The last true Ballard bar. A hangout for old timers and fishermen. Not really a dive bar... just a very old, authentic watering hole / and good food too!
Great small feel, went with my roomies for brunch got a great meal.
Really cozy in here, plenty of arcade games and pinball machines. It’s never really crowded either and the carpeted floors and hanging string lights give it a nice homey feeling.
What a gem in the heart of Ballard! A quirky, vintage Seattle outpost that has a modest but excellent array of pinball machines and arcade games, perfectly framed by a few booths and a comfortable bar. Our bartender Farrah (SP?) was great in recommending food and bevs, checking in, keeping an eye on our belongings and also just pleasant to chat with in passing. The food menu is stacked and of a higher quality than most dive bars. Pricing across both food and beverage is by far some of the lowest in central Seattle. I think this is a great bar for small groups, intimate conversations and even solo. I look forward to returning soon.
really great little neighborhood institution bar, cozy atmosphere with delicious pub grub. highly recommend the smash burger with a rainier and tequila :) friendly bartenders as well
Awesome local bar and adjoining pinball bar. Love the bartenders! Definitely worth a visit.
Classic dive bar with dim lighting. Come hang out with regulars during Happy Hour every day 3 to 6.
So fun coming here - great vibes and super friendly bartender. Love that they have Radler on tap and have a yum burger.
Love coming here for drinks and some arcade games!! They have several pinball machines, big buck, pac man and some others. I haven't tried the food here since I usually eat before and come here last.
This is one of the last slices of Seattle left.. a diner on one side, a tavern on the other. Choose your door. Back when you made your bad decisions up front and before you regretted it. Ol' skool.
Well the diner is gone, replaced by an arcade. You can still get a stiff drink, and if your unsolicited opinion is loud enough at the bar you might still find a fight with a fisherman... or possibly get a crew spot for that season... Or both.
Best burger in Ballard as far as I'm concerned. Also the only decent smash burger I've found this side of lake union.
Aside from the food it's just a chill spot to hangout, play some games, drink some beers.
Great dive hang. Never too busy. Neighborhood type of place with pinball and barfood.
This place is worth coming back to visit Seattle for. Meeting the locals and regulars was a wonderful experience and I’m glad to have crossed paths with them.
The bartenders and staff was fantastic. Goes without saying.
