Dalamar437MemberI like the Rocksport Bar & Grill on Alaska St and I had heard some news that they were closing down. Well I talked to the owner last night and he said that very recently they renewed a 7 year lease! It was going to be torn down and have more condos put in but given the down economy the land lord asked them to stay! I’m happy about this. I love their food!

beachdrivegirlParticipantI had heard that a few weeks ago! and yes like you I was just delighted. IMO, one of the best bars in town. :) :)

JiggersMemberI’m not that crazy about their food since it’s mostly greasey(Nachos rule their though), but I love the fact that they can get almost any game in any sport on if you ask them to find it for you.

OlMomParticipantI am glad. I am not a fan of all the condos and I have a lot of memories at the Cracksport.

WSBKeymasterWe had heard 1-year lease. Will check on this because 7 years would seem a little extensive given the in-progress project on the site, even if that project is delayed.

beachdrivegirlParticipantnachos and a pitcher of beer on game day! Jiggers have I seen you there???

JiggersMemberI’m a reg their beachdrivegirl so maybe..I heard one year lease too.

Dalamar437MemberI checked with my wife to make sure I heard right. The owner definitely said 7 years on the lease. That’s strange that you guys heard 1 year.

WSBKeymasterI will check with the landlords tomorrow, but the project on the site has been proceeding through the permitting process – alley vacation, design review, etc. – and even if it did a “Hole Foods” – or if the site changed hands – 7 years is FOREVER. OTOH, anything’s possible! (And if anyone knows the owner and wants to invite them to come comment here, they are more than welcome!)

celeste17ParticipantOr better yet have them become a advertiser. We support our advertisers.

KeithMemberYay! And on the food front, their salmon sandwich is amazing.

ellenaterMemberAlso, Hells Belles are playing there Halloween Night. Highway to Hell and Back in black in their completeness. Oh YES. :)

JenVMembermajor soft spot for the Rocksport…that’s where the Big Hairy Boyfriend and I met eight years ago. :) Glad to hear they’re sticking around!

JiggersMemberWe need more single ladies hanging at the Rock. Bringing in boyfriends just doesn’t cut it.

Veteran WisdomMemberYou should try the Ceaser Steak wrap… can’t be beat. Come by on a Monday night and you can even play a game of free poker with a chance to win $50 cash from the bar!

bsmommaParticipantTURKEY DIP!!!! with BBQ sauce on the side and a side of sour cream for the fries…. YUMMMMMMM! Oh ya and Denise Rocks! :o)

ellenaterMemberDo they ever show soccer games. As in Liverpool?
October 2, 2009 at 6:31 am #678567
grrParticipantI’ve said it before..the Sport has one of THE best bacon cheesburger ANYWHERE.. and yes. Better than Zippys. Sorry.
October 2, 2009 at 5:10 pm #678568
villagegreenMemberellenater – they show Sounders games, but I’m not sure about Premier League games. Manchester United fans meet at the Corner Pocket to watch all games, so I think they’d turn on Liverpool for you. Or better yet, show up the next time Man U plays Liverpool a give those Red Devils fans a good heckling. Me, I’m an Arsenal guy :)

ellenaterMemberhaha, nice! Thanks!!
October 14, 2009 at 11:10 pm #678570
alywest63ParticipantHas anyone confirmed the 7 year lease with the rocksport? Or is their lease up in Dec. 2010
October 25, 2009 at 10:28 pm #678571
cy10MemberVillagegreen and ellenater: right on for soccer watchers! Now that I know there’s soccer watching there I will try to show up. Oh, and GO GUNNERS!!!
(Smiles to villagegreen)

luckymom30ParticipantI agree the bacon cheeseburger is yummy, we also enjoyed the heart stopping onion soup and tacos.

RBGMemberIt’s nice to read some of the positive posts here, apparently we need to be better at keeping up with social networking in our community!
To clarify the confusion regarding our lease… Our 7 year lease recently ended and we have now extended it through December of 2010 – and 2010 marks our 15th year here in the Junction, thanks to all of our great customers!
November 29, 2009 at 9:20 am #678574
WSBKeymasterThanks. That makes a lot more sense than the claims of a multiyear extension. Any time you have news to share, by the way, whether it’s a special event or oh say a future new location … editor@westseattleblog.com or 206/293-6302 any time. (Or post it directly here in the Forums!)
