About us

The Swinging Doors was established in May of 1981. With only a few employees to start, owners Bob and Barb Materne turned a small pizza parlor into a huge restaurant that offers the best sports viewing in town. Now with over 40 employees, they continue to be the best sports bar in Spokane.

A family owned business, The Swinging Doors has been a part of Spokane for over 30 years. Our restaurant offers huge portions and a wonderful atmosphere second to none in the Spokane area. Our sports bar has over 50 TVs to watch all your favorite sports, as well as Golden Tee, pull tabs and pinball, bumper shuffleboard, and much more.

The Swinging Doors has become the place to be. Whether it's catching your favorite sporting event on one of our many televisions, eating the breakfast, lunch or dinner you've been craving, or meeting your friends, The Swinging Doors is definitely your place to meet, eat, and have fun!
