As you can see, my previous review wasn't the best experience..... But 10 years later I revisited and The Loft redeemed themselves! We were on the hunt for a late dinner and decided to come here for something more casual. We were able to seat ourselves and found a little booth. Shortly after the waitress was at our tables with menus and got drinks started - she was so nice! They have a pretty standard selection of drinks in comparison to the rest of the restaurants in town. I always love the Enchantments Hazy by Icicle. My husband and I decided to split a couple things and we started with the Beef Sliders and followed up with the Chicken Bacon Ranch wrap. The beef sliders were so cute and they were cooked well - no complaints there. The Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap was also really good. The chicken was a little on the dry side if I'm being picky, but overall we enjoyed it. I'm glad that we decided to stop in for a better memory of The Loft. We'd definitely come back when we're in town again! read more

The Loft - Chicken Bacon Ranch wrap - Bars Near Me - Leavenworth, Washington

Very disappointing experience. We attempted to eat at The Loft Bar & Grill and were refused entry because I had my trained service dog with me. I clearly explained that she is a service animal, not a pet, but we were still told that "pets aren't allowed" and were not permitted to enter. There is an important difference between a pet and a service animal. Being turned away after explaining that was both frustrating and embarrassing, and the interaction itself was rude and dismissive. We left and took our business elsewhere. Based on how we were treated, I would not recommend this establishment, particularly to anyone who relies on a service animal. Management should make sure its staff understands the rules regarding service animals and treats customers with disabilities respectfully. read more

Mostly locals but a few tourists like us. Walk up the stairs for some pretty good grub, stout drinks, and good times. It's all burgers and wing and bar food, but it's done well and reasonably priced. Cocktails aren't bad. Beer on tap is cold. It's a little loud. It's a little sticky. It's a good time. read more

Came in ordered a drink and food. Edwin server took our order and apparently left for the day because no food arrived and when we asked the replacement server "Marcie" she said she wondered if maybe we were waiting (45 mins) for food??? She said he didn't put any order in and she also said he's NOT my favorite person to work with but I only work one day a week w/him. $30.00 for crappy well drinks and no food... Maybe Edwin needs some coaching so you don't lose more business!!! Truly disappointing, been coming to the Loft for years. read more

4.5 stars. This is not a typical place to stop for me, but I am so glad I did. What we got: Garlic fries, poutine fries, pulled pork nachos, and Seattle dog. Listen, we're from Texas - these are probably top 5 best pulled pork nachos I've ever had; the chips were fresh, the ratio of it all was perfect, 10/10. Both garlic and poutine fries were AMAZING - fresh, crispy, and beautifully seasoned. My friend said her Seattle dog was good, but not something that blew her mind. Atmosphere: Like I said, not my typical place, so I won't critique too harsh here. It was fairly clean and I like that there was natural light pouring in. Service: This is where we lose that half star. There was one other party and a few guys at the bar. Our serving was lacking just a tad bit; didn't check on us and my friend and boyfriend had an empty drink for almost the entire meal. read more

I like this place. Bar/restaurant upstairs. Solid menu with well executed meals. Full bar. Bartender knows how to mix a cocktail. A little loud but not outrageous. Great service! read more

Very mediocre. For the "chicken wings and drummies" came and not a wing in sight. All drum sticks. Asked if that's how it typically is, server said no not usually. And that was that. They were not crispy like the menu states, so if you like crisp outside ask them to cook more. Had chicken nachos that were so bad. Soooo bad. Cheese layer so thick on top that was not melted at all. Found 2 small slivers of chicken. Chicken avocado burger and fries were good. TVs were the draw to watch sports. Bartenders very nice. read more

The hostess, waitress, bartenders and even one of the managers were all incredibly friendly and polite. Our service was fast and affordable. Lots of TV's which was great to watch college football on Saturday. Even at night when we came back for drinks it was very cool place with great service. It can get busy but you can get around that if you don't mind sitting with strangers. read more

The Loft - Hot Crown Apple Cider - Bars Near Me - Leavenworth, Washington

This place is okay depending on what you're looking for. If you want a huge drink selection and a basic menu, this place will work for you. If you're looking for the Bavarian themed food that is so popular here, this isn't your place. We just ordered a burger and some onion rings and they were fine. There was only one server working during our visit and she was doing a good job of juggling everything but she could have used some help! read more

We came across this place just as we were giving up for the night since everywhere else was closing down on a Sunday. Came here after a recommendation from someone at München House which came in so clutch. I agree with some folks here, the service isn't that great, but coming from the city, we're used to it. Other than the service, the place itself is pretty cool, you have full views of everything from up there, including the downtown area and mountain views if you happen to sit in one of the corners of the restaurant. Also liked their wooden cubby booths, we sat in one of those and it felt cozy and private since we were chatting it up. We didn't order any food but the options are endless, they legit have a little of everything, we'll be back even if only at the end of the night when nothing else is open. read more

Great drinks, awesome food, and such a fun atmosphere. Everything we ordered was fresh and full of flavor, and the drinks were on point. Perfect spot to relax, hang out, and it's an especially great place to watch the Seahawks -- good energy all around. We'll definitely be back! and to top it off great service. read more

We needed to kill some time before our dinner reservation and thought getting a drink at The Loft sounded like a good idea. When we got to the top of the stairs, we adhered to the "Please wait to be seated" sign and kind of stood there for a good 5 minutes before anyone noticed us. The lady who I guess was the hostess (but also a waitress) kind of sternly told us to wait outside. While we waited, some other couples walked in and did not adhere to the sign. Anywayyyy, within about 10 minutes, we were seated at a little booth. Our server was nice and patient with us. She seemed to be a little apologetic or empathetic towards our situation at the door. We ordered a round of drinks and left. The Nectarine Dream I ordered was sweet and fruity, but also pretty strong. I would get it again if I were to ever go to the Loft (maybe not when it is so crowded next time). It would also be nice to be seated by the window, but I guess that's for another trip to Leavenworth in the future. read more

Got here 12:15 got seated immediately. Had burgers within 15 mins of ordering and burgers were great. Nice clean inside, highly recommend if you looking for some burgers. read more

We tried coming here on the first day of our trip, and were met with a rude and cold door guy/ host who didn't provide any information about seating and every question asked was met with "no." and no other elaboration and he barely even looked at us when speaking. I understand needing to control the front but it was just very unwelcoming and rude. Despite this, we came back the next day because we really wanted to try the food and thankfully that guy wasn't there this time and it was a seat yourself situation. We got the jumbo pretzel with beer cheese and it was really good, I also got a margarita which I didn't really like and ended up sending it back, but the server was really nice about it. We asked for more recommendations for drinks and she recommended some sour patch kid shots that she said the bartender was really good at and they were amazing. They had a sign in the bathroom for disposable breathalyzers and I thought that was a super fun and unique thing to do, we had never seen anything like that before. Overall it was a fun environment and good experience and we would come again. read more

This was an awesome experience. We were looking for a place with good food and would have the Seahawks game on. BOY - Did we hit pay-dirt! The Staff was remarkable and quick. We squished into a table, made new friends, and cheered a lot. The food was to die for plus the energy in the room was infectious. read more

Edwin was amazing!!! Best burgers and the loft sauce was to die for. Great drinks and very knowledgeable about cocktail creations. Fun atmosphere. Very rustic charm. read more

Service was great & the food plentiful and delicious at a reasonable price. Great place to watch football on their big screens. Told us to stay as long as we wanted to and enjoy the game. read more

I come here on days there are open just to get the delicious food! The corn dog sausage bite things are why I come, that and the tacos! I've never had anything bad here but I don't get anything other than those now. The service is good, the huckleberry mule was amazing! The bathroom is super cool so weird but check it out. read more

The cheese sauce that came with the pretzel was the best I've ever had. It's made in-house and has this great twang to it. So tasty. I sat at the bar and my bartender was friendly and on the spot. I came in to watch the Oregon game and the TV's were plentiful, this is a great place to catch a game. I like the open space, high ceiling and the music playing was on point. read more

great stop to watch the start of a Mariners game last week on our way thru. great food, the chicken and bacon wrap and my husband's SW salad were just delicious! And probably the best fries I've ever had- with yummy dipping sauce. Wonderful beer selection and super fast super nice service. We were there at noon on a Wednesday. Highly recommend! read more

Full transparency: we order 4 meals and an appetizer and 4 drinks and it came out to $127. The food here was EXCELLENT. The service was great! And the ambience of the restaurant was good! Made us so happy we chose this spot for lunch! I recommend the chicken bacon wrap! read more

We visited Leavenworth, WA to check out the Bavarian-themed town and found it to be very touristy, which I suppose is likely the point. I mean, it did get us to drive out there from Seattle. We didn't find much that would bring us back a second time, but the Loft did have some good food. It was VERY loud but that was mainly due to a bridal party celebrating a few tables away from us. So, not really the establishments fault. Regardless, my wife and I enjoyed our meals. We documented the experience on the Destination Debrief YouTube channel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVgpEL3eoG8 read more

The Loft - Bars Near Me - Leavenworth, Washington

We came here at around 7:30pm on a Friday night and fortunately found a table right away for a party of 6. This place is in the middle of the main Leavenworth area and has a dive bar feel which is different from other places in the area. The Loft doesn't feel as touristy as other places and has a lot of TVs playing sports. We ordered the pork belly tater tots ($11.99) and poutine fries ($12.99) to share for the group. Both were really good but I preferred the tater tots more. The only thing for the poutine fries is that instead of cheese curds they use shredded cheese on top. I liked the tater tots so much that the next night I stopped by again to get another order of the tots to bring back to our Airbnb. For drinks I ordered the Woodinville old fashioned ($14) which was very good and one of the better old fashioneds that I've had. For food I ordered the shroom and swiss burger ($15.99) which was pretty good. The caramelized onions along with the cheese really make the burger, and it definitely helped that I was starving. The thing that takes me to a 5 stars is that The Loft is open a lot later than the other restaurants in Leavenworth. This place is open until 11pm/12am while many other places are open closer to 9pm/10pm so I appreciate the extra few hours to stay out a bit later when options are limited. read more

Looking for a local bar to have a typical Sunday at with a few cold beers, apps and the game, The Loft delivered. Most of the other places around Leavenworth are brewery's, wine cellars and such, really catering to tourists. Even as a tourist, sometimes you want that local watering hole. First off I like their new location. Not too often are you're in a bar you're elevated. If anything you're in a basement. The Loft as it's name may imply is on the second floor so catching glimpses of people out on the street is cool. You cant be disappointed with beer here. Well over 10 craft drafts here. 7 Euro drafts and of course bottles and domestics. Even some nice craft cocktails to choose from. Rolled in here, also to find that this is a 'Hawks' nest for Seahawks fans, the place had a nice vibe. For an app we got the pulled pork nachos. They were awesome. The pork had a great sweet flavor. Only criticism is some of the chips were a bit burnt as was the cheese. Still really good though. From there it was just a good time. The bartenders and waitstaff were nice and made good recommendations. If you're in leavenworth and looking for a more local spot with lots of drink options. Come to The Loft. read more

Went there with my daughter a couple of weeks ago. It was a little busy but not horrible. It took the server a while to see we were there and when she finally got to us we ordered drinks. It took quite a while to get them but we knew she was busy so we were fine. We both ordered burgers with garlic fries. Here's where it gos wrong. I saw our burgers in the window about 10-15 minutes after we ordered them. At first I wasn't sure they were ours but unfortunately turns out they were. I saw them sit there for at least 10 mins when the cook put a couple plates of what looked like pasta next to the burgers. I watched as she reached around the burgers to grab those plates and deliver them to a table of 2 that arrived after us. The burgers sat in the window for almost 10 more minutes, as we were ready to walk out she finally brought them to us. We drove all day and were very hungry or I would have sent them back but knowing a few more tables arrived if I did that we would not eat for another 46 minutes. The fries were ice cold and the burger was lukewarm. Too bad because they were pretty decent cold, I'm thinking they might have been great hot. read more

Worst service ever! The sign says first come first served. We and 2 other couples (not with us) waited for at least 25 minutes for a table. A couple comes up past us and schmooze themselves to Victor, the door man. Victor offers them a seat at the bar. We (and the other couples) start asking Victor if we can sit at the bar because we didn't know it was an option. Victor acts as though he hadn't even talked to us when he had. He still let the cutting couple in and said sorry and he'd get to us next. We left. read more

What a great little "secret" spot. As we were walking in the rain, we were looking for a place to have lunch. Everyplace was crowded with lines that had wait times of 30 minutes or more. I spotted a sign on the street that beckoned us to come up the stairs and visit. Wow! We were pleasantly greeted by the "security" hostess that said we could bring our dog and come in right away. Yes, it is a bar and grill BUT the Loft had much more to offer. I had the beer brat and sausage bites. Ummm YUM!!!! Everything was cooked to perfection. Our service was fast, our server was friendly, and bonus, the bathrooms were clean! Yes, we'll be back for sure. read more

THIS PLACE SUCKS! DO NOT WAIT IN LINE! So much potential and so much BS all at once. Leavenworth is an absolute gem with awesome options... but this is not one of them. Bad music, bad service, and bad drinks... I mean what's the point? Don't come here. Save your time. Save your money. To residents in Leavenworth, a AMPM would be a better amenity in town than The Loft. Please replace if given the chance. read more

It was nice that they put the game on for us and the food and drinks came out quickly. However our original server told us she was leaving and wanted to cash us out, so we did. We were staying for the game so we assumed another server would take care of us- well that didn't happen and anytime we tried to get someone's attention we were ignored and we would get some dirty looks from the server assigned to our area. I guess it was a misunderstanding or miscommunication on their part but you know what works; communication. read more

Meh. Food was nothing special and drinks were the same. Service was good and the place is nice... but its just an expensive sports bar with a German theme (as is most of Leavenworth). Nothing here worth raving about. read more

Your typical bar food joint. The Nachos were delicious, the pulled pork amazing. The drinks were a little sweet for my taste, but that's pretty common. The service was very friendly and attentive.

My friends and I came to The Loft to grab a bite after our Historical Mill/Railroad Walking Tour and we were able to be seated quickly indoors! The Loft was in a convenient location within the town. It was a really toasty summer day and I'd say the indoor seating definitely helped cool us down! Our server was super nice and we got our water, drinks, and food without any delays! Also I think she was an MVP for working a 13 hour shift that day/night (she was also our server during the nighttime as well)! And I was surprised she was able to easily split our bill separately even when we had a somewhat large party (7 of us gals)! I really liked the Honey (it's Huney but printed on their menu as Honey) jun kombucha - I usually am 50:50 with liking kombucha (some taste like stomach acid to me??) but this one was light and did not have an overpower flavor, it was refreshing! Food wise I got the pork tacos which was an appetizer but felt like an entree (they gave you a lot)! I am a taco snob and I'd say the tacos weren't horrible but not amazing either, but if I'd been drunk I'd probably like that as my drunk person food! But I'd say the tortillas were very fragile and the contents of my taco fell out a ton- I might recommend an additional tortilla below each taco to help maintain the structure for the tacos so they are functional and all of the ingredient will end up in my mouth instead of on the plate or my lap. :( Summary: 5/5 on service, 5/5 location, 3/5 on food , 4/5 drinks = 4/5 stars overall! read more

Party of 4, 3 starters and 3 burgers. We had the wrapped sausage pops, the pork belly tater tots and the poutine. All were very tasty. The dipping sauce for the tots and pops was very tasty. My wife had the sourdough burger and raved about it. My in-laws shared a mushroom burger and loved it, while I had the bacon cheese burger. Incredible, juicy and the garlic fries were tasty. Had a couple of beers that were cold and tasty as well. Staff was super friendly and helpful and our server was quick and incredibly nice read more

I came in on a busy Saturday, so there was a wait, but compared to all of the other food joints around, waiting 20 minutes was seriously nothing at all! We got seated pretty quickly and we're ready to order right away since you can scan the menu and look at it while you're waiting to be seated. It's first come first serve, and they don't take down your name, so you'll have to stay in place. Again though, 20 minutes - not bad! The two that were working outside were GREAT. They were super attentive and so friendly, recommending a drink off the menu that I ended up loving, and checking up on us frequently. Our food also came really fast after ordering! We got the pretzel first that came with beer cheese, then the Classic Beer Brat and German Dog& Bacon Seattle Style. The food was just okay, nothing too special, but I enjoyed it all! I must say that the fries were bomb though - I could eat so many of those! read more
