    6 Summers
    Amanda V.

    Because Good Bar is conveniently located down the street from Lumen Field, we popped in for Happy Hour on the way to N2 of Metallica this weekend. The bar was busy, but service was quick. The Mediterranean salads and hummus plate were excellent! The 6 Summers cocktail offering was good, as well. The space's interior is fascinating to study with its epic crown moldings and vault doors. Multiple seating options with outdoor tables, indoor tables, bar seating, and additional options on the mezzanine.

    The food that never came... we waited for 45 minutes for a flatbread. The bartender in the back never gave the kitchen our order.

    This was our worst experience on our mini vacation in Seattle. I was surprised at all the reviews of "friendly service" because that is the opposite of what we got. We stopped by while we had an hour to spare before a walking tour and this bar was nearby. We ordered 2 sodas and a mushroom flatbread pizza. There was only one person sitting at the bar and one table of four, so I figured our order would be quick and easy. The bartender, who also served as the cashier, took my order. I asked if I could use a large bill. It was about 4pm in the afternoon which I know is early for a bar but he took the cash. I would have rather he refused and made me pay card because afterwards, he was so gruff it made us feel unwelcome. We waited patiently for 40 minutes for our flatbread pizza while slowly sipping our sodas. I could see the people at the kitchen were moving around but nothing was coming out. We only had about 10 minutes to get to our location and I was confused why we hadn't received our order. By this time, the bar had picked up with more people, but still, not one thing had come out of the kitchen. My husband asked the bartender if our pizza was on the way and he begrudgingly responded, "I don't know. I have no control over the kitchen" and continued making drinks. By this time, we were already late so we headed out the door. I didn't even want to ask for a refund because I just didn't want the bartender's energy anymore. I don't want to go this route but we were the only patrons of color in the place and he just didn't make us feel welcome. I haven't felt that way in Seattle at any of the places we visited but I could tell that he just didn't want to serve us. I noticed also that he went to two other tables and delivered plateware and silverware for food they ordered but he had never given us any. As we were walking out the door, I noticed one of the kitchen staff taking out a pizza out of the oven. I asked my husband to go back in to maybe get the pizza to-go. He went in and talked directly to the kitchen staff. There were two people working. One person said it was his very first day (maybe that's why it was slow?) but the other experienced kitchen member confirmed through the food tickets that he had never received an order for a mushroom flatbread. The prosciutto pizzas they were making were for other people who came after us. It seemed as if the bartender never gave them our ticket for food which explained why it never came! He gave me a table number to get the food delivered, but never gave us dining ware. My husband explained the situation to the guy at the kitchen and he agreed that it was awful treatment. When my husband repeated what the bartender said to him he responded "that's ridiculous" because even though he was busy, he could have checked on our order. The bar was almost completely empty when we arrived and he never cared to check on anything for us. And was this done out of spite because he broke a big bill for me? Was he racist? I'm really not sure but all I know was that in my two visits to Seattle, I have never had such poor customer service. I'm grateful that the kitchen member gave us a refund; I ended up using the cash to tip our guide for the tour we were late for. I was excited to try a local spot, a neighborhood gem- but all I got in return was feeling disrespected and unwelcome. People from Seattle, you deserve better. Out-of-towners, there are so many bars and great places to eat around Pioneer Square. I do not recommend The Good Bar. Nothing out of the experience here was good. If anyone reads this review that works there, see the picture attached for a view of the bartender who served us in the background. I took a photo of our empty table for the food that never came.

    Not sure why Kurt looks so sad because this place is great.

    Good Bar is back! I thought this was one of the pandemic casualties . One of the best classic/ modern bar ambiance in the city. Glad to see it return with new ownership but still great drinks with better service. The bartender Sarah is great there and I would return just for her friendly banter and ability to serve, suggest drinks and carry conversations will all the bar patrons. I will for sure stop by any time in Pioneer Square. The Rhubarb mule is a must and the Marion-berry sangria is great as well.

    Good burger (beef and lamb, comes with chips!)

    When you first arrive, it's super cute! And then when you see the menu you may think it's limited but the bartender worked with me to make what I liked because they have a full bar and they're flexible. My friends ordered some food to share and I saw that the burger came with chips. I asked if I could buy just chips and he just brought me a plate no charge! They're really nice and accommodating. They brought us a pitcher of water for the table and took care of us for drinks. Highly recommend!

    Rum tiki drink- forgot the name but I had a couple

    Delicious cocktails! Great bartender and a cool place to hang out. Just walk to the hotel in Pioneer Square.

    I came here for a 20-person meetup with this amazing fashion-forward group of women. The service was incredibly slow, the food left us disappointed and looking for something better. Drinks, tbh, I don't even remember. All a bit of a bummer considering the delightful interior design! Had it not been for our group this place would have been dead. And it was a warm Saturday evening! If you want a place to go that isn't crowded, and you're not particular with your food, then try it out because it is cute. But I wouldn't go back a second time.

    I had been to Good Bar a few times before Covid times and always enjoyed to atmosphere here, but had never tried any food, just drinks. Last night I went there with some friends now that it is reopened and finally tried the food - WOW! The menu is all new, now with a Mediterranean flair. We had Spiced Nuts, Beets, Labneh Mousse, Griddled Halloumi, and the Lamb and Beef Pita, all of which were fantastic! I stuck to beer, of which they have many on tap, but my friends tried some of their very unique cocktails and enjoyed them as well. They also have just enough TV's to be able to watch an important game, but would definitely not consider it a sports bar. Overall, Good Bar has a very comfortable atmosphere, along with great food, drinks, and a friendly staff. If you're in the Pioneer Square area, you should definitely pop in and give them a try!

    See all

These are the best cheese curds ever bc the batter isn't heavy like other cheese curds I've had. It's tempura battered so it's light and you can taste the cheese more. The jalapeño strawberry dip and ranch are good dips, but try them together and it will blow your mind. The fried green beans were okay. They did have a heavier batter on them and I wish they had the same batter the cheese curds had. The spicy dip was good! The rosemary popcorn was delicious! It had just enough butter and the perfect amount of rosemary where it's not overpowering. Once you get to the bottom, there's tons of butter and you just dip and soak it up with the popcorn. Also, PATTI was AMAZING!!!! She checked in on us throughout the evening. She's very sweet and I will be back bc of Patti!

Parking was free and plenty of it on the streets. I visited on Super Bowl Sunday, about 2-3hrs before the game to get seats. This was a good idea because there was only a handful of seats available. We were lucky enough to get a table for 4 of us. The hosts were very welcoming and go us seated at the bar when it was only two of us. When we informed them about an hour prior to kick off that we needed two more seats, they did their best to get us seated. It was very kind of them to even look around, let alone actually find us space. This was very much appreciated. The first hour or so, when there was only two of us, we had a few beers, the cheese curds and the chicken fried steak with potatoes. The beers were exactly what you think they would taste like and they weren't terribly expensive which was nice. The cheese curds were a great shareable item, good flavor and a fair amount of them. The chicken fried steak was good, nothing crazy, but not below average. Portion was good sand it was cooked right to have that nice crips on the outside with the gravy poured over top. I think the only thing I wasn't that big of a fan of was the potatoes, I should've opted for the tots or hash potatoes instead, but I'll have to try it again. Yes, I would recommend this place. Seems like a good place to meet with friends for a game and meet friends. I almost forgot to mention they have an outside area in the back was is covered so there's more than enough space to maneuver and enjoy your time.

I made a reservation ahead of time, but when we got there around 8 pm we realized we probably didn't need one because it was seat yourself and still pretty open. No complaints though, it made it easy to grab a table and settle in. The vibe was cool. Definitely a sports bar feel with TVs around, and as the night went on the DJ started getting set up which I can imagine makes it a fun spot on a Friday night for people meeting up after work or hanging out with friends. We decided to share a few things so we could try a little bit of everything. We ordered the catfish bites, lemon pepper wings, garlic parmesan wings, and macaroni and cheese. I'll start with the positives because the service was great. Everyone we interacted with was friendly and helpful, which always makes a difference. Food-wise, it just didn't totally hit for me. The catfish bites had a really tasty batter, but the texture threw me off a little. I personally like my catfish cooked a little harder, and these were a bit soft for my liking. The lemon pepper wings were a little too salty for me, and the wings themselves weren't cooked quite the way I like them. I tend to like my wings cooked a little harder, so these felt a bit soft and bulky to me (if that makes sense). The garlic parmesan wings were okay flavor-wise, but still similar in texture. The macaroni and cheese was okay. Nothing bad, just pretty standard. The menu itself has a good mix of comfort food and bar favorites like chicken and waffles, shrimp & grits, burger & fries....so there are definitely options to try. Overall, the service were great, the vibe was cool and I can definitely see this being a fun spot once the DJ gets going and the place fills up. The food just didn't quite land for me personally this time. I gave it 3 stars, but if Yelp allowed half stars it would probably be closer to a 3.5 for me. I'd still be open to coming back and trying a few other things on the menu.
