Such a cool spot! I grew up playing softball for 10 years and know how hard it was to catch games at home. It's so awesome to have a spot dedicated to women's sports. My boyfriend and I came here for a random date night (no "big" games were on) and even though it was a slower night, he and I agreed this was one of the best dinners we have had in a while. I would recommend going here no matter if there are "big" games on or not. It's awesome to see the college networks on and support no matter the occasion. I have celiac disease so eating out at new places can be difficult but our server made sure to make a note for the kitchen staff and was knowledgeable about my allergy. I had "the goat" and I truly think this was the best sandwich I have ever had. 10/10 would come again. read more

EVERYONE WATCHES WOMEN'S SPORTS Once we saw it was a women's sports bar, we were sold. The staff were all super kind humans. The area was clean and welcoming. The menu offered a little something for everyone, and after being in the car for 9 hours, I just wanted a burger. The burger was delicious, and everyone else was pleased with what they got. My friend had nice things to say about the GF bread on her sandwich! Bonus points for them stocking the 7oz High Life! read more

Rough & Tumble Pub - Reignstorm Burger - Pubs Near Me - Seattle, Washington

It was a BUSY and bustling Friday evening at R&T. Food comes out fresh and hot so it does take about 15-20 minutes after ordering. Drinks came out within 5 minutes. They have pool tables that have tap to pay (unsure of how much) and TVs playing sports. I was expecting women's sports, but I guess it's the wrong season. They also have outdoor balcony seating for nicer days ! It was a little on the pricier side in my opinion, but the food and drinks were tasty so my friends and I agreed it is a place we would try again. read more

First visit to this women's sports themed sports bar. Went around 5 on a Monday which is about an hour after they opened. It was deserted and didn't have any waitstaff besides bartender. Ordered off the happy hour menu-chicken tenders and chips and 3 dips. Food was hot and ok. No one came back after food was delivered until I had been done for about 5 minutes. They take your card payment at the table and wait while you fill it out which I personally don't like. Restaurant is spacious and has nice 2nd floor views. read more

We finally had the occasion to visit the Rough & Tumble Pub a few days ago. This pub has been on our list for awhile now as they are dedicated to all things "women's sports". We visited on a Sunday night so there wasn't much of a crowd to speak of but I can imagine how hopping the place gets when amped up with crowds cheering on their favorite sports teams such as the WNBA Storm, the NWSL Seattle Reign, and others. I wouldn't call this pub vegan friendly by any stretch but they do have a few vegan options, which is always greatly appreciated. Their menu is a bit .. chaotic, in my opinion. What do I mean by "chaotic", good question .. I'll provide some examples: - They have a few different menus, depending on time of day (Brunch, Happy Hour, Dinner, etc). This is in no way unusual for a restaurant and it's easy enough to read when on a computer but if you're trying to scroll through those menus on your smart phone .. you might be left with vertigo (yes, I'm being dramatic for effect, but still ... ) - at least one item (the Spiced Edamame) is marked with a "v" but .. what does "v" mean? Vegan? Vegetarian? I couldn't find any type of "key" on their menu unless I overlooked something (always possible). - I'm not gluten free at all but in tiny letters at the bottom of their menu it says "items marked gf may have shared traced of gluten from a shared fryer, we are happy to sub fully gf/celiac safe tortilla chips on any item". I feel like if something is marked "gf" on the menu, a customer should feel confident that it's 100% gf and not have to guess .. especially when it comes to health concerns. If not, it should be made more clear than simply providing very tiny, hard to read text at the bottom of the menu. In all fairness, on a lot of the specific items, they do call this out but it just seems weird to label something gf that isn't 100% gf. - "Baller basket of fries or tots" - these aren't labelled as "v" at all, seems inconsistent to the labelling of the spiced edamame. - Jackie's Baked Buffalo Dip - creamy jackfruit, charred scallions, "mozzarella", Frank's r+t tortilla chips (vegan)". The "r+t" = "rough and tumble", call me dense but it took me a bit to figure that out lol. So, is this vegan? Does putting "mozzarella" in quotes automatically mean it's vegan or is the implication accidental? If it's vegan cheese, why not just say that? lol. I looked at their brunch menu and noticed some of their "scramble" options specifically list "vegan mozzarella cheese" as an option, so that told me they definitely stock vegan cheese. When I asked the server, she did confirm the "mozzarella" listed in this dish was indeed vegan. I didn't think to ask about the "creamy jackfruit" though so now I'm hoping that was vegan as well as that was an item we ordered and ... it was really good! - they have a Pork Belly or Tofu Sliders option on Hawaiian bread. We were thinking that maybe tofu sliders would be vegan. I asked about the Hawaiian bread, which they confirmed wasn't vegan. In all fairness to them, this item isn't listed as vegan but ... it's an item that would very likely draw interest to a vegan, so why not provide a vegan version of the same. They did check on availability of an alternative vegan bread, but were out of baguettes (which was vegan). So, if you go there another time and order this, if they have baguettes available at that time maybe this would be accidentally vegan. - going back to the Brunch section, when looking at the scrambles, and then say "or mixed greens (gf/vegan)". For many of the scrambles listed, practically none of the ingredients are vegan (although again, they do have vegan scramble options) but for a scramble that wouldn't remotely be vegan, why specify that the mixed greens in the scramble are vegan, like .. would that ever be a question if greens are vegan? So, I'm not trying to nitpick or be difficult but I think these are strong inconsistences that could easily be ironed out. I totally understand that given the pub being a sports bar, vegan clientele are probably but the tiniest fraction of their patrons. It felt like they definitely put thought into trying to be inclusive while at the same time, it seems scattered and confusing and could keep some vegans from coming back or visiting at all. The servers were helpful and very attentive to our needs but were also definitely not familiar with our vegan questions. That's not a problem as they took every stride to find out the needed information and ensure we had a good meal. I mention this only because I feel like if they tighten up a few loose ends, this pub could really hold great appeal for vegan clientele. The food was really enjoyable. The Baked Buffalo dip was great, we couldn't get enough :). The Banh Mi was good and I LOVE that they have vegan mayo win-win-win all the way around! I felt the sandwich was pretty basic, it lacked a certain zest or bite until the last few bites at the end where the read more

Now that I've been a few times I feel that it's time to update my review. I love the idea of this place - obviously it's a successful model as women's sports bars are opening nationwide and Rough and Tumble is opening a second location in Seattle. I also like how involved Rough and Tumble has been with the community, hosting special events for big games, fundraisers, etc. The food and drink are what I would call upscale pub fare with a Seattle vibe. More fish, more vegetarian and other special dietary options, etc. It's on the more expensive side, but definitely within a very reasonable range especially given the neighborhood. The staff are nice, but the service process here needs help. The first time I came, I went to to the bar to order and was told to sit down as it's a full service establishment. The next couple times, I did not make the same mistake, but instead waited for 20 minutes before anyone came by with water or anything. None of these times was it busy; maybe 5-10 other individuals seated. The most recent time I went, I sat for 30 minutes before giving up and going elsewhere (this time, in fairness, it was fairly busy). I have found the whole thing very confusing. It would also be nice if they could post online somewhere when the patio is reserved. 2 of the 4 times I've come, it's been closed for clubs/groups that seem to have standing/recurring reservations, causing a bit of awkwardness as staff have to kick people out. read more

A great sports bar, focused on women's sports. With nice high ceilings, good pub food, and lots of women and men who like to watch women's sports, this is a sports bar that feels welcoming, with a huge sense of pride in women's sports. We'll be going back. read more

The atmosphere at Rough & Tumble is unmatched. We visited for the Torrent official watch party during the Olympic women's hockey quarterfinals (USA vs. Italy), and the experience was perfect from start to finish. Even with a packed house, the staff operated like a well-oiled machine. A special shoutout goes to our server, Alexandria, who was incredible. Despite the noise, she made a point to squat down at our table so we could hear her clearly--a thoughtful touch that didn't go unnoticed. The food and beverages were also a solid yes. We ordered the BLATs (bacon, lettuce, avocado, and tomato), which were delicious. We had a fantastic time and are already looking forward to returning. We just found out they host a Makers Night every Monday from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM, and we can't wait to check it out! read more

Spousie and I have been twice this go and both times were equally as great as my memory served. Plenty of vegan/veganable food, great drinks (alcoholic and non) and the service and staff are all wonderful. We were there to watch an NWSL futbol match and had no problem getting a TV switched to the match even though there was a Seattle WNBA (or some sort of basketball, definitely a Seattle team though) game on and the futbol match didn't feature a Seattle team. Or second visit, of this trip, was for the Women's Decathlon World Championship. The R&T did a great job hosting the event. There was a trivia event just before the decathlon and a Sue Bird after party happening after the decathlon. What could have been a hectic situation was quite calm and easy, for us -the customers, I'm sure it was quite hectic for the staff. This place continues to be awesome- the food and drink, the staff, and the atmosphere/ambiance. My spouse and I look forward to returning again soon and often. read more

I was surprised to see this familiar space, formerly home to Sawyer, which I had loved. While it was bittersweet to realize Sawyer had closed, I was excited to check out Rough & Tumble, especially as an all-women's sports bar concept! The space is bright and open with lots of windows and plenty of TVs, so every seat has a good view of the games. However, it feels more like a sterile restaurant than a sports bar, and I wished for more character, memorabilia, and a cozier atmosphere. We ordered buffalo wings, chips and guacamole with salsa, and a salad spring roll. Everything was tasty, though the presentation was simple. Service was friendly and kind. About halfway through our visit, a man approached our table saying he was with a university and asked us to take a "quick" survey about sports fans and their habits. We agreed, but it turned out to be a lengthy 6-8 page survey with several in-depth questions that didn't seem related to the dining experience. It felt a bit uncomfortable, and I chose not to finish it. The biggest downside was honestly the pricing. With two appetizers, one entrée, three beers each, and a cocktail each for the two of us---our bill came to $210 before the tip.... Draft beers were $11, canned beers were even more, and the salad was nearly $30. While the food and service was good and I'd return as an occasional treat, the prices felt very high for the portion sizes and sterile sports-bar setting. read more

Came to meet friends here for lunch. Parking is a little tough depending on the time of day you come/day. Service was okay, nothing to necessarily write home about. Interior is big, lots of tvs and pool tables. Can get pretty loud when fans are in full force. I ordered the burger and fries, burger was bland. Fries in my basket needed salt but the fries we ordered for the table were seasoned well. Tried the buffalo chicken wings and though I'm not a big wing fan, the girl liked them a lot and said, "these are the best wings I've had in Seattle." read more

So glad I ended up here for brunch during the US Open recently. Came here to watch the finals and enjoy some good food. I was excited to finally try their brunch options after hearing how good it was! Although we had trouble getting the right spot in front of a tv showing the game, thanks to the owner and staff for getting us seating in the side room and turning on the screen for us. They were so sweet and went above and beyond to make us comfortable :) I really enjoyed my meal and cocktail. It was a hard choice since everything sounded so good! I ended up with the Shredders ranchera waffle. I loved that the waffle was made from potato. Such a cool idea. It was very filling and the meat was flavorful. Maybe adding a little lime squeeze would be nice to finish it off. Looking forward to a return visit here so I can get something else off the menu! read more

Another hidden gem in the Ballard area. Parking can be an issue. This sports pub specializes is showcasing women's sports. The inside is quite accommodating for large groups and doesn't feel too crowded. The window seating roof can be opened up during the warmer season of Seattle. Venue is very family friendly and open to everyone. The food and signature cocktails are definitely worth the visit even if you are not a sports enthusiast. Enjoyed the buffalo dip that was very mild heat. Entire was the goat cheese with honey chicken and enjoyed local draft beer and signature cocktail second wind was delicious. The staff is very friendly and I would definitely recommend to family and friends. Max the bartender was very social, friendly and made our visit so much fun. read more

Came here tonight and did not realize it was drag bingo/Rupaul Watch Party! It was super busy and lively. The staff were swamped, so it did take a minute to receive food and drinks. Regardless, the staff were all friendly. The food was pretty good bar food. I am not celiac, but I am gluten free. Just as a warning, fryers are not gluten free dedicated.

Great vegan options! Love that this place is a women-owned & operated sports pub. Kids are welcome and the food is delicious. I got the vegan bahn mi and it was very tasty! We also got the baked buffalo dip with jackfruit in it. I liked it, but it was a bit too vinegar-y for me (Frank's hot sauce is one of the ingredients), but my dad loved it. Someone in my party got the small nachos for a meal, and it was sizeable. Someone else got the fish tacos with tots. Everyone had a great time! read more

Finally, a sports bar that gets it and caters to women sports! I came here to watch a women's volleyball semifinal game on a weeknight and found a not too crowded space (I know it can get pretty rowdy when multiple sports are in full swing). The staff were incredibly welcoming and happy to accommodate our request to put the game on the TV closest to our table. Kudos to have a great kitchen. I was honestly expecting your typical bar fare, but I was surprised with plenty of vegetarian options (a rare find in a sports bar) and traditional burger and fries too. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and I wanted to go back bite after bite. It's the kind of place where you don't just come for the game--you stay for the food, too. The atmosphere was buzzing, and it was so refreshing to be surrounded by other fans of women's sports. Great community hub for people who truly value women's athletics. I'll definitely be back if I'm looking to watch a game with like minded sports fans. Highly recommend this gem to anyone who wants good food, friendly service, and a space that celebrates the excitement of women's sports. read more

What a great spot!! Plenty of TVs displaying various sports games. Fair amount of seating. Local beers on tap + great food...what's not to like?! My chicken sandwich albeit a touch messy, was delicious. Could use a little more crunch to it but tasty none the less. Salad was simply dressing and greens...again, I do wish there were some crunch added or other element like carrots, tomatoes, etc. My mom who was with me noted the burger was quite good. Tots were perfectly cooked. Staffing seems to be short during certain days/times? Service was fine, just a touch slow. Environment is definitely louder than most but to be expected of a sports bar. All in all certainly recommend this place! Entry was a little hard to find at first FYI. read more

I live in the neighborhood but hadn't visited till this past Tuesday for a Women in Construction event. Your usual bar fair and a few different options we had a variety of appetizers off the HH and regular menu. I tried the Finch's French Onion Dip, Bloody Mary Pistachios, Mambo nachos and Jackies Baked Buffalo Dip. We had the tots and Billie Jean Wings but I didn't have a chance to try them from what my friends said the tots were nice and crispy. There is a nice variety of alcoholic and non alcoholic cocktails along with beer, ciders and wine. Had been to the space when it was previous business it's still nice and roomy and has a few pool tables. Love that it's a sports bar for women. Service was friendly, I didn't stay but some of the group stayed for the trivia night. read more

Good coffee, friendly service, great quality food - but the service was quite slow for Sunday brunch, and the side of sausage we ordered was comically small for $5. I'm talking one 2.5" diameter patty. For $5. Would recommend skipping add-ons and sticking with sharing a larger entree (the ranchera waffle was heavenly enough on its own). Hope to come back to try some of the other items. Note that most of the GF stuff is savory. Would be cool if we could request the sweeter stuff (ex. pancakes, french toast) to be GF as well. Oh, well, beggars can't be choosers! read more

I've been following Rough and Tumble from the get go on the socials. I'm so glad I finally made the trip over the water to experience the joy that is R&T in person! Our party had a carafe of pomegranate mimosas, a Bloody Mary, biscuits and gravy, and chicken and waffles. Perfect brunch food and fuel for the day ahead. The food was tasty. Note that the gravy was on the peppery side, which was good for our tastes, but it is helpful to know in advance. Good food, great cocktails, and the best environment. We are so fortunate to have R&T in the our city. Championing women's sports with tasty treats and a safe spot to enjoy them all. read more

Rough and Tumble pub might be my new favorite sports bar. I love the concept - a woman-owned sports bar that highlights and promotes women's sports. YES! They also show male sports games too (Hawks, Kracken, M's...) but their bar will equally promote women's sports. Love that! The food is delicious, and the Title IX Banh Mi is not to be missed. So flavorful and satisfying! Rough and Tumble is a family friendly bar, so kids can come watch sports games too! Plus, many of their menu items have options for meat or plant-based diets, so everyone can find something good. read more

How I heard of this place: A friend wanted to do happy hour in "the area" and recommended this place for great fried food and 13 screens, mostly depicting women's sports. Type of cuisine: A bar that specializes in greasy foods, perhaps just on the happy hour menu, and other pub fare - burgers, fries, etc. - along with plenty of alcoholic beverages and a handful of mocktails/non-alcoholic options. Ambiance: Large and spacious, including an overhanging, covered and enclosed balcony space, the room boasts hardwood floors, tall ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows along two full walls. The setting sun streams it's light through the windows facing the waterfront. The space is loud with conversation and inebriated customers, enjoying the views, the company and the food. Staff are friendly, anticipating requests and quick to reply to additional orders for the kitchen as well as bringing down the shades to soften the sun's luminessence. What I ordered: For starters, I chose Equality ($7-$9), a mocktail of soda, lemonade, blueberry mint syrup. For my friend, the Juneshine Hard Kombucha ($6) followed by Timber City OG Ginger Beer ($9). Our happy hour selections: Finch's French Onion Dip & Chips ($7) - r&t chive kettle chips (made in house), and a Baller Basket O' Tots ($6). What I loved: The Equality mocktail was refreshing, not too sweet and the perfect balance of lemonade to mint to purple-ly blueberry color. The tots were golden with a fry big enough to crunch into. An obvious fishy flavor surrounded them, likely from the frying oil, but they were crispy and tasty! The chips were golden and seemed large and crunchy, but were quite soft and chewy. The dipping sauce heavenly. The French Onion dipping sauce was easily the table favorite. Why I loved it: Easy vibe and fried food goodness to pass excellent conversation. Cost: Low to average read more

I can't comment on the food, but my cocktails were great. We were there for an event with 50 to 100 other people. The waitress was so organized and kept tabs separate tabs going for every person at our table with no errors. The Laniberry Smash was excellent with fresh muddled, strawberries, and basil. The watermelon Snap was OK but not nearly as good my friends enjoyed their drinks, fries, and tots. Unique spot with primarily women's sports on all the TVs. We sat out on the balcony, and there were no TVs out there with our crowd of 50 to 100. The noise level was quite loud even outdoors. I think the volume level varies with the number of people , so you are likely to find quiet times too. read more

Came here on opening weekend so I expect they are working out the kinks still. I was sad to see they only had a limited menu. Part of why we came here is they had some kid friendly food on the full menu. Service was good. Server was fairly attentive. We ordered the broccolini and the vegetable was good but the bread that came with it was burnt and had a very off taste. I'm not sure if this is a cold or warm dish since it came out luke warm. I had the burger which would most likely be really good if served hot same with the fries. My kid ended up with the quesadilla. Which ended up being a tortilla folded over some partially melted cheese. Nothing amazing about it. I expect that most of the temp issues where due to a very slow/new kitchen and things will get better with time. Over all fun atmosphere(though $7 for the photo booth is insane). read more

First visit here of what will surely be more. Went on a Sunday evening & it wasn't overly busy, comfortable vibe, quiet enough to hold a conversation. We shared yummy Jalapeño Bites (not overly spicy), I had fish n chips which were good. My friend ordered the Black Bean Burger, she ate 1/2 then stabbed at the other half w her fork & declined a To Go Box when offered! Enjoyed house red wine + spicy margarita.

Arrived just after 6 on a Friday night and had no problem grabbing a table. The atmosphere is sporty and comfortable, and my husband and I enjoyed watching all the games on TV while reading the trivia cards from our table. We've ordered out from here before and enjoyed the smokey gouda mac and cheese and broccolini. The food dining in was just as delicious. The fish tacos were by far the best, encompassing everything you'd want in a fish taco - perfectly seasoned fish, mango pico, slaw, chipotle aioli, verde salsa with homemade tortillas. My husband's chicken sandwich paled in comparison and the fries weren't as crisp as we expected. We were redeemed by dessert with the delightfully oaty and chocolately skillet cookie. The big downside was the staffing. For ~25 tables there were only two waitresses the entire time we were here. It made it difficult to get drink refills and pay the bill. If you're looking for a speedy place to grab food, you might look elsewhere. read more
