The Point Bar & Grill-Adrian Abed

Adrian Abed, co-owner of The Point Bar and Grill

Adrian gave his classification talk at our November 30 meeting.  He was born in 1982 in Monroe.  His father is Iranian.  Parents separated when he was 2 years old.  Mom worked at Denny’s and he spent a lot of time there.  Mom remarried when he was 7 years old.  He had issues with his step-father making it a difficult childhood.

Adrian left home and went into foster care before moving in with his great aunt and uncle in Mountlake Terrace.  Adrian dropped out of high school and started working in restaurants.  When he turned 21 he went to work as a bouncer at pub/bars and was given the nickname "A Train".  Learned the industry from the managers he worked with.  

Adrian is married and has two children (11 and 6).  He owes a debt of gratitude to his previous managers, wife, and great-aunt and uncle.  He and his partner looked around and purchased a bar in Kirkland that they renamed the Dub Pub. It catered a lot to U of W and Seahawk fans.  It had 50 televisions.  Because of lease issues, they sold the Dub Pub and looked for a place further north where growth is occurring.

Adrian and his partner purchased Razzals Sports Bar in Smokey Point six months ago.  They want to turn the pub into something more than a bar.  As part of their plan they changed the brand.  The name has been changed to The Point Bar and Grill.  

Now there are 40 televisions making it a great location to watch college and professional sports.  Plans are to expand the number to 50 televisions and to have a great menu for families during the day with more of a bar atmosphere at night.  To see more, including the menu, click HERE.
