Spar Pole

I’d give a zero if I could. I’ve been to this place 3 or 4 times all of which were at least 6 months to a year apart and every time the bartenders and staff are rude or just ignore you if you’re not a regular. If you manage to get a drink then good luck getting a second one without having to wave someone down. All of the 4+ star ratings must be from regulars or family/friends of the staff everyone I know that have been there have been treated the same way.

Great customer services ad good environment. Good food at a fair pricing

I don't love - nor hate - the Spar Pole. It's just an alright hole-in-the-wall which I believe is the goal for the owners.

However, I would love to see it turn into a true sports bar. They have the space and the foundation. Add more bar stools and high tops; upgrade from rock-hard bar stools to decently comfortable units; there are a few small tvs with glaring bright spots, and a projection screen that is clearly burnt out.

Upgrade those tv's and projector. And just one example here: tell the staff to air Thursday night football games instead of senior citizen footcare infomercials. Seriously, have the Kraken, Mariners, and Hawks schedules posted for your staff and make sure the games are turned on before they start.

The beer is great here, and reasonably priced. The salads and burgers are top-notch. The $10 dinners (when they are posted) are pretty good. I do wish there were more $5 side dishes to snack on as most of the $11 appetizers seem way overpriced for the Costco freezer food that they are.

In a nutshell, this could be a 5-star rating.

-Fix the TVs and broadcast sporting events at all times. -Upgrade the bar stools. -Get a few more high top tables. -Add some cheap snacks/sides to the menu.

All areas where rival L&M win my business. Fortunately for Spar Pole, the L&M hired some awful bartenders with nasty attitudes so we keep our business at the Spar now.
