Hatback Bar & Grille

With a trip to Hatback, you get a location convenient to the Sodo stadiums, great beer, and food that’s just OK. This huge warehouse of a sports bar has so many TVs that they could play every Olympics event all at once, plus a Seinfeld rerun. The menu has the typical offerings you’d find in such close proximity to astroturf—like pizza, burgers, and various dips, but we aren’t jazzed about any of those. If you’re in the mood to just drink, their selection of local beers range from Fremont Brewing’s lush IPA to Métier’s coconut porter. Walk in with a large group of friends, grab a pint, order a few decent appetizers for the table, and then simply walk across the street to the game.
