28 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.“

“1st time here. We went for a celebration of life for a deceased friend. We each drank a beer but did not order any food. The service at the bar was very fast considering how crowded it was. What's the place was lively and full of friendly people. I would go back and try the food.Another time.“

“Went there tonight and it was packed since it was football playoffs. We had outstanding service, Everytime a glass got close to empty someone came to ask if we wanted a refill. The food was outstanding as well. I ordered a custom made sandwich and even though they were crazy busy it came out hot and exactly as I ordered. Love this experience. Will be back!“

“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.“

“I love this place. The themed nights here are great.“

“Nice spot. Close to everything. The bar tender was friendly. The beers were actually really good! I loved the laid back/ dads garage theme for the brewery.

Locals were there watching basketball when we stopped in. Seems like a fun neighbourhood hangout that tourists can also pop in and out of.“

“Super fun hangout spot. Great shows downstairs.“

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

“@manao chicken burgers 🍔 and drinks“

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

“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!“

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

“Chill place Love that they are open late“

“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 don't usually do reviews on bar and grills, but this place has the best chicken strips I have ever had, I could tell that right away that they're made by scratch, 100% fresh chicken breast smashed down and breaded, the atmosphere reminds me of the show Cheers, drinks are also reasonably priced, if I lived in Seattle I could totally see myself being a regular!“

“Never have I ever been charged $3.50 for a screwdriver because omg I’ve paid at LEAST $6 anywhere else. I was so delighted I tipped $3 on one drink!! Strong drinks, good vibes, if you are a young woman though, don’t go in alone unless you’re okay with getting hit on by the wonderfully ancient regulars.❤️ My boyfriend and I will definitely be going again.“

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

“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 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!“

“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!😋“

“Good people good drinks! Just do it!“

“I do show a couple doors down from this place and several of my friends do shows at Pony. Always a good time there. It's an interesting, very narrow triangle layout but with a big patio.
A photo booth, plenty of cruising, and bonus glory hole in the bathroom.“

“I was really comfortable there. Not because of the alcohol, but because of the people. Sometimes bars can be forbidding feeling to all but regulars. You know? I didn't feel that way here at all. It was a good time that I never felt uncomfortable or self conscious at. Good food and good people. I'll be back for sure.“

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

“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.“

“This is quick, delicious, vegan, and well worth it! The burritos are fantastic, and every “meat” option we’ve tried has been so so yummy. I love the location and how convenient it is to Pike Place. Great option to take people when playing tour guide for out of town visitors! Updated from previous review on 2026-03-11“
