Duchess Tavern — Restaurant in Seattle

Tried to meet my friends from high school that I haven't seen I a while. They were able to get a seat and drinks while the "owner" and bartender said we weren't allowed in because the bar was closed... even though the bar advertised that they were open for another hour. Our friends were able to be seated 1 min before us. Extremely rude service, Plus poor management, avoid if you can. Just tried to catch up with some friends but didn't even have the chance to say hi.

Food was great, drinks were poured quickly, and they have plenty of bar games (pool, shuffleboard, pop shot basketball, darts) to keep you busy if you don’t want to just sit somewhere — seating is plentiful though with table sizes to accommodate groups of all sizes.

10/10 would visit again and will if I am back...
