Don't waste your time here, give business to places that treat their employees and customers with more respect.

It's at the corner of one of the buildings. Dark, mid sized interior with some cool neon lights and light up marble pattern bar counter. Not very busy when I went at happy hour/dinner time on a Friday night, but the place is busier later at night on Friday/Saturday during the warmer months. Sometimes they have events and DJs. Sat at the bar and tried out some happy hour specials. Got the Korean sauce wings ($12) and cheese truffle fries ($8). Decent amount of fries, definitely has cheese flavor but not that much truffle oil aroma. I liked the wings which you get 6 per order. They weren't fried, but rather tender and juicy. Sauce was agreeable. Definitely enough food for my dinner. As for the drinks, I got the rosemary mule which is Moscow mule with some rosemary herb. The copper mug they use is good sized. Tasted refreshing although could feel the alcohol afterwards. Also tried a corpse reviver no. 2, which was a little sweet but has a punch. Cocktail prices are not cheap outside of happy hour, in the upper teens. Overall, was glad I tried the place out. Will drop by for happy hour once in a while.

I came in to celebrate my friends engagement and of course I had to have my drink the Aqua Ardens Vol. 16, ugh its so so good I cannot recommend it enough. I also had the What We Found in the Jungle... and... YES! For food I had the Steak Frites and I'm so sorry to say that it just wasn't good, for the price point and just how well they do everything else, I expected better, the cut just didn't do it for me and they use different fries for this and it wasn't nearly as good as their happy hour fries, add to the fact that the sauce was miniscule. Guys if you can't slather your Frites then we have a problem. I will say though there was so many new items on there that I would love to try, so one dish is not going to stop me from coming and again our servers were awesome. Oh and just a reminder their happy hour is Tue to Thur and all day Sunday so make it count!

We made a reservation on Resy (which is really great if you have American Express because they have a special dining compensation program through Resy). Brittany was our server, and fantastic. We started with the martini espresso and a cappuccino heavy on the foam. My friend ordered the tender pulled beef short ribs with pan roasted potatoes that came topped with perfectly fried eggs. I ordered the shrimp and grits with eggs over easy. The grits were so creamy and wonderfully hot, temperature hot not spicy, and the shrimp came flavored in a sauce that is hard to describe but very easy to eat. Conversation was possible because it wasn't too loud and the seating was fantastic, not tight or packed together, and there was in fact a really wonderful covered patio space outside complete with attractive center table and decor of lights. For her birthday there was a lemon ricotta cheesecake that was perfectly doused in cherry sauce with optional Graham powder crust circling the moist and light cheesecake. Came with a sparkler which made for the perfect occasion to take a birthday photo. And even complementary many pours of champagne to toast. I don't know if there's a better place to dine in Bothell. Make a reservation and then expect to be impressed by both the food and the service. We were. Thanks Brittany for making the occasion such a memorable one.

Our waitress came over to take our order and when we got our drinks, we were checked once again and was notified our food was coming shortly. Food arrived fresh, hot, and delicious! All in all, giving The Cottage another chance after I've been coming here for years before the takeout experience has reminded me the quality of customer service and food stayed the same pre-Covid and post-Covid.

We've been here a few times and always enjoyed their food, drinks, and service. Their cocktails are amazing and pairs well with the chill atmosphere. Seating is spacious and is perfect for group gatherings. Cocktails are undeniably their forte. Their menu features 13 cocktails, however their bar has a decent collection and can certainly create more than what is listed on the menu. My favorites are The Original Zombie, Painkiller, and Jungle Bird. The Original Zombie has a limit of 2 per customer and for a very good reason. They also have a kiddie cocktail menu featuring 4 drinks. And yes, they're non-alcoholic. Their food is also noteworthy. I tried their Tokyo Tots, Nui Nui Banh Mi, Big Wave Brussels Sprouts, and Saigon Kick Chicken Tenders. The Banh Mi was decent and was served with a side of mac salad. The chicken tender was spicy and was topped with pickled carrots and daikon radish. The brussel sprouts were crispy and flavorful. Our server was very attentive and always checked in on our table. Overall, a great neighbor spot. They do have a happy hour menu and is worth checking out.

This small building can be easily missed if you don't take the time to step inside and see what it's all about. It's got a fireplace and a couple tables inside, but my partner always stops off here for the whiskey. Personally I don't drink much whiskey, but he gets excited by the selection and the helpful people behind the counter. They can help you find something in your price range. You can also get a flight. They have special Whiskey Talk nights and tasting events. You can get also get other drinks and even order food to eat inside. I usually get the Black Rabbit Red wine, but there are a couple beers on tap. Of course this is also a stop for a passport stamp. If it's cold and not too loud we do occasionally sit inside. It has a quaint, cramped vibe so you may get to know your neighbors. If the weather is good we often sit outside by one of the many fires. Sometimes there is live music playing in the courtyard and this makes for a great way to spend an evening. But if you don't know you can also get your drinks to go and walk around exploring the grounds, just be aware you are not supposed to cross the street with your drinks to the pool/Nui Nui bar.

Michelle and the Sammamish River Trail, and there is a lot to like here. Food & Drink: The food is very good across the board. The chicken sandwich is a standout, and they have some of the better wings in the area if you like a dry rub. The fish and chips have a solid crunch despite being light/airy, and both the beef and lamb burgers are well executed. The homemade black bean burger is an underrated vegan option. The Green Goddess salad is also pretty good, and gluten-free buns are available. They rotate in seasonal items as well, so there is usually something different on the menu. The bar leans more toward cocktails and whiskey than beer. The whiskey selection is great. Other spirits are less diverse, but there is enough to make most cocktails. They are solid at making the classics--I've had the Martini, Paper Plane, Gimlet, and Manhattan here, and all have been very good. The seasonal cocktail menu is also usually well done, with options built around a variety of spirits. This isn't a top-grade cocktail program, but it is pretty solid and fits the vibe of the place well. One of their quirks is the alcoholic milkshake. I haven't had one, but have heard good things. The beer menu is probably a little weak in terms of options for somewhere with "Tavern" in the name. They still have some local brews on tap, but beer clearly isn't the focus here. Ambiance & Service: Hollywood Tavern has a great location in Woodinville, near Chateau Ste. Michelle and the Sammamish River Trail. There is a decently sized parking lot that usually doesn't overflow. The outdoor seating area is solid, complete with Adirondack chairs and a fire pit. Inside looks and feels like a tavern. There is some great wall art showing the building from when it was a gas station and Woodinville was still "out in the sticks." The interior is basically divided into two halves, with the bar on one side. There is a nice rustic wood-top bar with seating for maybe ten, plus additional high-top seating along the windows. There is also an indoor/outdoor-feeling section along the road. There is usually a good buzz in the room. It isn't a quiet or intimate spot, but it also isn't really a "socialize with the locals" type of tavern. It works particularly well for a casual date night or a guys' or girls' night out. Country music (Bluegrass/Americana) is usually what's playing (fairly quietly). It also works surprisingly well for families. Between the noise level and lack of formal dining, it is a good option for a "fancy" family dinner where everyone can still relax. The kids menu is fairly standard, but portions are solid and the value is good. Kids get crayons and coloring menus, and parents can actually enjoy the food and drinks without feeling like they brought their kids somewhere they shouldn't have. Service is above average. The staff is friendly and attentive without being overbearing, and the service fits the casual atmosphere well. Final Thoughts: Five stars. Think upscale tavern with more of a focus on cocktails than beer, but with country music and a rustic finish. Hollywood Tavern combines very good food, solid cocktails, a great whiskey selection, above-average service, and one of the better casual atmospheres in Woodinville. It works equally well for a casual date night, a night out with friends, or a nicer family dinner. Von's or The Shed, will get the press/publicity in the area, but for me, this place is an underrated gem. -AC
