The Bridge

The only reason they got stars was for service. Service was a solid 4.5 stars (good job Mark), but I’m reviewing the food. Always used to go the bridge at its old location and the atmosphere and menu were great. More personable. Elvis burger was a win… Tried to be regulars still when they moved to Morgan Junction, but the food quality has just been plummeting. One party member had the peppercorn steak — awful. I didn’t know you could screw up a sauce/​steak like that. Bison burger was OK but nothing great. Bbq chicken tasted like spicy ketchup and the tacos were blah.
Bring back the old Bridge.

First thing– I should have checked to see if kids were ok (as it is over 21)
Got there early (30 minutes before the rest of my fathers day group), had a lovely cocktail and nice chat with staff while I waited.
Upon arrival of my party which included a child, we were informed that only over 21 were allowed. While I gather our things and the patrons at the bar as well as the bartender and several employees began the «Can’t read huh?» «Sign posted at the door», «what idiot takes a kid to a bar?» Loud enough for me to hear but not speaking to me. As I confronted these «gentleman», the loudest mouth (and employee of the establishment) of the group makes a derogatory female comment.
The bummer is this has been a favorite of many in my family and friends; trekking over from Vashon for a good place for lunch and dinner… that it is now on the do not frequent list.

Today was my fifth time here– I was very disappointed. Can we go lower than one star? My previous visits have ranged from barely okay to semi fun. Today we sat at a table for 8 minutes and even tried calling on the phone… no one offered service or even acknowledged that we were there. The bartender was busy telling stories and flirting with patrons, and the servers were chatting amongst themselves. Unfortunately, I have gotten used to good service and this was not the case today at the Bridge… so we went elsewhere.
Thanks for reviewing your security footage– you must have been looking at the wrong table as my phone stamps were an indication of the time we spent in the Bridge. I was on a call when we first entered and were waiting for someone to acknowledge our arrival, and then again after we waited at a table for several minutes. I will probably try your restaurant again as I have had decent service in the past.

The bridge is a good place to catch a game as they have enough well spaced TV’s and seating for small groups around the bar, (like 4 – 6 people). Good bar food selection on the menu and a limited beer selection on tap. The wait staff is great and keeps a good check in to see how things are going (you won’t be left wondering who’s going to get you another drink). I’ve only ever enjoyed the times I’ve been here due to the atmosphere and pretty good food.

Fun atmo and the bacon wrapped dates with goat cheese were great. Gooey, sweet and savory. Like smores for adults.

Stopped by here after a long day of moving to our new place (conveniently located near here!). Heard really good things about this place. It was actually really packed at 8pm, but cleared out before we left. We sat at the bar, as those were the only seats available! I ordered the Flautas and my boyfriend ordered the Spicy Buffalo Wings. The Flautas were OK, not a ton of flavor. I really liked the Feta though! The wings were OK. The sauce on them was sweet and spicy (more on the sweeter side… almost like a BBQ sauce). This place is getting crazy good reviews, and I feel like it’s not the best food… so maybe we ordered the wrong items on the menu… We will probably go back and check out some other items, especially since we’re so close to it! Super nice wait staff and bartenders!

My roommate and I stumbled into this gem after a late night of bowling at West Seattle Bowl. I personally was not too hungry so I ordered the fry-​nachos which was unbelievable but the main event, and talk of the night, was the Buffalo/​Bison Burger. This burger was by far one of the best tasting burgers I have tried in all of Seattle. This place is five start all across the board. From the bartenders, to the servers, to the quality of food and price. I will defiantly be returning to The Bridge, next time will have to be for breakfast.

The first few times we went here the food was phenomenal. The last two times it has been mediocre. The service is hit-​or-​miss depending what server you get. The drinks never disappoint. Fun stop for Hawks games as they have a number of tv’s and projectors. They have a game shelf, but it is minimal.

This place is legit! I have enjoyed this place for several years but the last week has been embarrassing for me. I have started limiting my carb intake and they to keep it to a few corn tortillas with per day. Well, I stumbled upon their flautas and clouds parted in my grey, low carb world. They are amazing and filled with a good portion of chicken and the salsa they sit in is fantastic. I have been in 3 times in the last 7 days and I can’t stop eating them. On every visit the environment was great and the service was friendly! Great job Bridge!!! They are on the «fresh sheet» so if you are reading this review months after posting they might not exist but hopefully they will :-)

Love this place. Great cocktails — kick ass Bloody Mary, and my favorite specialized cocktail here is the Bridge 75. It’s delicious and not too sweet. I’ve only had apps here which have been great — try the French fry bar for a yummy and cheap snack. Service is always pretty good, but I’ve had issues a few times with getting noticed after I’ve Been sat. really friendly bartenders, plenty of TVs if you’re looking to watch a game!

Just a quick update: Have now been back about 7 times and still have no critical remarks. If you’re lucky enough to catch their cream of spinach soup for dinner, do it! One cup is enough as it’s very rich but more than satisfying. The black pepper house-​made biscuits are another «must try.» The fries are beer-​battered and oh so good (and good for you — I just know it) … Michael regretfully stated the chicken sausages are one of the few things that aren’t made in house, but they are worth a try also. Caprese sliders are made with the pesto marinated chicken breast on some excellent potato buns. Oh, and their Eggs Benedict is still definitely one of the best in Seattle. You can see from my pics that I’ve had the Biscuits & Gravy more than once so you can sort of guess how I feel about those. :)

To describe this place as a sports bar doesn’t give it enough justice. I come here for the food. The energetic atmosphere and good food makes it a very good place to hang out.

«Outstanding!»
Simply outstanding!
The Bridge is hands down, my absolute most favorite sports bar! I very highly recommend this place and give it 5 stars!!! From the amazing menu and chef, to the phenomenal Bartenders and incredible wait staff… The moment my husband and I walk in the door, we just feel that cool «relaxed wow» vibe!
That kind of really cool place, everyone wants to go to, to just hang out and relax! It’s the attitude of the place… Brandon B. is an integral part of that vibe & attitude. With his incredible personality, bar tending skills, quick wit and charm. Brandon makes everyone feel so welcome. Whether he’s suggesting a new drink or a new food for us to try, or making me my all time fav, that he introduced me too «The Pear Mojito» Made with absolute pear, (Indescribably delicious)! Summer Dream, is the drink to try…(«made in a chilled martini glass ladies”=), with shaken & strained Ketel orange, and a rainbow of other goodness… poured into said glass, while floating some champagne on top!
«Wow» «Wow» Yum!
And of course, it has to be said… One of my favorite meals at The Bridge, is The Classic Bridge Burger on a brioche bun. With cheese curds as an appetizer. «Oh my goodness!!» You just can’t go wrong, at The Bridge… Enjoy!!!

Loving this California Ave spot just north of the Fauntleroy Junction. Notoriously the go-​to spot for sports parties in their previous location on 35^th, they bring the same vibe and spruce it up a little here in their new digs.
The menu is well thought-​out, with good focus and cross-​over (ingredients used in different ways in different dishes, cutting waste and allowing them to buy quality in bulk. Keeps prices reasonable). Still in evidence are the wonderful bacon-​wrapped dates, stuffed with goat cheese and served with a balsamic reduction, an all-​time fave. The burgers here are amazing, and those looking for munchies at the bar will rejoice in their «fry bar», featuring sweet potato, regular, and garlic-​parmesan fries with a choice of sauces and toppings. Plenty of gluten free and low-​carb options too. Really, a great menu without too many choices, but hitting all the requisite marks.
I had the Stuffed Poblano, a gluten-​free and low-​carb offering that comes vegetarian with the option of adding chicken or steak. Me being me, I got the steak– wow! Super good! Black beans, zucchini, carrot and onion in a poblano pepper with lean, thin-​sliced steak, a bit of cheese and a lovely lime-​cilantro cream sauce. Awesome, and healthy! So much flavor.
Service was friendly and prompt, atmosphere was neighborhood upscale sports-​bar without being overbearingly locker-​room. Music was too loud– remember to adjust the music according to the level of business. Cleanliness was good. Prices are average for the neighborhood, and a good value for what you get. Recommended!

Good food, good service, and good TV setup for gameday viewing; The Bridge is a great place to watch a Seahawks game or just hang out with friends.
If you’re wondering what to order– get the cheese curds. Dear Lord, those things are good! The Bridge has never disappointed me with the quality of their food, and they have a good selection. My husband can even find tasty gluten free options (like the bacon wrapped dates).
The drinks are reasonably priced, and they have a good selection of beers and cider on tap. I’ve found their mix drinks to be generously poured and well mixed, too. The wait staff is also good at giving recommendations, and I’ve never been disappointed when I have asked what they would suggest.
Finally, I have always found the service to be stellar. Even though the place keeps pretty busy, the servers and bartenders make your drinks and food appear quickly. Additionally, game day can be crowded, but even when I have arrived late, they are really great at finding a space.
I love The Bridge and look forward to my next experience there!

We came here for a friends birthday after party! The restaurant was pretty packed so ended up checking out the patio! Wow great patio! And it was almost completely empty because the weather didn’t look promising! Love that some of the tables have fire pits (though the server wasn’t 100% sure how to start it). I’m sure the patio gets packed in the summer or nice weather days!
Really good drinks!
They have some pretty decent cheese curds!
I have heard amazing things about their brunch which is next on my list to try!

If you’re turned off by the possibility of this bing to much of a dive /​sports bar; don’t be.
Food is good /​great.
And the service is really good; outstanding even… You can tell that the employees are genuinely happy to be on their shift, bartenders love what they do and the cooks seem inspired and proud of their work.
If you have yet to venture south of The Junction… Here’s your excuse.

The brunch is gooooooood. So is the bacon bloody mary!
Expect to spend a buck though, not a cheap place.
The atmosphere is interesting since they sell themselves (from the outside) as a sportsbar but the tv angles/​booths/​bar chairs aren’t spaced in a manner that condones blissful sports watching.
The brunch scene at 9a when they open is very nice. AKA barely anyone in there! I got to enjoy a delicious brunch with my guy after a soccer clinic with no wait! YAY!
The bridge bene (their version of eggs benedict) is pretty interesting. It has a poached egg with thin slice of ham and hollandaise sauce over a very sweet peppered biscuit. It was different for sure.
I will recommend the brunch to anyone and once I visit during games I will comment on the actual screen visibility from seats :)

I absolutely love this place for game day.
Breakfast lunch or Dinner. It comply cent be beat.
Fabulous service week in week out. Always good food. Love love the chicken fried steak and eggs with mimosa.
Totally adequate prices and tv’s freaking everywhere. If you want to watch your team play, guaranteed it’s on here in game day. College pro alike. Also World Series, MLS. It doesn’t matter. And they don’t favor anyone. First come first served.
Finally a real sports bar in west Sesttle to replace the Roxsport!!!

This place is definitely our go-​to for an awesome and casual meal — friendly staff, good food and never a hit to the wallet. Brunch is a must (get the bacon Bloody Mary) and for as plain as eggs, bacon & toast might sound, it’s not. Savory, spicy and a perfect portion! For something heavier, try the Chicken Fried Streak!
For lunch and dinner, I’m a huge fan of the Caprese Sliders or their Lamb Burger. Tip: Ask for a side of their habanero aioli to dunk the accompanying fries with and for sure check out their new patio!

This is a great spot to enjoy the game and catch up with your friends. The food has its appeal, but I wouldn’t put it on my list of places to return to.
One star is deducted for the drinks I ordered.
–Strawberry Fields Forever: (off the specialty cocktails menu) tasted like sprite and marishino flavoring. I kept asking myself «Where is the booze???» It was filled in a tall, beer glass and LOADED with ice. I sucked it down in less than five minutes just to see if I got that usual, boozy headrush… nothing. I’m guessing it was a one ounce pour. For $ 8, not worth it… unless overpriced sugar water is your thing.
–Moscow Mule: this is always my go to when my first selection disappoints me. I figure, people can’t mess it up because it’s so widely known and basic to make.
Meh. There was the equivalent to half a sliced lime in it, as well as too much ice (again) and just lacked any sort of well-​made quality.
**Food**
This is where they shine.
–Open Face Empenada (with pork): this is such a GOOD IDEA!!! I found I was savoring every delicious bite and was enough to fill me up but not bloat me out.
–Philly Cheesesteak: I felt really sorry for my date because this sandwich was so tiny!!! The taste was on point, but the portions could use some tweaking. Not enough fillings OR a big enough bun… but the fries were piping hot!
–Ice Cream Sandwich: this is big enough to share! We wound up getting one each and by the half-​way point, I couldn’t finish it. It was very tasty, I wish I had more room in my tummy!
**Location**
This place is a little easier to get to/​find parking than downtown, plus the view, makes for a great spot to feel like your in the city without actually being there.
**Service**
The host was great getting us a table; very friendly.
The food and drinks came out faster than you expect for a friday.
But our waitress? Was slow in getting our bill and just seemed panicked most of the time.
