A real big slice of the American pie , not many places left like this . The OG who owns the place creates the vibe along with the country music and great beer that comes in an amazing plastic

Reminds me of a small town, Midwest beer bar -- hasn't changed since the 60s and that's why people like it. Friendly and quick service. Lively, eclectic crowd but not too crowded. Stop by for beer and a band on a Friday night! They also have a good selection of wine.

Look, this bar is open ONE DAY A WEEK. It's a passion project of the owner. He's an older guy who can work a crowd of regulars or new comers with easy. I've passed the place probably thousands of times since living in Seattle. I had a sincerely magical experience going in for the first time. This place is no frills, but all substance. If you want to be known and know others, this is your spot. If you want to experience the authenticity of your local scene, this is THE place.

Perfect dive bar in the rainy seattle vibe. People at the bar were great , the cute old man is a heart stealer with his quirky acts. Great live music to dance and people watching . I would have given 6 stars if they have more than beer and wine but worth a visit

Love this place. Good people and excellent service. Hearing a live band in this mellow atmosphere is pretty amazing.

Tami Wolff

Best live music in Seattle, owned by a true son of Seattle!

Absolute delight. Get there before the band to speak to the owner. He's an absolute delight. Only open Fridays
