LTD Bar & Grill

Best Jalapeño poppers ever! Made with care and natural ingredients! Fresh bacon, fresh jalapeños and delicious cream cheese.
Service is great. Prices are really good.

This bar is always super quiet when I’m around. If you want a chill bar in the area, this is probably it. I like the option to play shuffleboard (or the different board games).
The door staff are always friendly but the bartenders are always really rude. The last time I was here no one could get service b/​c the bartender wouldn’t stop talking to her friends.

There are three things I like about this bar:
1. Shuffleboard
2. Outdoor drinking area
3. Jukebox
I am a huge fan of shuffleboard and not a lot of bars in Seattle have them, so I come for the shuffleboard alone! The drinks and food are completely average; typical sports bar.

Fun little neighborhood bar. Plenty of TVs, friendly bartenders and fun atmosphere. Great place to catch a game or hang out with friends for some drinks. Gets pretty packed on Friday/​Saturday nights but still a fun place for a low key evening.

Just moved to the neighborhood and came here with a group of friends to watch the Seahawks game — tons (!!) of TVs. The bar was definitely full but not quite as packed as I thought it would be which was great! Overall I really liked this place and I anticipate spending many more drinking hours here. I’m pretty sure the staff included one bartender, one server, and one drink runner; surprisingly though given the packed house the service was still good! A friend had the breakfast burrito (huge and reportedly good) and I had the nachos which definitely hit the spot; super tasty! They also have shuffleboard and tabletop board games for when a sporting game isn’t on TV. Can’t wait for the summer when they open up the big doors and patio area!

Not a bad place to catch a Seahawks win on Sundays, but come early (hour before kickoff?) or you will find yourself hovering awkwardly by tables.
Servers are hard-​pressed to keep up with the constant demands for a small variety of local and standard beers. It may be a better idea to send a runner to the bar and bring back drinks rather than wait for harried staff to find you. Not many drink specials.
TVs are everywhere, so no matter where you find yourself, there’s one with the right game nearby. They have local and non-​locals games, and the TVs are high quality ones that you would expect in a sports bar.
Clean bathrooms, even on game day.
Parking is hit or miss on weekends. There;‘s a nearby pay lot, but its worth cicrcling a bit for free parking.
Good for small grounds, but probably not a great idea to test the place with a group bigger than 6.
Will return if in the area.

C’monnnn Man! This place has so much potential, and even though we had a great night, there wasn’t too much I could attribute to LTD.
By the time we came in on a Wednesday Night we were ready to have a good time. That energy was slowed down by the bartenders taking there sweet time. There were two of them serving us, seeming impatient but not sure how to readily serve our group.
Shuffleboard was a doozy and this added value to a much needed dismal time. The beers were ok and the service not so much. This place seemed to teeter totter on a good and bad experience throughout the night.

I’ve had two experiences here involving IDs that frustrate me:
Yesterday afternoon I arrived with my temporary ID (DMV issued — able to work everywhere else) and was told it would only work if I had the hard copy to back it up. Hard copy? Isn’t that the point of a temporary? I don’t have my actual license. After that, I was asked to leave. Couldn’t even order food (just food). I had to leave immediately.
Then I thought about it and realized this same thing happened to my boyfriend with his PASSPORT last fall. What’s with them? These are govt issued IDs. A license is all that cuts it?
This is very disappointing because otherwise I love LTD. They have great food and the Michigan State crowd is a lot of fun. I wish they’d get it together. I’m pretty sure they just lost my business.

Good place if you’re nearby, like within 5 minutes. Otherwise it’s not really worth a special trip. My only experience here was for the world cup, the place was jam packed but everyone was freeloading and half the people didnt even buy a drink. It’s got a dive/​sports bar vibe and the spectacle was entertaining with all the people there.
The staff is awesome! My group knew them pretty well. We were lucky that some of my group got a table early on (usually you should be able to get a table easily) and they would call over some of the staff by name. One of them (Mike) came over and had drinks and talks with us after.
They had a «soccer food» menu (presumably for quick turnaround) but I thought it was good. The menu items and drinks are cheap. I wouldn’t make a special trip out here, but I enjoyed it.

If the Final Four wasn’t on, I am not so sure I would have come here. Being a sports nut, I had to watch the games and I was in this neck of the woods.
Per square foot, I think LTD has the most TV’s I have seen at a sports bar. That is a major plus when enjoying a sports bar. It does get cramped for big games. Finding seats for your group might be a challenge, but finding a TV won’t be. For the numerous TV’s and playing audio for big games, I would recommend it. However, as a bar alone I don’t think I could.
The prices and drink sizes were higher than I was expecting. I asked for jameson straight. I got a measured 1 – 1.5 oz of Jamie for $ 7.75. I’ve been to craft cocktail bars with cheaper shots of Jamie. I’ve been to sports bars with more generous pours.
The bar staff was quick and friendly. The two bartenders took the time to walk the floor and take orders.
LTD is a good spot to watch sportsball, but a little too heavy on my wallet.

I’m waffling between a 2 and a 3 here. Two for the drink prices — coming from Beervana PDX, paying $ 6 for a pint of beer just isn’t my thing. $ 8 for a vodka redbull, what are we in a GD club downtown?! I think I just figured out what rubbed me wrong about this place — it’s a sportsbar with club drink prices.
There are a ton of TVs and since we were there during March Madness it was pretty hopping. The bartender was fairly fast in his (somewhat sullen) service so some stars for that. They did have an OK draft selection as well. Plenty of places to sit and toss back some drinks with friends and some pool/​shuffleboard as well.
I guess basically is I wouldn’t come back to Seattle and think «Gee, I really want to come back to LTD!» but wouldn’t have to be cowtied and dragged inside either. Three stars.

LTD is a lackluster bar compared to what is available within spitting distance of the door. The drinks were not competitively priced and definitely some of the weakest drinks I’ve ever had.
The layout of the bar is definitely geared towards drinking with your buddies while watching sports on one of the many TVs they have on the wall, but the layout is largely unremarkable and halfhearted. I can’t say that I would intentionally come here again, but the time I spent here was enjoyable and just what can be expected from a sports bar.

I stumbled upon this place when looking to kill time with my wife and in-​laws.
Amazing nachos, good beer and prices.
Great atmosphere, wasn’t crowded.

Can’t go wrong with LTD. It’s a chill sports bar in Lower Fremont with lots of TVs — enough said. I came by after the Oktoberfest 5k to watch a game around 11am, so I wasn’t trying to drink much, but the server was cool about the table ordering coffee (so I compromised and had her add kahlua to mine hehe).
I also opted for some jalapeño poppers for lunch. A little pricey ($ 9 i think) for an appetizer but they were good. There was a good portion of jalapenos, halved and filled with cream cheese then wrapped with bacon and deep fried. LOL but they were good. Served with sweet chili sauce which piqued my taste buds.
A friend ordered the chips and salsa and those were a hefty portion and the salsa looked homemade. I also tried someones fries and they were pretty decent handcut fries. Anywhoo, I’ll be back sometime.

What a great place. Went here for solstice. The place was packed but the bartenders were quick and friendly. The DJ outside spinning some great old hip-​hop music was awesome as well.
I will definetly be back and recommend this to friends.

I’d love to give this place a ZERO star its that bad.
It wasn’t super packed but had quite a few people. We found a seat and one of the girls from our party went up to order a round for us. Well she stood at the bar for a good 10 minutes while the bartender served every male around her. She finally got tired of it and started waving her hands around. When she orders, the bartender demands to see more ID’s since she asked for 4 glasses for our pitcher of beer.
I start to walk up there with my ID when bartender just waves her hand and says never mind. Umm, ok.
Round 2:
My hubby goes up to the bar to order another round. We’re thinking okay he’ll get served quicker because obviously Miss bartender prefers men. NOPE. He again waits for 9 – 10 minutes for service. The only reason he finally was served was because the lucky guy next to him that got picked to be served made a comment about my husband being next.
He orders a pitcher of beer and watches the male bartender pour it. Now anyone in the bartending business should know how to draw a beer out of a tap. This guy puts the pitcher under the tap and walks away. He tries to bring it over once its full with about 3 inches of head on it. My husband asked for him to get rid of some of it. Attitude again. I’m sorry if we are paying $ 15 for a pitcher, there better be more beer than head in there!
I don’t know anything about the food there but as far as customer service they are severely lacking!

Great food, good place to go to watch a game. Pretty low key.
However, there is one bartender that has been rude not once, twice, but THREE times that I’ve been in there, either to me, or whoever I’m with. For no apparent reason. I’ve never even been drunk in this place, so I know it wasn’t anything I did. I don’t think he got the memo that a bartender’s job besides serving drinks is all customer service, and if he wants a tip, maybe he should read that memo. After the third instance of rude dude I stopped going there. And I probably won’t go back. Sucks for them, I live 2 blocks away and used to frequent there. I’ve also told many friends about the rude dude. It’s unfortunate because every other staff member I’ve encountered besides the rude guy was awesome. 36^th has umpteen other bars, go to one where they actually treat you well. Even the staff at the Ballroom is nicer than that guy.

I showed up on opening night for the Blazers game. After calling earlier in the day the bartender suggested they’d have the game on.
The game was blacked out but the bartender and a few employees hanging around tried for 20 minutes to find the game. When it wasn’t anywhere to be found they apologized and comped my beer.
That’s quality customer service! And the Blazers won! BEAT LA!

TV’s with sports, beer on tap, a dark room that surprisingly opens up on sunny days… if these are your things, LTD is a great place… DURING THE DAY. During daylight hours (and not during football season on the weekends), it’s a relatively sleepy sports bar, with lots of tv’s and a good selection of beer on tap. The service can be hit or miss (last time I was there, the bartender shrugged and wouldn’t turn around when I ordered, but he was replaced at 6pm with a super friendly guy scurrying about). The food is basic pub food — burgers, friend stuff, nachos (it was funny to hear the cook who was running food out describe the 7-​step process involved in his double-​baked nachos).
AFTER DARK, however, beware. It’s like a Jekyll and Hyde movie. Douchebags and frat boys come out of the woodwork — their poison: the devil’s brew. Watch out for loud cheering over pointless shuffleboard games, fights over looking at the wrong lady, and lots and lots of backward hats.
So, sports during the day: SAFE.
Anything at night: BEWARE.

During my one visit to this place, it was very crowded so the best thing to do was find a table, get some drinks, and then just kick back and enjoy the scene. If I had more time and with less of a crowd I would have ordered some food or tried out the shuffle board and pool tables, but as it was, this was still a fun place to hang out.
The bar staff was really good and got drinks out quickly even with a mob of people trying to get their attention. We never had to wait very long for the next round so that was really cool considering some places will have you waiting 10 – 15 minutes between the time you step up the bar and when you finally have a drink in your hand.
I am looking forward to coming back here so I can try a few things off of the food menu which I have been told is actually really good. As far as sports bars go, this seems to be a pretty solid option.
