Reviews for McMenamins The Woodshop in Bothell, WA
First time here to watch the Husky game and not a great experience. Staff was okay and food was so so. We ordered the Dungeons... burger and I would recommend the Cajun tots. Do not order from the Libations menu. I had the Harvest Sangria for $14. I mademention that the drink was all ice and no sangria to Jason and he said usually it has more ice so I proceeded to have the drink- it was about <4 ounces of juice with ice. This was not resolved or handled well. I then voiced my concern to Madeline and sheasked what I would like to drink next and just encouraged me to get another drink while paying for both. Did not resolve theproblem drink. The draft list has some standard options and great variety. Did not enjoy our time here based on our experiencefrom the staff. please check out the Lagoon Bar - very good! Read more
Always love the Woodshop, it's quiet during the day, air conditioned if you want to be inside, but lots of outdoor seating too.... Super friendly and attentive staff, food never disappoints. Always get an order of tots, they are crispy, seasoned withsomething addictive, and any leftover makes an excellent snack later. Spinach salad was full of mushrooms, bacon, anddeliciousousness (this is a half order). The local beer and and cider selection is second to none, cocktails are delicious. Read more
Really good burgers and tots at the Tavern; there for a show at Haynes Hall (standing room only mostly). Outdoor space is... awesome, just packed on the weekends so get there early - there's fire pits & heaters too incase it gets chilly. Greatcocktails/ciders at the tavern but cocktails at the "show" are ok (kinda weak). Read more
Atmosphere is fun and inviting! The waitress we had was spectacular. The peachy keen and old fashion drinks were fantastic. We... ordered some apps, the pretzels and scoobie snacks (mini corn dogs), they were good for sharing. However, the burgers all lackedflavor. We ordered three different ones and were not very happy with any of them. The Cajun fries and tots though weredelicious. Overall, the atmosphere and drinks were the best part of the visit. Read more
Really great environment and I can't wait to come back and checkout other restaurants/bars on the property. Our food took a... really long time to come out and when it did, summer of the sauces had a layer over the top as if they had been sitting forquite some time. Our server was fabulous and kind, which was wonderful. Read more
This place is just grand. The food isn't the greatest, but it's reliably good with some variety. Think elevated pub grub. ... Pizzas, Sammies, fish n chips, all good. Don't overlook the soups and the specials. I've been here a number of times, and whena special sounds interesting, I go for that and have been rewarded for that. The drinks are good, and you can do a whiskeyflight if you ask. What keeps me coming back is the space, the vibe, and the wonderful staff. The outdoor space is prettyunique and elevates your experience. The fire pit seating when chilly out is so memorable. You'll want to keep ordering drinksand snacks just to stay put and enjoy it, at least that's what I tend to do. If you've never been here, make a plan to. Walkthe grounds, catch a movie, gi swimming, do a bar-crawl, play shuffleboard, pool, pinball...damn fun place! Read more
3.5 stars for food but 4 stars because of the atmosphere. Food wasn't bad but wasn't great either. Don't judge it yet! This is a... great place to come chill, enjoy the local brews (Hammerhead pale ale was really good...crisp, grapefruit rind taste), comfortfood and find a great place to relax. Cajun Tater Tots were a good starter. Crispy with a little spice to them. Ordered theTropical Storm personal pizza. Crust was crispy on the outside but soggy in the middle. Not a lot of flavor given theingredients. Read previous reviews about service being slow. Agree it was slow but that could just be because of covid and thelack of workers. My first time here and will give then another go to see if my review changes. Prices are more than reasonabletoo! Read more
I ate during happy hour and they have great food at great prices! The pulled pork sliders were so smoky in flavor, it was GREAT!... Their Cajun spiced tots were pretty awesome too! And many beers on tap! Read more
