McMenamins Six Arms

The bar's oddities and mystical-themed interior are incredibly cool, and the cocktails are both creative and intriguing. The service was friendly, but the understaffing led to long waits, and the food, while decent, was disappointingly basic for the high price. Overall the ambiance and drinks are the main draw, but the experience could be improved with additional staff and better execution of the food.

We stumbled upon this place walking around Seattle and enjoyed the drinks and food. The ambiance is very cool, staff was friendly. We tried the cider and beer flights. Their happy hour is a option worth visiting.

Roaming around Seattle, we found this to be a fabulous spot to stop for a drink. The outdoor seating was ideal for the sunny day we had, and our server Ben was a pleasure. This bar has so much personality and charm it was hard to take it all in with one trip. There is a lot going on at this location and parking wasn’t the easiest to find, but it was worth it!

A bit disappointed overall with the prize and the service. First off, the dungeon burger with Cajun totes was really good. But the one-pound chicken wings look sad for the $24 price. We also had to wait for about half an hour for food on a Saturday afternoon. I was so hungry that I started eating ketchup on the table. My experience at other mcmenamins were better, maybe it’s the capital hill vibe.

When I first walked in, I was greeted by the one I call “Lucky.” He didn’t have much to say, but he knows what the people want. Cool music and nice, funny, attentive people in here. I love the classic bar feels this place gives. It reminds me of bars back home. They were playing some popular rock music from the 90s/2000’s…..always a plus. They have a tap lined with 14 different beers. I tried two from their IPA selection and both were pretty good. They have a list of specialty cocktails, as well. I ordered the Bacon Swiss Burger (the name escapes me) medium rare. It was closer to medium (it was medium) but still tasty. The bun had a great little crisp to it, which I was a fan of. Overall, this seems like a fun nighttime spot while you’re out hopping. I would bring a date or friends here so give it a shot if you’re around and looking for a fun vibe.

The food was a nice temperature. Thats really all I can say about this place. The menu item I ordered boasted a half pound of chicken tenders, which consisted of three average sized tenders. For the price of the meal the portions were abysmal. The tuna melt was something I could make at home. And the waitress was just okay. Nothing really stood out. Better to spend your money at the Starbucks Reserve across the street or one of the other authentic cuisines in the area.

Avoid this place if you are looking to satiate immediate hunger. This was my first meal of the day and second time eating here. Previous visit I had sliders and Cajun tots with a ruby beer. I can tell there is someone different in the kitchen because the portion of tots I had with my burger along with the amount of seasoning was significantly less than the first time. That said, I ordered the dungeon burger instead of sliders this time and despite the server asking me how I wanted it (medium), I got a well done burger. I finished half because I was hungry and needed to eat. Additional to that there was a split hair in my sauce. I disregarded it because as a gay man my mouth has known hair if you catch my drift. I won't be back in the future though despite loving the ambiance due to the fact that I can see that turnover is high for management here and it shows in their attention to service and cleanliness. They didn't start clearing tables until they noticed me reviewing. Definitely NOT worth the price! PS-- I made mention to the server that my sauce had hair in it and that my burger was well done. He "remedied" it by mentioning in the most haughty/curt tone that my beer was on the house. I told him it was okay because I didn’t feel like contesting anything and just wanted to get home. I left the money and exited. I do hope they get better thought because this is a pretty dope place in terms on of the ambiance.

Starbucks reserve had a line out the door so we came here. The food was amazing. The steak sandwich was so good and hand cut fries with organic ketchup from Oregon made it even better. We got the tacos which were incredible. Come here now.
