Really cool spot. Didn't eat here but good, cheap drinks. Also a great location and super cool vibe.

Stopped for a drink on our way down to Pikes place. Pretty cool place. I like the decor. Drinks are fun names. I got the pink eye drink and it was really good.

I've been staring at this eyeball light/sign for 7 years and finally went in. It's just ok.

My friend and I wanted to grab dinner and drinks before a show at the Crocodile. None of the cocktails were particularly interesting and while the menu had one or two interesting items, there wasn't much you can't find elsewhere. My friend got a pasta dish and enjoyed it. I got a quesadilla , which are hard to mess up. But it was a pretty small one for the price and they charged me extra for a salsa refill that probably came from a jar. I don't know, it just wasn't that great. I'd get something else if I return.

Service was weird because when we first came in, the bartender was very attentive. But as more people came into the establishment, we were quickly forgotten. They only had two other staff members that were also working in the kitchen, so it was impossible to flag them down. We never got the bartender's attention again and I had to get up from the table multiple times and walk over to the kitchen to get extra salsa, a water glass, and the check. It wasn't even that crowded. I don't know if it was an off night or if staffing is always this minimal.

Quirky interior that is pretty Seattle, with a glass panther collection, license plates, velvet art, and retro tables.

If you don't mind paying the prices for okay food then this is an alright spot to go before or after a show. It's convenient and has local flavor. But my meal felt very utilitarian, the service was not good, and I can't say I am rushing to come back.

playing punk music, serving great food, and their house / namesake IPA one of the best west coast IPA’s I’ve ever had. bleu cheese burger was perfect. side salad was better than most bars ever have. sweet potato fries were ideal taste and texture and the dipping sauce is exactly what I was craving.

I only wish the music was a tiny bit louder bc their selection was incredible.

Wednesday 10/22. Had to wait for over 20 min cuz bartender was at the crocodile show next door. Server ended up pouring me a drink and under poured it for a double. Bartender came back and over poured my second double… kitchen closed early.
Also got charged $66 for two doubles GnT w/ Hendrix…. One bottle of Hendrix like $30-$40, crazy. Terrible experience

This place is overpriced, and the bartender is rude.

10$ for only one beer?! It's almost like cover charge. But, there is no live music here. It is not a club, but just a plain bar.

This ranks as one of the worst bar experiences I have ever had... why, it's like 10$ was just stolen from me.

I recommend avoidance for everyone.

Everything else aside, the bar theme seems a racial sleight blue-eyed people.

I don't think it is an appropriate setting for racially sensitive group meetings.

It's basically just a plain bar, overpriced and with rude treatment for customers. There is no win going here.

One of the Baristas cut me off while I was trying to park. Then talked about it to her other coworkers. Don’t go here rude service, and is atmosphere was uncomfortable after that. I don’t recommend at all. The whole experience made the food/drink not enjoyable.
