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.\n\nBut 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. \n\nMore 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).\n\nI 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.\n\nThis 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."^^ .
