Billy McHales - Federal Way (WA)

5 /5 Cody Harris: My wife and I come over for drinks or food when we want to go out late. Weve tried a variety of dishes and the food is fine. Ive had very good foods and some subpar items but one thing is certain, when they stick to classic bar or pub food like burgers or fried foods (the onion loaf, or calamari) they hit the mark and we leave satisfied. I always prefer a restaurant be recognized for its core items than one item I may not have enjoyed. The highlights to me of Billy McHales is the drink/beer selection, the staff and the atmosphere. I love the pool tables and small arcade selection inside. Theyve also got a good selection of brews on tap from light, dark and amber. The staff are friendly and check in often on how you are doing especially at the bar. If youre looking for a good drink, I day stop in and check it out.

5 /5 Scott Best: This is one of our favorite restaurants in Federal Way. We came in on Sunday and watched part of the NFC Championship game. They have lots of screens in the restaurant and bar. We got the onion loaf as an appetizer. It was delicious and cooked to perfection. I had the prime rib dip, and my wife had the Philly cheese steak sandwich. My sister-in-law had the turkey club. Everything was served hot and fast. All the sandwiches were overloaded with meat and the club had thick lean bacon. The server was very friendly and accommodating. We come here about once a month and have never been disappointed.

5 /5 Maria Benjamin: Billy McHale’s has one of those happy hours that actually delivers. Great food and drink deals, including a $10 burger that’s hard to beat. The chicken wings were really good and well-seasoned, and the onion ring loaf is an absolute must-order. Solid portions, good value, and a fun spot to hang out. Definitely worth coming by for happy hour.

1 /5 Miranda Raine: The manager here is atrocious. The last time I went, he harassed me about my service dog and said she was not wearing the proper vest. According to him, the FDA in King county requires a specific vest for service dogs. He could not provide where this information could be found when I asked. He continued to argue with me when I informed him that federal law does not require service dogs to wear a vest. He said next time he would not allow me to stay if my dog did not have the proper vest. I should note this is not the first time hes given me a hard time about my service dog. I did check to see if King county and the FDA within King county had laws regarding vests and service dogs. I was not surprised to find that on both websites they stated specifically that they did not dictate for service dogs to wear any particular vest since federal law does not require service dogs to be vested. It also noted that businesses cannot ask to see certifications of service dogs. I did end up showing him her certificate that night because he didnt seem to believe me that she was a service dog. I have filed a report with the ADA and Im hoping that it will prompt him to rethink how he treats people with disabilities. He did this in front of several witnesses which was quite stressful for me and embarrassing. He initially asked what she was trained for and I did inform him he could ask about her tasks but not my disability. I informed him of the tasks that she was trained for when he started to berate me about her vest. I am more than happy to provide the links to both King county and the FDA within King county that specify that they do not require service dogs to wear specific vests because federal law does not require such a thing. He essentially made this up in order to give me a hard time about my dogs vest. By the way, my dogs vest says assistance dog instead of service dog. I should also point out that in Europe, they use the term assistance dog. My dog and I travel extensively so thats how I know this information. If you have any disabled family members or are disabled yourself, beware that you may be discriminated against.
