This is exactly what a neighborhood sports bar should be. The wings came out hot, crispy, and packed with flavor, and the loaded fries were seriously on point. I'd eat both fresh at the bar instead of taking them home because this kind of food is better straight out of the kitchen. No online ordering, no fancy gimmicks--just cold drinks, sports on TV, and damn good wings. And no ranch? Respect. read more

As folks visiting from the South, we appreciate good food and genuine hospitality, and Vindicktive Bar and Wings in Seattle absolutely delivered. From the moment we walked in, we felt right at home thanks to Dom, one of the owners. He was an excellent host and a true professional who went out of his way to make our group of out-of-town guests feel welcome.The food itself was fantastic. The wings were great and cooked to perfection, coming out incredibly crispy on the outside while remaining juicy on the inside. Since we love a little heat, we tried the Habanero sauce along with the Reaper sauce. Both delivered a serious, flavorful kick that satisfied our craving for spice. To wash it all down, we paired the wings with an excellent local beer on tap, which rounded out the meal perfectly.Finding a spot that nails both the food and the service can be rare when traveling, but this place knocked it out of the park. It was a highlight of our trip to the Pacific Northwest. We highly recommend stopping by if you are in the area. Solid 5 out of 5 stars! read more

I'm no wings connoisseur but I've had wings I didn't like. These I loved! So crispy and flavorful! I got the lunch special of 8 wings and the house lager for $18. Good deal as I brought 4 wings home with me. I got the lemon pepper seasoning and it was perfect, not really wet but very crispy and tangy. The fries were actually really good too, thin and crispy, not just an after thought. I get what people say about the blue cheese. It's not a dressing or dip really. Hard to tell what to do with it. Press the blue cheese crumbles against the chicken. With my leftover wings at home I used my own blue cheese dressing to dip. But really the wings are so flavorful on their own, they don't need dip. The bartender was friendly and gave great service. Dark bar atmosphere but clean and as a person alone here in the middle of the afternoon, I was very comfortable sitting at the bar. read more

So glad I found this place on a whim. Was craving some wings and it was right by our hotel with good ratings. We went by and saw the vibe so decided to give it a change. We sat in a booth, the inside was so cool, clean and the server was so chill. We knew we're going to order fries and wings. The only qualm I had was with the loaded wings was that they stayed "blue cheese" not blue cheese dressing or sauce. We were expecting crumbles or something along that nature. The melted cheese and blue cheese sauce made it very wet and hard eat... you had to dig... don't get me wrong it was still good. Just misleading. The wings were good they do tell you that it's going to be a wait and they are small. And they are. So don't be surprised, make sure you order more or you will be hungry. I would go back! It was fun And the wings were yummy! read more

This is not a review I ever expected to write. For a long time, I genuinely enjoyed Vindicktive. I brought friends, family members, colleagues, employees, and business associates here on a regular basis--sometimes multiple times per week. The food, especially the wings, is excellent and one of the main reasons we kept coming back. Unfortunately, the customer service experience became impossible to ignore. What started as an occasional issue eventually became a consistent pattern of feeling unappreciated as customers. The more we supported the business, the more it seemed that basic hospitality, professionalism, and conflict resolution were lacking. Instead of feeling welcomed, many of us began leaving with the impression that our presence was tolerated rather than valued. What is most disappointing is that this isn't based on a single bad interaction. It is the accumulation of experiences over time, involving multiple visits and multiple people from my circle who reached the same conclusion independently. I believe every business has difficult days. Every employee can have an off moment. What separates great businesses from average ones is how they respond when concerns are raised. In my experience, there appears to be very little interest in understanding customer concerns or resolving issues in a way that leaves people feeling respected. As a Seattle business owner myself, I understand how difficult it is to operate in today's economy. That is precisely why customer relationships matter so much. Every customer chooses where to spend their hard-earned money, and every business has a responsibility to make people feel welcomed, appreciated, and respected. The unfortunate reality is that Vindicktive currently feels less like a professionally managed business and more like an environment where personal dynamics often overshadow customer experience. Whether intentional or not, that perception has caused many people in my circle to stop visiting altogether. I take no pleasure in leaving this review. In fact, I delayed writing it for quite some time because I hoped things would improve. The food remains very good, and I genuinely wanted to continue supporting this establishment. My hope is that ownership reads this, not as an attack, but as an opportunity. Great food can bring people through the door, but great service is what keeps them coming back. Until meaningful changes are made, I can no longer recommend Vindicktive to friends, family, colleagues, clients, fellow downtown residents or visitors from abroad visiting for the 2026 World Cup or any other occasion that our great city host in the foreseeable future. 1 Star Review I am an Official Elite Yelper. Feel free to reach out to me directly for great options in Seattle and additional feedback! read more

I agree with an earlier reviewer about the food being quite good but the staff being a bit of an issue. The smash burger was good! I tried to get a seat at both bars for a game recently and multiple seats were "saved" for folks who weren't yet there. They didn't show up for 15-20 min and to boot they just sat there yapping, taking shots with the bar staff and not watching the game - that was frustrating. I'd also add that it's not a great place to watch a game. It's SUPER loud and they don't mute the commercials - which are dialed louder. Anyway - I'll try it again not on a game day - the wings looked good. read more

Was pleasantly surprised to find out their wings are gluten free! Our service was fine, but the food was really good. They do not have ranch (and be sure not to ask for it) but their blue cheese was delicious! read more

Hit or miss service. Great wing Wednesday deal and happy hour but after our second visit here we decided the vibes were not it. Wings are good, drinks are good, service can be rude and obviously they don't want you there. Host especially seemed like he was telling everyone longer wait times to get them to leave and go elsewhere. The vibes were negative and off. Some good music and a cool Christmas themed bathroom. Just not a place we see ourselves wanting to return to or support. Being treated poorly as a customer is never fun. read more

You've likely heard the folklore of Vindicktive and their tough guy stance on all-things-wings. No ranch, no crying, no talking smack on Buffalo sports, etc. This may seem like a hardo take on this humble food, but you have to love a restaurant that cares that much about what they're putting out into the world. Seattle has been known as a WEAK wing town, so I appreciate the specialization going on here. Maybe it will push others to step up their wing game. This place has a very cool grunge feel which fits right in over in Belltown. I know the owners are from NY, but I respect that they're also giving the spot a Seattle feel. We sat upstairs in the ULTRA grungy "arcade" area (just like 3 pinball machines that I didn't see a single person use, mostly decor I assume). The menu is incredibly simple which is what you want from a place like this. Some wings, some (not) wings, and some other drunk munchies. I got a 12 piece standard buffalo. I'm into spicy food, but I assumed that the hot buffalo would be outrageous at a wing place that takes themselves seriously. I must have been right because the standard was fairly hot in its own right. These wings are thoroughly deep fried. If you're into big and meaty bois, this is not the joint for you. But if you're into a nice crispy texture, and a STRONG flavor (that's me) you will love these wings. I thoroughly enjoyed the flavor of the blue cheese as well, and the texture is intriguing since it's far more chunky than the average. My only gripe is that it inhibits true dipability of the wings. Because the sauce container is so shallow, you can't fully engulf a wing inside of its tender embrace. This is an issue for me because I am a mf'in sauce boy. I suppose they want people to respect the wing for what it is, but many of us like to get truly lost in that sauce when it's wing time. I'd recommend getting another serving of it if you get 12 wings. Serving two celery sticks is also a hilarious thing to do. Maybe it's an homage to what they do in NY, but I have never understood the whole vegetables on the side of wings thing anyways. Just give me the wings and I'll be fine. I will for sure be back soon to try more flavors. Major props to Vindicktive and what they're doing for Seattle. read more

Vindicktive Wings - Buffalo - Chicken Wings Near Me - Seattle, Washington

got to this spot on one of their Wing Wednesdays, which was a discounted day with 99 cent wings The only options available on this day were Lemon Pepper Wet, Buffalo Medium, and their flavor of the day, which in this case was Thai Green Curry Note that a drink purchase is required to take advantage of this price It was pretty packed when we got there - so it took around 30 minutes to get a small table I was able to try each flavor of wing the one i liked the best was the lemon pepper. despite the flavor name being wet, this was the only flavor that had an actually crispy skin on the outside. i could definitely taste the lemon & pepper as well, making for a nice experience The buffalo wings were fine - but the issue was they were completely drenched in sauce, to the point where it was leaking over to the other flavor of wings. this much sauce was just unnecessary. the only thing these wings tasted like was your traditional buffalo sauce, and it overpowered the chicken completely. not a fan of these the thai green curry was alright - definitely tasted like green curry, but a bit too much sauce as well for my overall impressions - these wings were pretty small. i get that for 99 cent wings, they can't be too large, but I can't say these were very meaty at all. on the positive side, the quality of the chicken was quite good, and the blue cheese was nice as well I would say 12 wings is pretty filling, and getting them for $12 is a decent deal. the problem is the drink purchase inflates the price a bit read more

OMG I spoke with one of the owner homies the last time I was here about how I LOVE their nugs and he told me they were working on adding them to the full time menu, as well as their own version of a mashed potato famous bowl.. now I'm back and they have delivered on both of those ideas!! I will be back even more often. I also love ordering their well tequila and a hazy IPA while I'm waiting for their amazing food.

Came in last night to grab a drink and some wings, from the moment we got there the bartender seemed like it was an inconvenience that we wanted to sit at the bar but I was just going to brush it off as him having a bad day. This morning I noticed on the text receipt that I was charged for a $8 mimosa that I definitely didn't have! They don't even have a phone number for me to call and get this sorted out either. read more

Got to try the wings from vindictive wings for the first time. There is no designated parking - only street parking, Ambiance is a dive bar type of feel with loud music and tvs everywhere. Service was fast and convenient. Did not have to wait long for food to come out. I ordered the naked Mississippi dry, the Lemon pepper wet, and the Buffalo sauce. Out of the 3 flavors, the lemon pepper wet was by far my fav, then the Buffalo and lastly the naked seasoning. The wet wings are very favorable and saucy. Didn't like the Mississippi dry as the wings were extra crispy and dry. The table also got a wedge salad. I also ordered a side of shoestring fries. read more

Tracked down this place while looking for the Cavs/Knicks game. The beer selection was good and the wings were the best I had in a while. The flabby chicken skin did not exist here and they were fried to my preference. Tried regular buffalo but they let me try some hot Buffalo which was . Great bar atmosphere and everyone was attentive and helpful. Hope I find someplace like this In Chicago read more

I walked in and this place was really nice and chill. I hear on weekends that it is like the place to be. The music keep your head bobbing. The honey BBQ off the chain it's got a little heat to it but I'm from Texas and I can handle it. Buffalo wings are so good spicy got my hair sweating. Lemon pepper wet, not like any other lemon pepper ever tasted. The cray was different not bad but different. The other dipping sauce the blue cheese and ranch with mixed different sauce it's crazy good. I will be back read more

Vindictive Wings won best wing in Seattle in 2024. Of course I had to try this spot and see if it lived up to the hype. We went with a group of friends and it was a split decision. First off the service was good and we found a table pretty quickly. It has a dive bar feel with arcade games up stairs. Standard bar. But we came for the wings. We ordered the buffalo, lemon pepper, Mississippi dry rub, and the spicy miso parm plus some buffalo cauliflower. The buffalo sauce was my favorite and second was the spicy miso parm. I like my wings saucy. Half the table loved the dry rub Mississippi wings. This place also doesn't serve ranch, it's a blue cheese place. I like blue cheese but some of my friends didn't. That was a hard one to swallow. The wings were flavorful, cooked decent, not too small and not too big but overall they were just "okay". They are good wings but I was expecting more of a "best wing in 2024" in Seattle. Overall we agreed that these wings decent. A solid wing, but I don't feel lived up to the hype. read more

Great wings, spacious interior. We came on trivia night by accident but ended up enjoying the guy running the trivia and stayed. The only thing stopping me from 5 stars is their soda definitely comes from a bar gun, and I wish they would say that when you order. Other NA drink options are too frilly, I'd love just a regular diet soda or unsweetened tea. read more

In spite of multiple recommendations to this place online, I really can't say I'd return for wings. I ordered the hot honey bbq and hot buffalo. The flavor of the wings were really good, however, the wings were so tough. If you like that, this is your spot. The wings weren't all that meaty so the crunchiness/toughness of the meat was overwhelming. They do not have ranch, however, the blue cheese seems to be homemade and wasn't bad. I ordered at the bar and no one came to check on me so I can't say much about the service. It has a typical sports bar feel with multiple TVs and a barcade upstairs. I did throughly enjoy the hip hop/r&b playlist. read more

Its a bar with hot wings... what more can you say? We came here on a wednesday so the value was actually pretty great at 99c per wing. Flavours were solid, we tried all three they had at the time, buffalo, lemon pepper and Sriracha honey. Star of the show was the Sriracha and lemon pepper. The ambiance is lively with a barcade upstairs. Now, the biggest pro of all however was the staff! Everyone was super friendly and helpful. read more

Came here for the Wednesday $.99 wings deal. We did have to wait for like 40 minutes to get a table which is pretty long time just for some wings. When we got seated the service also took a long time. You do have to order a drink for the wings deal and I got a soda and that shit was the flattest soda I have ever had in my life. I don't know how they're diluting it or making it. We got the cauliflower bites which I think is a pass but my friends enjoyed it and of course we got a total of 32 wings in their special flavor of the week, honey Sriracha and lemon pepper. We thought the wings were really good but not worth the 40 minute wait. I didn't think it would be a fun place to come with friends if you have a lot of time though . read more

Loved this place! Went for dinner around 9 on a friday- very loud and lively but they had some seating space upstairs. Ended up being perfect because we were so close to the TV and could watch baseball. The food was unreal! Great prices and great quality. I got the cauliflower wings (the best i've ever had) in the salt and vinegar sauce. My partner says the meat is also great though- he loved the hot honey BBQ and lemon pepper wet. Also, the plain fries were perfectly cooked. Lastly, we had a great bartender that made a delicious NA cocktail for me! It's not on the menu but they have a few, so just ask. Also.... make sure you check out the bathrooms! read more

Stopped into vindictive while in belltown during last visit. Had heard hype but never gone so decided to change that. Used to love going to this location when it was belltown pub and I'm glad the neighborhood has another solid restaurant option. I like what they did with the upstairs adding in some arcade games. We went late night after the mariners game on a Friday and it was packed. We were lucky to get a table. With how busy it was our server was awesome and on top of everything. I went with 12 buffalo wings and my wife got the burger. The wings came out extremely crispy and saucy the perfect combination. The sauce had some heat which I loved! They were some of the best wings I've had. Also a heads up they do not have ranch so don't bother asking. The wings are so good on their own though that you don't even miss it. Definitely live up to all the hype. The burger was also very good along with the side of fries. read more

Coming back to update my review as Vindictive has become my go-to place for wings. I don't know what kind of sweet love they're making to their wings, but my gosh they're so good now! From the rotating wing of the week, to the quick and attentive service, to sumo - it's a vibe. I'm glad I gave this place another chance, and I'm even happier my taste buds came around like liking blue cheese. read more

Friendliness of the staff and overall vibe of the restaurant was spot on. The wings were good but a little dry and small. I preferred the hot honey bbq as they were sauced up and had a nice mild heat. The fries were McDonalds-esque which I liked. I was apprehensive of them not having ranch but I will say they have the best blue cheese I've ever had. read more

We got to try the Bloody Mary's this time! A little heavier on the pepper than we'd prefer, but still happy we tried them. Server was super nice, and the wings were once again excellent. One little complaint that I forgot in my last review is that it gets pretty hot in here when it's packed and it's hot out. AC or a couple more fans would do this place some good. read more

I enjoy wings often at different places and was excited to find a spot that seemed to specialize in them. Their wings were small and dry, unfortunately - overcooked for sure. The sauce was tasty, but the bleu cheese was weird and thick and for no good reason, ranch wasn't an option. Also found the cocktail - a simple mule - watered down. Fries were meh - similar to McDonald's but not quite as good, which isn't saying much. The music was quite loud and not good, which I know is a matter of taste, but made it worse. Would not recommend. read more

I sat at the bar, Marissa was my bartender and server and was amazing. Very friendly and provided great suggestions for what to do while I'm in town. Food is fresh and served hot. Had the 8 piece wings lunch special. Perfect for a cool rainy day. While a Buffalo Bills bar, the ambiance is great for a quick drink or taking your time to kick back and relax with friends. I'd recommend this spot to everyone as well to all my Kansas City Chiefs friends! read more

I wanted to try this restaurant for their Wednesday $1 wings. The wings were decent. Nothing special about them other than price. There were only three flavors too. We had their buffalo, lemon pepper, and special of the week: Enchilada flavor, which was kinda good. If you want the $1 wings deal, then you have to buy a drink, so we had their soda, but it costed $4.... and the drink was a bit flat. The service was below average.... Personally didn't enjoy the server's service, as they weren't that nice. The food took awhile to make as well. The ambiance was decent. It's a sports bar restaurant and they had a good amount of TVs everywhere. Overall, I wouldn't come back and I'd rather spend money on good wings even if it's not cheap. read more

I came for wing wednesday ( $1 wings). You could order the wings in batches of 6 or 12, and the available flavors were lemon pepper, buffalo, and maple harissa. I tried all three and my favorite was the buffalo. The wings were smaller than I thought they'd be and they were also dry. For $1 I don't think I can complain too much though. We waited around 30 minutes for our table and we came at 6pm. I think this would be a fun place to watch sports games since it's also a bar and they have tvs. read more

Fun place! Went here for HH right before the rush of people. Bartenders are nice. You order from the bar and they bring food out. They were super busy so wing flavors were just the 3 they had on wing Wednesday: lemon pepper, med buffalo and the teriyaki. My friend and I decided to order all 3 with some fries. Loved the hard fry in the wings. So crispy! It was so good I ordered some for my sister to go. I'm not usually a fan of lemon pepper or buffalo but their wings were so delicious. I'd come back just to try the other flavors. I really wanted to see if the mango habeñero were spicy but I'll save that for next time! read more

Great place to grab and drink, and a plate of specialty wings! Multiple televisions playing sports AND... sumo wrestling!

They also have an upstairs arcade for added entertainment. read more

Server randi C. (name on receipt) was rude and short with us. The wings - we got them naked - Were horribly hard and dry. The server got very upset with us and said that we should have got sauce on them. So the cook cannot make wings right so you hide it with sauce? The lighting over the booth is very poor, we both had to turn on our flashlight on our phones to read the menu. The receipt says nothing of it being at Vindicktive, it say "Clean your Bones" and has no address nor does it have a phone number on it. I think maybe they do this so you do not remember where this was? At least it had a day and time on the receipt so I could compare. But needless to say, won't be back. Server was horrible. read more

Midnight munchies! Had a drink nearby and wanted either wings or pizza. Wings won and ended up here. They have a guy at the door checking IDs. Inside was quite loud. There's a second floor which has a few arcade games. The wing flavors my partner and I got were the lemon pepper and hot bbq. I liked the lemon pepper better. The size of the wings were a little sad though. The wait was also quite long to get our order. Before leaving, I went to use the restroom and oh my, it was like i'm taken to another place! It was all Christmas decorated! A nice surprise for me. I went during April, so i think they have it year round? The bar itself has some skeleton decors, so it was definitely interesting. read more

Was in the Belltown area and wanted to swing by a bar for some vibes and fries. The texture and crispiness was amazing, my only comment is that the fries were on the salty side. I had some bites that were like salt bombs. The bartenders were amazing, so sweet and kept asking if I wanted my water refilled whenever she noticed my empty cup.

It's not too much of a secret, Vindicktive Wings is a Buffalo Bills Fan bar. My friend and I decided to take in the crowd and go real early to watch the championship game as the Bills take on the Chiefs. We got in early to watch the preceding game and were able to secure some counter seats, so it was awesome being front row for the game. Had some beers and the bartending team were really on point despite the massive crowd, so kudos to them. Of course, a round of Wings, along with our beers was in order, you can get 6 for $10 or 10 for $18. I went with the latter as I was hungry by this point. I got the buffalo hot and it was sufficiently spicy. The wings come with a bleu cheese which is kind of chunky, it's pretty good. I found the wings to be on the small side, particularly for the price points, but they were good as is the sauce. Additionally, from their site "In addition to the delectable wings, Vindicktive Wings offers a variety of other menu items, including smash burgers, French fries, and a must-try Chopped cheese." Vindicktive Wings on its own its a decent Wing and bar spot, but if you're a Buffalo fan or from that NY/CAN area you'll probably feel at home here. read more

I saw this place pop up on my social media and thought why not give it a try. I went specifically on their wing wednesday and got the buffalo wings and enchilada wings they had at the time. I'm not the biggest fan of buffalo sauce, but it wasn't bad just plain old buffalo wings! As for the enchilada wings, I liked them! The flavor was for sure different, yet that's the appeal of it. I will say my only complaint would be that the wings were small and a bit dry ... Although, it is to be expected from a happy hour menu lol. As a heads up, you need to purchase a drink (soda/alc) in order to participate in their wing wednesday deal. I thought it was a little ridiculous, but why not since it's a first time experience. Our server was a bit rushed and not too attentive to our section. Just kinda came and went along when our food was brought out. It is your typical sports bar! There's people drinking left and right, it's loud and the tv's are all gonna be playing some sort of game. read more

I will start this off by saying I consume a lot of wings on a regular basis from various places. I will say that these wings are hands down the BEST wings I've had in all of 2025!!!! The hot buffalo were actually spicy but not overbearing. Honestly the buffalo is low key like a lemon pepper buffalo but the regular lemon pepper wet wings are good too!! I am very very impressed honestly and that's hard to do with me and wings lol the blue cheese sauce is homemade and phenomenal too! The ambiance is like a bar vibe with tvs and good music! After 10pm, it goes down to self service at the bar and you order there, close out, and then they bring your food to you. I will be coming back for their 1 dollar wing night on Wednesdays!!! read more

Was on a walk and decided to check it out and I'm glad I did! They have their own lager beer which was amazing and cheap. Bartender was attentive and the place was pretty busy at the time. The wings are the star though! First off HOMEMADE BLUE CHEESE DRESSING!! Amazing!! So good. Lemon pepper wings had amazing flavor they were my favorite to be honest. The Vindictive fries were heavy but good, would have preferred the regular fries but that is because I ordered so many wings. The buffalo was flavorful and had a lingering heat but mixed with the blue cheese soo good! All in all great wings service oh and sumo wresting on the tv! For sure need to try it. read more
