Editorial Review for Ballroom in Fremont – by Leah Greenblatt
The Scene
This warehouse space holds nine regulation pool tables as well as an adjoining "function room" that doubles as a disco-ball-dappled dance floor. An attractive, laid-back mix of frat grads and Fremont funksters pack the place, especially on weekends. A well-edited selection of beer sells for $3.50 a glass, $11 for a pitcher and the libations, as well as an ever-spinning CD player, help get the crowd in a celebratory mood.
The Draw
Bartenders serve a full assortment of spirits, as well as snacks, from behind an intricately constructed, dark wood bar. Food options all ring in at $10 or under and dwell mostly on old-fashioned comfort food like beef brisket, sloppy joes and mac and cheese--but there's also a Middle Eastern plate for the more exotically inclined.

I have been a regular at the Ballroom since the day it opend. I have seen the Ballroom change and grow and the Ballroom it is today is the BEST!! It is a great place to hang out during the week and early on the weekends. I admit sometimes I like to people watch late night on the weekends. The entire staff at the Ballroom is GREAT! If you go in there once, the next time they remember you! That is a rare find in Seattle. Everyone needs to give the Ballroom a try once!
Pros: Great space and staff
Cons: NONE!!

I am so appalled, all around not a good experience if it weren't for the company I was with! Our waitress at first was very nice and helpful but as soon as she got a couple of tables of guys she was only to be seen flirting with them. Our second round of drinks sat at the bar for five minutes before I got up to get them with our waitress MIA. If you decide to give them a try anyways I recommend sticking with beer as the rest of their drinks are weak, seriously WEAK. The music I swear they kept bumping up the volume 10 notches every 30 minutes. It was difficult to carry on a conversation when we first got there but it just kept getting louder. I woke up with a sore throat from trying to talk. It seems like they are trying to compete as a "club" with Belltown or something. Then to top it all off at the end of the night when we asked for our check we waited another ten - fifteen minutes before I got up AGAIN to go do something our waitress should have been on top of. I shouldn't have to go ask AGAIN for my bill. Sadly enough the tab was started on my card therefore I couldn't just pay in cash and be done. Unfortunately our party had six people at one point during the night and therefore they charged us the automatic gratuity. She didn't deserve the 18% but the rest of the staff didn't deserve to be stiffed on her behalf. I can't stress how much I DO NOT recommend this bar.
Pros: The wings were good.
Cons: Poor service, poor service, poor service, poor service.
