“One of the neighborhood bars!! My mom used to hang out there and bartended for a while and that was my first time there since 2001. It was really nice, very relaxing. The atmosphere was really nice and everybody was very friendly and the bartender was great. Thank you, Mel and all the people to Caroline that “
“Awesome dive bar with cheap beer. We ordered apps (mozz sticks and nachos), which were amazing. Fun atmosphere with college football on the TVs. Also, they have pinball and a few arcade games. I will definitely be coming back to watch more UW games!“
“Quintessential Bar and Grill in the Heart of Tangletown. Flip Flop and Crocs kind of place. Don't expect to sip a fancy cocktail while enjoying hors d'overs. This is draft beer at a perfect temperature. Unpretentious food and super friendly service with a few well placed TVs showing local sports. Great place.“
“The Waterwheel Lounge is such a special place, it was one of the first places I've fallen in love with in Seattle WA. This "Cheers-like" bar has karaoke Thursday - Saturday 9:30pm to 1:30am and Sunday 7:30pm to 12:30am. Such a great spot to meet locals and sing your heart out.“
“Great spot as both a guest and as a performer. Great service, clean bathroom, fun event space, convenient location and great people. I love places where you can expand your community and actually connect with people. This is one of those places. Sundays offer coffee if you’re looking for that.“
“What can you say about this American institution? Some of the best live punk and alt music in the country. Darrell’s is a survivor and a thriver. It’s been serving the community ear candy for decades and has thankfully dogged the wrecking ball so far. With a full bar and a pool table, what more do you need?“
“This is a total dive bar but the people here are regulars and they make you feel at home including the bartender. Truly an amazing place. Extra bonus. They allow dogs inside the place. Super extra points. They don't have food but they allow you to bring food from “
“This is a great local spot! The staff is very nice, the menu (both drink and food) is simple but well done, and the atmosphere is a nostalgia filled and dark. They have a stack of VHS tapes, games to play, and a pinball machine in the back. I love it here!“
“A great place for food, drinks, and pinball! To start, the staff are very friendly and quick getting your order. The ambiance is retro but has a chill vibe to it. For the food, there is a variety of options and the smash burger was absolutely fantastic packed with flavor. Also had chicken salad and the mozzarella sticks, both fantastic. Lastly, don't forget to play some pinball as they have some awesome machines to play on.“
“I had the pleasure of going here last night with my neighbors. We hadn’t found our local watering hole since moving here about a year ago. Well, last night we fixed that problem!The Reservoir is probably the coolest neighborhood bar around. When you walk in, you walk into a huge room with pool tables, a tall wood bar, good music, and friendly staff.We got our drinks and headed out back to the patio area. There was a grassy area, a shed with a very large tv in it, a covered smoking area and picnic tables under a separate covered area.We met the owner who was such a nice lady. We learned that they’d just reopened after a series of setbacks that took 5 months to fix! She was very proud of being able to take care of her employees during that time and I really admired that about her. You could really tell how deeply she loves her bar that’s been in her family since 1991.Haven’t gone into the Reservoir? CHANGE THAT AND GO!!! You’re gonna have a blast.“
“Really great place, love Taylor the bartender, she is super nice and makes great drinks. Her dog is awesome, makes a great vibe.Very comforting and inviting place, it is far from being against any communities, everyone is treated nice and equally.As a minority I feel welcomed and safe, love the diversity here. Thank you!“
“I moved to a new place overlooking Echo Lake and was pleasantly pleased to discover this neighborhood watering hole! When I was trying to get my Xfinity wireless working with my cell, I was able to download the app using Woodie's WiFi.“
“Grrrrrreat atmosphere! Karaoke, trivia, bingo, on weekdays food until 1 am.Always great service, music ,pool playing, sports On screen t v's 360° of viewing, dedicated fridge full of various jello shots, and just about every kind of liquor under the sun! I do wish they had coverage on their outdoor seating area, however, especially if it's raining. Dogs are allowed is a major plus! Perfect neighborhood bar! ?? ??✌️? ???????? ?Vegetarian options: Any burger they have on their list can go with a veggie patty!? ???????????Wheelchair accessibility: Ezee peezee...“
“This is one of my favorite venues in town. I legit do not know if they serve food and the bar service is standard. However the venue is great, and the decor is as well.Parking: Like all of Ballard better not to drive if you don't have to.“
“It was a busy game night, men's basketball, UW vs Gonzaga. The beer line moved fairly quickly, the food took a bit longer than normal, but once received tasted great. The staff did their best to keep up & provide updates when needed. If you're a bit tight on money, keep in mind you can still get an $8 pitcher here from the "Husky tap". It's the champagne of beers, Miller High Life!“
“This place had all the markings of a typical dive bar. There were plenty of TVs to watch sports and a couple of pool tables. The interior was dimly lit with more tables and seating in the back. It was a neighborhood bar with a lot of locals and frequent barflys.Their website said that their happy hour is from 4-7pm but when we arrived at 6pm the bartender said it was actually 4-6pm. She told us though that "it's not happy hour but our stuff is cheap anyway" which was a funny exchange and gave us a chuckle. She was right though because wells were $5 and the Moscow mule was $8 (although it was just okay).We played pool, watched some TV, and just hung out. It was a cool vibe.“
“The food is what late night Chinese should taste like and the service is thoughtful though when it's crowded late at night for karaoke, you need to flag the server down. The bartenders are great. The ambience is exactly what it should be for a dive karaoke bar -- complete with neon lights, and a raucous and supportive crowd. The KJ is great and singing starts at nine. There is some serious talent and amazing stage names like Maximus Hubris. A couple sang a song by evanescence and just brought the house down. This is the kind of place you go with friends and it brings everybody's best ambitions out. They use a QR code for the songs. There is free parking in the lot.“
“Harvey's is your typical neighborhood bar. The drinks are good, but what distinguishes this establishment are the bartenders. One bartender, in particular by the name of Keili, is super friendly and makes you feel welcome, at ease, and at home. I will definitely be returning to this establishment.“
