extremely unprofessional, they don't even deserve a star. Don't recommend this place. read more

Known for its history in the town of Rosalyn in the Cascade mountains Is this historical saloon, "The Brick." It has been around since 1889. Some say this place is haunted. Down in the basement one room once held dead bodies of coal miners that were in a tragic accident a century ago. I could really see the history in this old place and the old spittoons with water coming out. The bar was ancient and cool to know it had once originated in England. The real wooden bars and heavy wooden glossed tables and the 145,000 bricks to make the building kept its history alive. Who knew I would end up here due to the weather.. it was not safe to venture further with our can to Leavenworth. I highly recommend to get the pozole. I wished that I could've had more of the real tortilla chips because they complimented the soup real well. The rosemary shoe strongman fries were a good addition to filling my belly. On this wintery cold day the hot cocoa was perfect. The hot apple cider was sweet and the best to warm my belly. I ended up getting three orders of cider which wasn't free refills. Loved the service that accommodates 16 of my family members. They did awesome! read more

The brick is good predictable pub food in the friendly atmosphere of the oldest continually operated saloon in the state of Washington. Give it a try. read more

Worst pozole I have ever tasted. It tastes like oregano soup. They should remove it from the menu. Stick to burgers! Service was mediocre. The waitstaff was impatient when taking our order but forgot to bring us napkins, plates, and intensives. read more

Not for us. Had a strong anti-mask and anti-vaccine feel (including a posted statement regarding people there not being vaccinated). I don't mind other people having strong feelings on the topic, but it detracted from the experience. Don't think I would ever go back. The food was okay and our server was nice. read more

As I drove across I90, I had been looking forward to finally being able to try a burger at The Brick. When I finally got there, I was faced with their anti-mask message on the door and all over the windows. It seems all of their employees have medical issues that allow them to avoid the WA mask mandate. I'm told WA State inspectors disagree with that, and it is indeed hard to believe there is such a concentration of medically compromised people who wouldn't actually benefit from a mask. Or are they making a political statement about their supposed Constitutional rights??? Whatever. Apparently their rights to not wear a mask are more important than my rights to not be exposed to whatever supposedly ails them. I got my burger elsewhere and I suppose they are fine with that. read more

The Brick Saloon - Message on the front door of The Brick - Bars Near Me - Roslyn, Washington

I am so disappointed that I have to write this review. We used to love coming to the brick. It was our favorite spot to grab a drink and eat after hiking in the area. We went to dine here September 5th. WA state does require that all indoor businesses follow the mask mandate. The brick had numerous signs with anti-mask messages, including a bunch covering the windows that said "unmask the children." As a teacher, this breaks my heart and makes me sick that they would go to such lengths to not protect children. None of the staff and very few customers wore a face covering. Sadly, we will never return to The Brick and we will be urging others to do the same. Shame on you, The Brick Saloon. read more

The brick never disappoints! Great food, good music, and always feel welcome there! Definitely recommend.

My friend and I trekked our to Cle Elum Lake for some peace and quiet last weekend. We were trying to be good about bringing snacks so that we wouldn't have to eat out (again), but our stomachs got the best of us after a day in the sun. We tried a couple places in the small downtown strip, but they were all busy or didn't have enough pescatarian options for my friend. We got seated right away at the restaurant and all of the staff that helped us were masked up and friendly. I ordered the brisket sandwich with onion rings, but it came out with shoe string fries. I asked the food runner if I could possibly just order a side of onion rings because I didn't want them to waste it, but they were quick to accommodate and came back in a few minutes with piping hot onion rings. The food itself was very tasty and we were pleased by the cleaning procedures that we observed. We don't go to that side of WA often, but if we go back I know where to go for a tasty bite! Great food and portions for the price. My pescatarian friend was able to get a hearty meal, as well. read more

We've been a few times, food is always average to not good, drinks are average. Maybe it's a better experience in the bar, but we have always sat downstairs with the kids and there's just nothing great about it. read more

Disappointed that a lifetime favorite has gone downhill so fast. It was crowded. To capacity. Not a single staff member was wearing a mask. It seems their politics have become more important than their food. read more

We've gone several times this week alone and quite a few times previously. Food is consistently good, service is great and I applaud this establishment for their "mind your own business" policy regarding masks. If you are uncomfortable with patrons who are not wearing masks you can deal with it or leave. Burgers are all great, onion rings and rosemary fries are delicious, great drinks and beer selection. read more

The burgers was okay but our waitress was awesome. My brother order fish n chips, he said it tastes like the one in the frozen bag and where you have the option to deep fried. Just saying. read more

10/10 great music, humble service, amazing food & signature cocktails, Benni James is the best performer!!

If I could give them a no star I would. We walked in sign said "Wait to be seated"so we waited and waited ... 4 staff looked at us but no one said "Be right with you" no verbal acknowledgment what so ever. We believe it was because we were wearing masks. None of the staff were . We have had our shots and we're wearing our masks out of courtesy for them. We usually stop in 1-3 times a year and service has steadily gone down hill. This time they have lost our business for good. Went to Logan's-had incredible service and food. The Brick has forgotten that they can't survive on just locals read more

Wow... has this place gone downhill... needs a cleaning, new management, and new servers.... I used to love to bring out of town visitors here (for the last 15 yea4s)... today we were treated like crap, ignored, and ignored some more... all while the staff was gathered laughing it up behind the bar... sad. The two male bartenders and male servers were particularly dismissive. After years of being a cool destination, this place has become a major disappointment. read more

Im happy to say I've visited the oldest running bar in WA state. Didn't think much of it until I walked inside. It's bigger than it looks from the outside, decor inside is nice. They had the Seahawks game playing in plenty TVs and the ambient was full of energy. A cool thing about this bar is a fireplace they have going. I can't say I been to a bar with a fireplace. Atleast a running one. Beer was cheap, service was good. Overall great experience. Hopefully I get to try their food next visit and it doesn't disappoint. read more

Tried to go to Roots Barbecue, but it was closed (gone) for the season, so came here instead. The food was really mediocre, and was served by staff who weren't wearing masks at all. There's anti-mask signage everywhere (a violation of the state covid regulations). Overpriced, mediocre taste, and bad covid policies. Only good thing I can say for it is the building is neat. read more

Let's start off with the positive - the food is pretty good. I've had lunch and dinner here quite a bit through the years but have been bothered with how greedy they are. For instance, sharing an entree with another person or using a credit card draw extra charges. A 20% gratuity is added for groups of 6 or more and an 18% gratuity is added to to go orders. On my latest visit we were 4 couples and when we informed the waitress that we would be on 4 separate checks she said they couldn't do that (something about it being difficult to match drink orders with food orders, which sounded like BS to me, but I didn't want to cause a scene). she said the policy is we could have a single person pay the entire bill or split the total charges equally among each person. Because of this policy, opting to split the check equally, I ended up paying 430% more than the cost of my meal. not kidding, 430%!! I decided to call later and speak to the manager who clarified that their policy is they could split the check up to 3 ways. She was unwilling to appease my complaint and instead told me I should have the rest of my party Venmo me to make my payment equitable. Like I'm going to do that! In any event, I'm pissed off and it was my last visit to the Brick. There are lots of other options available. And by the way, if you want water, they point to the back near the bathrooms where you can get yourself room temperature water out of an igloo cooler in a plastic cup. With the prices they charge it's like getting slapped in the face. read more

Went on a Friday night. Very busy which usually is a good sign but it quickly became apparent that it was a hangout for a particular group of people. More of a local gathering place than one that welcomes visitors. And no diversity what so ever. Food was basic bar food, nothing good and drinks were just as basic. Bill was quite high for what we ordered in comparison. Service was lackluster. Wont stop again and regret not trying one of the other nearby restaurants. read more

Really neat old building, good service, and a great Cuban sandwich! We will definitely stop back in when we're passing through!

Terrible service. Good food. Not worth the hype. Your average bar. If you still want to check it out, don't waste your time during peak hours. read more

The ambiance was way cool from old Washington. Great place to go with friends. Food is just ok but the experience is a hoot at the bar

It had been several years since I had been to the Brick and it's still a place that takes you back in time, which is a good thing. Food was middle of the road, lots of choices from appetizers, sandwiches, burgers, etc. good drink and beer selection. Service was slow at best with non-engaging servers. The upsetting thing, after receiving the bill and with no warning from the staff, there was a 4% service fee added for using our credit card. What restaurant does that? First one I have ran into. Talking with a friend that lives in the area, sounds like this has become a common practice for restaurants in the Roslyn and Cle Elum area. Well, that eliminates two towns I need to worry about eating in. read more
