My first experience at Beardsley Public House last night for dinner! Great open space for bar side our server was phenomenal and his mustache was amazing!! We started off ordering a couple drinks lemon drop and Old Fashioned and a couple appies. Szechuan chicken wings - these are to die for! The sauce was so flavorful and delicious! We would have just stuck with ordering a couple side of wings!! These are a must try!! Crispy chicken skewers - We personally were not impressed just chicken on a stick with what seem to be like corn flake breading. Not our fav but maybe yours! We added hot sauce which helped them out a little!! Our main dishes we ordered Rigatoni Bolognese - I thought it was pretty decent and flavorful! Worth a try! My BF originally ordered the Lemon Caper Chicken which came out raw/pink in the middle and definitely not cooked through. We sent it back and had absolutely no issues doing so. From there he chose the Beef stroganoff he stated it needed to be doctor up a bit. Overall we had a great experience last night! My BF had been there a couple others times for drinks and appies. read more

I'm going to start this off by saying how much I don't like giving three stars, I feel like it's not very helpful to readers, but if there was ever a three star-worthy restaurant, it would be Beardsley Public House. We came in for dinner the other night, just my husband and I, and the server was very prompt....at first. Came back a couple of times within the first three minutes and we hadn't had a chance to look at the menu. But then, they didn't come back for a long while. The menu itself is very broad, lots of great selections. I opted for the Grilled Cheese and Prosciutto and my husband had the Beef Stroganoff. My sandwich looked fantastic but, upon picking it up, it was actually a soggy mess. The Beef Stroganoff was basic. Our dessert, crème brûlée, was barely caramelized. We couldn't understand the prices of either our dinners, nor anything on the menu for that matter - my sandwich was $18 and the stroganoff was $29. The prices themselves wouldn't be a deal breaker, but then they add a 20% service charge as default, all of which goes to the restaurant itself, with the explanation of "providing industry leading compensation", "training for a successful career path", and the resulting "increase(d) labor cost". You would think the high cost would compensate for the need to do that. That said, two drinks and two dinners and one dessert cost us $100. If we were going to spend that on an average meal, we would have gone literally anywhere else. The menu is great (in theory), the food is okay, it's expensive. It's a solid three stars and diners should be aware of the pros and cons before going in. read more

The place was very nice and the service and food was amazing. All food was made from scratch. The price was a little high. The tip was included in all meals. I would go back ! ! read more

I want to be fair. I don't really like most pub food & I really haven't for a long time. I only eat it when I'm with people who insist on it. I understand that taste is subjective and I don't try to force people to only eat what I want when I go out. I just wish that people weren't so enamored with this kind of food. What this ends up meaning for me is I have to work hard to find something on the menu that I won't end up hating. I was successful here and found the jambalaya, which was excellent. I usually find the thing I'm going to like at these sort of spots by looking for the thing that wouldn't normally be regarded as pub food and I nailed it with the jambalaya. The space was honestly pretty cool & the service was good. A lot of people really like John Howie and I hear a lot of enthusiasm about his restaurants. I moved out of WA nearly 6 years ago now and I haven't tried the others but after I saw the note on the menu about the 20% service charge, I never will. This is part of the crap that made my family decide to leave WA after loving it and living there our entire lives. If you feel like restaurant staff should make the same wages as people who went to college or learned a trade & are laboring in their learned fields, just raise your prices accordingly & pay them what you think is fair. Don't pull this sneaky crap where you post a menu but add a massive, surprise surcharge that really impacts the bottom line & affordability of your offering. Those of us who actually worked very hard for tips at some point in our lives and were lucky to get 15% if we really hustled are just annoyed at this garbage. I carried thousands of pounds of luggage, adhered to extremely tight schedules all while fighting Seattle traffic & entertaining people I was driving to the airport back when I was working my way through school and more often than not, I was lucky to get a $2 tip on a $90 fare. Was that right or in line with tipping etiquette? No, but it is very fair if you work in the service industry to not just have a great gratuity as a forgone conclusion regardless of the level of service you provide. I had plenty of very generous tippers as well and who balanced things out. When I got repeat customers who were known crappy tippers, I provided less service. This is how it was meant to be and how it should still be. I've noticed that the level of service at every place I've eaten that pulls this crap is lower than at the places where servers know that if they work harder, they can make more. If you feel so strongly about this, just raise your prices & take the business hit from people who don't agree with you. Skip the self-righteous note on the menu and own it. I'm more likely to eat at a place who does that than a place that does the surcharge. I never return to those places & I spread the word & dock at least 2 stars on my reviews. By and large, people are over this nonsense. read more

Stopped in for happy hour in the bar and was pleased with the variety of food and bev options . Enjoyed the nachos , quinoa cakes and a lemon drop (or few) . Our waiter was friendly and efficient and I was pleased to find plates and utensils on the tables (in the bar). read more

We arrived early for our reservation, but they were fine seating us right away. They asked if we wanted to sit in the bar or dining room, and we chose a cozy table in the bar near the big stone fireplace. They have a great drink selection, with many beers and liquors crafted in house. The huckleberry lemonade was so yummy!! The server was an angel (literally, he was wearing angel wings). He made good recommendations - we got the pretzel and deviled eggs for appetizers, which came out pretty quickly. The pretzel came with mustard, cheese, and Ohmygosh honey butter so good! The deviled eggs are absolutely delicious. We also had rigatoni bolognese and the french dip - the rigatoni tasted homemade and the dip for the French dip was rich and tasty. We loved the pub atmosphere with top-notch food. Can't wait to go back!! read more

I braved the traffic to have dinner here with a friend recently. It exceeded my expectations! We stated with sharing the pretzel - always a sucker for carbs and it was very good with a couple different mustards to go with it. I had the French Dip. It was pretty massive and I didn't finish it, but it was very solid, as were the fries that came with it. My friend had some wine from what was a surprisingly food list. Service was attentive and the vibe overall was cozy. I would go back if I was in Bothell. read more

We came here today for brunch after buying a gift card at Costco so we could check the place out. We got there at 12:15 and were seated promptly. It wasn't too crowded but there were a decent amount of people watching the Seahawks game and enjoying some food. We got the pretzel to start and my husband got the pineapple mule to drink. I got the breakfast that came with scrambled eggs, toast, potatoes and your choice of bacon or sausage (I got bacon). My husband got the chicken and waffle and a side of bacon. Service was friendly and the food came out at a good pace. The pretzels came with mustard, cheese sauce, and a honey butter to dip them in. All were delicious but the cheese sauce and the honey butter were my favorite. My husband liked the honey butter so much he saved the rest for his chicken and waffle. My breakfast was pretty good but I wish the eggs didn't come with pepper in them because I'm not a fan of it. The potatoes were a touch undercooked but had good flavor. It was a big portion and I couldn't finish everything. My husband loved his chicken and waffle and ate the whole thing. I got to try a bite and thought it was good. The chicken was juicy and well cooked and the waffle went well with it. We will definitely be back to try out more of the menu. read more

Beardslee Public House is our absolute go to when we aren't sure where to grab dinner. They have a great happy hour and the menu rotates often enough that I don't get tired of it. You can't go wrong with basically anything on the menu but some of my favorites are the pepperoni pizza, caesar salad, sweet potato fries with spicy ranch, basically any salad or any burger, and the eggs benedict and beignets from the brunch menu. As far as the drinks go, they have a delicious espresso martini. I like the cosmopolitan from the happy hour menu. For weekend brunch, the blackberry fizz is amazing. Service is amazing. They will remember you after your first time there. Service is always fast. We love sitting in the bar area - it's first come first serve and the service in that area is great and we've never had to wait for a spot in there. The bar area is pretty big. Beardslee has been our go to for years and it will continue to be for years to come. read more

Late update here. Nice response from the GM, which I appreciate. All other aspects of the restaurant were great.

$17 for corn dogs basically sums it up. Extremely overpriced for generic food. Nothing there has ever made me crave to go back. It's OK in a pinch, as long as someone else is picking up the tab. read more

Great casual place for drinks and food! Large selection for drinks. I got the Ahu Tuna Sandwich, and that was a thick sandwich. It tasted delicious, and I got a side of brussel sprouts, which were cooked well with a lot of sauce (maybe could lighten up on that but overall good). The service of the place is good; I do wish they checked in sooner after getting the drinks order so that we could order our food sooner. There's a lot of parking available for this place. There's usually not a long wait for this place, so walking without a reservation is totally okay. Overall, I recommend trying this place if you're around the area! read more

I've been here many times. They offer a great happy hour with many food and beverage items. They have a wide variety of different menu options to choose from. I have yet to have a bad meal or drink when visiting. read more

Great atmosphere, amazing food, excellent service. Tried it for the first time and brought my parents and we all had a wonderful experience. Most definitely will be coming back! read more

This used to be one of my favorite restaurants but has really gone down hill lately. The service is horribly slow, our waiter constantly forgot things with our last visit. The poutine came with out gravy and the cheese curds weren't melted. My chicken was over cooked. The drinks are still great, and the wait staff is friendly. I think since the loves to a service fee instead of tipping, there's just no motivation to be great. read more

I've been eating at Beardslee Public House since 2019 when I first moved to Bothell and have enjoyed so many good meals and memories there. I hate to say it, but it's really gone downhill in the last 2 years. Prices have increased drastically, while food quality has gone way down. Service is slow, they are already out of items at 5 o clock during the start of dinner rush. I've been in contact with the manager after a bad experience last year and while he did what he could to make that particular meal right, the problems persist. High prices, bad food and a kitchen that can't keep up with the front of the house. The 20% service charge is annoying but understandable in today's restaurant landscape, but if they are going to impose this charge the food and service cannot leave anything to be desired, which it unfortunately does time after time. Best of luck Beardslee. I'm still rooting for you. read more

We had the nachos and lemon caper chicken. Both of them were amazing! I will totally be ordering both of those again! We also got the huckleberry lemonade, which was really good! read more

Great vibe, friendly staff, and a very good burger--juicy, flavorful, and well-made. The ambience is warm and inviting with a lively, modern pub feel that's perfect for a casual night out. Only downside was the parking--tight and limited. Still absolutely worth it! read more

I came with a party of 9 moms for a weekend brunch for a short break from our littles. We chose to dine here because they offer bottomless mimosas. Well, after 3 refills of the mimosas, we noticed that they were avoiding to refill our mimosas. It took about 20 mins for each round after the 3rd mimosas. When they finally refill the mimosas, it was literally all juice. Don't offer bottomless when it's not. read more

Ten reasons I love Beardslee Public House: 1) Really easy to find: During Seattle Restaurant Week it can be a challenge to find participating restaurants tucked away in Seattle neighborhoods, this was pretty easy to find. 2) Dedicated parking: it's a cute little shopping center and they had easy parking, unlike a lot of the Seattle Restaurant Week participants that have street parking. 3) Drinks while you wait: While we waited for our table the bartender visited us and asked if she could get us drinks, while we wait for our table. 4) Low Key Ambiance: It had a public house vibe with lots of natural wood and the bar was spacious with couches and a fireplace. 5) Robust menu: From everything I saw on the menu it looks like delicious options. 6) Seattle Restaurant Week participant: we didn't have to go to Seattle! 7) Staff: Bartender was fabulous, waitress was very helpful and even tolerated my questions. 8) Respectful of our time: It was unexpectedly busy and we had to wait (althought we didn't notice..we love date nights) so she comp'd two of our drinks with Hendricks and Makers! 9) Food: The menu we had to choose from was delicious. I forgot to snap pictures of it all, but we left very satisfied. 10: Dessert: Yup. I spoiled myself and had three, yes three, creme brulee desserts. Don't judge my gluttony. read more

First of all, this was my first time at this establishment the service was amazing. As soon as I walked in, they greeted me with open arms. The drinks were amazing and Ashley was very helpful new products and very knowledgeable about menu which to me is very important especially since I'm from out of state she made me feel so comfortable and made me feel at home. I'll be honest was amazing. Nostalgia in this establishment is impeccable and I would highly ask for anyone who's in the area to come here and spend money. read more

Food was pretty good, service was terrible, I asked twice for a water refill, never got it. There were 3 of us, one person didn't get their food until the other 2 were finished eating theirs. It was an Oops my bad I didn't order the other persons food attitude. I understand mistakes happen but the whole attitude was an oh well . He said come again, we will try to get it right next time. Nope won't be a next time. I do hope you treat your customers better than this! Its too bad looks like a nice place to return to. Also don't like the automatic 20% added to every bill. There is no incentive for good service. read more

The beef stroganoff was pretty good, rich sauce and decent sour cream herb topping. The sausage rigatoni has to be the BEST I've had like it in a long time and in so many cities (I travel a lot). The spice of the sausage is perfect, doesn't stick on your tongue like pepper. The rigatoni was cooked perfectly. The sauce was well balanced and flavorful. I will be ordering the rigatoni and mentioning it to many!! read more

Stopped in one week night evening for a bite to eat with a group. Staff was super pleasant and helpful with the menu. Bar side is open seating. Good size restaurant suitable to seat large groups with an ambiance for lounging, good tap beer list, and sports. Food was delicious per everyone's feedback. I had the rigatoni bolognese and was pleasantly surprised. It's a red pepper cream sauce so it has a spicy bite to it followed up with chunks of sausage. Really good and really recommend on a cold evening or in the need of comfort food! Grilled chicken was not available so the kitchen subbed as a fried chicken sandwich - very accommodating and it was good!! The only reason for the star reduction was the price of the food items. Some choices were egregious in cost which deterred me away from choosing (ex: $29 Fish n Chips - never seen that dish priced that high before). I understand times are tough, paying staff, and inflation but it's a neighborhood gastropub in a mini strip plaza - wish some items were more accommodating to the wallet. Overall, I do recommend for a good meal! read more

The fish and chips were the best I have ever had, the spinach salad was amazing! Top notch h food and the service was excellent! Jack B was our server and apparently he has worked there since they opened. If an employee is going to work at the same establishment that long and still give the best service ever you know this is a winning company! Thank you for the wonderful experience! read more

It had been 8 years since I dined here, right after they had first opened. This time I sat in the bar area for a business lunch. My smash burger and fries were excellent, our server was pleasant and efficient. Nice place to grab a weekday biz meal in Bothell. I'll be back soon. Not crazy about 20% mandatory service fees but that's their deal and they were upfront about it. read more

Had the steelhead with rice and veggies and it was soooooooo good better steelhead I have ever had service was great ambiance good 10/10 a definitely try again read more

Just ate there. Food was OK, service was OK, but the dishonest pricing pisses me off! The prices on the menu were kind of high, I thought, for what you get, but 20% surcharge means those are NOT the prices you pay (plus tax and gratuity). So, very expensive for what you get. I will avoid in future. read more

Eh, it's just okay. Went back here with a friend since it's within walking distance. We just went for drinks and appetizers over in the bar side. First, please get some smaller menus. I beg of you! Also, have a menu for the bar side. There were already two menus, just make one way smaller for the bar end and it will be so much easier. LILLIKOI "PASSIONFRUIT" MOJITO 13 5/10 Take it off the menu. There's no passion fruit in that. Also, strain the mint! It's like drinking leaves. Absolutely no. It was strong, but I wouldn't pay 13 for that drink. CUCUMBER MARTINI 14 7/10 Again? We are in Bothel, why in the world can I get this for 9 in the city and it's 14 here!? Very nice, it is refreshing. PLEASE STRAIN YOUR DRINKS, my goodness me! It was a touch too sweet, I would have backed it off just a hair just to keep it tart and refreshing. ESPRESSO MARTINI 15 caffe vita espresso, absolut vanilla, crema de sotol, crème de cacao Okay okay! 10/10 the cocktail I expect to get in the city but can't! It's very smooth. Not bitter like some can be. I wish I would have just gotten two of these. It was very delicious and smoothie with hints of chocolate BUT I can taste the espresso. It's not like chocolate milk like some people make them. This one saved everything. HOUSEMADE PRETZEL 12.5 smoked gouda sauce, honey butter & pretzel mustard Pretzel is good, outside was a different texture then the buttery pretzel one is used to when getting a soft pretzel. Ditch the mustard and just serve that honey butter with it! THAT is what makes this dish gold I love that it came with two so it is perfect for sharing and having with cocktails especially when not at a table. The cheese was nice for a savory bite and I did enjoy that very much BRUSSELS SPROUTS 12 crispy fried, lemon caper vinaigrette, parmigiano reggiano Very good. Pro tip, have the dressing on the side as it will keep them crispy longer! I love the zing the lemon gives and the saltiness from the parm. Well done here! Overall 4/5 Mainly the menus made it feel cheap. It was slightly overpriced for what it is. read more

Food and service was okay. We were surprised the place not packed for a Sunday game day. However, we found out for a table for two people only, a 20% tip was included. Additional tip was requested on top of the 20%. We ended up unknowingly tipping 35% We were never told automatic 20% tip would be mandatory for a table of two only. I don't even mind tipping a good amount to watch the game. Still, not telling us up front and then asking for another tip was just over the top. This is not during the COVID times and demand such tips seems like consumer gauging. At the end of it, we realize on game day the place was so empty perhaps other knew this place seems less than ethical. Definitely underhanded. By the way, we only found out all of this because we specifically asked for a itemized receipt which was not provided after payment, otherwise we have never know. read more

Wanting to eat somewhere different we decided to venture to Beardslee PH for dinner. The space is large and spacious with plenty of lighting. We quickly settled into the menu and ordered. * Pretzel | we always go with an order of the house made pretzel which comes with two large ones and the various dipping sauces. The cheese and mustard sauces are my favorite ones. * Burgers | two people got the burgers (one wagyu and one prime beef). The burgers were a big hit and so juicy. * Bacon Avocado Turkey Club Burger | big pass on that one. it was really bland and lacked any flavor at all. The fries it came with was the star of the dish. * Lemon caper chicken | it was an overall decent dish. Had a good amount of lemon and capers. My only two notes for improvement on the dish is add a little more sauce to the dish and cook the brussels sprouts longer (it was more on the crunchy side borderline undercooked). Overall a decent dish, but sauce and more crisped/cooked brussels would have definitely made this a "go-to" dish. read more

I stopped in at the Beardslee Public House while visiting my family and I have to say, I was so impressed with our waitress!! She was AWESOME!! Lol, my mother is a picky eaters and my friend has food allergies and our server was more than accommodating to help out with their needs! Great suggestions! I was so relieved!! The food was AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS!!! The staff was very attentive, helpful and friendly. My glass was NEVER EMPTY and that is a huge thing for me, like for real, if my glass becomes empty for a certain amount of time, tip goes down quickly! I'll definitely be coming back the next time I come home for a visit! I will tell all my friends to start going to the Beardslee Public House!!! Thank you for a great dining experience! read more

Poor service was seated but no follow up. outrageously priced. Never got a chance to try the food. Wait staff was nowhere to be found.

Awful experience! We waited an HOUR for our food to arrive! It was mediocre food at best. This was a complete fail. We will not return.

Came and visited for a work dinner and we all were not disappointed. From the service to the drinks to the food, everything was spot on! We started off with the sampler which was perfect for 4 people and there was 4 of each item so we all go to try it out! We all got Ribeyes which everyone's was cooked to perfection! Our server was Madison and she is a rockstar and really knew how to provide great service. She offered every upsell and knew exactly what we would like in regards to drinks which didn't disappoint. Overall atmosphere is relaxing and nothing crazy. They do offer many options of drinks and styles and food all around is great. Parking is a little tricky but there is a parking garage which is probably easiest to park in. This place really earned 5 stars! read more

Operating costs are insane for a restaurant! I get it! But! As a consumer, one of the few things, that should be exceedingly affordable is a salad. Unfortunately, Beardslee Public House's salads are mostly unaffordable when comparing them against nearby spots. Breakdown +1 Service including a friendly staff. +1 Ingredients +1 Drinks (e.g. craft beer) -1 Cost to quality. +1 Accesiblity Background Returning to Bothell, to review the changes and progress of Beardslee Public House, I stopped in during lunch. Walking in, I found the front of the restaurant mostly empty, without reviewing the main dining area. The host greeted me and allowed me to walk up to the bar for service. Settling on a long table near the bar, I ordered a pint of the Vienna Lager and their Chop Chop Salad. Here's the description by the business, per their online menu. "romaine, basil, salami, grilled & chilled chicken, chickpeas, tomatoes, artichoke, olives, mozzarella, parmigiano vinaigrette." Receiving the pint and shortly after, my Chop Chop Salad, something was clearly amiss. In my review, I have included a representation of the serving size of the salad, which was priced at $19. Comparing, it's evident that nearby Sparta Pizza sells a larger salad for $16. Now, I'm sure the price of $19 includes the cost to maintain the lease on the building Beardslee Public House is operating out of. But, the fact remains, this was not an equitably priced salad. But how did it taste? As this is a Chop Chop, not to be confused with a Chop Salad, I'd say it was well seasoned and with the right amount of protein. My only issue was the lack of artichoke, salami, and chickpeas. Adding insult to injury, Beardslee Public House includes an involuntary 20% service charge on your bill, contributing to the souring of this experience. So, would I order the salad again? Probably not. The beer? Of course! There was nothing wrong with that! Overall, in reviewing the various menu prices at Beardslee Public House, it's clear the business is less concerned with creating a salad that inspires value. The Chop Chop salad, at least, fits this definition. As always, your individual experience will vary. read more

Giving it a 3 for food and ambiance. The crispy Buffalo chicken wings are probably the best we've ever had. The chop chop salad was fresh with a decent amount of chicken. The shrimp scampi pizza was delicious (could have used more shrimp for the price). We had a lovely shaded outdoor spot under grapevines. Our frustration came with our server. I'll call him "H". It took awhile for him to show up. We ordered drinks and wings. We wait and wait, finally drinks show up. He brought a glass for one of the sodas and it was a greasy, dirty glass. We noticed it after he walked away. Now to find him. Disappeared...again. We finally asked another server, who was fantastic, to change glass and he was on it. Someone else brought wings. We still want to order lunch. No "H" to be found. This went on with ordering, trying to get boxes, getting the bill. Why on earth should I have to pay this dude a mandatory 20%? I'd tip the other server all day long! He deserved it, but not "H". Not going back as long as this mandatory 20% stays in place. It's a bummer because we really liked the food an atmosphere. read more
