Spitfire

A lounge where food is as important as the sports.

  • Serving Brunch, Lunch & Dinner
  • VIP Rooms & Banquets
  • Late Night Happy Hour

There's new life at the old Sit & Spin. Some familiar faces have completely redone the space and started up a non-traditional sports bar called Spitfire. The goal was to have a lounge "where art was as important as the TVs and food was as important as the sports," said co-owner Jerry Everard (of Neumo's, the Rendezvous and Moe's Mo'roc'n Cafe). He's joined at Spitfire by Marcus Charles (of Neumo's, Marcus' Martini Heaven and Bad Juju Lounge) and Jonathan Sposato, who has invested in the Rendezvous and other ventures. Spitfire's chef is James Earl, formerly of BluWater Bistro, who's developed a Latin-influenced menu that's "not ethnic by any means," but heavy on flavor and spices but lighter on the fried stuff. Spitfire is open for lunch, dinner and weekend brunch. The place will occasionally open earlier for those "non-traditional" sports events.

Editorial Review for Spitfire – by Citysearch Editors

In Short
Splashy local art dominates the dark brick walls of this bar tucked away on Fourth Avenue, contrasting with the wide-screen TVs blaring sport. Belltown denizens and sports-loving hipsters occupy the leather stools at the central bar or camp out in the booths lining the walls. The menu (somewhat inexplicably) has a Mexican bent, offering a long list of house-recipe margaritas made with fresh juice, a well-stocked tequila selection and nibbles like nachos, tacos and more.

Great drinks, attentive service, welcoming staff, community atmosphere. These are just a few of the reasons that I am a regular at Spitfire. I live in the belltown area and frequent many bars and Spitfire is at the top of my list. Whether I am the bar or sitting at a table I get great service. The staff is cool and chill. The lamb skewers and the BLT are amazing!!! I am ready for some football!! Go Hawks!!!

I went to spitfire recently for a birthday party my friend was having in their private backroom, and have been back almost every day since. They have a killer happy hour, discounts on both food and drinks! and the food specials are all under $5!! I spend $10 on dinner and 2 drinks and always end up leaving the girls who work there a ten spot for their great personalitys...They get every game I could ever ask for and also have been showing election returns, very cool. I like this place because I can go in anytime, dressed for work, a night out or just rolling out of bed and I feel at home. The place is not pretenious, if you *think* you are really cool, this is probably not the place for you, but if you like good inexpensive food, strong drinks and great conversation, come in, I will be sitting at the bar-

Pros: 10,000 TV's

Cons: beltown
