Hatback Bar & Grille - Restaurant in Seattle - 1201 1st Ave S, USA

Great location just outside the stadium. The food is well presented and the plating is elevated, however they seem to miss the mark on taste. I got the impression that they mask average food with elegance to justify charging stadium prices. The beer was pricey as well and was nothing special.

I reached out on July 25th and August 2nd and received no follow-up or response. Today is August 6th. VERY DISAPPOINTING! I couldn't have been more disappointed if I tried, and I regret sending my friends here to meet me before a game. While the space is exceedingly suitable in size, they lack in service. A group member of mine ordered two drinks and a water only to be charged $200 in drink tickets. My friend only realized the mistake once a bunch of tickets was handed over, and despite the protest, they were only provided a partial refund of $120 when I complained to the front and started taking pictures of the location. Furthermore, they did not allow me to come in with my Seattle Dog, which is an affront to baseball and drinking culture. Oh, they didn't even have the seltzers posted on their boards. I ADVISE ALL to find another place to meet before a game. Save yourself from poor and inaccurate service. Oh, they also closed the space down at 7:15 pm. I couldn't have enjoyed this place less. For reference, this occurred on 7/18/2023.

First time here since it changed from the Pyramid, and the new restaurant is STELLAR. The hostess was kind and informative when I called about parking. The servers and back of the house handled our large table of coming and going guests, very well. I ordered a burger and chips this time and I took bites of friends’ leftovers and all were great. The decor was so modern, yet rustic and inviting. Can’t wait to return and try more food and cocktails from their menu. This will be our new gathering place.

A great sports bar just across the stadiums T-Mobile Park and Lumen Field. It has an open kitchen for the restaurant. Had dinner here for a belated birthday celebration. We were surprised that the chef came out to clarify and accomodate our request for food preparation. He was able to make a dish gluten free without compromising the taste of the food. All the food we ordered was delicious and price of food was reasonable. There is a Steelhead Alley area that is worth checking out for baseball or sports fanatics.

This was a great spot to go to before the baseball game! It was packed by 11 with long wait times so definitely reserve a table or get there early. Our server was really attentive and friendly, food was good! I had the Crispy Chicken Sandwich and it had 2 big patties on it, so definitely a lot of food! My husband got the Chipotle Chicken Nachos

We were in the Steelhead Alley side. Great space for before a game but over priced and not quite worth it. It's counter service and you have to collect your own things and trash. No one is wiping down tables , the bartenders touch the straws where you drink but don't wash their hands after touching their hair. There are waitstaff that don't actually wait on tables they hang around at the bar to ring up your food. The flavors of the food were good but don't expect hot food. For it being a bar there's no water station or tap, it's $3 bottled water only which seems against state liquor where you're supposed to give water with alcohol. Expect club sized cocktails (6 oz single and about $14) It was pretty easy to find a seat in SeelheadAlley when the restaurant was 1+ hour wait for a table so that's a plus. Would recommend for beer garden purposes only. $8 beers and decent outside standing space.

Great spot to watch sports or go to before a game or concert. Clean, open feel. Friendly staff. Good atmosphere. All the food and drink is tasty and well portioned. My only complaint is the prices…definitely over priced. I’m sure they can get away with it around here due to demand, but it’s a bummer and definitely deters me from buying food. I also have yet to see a happy hour menu. Large tvs for viewing, ample seating for a variety of parties, and even outdoor space. Separate, large space if you have an event is great to use. Parking lot and some street parking surrounding the restaurant. Overall happy with this new space and will continue going, but would love to see a cheaper menu (or at least some less pricey options).

Hatback is the new bar that took over for Pyramid brewing across from the stadiums. They've changed the inside around, it's still got a good amount of seating inside with tables all over. They have a smaller sized menu of food and their drink menu is about average. Prices here are extremely high for the small portions you get. Service isn't the best, probably due to low staffing. It took close to 25 minutes for just one round of drinks and closer to 45 minutes for one appetizer. The decor inside is really cool, though. Overall probably will go to one of the many other bars down near the stadiums before any games.
