Good low key bar, didn't order food but got beers and watched football playoffs. Not as good as their previous location, in my opinion, because it's smaller and lacks the charm of their dive bar appeal previously, but the service was good read more

The staff is nice, the beer is cold, and the drinks are strong. HOWEVER- Avoid the gaggle of shitty teachers that hang out in the front section. Not only are they rude, but they loudly talk shit about their students. The loud queen even mocked his student with cerebral palsy (and will frequently and loudly mock other patrons). Honestly, I am surprised he hasn't gotten his face caved in by someone. Look, teachers and parents deserve a couple drinks more than most, but this specific group of teachers fucking suck and kill the vibe for the whole bar. IDGAF if they are regulars - you lose more regulars (and just walk-ins) due to this group of ass hats. I've watched it with my own eyes countless times. read more

An old school dive/sports bar located in a block of bars and restaurants in the center of the upscaling Greenwood district. It's on an interesting block that gets an eclectic mix of folk from the various residential neighborhoods that border the main street on which the bar sits. The food is reliable bar fare, with sandwiches and burgers at reasonable prices. There's a good variety of beer to be had as well, with the usual Seattle mix of microbrews, but it's not so stuffy that you can't get a can of Vitamin R. I meet up with friends whenever I make my twice-yearly trips out to Seattle, and Bleachers is our usual meeting spot. It's a good place for a small group to sit, talk, watch a game on TV, and get some good, filling food. If I were living in another neighborhood in town, it's not a place I'd make the trip to visit. However, if I lived in the neighborhood, it would definitely be a place I'd be a regular. read more

Love this place! So many TVs and great food! The bartenders are nice and attentive and they have so many pull tabs!

Happy watching the Kraken game here. They have plenty of seating, lots of TV's, a full bar, and a great pub menu. Had the Kraken Burger and Buffalo wings with beer, and both were good choices. Had great service. It would have been better if we won, but that is not Bleacher's fault. Maybe next visit. read more

The staff allows repeat customers who are problematic to continue returning because they have been repeat customers. One customer who kept harassing us while we played darts, and harassed the m bartenders and customers who were just trying to defend the repeat customers for some unknown reason. We apologized to this guy and tried to continue playing darts. This guy kept playing darts and kept. telling other players advice when we were just trying to play darts. Eventually my boyfriend stood up for me and said no we don't need advice. This guy then got irritated and said these "bitches" and tried to continue giving advice though we didn't ask for it. Eventually my boyfriend stood up for me and asked the man to leave but he said he was a regular and that the bar would defend him. My boyfriend and friends felt that it would be best and leave the bar. Don't go to Bleachers and don't buy anything from them. read more

Worst experience I've had in years! Invited friends (8 of us) to meet there to watch football and eat. We arrived at 5 PM and ordered a pizza at 5:30. The rest of our group trickled in and ordered drinks & food as well. Everyone else in the group got their food by 6, including salads, chicken wings, pizza, etc. But not us. When 6:30 came around and our pizza hadn't arrived, I asked the waitress where our pizza was? She said she'll look into it, came back and said they had accidentally burnt it but making another one now. Another half hour goes by, no pizza. Asked her again at 7 when to expect our pizza l? She was non apologetic, just asked if we still want it? We were like yeah we still want it, been waiting forever. Another half hour goes by, still no pizza. On my way to the bathroom I asked the cooks, do you know what's up with the combo pizza we've been waiting two hours for? And they're like talk to your waitress, she never entered it. Long story long, the pizza didn't arrive until 8 PM as we were leaving and wasn't that good. 2 1/2 hours for a pizza?! No apologies? It was the worst experience ever! read more

First off, if the awesome, naturally-friendly, Professional, experienced ,blonde bartender, who knows how to work a bar, who was working last Saturday night, ISN'T working, it's up in the air. Luckily, the consistent, intuitive, friendly, non-rushed, genuinely nice, and genuinely interested in you being in her bar WAS working, made for an awesome night. I was ordering a pizza and she suggested a better type of order which was the special of the night and basically was my exact order. Just a few bucks off. That says a lot right there. You know those extra dollars knocked off my bill went into her tip. (Since she helped me save them.) The pizza is absolutely amazing. It's always fresh, always hot and as long as the young blonde bartender, who is usually always there, who has a great repos with all of her customers. Bleachers used to be up the street about 15 blocks and it was one of my most loved bars in the Greenwood area of its time. Now it is moved down the street in a hot area with lot's of competition in the area. That is my all-time favorite nighttime hang out zone of Greenwood. Across the street from the Baranoff, next to where the Crosswalk used to be. Check it out on nights that they have Quiz Night or Dart Competions (friendly). All around great Bar/Pub/Joint. We will be back. read more

Great service and drinks. Staff is attentive! Drink/beer selection is great. Great atmosphere.

My friend is a regular here and invited a group of us to watch the Zags play during March Madness. Read some of the reviews and was kind of skeptical but if my friend likes it, I definitely trust his opinion--so I gave it a shot! I had no expectations for the bar food but the mini corn dogs and chickens wings were appetizing! Great combo to pair with a pitcher of beer. Chicken wings are easy to mess up, but Bleachers has some AMAZING wings! Crisp on the outside and moist on the inside. Can't go wrong with corn dogs. But holy smokes!!! The chocolate lava cake, in my opinion, is by far the best I've had here in Seattle. You'll want to check that out. Here during HH and not badly priced if you ask me! Managed to spend under $30 here for food and drinks compared to other sports bars. I love how many TVs are in here, plus all the open seating! Honestly, if I lived closer I think I would hangout here a lot with my friends. ALSO, shoutout to Katie, the bartender who was working on Thursday afternoon, YOU ROCK. You held down the fort on your own and major thanks to the kitchen staff for feeding us. read more

Worst service ive ever had. I brought a brought of 20+ and the bartender had an attitude the entire time it was ridiculous. I understand if we were all out of hand but we just wanted dinner and tried to watch the ners game. F that read more

Good place to catch a sports telecast, food is good, bar games (darts, golden tee) are available. Service is good too.

This bar is very friendly and has a great atmosphere. They have excellent pub grub and affordable drinks. They have a lot of wide screen tvs where you can watch the game. My pizza took a bit long to come out, but I didn't mind and they gave me a free beer to compensate, which i appreciated. read more

I can't speak to the food, but the vibe is great if you're looking for a divey sports bar to watch a game or have some late-night drinks.

So since my last review we have come here at least 5 times & I don't know why I haven't updated!!??!!?? Stopped by today to watch a little college football. They have a total of 15 tvs including one in each the mens & womens restrooms. The food is still great for the tiny kitchen & one chef. Their nachos are a particular favorite of ours. Stil free popcorn & 10 beers on tap. The bartender/waitress hustles & is super friendly. Free shuffleboard, 2 pool tables, 4-5 dart boards, Golden Tee & Deer Hunter video games. Parking lot still difficult to navigat & outside still needs a paint job/face lift. read more

Sorry, guys (patrick matt,alex, tony,chris, peter, nobody) , Imma haff to buck the system here. I've been here twice, both times to watch nfl games (I know, I'm such a redneck for watching such barbarism!) and am considering going again tonight. The food is ok-it's better than wendy's, crack in the box, or taco bell. They serve mac and jacks, which is my brew of choice, and they do have 13 tvs, as tony g scribes. The patrons of bleachers are the same patrons you'd probably find in lake city, kent, or renton-but if you can deal with that (I'm from yakima, damnit, I can deal-I may not like it, but I can deal), then you're set. read more

Bleachers Pub - patrons of bleachers.....is that dolly parton on the right? - Pubs Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I've been searching Seattle for a place that has great nachos served with cheese sauce. Found it! Definitely the best nachos I've had since moving here... and I've had quite a few. The nachos at Bleachers normally come with either beef or chicken, but I asked to substitute chili instead. Delicious! I could envision myself gaining serious weight if I lived close to Bleachers. But that aside, I wasn't too impressed with the service. The place felt understaffed. There was one period where I didn't see anyone who worked there for about 10 minutes. I imagine they were doing prep work or something in the back. They were gone so long, that one couple came in, sat down, looked around uncomfortably for a while, then got frustrated and left without the staff ever seeing them. And back to the good things! There is a wall of over 10 screens with one huge projector screen in the middle. They were showing football, baseball, and Ultimate Fighting. Look to the wall to the left of the huge projector screen and you'll see a large whiteboard with the important upcoming games. Surprisingly as well, Bleachers was clean. There was a fresh smell to the place, which I didn't expect at all. read more

Bleachers Pub - Nachos with chili instead of beef or chicken. Delicious! - Pubs Near Me - Seattle, Washington

The ambience is unpretentious and there is many screens to view a game. The food is below average and pretty overpriced for what you get. Beer selection is fine for a dive bar. read more

My absolute favorite bar for football. They are proudly a football bar, not a Seahawks bar, so if you are a fam of another team you can always catch your game. And the big screen and sound is always on hawks. So great for hawks fans as well. read more

Be prepared to miss a quarter or two of your game. This is in my neighborhood and aFter enjoying the old Bleachers many times I really wanted to make this my regular sports bar. It definitely has the sports theme, if only they actually cared about sports. This was my second day in a row when I sat among several people decked out in UW Huskies gear basically begging the staff to put the UW game on. They seem to be consistently understaffed, whether it is packed, as it was in my last visit, or, perhaps understandably, relatively slow as it was this time. Combine the lack of staff, the low concern about the biggest local sports events, and the way modern games are bounced around different stations, and you have virtually no hope of seeing the whole game (letting alone actually being able to hear it. I don't expect all servers in a putative sports bar to be big sports fans, but I do expect the management to have them prepared for the larger local events, and for them to at least seem to care about their theme -- particularly when half their customers are plainly dressed for a particular game. Bleachers can be a pleasant little neighborhood joint with standard pub fare and a nice clientele. It can still be a reasonable choice as long as you aren't looking for anything fancy and don't care too much about seeing a game. But I'm a sports fan so it's really not for me. read more

Food has the comfort of bar food, but is sit-down restaurant quality. You can also watch the chef prepare your food. There are plenty of tvs dedicated to every kind of sport. Service is a little spotty. The bartender seemed more concerned with counting the stock and performing administrative tasks rather than serving the customers. A couple came in, sat themselves, waited 10 minutes, and left without ever being acknowledged and the bartender didnt notice. read more

Bleachers Pub - Delicious Southwest burger with a side of bbq sauce - Pubs Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Going here if you don't watch sports is like going to a steak & rib house if you're a vegetarian. Pointless, and more then just a little unsettling. read more

Before tonight, I didn't know this place existed at all. Now I do. Which is a pretty good thing. Now that I know where it is, I can make sure to avoid it. Hurray for learning new things!! read more

Seattle yelpers, why so much hate for Bleachers? They have a good variety of cold beer that isn't overpriced. Their food is good, and I've had everything here from potato skins to steaks. Hell, my wife who is crazy about the "organic and natural" crap ordered a salad the last time we were there and gave it the thumbs up! The staff has always been helpful and courteous, even when the place is packed with drunktards. Most importantly, since it is a SPORTS BAR, they have a crapload of TVs and every sports package known to man. This is an important point, since it is a damn SPORTS BAR. It seems as though this is some kind of alien concept to many of the reviewers who had commented on Bleachers previously. What were you expecting with the giant sports related banners outside the place? $5 PBRs served by dudes in skinny jeans? Lattes and poetry night? If you like sports, decent food and cold beers, this is the place for you. If you don't, well there's Neptune coffee about a block down the road where you can play board games and enjoy a vegan soy latte. read more

Bleachers is the type of place you go to simply chill. There's a jukebox which is kept at a volume where you can still talk to your friends without having to shout in their ear. With two pool tables, four dartboards, a shuffleboard, golden tee, buck hunter, and some kind of electronic game table, there's always something to do. Free popcorn!! But the thing that stands out most is the diverse crowd of people that hang out here. People are real friendly, funny, and a lot of fun. Introduce yourself to a crowd of dart players, and in five seconds, they will be begging you to join them for a game. Another plus is the staff. Very cute and sweet girls, until you disrespect them. They're not afraid to kick people out. And if there's a local game, you get to watch it on the biggest screen in Seattle. There is a review on here that said the bartender didn't pay enough attention to the table. Umm...a BARtender tends to the BAR. Stop whining cuz you're too lazy to go up and get a drink. read more

Was visiting from out of town and was looking for a good sports bar to watch a game at. When I arrived I was greeted immediately and was given a drink. From there is went downhill. The whole bar was staffed by 2 bar tenders who were working hard but was impossible to serve everyone and keep the areas clean. Took a while to get food order in and receive after. A guy that was drinking in the crowd would change TV channels (assuming owner/other worker). When I asked him to change a channel he said he couldn't because they didn't have that channel...... 30 minutes later one of the locals asked for the channel and he jumped up to change it immediately. There are 7 TVs in the bar area and I asked for the corner TV that no one was watching. Food was good but nothing spectacular. Overall was unimpressed. read more

I've come to this place on many Tuesdays for their FREE Bingo that starts at 7pm. Everyday they do a drink special that will go on until supplies last and the tacos on Tuesday are $1.50 (as a tip - the soft tacos go faster than the hard shell). They have had many great food specials of the day and one that I can remember is their "Totchos" which are nachos but instead of chips, they use tots. It satisfied my hunger for sure. Half of the establishment is family friendly while the bar area is 21+. They welcome children and often times you will see families here even on Bingo night. The wait staff is very courteous in helping with selecting the sports channel of your choice on one of the many screens that they have. A thing I've noticed is that they have a lot of regulars and they are very nice. One couple invited us to a game of darts and they brought their own fancy darts that they let us use. I have been coming here even when they were at their older location and this location is much brighter. As a note for those who haven't been to the new location... they no longer have pool tables. They have shuffleboard, two dart boards and a jukebox though. The staff informed me that next door has pool tables. I love coming here weekly and highly recommend it. read more

This is a sports bar, not a fine dining restaurant. That being said, as far as I'm concerned, Bleachers is one of the best places to watch a game/match/whatever you're in to. I don't live in the Greenwood area but I definitely do NOT mind coming up here to catch the games with friends. If you're looking for a place to have a good view of the game(s), have fun with friends, eat some bar food, and drink some adult-restricted beverages - Bleachers is one of the best sports bars in Seattle! read more

Bleachers Pub - Bleachers is ready for the big game! Go Hawks! - Pubs Near Me - Seattle, Washington

It's great if you're looking for a modest sports bar with sports bar stuff and sports bar drinks and sports bar TVs.

Folks giving this place a bad review need to figure it out! This is a sports bar. If you don't like sports then please don't come here. Plenty of TV's here to watch your favorite sporting event, although the big TV in the center has a slight yellow hue to it. Might need replacing. They have a great happy hour with some decent foods on it. PBR pitchers for 7.50 are always a great thing. Place smells slightly like cigarretes and beer but it adds character! Also its only when you walk in, after you're there for a while it totally blends in :) All in all, great sports pub. Cheap drinks, lots of fun! read more

I can't imagine there's a better sports bar in the north Seattle neighborhoods. On Sundays, they have all the NFL games (great for fantasy fanatics) and the regular crowd is nice and spirited. During the NFL off-season, it's a great place to catch the Dawgs, M's, Sounders, etc. Just call ahead if you're concerned your favorite team won't be on -- they tend to be very accommodating. Hands down best nachos I've ever had. If you're not a sports fan... or at least a fan of sports bars... this probably isn't your kind of joint. That should be pretty obvious. read more

Came here for NYE just to be out. It wasn't too packed, which was good, and I wasn't drinking so I didn't have to worry about the bar. One of the staffers walked around passing out cups of champagne so everyone could toast (I drank that) and once the countdown began, everyone started in unison and then yaaaaay! My friends and I played shuffleboard; my first time playing this game and it was actually pretty fun. I'd come here a few years ago and will likely be back again. The pub is clean, well-lit, lots of TVs, plenty of seating, and the staff is nice. Parking is easy and it's mostly on the street since the parking lot is small. All in all, Bleachers is a nice spot. =) read more

I used to like bleachers when they were down the street and had a big bank of TV's. you could watch any sport you like. now they are totally baseball and football. I like to watch the sounders but the last couple of times I came in to watch a match I would ask and get insulted for liking soccer by the bouncer and the patrons. three screens in front of the bar all the same game and no sounders. wtf? good luck staying afloat years when the mariners, seahawks and huskies suck. this location was way better when it was Bills. you could bring your family in. when they opened in this site as bleachers they actually advertised to welcome families. it didn't take long for all the families to get scared away. the food is ok though read more

The main reason this place gets two stars as opposed to one is the fact that they typically show the big local games, and if you have a request for a specific game, they will do whatever they can accomodate it. The televisions are mostly located in one central area where a majority of the seating is. The food is the definition of "hit or miss". I've had good and I've had bad. The bad was chicken strips & fries upon which the 'cook' felt it necessary to douse the entire thing in excess salt. Probably the worst experience in "how to screw up a simple deep-fry job" ever. What makes the place realtively poor is that the wait-staff is fairly inattentive. They don't stay on top of your needs, and you find yourself heading to the bar everytime you need a refill. This may very well be a function of inadequate staffing numbers, but that seems to always be the case here. The worst part: I'd say 4 of every 10 times I go here the place smells like a urinal cake. The whole place. It's like one giant men's bathroom. Everytime that's happened, I immediately turn around and leave. It must be great for business. I find myself going back as it's a local place with relatively inexpensive beer where you can catch a game or two with some friends. That's it. I really don't recomment this place if you can find the same level of non-service and markedly inconsistent food somewhere else! read more

Fried food, a variety of very cold domestic beer, a bunch of bar games and big TVs. Bleachers is incredibly generic, but gets the job done. Possibly the only thing that really makes it stand out are the unexpectedly-high quality of the restrooms. They always smell amazing, and have little TVs so you won't miss any action (if you're there to watch a game). read more

Ok. The fact that this is walking distance to my home earned a star. Then cheap, another star.....laid back atmosphere, another star. Otherwise it was just a normal Pub to me. TV's were cool, table was dirty (normal), line for drinks was normal. Music choice was good. I'll probably be back. Looks like Pasta night could be cool. Lacked pretentious people YESS!!!!! read more

After being regular patrons at Bleachers we went there last night for dinner (4 of us) and ordered our usual salads and were disappointed that they were not like what had come to expect. The grilled chicken salad had very little chicken (and what was there was tiny) and not the regular cheddar cheese that brought it all together - and simply was not satisfying. The house salad was 1/2 the size it use to be and they charged for extra dressing - The special for the evening, which is usually extremely good - never arrived. We had to go to the bar to order our drinks and food - no biggie as we expect that - but the food was not to standard. Needless to say, the four of us were extremely disappointed as Bleachers had not met their standards. Sad for us, we don't want to go back. read more

well I guess if you like sports this place has a little redeeming quality. The beer is what you might expect, all domestic with unclean lines. The kitchen is pretty much non-existent so I didn't eat. Just watched the game and drank a couple of bad beers. I won't be back. read more

I'm not a big fan of the lighting, or even the parking situation, or even the food. And the drinks are sort of really ridiculously expensive for what is essentially an overgrown dive with sports blasting on a kind of cartoonish amount of screens. But let me tell you why I still give it two stars. I like the people. And I like the relaxed atmosphere, and the space, and sometimes you want a really, really bad taco for $1 at 9pm on a Tuesday. And they can provide that. One star all together for Bingo night--- they really make it fun. Is Bleachers mediocre? Well, yeah. But I don't really want to go to a "nice sports bar" or a "dive bar" every time. This is someplace in the middle. ... Seriously guys, fix the lighting though. ... No one needs to see every detail in a sad drunk's face from across the room because the lights are up so high. Yeeeeesh. Tl;dr: good for sports and day drinking, bad tacos, awesome crowds and space, but bad pricing and lighting. read more

For a place that calls its self a sports bar this place really missed the mark. I will say that it is nice you can bring your family in. Probably the only high light. Came in for the MLS cup final, and walked into a packed house (sounds good so far right). Come to find out there I only 1 bartender and 1 cook working. You'd think for a sports pub they would have staffed up for a Seattle sporting event. Especially if it's a game that could win a title. Was told it would take an hr and a 1/2 to get burgers and fries. Really!! Decided to just grab some chips from the Safeway down the street. After more staffed showed up tried to order again. Only this time being told they were out of burgers. Not very good management if you ask me. I get that a place will run out of food, but when you're a sports pub and a Seattle team is vying for a title you should have things better sorted out. Probably not going to be going back for another sporting event, regular season or post. read more
