Wow! Just WOW! What a great find! From the outside it looks a little sketchy, we drove by it at least 100 times, I kept telling my wife "we need to check that place out." I love dive bars (the divier the better), the wife not so much. While Googling "best French Onion Soup" in Spokane, Raido Bar popped up... That was enough to get the wife to agree to check it out. Again Wow! To start out we went on a Wednesday afternoon (Don't judge) we got there at 3:45pm then realized that they didn't open until 4pm, no problem, we had 15 minutes to enjoy each other's company. Well at 3:50, cars started showing up. The By 4pm the lot was half full, at which point we hopped out and hustled in to beat the crowd and get a good seat. We sat at the bar (we always, do it's our thing, drinks and a show). We Let's say the wife was very happy with the Radio Bar! The only dive here is the outside! The interior is modern, clean nicely lit and inviting. The staff was awesome! The drinks phenomenal! The bartender is incredible massively talented, a true master of his craft and a really nice guy. The staff was very attentive, helpful, friendly and easy to work with. All that and we haven't even got to the food yet! The food was impeccable. Everything we ate was literally the best we've had in Spokane! Like I said WOW! The artichoke dip off the chart, not overwhelming, soft flavor subtle hints of herbs & spices, the perfect mix of salt and spice with a hint of Italy. The Peta wedges that are served with it were not too soft or too hard, perfectly right in the middle flavorful but not overwhelming complimenting the artichoke dip perfectly! The French Onion Soup was the best we've had in Spokane by far! The one drawback, the French Onion Soup must have been 500°F it is served Hot 🔥 so we had to wait like kids on Christmas morning. There it sat calling us with all it's yummy goodness, let's just say it was hard to sit there in front of such deliciousness, we kept testing & testing and then finally heaven in a bowl 🥣! Then we had the belltown chop. Hands down the best salad I have in a long time as well as in Spokane! Perfect mix of spices, vegetables, vinegar & oil, it was heavenly! It is a large salad and the misses and I shared it. There was plenty for us!! The entire meal was perfect and I haven't even gotten to the drinks. The bartender (Matt I believe), was a true artist and professional!! The misses said oooh they have Grapefruit vodka and asked Matt if he could make her a drink with it and boom out of the blue he threw a little bit of this & a little bit of that and a heavenly libation sat before us perfectly complimenting the appetizers and meal. The Fairplay was a vodka based libation with the perfect blend of lemon, soda water & seasonal pomegranate shrub was phenomenal! They have an excellent selection of PNW beers and liquors as well as imported ones. Their tinctures and bitters appeared to be small batch hand crafted and local. From start to finish we had an unexpected but absolutely perfect & yummy evening. Just my opinion, but you can't go wrong with the Radio bar! Can't wait to go back! I think we just found our...
Read moreFinally made it down to Radio Bar Spokane on a quiet Sunday afternoon. Walked in and was immediately greeted and seated. I had actually been to the previous business (Brandywine) many times in the past so I was familiar with the location, and I was impressed with the aesthetic changes. Nice tables and chair with a great patio area. Menu has a good assortment and they were also running buffalo wings and cauliflower wings. We got both and they were both tasty. We tried the pretzel, artichoke dip, olives, for snakes and then shared the Tinga tacos, and meatballs. Both were very tasty. We tried a special Negroni, couple beers, some bubbles, and the zero proof Pina Colada all really well made, served quickly! Service was topnotch and we had a really good time. We live in the NW area of Spokane so it is nice to have a quality option. ...
Read moreOne of my new favorite places in Spokane. Trendy little place on the corner always catches my eye. Inside is a lot more spacious than it looks! The window seating was a fun spot to play a game, enjoy great food and delicious drinks. It's a very clean bar. I loved the way they have an inviting bottle of water and glasses at every spot. There's even a spacious patio area I can't wait to try when it warms up! The meatballs were fantastic as reviews say and the special gumbo was equally full of flavor and different for every day local bar food. The cocktails were undoubtedly good as they looked! I was shook that the jalapeño margarita cocktail they had was as spicy as it was, but overjoyed as it reminded me of being in my home state of Arizona. Highly recommend trying...
