This business is only 1/3 of a mile from my house so that has a lot to do with why I come here so often. This is my favorite local dive bar. It is EXTREMELY Divey but that is part of its charm. i I use to like it when it was the Saloon, but I like it a lot more now because of the staff and the food.
Let me start by saying that I love gambling in any form. Consequently, I love going to places that offer pull tabs. They have lots of pull tab games here. I have even been lucky enough to win multiple jackpots here.
If you come often, you will see the same people every time (give or take 10%). Besides the pull tabs, I come here regularly really for the amazing food. Bir the owner, used to own the best Indian restaurant in town, and you can buy that food now, here at the Cookhouse. IMHO, now that Justaurant has closed in Bellevue, it is some of the best Indian food in Seattle.Don't get me wrong, this isn't an Indian restaurant. Instead, it is a bar with great food including a few Indian dishes. My favorite food includes the curry chicken, the chicken tikka masala, the hamburgers and the french dip sandwich with fries and ranch.
Prices on alcohol are cheap and they have some really well priced Mon-Fri happy hour specials. I also really appreciate the kind and hardworking staff. They all have a lot of heart and talent, and it shines through every time I come. I have been here at least 20 times since it changed hands and I really...
Read moreI have had a lot of really great breakfast at the Cookhouse restaurant in Woodinville. I have just now started to write reviews for Google. Which I enjoy doing. But anyway, I want everyone to know that the Cookhouse will be closing soon. It's not there choice. It's Because the owner of the building is taking it down, I think to put in a new one. So if you want a really, really great breakfast go there soon before it is too late. I had an omelette with sausage, bacon, ham and cheese. They brought are food to us quickly and the waitress was very nice. Update: they will be closing on July 27th. You still have time to go before they close. Last night I went to the Cookhouse for dinner. I realized that I had breakfast there lots of times, but I had never had dinner there. I have never had Indian food anywhere before. I had the Goa chicken. It has a coconut sauce on it with a big pile of shredded coconut on top. It was so good. I am really glad I tried it before it was too late. But hopefully they will find a new spot for there...
Read moreI've been a regular here for a couple of years, but I won't ever be coming back. I was sexually assaulted at this bar by someone and had a severe panic attack. One of the male bartenders fought to 86 him, and he was 86ed for a short while. I told the bartenders and owner I was uncomfortable with seeing him ever again. He is known at this bar, and he and his wife come in. All of the current female bartenders, besides Rhonda, fought to bring him back into the bar, and he started going again after the owner had promised me I wouldn't have to see him ever again. The man who sexually assaulted me did the same thing to another woman, and they decided to fire the people who had wanted him 86ed forever. This could have been prevented; however, due to the owner's negligence, more females will get assaulted here. I would not recommend going to this place, try a safer bar where they stand...
