Visited this spot on an even trip. A friend who lives in Magnolia recommended this spot for dinner. Food was great, place was PACKED & loud due to the game- but fun ambiance! read more

Fantastic food. So much fun. Great games and tv. Karaoke. The best all around. Going to the pub is an absolute no brainer - it's always going to be a good time! read more

The service here has been really good over the last year. As for the food, I feel like they have a solid menu up until this past week. Pre Menu change, which the February 2025 reviewer doesnt even know about, they had decently priced burgers, sandwiches that compete with the other restaurants in the village, and nice options for salads. Plus a kids menu. This place is always crawling with families - which is great since Magnolia is a family-oriented neighborhood. Its walkable, kid-friendly, and tight knit. You come in here and are likely to run into someone you know, especially on the weekends. Sometimes there's live music, which I am a big fan of! We need more live musicians in the area at decent bars. As for the new menu changes, I am pretty disappointed. I am aware of the Tipping and Minimum wage changes in the city, but even with the newly designed menu, using 'fresh and homemade' ingredients, I think this place now sits in the overpriced category. I am not sure if management aims to target a set of the population craving more spice and heat in their foods, or if they prefer a slight asian/latin fusion to their offerings, but even then the prices do not match the vibe of the overall ambiance. Like the lady before me, this is not a specialty stop on my list and not many folks will be wandering in on a regular basis from other nearby neighborhoods unless they are hanging with the locals who do frequent this spot. This is a "close to home pit stop" for many who live here, and want to catch up with friends, feed their kids on a weeknight, and enjoy drinks and decent food. It's not a date night spot, nor is it a trendy must try locale. I love potstickers, but I am sick of them costing an arm and a leg, when they are simple to make even if done from scratch and in bulk. It's nice to see some fresher options on the menu, but from trying the *new* meatballs, while tasty, they were not a home run and were not worth the price I paid. They were sitting in homemade refried beans but the meat itself was dry. It was also noted that there is no wine on the HH list, which is a huge miss for the gluten free community who don't feel like going for liquor or seltzers. What we did notice hasn't changed, was that the same lighting, tables, decor were all there and it does not match the menu vibe. It would be different if that were the case. This was very much a slow revamp that was introduced to the community and then laid out for us to all experience in an overnight quick reno, but I personally do not welcome it and am curious to see how the rest of the community responds given the tight competition in the area. People are sick of paying way over market value just for living here. We are the same customers that come to you for goods and services, and the same ones who will walk away if not content. This feels like a money grab, and we already have a couple of those around, which many have also stopped returning to. Going into high season, let's all watch and see how this plays out. read more

Love this neighborhood gem! Called in advance to arrange a table for three including my 103 year old mom who has a walker. Manager put us at the top of the queue and gave us a great table on a very crowded and busy night!! read more

Their new menu is GREAT! The owner, or manager, bought our office lunch one afternoon, and ever since then, I've been craving their veggie Rueben with fries. Ugh! Delicious! I appreciate that they offer half sandwich options when you're trying to not go overboard Great service from staff, as well! read more

Seems one of the waitstaff either is always late arriving, or called in last-minute, but WHY are they always short staffed front AND back of house?? For that matter, why not open earlier. It's a pain. This business is out of touch. The owner not really interested in running an incredible local eatery .. just going the usual. Overpriced food and drinks. No outstanding spirit offerings: no Blantons, no variety of 12 year+ Scotch. For the area, missing out on tremendous opportunity. People here have the lettuce, the cheese, the Dinero to fork out for quality. But real quality is not here. It's just minimal. And often less than from the kitchen. Love the Irish pub at the bottom of Dravus. read more

I live in the neighborhood and this is often the meeting spots for friends and neighbors. The new-ish owner is very friendly and I appreciate the effort he has put into making improvements. The staff are always friendly and very patient will all the kids running around, especially after sports games. The reason I only give 3 stars is the food. It had a bump in quality with new management, but has recently gone downhill. There used to be an excellent homemade veggie burger but now there are barely any veggie options. Even the plain nachos have beans braised in bacon. Need better options and better quality. read more

I came here first for their drag bingo night (now living in magnolia again for more than a couple years again) I surprisingly had never been in n here before then. I hope they are planning on keeping the drag bingo nights because it's SO fun and the whole entire bar gets so so packed! After I realized the food and drinks here are actually really great I have actually come back just to get dinner and some drinks The staff is really nice and the bar is pretty well kept. I will be recommending this place for food if you're in the magnolia area. The neighborhood doesn't have too many food options but this is one of them that is really good and definitely worth trying out read more

I loved this vintage neighborhood pub in the heart of Magnolia. Very walkable location and classic pub food was top notch. Service was crisp and bar was sharp. Great IPA selection. Plenty of TV's for news and sports. read more

The new prices???? Are beyond acceptable. $20.50 for ONE BURGER (after tax...) is INSANE. I went to red mill and got two burgers with a side of onion rings for 23. Also, why the heck would you change the happy hour to have $16 potstickers instead of the usual burger/fish and chips?? you guys are really not all that special and you're letting the fact that you're in magnolia get to your head with your prices. Disgusting. read more

One of the worst bars/restaurants I've been to in Seattle. The food is low-quality and over-priced. The staff is extremely unfriendly and the pub is empty every weekend. The indoor atmosphere is good, but cannot be redeemed by the low quality of the experience going inside. I'd give this place a 0 star if it were possible. read more

I stopped in with a friend last week just to grab a beer and get caught up. I haven't been here for awhile but enjoyed my last visit. She suggested somewhere else but I insisted. We sat inside looking out on McGraw and there were 4 people at the bar (with drinks) and two single drinkers nearby. We were wondering if we needed to go to the bar to order and a close by patron said "nah - he'll come over". Well after 10 minutes of sitting with no acknowledgment (yes, the bartender and another person saw us), we decided to go across the street. We had great service there - it was very friendly and we felt appreciated. We were happy to give them our hard earned money. I guess MVP has all the business they can handle so don't need mine. Really disappointing experience (or lack of). read more

I love to stop here. Nachos with chicken & extra queso please. Kids friendly, neighborhood pub.

Went during the NCAA men's tournament and it was pretty clear they were not prepared for the level of business that was coming in and only had a few people running the place for a full bar. Going to give them the benefit of the doubt, that's why it's 3 stars and not less. The experience was 1 star at best. Food took over an hour to arrive. When it did we asked for BBQ sauce since the burger was dry and then had to ask and wait 30+ mins to get that side. Then we were charged for it. A side of sweet potato fries took 45 mins. Tots an hour. Drinks did arrive faster and were fine. I really wanted to like this place more since it's in my neighborhood, but dang it's hard to want to go back when we had this level of experience. And to be honest, it wasn't just us. Some people didn't even get a hello / greeting for at least 20 mins. I've worked in service and know it's a difficult and thankless job, but charging for a side of BBQ after needing multiple reminders and waiting for a long time is pretty wild. At times servers or bartenders passing us actively avoided looking at our table. We will be back, every place deserves more than one visit. But this time as pretty poor. read more

We came here for a comedy show and got a bite to eat first. I had the meatballs, which were tasty, but served drizzled with balsamic vinegar and not much marinara, not to my taste. Our server kindly brought me a side of sauce, and then it was delicious. Needed a veg, so ordered a side of cole slaw, which was good. My husband had a Caesar with cod, which was deep-fried and delicious! Decent red wine by the glass. And the comedy was fun! read more

Good for you Village Pub for being so busy with the local families of Magnolia. My THIRTY ONE year old daughter and I stopped in yesterday afternoon having spent an amazing day at Discovery Park. It was bustling and busy. We waited at the bar for 10 minutes before all the various employees walking by noticed. Being in the hospitality business, it is always a good idea to ACKNOWLEDGE a customer who's sitting and waiting. Just a 'be right with you' helps. Once the bar tender finally approached, and my daughter handed him her I.D. (which was pealing on one corner) he announced: 'REAL' WASHINGTON STATE I.D'S DO NOT PEAL!!!!! I WILL NOT ACCEPT THIS!! Here's a news flash rude guy. That WAS A 'REAL' Washington State I.D. and it did indeed peal. Perhaps having some notion that not everyone is seeking to violate the Washington State liquor law, would prevent you from being so RUDE. Needless to say, returning to your pub while employees treat customers with such smug distain, is of zero interest. Yell at your other patrons, we'd rather go elsewhere which is exactly what we did. read more

As a WSU alumni, MVP used to be the best spot to watch Cougar football games. They have ample TVs and a variety of seating options so you'll never be craning your neck to find a TV. Lots of drink options, specials, and your typical sports-bar menu. I went for the first time post pandemic shut down to watch a WSU football game and was shocked at how empty the place was. Pre-pandemic it used to be absolutely packed on game days! The vibe has definitely shifted. While they still play the game on almost every TV (THANK YOU!) they no longer play the Cougar fight song on the overhead speakers after touchdowns and it isn't listed on any Alumni comms or websites like it used to be. According to another patron this changed with the new owner. I hope the new management realizes the opportunity and reconnects with the WSU community. Rated a 4 based on previous experiences and that my experience wasn't "bad" but was a bit of a bummer given what it used to be. Really hope the new management brings the fun back! read more

Super friendly staff no matter how busy they are we always get hellos and smiles. pretty good bar food and TVs all around to watch your favorite sports games. Sometimes getting a basket of tots, watching the game, and having a beverage is the way to go here. Good neighborhood vibe with good variety on the menu. read more

I order two burgers with bacon, and two order of fries, total came to 47.00 dollars with tax "To go", No beer or wine. Wow... I don't mind paying lot, if the quality was out standing, but the burger tasted like frozen patties from Costco. I know costs have increased for everyone, but if your Business wants to have returning customers you'll have to bring up the quality or lower cost... read more

The food is a lot better but the audio is so awful... During games the commercials ARE SO LOUD. read more

After being closed during the pandemic they opened with a new bar manager. New staff, menu, cooks. Really nice! Two months ago, hired a kitchen manager and it's been a mess ever since! Fired their very nice, customer friendly and hard working bar manager a bit ago....competence must not be important to owners. Hours have changed. Kitchen closed now during business hours! This place is the worst! read more

Food is delicious, and good sized portions, I've been there three times in the last month and all visits have been outstanding. I went Halloween night, there was a Elvis impersonator band with a costume contest. I've been there for Trivia Night and Karaoke, both draw nice crowds. For you sports fans, they have plenty of TV's. The bar is beautiful and well stocked. All three times a nice crowd, not too many and still places to sit. So the fact that they draw not only regulars (I would be there if I still lived on Magnolia a fair amount of the time), the only possible downside is the prices for well drinks and some food seem a little high, but then many restaurants are doing this now that we are back from Covid. But still worth a vist, have a little liquid libation and enjoy the atmoshpere, and ambiance and the service is very good too read more

I really liked the chill vibe. It was a great place to have a beer and watch a little baseball. The service was great and the food was good, especially the fries. We will be back! read more

Good service. Food was okay, decent for bar food. Was surprised it wasn't as much of a cougars bar as it used to be.

My husband and I came here and really enjoyed the vibe. Lots of screens, good lighting and it was pretty hoppin' for a Tuesday night. I ordered the nachos and they were so delicious. They had a gourmet flair to them with blended beans and cotija cheese, with the perfect blend of ingredients with fresh chips. Oh my gosh, they are so good! We will definitely be back! read more

I wish I could say it was better then decent. Slightly better than average pub food. Not that many TV's decent beer selection. Had the Kale Caesar salad and my friend had a burger. Service was good, but in Seattle a burger and a salad is gonna run you some $$. No alcohol & we were north of $45. read more

My WSU Cougar girlfriend and I have been coming here since we first started dating in 2012. We landed here when we were shopping for a Coug bar for watching the WSU games. We're in our 8th season and I can't think of any other place we'd rather be. LOCATION: The pub is located in what undoubtedly is the oldest retail section in the Magnolia neighborhood. This is a great neighborhood as it is peaceful, not much going on. There are a couple of other drinking places on this block, but really the MVP is the place to go. During the summer there is a farmer's market right in front of the venue. BUILDING: MVP is located in a wood frame building that was construction in 1927. The coffeeshop next door is also in this building, but the only thing they share is a wall. The McGraw side has been modified to have garage door style windows that allow for ample ventilation during those nice days we see in the PNW. INSIDE: The venue is long. There are two main dining areas with the main one along the north with the huge windows. The south dining area is next to the kitchen and doesn't receive as much light; it also has a pool table in this section. There is a row of seating at the bar and another that runs parallel to the bar. The bar is the main feature of the place as it represents a football field with the hash lines. The bar also features helmets from each of the Pac-12 teams. COUG BAR: The ownership currently isn't WSU alumni. The former owners of this bar were Cougs and the current owners continued to support this tradition. They have been giving us full support including the following: - all Coug games take precedence over other sports, including playing the audio over their PA - they play the WSU fight song on the PA after each touchdown - they allow us to put up our flags during the game - they allow me to play my drum for crowd engagement TAP LIST: The venue follows more of a sports pub theme, but MVP always has a solid selection of craft brews to go along with it. This with a full bar suffices for what we need on game days. FOOD: The food is somewhere between typical pub and gastropub. So far, everything has been solid. I usually get their burgers, wings, or steak salad. Their steak salad is my favorite item on their menu. We have been noticing that each year we come back, a few revisions are made to the menu. We actually look forward to seeing these revisions each September. FAMILY FRIENDLY: We see kids in here all the time. The age range is very wide here. It's rare to see knuckleheads come in here causing problems. For the most part, this place is drama free. PARKING: Free street parking. The spaces along the retail shops are time restricted. The spaces in the residential side are not. Be sure to look for the signs and avoid that ticket. read more

Awesome, chill spot with great energy and ambiance! Went there for dinner and drinks! Great food, the Burrata Bruschetta and Buffalo Po' Boy were particularly good. However, what made the night was our Bartender (He's a bearded guy with lots of tattoos, I think his name was Tim or Tom, great guy!), he was very friendly, attentive, funny and gave us great service! All in all we had a fantastic experience, I rarely give reviews but we had such an amazing time I really wanted to shout this place out. We will definitely be back! read more

Great neighborhood pub. Friendly service good hours and lots of TVs for sports. Good beer list for drafts.

Friendly staff and owner introduced himself. Ordered the fish and chips, fresh and delicious, will be back to try additional menu items. I hear the crispy Brussels sprouts are exceptional. Magnolia Village Pub is just the kind of welcoming neighborhood family pub that we need in Magnolia, give it a try! read more

Update!! New ownership is bringing back the best parts of Magnolia Village Pub! The menu is better, the atmosphere is becoming family friendly again and it's back to being a good place to hang out. Service is still spotty but everyone is having a hard time hiring people these days. But even with that go and Enjoy! Cheers!! read more

Absolutely LOVE the Village Pub ... or just, the Pub! Ever since our first trip to Seattle and exploration to Magnolia, the Pub has been one of our favorite places to go! It's just what it sounds like - a neighborhood pub that offers a variety of good grub and tasty drinks. Everyone there is down to earth and they don't try to be anything that they're not. Although they have a pretty deep menu with some good things to try, my wife and I have stuck with some of the same things the many times we've been there. The burgers are great, so you can't go wrong with that. The Pub Burger is a good stand-by, if you're in the mood for something simple and traditional (cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, burger sauce) and the BBQ Cheddar is great for those wanting a little kick (bacon, cheddar, slaw, shoestring onions, and BBQ sauce). The last time I was there I got the Washington burger and it was out of this world (bacon, cheddar, shoestring onions, and apple butter)! The chicken dishes are really tasty too. My wife usually get the chicken burger -- which is their version of a chicken breast sandwich. I've also gotten the chicken tenders many, many times and have yet to be disappointed. Great fries and a wonderful beer selection round out the meal. We've always gotten polite and prompt service when we've gone there. They also do carryout, which we've done a lot too; and they're always spot-on with the time they give and keep it warm for you. The Magnolia Village Pub is a place not to be missed. Plenty of TVs around the joint too if you're going there for a game! Sit back and relax, dig in to some great food, and enjoy! read more

What happened to this place? Way over priced mediocre food at best and a sad presentation. Ordered a $16 phillycheese and got a soft roll hoagie with slices of fatty sandwich meat in some weird gravy and swiss cheese(?) - no fries with a $16 sandwich. Place was empty, the music was death metal too - kinda strange for a family pub -the word must be getting around - not recommended. read more
