“woodys is a great bar for good drinks and good conversation with friendly patrons“

“A quaint, calm, fulfilling vibe with a neighborhood feel- with simple cocktails and a welcoming ambiance. THANK YOU DANA for your gentleness, witty sense of humor and fantastic service. So glad we stumbled here, made friends and chatted it up. This place is one of a kind and I will be back!! Thank you.“

“The best Caprese Sandwich!“

“Calm vibe. Many regulars from the Shoreline/North city area. .ost are friendly & kind folks. The crowd here is also diverse. The digital jukebox is usually playing. Great staff of lady bartenders (occassionally a male bartender) that mix great drinks. Beers on tap are out numbered by those refridgerated, so ask.
Several TV screens, generally airing sports.
Food is very limited to snacks like warm pretzels, corn dogs, breakfast sandwhich and a couple other choices besides bags of chips. Sometimes venders book dates and make pizza or burgers in the evenings. Othertimes the bar host and encourage potlucks.
Free & safe cell phone charging.
A covered outside table & seating oversees parking.
Many pulltabs inside to play.
It's an old building with nothing trendy and so it's considered a dive bar.

Parking: Respect the staff parking.

Kid-friendliness: Nope. Thankfully

Wheelchair accessibility: Parking lot, bar entry, bar area tables and poo table all are. Bathrooms NOT, they are down 1 or 2 steps and woman's room too tight to a squeeze.“

“Great neighborhood location to eat on Queen Anne.“

“Great food and great staff. Always delicious beers and cocktails. Great plant based options.“

“The cocktails I had were amazing. Staff was awesome and very generous.“

“Such a fun place to grab a craft cocktail and some pho. The drinks were very unique and the pho was surprisingly very good. We also tried the Tofu Dip and the spring rolls. The dip was delicious but very rich and the spring rolls were very fresh. We definitely ordered too much food but it was delicious and a fun experience.“

“Very cool bar near Greenwood with delicious drinks. The bartenders are absolutely amazing and keep the vibes up in the already neat atmosphere. They went above and beyond to make each drink special. Comfy seats, clean bathroom, and various snack options. It is a small venue so better for groups of 4 or less.“

“We stopped by and ordered the carnitas fries and crab rangoons—both were seriously delicious. The fries were loaded and flavorful without being overly greasy, and the crab rangoons had that perfect crispy bite with a rich, creamy filling. You can tell they use quality ingredients and really care about what they’re serving.

The owners were incredibly friendly and welcoming—it felt like visiting a local spot where people actually care about their customers. Their energy really set the tone and made the experience even better.

We didn’t try the drinks this time, but they looked super creative and well put together—definitely coming back to try those. Plus, the location is perfect for enjoying a sunny Seattle day. Great food, great people, and a relaxed, fun vibe. Highly recommend!“

“This location is truly exceptional! The staff is outstanding, with Daniel standing out in particular. He went above and beyond to ensure my group had a fantastic experience. I highly recommend both the ambiance and the service, especially Daniel and his remarkable hospitality!“

“Delicious cocktails and eats, friendly neighborhood place. cozy, when you can go inside!“

“You must visit at least once! Cool decor, creative drinks, great food. Reservations recommended.“

“Wonderful place where meat eaters and vegans can delight in a delicious meal. Great wine section and craft cocktails. Quaint wine shop to bring something home or scoop a gift for a friend on the way to the party. Be sure to try the butter pickles!“

“Nataly is such a great gal! We were made to feel that they were happy to see us. We had a really fun night!“

“Excellent cocktail. Good vibe.“

“Love going to RGB every time we are in Seattle. This location just isn't it, though. The service is usually awkward and slow. Tables and floors were dirty this last visit. I'd still patron for the RGB, but it just doesn't compare to their Pike Place spot.“

“This is a superb bar. The drinks are made by a very friendly and knowledgeable staff who care about what they’re making as well as caring for the community and regulars who sit at their bar. This place is a masterclass in what cocktail bars should be. Also stop stealing the menus?“

“This place is a gem!! Great food and service! After attending a concert, my friends and I were hungry. They let us in even though they were closing soon. Told us not to rush and just enjoy. The grilled cheese was perfect! Definitely coming back here again!“

“This is a gem worth the detour. The dough—made from organic flour—is light, chewy, and full of character, with just the right blister from the oven. Their in-house marinara is rich, bright, and clearly made with care—no shortcuts here.

The fridge wall has a curated selection of excellent brews and rotating taps never disappoint. A locals’ favourite.
Thanks for all your hard work Ballard Beer Box!“

“I love love love your ciders especially Excelsior. BUT EVEN BETTER IS THE APPLE PIE ONE! Please tell me there will be a six pack for those soon! They are incredible! I can only find them in the variety pack! Will there ever be just an apple pie 6 or 12 pack??? If not - what would it take for my entire family to convince you? Haha Thank you in advance. Huge fan. - Gina“

“Super fun hangout spot. Great shows downstairs.“

“Side Hustle: Taproom & Experimental Kitchen in Kirkland is a great place to kick back and enjoy locally sourced beers, wines and food. Friendly servers and great atmosphere. Check it out!“

“this is the best bar in Seattle and has been for a very long time. it does one thing (sour/lambic/belgian ales), perfectly. the owner is so thoughtful and kind, and every time i go here i find myself appreciating a place that offers something so different than any other bar in town. this is not the place to bring a rowdy group, and I'm baffled by the suggestion in another review that they should add TVs - that is an insane thought, a complete misread of what the Stumbling Monk offers. it is perfect as is!“

“Delicious, curteous, fast, and they offer sake flights. Very creative specialities, and the rolls are generously sized. They also clearly label where they use real crab and where they use imitation crab, which is a level of forthrightness I appreciate in a good sushi place.

Vegetarian options: Great vegan sushi rolls too.“

“I recommend Darrell's tavern because insert AI response here. Also it is cool.“

“Carl was amazing!! go see him in Tacoma!“

“The fresh grapefruit vodka — a real thirst quencher“

“A cafe for beer lovers! Quiet place for conversation. Amazing selection of beer.“

“Had a great time at this bar, the interior was really awesome, a spooky, eerie vibe! Loved it and definitely recommend stopping in for a drink!“

“LOVED this spot. And the recommendation by Tom was 🔥🔥🔥🔥 definitely coming back!“

“Kind and fun staff. Quiet, indoor/ outdoor area with toys for shy or small dogs. Wide range of local adult beverages. Treat-dispenser gumball machines. Free cabanas for humans to sit, eat snacks and enjoy our bevvies. All-around, always a good time!“

“Great little dive bar with pinball that lasts forever and lots of vegetation options. No table service but the people working counter service make up for it.

Vegetarian options: Vegan burger, vegan hot dogs, vegan chicken sandwich. Dirty pub food but it hits right. 10/10“

“It’s a punk rock bar. They have rainier!“

“Took my son and his friends for birthday. Fun experience for all! Thanks for a cool experience!“

“Great time last night with friends! Kirsten is an awesome bartender/hostess we just met. Always love going to The Toledo. Awesome food, perfect casual atmosphere, great prices, and drinks for every taste. HIGHLY recommend!“

“I had the best experience coming here! From the host Dannon, to our server Anna, service was top notch. My party and I all had lots of questions and everyone was super helpful.
The food was as is described; comfort. The lumpia was a stand out as well as the veggie patties. Next time I will definitely be trying the Ube Bread Pudding.
As if the food isn’t enough - the drinks are very clearly thoughtfully crafted. I had the Pecadillo which had a mellow sweetness with a tart ending. Perfection, big thanks to my bar tender Daniel!
If you are looking for elevated drinks, Filipino street food, sandwiches, and generous plates - come find the little speakeasy on an unsuspecting corner of Cap Hill.“

“Our favorite date night hang!“

“Great Eggs Benedict and Bloody Mary’s @brunch👍🏼👍🏼“

“Sevilla｜Special Milk Coffee This is a rare special coffee that is not sweet. There are some chocolate chips at the bottom. Overall, it has a mellow cocoa flavor with some orange fragrance.“

“A nice little neighborhood bar that's tucked away just off the main drag. One of the few reasonably priced options left open in the area. You'll see a lot of long time locals there which is obviously a good thing.

Would def recommend if you're in the area and looking for a drink.“

“Amazing cocktail bar focused on the wide variety inherent in Amari - think things like Aperol and Campari and Montenegro and Averna and many many others, each unique, with a few loose styles. Jeff the bartender uses his encyclopedic knowledge of the range of Amari to craft inventive cocktails. Even if you aren’t normally a bitter palate person give it a go.“

“existing. *facebook wants more chars, so here they are...“

“Stopped in with a friend to play some pinball on Wednesday 8/23/23. Pinball map was pretty accurate regarding pins on location, and the games we played were in good condition, spaced out well, and most had cupholders or tables close by. There were the requisite 40"-50" TVs playing sports set up around the bar, but they were not the center of attention - this isn't a sports bar. There were 4-5 pool tables, and all were busy by the time we left for the Ice Box around 9 PM. Stiff well drinks, a decent selection of beer, etc., and decent prices for the area. I like the square wooden-framed ~25'x25' area around the bar, away from the pinball and pool - it was kind of cozy and they had a corner with a mic set up for...music or karaoke or stand-up, or something else I guess. New owners revamped this place in late 2021 or early 2022, and they kept the dive bar atmosphere, but really cleaned the place up. No yucky smells, and I didn't feel like I had to wash my hands after I left. I know that's not a high bar, but I what I mean was that it was a pleasant and unpretentious place to hang out. Didn't try any food - maybe next time. Sorry, no pictures this time!“

“Amazing food and staff was great!“

“Great service and phenomenal food! The best wood fired pizza anywhere!“

“Loved this place so much! I consider quiting my teaching job and opening a ginger beer stand! Joking, but I would be a regular if a place like this existed in my hometown.
I was so happy when the bartender offered me to try a few varieties before I could make a choice. I settled on the pink guava, which was litely sweet and refreshing.“

“Awesome little place with great staff. Gavin made us feel like we were regulars and made a perfect Negroni for me. 10 out of 10“

“The food is so good you'll punch your own face.“
