Mutiny Hall

Tonight was my first time in this place, and it will most likely be my last. First of all, I walked in alone (was meeting a friend there), and nobody acknowledged me or anything for at least 5 minutes, so I just went and sat in a booth. It took another 5 minutes at least of me being ignored and watching the waitress chat up the people sitting at the bar before I was finally offered water and menus.
It was happy hour, so my friend ordered some things off the happy hour menu, one of which was a crab chowder. We spent the next hour trying to get a straight answer out of the waitress about whether crab chowder was a foreseeable future event or not. Eventually we gave up.
I ordered the NY strip steak, which I think was the most expensive thing on the menu. I asked for it medium rare, and to sub out the mashed potatoes for some other veggie. That part was nice — they brought me sauteed kale in garlic that was delicious, and a little mixed-​green salad that was good.
THE STEAK. I have never had a more badly cooked steak in any restaurant. It was a shame because it was obviously a nice, large, quality cut of NY steak, but apparently at the Mutiny Hall, «medium rare» means «cooked just long enough for the outside to become a pale unappetizing grey color, and the inside is still raw.» I had to just eat the most cooked parts around the edges. Took the leftover (which was most of it) home and cooked it up right and it was delicious.
The service was slow and annoying. The waitress was obviously much more interested in chatting up whoever was at the bar than in attending to the diners. Note that me and my friend were the only table of diners who weren’t sitting at the bar. There were like maybe 15 customers in the whole place.
Meh. Super meh. Unless they change cooks and get better waitstaff, or unless you are only there to drink at the bar, skip it.

Make sure you have a lot of time to burn here… service is slower than molasses going uphill on a cold day. The food here is below par, make sure you like IPA if you are drinking, because their beer selection is VERY IPA heavy. I’ll spend my money elsewhere thank you very much.

To start out, they have a GREAT selection of something like 20 rotating beers on tap. The food is good, and they’ve changed the menu so that it’s a bit cheaper — most entrees are now around $ 12. The Steak Salad is consistently excellent, the Reuben is hit-​or-​miss, and the burger is a bit disappointing. The fish and chips are tasty, but you don’t get a whole lot of fish. The pork chops are delicious.
Service is generally good, but it can get to be slow when the place becomes busy.

What is up with this place? Is it a front for something? I’ve been there twice. Both times the place was nearly empty yet the waitress took at least 5 to 10 minutes just to come over to our table with menus. First time we ordered beers, which took another 10 minutes. We gave up on ever putting in a food order. Second time we went there the waitress just kind of wondered off in the middle of us trying to place our drink order. It was very strange.

So I live in the u district and wanted to find a bar that has good quality food and various beers on tap that are not just the standard ones you typically find in a college area I feel with this place I hit a home run. I really appreciated the friendly women bartender there that talked with me till I had to leave to pick up my better half. I also had a really nice conversation with the owner as well. This place just opened up and if it can maintain the friendly staff and good beer selection it will have no problem surviving the turn over rate for this area. The only problem with this place is the same for all places in this area is PARKING

Love this place — they get just about everything right. Only been once but plan to return for sure.
Super friendly and helpful service. Awesome craft beers on tap. Reasonable prices. The happy hour mussels were outstanding — thanks to the bartender for the suggestion!

Let’s start with the good: Nice taplist, outdoor seating.
The bad? $ 14 for a bacon cheeseburger that was meh at best. I asked for my bacon to be «not crispy» and it arrived as crisp as a bone. It wasn’t worth arguing about but I won’t be back. I have no problem paying that much for a burger, if it’s worth it. This wasn’t.
My drink was okay. Limited cocktail menu (I like to have a big variety!).

So I’ve been to this place about 5 times so far. Love the atmosphere, love the servers, and love the drinks. I’ve had a few of the menu items and the only thing I didn’t like was the steak salad. The burger is pretty good, but I think my favorite is the cheese plate. It’s perfect with a couple of glasses of wine after work.
We have been here now for lunch, for happy hour, for dinner, and for late night drinks. Always made to feel welcome. Mutiny hall is a wonderful addition to our neighborhood and I have no doubt we will continue to enjoy it.

MMMM. The risotto cakes were delicious! They also have a serious gin selection and make a rockin’ G&T with extra lime. Yum!
Not a lot of option for those watching their waistline so I went all-​in with the risotto cakes. They were tasty and the portion seemed large… but I left hungry. Probably more about me than them though!
Minus one star because the waitress tacked on gratuity for our group of 6 but didn’t mention it. I’d already signed my tag adding MORE gratuity before someone in the group figured it out. I didn’t make a fuss, but I think it’s common courtesy to announce to the group this will happen.

I have been here a few times now and this place is amazing. They make good drinks and have an awesome selection of beer. My bartender, Alena, created me my very own drink that she now calls The Lion Tamer. I highly reccomend you order one of these! The other bartender I have had service from is Darina and she is a bad ass bartender and can definitely handle her rushes. Customer service had always been an A+!
The food is also fantastic. I have had the steak sandwich and the caesar salad which were both so good. the steak sandwich had so many flavors that worked so well together and the croutons on the caesar salad were so good that they asked me if I wanted some more haha! I dont eat seafood but my friend had their famous chowder and loved it so much. she just moved in to town so needless to say she will definitely be back for more!
its never too loud inside, always very clean, and the staff, drinks, and food are great! definitely do yourself a favor and stop in.

I want to love this place but I can only give three stars… Actually I’d rather 2.5 but alas that is not an option. Anyway, BF and I went in to get some beer and some grub and do some work.
We both had our laptops out (thanks for free wireless!) and spent about 90 minutes there, had two appetizers, split a meal and four beers. Tab was over 70. Ouch.
Food was just okay, especially for the high price tag. Hummus was nothing special. Soup was good but very rich. As others have noted, beers and food were served with a side of attitude.
Great location, great beer selection, great ambiance.
They need to either step up the food quality and service or bring down the prices. Hey, how about both? :-) Until then we’ll stick with the AC.
We’ll try MH again in a couple months to see if things have changed…

Boyfriend and I eagerly awaited Mutiny Hall to open. A new neighborhood pub! We went within its first couple weeks, so I’m cutting some slack here. If I could, I’d give it 2.5 stars.
The good: The Mac and Cheese. Sooo good. The beer selection, as others have mentioned, is extensive.
The meh: Boyfriend ordered the salmon. The fish was dry, and the overall serving size was paltry. We ordered fries (which were delicious) to compensate.
The service was a little inattentive, and the hostess had an aloof/​annoyed attitude that is more fitting of a bartender in Capitol Hill.
Honestly, what was most disappointing was the TVs. There are three giant TVs in a relatively small space. I was disappointed in the sports bar ambience when I expected a neighborhood pub. One TV would have sufficed, like at its sister restaurant Hudson. Even Boyfriend was put off by the TVs.
We’ll probably give it another try, but it’s not likely to be our first choice.

We found ourselves at Mutiny Hall watching the election returns — happy to find a place we could get a solid dinner and some good beer, plus take advantage of the cable TV!
The beer selection is awesome here. They have rotating taps, 20 or so options at any given time. Dinner was good, too! Highly recommend the white bean hummus (YUM) and the house salad (nice and fresh, with blue cheese). My cheeseburger was pretty impressive, a big full-​flavored, juicy patty with Tillamook cheddar cheese. It earned its $ 12 price tag, though just barely — that’s steep for a burger in my book. The fries were good, though I recommend adding sweet potato fries for $ 1 more. My boyfriend was thrilled to find meatloaf as the special of the evening, served as little sliders on mini buns — he was a very happy camper.
All in all, this is a very welcome addition to the Roosevelt/​Ravenna neighborhood. I’m impressed with the beer choices and the food holds its own, making it a worthy option for dinner rather than just drinks… that being said, it’s in the middle price range at $ 10-​$ 15 for entrees. Great, friendly service, though, and lots of TV’s for sports (or elections!). They post their beer menu and daily specials on their facebook page. We’ll keep tabs on this place!

Good beer selection although some things on the board are usually sold out. It gets a little noisy here sometimes. The food is pretty good although last time I was here the selection was limited. As far as bars in the area go I would this would be my second choice — it is nice to have options.

Yay for a new neighborhood restaurant! We watched it transform from an empty out-​of-​business Mexican place to a classy pub, and I’ve been in twice now.
The first time was just for a beer. I had a pumpkin brew, which was delicious as most are. It came in a smaller glass — one of those fancy goblets — and was still the same price as a regular pint. Oh well! Sometimes those super-​flavorful beers are a bit too much anyway.
Then we went again on Friday night for dinner. I swear their prices have dropped since they first opened. When we looked at the menu posted in the window, I think the original prices were pretty high; the cheapest thing was a $ 14 burger. But now the same menu was at least $ 2 less per item. I did have the cheeseburger, which was juicy and cooked to order. Fries were excellent as well.
It’s still on the spendy side; for two burgers and 4 beers, the total was $ 50. So we might not be back a ton to eat, but I’m definitely willing to sample their happy hour next!

Easily one of my favorite places to relax, grab a beer (from at least 10 on tap!!! local and delicious) and if you arrive before 10, grab a bite to eat.
The menu boasts a good variety without being overwhelming boasting local distributors (like Painted Hills steak!!) The mussels are delicious with their cream broth, the wings (which were a Husky game special) were smoky and the burger meaty, juicy and perfectly seasoned.
The service here is fantastic, its always been gracious, impeccable and friendly.
The snazzy wood interior is new and still has that mmmm new wood smell. And if you find that your date begins to bore you, sit down, relax, order a couple more beers (or some cocktails from their bar) and enjoy the game from 4 different flat screen TVs.

Love the daytime waitress. Food and Beer Lists, all Quality.

I recently tried out Mutiny Hall on a Sunday night — figured it would be a great pub food night. I walked in and seated myself at a centrally located table. About 20 minutes (I’m not kidding) later I was approached by a server with a menu — there were three service employees in the place serving no more than 20 people. I took a look at their beer list — lengthy but not as diverse as I would expect. Half of list (not kidding) were IPAs and there were no unfiltered beers on the list. I ordered an amber that resembled and tasted more like a brown ale — OK but not really what I expected.
I ordered the much ballyhooed burger — with bacon, of course! It was good — but not rave worthy. I would take 50 North’s burger over this one, personally, and they have plenty of nice beers to choose from. Particularly for $ 14.
Service did not improve throughout the hour+ that I was there. I exited with a $ 23 tab for a good burger and an OK beer. I don’t get what the fuss is about. The neighborhood already has Pies and Pints and the Third Street Pub, both of which have interesting menus (at more accessible prices) and pleasant beer selections (with good pub atmosphere and good service).
I think that this place needs some supervision and a revamp in order to stick around long term.

Good addition to the neighborhood (still sad Jaliscos is gone, but happy something delicious finally moved in!)
Beer selection was excellent. Lots on tap. The bar looked well stocked.
Food options were pretty good. The burger was top notch– which is great for someone on the hunt for the city’s best burger. The pork chop and grits seemed tasty if that was your thing (it’s not mine but my husband finished his AND my plate so I’m guessing it passes)
The space is great. Totally transformed. Dark finishes with lots of light from outside.
Excited this place is here. Looking forward to trying more stuff. Welcome to the neighborhood MH!

This was opening night. It was busy. They were unprepared. Service was sluggish. Not enough draught lists had been printed. The list on the window had said Pliny the Elder would be on tap, but the truck was late and so it wasn’t yet available. Neither was half of the menu.
Good. We’ve gotten the bad out of the way.
The fact remains that the draught list was exceptional. This is a beer place. I would give this another chance. Who am I kidding? I will give this another chance. And once they have mastered food and service, I’m sure this will be worth four or five stars to me. I will be back.
