    Bloody mary stop on my errand run
    Laura H.

    I had a great time at Loose Wheel tonight! It isn't the first place I think of when I'm looking for a salad, particularly a vegetarian salad, but I saw that they had a tree hugger salad and it had tons of veggies on it! In addition, it also had black beans, which I so appreciate! So, we stopped in. My margarita was great, my salad was fantastic. I got a large size just so I would have some to take home. I liked both the garlic balsamic vinaigrette and the blue cheese. My salad came with a choice of bread and I chose a biscuit. I haven't had a biscuit in ages! Wow! It was delicious! This place would be great for breakfast. My partner had the chicken strips and tater tots and he ate the whole thing. He said it was delicious. Again, I want to acknowledge the service we had. I wish I knew the name of the woman who was waiting on us, but she was short like me and cute as a button. Her shift was ending shortly and she was working the morning breakfast shift. If you know her, let me know her name! She certainly made our visit. Hopefully she will get to go to another ugly sweater party soon!

    It's quirky and fun! The staff was delightful! Food was okay, on the pricier side but portions are large! 16oz steak for $24 and jojo's for $9. Would go again as a place to hang with friends.

    A decent place for a value meal. The service is as expected and the food is always satisfying

    I visited The Loose Wheel for appetizer and drinks, with 3 friends. Our server was very nice, but her attention to detail was not very good. One of the members of our party, specifically asked to not receive a particular seltzer flavor, and our server delivered the flavor my guest did not want. When she brought the other drinks, she gave them to the wrong members of my party. I really like this bar, and the drinks and appetizers were very good. My server just needed to be mire attentive.

    Been here a handful of times at this point. The food has been good generally. The servers are always nice, and the food comes out at a reasonable time. I think its a good value. All the times I have been here, I have been stuffed or taking food home. This is a neighborhood sports bar/dive bar/restaurant/ where you will see a wide range of people.

We sat at a table that we put two tables together because they were too small. It worked out for us two. There were reserved tables, so I was happy with what we had since it was going to get crowded at 4-430 already. We parked in the parking garage which is free, and went upstairs and it is pretty easy to find in University Place. Once there, cool ambience- big long bar! And they have the games on so feels fun and sporty. Good spot for happy hour or quick bites with friends. Once it got crowded, hard to hear but the drinks were GREAT! I didn't get photos but I had the old fashioned and espresso martini. We also had the beef Wellington from happy hour which takes 30 minutes so order ahead! And the hummus plate. Since it was her bday they gave us a complimentary, free dessert which was a wonderful gift and gesture but also delicious! Will come back!!!

There is often a food truck, so if you don't mind that kind of setup there is at least food available across the lot. No servers or bussers as far as I noticed, so you get your own stuff and clean up after. Also no bar, just beer and wine. And I have had Seven Seas beers many times, and haven't really found one I would go back for. Lots of people love their beer, I'm not saying it's bad! Just not for me. Service is minimal at best. In the times I have been there, it's been one beertender, no service at your table and service at the bar has been less than great. Not particularly friendly, just .... there. If you've never been, I'd recommend checking it out for the experience. But the Tides is also right there and in my opinion such a better experience. Also parking is VERY limited, so you may have to park a block or two away.

Not a huge fan of the ambience in Bar Rosa, plywood floors and very dark. We were sat in a booth, and it was as the sun was setting. The windows are all illuminated and beyond filthy (inside) - it was hard not to notice with the windows open and leaning towards our table. I also was the unfortunate one to have the sun straight and my face for about half of our dinner. Service was hit or mess. We waited a long time with no check in for more cocktails. The cocktail choices are great, however, they were out of a particular cocktail my friend wanted to order. We started with the meatballs, not good. The sauce however was phenomenal! Meatballs were just very dense and dry. The appetizer came out not even 5 minutes after our order was put in, so they were lukewarm at best. When we ordered our pizza, they were out of the homemade sausage, this was Saturday night at 6pm???, so we ordered the foraged pizza as is. The pizza was delicious. My friends ordered the Marguerita - crust was a bit over done. Food was good- $30 a pizza good, not in my opinion. Hi, generally do not leave negative reviews- I look for the silver lining at majority of restaurants I visit- but this was a tough one for me. Again- maybe an off night.

Had to go to the bar to get service and order which is ok. The drink menu was a QR code, which I appreciate but I also like physical menus. The food menu is minimum and didn't order anything.

The ambience is definitely different. Quirky, fun, good instragramable place. Unfortunately, when we arrived although cozy there was a strange smell like burnt candle or burnt something. The candles they have are LED so ruled that out. This is my 2nd time. I would give better review but I am a little disappointed by their overall offerings.

We got there before the nighttime crowds and managed to score the cozy couch in front of the fireplace in the back. It filled up quickly after that, though! The mood is moody and cozy, the perfect spot for making this apart of date night. I can't speak much to the food as we did not order any, but the menu is pretty elevated for a bar. I wouldn't say this place is divey at all, but the menu was still surprising. Service was good and they had a great selection of drinks. I got a hazy IPA (as per usual) and it was delicious! We also got a couple of shots here and absolutely adored the shot glasses they use. They look like tiny cocktail glasses! Overall we thought Holy Moly was a vibe and we will definitely include this in our 6th Ave rotation.
