Sam's Tavern

Kicked me out tonight, even though I'd presented ID. The closest they came to having an excuse was that I'd taken a stool that was six feet away from the bar, in order to sit *at* the bar, and couldn't accept that "someone's sitting here" when there wasn't even any room at the bar for the mythical person who was sitting there to put their drink. I offered to sit elsewhere if they'd find me a seat, and I reminded them I was a regular there (2-3 dinners/week for over a year, each with a drink, and with at least $1.50 tip on top of a bill that clearly passes on every penny of Seattle's astronomical wages), but they didn't care. If they don't care about keeping me as a customer, then I don't care about keeping them as a business in my neighborhood.

Was not sure about it due to the low 4 star rating but……..I cannot believe it is not near to 5 stars. Great staff, really friendly and attentive. We ordered beers but saw someone getting the ‘famous’ bloody mary with a burger on top!!! Looked great. We had burgers already ordered - The Jalapeno Reno and the Sams 50. Great tasting, homemade fries. Really good, strongly recommend for burgers, beers, and bloody mary’s!!

This place is great. It’s got a low-key atmosphere with great service and tasty bar food. Perfect if you’re just looking to grab a drink & grub and hangout!

Great service and an awesome outdoor seating area. I only had drinks while here and they were great. The server is what made it 5 stars. You set yourself and plenty of cool seating.
