The Lumber Yard Bar in Burien

Fun place AND good adult beverages!

Not a good experience today. I’ve gone to this bar since they have opened and today was very odd. My group was served by one of the oldest bar tenders and everything seemed ok. We asked to be put on the wait list for patio seating and were told to hold tight. 20-25 minutes later a group walked and were whispered that a table was just cleaned off. They were seated. Not my group on the wait list. 10 minutes later another group walked in and asked for patio seating. “Oh you will need to take a table up top...we’re packed on the patio”. They declined and left. 5 minutes later “Hey do we have tables available? Yeah we do. Like 3 available the bar back stated.So, I find it very interesting that both minority groups didn’t get seated or told otherwise and magically the other groups did. I will return as it’s my favorite local spot but I’ll be mindful of who’s behind the bar.

Great bar with a good outdoor and event space (Loading Dockin the basement of the building next door. Drinks are great and the food is awesome too! Inside is super cool too! The owners, Nathan and Michael, do a great job to keep the place fun and open to everyone!

Ok walked in to order food tonight and never been in this bar before and first time ever I did tell the bartender that I was deciding and I decided to sit down and wanted to order food and a drink the bartender was rude and and ignored me and walked by 3 times. Will not be back the Seattle freeze is for real. Its pretty sad.

Good location, nice service, good prices and nice atmosphere.

Nice place to have a beer and relax. Nice outside area for a beer and downstairs area for some privacy reasons.

West Seattles Iconic LGBTQ bar. Great bartenders, friendly customers and a beautiful outdoor patio. Saturdays you can catch Dolly Madison, doing an amazing weekly drag show. The food is classy af, i personally recommend the Italian meatballs with the mash potatoes

I guess I was expecting dancing but there was none. Lots of people bumping onto each other. It was ok.

Gun bar to converse and talk to friends

The BBQ is good, I wish they had some more options for my friends that cant eat Gluten. The bartenders have always been fun. The place feels rather small when you first come in but with the downstairs and the back area there are lots of places to hang out.

Great addition to the White Center neighborhood

A new, nice discovery of a local glbt bar.

Phenomimal! I luv all the strapping young lads and bois here

Professional stafftop bartenders

A great space, and the bartenders are great. However, the two times Ive been here its not been very busy.

Not impressed and the bartender came off very rude and with a better than you attitude. This was on a Sunday and it was my our first time visiting this establishment. I ordered my vodka, oj, cran, which I was promptly corrected on the name with attitude. "Its a Madres, you should know what you drink." I simply stated we live in the south end and usually have to tell the bartender what is in the drink if we call it by name on certain cocktails, to which the bartender responded rather in a huff, "Well were not stupid here." I found no humor in his interaction and we had only one drink and promptly departed to our home area where attitudes are kept polite with a focus on customer service.

Great!

Super service and extremely friendly .good food. Pours a great drink for a good price.

This is a great little neighborhood gay bar. Similar in size to The Eagle on Capitol Hill but with more class. Obviously it is lumberjack themed and is mostly well decorated. Its on two levels and the downstairs is quiet and isolated from the main level which is nice for privacy or if you have anxiety like I do. The place has a nice outdoor drinking area in back. I mostly go there for Karaoke on Tuesday nights when they have Seattles best host who really knows how to set up the sound system so you sound awesome. Its really a nice joint and I really want them to succeed.

Friendly neighborhood gay bar! Try the bar snacks! They offer larger plates too.

Best new find in the Seattle! This place is amazing. The aesthetic are awesome. The staff is sooooo friendly. The food is delicious!

Always a good time

Im rooting for this bar to succeed! I never thought I would see a gay bar in White Center. Its always been a rough trade kind of neighborhood, down to the two adult bookstores and countless bars. The guys who took this chance and opened the bar are definitely forward thinking. Theres a need for this bar in South Park with many of us leaving or left Cap Hill. I have only been once and it was a Wednesday night. I was surprised and glad to see a crowd of about 30 people also there. Support this bar and keep them there for years to come!

Great gay bar in White Center. Fantastic staff, great drinks, fun events. Highly recommend this gay bar over the ones up on cap hill. They have great food and in house made smoked beef jerky. If you enjoy beef jerky the Lumberyards is worth enjoying. Little secret you can also order their food menu items for take out.

Great space! Owners that listen to the community and deliver. Wonderful to gave an interior that us filled with colour and lighting. In house smoked meats and cheeses are incredible!Staff is eager to get your order right and will often offer suggestions on what has been recently added to the shelves.

Love this place....

Nice new atmosphere

Great safe space with amazing staff, libations and snacks. Visiting from Portland (againand plan on coming back!... Woof!

Fantastic.

Great people, big space, and a welcominh vibe.

A great friendly place and well done decor.

Its a bar. I dont go out to gay bars often. If I decide to go to one again, this would probably be the one. It is fairly typical of gay bars. Catty guys who make snide looks at people behind their backs, typical of some gay men. And before you start calling me a homophobe, I am gay myself. But have found more sincere friends who arent gay. Was there last night and saw a few times guys made these looks at my friends behind their backs.As far as the bar itself, long and narrow space that makes it hard to get from one end to the other. Music kept going back and forth between 80s new wave and auto tuned club music. VERY annoying. Stick with one or the other. But if you stick with the auto tune, I wont be back.Very uncomfortable bar stools with no backs, which is very bad for back support. And on top of that, not much sitting space at all.

Great atmosphere, cozy with a warm neighborhood feel, and bartenders are really nice. Im so happy that there is a cool place to hang out close to home. Cant wait for summer to enjoy their patio.On weekends, it gets packed so bring your patience!

Fun theme, fun food menu and fun moes.

great drinks, nice bldg, awesome staff.

Unique atmosphere, great location and friendly experienced staff! Its going to be my new regular spot. Love it!!!

Gonna grab a beer and some food....stay tuned for review...so budazilla beer is tasty...meatballs are a leetle spicy....very good

As soon as you walk in you feel the electric atmosphere. It is by far one of the most welcoming and comfortable establishments I have been in. The owners Nathan and Michael have brought their A game and it shows in the service, drinks, food and ambiance. The food is delicious and most if not all of the meats are smoked on site. I have had the Cuban sandwich, slaw, mashed potatoes with bacon and all the fixings for a baked potato in a bowl, and today I was introduced to their pork belly Mac n cheese. Yes that’s right pork belly Mac n cheese! It comes with either mild or spicy bbq sauce and it is so good that I’m going right back to order another bowl. Oh and they have homemade beef jerky for a buck!! I love this place and the people in it. Thank you very much for blessing our little community with your fine establishment guys. Anyone wanting a great evening out must check them out. And make sure you check out the artwork downstairs. Classically mastered works of art from wall to wall lol.

Thus place is king. Needs some better music.

Opening night was a blast!

Exactly what this neighborhood needed. Last night (Fri 1/6/18was a last-minute soft opening, only 2 hours after receiving final permits. Friendly (men and women), Welcoming atmosphere, Delicious food (samples last nightFlirty and Efficient staff. A genuine reflection of the local owners Nathan and Michale.
