They cleared out a space for me at the bar and were very welcoming. Parking was easy however it is pay to park on the street in front. Spicy chicken sandwich was amazing. So amazing that I took half of it home to my wife who ate it 4 hours later and still said it was amazing. I was not here during a sports event, but this is very much a sports bar with multiple TV's and a rotating digital scoreboard above the TV's at the bar. Cool spot. I recommend it.

Stopped in Tumwater on our way to Seattle and decided to get a to-go order at The Brick. Tried to…read moreplace an order online, but you can't after 8pm and it was 8:03pm. I ended up calling (twice - nobody answered the first time) and got an order over the phone. I headed down there and the first thing I noticed is that the building needs work. There is a tin roof siding kind of thing along the entire front of the restaurant. It is old. Paint coming off. Not a good sign. Went into the bar as I didn't realize there was a separate bar and restaurant. I didn't see any signs showing that. I was directed by a bartender to go to the other side to get my order. A very nice blonde girl was there and went to bagging my order getting my chowder and everything else which took 5 to 6 minutes. It was over $64 with the tip. Got back to my hotel room to try my french dip. Problem is, they forgot the dip - no au jus. It is just warm roast beef in a bun. No flavor. Nothing to it. I couldn't even finish a half of it. The tater tots were bad. Half were soggy. No seasoning. No flavor. Not worth eating. The pickle was good, but wrapped in a napkin kind of thing that made my hands messy trying to unwrap it to eat it. Next up was the clam chowder. It was yellow, so I assumed it was a corn chowder. It is neither. It smells like a ham chowder and tastes like a vegetable/potato soup. It is very watery and had big pieces of celery and other veggies. I have no idea what this is supposed to be, but it is not a clam chowder. Finally, I got chipotle wings. They appear to have been a dry rub. I had hoped they either would come with a chipotle sauce to dip them in or they would be sauced wings. They were neither. Being a dry rub, they had a hint of chipotle flavor, but basically tasted like bare wings. My wife got a pasta bread thing of some kind. She had 4 bites and that was it. $64 for about 10 total bites of food. I hate to waste that money and throw away so much food, but I'd be doing homeless people a disservice by giving it away. To recap, building is old looking. Forgot an important part of one of the dishes. Soggy, unseasoned tots. Watery, "clam" chowder that that is really a potato/veggie soup, wings with almost no flavor - may as well have just asked for bare, unseasoned wings. Wasted $64.

I placed my order over the phone and it was packaged to go within the hour (many thanks to the manager for assisting.) The restaurant is large and allows seating for a variety of party sizes. My customers were dancing as they ate, there was a brownie in the order that was the highlight as the team shared it, and I really enjoyed my salad. I will definitely return and highly recommend!

They kept the waters coming, which is such a small thing but makes a big difference when you're enjoying a meal. The atmosphere here is warm, comfortable, and welcoming. The decor is beautiful and inviting, and you can tell a lot of thought went into creating a place where people want to sit and stay awhile. Even the restrooms were spotless, which says a lot about the care put into the whole experience. Everyone in our group had a great meal and a great time.

We are sure glad that we discovered The Westside Tavern. The restaurant is a standard bar. You can order food at the bar, or you can sit down and a server will take your order. Service was a little slow, but it was not slow enough to impact my review. I got the Big Easy burger with tater tots. I had never seen a burger served with a sandwich bun, but it worked out great. The burger is large, so a bigger bun made it more manageable to eat. The burger itself was delicious. I liked the tater tots, but they paled in comparison to the fries (my partner got fries with their burger). We would definitely go here again.

My buddy brought me in, the…read moreatmosphere was cool, pretty much what you'd expect from a brewhouse/restaurant, and the beer I had was good. Our server was fine overall. He wasn't particularly friendly when we first got there, and it did feel like the bill came pretty quick once we finished eating, but nothing that ruined the experience. Where I was disappointed was the portion size. I ordered the grilled chicken club, and for $15 for the sandwich alone, I was expecting a little more. That thing was tiny. I swear it was gone in about 3.5 bites. Then it's another $3 to add fries, which were good, but now I'm paying $18 for a sandwich and fries when the chicken breast itself looked like maybe 3-4 oz. A couple hours later I placed an online order for a burger for my wife since she was at an event nearby and was hungry. Same thing there. The burger tasted good, but the portion was pretty small for what we paid. That's really my biggest takeaway. The food was there taste-wise, the portions just weren't. I don't mind paying restaurant prices for good food, but at those prices I'd at least like to leave feeling like I actually ate something. I'm not saying I wouldn't be back, but maybe just for the beer and some fries.

The glass doors were absolutely COVERED in greasy handprints. Not a smudge here or there, entire adult handprints like an adult kindergarten class had been hand painting in grease. The women's bathroom was trashed and had NO toilet paper for HOURS even after pointing it out. Our server was painfully slow, but nice so that's something. I tipped her 20% because manners mean everything. The whole experience felt like nobody was actually in charge. Dirty doors and floors, TP less bathrooms, disappearing service, gross food, (the lettuce in my salad was warm) the whole place is just grody to the max. I won't be back, but my husband will, because, football.
