Great staff. Fun atmosphere. Arrive early to secure seating... Make sure to check out watch parties for sporting events!!! read more

Fun atmosphere, friendly and attentive service in the bar, great location and proximity to T-mobile Park. Stopped in here for a bite and bev before the gates opened across the street. We were able to snag 3 seats at the bar and had attentive and efficient service. Tip- apparently only the high seats are considered drop in bar seating. When we inquired with the host, they didn't clarify this, just said there's seats and it wraps around to the back. We walked in and sat at a 4 top but since it wasn't a high bar, we were asked to move. Full bev selection. The prosecco wasn't on the menu but they had a bottle of Chloe ready to pour. The pretzel was good! read more

Horrible customer service. I asked two servers if they can call the servers that was helping me and one of them told the other in Spanish, "Tell her to sit down and wait" When asked to speak to the manager, I waited a while; she said, "Oh, I'll talk to them" Horrible service read more

In town on business one of the rare occasions I could bring my wife. We met one of her coworkers here. My first thing was we wanted to park For 2 hours. The lot at the restaurant said $5 an hour, ok but then the minimum is 12 hours, ouch $60 right off the bat. Then out of any dark beer, really no beer delivered on Monday? Plus they brew their own. The server was not too helpful and seemed shocked my wife wanted a sample. Service was slow our server was more interested in talking to one of the other servers. We got a pizza someone else brought it. We didn't have plates our server was mia there was a lady bussing tables we got Some from her. The food was good. I would never go back there if I had to park in their lot again. THANKS TO THE OWNER FOR REACHING OUT. It was one and done for us. We had two days in town before a conference in Redmond. We weren't looking for anything out of the review. Perhaps training servers that diners pay their check. I usually let some server inadequacy slide, but from start to finish we were in my opinion an inconvenience, that kept her from talking to a male server. read more

Went for lunch mid week. Wasn't very busy and we had good attentive service. Cocktails were well done and balanced. Had a cozy feel in a high backed booth towards the back. Lots of large TVs but not too loud. Had fish and chips and companion had Chicken sandwich. Both decent portions. The batter on the fish was good and light. The fish itself was very mushy so guessing it was overcooked at some point. read more

Great spot to go to before a Mariners game. Service was slow initially but got a little better once we ordered. Didn't eat anything but drink selection was good. Cool spot and ambiance overall. read more

Attended a private event here in their upper level room! There was plenty of space, our own personal bar service, and the food was phenomenal!! Our party had a fantastic time and I would definitely come back! read more

Very disappointing experience. Service was slow, staff seemed indifferent and I won't be returning.

We came here before an event and were really glad we did. The service was fast, especially considering they ended up getting slammed and we had no idea it was going to be that busy. All of our food was good, and our server was super friendly. The only downside was that the nachos were pretty small and not really shareable. Overall, we'd definitely go back! read more

Wow! Visiting for a concert and ballgame, staying at the Silver Cloud across the street. Walked over to this place and 10 minutes later walked out. Not busy at all, sat at the bar where only 2 other people were seated. The bartender said "need a menu?". Her attitude was immediately suspect. In the next 10 minutes, she was doing nothing as the restaurant was very slow, walking back and forth down the bar, never making eye contact or asking us what we would like to drink. We left the bar and asked the hostess to speak with the manager. She left, came back and said she would be right out. Needless to say, she never showed after a full 5 minutes ( again, the place was dead ) and we left. Note to owner, you got a problem on your hands, of course maybe it's you! read more

I don't usually leave negative reviews, but this experience was unacceptable. From the moment we arrived, we felt unwelcome. One of the hostesses completely ignored us while greeting and helping other guests. Things only got better when Zack, the bartender, took care of us. He was the only employee who treated us with kindness, respect, and professionalism. Thank you, Zack, for making at least part of our visit enjoyable. Unfortunately, the rest of the staff made us feel like we didn't belong. To make matters worse, one of the servers implied that my husband was trying to steal a salt shaker. We had spent over $500, not including the tip, and being treated with that level of suspicion was humiliating and offensive. As Latinos, we couldn't help but feel that we were being treated differently because of our ethnicity. No customer should ever leave a restaurant feeling judged or profiled instead of welcomed. We won't be returning, and I sincerely hope management takes these concerns seriously and ensures that every guest is treated with the same respect, regardless of their background. read more

Had an event here and never quite realize how big the place is. Inside absolutely beautiful. And expansive. Gorgeous bar and really kind people. Had dish and chicken and both were really good. Sides were veg, potatoes and they were equally tasty. Cheesecake for dessert and it was super tasty. Highly recommend this place! read more

I was going back and forth between giving this three or four stars... Maybe three and a half would suit better. The food was so so, but what a great spot for Mariners fans or just baseball fans in general. Really enjoyed hanging out here and talking ball with all the locals when I was visiting. Great service though from the staff, even though it was super swamped during ichiro's retirement ceremony weekend. Definitely would come back here and try it again. read more

If you're looking for the best bartender in SoDo, look no further! Even during the busiest rush, Zack provided exceptional service with a genuine smile and positive attitude. Zack stayed attentive, friendly, all while making sure every guest felt taken care of. It's rare to find someone who can handle a packed bar with such professionalism and warmth. His energy and customer service truly stood out and made the experience even better. Thank you for going above and beyond--I'll definitely be back! read more

Zack provided an absolute flawless experience at Hatback today. From the moment we walked in, he made us feel incredibly welcome and comfortable. Five stars without a doubt!" read more

Great game day vibes! Zach at the bar always makes sure I'm taken care of no matter how hectic it can be.

Spent the day in the city and tried out this bar and grille. It's across from the stadium but it wasn't a game day, so it wasn't very busy. Our bar serves were amazing and friendly. We enjoyed watching the US Soccer team win. We order two Rainer beers bc it was a hot day and I ordered the three carnitas tacos. Wasn't very loud bc it wasn't very busy due to it not being a game day. read more

In town for Padres v Mariners and found this place across from T-Mobile ballpark. Fast service (non game day). Great atmosphere, food and quick service. If going to a game I would definitely recommend. read more

Best pregame spot ever! Super friendly staff, kid accomodating, great menu, super tasty and fantastic bar. There are TV screens everywhere and wide open spaces to give it a super comfy vibe. Not to mention it is right across the street from the stadium!! There was no wait, but granted we got there hours before the game... read more

Came here for some pregame drinks and despite the expectations - crowds, slightly higher prices that come with it, it was pretty good. On any day where a game or event is happening at the stadiums there is bound to be a crowd here, double that if it's warm out and the nearby Victory Hall yard/biergarten is open. Because of that I like how if you have a preference of seating (which includes indoor/outdoor, tables, counters) they will take your number and text you when it's ready. So that's what we did, wanting to be outside. In the meantime we sat at the counter, and this was good, bartenders were pretty attentive and had 3, to keep up with the demand of customers. About 20 minutes we were able to move outside. Beers are definitely cheaper here, so it's a given to have couple before game time. My buddy wanted an "Ultimate pretzel" and got one to share. Think of an Auntie Anne's/Wetzel's pretzel but it comes withmétier beer mustard and Beecher's cheese dip which is cool. Again, if you're coming to a game or event here, I'd recommend and I'd come back myself. read more

Hatback Bar & Grille - Drinks! - American Near Me - Seattle, Washington

If you're in the Sodo area stop by. If you're not in the Sodo area, stop by, there's plenty of parking in back. Great place to watch games. Numerous large tv screens all over. I can only speak for the pizza since that's all I've had. It's too good for me to want to try something else. In particular I had the Diavolo pizza. Topped with Crushed Uli's hot sausage, soppressatta, mama Lil's peppers, mozzarella, and basil. Try it! The flavor will have you coming back for more! It has a nice little spicy kick to it as well. The crust on their pizza is so light and crispy. There won't be anything left trust me! read more

Hatback Bar & Grille - Diavolo pizza! Amazing!!!! - American Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Ambiance is good with a game day vibe. We sat at the bar. Received below average service. Both our meals were challenged. I had a crispy chicken sanwich. It was way over cooked and small portion. Worst one I've ever ordered anywhere. Super disappointing but I did not send it back. My partner ordered a salad with veggies, quinoa and added grilled chicken. The chicken was way over cooked and dry. A couple sprinkled carrots and mostly quinoa. Should have sent it back but didn't have much time before the game. If you go stick to the burgers or pizza. we likely will not return read more

Stopped in on 6/26/25 and the place was PACKED. We didn't even have seats at first, but Jeremy helped us immediately on the patio, with a smile. Our food came out quick, hot, and perfect! The salad was fresh, and the burger was AMAZING! Thank you HatBack crew, and especially Jeremy, the server extraordinaire. Seriously, he juggled 100 of us on the patio. Props! read more

Tonys the man, this place rocks and he takes care of us every time. I love this place

Whelp I got a beer and some food and A nice big view of the TV showing the game! Im happy we won and the service was outstanding! read more

Hatback Bar & Grille - Mariners stadium across from HatBack! - American Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Absolutely love Hatback Bar & Grille! I also love that they are partnered with Metier Brewing, as it's one of my favorite local breweries. They have several of their beers on tap and some of the menu items also use the beer in their recipes which is super cool. The actual restaurant has a fun laid back vibe that makes this the perfect spot to pregame nearby events or games. You can also order from Steelheads Alley and sit in that space instead which is also a fun atmosphere. I went with the Hatback Burger which is basically their rendition of a classic cheeseburger. It comes with painted hills beef double patty, Beecher's Cheese, tomato-bacon jam, pickles bibb lettuce, on a kaiser roll. The burger was cooked perfectly and I liked the tomato bacon jam a lot more than I thought I would. The sea salt fries are also really tasty. Definitely one of my favorite spots to stop in before a Mariners game and I'm sure I'll be back once the season kicks off again! read more

Zack H was THE BEST. Great service and very helpful! Let us try a couple of samples before deciding on our beverages.

This place is the spot during game days!! Zack always takes good care of our group!! We will for sure be back!!

Best bar in the stadium district! Fantastic menu (get the Diavolo Pizza and thank me later!). Best part about it...the drinks! Zack is wizard behind the bar and he'll get you right before the game and keep you going after the game!! read more

Great place to go before any sports game since it's so close to the stadiums, Zack the bartender is amazing! Good cocktails and a nice vibe, lots of TVs to watch whatever game you're looking for. read more

For a very busy Next door stadium bar, this place is chill and next level food!! Great on all levels, come early for an Ms game, park, eat and skip stadium pricing. You cannot beat the burgers and fries! 10/10 read more

Fun place for a birthday get together or any occasion to celebrate/have drinks with friends! Hatback is a large space with plenty of seating at the bar, booths and large communal tables. Our birthday group of 10 was able to comfortably move around and share tons of appetizer plates amongst each other. Some of the highlight dishes: - Mac n cheese (Beecher's) - hot wings - Caesar salad with added chicken - hummus plate - nachos The bartender made me a delicious Old Fashion. Friends of mine enjoyed other libations, beers. I would recommend this place if you're looking for a gathering space next to the stadiums before the game. read more

We stopped in for a quick nosh before a concert. We grabbed several appetizers and threw them on the table to share. Service was terrific, food was fast and hot. Nothing extraordinary but well cooked. The restaurant is clean and modern. read more

Zack and Edgar are absolutely amazing! Hatback bar and Grill is a vibe and they make the best cocktails

This is a nice sports bar to watch the local teams. They have a great selection of local beers on tap. I had their Impossible burger, which was very good. Service was friendly and attentive. Vibe is casual and lively. The only problem is the availability and cost of parking during Mariners or Seahawks games, since it is right across the street from both stadiums. read more

This was a great visit. We were seated right away and greeted with drinks quite quickly. My wife and I ordered onion rings and pretzels and dip for our apps and we each got a burger for our entree. The apps came quite quickly and a reasonable time passed before the burgers. By far the best dining food and nicest staff we've had in quite some time. read more

This is a welcoming place to join friends and family before games. I recommend arriving a few hours before your event. They have televisions everywhere so everyone can see their favorite sport. Drinks are from local breweries and wineries from around the region. There is a wide variety of seating options to choose from. The interior design is perfect for the Sodo Mojo experience. read more

I came here for lunch after a work meeting. I would say it was an ok experience overall. The burger was ok. It probably wont make the best burgers in Seattle list but they are probably not going for that. The ambience is good with big TVs and lots of seating. The service was good. I just thought the food and drinks were on the expensive side for what you get. read more
