Two glass-clad hydraulic doors open Sam's Tavern in Seattle to outside dining
Sam's Tavern Pike Street bar in Seattle is acclaimed for its renowned USA Today endorsed Bakon Bloody Mary and great food. The restaurant and bar opened early this year as part of a newly constructed 13-story office building. The bar has two Schweiss 11'8" x 9' hydraulic glass-clad doors that open to an outside patio area.
Sam's Tavern, a new Pike Street, South Lake Union bar and restaurant in Seattle, WA has been described as a "Woodsy, Whimsical Bar," a name that pays homage to the original Red Robin founding family location near the University Bridge. It's here at this location where you will find great food and a Bloody Mary hailed by USA Today as one of the top seven places in the U.S.; Seattle Weekly "People's Choice" also hailed it as the Mount Rushmore of Seattle Bloody Mary's.
“The hydraulic door with its low headroom clearance is very useful. The door has a cool industrial look to it with minimal side room support needed and has an architectural feel that at the same time can be clad anyway you want. A lot of what these doors do is give the architect the freedom to design the appearance. If you want to choose something that is structurally glazed and/or with metal cladding, perforated panels or to create something unique, your door gives the architect the freedom to use the bifold or hydraulic door as a canvas - you're providing a frame for a canvas.”
- Jon Bennion, Project Manager
Crawford Door, LLC, Washington
Sam's Tavern Bloody Mary Masterpiece comes topped with a cheesy slider, and lives up to its name of Sam's Bakon Bloody Masterpiece. It's literally a meal in itself; never short on accompaniments, with celery, pickles, pickled asparagus, pepper jack cheese cubes, li'l smokies, and a mini-cheeseburger on a stick. They use Bakon brandname vodka, which adds a smokiness to the taste.
Their tasty menu also includes breakfast selections, a wide assortment of gourmet burgers, sandwiches, salads, chili, Mexican food and more. Party reservations are available at both locations for groups larger than 10 people.
Owner James Snyder promises good burgers and energetic environs that pay tribute to the original Red Robin. Snyder is the son and the nephew of the first two Red Robin franchisees. Snyder bedecked the space in wood reclaimed from an old cold storage facility.
Two Schweiss hydraulic doors open to an outside courtyard giving the establishment additional seating. The hydraulic doors are clad in glass and can be opened even on rainy days to keep patrons dry while enjoying the outdoor patio area. Each custom-made door is 11'8.75" wide by 9' tall and has electric photo eye sensors. The hydraulic pumps that run the strong Schweiss cylinders are mounted inside the building near the doors.
Each of the side-by-side hydraulic doors at Sam's Tavern can be run independently of each other and stopped safely at any level.
The doors were installed by Crawford Door, LLC of Lynnwood, WA; a company that also installed decorative Schweiss bifold liftstrap doors on the Pike Motorworks apartment building in Seattle and numerous other bifold doors at other locations.
Jon Bennion of Crawford Door was project manager, overseeing door work and other aspects for the new building. Crawford Door also has a subsidiary company called interiorTech; a Washington and Oregon specialty contractor that provides architectural specifications, product Information and contractor services; they also had a hand in the door design.
"We worked with the design exterior package with the General Contractor, Turner Construction; how the doors were going to look and line up and match the exterior, as well as the structural support. It was Crawford Door that recommended and installed the hydraulic doors for Sam's Tavern," said Bennion. "They went with our recommendation of hydraulic doors to open up an outdoor seating area."
Turner Construction is a North America-based, international construction services company and is a leading builder in diverse market segments. The company has earned recognition for undertaking large, complex projects
"The original plan was to mount the hydraulic pump motors on the ceiling, but there wasn't enough room so they were mounted above the brick pillars alongside the doors inside the building," noted Bennion.
"The hydraulic door with its low headroom clearance is very useful. The door has a cool industrial look to it with minimal side room support needed and has an architectural feel that at the same time can be clad anyway you want," added Bennion. "A lot of what these doors do is give the architect the freedom to design the appearance. If you want to choose something that is structurally glazed and/or with metal cladding, perforated panels or to create something unique, your door gives the architect the freedom to use the bifold or hydraulic door as a canvas - you're providing a frame for a canvas."
Bennion said he would recommend Schweiss doors to anyone. He commended Brent at Schweiss Doors, saying his expertise was extremely helpful. Brent redid drawings numerous times and he said the client was very pleased with the final outcome.
