Was actually a really great stop for food. The Philly cheese steak was tasty and the food the others had looked really good. The service was excellent and it is a little noisy but the music is good!

Great little place. Service is good and food is wonderful. Great drink selection and there is a stage/dance floor. Sound is great for a small dive bar and the musical acts we’ve seen there are creative and enjoyable

This is probably a better bar than some of its patrons might lead you to believe. If you like whiskey at a decent price, this bar seems great. Unfortunately, the added cost is that you must listen to communists preach with the same zeal and fraught sense of certainty as your typical evangelical Christian. As President Trump would say: Sad!!

I would love to share a picture. But can't. Mindless zombie moment when my burger was unwrapped.

Portions generous. Food delicious. The Valley has never disappointed me.

The staff is always great. The food though... oh the food!

What I have tried so far:
- The double burger is solid even as is for a picky pants eater that you tell you get what you get no substitutions. Shockingly no complaints and a clean plate.
- My favorite is the pepper beef burger. Glorious heat and tang. There really are no words to describe my love of this burger.
- The blue and bacon. Everything you expect except bigger, meatier, and more delicious.
- The patty melt. Holy moly. Probably a contender for my favorite. So close. Arguably the best patty melt ever.
- The mac and cheese is heavenly bliss. I also had salad and it was perfect. Good ranch. Good blue cheese.
**Please note the pickles might be made in house, just that good. Always upgrade to the fries. Pay for the side of Valley sauce. Anybody remember Zestos in Ballard back when the car was on the roof and it was the best fish and chips on Earth? Same fries. The Valley sauce is a vinegary, peppery version of ranch. And there is never enough.

Things I will try and update: the dip and other sandwiches and the chicken gorgonzola pasta.

I will also attempt to use my brain next time for pics. But it really is that good.

Best place in the world. Owner was super nice and his employees were amazing. My brother and I found this place off of Google maps on our way to watch oregon ducks destroy washington huskies. I will forever be grateful for this place and the staff. I wish more places were like this!!

It's a dive bar, in honestly the best way I can say that.

I absolutely love a great dive bar, they feel cozy, people are happy to be there, and honestly I've had some of the best food in my life at a dive bar. This place holds true to that standard.

The place is fairly clean, I'll start with that. My only observation is they could get a handle on the fruit flies.

Other than that, my ciders were cold, the staff was friendly and approachable, a good selection of drafts and bottles are available, and although there's not a huge liquor selection displayed, they definitely have something that will whet your palate.

The food is absolutely top notch. Fish and chip Fridays is when I happened upon this place, and they were pretty phenomenal, with the fries resembling Checkers, but only if it were a long lost brother that slapped the checkers fries in the face and took the throne. The fish was perfectly cooked, crispy and delicious. I'm not a fan of Cole slaw, but I've had better seasoned marinated cabbage.

I've already told my friends about this place, but if your aren't afraid of a well loved atmosphere, stop by and give them a shot. You won't regret it if it's your jam.

Live music was surprisingly good for the space, which isn't perfect for acoustics, but the speakers were pretty well balanced for the space.
