Love the atmosphere and location. It is a perfect spot to eat right after a run, walk or hang out on Greenlake. And you can't forget about watching the games there. Plus, the Happy Hour is AMAZING!
Great customer service and quickly serves big groups. I recommend this spot for a girls or guys night out or even a fun date. Summer time is even better. -

The happy hour deals are great! And they let us order off the happy hour menu in the restaurant, not just the bar, which is great if you are with a bigger group.
The service was very quick and friendly.
This is a great place to watch a game too, as there are many TVs to view.
Once it hits summer, the deck is an AWESOME spot to hang out and grab some food. -

It's just a regular pub with some micro brews. The beer selection wasn't all that great. They had alaskan, bud light, stella, and the rest were from Red Hook. So the line was boring to me.
Now for the food: the husband had the big bleu burger and I had the cheesy burger without the 1000 island dressing. The burgers were ok, but very expensive. Mine was 11.00 and his was 13.00. That's expensive for just a hamburger patty on a kaiser roll with french fries. The fries on the other hand, were cold and stale. I was not impressed on those what so ever. Plus, it was loaded with sodium.
The only thing that saved this place from getting just one star, is the service. The bartender was very attentive towards us even though we were not drinking any sort of alcoholic beverage.
Will I go back? Maybe... But that's if I'm actually in the area. I sure wouldn't go out of my way to return to this place. -

Are you trying to watch the game but also like to drift off into an amazing day dream while staring off over a majestic lake? Well, look no further, you've found the place! The location is the awesome and, when Seattle gets around to having nice days, the view is the tits.
You got TVs in the key spots so when you're with that special someone and they're just not saying anything very interesting, you have entertainment at a mere glance. The location is close enough to UW to provide some energy when there's a game but far enough a way where the bros and hos won't want to stagger off of Greek row and make the trek.
The service has always been on point and friendly. The service always keep an eye out on your drinks and make sure you have everything you need to enjoy your food.
The food is good standard bar/pub fare. I go with the wings and beer, but I have been known to consume large quantities of the habanero mac and cheese. They usually have a local brew or two on tap to wash it all down.
Go out and sit on the deck in the summer and you'll be hooked for life. Guaranteed. -

I like this place. Mostly for the large bar and TVs. It's a good place to meet up with friends and huddle around the TV with a drink in hand.
I didn't really come here for the restaurant, and I'm glad I didn't. The food isn't bad, it's just not something to write home about. I ordered the chop salad (or whatever their version is called) and I enjoyed it. A little bland but I ate the whole thing and felt quite satisfied.
The location is great! It's almost right on the water in one of the cooler parts of Seattle - eastlake. Easy parking, and a nice spot to relax.
So, if you're looking for a wowsa meal, maybe find another spot. But, if you would like a good time, some good little snacks, and some good sports watching... come right in. -

Great outside deck and great happy hour! I've been here a few times and never had a problem with my server or my food. Granted the food is not gourmet, but great for a restaurant/bar of this type. My favorite is the habanero mac & cheese and sweet potato fries.

This isn't a huge space so imagine my surprise when I walked in with 11 other people and they offered to seat up all together within 15 minutes. We really thought we'd just be split up into 2 groups of 6 or 3 groups of 4 and we were totally fine with that. But, the manager working the night we stepped in was so kind and she made it work so that our group of friends that had travelled from all over the US could sit together and we really appreciated it.
We also appreciated the fact that we had such great service and our food came out so quickly considering how many of us were there. And I personally appreciated how they worked with me on menu changes, swapping out steak for chicken on a salad even though it really wasn't an option for me.
If I had to recommend one thing for you to eat here I'd probably pick the fish tacos though. That's what Nick got and I kept stealing bite after bite from his plate because they were quite good!Listed in: Adventures in Seattle!

I never like the food, or the selection of food for that matter, at Eastlake Bar & Grill.
There is absolutely nothing worthwhile about this place except the deck in the middle of the summer.

This more like 3.5 stars. The patio, of course, is awesome and is the reason for the additional points. Been here a few times as its right down the streety from my apartment and the happy is the only time to come. Otherwise, the food is overly expensive.
$13 for a cheeseburger and another $3.50 if you want to sub a little salad instead of fries? C'mon... Its still a bar. -
Review from Lisa R.

Um, yeah, $12.99 for a burger that is charred to a crisp? I'm not usually a brat about my food but come on. I know they can do better than that.
I'll hope that my visit today was just a fluke. Normally I really enjoy my burger here - the western one has yummy BBQ sauce and onion rings. My only problem with this place is the price. They could really take off about $2 per entree based on the quality of the food, which is pretty much average.
The bar isn't bad and the times I've been for happy hour, it seems to be pretty good. But compared to the other eateries on Eastlake this is just...average.
I do love that they have a decent sized parking lot here, definitely convenient for lunchtime when I have a strict time limit to adhere to. -

I've been to Eastlake Bar & Grill numerous times, but I'd only been for lunch until this weekend. Turns out, they have quite the extensive brunch menu.
I came here with a few friends and none of us could decide what to order. Too many things sounded good! We all ended up drinking mimosas, which were delightful. I finally decided on the California breakfast sandwich: as ciabatta roll with a fried egg, avocado, cheese, & pesto mayo. SO good. I loved the potatoes on the side, too.
My friend ordered a cheese & mushroom omelette and her boyfriend had the breakfast tacos and they were both very happy with their orders. We also loved being able to sit on the patio and enjoy the sunshine. It was a perfect choice for brunch! -

Came in here last night with some friends. Sat on the deck which was nice. All ordered a round of drinks from our server Nanda or Nanya I couldn't quite remember or hear her name, but she was friendly and gorgeous and that's all that matters.
We asked about happy hour menu's since it was almost 10. Their happy hour menu was quite large I was impressed with all of the options, and the prices weren't bad either.
I had the classic mac & cheese and a caesar salad both YUM. Couple of friends had the tacos, one a burger, and one coco prawns. This was my first time on the deck. The late night happy hour seems to be where it's at because regular happy hour is always packed and I'm forced to sit at the bar on sunny days which makes me sad.
Service was on point even when our server was switched out. I did kind of feel like we were being rushed to leave once we were the only people left on the deck, but we were ready to go anyway so not a big deal. -

The service is OK, somewhere like 2 star. The prime dip sandwich is sub-par. Avoid this selection. The best prime sandwich is F. X. McRory's in Pioneer Square.

Review from Eugene O.

This place screams mediocrity with a beautiful view: an overpriced menu full of frozen crap, slow service, decor that reminds you of something coming out of the 70's and a nice balcony with a view of Lake Union while you enjoy aforementioned features.
The menu is a head scratcher to say the least. Chock full of greasy affair of deep fried sandwiches and an abundance of burgers, along with frozen "bottomless" fries that remind you of something coming out of a drive thru. They buy these in by the droves. My sliders didn't have anything unique at all: bbq slider, bleu cheese slider. It makes me sick just thinking about the possibility of the sauces on these burgers being processed and bought in. I bet my money they were.
The prices are abnormally high considering such frozen crap. I'd be willing to pay higher prices if the menu was edible, fresh and unique.
Our server was incredibly inattentive and lazy. We had to flag her down twice just to put in a few simple requests, as long minutes had gone by since she seldomly checked up on us.
The decor is sorely outdated and appears to be something out of the 70's. Think an old, popcorn ceiling apartment with that smell of old wood and furniture. It's an eye sore.
If you want good food, fresh food made with care without the hoopla of the view of the lake, head down to Louisa's Cafe half a mile south. You can thank me later. -

Great Happy hour specials and nice views from the outdoor patio!
I'm a huge mac and cheese lover. They offer two types of mac and cheese on the happy hour menu. I ordered the special $6.99 mac and cheese + $2 for the steak with bleu cheese and steak. However, when my food arrived to the table it was mac ad cheese with chicken and bacon. The manager gave me the wrong order. I was really hungry and really didn't care what mac and cheese I rec'd so I ate it. The waitress came by to check on us and immediately noticed that I had the wrong order. She offered to bring out the correct plate however, I had already started eating...so I told her not to worry about it. Overall, the meal was just OK. The chicken was a little dry and flavorless. I am curious about the mac and bleu cheese so maybe I'll order that the next time. At the end of the meal the waitress felt bad for the mix up with my order and comped my meal. I was really impressed with their customer service.
I look forward to trying out other items on the menu.
Also, this place has a parking lot which is nice. You don't have to worry about trying to find a spot on the street.Listed in: Best Happy Hour in Seattle

Eastlake Bar & Grill, or "EBG" as our friends call it, is one of our regular hangouts.
Tastes: The food is okay, nothing special, but nothing offensive. The hummus appetizer is really good and pretty big. Stay away from the chicken artichoke dip which was delivered to our table by accident one time that we ordered hummus. Burgers and wraps are pretty safe and standard.
View: The patio is amazing. Lots of seating and an amazing view of Lake Union. On a sunny day, this is our go-to place.
Fun: On Monday nights, they have trivia which is really fun. Not too serious (no rigid rule followers) but fun questions and good prizes. Each week the theme for the next week's trivia is set so you have an advantage if you go regularly.
It's also kid and baby-friendly which has been great for some of our friends, as other great patios in the area (Joey's) are 21+.
Prices: EBG has very reasonable prices and lots of specials throughout the week. If you have a prime/passport card, it's a total steal!
This is absolutely our default sunny day hangout, and we're lucky to live so close by! -

I would only suggest Eastlake Bar & Grill for Happy Hour, which is everyday from 3-6 or 9-close. There isn't anything too unique on their menu, besides the fact that everything is reasonably cheap for your buck. I'm a fan of the Chicken Sandwich for $5.99 and it comes with fries. I noticed some new items that looked tasty to me such as the Habanero Mac & Cheese--I'll definitely try that next time!
Link to their menu: http://www.neighborhoo....
They have drink specials of wells, wine, beer and cocktails, which I definitely appreciate as I like have options. The Neighborhood Punch tastes like Hawaiian Punch to me :)
Service has always been very friendly and personable. We did have a problem with slow-service and no one filling our waters the last time here. :/
Eastlake does have an two outside decks with a beautiful view of Lake Union! -

I come here so much that it's become a running joke among my friends. What can I say? The happy hour rocks, the waterfront deck has one of the best views in town, and it's within walking distance of my house in case I drink too many double margaritas.
Loves: The deck on a nice day. Two happy hours every day. Cheerful, familiar servers. The cookie sundae. The California breakfast sandwich. Flavored mayo (I know, I'm disgusting, but chipotle seasoning wins me over every time). Rarely a wait for an inside table.
Not so loves: The non-happy hour prices. The food here's good, but it's not THAT good. A salad should never cost more than 10 bucks, and if it does, it should be phenomenal. -

I was here on a sunny Sunday with a large party of ~20 people. I ordered the Fish Tacos and they were tasty, but perhaps a tad spendy at approximately $13.
-1 star for the service. The staff was generally attentive, but they missed the order for one of our party and she ended up eating her meal well after the others.
In general it's a great location on a sunny day given the view over Lake Union. -

I work really near here so we often come to lunch here. NEVER again though! I always hate it, every time I go.
We've never been able to make it out of there in less than an hour 45 because of the slooooow slow service. And every time at least one of us has something wrong with our order.
The last time I went I called ahead for a to-go order and they said it would be ready in 15 minutes. So I show up in 15 minutes and ended up waiting there another 35 minutes. For one salad (not a special order).
While I waited I was asked 3 times by 2 people if I needed seating, I said no and that I was waiting for a to-go order.
On the third time someone asked the man (who was there before I was!) if he was waiting for seating. He said yes and was not very happy that he had been ignored when I wasnt. I dont blame him!
I guess in summary -- mediocre food, pricey for what you get, and terrible service.Listed in: I hunger for EASTLAKE!

Inside bar experience has been "just OK", however the outside deck area experience has always been A+++
I like the myriad of food choices, including vegetarian and healthier options. Beer selection is great and happy hour prices are awesome.
Bonus points for this place because they are on Tippr AND in the Entertainment book. I have never been hassled about using coupons here and they have always given me the full reimbursement amount (but don't forget: Tip your server on the original amount!).
The tiki bar on the deck, during the warm months, is a fun place to hang out around with the frosty mugs o' beer and the music playing. The view of Lake Union is really fantastic.
Parking can be a bit of a pain... the lot is small, so keep an eye out for spots on the street. -

I've only been here for happy hour. The food is average to a little above average. There are dishes that I like but don't blow me away, and then there are dishes that are kind of meh, but I will eat anyway. What makes me go to this happy hour is the price of drinks. Make it a double for $2! There's also a deck overlooking Lake Union, and this is one of the rare happy hours where you can bring your kids. Because there's no sense in getting sloshed if you can't bring the whole family.
One tip - The parking situation gets bad fast, so get there early. -

Pros: decent breakfasts and lunch items. Nice patio, decent service depending on which server you get. Good prices. Haven't had dinner there so can't comment on that. A great full bar and nice to have mimosas with your sunday breakfast.
Cons: Should open earlier on weekdays - us telecommuters would appreciate not having to wait til 11 AM! (Please open earlier...) Service at times can be spotty with one or two of the servers but the others were fine..
Stay away from the so-called "Wedge salad".... they don't use a good blue cheese or roquefort dressing. Instead it's some kind of semi creamy vinegary concoction that totally blows the whole concept and ends up "souring" the rest of the salad especially if you add chicken with it.
(they didn't offer steak). I ended up sending mine back. It was
plain gross. -

The view is to die for, the food is not. I go to Eastlake Bar & Grill to drink and chill on a gorgeous sunny Seattle day. To soak up the rays on their jumbo deck and gaze into Lake Union as the Olympic Mountains pop over our kick ass town.
As for the food and drinks themselves, I am not the biggest fan. Margaritas are made from a store bought mix, which is not how I roll. The menu contains everything including the kitchen sink, so the food is just mediocre. Eastlake B & G serves Mexican, Italian, seafood, steaks, comfort food, burgers, salads, soups, sandwiches and apps. If you're looking for a promo night, they've got it all. Ladies Night, Trivia Night, Tiki Tuesdays, Wino Wednesdays, Fiesta Fridays, Steak Night, Salmon Night and of course a early and late Happy Hour every night.
There is just too much going on. Let's shave down the menu, squeeze some limes and call it a day.Listed in: My Eastlake

I've been here several times for HH, brunch, and dinner. The food is only "ok" but they can have some good drink specials and really, you can't beat the view, which is the best reason to come. So if you want a beer on the deck (and are willing to fight for a seat) on a nice summer day this is a great place. If you want a beer and some super amazing bar food to go with it, keep looking.
Wait times can be rough for the patio on sunny days and/or weekends, but they also open a 'Tiki Bar' area on the deck in the summer which is open seating. If you don't get a spot on the deck, the views are still great from the inside windows as well. -

Eastlake Bar and Grill is a typical neighborhood restaurant like all the other ___Bar and Grill's. They all have good happy hour though! I've come here after lame parties on Friday and Saturday nights before for happy hour as well and I always give points to excellent happy hour times!
Their japalepeno mac and cheese is delish (just saw they make it with chicken now though so I guess that's out.) I also enjoy their blackened salmon burger, soups, salads and marionberry pie and flourless chocolate cake. They serve cocktails for under $5 too!
I would have given this place 4 stars, but I saw they've changed their menu and I'm not as fond of it as before, hence 3 stars. Nonetheless, this is a great deal for happy hour! -

What a great spot! Especially on a day where you can sit outside on their huge patio over looking Lake Union/Gas Works Park. They have a wide variety of food on the menu which is nice, something for everyone - even on the late night HH menu. I was impressed! A lot of cocktail options and great selection of food. Service was up to par, which is important to me. So i'll be back :)

My family and I visit Eastlake Bar and Grill on a semi-frequent basis. The dining experience is usually good to great, providing tasty food and a cheerful staff.
Not so much last night.
My husband and I stopped by at 9:40 pm for drinks and a late dinner. After ordering drinks, we decided on the recommendation of the waiter, to wait 20 minutes until happy hour meals started up at 10 pm. That might have been a mistake.
We waited until 10:18 before the waiter returned to take our orders and only after I threw myself at one of the waitresses. My husband ordered a Caesar and cheeseburger. I order the chopped salad without turkey. Ten minutes later the food showed up. The burger was passable (wilted lettuce, pretty dry), the Caesar didn't taste like a Caesar at all. In their defense, the only restaurant around that makes a good Caesar is the Metropolitan Grill. Anchovies seem to have disappeared entirely from the recipe everywhere else. Even the 13 Coins quit making a real Caesar. My salad was "ok". After eating a little less than half, I stopped and pulled a long hair out of my mouth that was definitely not mine. The waiter stopped by ten minutes later to ask how things were going. I let him know about the hair and he whisked the plate away. The hair was bad enough but my gripe is really with the lack of service and bland food served up. (The IPA was wonderful.) I was still hungry and wanted to order something else but it was like pulling teeth to get a waiter. We gave up and flagged a waitress down at 11:00 and asked for the bill.
Perhaps they were shy a wait person, or maybe they had way more customers show up than normally. This doesn't explain the bland food. I probably won't be back for a while. Eastlake is getting some great restaurants, Ravish being my favorite, and we're not limited to Eastlake B&G so why eat there if we're not getting good service. -

I come here quite often. The reason is the outdoor deck for sunny days and the happy hour. Other than that, their dinner is very meh.
They have one of the best patios on Lake Union. 5 star view and atmosphere. They also have great drinks, 5 stars on those too. The bartenders know how to pour. The happy hour has both food and drink specials and is twice a day (3-6 and 9-close), which is pretty awesome.
The food is where they could use some changes. The menu features typical american chain restaurant selections with atypical (higher) prices. -

Nothing too out of the ordinary but it does have a wonderful view off the deck or rooftop. Looking out over the water at happy hour enjoying some delicious cocktails and watching the sunset was great. The salmon burgers that my friends orders looked very, very good as too.

My first visit was just fine and was served by a new waitress. She was very nice.
This place is spacious and has a gorgeous view of lake union.
Dinner menu option is fairly limited. The food was good but portion was fairly small!
Happy hour is from 3-6pm and 9pm til closing.
They dont accept separate checks for parties of 5 and more to avoid waitressing hassles. That came to me as a shock.
They have specials on a regular basis and monday trivia night and Wednesday $5 for steak and fries, I think.
I would come back again but most likely during happy hour! -

There wasn't anything that particularly stood out to me. I came here with a couple friends for happy hour - we had to wait like 20 minutes for a table, and the service was just reasonable. The food and wine was fine, but the waterfront patio on a beautiful day was probably the most attractive part.

Why I continue to come here is beyond me. Maybe it's the $5 steaks on Wednesdays. Or the $15 3-course meal. Or the darn Groupon deals I see practically every other month. No more. I'm putting my foot down.
Let's start out with the ribeye. 9 oz. thinly sliced cheap slab of meat. The 12 oz New York strip was worse. It's tough. It's flavorless. It's bloody awful. Both are about $17 each.
The only thing that I might return for is the happy hour. Everything else would be a complete waste of money. -

This place is great on Wednesday! $5 steak and fries. You can't beat that.
Our waitress was great. She immediately asked if we wanted to split our check without having to ask. I think that is great! Gratuity included of course ;)
Our food and drinks came out quick. She checked on us, filled our waters, and cleared our plates without being asked.
I work in customer service and have been a waitress before and so I was very impress with the service.
I don't know about the actual food but the specials are great!Listed in: Best Happy Hour

This is my favortie out of all the Neighborhood Grills, here's why:
The location is pretty awesome. There are bars galore, one upstairs, one downstairs on the patio and one inside.
It's not to hard to find parking, they have a small lot and there is plenty of street/hill parking.
The views of Lake Union and and downtown Seattle are pretty amazing - especially on a sunny day!
Service has been consistently great, and the food is tasty!
A summetime must! -

Average food, but good location. That pretty much sums up this place. Procrastinating had left me with a use it or lose it situation as I had a Groupon that was expiring. So I headed over to Eastlake to give this place a shot.
The spot on Eastlake is prime. It is very close to the University District and has a great view of Lake Union. It was rainy when I was there, but on a sunny day this place must be a heavenly place to be.
Ate in the bar area which is quite comfy and sizable. With $25 bucks to spend, I was left with a good amount of options to choose to hit my allotment. Lunch menu is pretty reasonably priced and they have a few drink specials. Seems like even a better deal when there is a UW game which coincidentally there was.
My meal started off with the house bloody mary ($4.50) followed by an order of Buffalo wings ($9.99) and the fish and chips ($11.99). The bloody mary was okay. It is a bit on the spicy side, but alright. First time trying this drink out and came to the conclusion it was not for me.
As for the food, the orders are pretty substantial. Pretty sure the next table over was giving me a stare for the massive order I got. Both items were okay. Not amazing, but tasty and filling. Typical bar grub. It will not blow you away with the taste, but really that is not what you come here for. The ambiance is really why.
It is a comfortable neighborhood spot that is great for group gatherings, where food is a bit of an afterthought, but service is good. Good times to be had and the service being the key reasons to give Eastlake a shot.Listed in: The Daily Double
