The Waterwheel Lounge is such a special place, it was one of the first places I've fallen in love with in Seattle WA. This "Cheers-like" bar has karaoke Thursday - Saturday 9:30pm to 1:30am and Sunday 7:30pm to 12:30am. Such a great spot to meet locals and sing your heart out.
really cool, cozy neighborhood bar with lots of karaoke and trivia on mondays. great selection of twisted teas and of course many beers. 10/10 dive
Got an airbnb next door. Closed it 4 nights in a row. One of the all time best jukes I’ve ever hung. Great bartenders, great crowd. Unreal joint
Eric, the bartender, helped my wife and I out when we were stranded and our phones were dead. Eric is a very kind and genuine person and I’m grateful for his help.
Great karaoke by your awesome KJs- Special K and Station!!Come over, sing and hear all your favorite jams.
Bingo on Tuesdays with Pat is a hoot!
Super dive-y little bar. But a nice place to catch some sun in the outdoor patio area. Fun for cornhole!
Best AMF's in town and the bartender nichole is not only a great alchemist with drinks. But I once seen her pick up a bike and threw it at a crazy drunk. The best karaoke in town.
Do you want a dive bar? You've got yourself a perfect dive bar at Waterwheel Lounge.
What you see is what you get. It's a dive, but the staff is awesome and karaoke is tons of fun. It's also refreshing that while tons of places are becoming condos, the Waterwheel is still there!
Don't let them destroy this bar with a new develpment
Went there tonight to see stand-up comedy and had a great time. There was a guy name Richie Stratton who I think was the headliner and he was really funny!
Friendly bar with good food. Quiz night (on Mondays) was very fun!
Did some karaoke here, it was pretty good. The patrons were cheerful and engaged, and the KJ was good. Beverages were a standard dive bar set, at reasonable prices. Food was standard and affordable as well. Overall, a good dive bar.
Interesting side note, it appears to be a very defensible location in the event of a zombie outbreak. Neat!

I travel north America for work and am always looking for a good dive bar. this exceeded any and all expectations. fr. I loved my time drinking cheap beer and making new friends
Waterwheel is a local dive bar in Ballard on 15th. Sometimes tough to see since it's nestled back behind its large fence, it's definitely got that vibe when you go inside. They have some food items and plenty of things on tap or in cans. They have a few TVs inside with games on, and outside there are a lot of tables and chairs, plus a heater on the porch under cover (although that's where the smokers go unfortunately). The staff here are so nice and helpful, always changing to channels you want, quick at pouring and always ready for a chat. Would definitely recommend going here if you're around the area or trying to do one of the many Ballard bar crawls.
So much Karaoke you don't know what to do with yourself. Stopped in during a very raining Seattle night and was welcomed by what some would call song and dance. It was awesome. Great group of patrons and the bartenders were quick, friendly, and made great drinks. I have since been back multiple times and even during the week find this little bar winning me over.
