The perfect spot in Alki, friendly service, great company, good food, perfect ambiance, family vibes.

First of all, let me tell you how happy I am that the Benbow is up and running again. I've been a loyal customer for years, even through the Cheeseburger Shot period (love me some Rosemary)! It's still ok, just is prettier and has bigger wide open spaces with nice decor minus the Kois that I used to love to feed in the river that ran through the establishment. I love the whole maritime vibe, the pirates, the skulls (someone tried to buy these one of the times I was here lol). It's great they have the slurry drinks. They are long, strong, and down to get the friction on (bartenders Kat and Heather will suggest creative mixes to make your drink experiences even more delicious!) I love this space so much...it goes from casual bar to nightclub when it's really popping off! I suggest you come to the most popular bar/club in West Seattle. 21 and up only with proper ID. ENJOY!!!

I went in to The Benbow Room this evening to grab a few drinks and met two of the best bartenders, Kat and Heather. I was solo, I just didn't want to stay in this evening and I had the best time ever. I would highly suggest coming here for a comfortable casual evening out in a place that makes you feel like one of the cool kids.

Hands down the best slushy drinks I've had since living in Brooklyn. And they're better than what we had there...or in Austin, LA or New Orleans. Truly well crafted drinks with just the right amount of edge. Atmosphere manages to land it by being so deeply West Seattle but with just the right note of grown up. The combination is undeniably hip. Thanks to the incoming bar manager for making this spot a destination. We'll definitely be back!

I'm not sure why the low rating... people must be too picky and uptight. My partner and I dropped in on Valentine's Day before our dinner reservations. It was a surprise for me because she knows how much I adore anything and everything pirate related. Benbow delivered. The bartender working that night was super friendly and efficient. Catered to the small number of patrons perfectly. I'm not going to lie- the cocktails we got weren't amazing. While decently strong, they tasted artificial and pre-mixed. Next time we go back, we'll probably stick to their beers which are so affordable. The decor was amaaaazing. It made me so happy. They also had an arcade in the back that I'd love to check out next time. 5 stars mainly because of the theme and the service. I plan to come back pretty regularly!

Fun place for a stiff drink, hot dog, dancing and some pinball. The m doing a slushy daiquiri that's pretty stiff. Fun place!
