| - Never being able to pass up a new sports, I saw great reviews of the Blue 32 Sports Grill by Michael C and Donald S. I figured that was just what I needed to add to my list of places to watch the hapless Seattle Mariners (and Seahawks) - an upscale sports bar. At least if my teams lose, I can watch in a comfortable environment. And lose they did, 11-6, perhaps on their way to setting a season record for the most losses ever by a Mariner's team.
But I digress. The Blue 32 is very nice, and I particularly like the way it is set up. There is a very nice bar, all the requisite flat TV's, and the sections are split up where everyone has an excellent view of the games.
More importantly, the food is very good - much better than an average sports bar. I had their Shrimp Poor Boy and it was wonderful. The other diners sitting near me had everything from pasta to ribs to steak, and everything looked delicious. I asked about Happy Hour specials for food, and they had not decided yet what they were going to have as specials (but they do have a list of Happy Hour drinks on their menu, and they do plan on adding some type of food specials at some time).
I sat at the bar, and the bartender was very nice and attentive. She answered the menu questions I had, and was very on top of things. I was very impressed that the servers were organized and efficient - especially since they had only been open for several weeks.
This is definitely a place that I will be visiting in the future. Not to watch the dismal Seattle teams, but just to grab a sandwich or a quick meal at a reasonable price.
