The Toledo - Reviews

My experience at this local bar was fantastic. I found it to be the best dive bar in Seattle, offering great food, great drinks, and great service. The atmosphere was also a highlight.

Our annual gatherings are always a success here. Eric and his crew consistently provide excellent treatment. Eric's knowledge of drinks is impressive. The food and vibe are both chill and delicious. The jello shots, chicken wings, and nachos are absolute must-haves!

I picked this spot out of the blue to meet up with someone new. Be aware that it is located below a pot shop, and the entrance is a simple door leading down stairs into the bar. The space is smallish and a bit intimate, with a slightly dark ambiance and several distinct seating areas. They offer plenty of beer, liquor, and food choices. It's important to note that they do NOT fry food, so it's not your typical pub fare and may take longer to prepare. Overall, it's a good place for a drink. They had a few TVs with games on, but I wouldn't call it a sports bar. Trivia was happening the night I visited, which made it busy but not overly crowded. It's a basic, local dive bar that would be great to walk to if you lived in the neighborhood.

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! It's truly the best dive bar in Seattle. The food and drinks were always so good. The vibes were absolutely perfect, and the bartenders were super cool. They consistently have the best movies playing and play amazing music. It's a hidden gem!

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I highly recommend trying their signature drink. They offer a good selection of home-cooked food, and the atmosphere is a fun speakeasy. The food and atmosphere were both rated a 5 out of 5, and there was no wait time.

Monday is always a trivia night from 7-9 pm. It was our first time to visit and it was a good time to spend. We found the food options to be limited, but the drinks list was good. The service, atmosphere, and food were rated a 3 out of 5. We experienced no wait time and a moderate noise level. The price per person was between $30–50.

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! It's my favorite neighborhood watering hole. The food is absolutely fantastic, with the nachos and Mac and cheese being the go-to choices. The Caesar salad also rocks! The service is excellent and fun. I also enjoyed the back patio, which is nice for fresh air and is dog friendly. I absolutely love it here!

My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. The nachos were great and served fast, which was a definite plus. However, the service from the bartender, whose name I believe was Barrett or Garrett, was extremely poor. He had the worst attitude and seemed to hate being there. While the food was excellent and the service speed was good, the bartender's demeanor significantly detracted from the overall experience.

My experience at the Toledo was fantastic! I always have the best time when I’m hanging there. The bar staff are top notch. I love the vibe of the bar, which is comfortable and cozy. I can tell someone really took their time decorating and creating ambiance. The food is so 💣 bomb and just what you need after a couple cocktails! Go there and enjoy the cozy atmosphere, the drinks, the food, and the good music!

My experience at The Toledo was fantastic! It truly captures that perfect midwestern dive bar charm, all the way in Seattle. Located a short walk from Lake Union and tucked away below a pot shop, it's a genuine hidden gem. The bar staff here are some of the best in the area, with kind bartenders who engage in fun conversation. It has a friendly, local vibe with regulars, reminiscent of the "Cheers" show. The drink selection is great, and the food is fantastic. My friends rave about their wings, and I personally love the flat breads. They also have a dog-friendly patio in the back. The decor is low-frills, fun, and cozy.
