surprised so many have had bad experiences. i've been here dozens of times, and yeah, its a dive bar - don't expect prompt and friendly service - but good beers are $5.50 (which insanely, is almost half price in this town anymore), and there's actually legit baseball fans who like to go here and watch the Mariners! its so refreshing that a few places like this still exist. obviously, its not for everyone.

Didn’t let us in on our cousins wedding night because we had out of state IDs, youngest of us was 23. No grace, horrible atmosphere, worse people.

My daughter and 5 friends, all in their mid-twenties went to the Red Onion on August 23. Two of the 6 (both women) ended up in the hospital, unable to walk on their own or speak coherently and threw up within 5 minutes of receiving a drink directly from the hands of the bartender. One of the woman had just gotten off work and the glass of red wine was her only alcoholic beverage consumed all evening. Luckily these women had good friends ready to step in and help them get medical attention.

Came in for a drink with my husband and son since it was my birthday. Bartender was rude and seems intoxicated. Didn’t want to serve us. I usually don’t write bad reviews because as a small business owner I understand how hard it is to run a business. However, I feel that I should say something so other customers are aware. We walked out without ordering anything and went down the block and received much better service.

I would rate this place -5 stars if I could. Dirty and gross, the bar tenders are blatantly rude and unfriendly. If I were the owner I would seriously reconsider the current staffing if they want to keep their business open. Do not spend your money here.

This place holds a very special place in my dad's heart and I am glad I got to go. Smells like beer, but clearly has loads of loyal regulars and I heard the pizza oven is a great feature when it is working.

Bartender was yelling at people, myself included. Don’t normally leave reviews but this was honestly insane. Also the oven was unfortunately down so no food.

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.
