The food is SO GOOD! Tried both the pork chop and the filet and both were so flavorful and cooked perfectly. Also, dedicated Gluten free fryer & a lot of gluten free options!! Such a good date night spot, it's so cozy. Couldn't recommend more!! read more

Had the octopus special today. The octopus was so tender and had a char taste to it which balanced with the perfectly cooked and seasoned couscous. The sauce was well rounded. I think it was tomato and chili? It was savory with some sweetness and a hint of chili or pepper. The crunch of the thinly sliced slivered was a great texture contrast to the tender octopus and sauce. read more

Tried 't put have dinner there last Sunday night. The server was very friendly BUT!!!! We were taking a friend out to dinner and they couldn't put cream (any kind cream would have done) on her Coffee Nudge! And i was served an expensive martini without garnish. And our friend wanted the mac and cheese which was posted in their menu online. Guess what! no mac and cheese. We decided to try another restaurant. And if you want to know how that experience turned out, please read my review of the Fireside. read more

Recently went back to the Tin Room. Hadn't been in a while. Ownership has changed. Met the new owner and she was very nice. Like the changes that have been made. The bartender we had was very good as well. Friendly and good service. Food and drinks were good. Look forward to coming back soon. read more

FREE MOVIES ARE BACK FRIDAY NIGHT! That's right. There is a screening room size movie theatre at The Tin Room. Movies are shown at 7:30 They are not announced in advance. You can call the day of and find out. All the movies are iconic classics like James Bond. Last night I saw Back To The Future. I called the Tin Room a little before it opened at around 3:45. I wanted to know what movie would be shown and what time. 7:30. "Back To The Future". I arrived early. 6:30. Got a seat at the bar and ordered a craft IPA and the flatiron steak Special. It was cooked a perfect medium rare the way I like it on a bed of smashed fingerling potatoes. Delicious. Then it was time for the movie. I sat in the theatre all alone. Yes. Oddly, I had the entire theatre to myself! There is supposed to be drink and snack service at your seat but a quarter way through the film I had to duck out and request an order. Another IPA and fries. The theatre is equipped with a surround sound array but I did not notice any surround effects. Could have been the way the amp was set up, the DVD or just me. . Anyway I did enjoy the flick. I think folks are missing out on a great date night right here in Burian. At a restaurant that not only has great food but great movies at a great venue! Looking for something to do Friday night? I highly recommend this unique local and economical experience. Your date will love it. Or take yourself out. I did. And had a GREAT time. Excelsior! read more

I was in town visiting friends in Normandy Park (just moved to the area). They mentioned this restaurant. So we dined here Tuesday 12/16 evening. Our server was Hannah. She went over the menu with us. Showed us their cool little theater. Their happy hour is 7 days a week. Great happy hour prices and prices just in general. It was so nice to not have to go into the city. We ordered the happy hour bruschetta (2 orders) and the 3 piece prawns (which are giant). Our entrees consisted of the mussels with fries, flat iron steak, and the fish (rock fish) and chips. Everything was excellent. Cant wait to go back and try other stuff. read more

My family and I went to Tin Room last night and while the restaurant itself was cute and the staff was awesome, the food left a LOT to be desired. As an appetizer, we ordered the grilled pork belly. Served on a bed of fennel & apple salad,(?) the pork was well-cooked, tender, and had a great smoky flavor. This was the high point of the meal for me. One of my family members ordered the fish & chips as an entrée and I tasted a piece of it; it was a tasty piece of fish and a nice tartar sauce, but the slaw served with it was over-seasoned and mostly inedible. My entrée was the pork schnitzel, and it was decidedly not what I was expecting. The pork was not pounded thin, but rather served as a 1inch think boneless, breaded pork chop on a bed of sautéed purple cabbage and a mustard sauce. It was tasty but not $30 tasty, especially as the pork chop in look & taste came off as Shake & Bake? I honestly am providing this place 3.5 stars because the pork belly was yummy and the other members of my party were mostly satisfied with the meal, tho one did complain that their burger was rather dry. While I would eat there again because I would want to eat the fish n chips and try that pork belly again, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone for their first time in Burien. read more

Nice ambiance. Good location. Decent wine. However, for a place that seems to want to be a "bistro" it falls short on food vs. price. I ordered the Bistro Fillet which comes with fingerling potatoes. The dish is served. I look at it for a solid several seconds, and ask "is this the appetizer?" No, it's not. What is on the plate is not a fillet, but 4 medallions and one end of a fillet. It looks like a half a fillet in total, and I'm certain it was. A beat follows. "Where are the potatoes?" Viola! My TWO fingerling potatoes are hidden underneath two of the small medallions. I am giving two stars because the food was good and cooked well. But $25 for essentially an appetizer, not worth it. read more

Felt so comfortable there that night. Great service personable and friendly. Drinks perfectly made. Food worth every penny. Loved the remade Tin Room. Will be back. Soon. Cheers yall. read more

Sweet, eclectic space with delicious food. Everything about this restaurant & bar is charming. Creative menu with many GF options. Service was friendly. We will be back. read more

Great spot for dinner and cocktails always good service and free movies on the weekends!

Service was fantastic, staff recommendations were delicious, owner and bartender were both incredibly welcoming, kind, and helpful. Started with the peach cocktail and pear cocktail- both great. Ordered the stuffed dates, beet salad, fish and chips, and risotto and it was all fantastic! Dining partner got the pistachio, cherry, chocolate chip ice cream for dessert, which I thought sounded slightly odd, and I was blown away with how unexpectedly great of a combination that was. We took a piece of cheesecake to go. If I'm in the area again, I will definitely go back! Great background music and cool ambiance, too. read more

It's been quite a while since we've eaten here, but we thought we'd give it another chance. The new owner is absolutely wonderful and the food is amazing. Probably one of the best burgers I've had in a long time. All the bathrooms are completely updated, lobby has new chairs and furniture and it makes it feel very comfortable and clean. 909 was my only choice of restaurants, but with the upgrades Tin Room has worked itself back into the rotation. read more

Great food. Quite a change from how it used to be. Very welcome! The new vibe is exactly what Burien needs. Fresh, seasonal and local. Amazing cocktails! Warm service. Definitely worth checking out. read more

This place is meh. I liked the cocktails that I ordered with my date, but the service is so robotic and is just not creating an environment that makes me want to return. Food was ok, but very pub grubbish. Lots of oil and some chewy ingredients. It's a good place in a pinch, but for the price and ambiance, it definitely isn't my first choice in Burien for a night out. read more

We had a lovely drink and appetizers. The bruschetta with pear and goat cheese was fabulous and the calamari was delicious. It still has the same cozy atmosphere and the service was outstanding! I was bummed I couldn't stay for the movie. A wonderful neighborhood bistro. And so close to the airport if you have a long layover! read more

Small over priced average meals with bad service, drinks are mostly ice. In the past was a great place.

The rudest female bartender I've ever come across. Grew up here and made a joke, automatically kicked me out of the bar. The most ridiculous bar experience I've had since I was young read more

Great restaurant love the new style!! The food was great, the menu was more contemporary for the rest of Burien read more

All I have to say is this place SUCKS! I will never eat there again. Over priced terrible food, mediocre service bland food suitable for s retirement home. Never ever again, it was noisy they played terrible new wave music from the 80's that made it even worse. Don't do it don't go there you'll be sorry read more

They have dark N.A. beer!!! . And the burger was primo. I just wish it was easier to eat. If the bun was fluffier I think it woulda helped. read more

This was our favorite spot in Burien for several years. Unfortunately, they are hardly open for business anymore. If you can align their limited schedule with yours, go for it! read more

Even though the ambiance and service was good, I can't help but be disappointed in our shared plate of nachos. It was totally subpar compared to the nice vibe of this place. We had bottled beer and wine, and when the nachos came out it looked and tasted like a plate of chips with cheese one would microwave at home. It was hard to eat with the cheese stuck onto the plates and even with the toppings like jalapeño and sour cream it was far from being restaurant quality. Maybe cocktails are better, but I'm not sure I'd return. read more

Calamari frites (apart of their regular menu) and pub chips (pork belly with chips which was on their special menu) were AMAZING!!!

This place is great. Good food, tasty beverages, and helpful staff who are more than eager to please. (Just be careful of the bathrooms. Their TP is somehow both thin and scratchy. X_X ) If you visit on a cold day (and if they still offer it), I recommend the Jagger's Java. Brown Sugar Bourbon FTW! I really want to get back and check out their theater. Apparently they occasionally show INDIE MOVIES! :-D Pro-tip, ask nicely and they may heat up the popcorn machine and make you some OFF-MENU theater popcorn. :-) (GREAT FOR GROUPS!) read more

Tin Room Bar - NOT FOR SHOTS! - Bars Near Me - Burien, Washington

5 stars for our bartender. Food. Meh. $18 burger cooked to the extreme served on a Safeway sesame bun. Just not an acceptable burger. Absolutely no moisture at all. Wife had the Chicken Piccata. It's wasn't bad. Nice flavor. Not nearly enough chicken yet lots of pasta. Drinks were perfect. The drinks over delivered for sure. read more

I don't know what changed but it's not what I remembered a few years ago. Pros: ambiance is nice. Chill and relaxing. Beets salad was good. Cons: overpriced bad food. $18 for a burger that is dry with overstated fries feels like I'm being robbed. The server asked me how I wanted my burger and I said "medium rare" and she responds with "it'll come medium." Why even asked right? The twist was, the burger came out more than medium, it was done... so done that it's dry. Nachos was mediocre. Overall, I would just come here for the drinks... food may be an 'at your own risk' situation. read more

The manager on staff was really sweet when I went. Met clients there, and as well as a few impromptu drinks. Fun atmosphere. Too bad the Burien thing closes down so early. Need to keep ONE place open past 9pm, but I liked it here. Will return! read more

THEY BROUGHT THE MEATLOAF BACK!!! They've also added in few other things that make it a much better dinner place for traditional dinner foods. Thank you! read more

They brought the old jumbo chicken wings back. Great ambiance, diverse drink options, and a solid overall menu. Fantastic!!!

Decided to try this place after one of our tried and true places down the street wasn't open early enough. Heard so many glowing things about the Tin Room and know this is a beloved establishment. Lots of hype after they had been closed during the pandemic. The space is really cozy and fun, greatly intentional decor and historical. Service was dismal - relied on another patron to tell the host we were waiting for a table before anyone greeted us. Our server was kind but all over the place. Our food was a little sad and not worth the $15-18 we paid per plate. Cocktails were good. 3.5 stars. Would be willing to given this place another try. read more

I am beyond happy this gem reopened! Great drinks. Great staff. Wonderful small business with a cool movie theatre. Go to Burien. Visit the Tin Room, the 913, and Classic Eats for a perfect night out. read more

Three of us went there for dinner and drinks. We ordered calamari, chicken noodle soup, fish and chips, shrimp scampi, a Moscow mule and two old fashions. The food was good - calamari and soup outstanding, the entrees were good but not anything to write home about. I can say I have had tastier moscow mules that I have had there tonight...this one was a bit too tangy for my liking. The fries were killer tho. Great atmosphere, great staff. Would definitely recommend it. read more

Ambience. A Service. A Food. A Price. A Did you know Monday's are Half Off wine bottles! A great deal and fun with the meal! Also, this restaurant is attached to a small theater seating movie theater. Really cool. Usually second run movies. And they have good popcorn. To score a table in restaurant you might want to call and make a reservation. Or if single, sit at the bar. There are outdoor seatings during the warm and dry days. Service is always friendly and attentive. If you need anything just ask. Very accommodating. My favorite go to dishes are the bacon wrappped shrimp which they brought back to the menu after serious customer demand. Also, I love the grilled meatloaf cuts. Nice charcoaled edges wig hearty bites of beef. Served over nice mashed and seasoned brown gravy and side of asparagus. I'm a fan!!! read more

I absolutely love this place. As I was staying in Burien for business, my Airbnb host recommended checking out downtown Burien and Tin Room in particular. The first night I sat at the bar on your left after you walk in - let's call it the left bar for purposes of this review. Left bar was busy and full of locals. The food and drinks were fantastic and all of the staff was really friendly. I decided I liked everything so much that I went back the next night. Left bar was full, so I went to right bar. Right bar was even better than left bar! The bartender was super friendly and made one of the best cocktails I've ever had. The food was also even better than what I had the first night. I liked it so much that I went back for a third night in a row. This place is great! read more

Seems like there's probably something interesting happening here--there's a theater connected to the bar on one side. Not sure what kind of production they put on stage there, but there's a classic Vegas neon sign out front for it, and you enter the theater through the same front door as the bar. Hmmm. This is a funky, pretty cool little strip of Burien, actually--lots of different-looking saloon-type bars gathered in a stretch of other businesses. Not sure if this is kind of a goin'-out area in any big way, but they're making an effort in that direction. If so, this place seems to have the cocktail side of things nailed down, not that I ever order such. There's a long concrete bar, and a scattering of tables. Behind the bar are sturdy, almost industrial-looking shelves and racks custom built for them, and a huge sign advertising a metal shop. Must have been some sort of aerospace or automotive metal work place here, or near here, before? The staff are nice enough, and certainly on point with the libations. Prices are fair. There are a couple of flat screens in the corners, showing the game. I like this place, and next time I need to pick up somebody at the airport and I am early, I will likely be back for another pint. read more

Tin Room Bar - Maritime islander - Bars Near Me - Burien, Washington

What a nice place this is - for drinks, good food and atmosphere. They have outdoor seating too. We highly recommend this place. Based on two recent visits: the chicken, apple and romaine salad was good. Chicken Picatta was amazing, as was the cajun shrimp pasta (but it came with angel hair pasta instead of the advertised penne pasta). Drinks: manhattan excellent, as was the summer sangria. Prices are about what you'd expect for this type of place - not too steep, but not cheap eats for sure. Service was just about right: attentive without being intrusive. read more
