I love going to their Happy Hour! Seriously, oneof the best in Woodinville/Kirkland/Redmond for food for alright during happy hour, but not as good as the food menu items.
Their regular entrees are delicious well.

Their Cubano, a twist on the traditional Cuban sandwich was delicious with braised pork shoulder. The ancho chile tots we're out of this world! This is must try place to go before or after your wine tastings in Woodinville!

Great food, amazing drinks. We got a bunch of sherable starters and split a burger and a large salad. They even split it for our group of 4 without asking! The brussel sprouts I think would have been better if they were roasted to give them a crispy crunch, however the sauce they were in was fabulous. The cocktails were absolutely on point, both the Gin/rosemary and whiskey old fashioned styled drinks were very well balanced. Delish.

Delightful. Service was great. Eric made suggestions and was attentive yet not intrusive. Drinks were excellently prepared but maybe an update to the glassware? Dinner mains were excellently prepared. We had 4 different mains but each came with the same quiet and tired fries. Creativity and options here would be appreciated. Overall a delicious and fun evening out. BTW - watching the Drunk Girl Wine Walk across the busy road was entertaining.

I has visited the old tavern and loved having a couple brews and listening to the old stories, repeated.
I and a friend, known to the tavern as 'The Gold-Digger', dropped in one noon to check out the new tavern and opted to sit at the bar for lunch. The bartender shortly took our cocktail orders and gave us lunch menus. He was busy but our drinks were presented soon enough. Lunch plates arrived but we had a wait for napkins and flatware (should have been there before the food) and, as I had fries, I
asked for catsup. Reply: 'It's on its way". A wait...and then my friend asked a passing waitress to please bring catsup and she walked behind the bar to the frig behind the bartender. Yoila!, the catsup. Meanwhile, lounging against the bar/storeroom (?) door was a manager-looking person, arms
folded, grim-faced, watching. She stood there the whole time we were there, watching the bartender, no interaction, except for foot-closing the frig door a couple times. 'The Dragon Lady'? During this time, we, naturally, also were watching the bartender, a bit gruff and particularly unhelpful to a waitress who asked which coke was diet and was regular as she stared at her ordered drinks. He said, 'I don't know, I didn't pour them.' No offer to pour new ones, just left her there,.

The new place is lacking a real tavern feel. It looks as though the numbers are all important.

Great vibe and atmosphere!! If you want to sit outside you have to find your own seats. Happy hour has great food and drink specials! Limited parking and you might have to park across the street.

I had the Hollywood Burger, it was huge and had a thick patty with fresh ingredients. Nothing super fancy, just a burger that hit the mark. I asked for sauteed onions and they weren't skimpy with the addition. You had 3 options as a side and I get the Cesar, good dressing, just the right amount. My bf got the special sandwich which was similar to if a french dip and a philly cheese steak sandwich had a baby, and came with au jus sauce and tots. Who doesn't like tots?! Drinks were on point and they had an eclectic selection. Our waiter was really good, could explain the menu and had some suggestions, didn't stop by too often as to annoy. Definitely going back.

Wow, what is it with a restaurant that always ... always .... always closes early that coincides with nearby concerts? (prior to their 10 pm posted closing) This has happened 3 times for us. Not even allowed us to enter on a rainy night (with lightning) to wait for our Uber this last time. This was even known by others who were waiting outside in the rain. Hollywood Tavern is very low on customer service!

I was honestly surprised by how good the food was here. It's a fairly normal tavern with good beer list cocktails and the usual pub grub, but the ribs and the Cuban sandwich were lip-smacking and even their chili fries were amazing. They have good accommodations for ensuring social distancing and their outdoor patio seating is per friendly so our dogs could accompany us to dinner. The waiters allowed plenty of time for conversations to flow and still managed to check-in with us every now and again, ensuring we got our food and drinks on time.

Creative drink menu and solid southern pub choices. Green goddess without dressing is the BEST paired with Mabel's chicken breast. The staff take pride in what they do and have an amazing amount of courtesy and respect for their patrons.

Food was good. The place was packed and it was so noisy hard to hear each other but lots of big groups. Biggest negative is the parking lot - total nightmare to get on and out of spots and cars going wrong way down one way lot.

This is the perfect place to go after a Woodinville winery tour. There's a warm, inviting atmosphere, the service is impeccable, and the food is delectable. I highly recommend the chicken sandwich.

The food and drinks were good, staff was attentive and friendly, I'd give 5 stars, although it's a little pricey for a Sunday lunch. For a sandwich ($16), a burger ($16), and 2 drinks ($13-14 each) the total was $60 plus tip. The place seemed to stay pretty full, food was good quality, and the drinks were mostly made with Woodinville Whiskey spirits, so it's worth the visit, although as they don't post prices on their website, be aware it's a bit on the pricey side.
