Patrons and staff recognized Sarkisian at Seattle-area establishments such as The Ram near campus, Edgewater Hotel, 520 Bar and Grill, Roanoke Inn, Joey Bellevue as well as the Duchess. He was also said to be a frequent presence at two establishments that are now closed: Citrus and Joey Lake Union.
Two former Washington players said they encountered Sarkisian at the Edgewater on Seattle's waterfront during a 2011 concert by local musician Tess Henley.
One of the players, who worked as a bartender at another establishment, said they bumped into Sarkisian and a team staffer in the packed bar. The player described the coach as "clearly … wasted." The other player said Sarkisian hugged him, offered to buy him a drink and was "definitely drunk."
The same player said Sarkisian drank "copious amounts of Patron" amounting to "between eight and 10 shots" over several hours during weekly visits to Citrus on Lake Union.
