The TV is color faded which would be the only saving grace. There isn’t any food so you come here to watch games and play pool, but the TV is blue. It’s a dive bar, I guess but there are other (and better) dive bar options

John told us to leave the second we showed up. He was consistently mean to our group through the night and was standoff ish when we needed to close out.

I don’t know what’s going on with one of the bartenders, John?, but he was an absolute downer. He complained the entire time we were in line about being busy and overworked. Then, he proceeded to charge me $11 for a bottle of Bud Light after I spent several minutes trying to calm him down. I rarely leave reviews, but this experience was bad enough that I felt I had to say something.

The bartender John was having an absolute hissy fit this weekend bc he was apparently the only one working on a busy night… up charged us on our bill. Will be disputing the charge with our bank. What a scam.

The karaoke disc Jockey could not have been more rude for no reason. It’s like he enjoys it. Lighten up dude.

Jon is a rude and racist bartender who tried to pick on my friend. 0/10 was not a great time.

Too many accusations of staff being rude to GOOD people. Not spending another dollar there.

Falsely and accused me of starting violence and called the police, was adhered to by, Klalt # 8452, Hardy #8958, and Dupree#8954… who didn’t feel it was justified to pursue the investigation!@Redonion your biased business practices will be rectified ?

There’s a bartender who seems to enjoy antagonizing women, and has made me and others extremely uncomfortable and unwelcome. If I recall his name is John? It really ruins the service and obviously, makes it an unsafe environment for women and AFAB people. Basically if you are not male presenting don’t come here unless you want to be targeted with rude comments and aggressive behavior. Haven’t seen this kind of behavior towards male presenting guests.

The two tall bartenders are awful and rude. Went here for a drink and asked for a seltzer. He brought me soda water and I said “oh no sorry I meant a canned seltzer” and he brought back one, shook it at me and said “THESE ARE CALLED WHITE CLAWS. YOU CALLED THEM A SELTZER. THEYRE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS”. So I confusingly said sorry, then im and the other bartender start talking about how dumb I am infront of me and “can’t believe” how stupid my order was. I used to come here all the time but since these two jerks are on staff I’ve been avoiding it. Wish there was a way to get the old place back.

Hit them up in Saturday for karaoke and a great time. One of the “old Seattle” gems left. It’s a neighborhood bar. Two pool tables. Bar nuts available.

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE BARTENDER! beware of this guy (photo included) he works there and made me and my friends feel SO uncomfortable and unsafe at the end of the night putting his body way to close to us. Definitely was looking for a fight and had some very unstable and abusive energy. Owners I would think twice about keeping this sketchy dude on your staff….. I see a lot of other reviews mentioning the same person.
