Great Bar for any occasion – i originally stayed away from this bar because of its fri and sat nights, but i was missing out. This is a great neighborhood hang every other day of the week. It has pool, pizza, photo booth, fire pit. The staff is always nice and the drinks are great. Come check it out!
Angry bartender – We went in there on July the 3rd during the zombie walk. We were dressed as zombies but besides that we acted normal. The bartender ignored us and told his waitress that the punching period of the night was about to start. One of the customers jokingly asked him where his zombie spirit was and he said that it was the fact that he had to work more that upset him. We left after hearing this and went next door where we had a great time.
Business response:
Sorry that you encoutered an agry bartender. That is certainly not the mood that we are trying to foster here. Our current staff is full of friendly bartenders that want to serve you. I hope you can try again and have a better experience than last time!
Best Trivia Night in Town! – The Wednesday night trivia at the Ballroom is by far the best trivia night in town! We have been to many different trivia nights around the city and they don't even come close. Every once and a while we will go try out a new trivia spot and we quickly run back to the Ballroom, nothing else compares! Tommmy is a great host, with an awesome personality who keeps everyone engaged, has great questions each week, keeps the game going at a good pace and the trivia has different facets which keep it int... read more
One of the best spots in Fremont! – I went to The Ballroom with friends a few weekends ago and we had a great experience! Unlike some other places in Fremont and around Seattle, this place actually has enough space to move around and quite a bit of seating to accomodate its guests. It does get busy at night, but not overly-crowded which makes for a good atmosphere. The bartenders were great and all the drinks I had were wonderful! We chose to sit by the firepit, which was a nice spot to warm-up after walking outside in the c... read more
BAD BAD Crowd – I have been going down to Fremont for a couple years now, after I returned from college. The atmosphere in general is amazing and the town is just fun to be in. Until you get to the ballroom. I read on here from 2007 that purses were stolen from people and coats etc, Ill give you one more. I was there with a crowd of like 12 people, we knew what we were getting into when we walked in, crowded bar, loud music and so-so drinks, which was essentially just what we were looking for. What I was not looking for was ... read more
Business response:
Im sorry you had such a bad experience at the ballroom. I have never heard of anyone getting something put in their drinks here. I appologize if you feel that the employees were not attentive enough when you were carried out. People should always feel free to check their purses in coat check if thay can not keep an eye on them. People also should feel free to leave their drinks with a bartender, covered with a coaster if they can not keep an eye on them. We work hard to insure everyones safety as much as we can. We also have... read more
Great Food, Great Service, Great Happy Hour – I have been a regular at the Ballroom since the day it opend. I have seen the Ballroom change and grow and the Ballroom it is today is the BEST!! It is a great place to hang out during the week and early on the weekends. I admit sometimes I like to people watch late night on the weekends. The entire staff at the Ballroom is GREAT! If you go in there once, the next time they remember you! That is a rare find in Seattle. Everyone needs to give the Ballroom a try once!
Business response:
It is great that people can come down during the week and find out how different the Ballroom is from its Friday and Saturday nights. Im glad you enjoy your experience and keep coming in. Come on by and let me know who you are and Ill buy you a drink!
HORRIBLE DRINKS & SERVICE – I am so appalled, all around not a good experience if it weren't for the company I was with! Our waitress at first was very nice and helpful but as soon as she got a couple of tables of guys she was only to be seen flirting with them. Our second round of drinks sat at the bar for five minutes before I got up to get them with our waitress MIA. If you decide to give them a try anyways I recommend sticking with beer as the rest of their drinks are weak, seriously WEAK. The music I swear they kept bum... read more
Business response:
I appologize for both your experience and how long it has taken to respond to your review. We are currently under new management and would love to make it up to you. The waitress in question was spoken to about this event right after it happened. Please be assured that this is not the type of service that we strive for. As for the drinks, it must have been an off night or an off bartender because our usual staff pours drinks pretty healthy. If the loud music is not your scene, I encourage you to come by one of the other 5 da... read more
Always a good time – On weekends, it's a huge scene. Three quarters of the hook ups are initiated by women. Consequently, guys who go around hitting on women are guys that other women don't want. The men who do the best are those who get along well with (and are recognized positively by) other men. The large booths are often taken over early by groups on weekends, sometimes for special occasions. So get there early or reserve a space if you're planning a soiree. Avoid open-toe shoes, large purses and dangling cell phones. On... read more
Business response:
Its great to see that someone can have an objective opinion about our bar. We do our best to help insure that everyone has a safe and happy night. Some of that, of course, is left up to the patrons to make good decisions for themselves. It is always nice to hear that people are coming out during the week and seeing the new side of the Ballroom as well. Come in and introduce yourself sometime and I will be happy to comp you a drink.
Sketchy Crowds – I used to be a big fan of the Ballroom when I was in college but recently I have been dissapointed with the crowd that is taking over. Rather than college kids, it has become a thug bar. On a recent visit my purse was stolen from right next to me. It had my belongings and a friend's inside. At the time of the theft, the staff was less than helpful even though our wallets and keys were taken. The next day, they failed to return my phone calls and when I finally got a hold of them, they left me on hold twice f... read more
