“Virtue signaling in an attempt to bring attention to their GoFundMe to keep them from going under“

“Sunset Tavern is such a fun and unique bar and live performance venue! They have some of the best bands coming through, and they sound great! Love the stage background too!“

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

“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.“

“Super fun hangout spot. Great shows downstairs.“

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

“The fresh grapefruit vodka — a real thirst quencher“

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

“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!“

“Streamline Tavern Forevahhh“

“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.“

“Backfire MotoBar rocks! Get in here for dive bar vibe, motorcycle fan talk, good times, good peeps! Also great live music on certain nights (we've played there a few times and it's 100% fun)!“

“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 🤩“

“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.“

“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.“

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.“

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

“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!😋“

“Outstanding environment to relax . You meet interesting people“

“This is a regular haunt for my friends and me. Very queer friendly and unrivaled vibe. If Freddy KOP is spinning you know you are going to get some amazing music and mixes. There's a reason why he travels all over the country to DJ gay events - he's amazing. All the bartending staff are SUPER friendly and fun to chat with. Pony is one of the places I always feel safe and a sense of community.“

“Stars based on rating of a dive bar of which this place checks all the boxes.Decor that makes you second guess if this is a good idea when you walk in ✔️Pull tabs ✔️Locals that seem like they live there ✔️Simple Stiff drinks ✔️Tots ✔️Karaoke ✔️Pool & Darts ✔️Open till 2am ✔️If it was a rating of it on a non-dive bar standard it would be a 3 but places like this are a dying breed and are needed.Bartender was super cool and she also made some mean chicken strips. Limited Late night menu.$3 Jell-O shots are a must. Chilled in a tub of ice. “Happy Hour” is from 11am-3pm” which is genius.“

“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.“

“I get a cheeseburger every Friday and have done so for a year now. Ozzie's burger is a good standard burger quality wise. What I will say having eaten burgers all around the city is it's a great value. The burger and waffle fries without cheese is $11.99. Cheese is +$1.50. The patty is a 1/2 pound meat patty. The bun is like a sourdough/rustic roll which paired well with the size of the patty. In all, Ozzie's is a solid value. I've only had their burger so I can't speak for anything else.“

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

“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 “
