A lounge where food is as important as the sports.
  • Serving Brunch, Lunch & Dinner

There's new life at the old Sit & Spin. Some familiar faces have completely redone the space and started up a non-traditional sports bar called Spitfire. The goal was to have a lounge "where art was as important as the TVs and food was as important as the sports," said co-owner Jerry Everard (of Neumo's, the Rendezvous and Moe's Mo'roc'n Cafe). He's joined at Spitfire by Marcus Charles (of Neumo's, Marcus' Martini Heaven and Bad Juju Lounge) and Jonathan Sposato, who has invested in the Rendezvous and other ventures. Spitfire's chef is James Earl, formerly of BluWater Bistro, who's developed a Latin-influenced menu that's "not ethnic by any means," but heavy on flavor and spices but lighter on the fried stuff. Spitfire is open for lunch, dinner and weekend brunch. The place will occasionally open earlier for those "non-traditional" sports events.

I love this place!!! 5 Star Rating - World class

Great drinks, attentive service, welcoming staff, community atmosphere. These are just a few of the reasons that I am a regular at Spitfire. I live in the belltown area and frequent many bars and Spitfire is at the top of my list. Whether I am the bar or sitting at a table I get great service. The staff is cool and chill. The lamb skewers and the BLT are amazing!!! I am ready for some football!! Go Hawks!!!

new favorite place! 5 Star Rating - World class

I went to spitfire recently for a birthday party my friend was having in their private backroom, and have been back almost every day since. They have a killer happy hour, discounts on both food and drinks! and the food specials are all under $5!! I spend $10 on dinner and 2 drinks and always end up leaving the girls who work there a ten spot for their great personalitys...They get every game I could ever ask for and also have been showing election returns, very cool. I like this place because I can go in anytime, dressed for work, a night out or just rolling out of bed and I feel at home. The place is not pretenious, if you *think* you are really cool, this is probably not the place for you, but if you like good inexpensive food, strong drinks and great conversation, come in, I will be sitting at the bar-

Pros: 10,000 TV's
Cons: beltown

average... 3 Star Rating - Satisfactory

I have some friends that live in the area and so we come in on occasion to have some drinks. There are certain days we avoid because there is one female bartender that must think large fake breasts are the answer to everything because the attitude is ridiculous but if she's there we sit at a table because the servers are usually pretty easy going.

Ok 1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

The spitfire staff act like they're serving movie stars from Beverly Hills with their snodiness. I totally agree with the last review. I receive an email about for the Cinco De Mayo posting for this Monday and you could'nt pay me enough money to step a foot in that place. Whatever happen to customer service because they don't have it. NONE. Oh! the food is awful. It you're going serve mexican food at least try to make it authentic and I'm 1/2 mexican. I would not feed that mess to my dog if I was homeless.
The customers will see their true colors and hopefully this place will go out of busines becuase is awful.
Final word:
Don't no go there for Cinco De Mayo, your evening will be ruin.

Pros: Cheap food
Cons: Bad attitude and service

Not LGBT Welcoming 1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

I have to agree with the previous posting. I've been here twice, and both times the bar/restaurant was not very welcoming to my group of LGBT friends. I don't plan on returning to this bar, and won't be referring this venue to any friends.
