Two Bells

03/19/2008 Posted by aznlovenecstasy

So i came here with my friend for lunch because we heard the bugers were good. the service was okay, u got to get their attention and when we ordered, u can't get fries with your burger... yeah... wtf?? and we both bit into the burger and the grease would just drip down your arm, it was tasty and moist because there's so much fat in it.

Pros: there's barely anyone there so no waiting

Cons: Service, Expensive

Have you ever had a burger that serve on a baguette? If not, you must visit this place. Not because I was hungry when I showed up here but indeed it is one of the tastiest burgers I have acquired. The service is so-so and definitely need a beer to go with the burger. If only if, there's french fries with the burger it would be perfect or better yet... how about tater tots?

I no longer live in Seattle but I never come home without a stop at Two Bells. This is a funky little place with loads of character from both the staff as well as the setting. They have a great assortment of beer (man do I miss being able to get my hands on Mac & Jacks African Amber) and the best chicken sandwich I've ever tasted. The burgers are great too. My husband and I moved away almost 5 years ago and we still talk about how much we miss this place and wish we had something like it down in MS. Oh, and if you're there in the summer, check out the outdoor seating in the back - it's hidden but worth looking for.

Pros: Great Food, Great Atmosphere, Outdoor Patio

Cons: None

On the one hand you have a really cozy neighborhood atmosphere, great food (no deep fryer!) and a nice beer selection. On the other hand, atmosphere has a lot to do with whose working on any particular night. I always look in the window before going in - if one of the three friendly bartenders are behind the counter, I go in for a guaranteed pleasant evening. If not, I go somewhere else - if the wrong person is behind the counter, there's a good chance I was better off staying home - especially true on Monday nights. The cooks are great - the soup at 2 Bells is the best anywhere, consistently delicious and adventurous. Although they are known for their burgers on sourdough, everything is great - including a perfect steak. The sides of potato salad, baked beans and coleslaw are among the best examples of each you will ever taste.

Pros: Burgers, steaks, sides, soup, the good bartenders are the best

Cons: the bad bartenders are really unpleasant

From a Seattle ex-pat: There are many reasons that I rue the day I left Seattle, and 2 Bells is high on the list. Best burgers in Seattle (and the world?), hands down. There ain't no denyin. And if you say no, you lyin. Why has nobody praised their hummus? Yum. Nice selection of local micros. Delish. Perfect for low key, no pretense, chillin with friends and eating good food, in contrast to the increasingly awful Belltown. (What's goin on Seattle? You're loosing your vibe.) If you are a Californian who now lives in Seattle, you probably won't understand what I just wrote, so talk to a Seattle old timer (pre 1990s) and figure out how what you can do to help restore the Emerald City to its previous level of coolness. Anyhow, the 2 Bells is one way of getting in touch with it. JUST SAY NO TO YUPPY CORPORATE CULTURE. OK, if I *have* to say one negative thing about the place, the service can be a little...uneven. That shouldn't stop you cuz the place is all that and a bag of chips.

Pros: Burgers, hummus, atmposphere

The hamburger was okay..a lot of bread but good flavor. THe beer was offered in a cold glass or bottle... nice touch!. The server should remember that she is there to be pleasant. She barely acknowledged us as being there. Never smiled and did just bare minimum to say she worked there last Sunday. I hope she knows that her tip was more reflective of the food and not of her lack of personality.

Pros: Hamburgers, Chef delivered entree

Two Bells is cozy and friendly. The service is the best you will ever find in a neighborhood pub. It is my "local" and a great spot to take friends, play cards, have a great meal. I recommend the 12.00 steak! For once something that sounds too good to be true is actually fact.

Pros: friendly, warm, location

Cons: Too bright

for lunch and a drink. I was there for lunch in the mid-afternoon and the place was not very busy, however, I understand it can be at other times. It is a small bar with a great atmosphere! Service is great and the drinks plentiful! Two thumbs up - I can't wait to get back!

It's really smoky in there, which is bad. But the occasional celeb sighting is good, as well as the beer and the overly salty bar food.

Pros: location, atmosphere, attitude

Cons: smoky
