Admiral Pub

Great poker nights. Heading over tonight for a game. Very friendly staff!

My new favorite place! The food is great, the darts are fun, the projector screen is gigantic. Tons of fun during NFL games and the staff are all friendly and very helpful. Try the jello shots! They are perfect.

For a dive bar this place is pretty great! ESPECIALLY FOR SEAHAWKS GAMES!
There are two pool tables at the very back, $ 1.00 or 0.75 a game. There are also ski ball and dart machines. There is a photo booth/​electronic jukebox thing and an ATM available.
The drinks are STIFF. I don’t know how many times I’ve had to stop at two white russians.
The food is traditional pub food, but isn’t bad at all. The popcorn chicken, fried mac and cheese, baked potato, and sweet potato fries are all delicious. Oh that’s right, baked potato isn’t a normal bar meal… anyways, it was delicious!
The bartenders are usually pretty nice and attentive if you’re at the bar. I wouldn’t recommend this bar if you want waiter service at your booth/​table.
Seahawks games are absolutely fun here! They have drink specials and have decorations for the games! GO SEAHAWKS!
This is a great place to play some pool and grab some drinks after work.
Pub crawl in West Seattle? hit this place up.

this place is terrible. I saw a customer ask for a drink and they poored about a half a shot of booze in the glass and the customer refused to pay for the week drink and the owner kicked him out for life. So if you dont accept thier week drinks you are 86d. Feel sorry for the guy. Not good for bussiness. They should not bite the hand that feeds them. probably go out of bussiness soon. Me and all my friends will not go there again ever till they get new owners.

I have frequented this place in the past at night and decided to stop by on a random Sunday afternoon to watch some soccer on their big screens with a couple friends. Let’s just say I will not be returning anytime soon during the day.
There were a couple drunk patrons for a Sunday at 12:00. Yes, 12:00pm! Trust me I am not a prude. I like to drink & have a really great time! These patron’s had their children with them and were being so loud and obnoxious that me in my 20’s was saying WTF?! As we were planning on drinking a couple we figured the booze would help the tolerance factor and decided to stick around. Bad choice… soon after arriving and sitting at the tables with waiter service we were not greeted or acknowledged for over 10 minutes. The waitress was too busy mingling with bartenders & patrons that I decided to get up & get our own menus. I know this is a bar… but with as few people as there was & with waiter service you would think a «hello» or «I’ll be right with you» would be said. NOPE! Another 10 minutes or so came & went so I wen’t up to the bar & placed our food & drink orders. That alone took what felt like a lifetime, probably cause I was already irritated by the bad service. There was no line and bartender decided to mingle with the waitress discussing children drink cup sizes and stock the bar before popping the cap and handing me our drinks. Soon after placing our order the waitress finally came over and greeted us bringing our condiments & napkins for our food orders. I will give it to her that she was prompt in returning with our next drink order.
We ordered Beef Pub Tacos & Fry Basket. The food presentation was decent but the food was god awful terrible! The Pub Tacos tasted like dirt! I am pretty sure the fresh ingredients on our tacos were never washed & prepped properly (cabbage etc.) The beef was flavorless and had a hard crust on the majority of it as though it was reheated leftovers or had been sitting for a while. The fries were stale & not seasoned. Down right terrible! The two guys I was with are normally garbage disposals of anything edible and they turned down the food.
This place has great potential! Darts, Skee Ball, Pool, and Poker Tourneys everything that would make the perfect local watering hole even better… unfortunately the day time service & the food has pretty much ruined it for me and I am not sure if I will be returning in the later hours due to this experience and that saddens me. Thankfully I have many great memories of this place prior to my most recent experience.

I’m really bummed by this place. It was a neighborhood joint where the tvs sucked but the food was good and the pour was stiff and the staff knew your name. (Previously would have received a 4star rating.) Now the tvs are awesome, but the food sucks, we get measured pours and the bar manager only looks up from his phone long enough to look you up and down and ask what you want without smiling. If I wanted to be around grouchy people and a great tv, I would have just stayed home.

This place used to be one of the better places to go play some pool, have something tasty to eat, drink a few beers. Gotta say, it could use some up grading.
The food was barely eatable, we did not enjoy our exchange with the cook — he appeared to be under the influence of something and gave off a creepy vibe. Our bartender/​waitress was very pleasant. We will not be going back, will not recommend to others.

This place smells so bad, the clientele seemed friendly but way over served. With the lack of costumers I could see the bartender never wanting to cut someone off, just to have bodies in the building. I love sports but this is not the place id want to watch the game. I don’t think I could handle the smell for that long.

Beware! The owner of this establishment (also owner of Light House) has stolen out of my pocket! He signed a contract for services and did not pay! No honor, no integrity, no business being in business. Support other local establishment that are not crooks.

Gross, gross and gross. Smells terrible, looks like it hasn’t made it out of the 70’s, tiny tv’s so not worth watching sports and enjoying a brew even. If the environment wasn’t so nasty, I would definitely recommend people watching here… pretty entertaining!

We’ve been frequenting the Admiral Pub for a couple of months now and the staff has earned a fifth star. This is THE place for watching Seahawks football or any other time you want a great meal. There are plenty of seating areas so you can keep to yourself or mingle with other NOAD locals (NOAD is for North Admiral — it’s going to be a thing).

First (and most importantly, in my opinion): THEY DO NOT HAVE BIG BUCK HUNTER!!! Maybe they did, once upon a time, but I was terribly disappointed when I visited Admiral Pub after reading other reviews and hoping that I’d found the ONLY place in West Seattle with BBH. Nope. They have pool tables and a new-​ish electro-​jukebox, and I think they had Golden Tee in the back. But no Big Buck Hunter or any variation of it. Boo hoo.
Oh yeah, I had a drink and the fish & chips while I was there. The drink was fine for a simple whiskey & diet Coke, and the fish & chips were pretty unsatisfying. They took way too long despite the place being mostly empty, and all of the food was a previously-​frozen, soggy and tasteless pile of deep-​fried ‘blah.’ The people playing pool looked like they were having fun, I guess.
Just bring back Big Buck Hunter, and all will be forgiven. I promise. Please?

Love this place. The drinks are good and the atmosphere is fun. The only thing I didn’t like was that one of the bartenders was being very persistent in hitting on my sister. She told him that she wasn’t interested and knows he has a GF, but he denied it. That is just kind of scummy and rude.

Just recently moved back to West Seattle and was pleasantly surprised by the Admiral Pub. Some friends who were new in town were hungry and the pub was the first thing we came across on our quest for lunch within walking distance from my place. What I’d long thought to be a dive bar is actually bright, clean and modern inside, with pool tables, arcade games, and a huge selection of food and drinks. We sampled from their happy hour menu, and really liked the food, even though it left a grease bomb in our bellies :) But hey, $ 30 for beers and apps for three ain’t too shabby! I also noticed that during NFL season they offer a free buffet on gameday Sundays with the ourchase of a drink. BOOM.
Plus they have SkeeBall, which earns any place an extra star in my book.
Will definitely be frequenting this little gem. Can’t wait to come back!

It was a groupon that my friend’s girlfriend impulsively bought that brought us to west Seattle on a Friday night. It was the first Friday in January of 2012, 2 out of 3 of us were still in our little «sober new years» bout (which in fact ended the next day for me). So my less then amazing review may of been triggered by the fact that we were at a pub and not drinking. The place was cool! Lots of pool tables, photo hunt, big buck hunt and other games. The bar tender was both attentive and friendly. He even went to the pubs office downstairs to print my friend’s groupon so we could use it. I can’t really comment on the drinks because I didn’t have any. My friend ordered a dark and stormy and said it was good.
The food was very, very bad. I don’t want to say disgusting because that sound so harsh.. . but it was bad! I was excited about the happy hour appetizer menu. It was a Friday night (it think around 10pm) and they were offering extremely good prices on their appetizers. The menu seemed creative too. There were nachos made out of potato chips, this idea excited me. We got the cheesey garlic bread, which reminded me of something I used to prepare in the wee hours of the night in my college dorm after an evening of drinking natural ice beer. It was okay. We also ordered the potato chip nachos that I was excited about as well as popcorn chicken. I’m not going to go into much detail about the two later mentioned items…all I’m going to say is that the chicken was uncooked (yes, pink and fleshy) and there was a hair in the nachos.
I don’t know if it was because of this experience or because I’m an alcoholic, but the next day my 6 days of 2012 sobriety ended. Like I said before, the pub itself was cool. Lots of games and sitting space. The bar tender was exceptional. And I’m sure my experience was an anomaly (perhaps I was hallucinating after 6 days of not drinking)
I would probably go back, just to play photo hunt.

The pub is located on California, past Admiral, and is pretty dive-​ish. They have a few pool tables, a jukebox, a bar, and a few tables for you to grab some munchies. They also have pool tabs for those who wanna try their luck.
I’ve been here a few times and it seemed more clean my last visit. Furthermore, it is über cheap grub: They have like $ 2 hot dogs that are loaded with goodies and are fairly large, and their happy hour menu is really good. Steak bites are $ 5 and they come on a wood burner and you cook them to your liking! Pretty gourmet for the cost I’d say!
Lastly, there are a couple perks to the location of the pub: Heartland Café is right down the street for late night breakfast if you’d like, or Shipwreck Tavern most likely has live music jamming out too… All in all I would say Admiral is a great place in WS!

Been here twice. First time, I was with my hubby and Thrill k. We had the huge plate of nachos, they had a pitcher or two of beer and played some pool. I think we were here during a week day so it wasn’t to terribly packed and the service was *awesome*.
Advance a year later. Service was still awesome. Pool cheap and cool. Better selection of music on a gianormus iPod looking thing. But the nachos… SHITTY!!! I could have made better nachos while stoned on Perkacet after my C-​section…

Admiral Pub is as solid a bar as you’ll get. I usually stop in here when I’m meeting up with a buddy of mine who lives in the Admiral area. It always ends the same way… I’m filled with too much cold beer, delicious greasy food and a 2^nd place finish at Big Buck Hunter.
It’s fairly big with plenty of options depending on who you’re hanging out with. Up front there’s tables for dining. Kids are allowed up in this area. There are darts, pool tables and plenty of TVs. Pub classics like Big Buck Hunter and Golden Tee are in the back. Lots of selections and options on the menu. Mostly pub grub type stuff but they do offer some home cookin’ meals. They updated things not too long ago so it’s nicer and cleaner then similar spots near by. Parking can be a challenge at times in the neighborhood, but there’s always a spot if you don’t mind a block or two walk.

Friendly gal behind the bar…(her name escapes me though…)
Decent selection of local and big brand brews.
And a pretty tasty selection of happy-​hour food!
AND…and… you can’t go wrong with pull tabs! :-D
Tip though, their happy hour deals are only on food, not on beverages…
which just means you can enjoy your beer in peace knowing you’re not rushed to get one before happy-​hour ends.
And seriously… who doesn’t like bar-​food?

After taking my parents all over Seattle to see different views of downtown it was time for a break. My mother had hinted about ‘pull tabs’ knowing that you can play them in restaurants/​bars in WA. I decided to take them to one of my favorite places, the Admiral Pub. So besides tasty fried mac ‘n cheese the Admiral Pub also has pull tabs people!
We grab a seat at the window so my pops could watch what ever sports was on one of the many TVs placed through out the pub. I purchase pull tabs for my mom, the first $ 20.00 are duds but she’s not done. I decided to play with her so I get two more $ 20.00 baskets and woo hoo I won $ 205.00 unfortunately mom won nothing. We had some ice teas (my parents don’t drink, I wonder where I get it from) and some chips and salsa before taking them to the airport for them to head home.
Oh and for those to like to play poker on Tuesday nights they now have poker night starting at 6 or 7 but you need to sign up early because apparently it fills up quick.
