Super fun "dive" bar! The ambiance is immaculate, lots of effort has been put into the creation of this comfortable watering hole. If nautical nonsense be something you wish, then come here! ? Drinks are of average quality and food is typical bar food. Service was a little slow, but seemingly understaffed. Plenty of midweek events that we'll be back for.

I loved the music, the ambiance, and the drinks. I can see why they get busy here. As the night progresses, it becomes more of a party scene. The food is amazing at the Salty Shack, and the drinks are reasonably priced. I loved the nautical theme and quirky decor throughout. I came here on accident, thinking they were Inside Passage, but I'm glad we checked it out. I recommend it for dates, groups, and especially for the late-night party scene if that's your thing.

Why does the kitchen close so early on weekends...? Drinks are not too competitively priced.

Love love love this place. So well managed. Everyone is incredibly friendly and well organized. I lost my bracelet a few weeks ago and they were able to find it for me! I owe them so many hardy tips, the bracelet had my great-grandmother's diamond on it. I was utterly shocked when they got it back to me. Thank you so so much to whoever found it. Overall, I can't recommend this place enough. My favorite bar in all of Seattle. They always have something fun going on everyday of the week. I even was a vendor at one of their art markets and had huge success- more than any I've done before. And don't even get me started on how good the food is. I swear I crave their chili tots every other day haha.

My favorite "Coaches Corner " I love this place, it's funky, fun and they play the best music. Drinks are great. We have kicked it here. Dancing and having a great time. Roll through, and you will be surprised.

Fun dive bar. Good for quick eats. Plenty of beer and cocktails made to order. The bar is themed like an episode of SpongeBob with life perseveres and bouys hanging everywhere. There is a couple of fish tanks as well. The staff is really nice and the drinks come out quick. It’s located in a great area in Wallingford that is easily accessible from the university district, Fremont, Ballard, and downtown. I would highly recommend this spot for a night out with friends or a quick drink in a date.Dietary restrictions: You can ask the bartenders to modify the dishes when you order.Parking: You’ll have to find parking on the street which is feee for up to two hours at a time.Kid-friendliness: I would recommend bring kids into the bar. It has more of a dive bar feel to it.Wheelchair accessibility: The building is on the first floor and is wheelchair accessible from the street. The area within the bar should be easy to navigate if is not too busy.

Went here with some friends. It was cool until the chubby server in the Jean short shorts was a complete a hole. There is this funky little sailor steering wheel gadget on the counter. I thought it was cool but apparently it’s not okay to touch. Like why is it out anyways? Either way. I’m fine with anyone saying it’s not okay to touch but this guy was a complete a hole about it. Never again. Some many other places to go

Best decor ever! The only bar I've ever been to that has a fish tank! They manage to make the most random decorations fit together! Trivia night is fun!
