Hatback Bar and Grille

Hatback exists because Seattle needed a sports bar directly across the street from its stadiums, and The Boxyard delivered exactly that. The space is large, loud in the best way, and outfitted with enough screens that you can watch other World Cup matches while you wait for your own kickoff. The menu sticks to bar and grill fundamentals done well: burgers with a good char, wings with real heat options, and shareable plates built for groups. The outdoor patio is a major draw during summer, putting you in the middle of the pre-match atmosphere rather than tucked away inside. For groups arriving together with time to kill before the gates open, or for anyone who wants to keep tabs on other matches around the tournament, Hatback is the most purpose-built option near Lumen Field, and it knows exactly what its job is.
