Popped in for a beer before going to a movie over at the Regal 14. Comfy little neighborhood bar!

Ended up here on a random weekday night to grab drinks and food before a game. And we were extremely disappointed.. like laughable disappointment. The bar and restrooms are clean. Small parking lot in behind the building and there's a pool table in the back corner of the bar. It's a nice local bar but you also feel that "see a new face, give a stink face" service that I'm noticing Seattle local bars/restaurants do a lot. The food is mediocre to disgusting. It is made by the bartender (which we wish we knew beforehand). Just from that knowledge, you already picture a certain quality of food. It was actually worst than we thought it'd be. We ordered drinks, Mac n cheese, hot dog & chips, and their special homemade recipe of Swedish meatballs. We were excited to taste all of it and were super hungry. Skip the meatballs, it tasted worst than Walmart brand meatballs. It had an obvious cardboard and processed texture and taste. They tried to mask it with mash potatoes but the quality of the mash potatoes couldn't be hidden. The only thing that saves the meal throughout was the garlic bread. If you're lit, the food won't matter but you'll definitely feel it on the toilet later. The hot dog and chips came 10mins after the rest of the food came and that was kinda lame. It was the fasted thing to make but still had to wait for awhile for a simple dish. Plus it was just potato chips, not fries so what's taking so long.

My favorite Seattle bar - this has been my go-to spot for years. Clean, unpretentious woman-owned neighborhood tavern with friendly bartenders and excellent nachos.

Cody Lind

Great neighborhood bar. Great food, cold beer.

David Terry

Decent food and beer selection. The air fryer nachos with real cheese are pretty tasty. Pool table is in a room that's a bit too small, but its free, so it's fine.

Classis dive. Locally owned. Check out Taco Tuesday, or literally any day of the week.

It's a small local tavern where many people know each other. Long time local owners and stable friendly staff.

I've known the owner for years, I like to stop by now and then for a good conversation

The Juke box, the food, the decor, the customers and the conversation hasn't changed in 30 years. They are very strict about virus safety, unless you are sitting at the bar. It's weird. I think you should drink and immediately put your mask back on.
