I really like this place. Not sure why it doesn't come up easily on Google Maps - literally had to search by name and not just "beer" or "bar". I feel like it's a bit of a hidden gem. Friendly service, good beers, and I love the upstairs. One of my favorite little spots around. Quiet, dark wood and portholes. Feels like I'm in a ship. Would recommend.

Thank you Mars and Luke for a great time ??! My friends and I were in the neighborhood and wanted to shoot some pool, we heard about this spot so we checked it out. The pool table is up in this great loft space above with a shuffle board ?. Lots of space for watching games or having a fun party ?. Come check it out for yourself ??

One of the best old places left. I used to come here in early 2000's. Guess that makes me old, but good to see it still there.

We came here to watch college football on a Friday night. We got there a little before 5 for a 515 kickoff. It was perfect timing as we found a good spot but it filled up very quickly. You order at the bar and food is brought to you with a number system. It's typical bar food. And they have a lot of drink options. Everyone that worked there was really nice and helpful even during a very busy night. There are tons of tvs and even an outdoor space with tvs. There are two floors so don't be deterred if you don't find space on the first floor.

Good atmosphere, friendly staff, but was a little put off by the last second added gratuity on the bill. I typically tip well, but once I got my card charged out they told me they added an extra 20% on fight nights without telling us beforehand. I thought that wasn’t cool. Was not aware that they did that for fight nights, nor did I see signs that they would add gratuity on top of the cover charge.

Was in town for to hang out with friends and watch a game. Google suggested the place. I wouldn't recommend, Bad service, took forever to get served at the bar. Let's not mention the horrible food. We wasted money on that yucky burger. Please don't order food here. At least they were nice enough to come change the channel to the game we wanted to watch.

Great place to watch the game! They have them all on, especially local teams, and will try to switch to the game you want. Amazing staff and really good food! Indoor and patio seating! Dog friendly! Pool table upstairs! Perfect place to hangout on an evening or a weekend!
It's a local sports bar. 5 stars for playing the Steelers. It's not fancy but it wasn't crowded, good beer, and I enjoyed myself.

One of the few sports bars with NFL package to watch football on Sundays. They make an effort to have on every game, and will switch around what game is on what tv based on who's there. I've only been for sports games watching, but seems like they do a number of other fun things at night.

Very rude bartender. We ordered 2 baskets of onion rings and when food was brought to the table we were missing a basket we brought it to her attention and she rudely replied “we just went over this” and waved her hand in my face. Then when we were asked why we didn’t tip. I am a server. My friends are also in that industry we understand how hard things can be but we also know to never disrespect customers. Good luck getting good service here if you chose to go. Carly I hope you have a better day.

Place smells the way it looks. Rude bartender, Carly, who doesn't wash her hands but stills makes direct contact with items you put in your mouth. Was asked why we didn't tip by the owner. Maybe because we received poor service?. I'm a server, I know people have bad days but we were polite up until Carly tried snapping at us young girls assuming we wouldn't stand up for our selves. Don't work in the service industry, be an a******* and have your boss ask us why we didn't tip. A tip isn't necessary but a privilege. I won't pay extra to be given attitude for no reason. If one thing Carly and the owner have it's the audacity. Humble yourselves. And at least wipe down the tables.

Lots of TVs for watching sports and a lot of seats so usually easy to find a spot. But the layout of the space doesn't build a great atmosphere. The space is generally dirty and run down feeling. Taplist is okay but not as many options as most places in Ballard.
