This place is quaint and feels like you are in Seattle back in the 90’s. Sweet old vibes. Had the warm Cesar salad and it was a little off, the chicken was sorta not right. Also had the wings which were outstanding. Really different with great flavors. The hero here was the drinks. Oh my, some of the best drinks I have ever had! I will 100% be back for those! Delish! The bartender and (owner?) was sweet and helpful.

Wish I could give another star. Stopped in on a recommendation from a friend and this place did not disappoint. The burger was delicious and I couldn’t stop eating the fries with the dip. The staff were super friendly, knew their sherry and just made the place really welcoming.

Visited Seattle for nearly a week and this became our go-to spot. The staff (Jesse and Keaton) were both extremely friendly and genuinely cared about making sure we enjoyed our food, drinks, and experience! The ambiance is really cool, vibey, and chill with style. Not only that, they gave us other local bar and food recommendations for our trip which turned out to be great and all deferred to Bad Bishop as the GOATed spot. I don’t even write reviews but this place really stood out, if you’re in the area at all… go out of your way to come here, it’s so worth it!!! We will be recommending all our friends and family visiting Seattle to make sure to stop here! BRB still dreaming about the burger, shoestring fries, and cumback sauce. 10/10. PS: Seattle’s best Negroni - Chazz, your non local Negroni hater

Great Seattle smashburger and fries with a cool vibe. Order at the bar and enjoy on one of a few indoor tables. The burger was great, the bacon was good, and the fries were terrific... Heavily paprika seasoned. It was a cold night, so unfortunately the fries cooled off quick. The vegan soup was very spicy. Vibe, decor, and service was nice. Street parking (paid or free after hours).

The vibe at the Bad Bishop is perfect if you’re looking to chill at the end of a busy day. I was thrilled to see their selection of non-alcoholic cocktails! Couldn’t be happier that we stopped here.

Fantastic local bar and restaurant. There’s a strong community of folks that has been forming here over the last few years. It’s not the kind of community that’s exclusive or exclusionary, so come in, have a seat, get some amazing drinks and delicious food, meet a new friend and really feel welcome in this neighborhood gem. Do not miss the burger (double meat, double cheese, please!) and fries, and any cocktail (the Homecoming is a great one).

Great vibe! We went for a late Friday dinner and was pleasantly surprised. We had a tall, quiet man as our bartender and he was fantastic. I don’t drink so a lot of the fancy drinks are out to window for me but he made my Shirley temple just as pretty. The food was great and the prices were no more than what you’d expect. 5 stars! Would certainly go again 🙂
