The Brick Saloon in Roslyn is truly a foundational restaurant in town, especially at a time when many others are struggling. We stopped in during a very busy Christmas season and were still seated quickly, with attentive service almost immediately. The ambiance has a great rustic buzz, highlighted by the wood-fired stove and its impressive piping system that greets you as you walk in. The food didn't disappoint, perfect smaller portions for a late lunch before dinner. The fish & chips hit the spot, as well as the pulled pork sandwich that we all shared. The beer selection was spot on with plenty of solid choices. A classic Roslyn staple that continues to deliver. read more

Love the vibe and history of the restaurant. The service was spot on. Multiple people came by to make sure we had drinks and that we didn't need anything. The brisket quesadillas threw me for a loop when they came to the table because they looked like tacos. My server answered my question before I could even ask. Even though they are served upright, since the cheese is melted, they are considered a quesadilla. I don't care what shape they come in, they were incredibly delicious. Don't sleep on the waffle fries. They are double fried and super crispy. read more

We stopped here on our way from Leavenworth after the flooding and power outages. We ordered the fish and chips with mozzarella sticks the food was great and had some nice conversation with the bartenders. It was cozy and warm in there with lots of seating. Would love to stop by here again the next time we come back from Leavenworth since we live all the way in Tenino. read more

One of the spots we were most excited to check out during our trip to Roslyn was The Brick Saloon--a local treasure that's been around since 1886. It's full of historic charm and the staff couldn't have been nicer. There were seven of us for lunch, and even with a group that size, we only had a brief five-minute wait. The day was warm, but we lucked out with seating downstairs next to a fan--definitely a welcome escape from the heat. We ordered three appetizers to share since the two little ones weren't all that hungry: crispy onion rings, gooey mozzarella sticks, and tangy fried pickles hit the spot. For mains, I went with the fish tacos, my daughter had shrimp tacos, and my other daughter ordered the shrimp basket. The older grandkids chose wings and a BBQ pulled pork sandwich. We all kept it simple with water to drink. The food? Absolutely delicious--every single one of us was happy, and not a single complaint in sight. If you find yourself in the area, The Brick Saloon is definitely worth a visit. I forgot to snap pictures of everyone's plates, though I did manage a few. Price-wise, it was more than fair: under $150 for all of us, including a 20% gratuity automatically added for our large party. read more

Awesome burgers! I can't believe some folks haven't visited Rosalyn. If you haven't then you need to come visit the Brick Saloon, the oldest saloon in Washington and some of the best burgers too. We ordered a bunch of food and everything was top-notch, plus a good selection of beer large selection of whiskey and the service was great. Plus the bar was extremely old and ornate . I believe it's from Europe. Anyhow, Definitely a place to grab a burger after a hike or take family and friends to visit. read more

Our server added 20% automatic gratuity on our bill and didn't tell us. We also tipped 20% on top of that. And got charged a $6 credit card fee. She also wouldn't split our bill 3 ways, which seems a little lazy after getting an $80 tip.. very disappointing. read more

To be honest, this place was quite a let down. We stopped in based on the stellar reviews on both food and service. I am sad to say that neither met our expectations. The (seating) wait: Upon arrival there was a line to the door with no one there to speak with. There were signs that said please wait to be seated. Everyone was just standing there unsure of when/how we'd be seated. Eventually someone walking out suggested we just seat ourselves. We walked around and selected a table and asked a nearby server to seat us there. Not sure how the groups before us fared. The (food) wait: Our server mentioned there would be a (~35min) wait for our orders and suggested getting an appetizer first that would come much sooner. We agreed and ordered an appetizer. The app took over 40 mins, and the food took another 25 mins. Overall the wait was more than hour and significantly more than what was said. The food: Everyone's meal was cold and subpar. It tasted as if it was made an hour ago. There were also quite a few mistakes of changes that never made it to the kitchen. The servers did do their best to correct this for us, but was still a let down after waiting an hour for cold, incorrect orders. The place: the restaurant itself was a cool and lively vibe and it seems they have live music on the weekends which is cool. No complaints there. Overall, would recommend trying out another place unless the live music is a deal breaker. We probably won't be coming back. read more

Good food and beer at the oldest and historic tavern in the state!! It's the bar in the tv series Northern Exposure.

The Brick is an absolute must when in town. Everything about it - the ambience, the food, the music - yes please to all of it! Whether you stop in during the day for lunch or at night for some beers and live music - you can't go wrong. The service is fast, the bartenders and staff are friendly, and everything is reasonably priced. The food is exactly what you'd hope for in a tavern and it's always a good time. I've tried almost everything and am always satisfied. There's also something about the location and the building itself - you feel like you've stepped back in time. It's pretty awesome. If you haven't been to the Brick you should add it to your list - you won't want to miss it. read more

The Brick Saloon - Grilled Avocado Cheese Sandwich - Bars Near Me - Roslyn, Washington

It was around opening time (aka lunchtime) St Patricks Day and we decided to swing in. Let's see how the old place looks after not having been there in ages. Happy to report it looks very much the same! Old/nostalgic, awesome old bar - whoa check the green river! But it was the FISH TACOS and green beer that we will be extolling. Just the best! A real treat! Friendly staff too. Was one of the very best parts of our little weekend getaway! read more

The good? Cool place. The not so good? Well, pretty hefty prices. Nothing particularly special about the food. Server gave our group a hard time about separate bills. Said it was their policy. Brought it up several times warning us that they are just too busy and don't ask next time. No reason to take a hard stance like that. Even though she ultimately did give our table 5 bills, they still added the gratuity. Not a problem but she would have probably done better tip wise had she not been unfriendly. Just my opinion. In fact, may have been something going on because none of the employees seemed very friendly. Was a week day and definitely not busy. read more

Good beer and burgers kind of place in Roslyn. Food and beer were ok. Service though was very slow. We sat in the downstairs area which had no windows; the street level area would have been nicer. But it is an interesting bar with a long history. read more

Their menu is a lie. Shows vegetarian and vegan options. But everything at this place is made using tallow oil (beef). We clearly said that we are vegetarians and vegans while ordering. They served us "vegetarian" and "vegan" burgers. When asked about the oil used (since one of us has nut allergy), she said they recently switched from oil to tallow oil. read more

I had dinner break at Roslyn at The Brick Saloon and it exceeded my expectations. The atmosphere was lit and service here is fantastic. We were confused about which drinks to try so the waiter gave us some sample draft beer. To my wow "Mac and Jack Africa Amber Ale" was really a discovery. The food here is above average but not what I would call amazing. I ordered a Cicely Chicken Sandwich with an onion ring as a side. Both were very average. My friend had Black Bean Burger with waffle fries. The burger was very good, but the fries were oily. But given such a small town, this place really shines. read more

Went there with 3 other friends. We ordered 3 glasses of beer and the waitress insisted that we get a pitcher instead. We said no and she brought the drinks to the table, it was still a pitcher. Next, when it's time for bills, a 20% tips was slapped into the bill automatically. We did not examine the bill and gave a 15% tips. I only found out when I returned home to look through bill. It was ONLY a table for 4 and they pre-tipped the bill. On the whole, I felt like I was soaked. Will not go there again when I visit Roslyn in the future. Conclusion: 1. Bad service 2. Heavy-handed when dealing the pre-tipping the bill (consistent with other reviewers below) read more

Pretty disappointing. The people behind the counter seriously acted like they just wanted to be somewhere else and doing something else other than serving customers. We were actually looking for The Brick t-shirts and they only sizes they had were small and medium and they were hung rather inconspicuously on a rack by the door. They could make a ton of money on wearable gear if it was displayed prominently and if they had a decent selection. read more

This place was so great. Came here for a bachelorette party so a big group, they accommodated us so quickly and we were on a time crunch. Scotty was our server and he was seriously AMAZING! So sweet and friendly. It's a nice pub with amazing food, we got a variety of apps to share and the food came out quick, hot, and delicious! Highly recommend! read more

The Brick is the quintessential saloon in the PNW. Steep stairs lead to the entrance, where you're greeted with the backdrop of a huge wooden bar and a bustling of activity, no matter the day or the time. Look closely and you'll even see the spitoon under the bar with running water from one end to the other. These days, no one is spitting in the water but if you're not careful you could drop your keys or phone in there! The food is consistently good. It's a saloon so expect a lot of deep-fried goodness. Their onion rings and fries are awesome. The Reuben and burgers are also top-notch. They also have an above average selection of good beers from the area, and cocktails and wine as well. One side is 21+ and includes pool tables and a shuffleboard table, while the other side is all ages during the day, then changes to an active stage at night. read more

The Brick Saloon - Spittoon race tradition - Bars Near Me - Roslyn, Washington

This place was more like a 4.5 rating. If you are a Northern Exposure fan, this place is a must go to place. You walk in and the historic bar is beautiful. I wish the barstools were still there but unfortunately those were removed. We sat down at a bench table and was given menus right away by the bartender who happened to be our server. He was awesome, friendly and attentive. My husband tried an IPA from Leavenworth called Bootjack I believe and liked it enough to have another, lol. We still had 4 hours of driving so we decided to split our entrees as to not have leftovers. My husband and mother split the fried cod and chips. My daughter and I are more on a keto diet and decided to split the southwest salad minus a couple of things. Our food took about 20 minutes to arrive. While waiting my daughter and husband played some pool. Food arrived and it was real good. The salad was a nice portion and perfect for splitting. We were bright an extra plate when our salad was delivered. We were satisfied and didn't leave hungry. My mom wasn't that hungry but my husband said the cod was pretty good as well. The history of this building and realizing we were eating at the famous Brick Saloon from Northern Exposure alone was the highlight. read more

We came in for dinner around 7pm. The place was pretty full and it appeared that only one server was working. We should have known then to leave but didn't want to drive into Cle Elum. Our service was pretty terrible. We barely saw our server and had to ask to get refills. She was not real kind and seemed annoyed at times. It took almost an hour to get our food after ordering. Once the food came, it was decent but nothing to write home about. The prices were on the high end. Also, there was no air conditioning so it was SWELTERING hot in the place. They had fans going but that did little but move hot air around. If ever in the area again, I think we would pass on this place. read more

Good service, love the old saloon feel, food is fantastic! Saturday night live music is 80's Pop and Rock.

This place rocks and the protein portions are spot on. You won't leave hungry trust me. Fun family restaurant with bar options. The server was not only friendly he was personable and offered sight seeing options before we left. read more

Food was average. Nothing to revisit or try again. Service was average as well. Especially since the server made all the money on random fees.... Which included hidden fees that were added to the bill. We had 3 kids under 10 and they charged us 6+ at an automatic 20% gratuity and a 3% charge to use a credit card. Because they are considered a "small" business. Which is BS - they are a hopping bar and restaurant. This a place for a cheap drink and music. Not for a quick, tasty family meal. read more

Came here with a group of friends after golfing. I ordered the fire burger with onions rings. It was solid and I did enjoy the onion rings more than fries (my friends got fries). Our server was extremely friendly and the food and drinks came out quick. Overall, a solid burger spot. Would recommend to a friend. read more

Awesome place to be at if you're in town of Roslyn! This place won't disappoint you! Looks pretty vintage from the outside but when you enter. This place is actually big and pretty modern stylish! Basically seat yourself when you enter, the service will greet you soon with their happy faces! They have a pretty good selection of food on their menu. Simple American food. I got their Brick Burger and their White Claw Trash Can drink. Turn out, they didn't disappoint me at all. Large portion and the drink are heavy pour! Will I be back here?! FOSHO! Not to mention, if you think this place isn't for you because of the mask policy, then don't go or stay home!!! Plenty of other restaurant in town but this spot is the shit! Highly recommended! read more

I took our AuPair from France to the oldest tavern in Washington hoping to have fun and watch some college football. They wouldn't change the channel from an infomercial claiming they hire someone to preprogram their televisions and are unable to change the channel. (What?!). Hostess was nice but otherwise bad on all levels. I had to stand up and ask for my tab after stacking our empty plates in the center of the table. Take a pic from the outside and find a Denny's. You'll get better service. read more

We have been going here for years and last night was the last time. Food was not great overall. Two Rueben sandwiches both were chewy. Fish and chips were in the fryer way too long. Service was just ok and my wife got the wrong meal. Drinks from the bar ordered when food was delivered was finally brought to the table after the bill had already been paid. Also, I was charged for a few drinks that were never even ordered by our table. Whoever enjoyed the Wet Kitty and The Fennel Countdown that I paid for, you're welcome. I wish I had realized before I paid for dinner but there were 9 of us and the receipt was very long with all the line items of up charges for everything it seemed. Fries instead of chips, $1 more, want to split a meal $2.50 charge added for that extra plate service as well as every other +$.50 they could come up with. Wow, just wow. Thanks for a lot of great years, but this was my last. read more

Big regrets coming here, huge. Yes, it's old and it's famous, but that's probably its only redeeming quality. We popped in here for dinner (in the family section) after seeing lines of people here the day before and numerous yelp reviews where people raved about their burgers. My questions to these people: Did we eat the same thing? Have you had a good burger and fries? I've literally had better burgers at McDonald's or Red Robin. The 'beef' patty on the brick burger was questionable at best and seriously thin. It also arrived so cold that the cheese had started to congeal, with a couple slices of raw jalapeños tossed in there as an afterthought. We upgraded to onion rings, which were greasy and very heavy on the batter. Since it was Taco Tuesday, we also ordered a few of the beef and shrimp tacos, which were equally terrible. The $1 beef tacos had a weird smell. I managed to choke down one bite and couldn't do any more. The shrimp tacos were piddly, with about 3 small shrimp and tons of lettuce. We were also nickel and dimed for extras. We ordered a side of guac and sour cream, but they delivered 1 guac and two picos, which we were charged for. Wtf? Oh, and don't forget the flies! Nothing puts more of a damper on terrible food than a million flies buzzing around your face while trying to eat. Majority of staff were also not wearing masks. TL;DR - The food is atrocious here. Save your money and run! read more

We were disappointed. The meat in the Ruben sandwich was tough and both the fish and fries were greasy with an old grease taste. The fish was also overcooked and soggy on one plate and had very small fry ends. On the bright side the waitress credited the small fish dish and was very nice. The other staff seemed enthusiastic. The atmosphere was as advertized. read more

Omg one of the most delish meals I've had in a long time! Brisket sandwich was amazing, wings to die for, burgers delish and the beer batter on the cod.... Order it now! Food doesn't have to be fancy, just has to be delish and that's exactly what our whole meal was! Don't forget the pickles too! Yum!!! The cornmeal on them.. top notch! Service was friendly and on point. Thanks for a perfect vacation meal for our family. Ironically we went to the resort that night and it was overpriced and awful. Go have fun n hit the brick! read more

Ordered fish and chips, there were 4 small fish stick looking fish, maybe 3 ounces total and the beer batter was tasteless, they did not hand dip the fish, it came right out of a frozen box. We stop about 4 times a year and the food seems to be going downhill. read more

The food was delicious and the large portions made the price well set since it ended up being two meals and a snack. I got the brisket sandwich with rosemary fries, both were fresh and well seasoned. The waitress was very kind and helpful. The drink she recommended (key lime pie) was perfect for me. The bar itself was very clean and well maintained even with the rustic motif. They also have pool and shuffle board, neither of which you have to pay for. I would highly recommend, and even more so if you're a fan of Northern Exposure! read more

It's a historic building that offered good bar food. We ordered the Fire Burger sub meat for plant based patty. The burger hit the spot, I got the shebang of flavors in my mouth with each bite! The rosemary shoestring fries were on point! I'd go back for those alone! We added a side of onion rings, because who doesn't love a good onion ring. These definitely did not disappoint. They were crunchy and the entire onion didn't pull out on the first bite. My only disappointment was the cocktails. Too sweet and unable to recognize the liquor and not chilled, no one likes drinking a warm cocktail, especially on a 95' day. Now I am probably a cocktail snob as I have my own personal mixologist in my home who makes all his simple syrups from scratch and uses only fresh squeezed citrus but with seeing how easy it is to produce an amazing cocktail... read more

Why is the staff so unwelcoming? I've been 3X, and each time we were treated like we were an annoyance. There is some weird vibe between the staff as well- we were ignored at a table upstairs and when we finally asked, the server said, "I don't know, I'm not working in this section " I don't know if they are unsupported by their management - and therefore just work in a frustrating environment- but I don't need to spend my time or money here anymore. Shame because it's a cool space and great location. read more

Fun historical spot in the town of Roslyn. Easily accommodated our large group and the service was spot on. Parking can be a little tricky is this area if it's busy but there's plenty in of street parking in the neighborhood. The food and drinks overall were tasty. Local brews on tap Bloody Mary on point Menu with plenty of options to please most diet types. I do with they severed breakfast though! The onion rings hit the spot, perfectly battered and fresh. My Reuben sandwich was enough for two people! So tasty, and the side salad was plentiful. Overall our group left very satisfied and would be back! read more
