12 reviews for Panini's on Coventry
I wouldn't really argue with any of details of the negative reviews here. This is a meat market in the evening. It's a generic sports bar.
But did any of these people have a sandwich here? Seriously - Fries + coleslaw + fried whatever (turkey, roast beef, egg, etc) = one good sandwich. I love mixed up food and I love Panini's sandwiches. Ignore the crowd, sneak up to an empty spot at the bar and order a sandwich. You won't regret it.
BTW - if anyone knows a place that puts fries and slaw on a sandwich in Seattle, please let me know. I miss these sandwiches.
Mm overstuffed sandwiches. Ever wanted a sandwich on fresh cut bread that is filled with meat, coleslaw, tomatoes, cheese and fries? Then look no further. Quite tasty, although I do wish the coleslaw were a bit more flavorful. Boneless wings are just so-so, they basically taste like mini chicken nuggets coated with wing sauce.
Well, I can't speak too highly of Panini's... When I went with some colleagues, I found that the food was fair, and the beers standard. Service was reasonably brisk.
The decor was very middle of the road, with standard bar accouterments, TVs, blonde wood... Very generic.
If it weren't for the location, I can't imagine it surviving amidst a plethora of more distinct options. If you're in the neighbourhood, and need a beer, knock yourself out. If you're not, don't take the time to drive, for there is certainly something at least as good much nearer to you.
They have the best French fries in the bar food business. I once ordered them and then ran off to talk to someone else in the bar and almost cried when I realized my fries had been left unattended for 45 minutes. Best fries ever.
Beer, food, service, atmosphere: generic, generic, generic, generic.
Nothing about Panini's is bad... but nothing's really all that great either. The only saving grace is the patio on a nice summer's day.
Also, Pistol's right... Post 9 pm it's a total post-undergrad skeeve-fest.
Here's an idea! Let's get rid of ALL the independently owned, original, and quirky businesses that used to make Coventry Road a destination. Then we can replace them with bars that are an exact blueprint of the one before it- each vying for the coveted title of bar-with-the-most/biggest-television-sets or
bar-with-800-canned/frozen-sauces-to-put-on-a-chic ken-wing.
Out! Out! Out! Next: a Walgreen's.
went back to panini's recently after a multi-year hiatus due to moving out of state. i was never that wild about it, unless it was 2:00 a.m., i was wasted, and had a hankering to get some eggs.
i have to say, though, the panini sandwich has saved my life. if you've never had it, imagine a big sandwich - turkey, ham, corned beef, egg, whatever - with a side of coleslaw and french fries ALL ON THE SANDWICH. it sounds nasty, but it's pretty damn good after 12 or 14 beers and has, on occasion, been the only thing that could stop the world from spinning.
not a spot i ever really just hung out in all night, but, when it came to coventry, was a nice alternative to the lizard.
It's a sports bar that caters to the college and graduate student crowd. Does anything more really need to be said about it? For some people, this may be the best bar ever. Me? I'm looking for something a bit more original when I can go out. I can yell, watch sports, and drink beer at home. Okay, I don't own a TV, nor do I have any beer in my fridge, but I can still yell!
Panini's is not supposed to be some posh hipster place, it is a sportsbar. As a sportsbar, these are the things I look for: giant TVs, cleanliness, lots of dark wood, a jukebox with current hits and tons of sing along classics for when there are no sports events going on, cheap pitchers of beer, and greasy yet yummy bar food to cure and/or prevent hangovers. Panini's succeeds in all of these areas, thus the 4 stars. There is even a TV in the girls bathroom for when you are waiting in line - sheer genius. Plus, if you become a regular, the owner and staff will treat you with respect....i.e. they will remember you and serve you first when it is crowded! This place was my law school version of cheers, and there is nothing better than a panini sandwich stuffed full of delicious fries and cheesy goodness when you are drunk on cheap beer.
Panini's offers pretty tasty food and a sports bar like atmosphere. There are some 6 plasma televisions surrounding the bar island, which has a good selection of alcohol. The place definitely doesn't feel original and is a little sterile for a cozy bar/tavern type of feel, but they will have your typical bar food. Be aware that they do not have desserts.
Panini's isn't a bad place. The service is decent and the food comes out hot. I would say go early to avoid the huge crowd. Also stay away on nights when there are big games because its just too packed. As another reviewer said there are a lot of undergrads there on the weekend. Overall nice though.
Service is good, beers on tap are okay, food is really pretty awful. I like the idea of the nice outdoor patio on Coventry but beyond that there is no reason to go here!
