“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!“

“The fresh grapefruit vodka — a real thirst quencher“

“We found this place on a walk around the golf course today! Somehow we wandered off trail and found it.
Great beer, a pool table and local dive bar vibe.
Apparently they’ve been open for 97 years!
Check it out, go for a pint and a game, and support a treasure. Gentrification has closed so many good dive bars. It’s nice to see one hanging on. We will be back!!
A fun afternoon adventure we didn’t plan on, that affirmed our faith in humanity.“

“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.“

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

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

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

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

“Super fun hangout spot. Great shows downstairs.“

“Because they let the regulars just be regulars —“

“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.“

“My favorite bar in Fremont .“

“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 🤩“

“old school real people laid back crazy“

“good atmosphere and friendly service“

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

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

“I love this place!!! Always a good vibe with great friendly staff who take their jobs seriously. Love the big screen for the games and the food is better than most other bars I have been to anywhere. It gets busy if the games are on and after events get out, so expect a little noise!“

“Man, such a fun night last night!! KJ Holloway was super welcoming and encouraged me to get out of my comfort zone. I’m really self conscious of my voice range, but I felt so great after I sang! Drinks were a little pricey, but you do get the best bang for your buck. Just a super fun environment. Will definitely be returning for karaoke!“

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

“Always loud. Expensive drinks, so keep that in mind. The experience and friendships you can make are frankly insane, though. There is genuinely nothing like it. Go on doll/karaoke night if you're so inclined. GOOD LORD, I miss it already. There's just something about it.“

“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!😋“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Sam’s 69, like a French 75, only better … because, DUH. And very tasty chicken tender sliders and onion rings with kicked up versions of Ranch sauce for dipping. Great service and reasonable prices.“

“10 STARS

This is my favorite bar in Capitol Hill. I come here quite frequently with friends but still spend my days daydreaming about my next visit. Playlist NEVER disappoints. It’s a new vibe everyday and I’m always dying to get the link. MAJOR Kudos. My phones wallpaper? Captain Blacks nachos. Playing cards on the deck with a beer and fist full of nachos is my happy place. Love love love love love Captain Blacks.“

“It's a dive bar for sure, both seats aren't attached so you probably fall out of you're not careful.
Pool tables are decent though. Depending on the bartender, drinks are over poured, last night they were spot on and delicious.
Karaoke 🎤 has good turn outs. Trivia Tuesday has good turn outs.“

“I have to say, of everybody that tends at this bar Nicole stands out in a way that can’t be ignored. She is consistent and extremely hard working. Each and every time I come up she is ready to go with a pleasant smile on her face. She does it all. There is a few tenders here that talk smack about people I know and are less than ready to do their job. Nicole truly stands out. She deserves a raise and Bert’s tavern truly does not know the talents that have acquired. BRAVO.“
