Child Friendly! Madrona Eatery is a better than average pub and restaurant with one oustanding characteristic: child frinedliness. Between 5 and 9 the place is full of families enjoying an evening out. Children are welcome and toys and crayons are in plentiful supply. For those who prefer a quiet place to enjoy the game, I suggest you come in after 7 pm. The selection of ales is adequate, and the burgers are quite good. PROS: child friendly CONS: noisy during mealtime

Kiddy haven by day, neighborhood hangout by night – This bar & grill has anchored the corner of Madrona's retail strip for years, and knows its clientele well. Here you'll find families with kids looking for a low-hassle night out, solo diners catching the hockey game and couples relaxing with an after-work drink. It's kid-friendly to a fault, with a play area and a liberal child-roaming policy, but after 8 you'll find a more grown-up atmosphere with late-night happy hour and weekly trivia. A rotating list of beers and wines... read more

Never expected that....... – There was paper, like a cheese slice with a big piece of wax paper attached, and yes, they didn't make me pay for the cheeseburger.... but that's it? No apology from the manager??

A kid-friendly neighborhood bar with good food. – In Short On most nights, toddlers run underfoot as their parents enjoy a beer and locals warm the bar stools. This corner bar is lined with windows; the booths are best to quaff one of the 15 draft brews while watching passersby. Choices range from a mushroom burger to smoked salmon fettucine. Cheesy pizzas, sandwiches and fresh-cut fries round out the bar food, while pastas and land-and-sea specials are menu mainstays.

Great for Young Children – I enjoy taking my kids here because there's a small play area with toys (near the fireplace so kids do need to be watched carefully) to keep the youngin's busy while the food is prepared. Friendly staff. Things get a bit loud on Friday evenings simply because the place draws a fairly large crowd. Great during the summer because the windows open wide providing lots of air flow. I'd recommend.

Great neighborhood pub – Great pub atmosphere, plus you can bring your kids. It's only open evenings, though, so it's not always convenient. Still, the staff is great and the food is fine. I'd recommend it.

User review by pgcarlson – This place is a neighborhood favorite- excellent location and decent food. What keeps us coming back, though, is the service and atmosphere. The waitstaff and the bartender are terrific Really friendly and welcoming-- and it shows given the diversity of the clientele. Our only complaints: the portions are small, the prices are high for what you get, and they really need to be open on Saturday & Sunday afternoons.
