26 Best Dive Bars near Tukwila

“Amazing local scene venue!“

“Great dog friendly patio and great food for the price. Good drinks. Right on the hipster edge of being a dive bar“

“Live music, good food, funky atmosphere, great staff, cocktails, and walking distance. What’s not to love. Check this place out.“

“Delicious food, clean, friendly service, and great drinks. The fried chicken, wings and BLT sandwich are my top 3 favorites. Relaxed sports bar atmosphere with an outdoor patio, pool, darts, and other games. There are also plenty of tables with chairs so you can comfortably see the TV's that are all over the place. Decent street and neighborhood parking.“

“I had a really great time at this place. Karaoke host was amazing and everyone was pretty talented. I really enjoyed my French dip - I couldn’t finish it, huge generous portions! My only TINY issue was I picked a table to sit in that was directly below their hvac and it was very windy but that’s a small thing. I also felt like the clientele was friendly and welcoming. You know how some bars you feel iced out as a stranger? None of that here. All ages, all types of people - love that. Would definitely come back!“

“Always a favorite of mine, albeit i live and work in Pike Place Market. No food other than snacks, but you are permitted to bring in to-go, so really no problem! The beers are ALL PNW regional, and remarkably well-curated. And, a plus to wheelchair visitors (I am one) the insurance bureaucracy of the recent electrical fire has finally been cracked, and bathrooms on both levels are once again operational. Huzzah! And, I am now enjoying the possible last nitro keg of Boundary Bay Stout since they are retiring and closing their doors permanently.“

“Been reading about this burger for months now, and I finally willed myself to go down there to check it out. I had the double tavern and the chili fries. I’ll start with the fries, crispy and hand cut. The chili and was great and the sour cream and scallions were a nice touch. Huge portions though so they’re great for sharing. Now the burger, I had moderate expectations based off reviews and pictures. I always leave establishments disappointed when I have higher expectations so I came in with an open mind. I decided to dine in because all food tastes better when it’s Hot and fresh, and it was just that. The meat was cooked perfectly, the cheese melted all the way through, and the sauce was nice and light. The onions gave it a nice kick as well. It was very good. Beware, although it is a double, it is kind of small, so you can definitely kill a couple of them before you start feeling full. It’s really good overall, and I’ll definitely put it in my top burgers in Seattle (probably right next to The Red Mill.) These burgers were also a nice change of pace to fast food burgers, more expensive and the fries are extra but really worth it if you want just a nice, juicy, messy burger. I’ll be back to try the rest of the menu items.“

“Love going here! The Bartenders are great and the owner is super friendly! Great place to grab a drink and some food!“

“We love the ribs on Wednesday but last time they were a little to spicy for us. But as usual we always have a great time there. Love the staff!“

“I attended a gathering there...that started in the parking lot because the owner was an hour and a half late opening. Nice of him to show up. No food served. None. A kitchen, menus with pizzas they don't serve anymore, but no service. Long lines while he smoked outside. Is this a joke?“

“if you know. you know. I love ❤️ the Inn!“

“My favorite little bartender is there. She has the greatest curves , cutest face, but a sad smile. Food is great, drinks are strong and the right price. People are loud. What's the story, morning glory? I go back on Saturdays for you. Thanks for the XYZ after the margarita.“

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

“My absolutely favorite bar in West Seattle. Amazing atmosphere but please hire nicer people as bartenders, people who actually have customer service skills. Often get one bartender who is very rude and unpersonable, seems to hate her job. 💔“

“I like this place a lot. In actuality it probably doesn't deserve 5 stars, but that's what I like about it. I just have never had a bad time there. Sometimes we get a table right away and sometimes we don't. Sometimes we get a better table; sometimes we don't. But everytime I've enjoyed myself, and my experiences with the staff have always been good. I also really like that you can order food from next door and bring it in with you.“

“I love this place. It has been the most welcoming place since I moved here. Look don't expect to get a full meal here but everything else is fantastic. The atmosphere, the people, the cheap drinks. All the bartenders (Kate, Shelley, Maat, Carrie, and Haelee) are all great! If you're looking for a dive bar to go to this is the one!“

“Chill place Love that they are open late“

“Got a bacon cheeseburger to go, with fries. It was absolutely delicious. Atmosphere is dive bar. Couple of pool tables in decent condition, multiple screens with various games going on, colorful locals who are obviously regulars. If that's your jam (wasn't looking for that tonight, myself), you'll love it. Looking for something else and you probably want to take out... Which was totally worth it.“

“Went in tonight for the first time. Very cute bartender. I will be going back.“

“Good people good drinks! Just do it!“

“@manao chicken burgers 🍔 and drinks“

“Pony is the kind of place you wind up when you’ve given up on being aspirational. It’s not where you meet the love of your life, it’s where you meet the person who ruins the rest of your week, maybe the rest of your month, maybe even your life but at least it won’t be boring. Anything but boring. The air is thick with sweat, despair, and joy. The walls feels like it’s seen something illegal, and still has the fingerprints to prove it. It’s all bad decisions and good intentions. A place so small you can’t help but rub against strangers, which is the point, isn’t it? You can call it a gay dive bar, but really it’s a queer confessional booth with alcoholic beverages. Everyone is either too cool or not cool enough but everyone is beautiful in that wrecked, unfixable way. The drinks are good, they’re strong, not cheap. The music is always right, but exactly wrong in a way that keeps you there and coming back. Pony is like an ex you should block on every platform but don’t, because some part of you thrives on humiliation, on spectacle, on waking up with hope and vomit dried stuck to your pillowcase.

If most gay bars are trying to be someone you could take home to your mother, Pony is the one you meet in the bathroom and leave without knowing their name. It’s not romance, it’s relapse. It’s not catharsis, it’s collapse. But it’s honest. And sometimes, when the world feels like it’s killing you slowly, honesty is the only libation worth paying for.“

“Expensive! $12.24 for a beer with MANDATORY tip regardless of what you want to give. Beers are 12oz not 16oz. food is edible. Walk in take a selfie leave. New owners needed.“

“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!😋“

“Great food and wonderful people. Had a fabulous turkey dinner tonight!“

“Absolutely love this place! The owner Susan is so kind. She really has a great establishment and staff! The girls that run the bar are so cool. They really make you feel like family there! The food is great and the bar prices are good as well. I’ve been there a few times now and always have a great time. Definitely will be a regular 🍻“
