This is my new favorite spot next to the stadium. The happy hour was awesome with amazing prices and the service was superior. I went with my coworkers and we ordered a mix of garlic fries, pretzel, wings and sourdough Smash burger. Everything was delicious and expertly prepared. It's great to see a place that has happy hour specials that's reminiscent of the early days. They don't offer happy hour on the weekends, but it is a place you definitely want to try for good food and good service. That Smash burger lives rent-free in my mind and I'm looking forward to when I can get another one. read more

A great space for guests - we had a party of 12-15 and they were able to break down the check anyway we wanted. Our server was so fun and attentive and kind, I wish I remembered his name!!! Drinks list is extensive and the fries were so good! read more

Out to lunch with the work crew and our picked spot was closed. Luckily we were stopped by a handsome hunk of fur and his owners who recommended The Hall. The Hall is right across the street from the north end of Lumen field. Walked in and seated our group of 7 in a beer hall setting, long tables and benches. We were greeted by our friendly server and got our drinks and menus to us. Menu is chalked full of options to include the monthly rotational menu. I chose the fish sandwich which was crispy and flavorful. Most of the coworkers chose the OG burger and chose Seattle dog. Everyone loved their meals & said they would come back. read more

Kansas City Royals fans The Hall is the best place to hang out if you are in the area for a game. The bartender Yonni " Yo"is the best,. Find Yo at the bar and he will take care of you! We were lucky enough to experience The Pretzel! I will admit it was by far the best pretzel I have had in a long long time! The cougar gold cheese dip was superior to the basic "canned cheese " you normally get with a pretzel . The side of pickle is a nice touch. Any time you are in Seattle for a game don't miss The Hall and Yonni! Love the Mariners but go Royals! read more

The Hall on Occidental - The Pretzel is absolutely to die for! By far the best according to this Kansas City Royals fan! - Sports Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Met up with colleagues here for lunch and the place was busy. Parking was nonexistent but you can do paid garage parking across the street. The vibe was good and I liked that they have $10/$13 lunch options. I tried the peanut butter bacon burger and it was very good, the smashed burger was juicy and done right. The portion was small for the burger size but yummy. It's a good place to grab a bite before or after the game. read more

Recently came to The Hall on Occidental to meet up with a colleague for lunch. Their menu intrigued me when I was hunting for a space for us to meet, so we came here! Parking is a little rough, especially if you have parking anxiety like me. I ended up parking at a lot right across the street which I had to pay $20 for, not realizing the Seattle Boat Show was going on. Ooops. This spot is classic sports bar vibes. Definitely reminiscent of many other elevated sports bars in Seattle. Service was great while we were here from both waiters that we had. They had a good selection of local beers and I went with one that I was familiar with. They have a special Lunar New Year menu right now and all I have to say is Crab Rangoon Mozzarella Sticks. YEAH. You read that right. It's also on their regular menu, so you can try them beyond LNY, but still! We also got the LNY wings along with the East Meets West smash burger with pork belly. Everything was STELLAR. The burger was loaded up with cilantro and as a cilantro loving girlie this was a treat. Wings had great flavor. The Crab Rangoon Mozzarella Sticks were EVERYTHING I had hoped they would be. 100000/10, would absolutely eat again. They were also huge! There is 6 in one order and it's a good thing we were sharing food, because there's no way I could finish all 6 myself. Overall this spot is solid and I would definitely return for those mozzarella sticks or to watch a game! read more

I met a colleague here for lunch last week and we had a great time! We ordered off of their special Lunar New Year menu, including their creative and delish crab rangoon mozzarella sticks, the East meets West smash burger (helloooo pork belly), and the dry-rubbed lunar wings. Did we order too much food? Heck yeah. Did we wash it down with some tasty beers? Ohhhh yes. Was it delicious and amazing? For sure! Oh, and the service was over-the-top great. Very attentive and friendly. Prices were pretty high here. I guess that's unavoidable in this high-rent area right across from the major football and baseball stadiums. And parking was very "Seattle". read more

For now, this is a review of their lunch offerings on a non-sporting-entertainment-event day only. I work nearby and am always looking for affordable, fast, and good tasting food for lunch. For American food that fits this description, there used to be Burbs Burgers/Trophy Pizza around here but unfortunately they closed down. Uwajimaya food hall has good options for not for burgers and sandwiches (other than Los Constenos, of course but that's not your typical sandwich). Now, we have The Hall! And their lunch specials are ridiculously great value. They offer $10 and $13 lunch specials and you can choose either Tater tots or French Fries for the side (included in the price. Today, I was extremely hungry so I ordered the half Reuben and OG Smash lunch specials. And of course, I chose tots and fries each. Portions were big for the price and they came with au jus, fry sauce, and ketchup. They weren't the best sandwich or the burger I have had tried or anything but everything I ate was tasty and fresh. Especially for the price, it is hard to find a better deal and quality around here. Our server was extra nice and attentive. All the servers were wearing a T-shirt with Bruce Lee on it - pretty cool! I also really like the space. I cannot even remember what was here before. They did an amazing job with the renovation. It looks like a very clean trendy sports bar. I think I saw about ...6-7 large TVs and there is an outdoor seating (covered) that could probably seat 10 smaller groups. I can totally see myself come eat here often. My team all enjoyed our lunch today. Highly recommended for their lunch specials! 5 stars for value, service, and cleaniness. I will update my review later for how the restaurant does during major sporting events. read more

We went here after a Sounder's game and were very pleased. We made a reservation which was a good idea. There was line to get in with strict security. It is loud. We were lucky to have spot upstairs which was a little quieter. Service was quick and friendly. They have a really good beer list and awesome large mugs which I think might be a pint. I had a hefeweizen from Germany that was very good. For appetizers we had the giant pretzel and fried cheese curds. The pretzel is REALLY big, good for a group. It was really good though--soft throughout with a nice buttery flavor. It comes with a good mustard sauce. Then I was really surprised by the fried cheese curds, these were decadent, but very tasty. For the main course, I had the bratwurst which came with fries. It was a good sausage, kind of what was expected. The fries were very good. Then people in my party liked their smashburger with cheese. Overall, great restaurant for before or after games. read more

Overall, it is a cool spot for the vibes! Among others in attendance we were here the night of an event at Lumen Field. It was busy, with a line out the door (as expected) and the bouncer wasn't clear on seating. So, unless you want a table it's pretty much a free for all once inside. Luckily, our event was on a weekday and we were there just in time for Happy Hour. The menu for happy hour is a steal with brews from $6-10 and burgers for just $8. We weren't aware of how to order food if we didn't have a table so thankfully the bartender cleared things up! The smash burger on happy hour was really good, it comes prepared with pickles and onions and I just subbed for lettuce and tomato and loved it. The fries were the only thing we weren't fond of because they tasted very fishy so, tots are recommended! The crowd this night was insane and people were sneaking in the back defeating the purpose of the line out front so that was sort of frustrating. Be prepared for a 5-10 minute wait once inside, at the bar, for your order to be taken. It was a good spot for a quick bite and a brew. For a nice dinner I probably wouldn't recommend. read more

Not sure if I just got lucky but I feel like that's not the case since I had such a good experience the first time I came back 2 days later! This place is super close to my work and they have great lunch specials. I have had both the OG smash burger and the breakfast smash burger. The breakfast one is better but both are super tasty. Their lunch specials are $10-13 and come with a side of fries. I think it's a fantastic deal for the amount of food you get. I'll definitely be back! read more

We visited during one of their first weekends. We went before a soccer game. Before the game was not a great experience. While everyone was friendly, they were slow to seat us. Once we found out we could just order a drink and have it on the patio, we went to the bar to get a drink. I wish this was more obvious or offered as an option because we just wanted a quick drink before heading in. The bartenders also seemed understaffed. They were working hard but there weren't enough of them. We came back after the game and had a much better experience. Same friendly service but much more timely. They have good food and lots of drink options. I'll definitely give them another chance. I think they were getting their bearings the first few weeks. It's a great location, so close to the stadium/ballpark. So I hope they're successful. read more

So glad to have stumbled upon this gastropub. Last minute, decided to catch a Marniers game before my flight at the Seattle-Tacoma airport. The ballpark is only about 15-20 min away, so it worked out perfectly. Found a lot where you could pay $25 (plus taxes) to park for the day. There was street parking, but limited to 2 hours and lots closer to the field were $40. Walked around the block and found The Hall. Menu looked great and the happy hour specials were steals! The giant pretzel was only $8 and had that perfect chew, similar to Auntie Anne's but a bit less sweet. I went with the steak salad. Very flavorful, but also quite pricey. Wish I could have had it with chicken for a lower cost. My kids loved the basics - hot dog, burger, fingers. And dang, that seasoning on the fries was dynamite. Perfectly salty! I had actually stated that I wouldn't eat fries for at least a few months before getting to this restaurant (I overate fries on vaca), while this lasted 2 hours. Once I laid eyes on their fries, there was no turning back. Would highly recommend this spot to anyone going to a game (baseball/football) or concert in the area. There's seating outside too, just only drink service. Oh and plenty of bathroom stalls, all of which were very clean. read more

You hard up for some food and drinks before a game or a concert? The only thing this place has is a cool atmosphere. It's packed, and has a cool concept, but does not hit the standard. We came hungry before a concert. We just wanted something. My wife and I both went with the smash burgers. She had the regular and I had the peanut butter bacon. Before I get to those, let's talk about the drinks. Now I probably should have just stuck with a beer since the beer list was pretty good. But if a jalapeño margarita is accessible, I'm going to order it. Never again here. They did not have regular jalapeños, so they used pickled jalapeño's, which for some reason they were closer to yellow than green. Disgusting. Our friend ordered a spicy margarita. Which was a margarita with a couple dashes of hot sauce. Clearly having a full bar is not necessary, just beer and maybe just liquor that you can shoot since that seems to be the extent of their qualifications. I will say the tall bartender was at least nice, the other one that was working with him was not. Anyway back to the food. Smash burger oh was alright, the peanut butter bacon was not. The beef I'm guessing is not suppose to have any seasoning, which is fine, but the peanut butter bacon portion not existent. The was a squirt of the habanero jam, or just jam. Long story short the food and mixed drinks leave a lot to be desired. Beer list I would come back for....and I would give the food another shot. It was before a sold out show. The shorter bartender I would avoid next time. read more

Food is great, price is great, service is great, and selection is great. This is a very cool place to come before any game at Lumen or T-Mobile, but there is a catch - getting a place to sit. There will be a line outside, which can either go pretty quick or move as slow as mollasses. However, what can be immensely frustrating, is even on game days - you put your name in, your party is waiting, the line is moving... slowly, but moving... only to get closer and find out that people could do reservations to skip the line and get seated before you without having to wait. It seems like on game days - there just should not be any reservations allowed for the few hours before the games. It makes that waiting outside, all the more painful, and your time inside feel all the more rushed. Even after you get seated, they will be busy, and they will get to you, but it will take some time. So, just be mindful about going here before a game if you don't have over an hour before the time you want to head in. Foodwise - get the smashburger, the pretzel, or the cheese curds. All the smashburgers are very reasonably priced. The pretzel is gigantic and paired with just enough cougar gold dipping sauce which is delicious The cheese curds are more of a tempura batter - making them a little lighter than some other options in town that are fully breaded and fried. Dip it in the hot honey, you will be happy you did! Glad to see this new spot open up near the stadiums. We have been here a few times now before games - it seems to be running more and more smoothly each visit. But please, just choose reservation system - or walk in - not both. PS - if you are in okay just getting 1 drink and dont need to sit, you can try and just walk up to the bar and grab a drink there. but no food. There is a third option of a fast bar to get some food without a table, but it seems to usually have a long line, as well as causes a traffic jam in the narrow hallway. read more

Got it. Here's a polished version with no em dashes and clean punctuation: Amazing Experience at The Hall on Occidental I had an amazing experience at The Hall on Occidental in Seattle. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, and it was the perfect spot to hang out, eat, and enjoy drinks. What really made the night stand out was our server, Lucas. He was friendly, attentive, and genuinely great at his job. He knew the menu well, gave solid recommendations, and made sure everything ran smoothly the entire time. His positive energy and professionalism made us feel taken care of from start to finish. The food and drinks were excellent, the vibe was on point, and Lucas's service took the whole experience to another level. If you're in Pioneer Square, this place is absolutely worth checking out. Ask for Lucas if you can. Highly recommend. read more

A good stop on game day. Clean, well sized, and well staffed establishment. We like their other location so we were happy to try this one. I enjoyed the Steak Frites. read more

I sat at the bar and I ordered a smash burger (it was the one with the basics-American cheese, lettuce, tomato, onions). What I got was bits and pieces of hamburger on a fancy hot dog bun. I paid over $20 for this whatever you want to call it- definitely NOT a smash burger. The service was good so I tipped appropriately, but I won't be back. I wish I had taken a photo because the meat was literally just little pieces of ground beef, not a patty like you would expect When I asked the bartender what was going on with the bun, he actually told me yes, it's a hot dog bun. The fries were decent but could've been cooked a little longer. read more

This place has good food. I enjoyed the pretzel and all the cheese that came with it. There was a lot of cheese on the charcuterie pretzel. The bench seating gives a hofbrauhaus vibe and it's just across from the stadiums so convenient for a drink before a game. What got me on this place was the bathroom set up. They are all unisex with a communal hand wash station. No urinal for the guys so they have to touch a public toilet to lift the seat. It makes me gag just thinking about it. Hygiene doesn't seem like much of a priority and as a women I don't want to be touching up my appearance next to some random dude. It seems like they were going for a modern restroom set up but it just falls short. Not a place I will be going back to and really not sure how the bathroom set up even passed the design phase. read more

The Hall on Occidental - Sports Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Had the smash burger and French fries were good. Good place to go before a Mariners game.

It took me a few days to post this. I was extremely upset after leaving this place. My initial review in August was good, I put 4 stars. And now the difference between night and day. I'm going to be fair, as usual, which is why I didn't post an updated review right away. After going to this place in the early afternoon and enjoying it very much, my son decided to book a table for 8 for a bday celebration. The booking was for Sept. the 13th at 5:15. We were so excited to go back again. That's where my excitement ended. Granted it's game day for soccer and baseball. Both of the stadiums had games going on at the same time. Putting this in perspective, The Hall is right across the street from Lumen Field (soccer) and down the street a few blocks is T Mobile stadium (baseball). There were alot of people in the area. We head to The Hall and arrive on time. There was a line on one side of the doorway, we decided to go up to the front where the counter is to be seated since we had a reservation. We waited and waited and finally a woman came by and barked at us (and I'm not using this expression lightly) that she us to clear out of the way. My son let her know that we had a reservation. She said she needed to go find out what was going on. She did not at this time, check the computer where reservations are in place. I want to point this out, right here and right now, this was the most unfriendliest, rudest woman in place. She's angry, simply angry. And if this is who you have as a hostess greeting people, whoever is in charge here, take note, you are wrong for having her in this job. She comes back about 10 minutes later, checks the computer, my son corrected her on the name spelling and off she goes again. Here's the first problem, there was no table set up. We waited 20 minutes for a table. So off we go to a table. This was a table in a corner and there weren't even enough chairs for all of us and we were packed in this area. We wait and wait and 15 to 20 minutes later a waitress arrives. We order drinks and wait another 10 or more minutes and everyone but myself get their drinks. It was a tea. Just an iced tea. Another 10 before I get that. In our group, we had a toddler with us. She was getting restless because of the time situation and having to wait so long. I went up to the bar to get a cup of ice for her and I'm pretty sure that I am invisible at this point because no one would acknowledge me. Now I'm thinking this because there were other people who got to order something. I waited another 10 minutes to get a cup of ice. No one every offered to ask me what I needed. No one. Finally we are able to order food. Here's the run down on this. 2 people ordered a burger, a hotdog for our toddler, a salmon sandwich for me, a bunch of wings, mac and cheese, a veggie sandwich and a chicken wrap. Most of our party really liked the food. My salmon sandwich was so incredibly small. This cost 24 dollars for this. Picture a small hamburger bun and a piece of salmon with onions, arugula and lemon aioli. For 24 dollars, definitely not a good choice. Here's my key points for this place: If you are located near a stadium or stadiums, you better be prepared to handle an extreme amount of clientele because that's what happens during game days. Clearly there wasn't enough help in place because we did not experience any great example of getting any help. Not with getting seated and not with getting service. Have people in place who at least act like they like their job and know what the job means. I cannot get over how really awful this woman was. This was a really disappointing experience. Truly. My first experience was really good, this one wasn't. Will I go back? Maybe but not anytime in the near future. Again, we had a reservation for 5:15 and didn't get out of there until 6:35. It was wait, wait and wait some more. By far this has been the most extensive review I have done. Not a great time at all. read more

Newish, really good pregame option. Solid HH prices. Maybe getting nostalgic about pregame spots during the '94 World Cup, but this just hits the spot with .5L and 1L lagers, Pils, Marzen, etc. Will absolutely be back! read more

this place is fabulous! Fast service, delicious food, perfectly poured cocktails. And the space can't be beat, love the couches upstairs and that you have a choice of the smaller bar that's more in the middle of everything or the larger bar on the south end that's a bit more quiet. and their soft serve is creamy & delish!!! read more

The staff is always very friendly and prompt to assist. They have good bar fare with smash burgers and wings. The beer list is good and on Wednesdays they have 0.99 cent wings which makes a night out easier. Only drawback is how crowded it can get on game days and other events, but they handle crowds well. read more

First off this has become our pregame/event place. Typically great service and food is good too. We had a different experience once this week. We gout sat outside and the host told us we had to order our drinks at the bar but we could order food from our server. That seemed odd and made no sense. I went to bat and ordered and paid for my beer and the bartender just walked away without me getting my beer. By the time i got back our server came by, Courtney?, she was great. I thought it was weird she had the entire patio...I've worked in restaurants...that's an insane amount of tables! She was great and understandably busy. I had another issue with the bartender. But mainly we want to sing her praises. She was great! We'll definitely be back! read more

Worst "service" ever. Waited in line for 5 minutes to get in. Upon entering we were told there was standing room only or we could find find an open table. Found an open table outside but waited for 20 minutes for someone to take our drink order, but no one came. Finally got up to place to order at the bar, but was told there is no food order service outside...what?! Why didn't anyone tell us that when we came in??? read more

Excellent smash burger. Portion of tots could have been bigger. We didn't get any utensils or napkins. This made it messy to eat our Seattle Dog and Smash Burger. My friend ordered a side Caesar with his Seattle Dog so he just waited until the waitress would walk by again to ask for a fork. She finally walked by at the end of the meal. When you enter, there are bar tables near a wall with grates in it that is in view of an entry to the kitchen. Probably not good for staff to be standing there eating while you are waiting your whole meal for a fork and napkins. Overall, I would go back. This is a new location so worth going back for another try. read more

The security team is awesome food is great awesome place for a prematch stop will be back

Matt sucks as a server, 0/10, worst of all time, hall of terrible inductee. We went in on an extremely busy Saturday afternoon, around 11:30 on the day of the Mariners ALDS (10/4/25). I worked as a server for 6 years, so I totally understand being slammed. However, we sat a small table that had just enough room for our party of 3 people. About 45 minutes into our time there (we had been ordering food and drink consistently), Matt decided to sit a party of 2 right next to us at the same table, with no room to move. The couple who sat next to us was very nice and had a young baby, very sweet and good company. But WHY would a server sit a party at the same table without asking? Ridiculous, but anyway. He comes to clear our table, and we notice as he's taking the food to the trash, he EATS SOME OF OUR LEFTOVER OFF THE PLATES. Doesn't matter to me, but that was the weirdest thing I've seen from a server ever. As the grand finale, we go to get the check, and he gives us the Toast (I've used Toast for many years as a server, so totally familiar with the machine). He shows my friend how to use it, and then says "Teach your other friends how to use it". Brother, it ain't rocket science buddy, it's pretty easy. When he got back, sarcastically I said "It was super complicated" and he said "Well now you're all ready to be servers". LOSER MENTALITY!!! Plenty of former servers living everyday lives, including myself homie. Such an L server, never going again. Totally understand being slammed as a former server, but his service was the worst I've ever seen. read more
