“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.“

“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!“

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

“As bar food goes, this place ranks on top. Finding anything in Seattle that isn't over priced is difficult. Good fried seafood at a great price in a small neighborhood bar.“

“Very friendly and fun place to drink, play pool, or just kick back and listen to the jukebox.“

“Love this place!!! It’s a great neighborhood pub with everything you’d want—GREAT staff (Bekkah, Ellie, and Joe are big reasons why we keep coming back), fun trivia nights, karaoke, and special events about once per month. Wide variety of rotating taps, liquor, wine, hard seltzers, and clever Jell-O shot creations. Brunch on weekends and tasty apps/ lunch/ dinner fare with a kitchen that’s open late. This is a place where everybody knows your name. We’ll be back to see our people soon 🤩“

“Had a really fun time on the 90-00s dance rave. The place is small and the dance floor it's small too, but that has been my experience in similar bars. It was a Wednesday so not too crowded, beer was at your regular price, and staff seemed friendly to me, definitely will come back.“

“Targy's is a gem. Neighborhood dive bar with plenty of character and plenty of characters. They've got great service, plenty of craft beers on tap, and every liquor bottle known to man. For entertainment there's also a couple of pool tables, dart boards and a jukebox. Everything you need right in your neighborhood.“

“Inexpensive, divey, friendly and, pinball! Love it. A new favorite so I'll be back.“

“You get your food elsewhere eat n drink there 🤘🤘🤘“

“My favorite bar in Fremont .“

“I love the food here, but on delivery orders, they have messed up twice now on mine! Am supposed to get refund, so will see in a couple of days! Driver couldn’t check on my order as they had stapled the bag shut! Was sur prized when I opened the bag a found two large containers of soup and no almond fried chicken and gravy with almonds or even the extra gravy I’d requested! At times like this, wish I still had my car so could have gone back myself to get the rest of my order! Is hard when you’re disabled!“

“Hey it's Sky, we went to the Baranof restaurant and bar around 1130-12. Showed up on karaoke night. Seems like a fun crowd!! Got a vodka cran, a big wave beer and a decent sized basket of fries, that were crinkle cut to me and my partners suprise. Pretty nice place after a night of arcade games and walking around enjoying the sights. Pull tabs as well as some entertainment :) I suggest it!“

“I really liked it. life music on Fridays. Very friendly ambient and the singer was really good my friends and I dance with lots of good music overall is a good place to get together and have fun.😊😊

Vegetarian options: I don't think so. but I was very happy with the food I ordered. they have a flat bed bbq chicken pizza it was really good and a decent size .

Kid-friendliness: No kids is a bar.“

“Great live music show’s the in the large back lot. Chili is awesome. Cool 4 generation family owners. This place is a gift to Ballard.“

“This is a Seattle institution. It is not hip, chic, or stylish. It has history and accretions of character.“

“Great bar and great games! Bring your quarters or get smaller bills and change! Cash only with an ATM.“

“We came all the way from East Alabama and wanted to find a fun place in the evening. We were not disappointed when we came across Shorty's. The prices and food were amazing and Pete kept us thoroughly entertained! If you're looking for some fun (have an appetite for a dog) and have some time to kill, then I don't think you could find a better spot than Shorty's!😋“

“Traveling from Portland to Bellingham looking for karaoke places and this place kept coming up in conversation. I finally made it last night. I simply loved this place. Multi level fun. The best part was the two different karaoke zones! I will most definitely be back. My new favorite karaoke spot!“

“Great, classic bar in DT Kirkland. Bartenders are awesome!“

“Best and safest bar on the hill. Stay away straights. The goth person with the cvnty makeup running the door is always amazing and we never have issues getting in. Some spaces should be gatekept from the finance bros and tradwives. If you are offended by queerness, stay away!
Edit: Never had any issues with creeps or spiked drinks. This is a common issue in bars across the country and within cap hill. Watch your drink everywhere.“

“Went here on a Tuesday around 7 pm after leaving a nearby bar that had a different crowd. It was trivia night, which I think killed the vibe a bit. The trivia was in the large area of the bar, and given how few people there were actually participating, it would have been better to have been in a smaller area leaving the non participants feeling better about carrying on conversations and moving about without feeling like they were interrupting the trivia game. The crowd here was much younger than the bar across the way, not too young though. Overall this is a fun place to go.“

“Had a great, creative version of an espresso martini here and noticed the bartender put a lot of care into making sure my drink was up to satisfaction. The food they have right now is some of the best I’ve tasted here. Also noticed they put up a cover around part of the patio to block out rain for the rainy days coming! Good “
