Stopped in for some food and it was decent, just your average bar food. The bartender was super nice and welcoming. Plenty of dogs walking around enjoying themselves and saying hi to everyone. Ambiance was pretty dive bar esk but nice. Would stop in for a beer again but maybe pass on the food.

Great local place if you love a low key bar. I only visit once a year during the Christmas holidays, so I visit walking up the hill from Market Street to Loyal Heights where my family lives. It's the Cheers bar of the area:). If I lived there I would be there way too often!

Great neighborhood local - excellent beers and a liquor selection typically only found at pompous douche bag joints. The regulars are super welcoming and the bartenders pour heavy Apparently pinball is popular and the food is upper tier for bar food (ask for Coach's sauce on the wings - damn great!) They also put on University of Montana football games when you ask - tremendous! Go Griz!

i’ve lived in the neighborhood for a couple years and up until this last summer (during the afternoon 4 or 5pm) it was a decent place for a drink and pinball. I went to get quarters and the change machine got jammed with my 5 dollar bill. so i went to the bar to let someone know, so i wait to get the bartenders attention. He was taking a couple orders first, I had no problem waiting. I didnt go to the other side and get in line since i was not ordering a drink or food i was there just to play a few games. so after the line cleared a few more people come up and i thought he was going to help me out. so i waited, again no big deal i had no issue waiting a little longer. then he turns to me with his jaw clenched and visibly upset and screamed at me to go wait in line. i quote this cranky old man “if you order at the bar i wont have to run back and forth!!” and continues to yell at me. I had to fight to get a word in jest to tell him the machine is jammed. then he yells at a guy sitting at the bar to go fix it really aggressively. after getting screamed at i just left. And whats really annoying about all this if i sat in the seat that i was standing behind he would have had to come over anyways. and i lost 5 dollars.

This place is absolute magic in Ballard. Tom is very cool. Food is very affordable. People are interesting for sure. 5/5
Great pinball machines, atmosphere was fun and not a young crowd I would say. I am 33 and felt like I was in the perfect environment for my age and level of intoxication. Would definitely recommend for a chill Friday avoiding a huge crowd. Bartender was extremely kind and had all the answers. Did not eat food so I cannot review that piece professionally

Amazing food, especially for a low key bar. Nachos are some of the best in the city. They often do a specialty burger which are generally amazing.

Not a very diverse place. Definitely didn't feel welcomed there.
