Owner's Poor Customer Interaction
My experience at this restaurant was marred by a negative interaction with the owner, Jared. While carrying a ladder, he approached me aggressively, and despite me stepping aside, he stepped into me. As the owner, his customer interaction skills are lacking, which is disappointing given the otherwise positive aspects of the restaurant. The food was rated a 4, and the atmosphere a 3, suggesting these areas were generally good, but the service, rated a 1, was significantly problematic due to this incident.

Great Football Games & Atmosphere!
My experience at this restaurant was great, especially for football games. I love that they keep on the sound for the games, which is hard to find in Seattle. The atmosphere was fantastic, rated a 5 out of 5, and the food was equally impressive, also rated a 5 out of 5. The service was good, receiving a 4 out of 5. The price per person is between $10–20.

Great Reunion Despite Crowds
My experience at this restaurant was largely positive, especially during a recent reunion. The place was packed, which is understandable given it gets very crowded when the Mariners play. Despite the large number of people, the service was great. The atmosphere was rated a 4, and the food also received a 4. While the noise level was loud, it was still possible to talk. Parking was available, with side parking initially and then front door access. The wait time was non-existent, and the price per person was estimated between $10–20. It's important to note that it's a bar, so no one under 21 is allowed.

Sports bar not open for game
My experience at this restaurant was disappointing. They were not open for the start of the Seahawks game. When I asked if I could just watch the game until they were ready to serve food, I was told no and to come back in 30 minutes. I'm not sure if they understand what a sports bar is.

Disappointing Wings and Service
My experience at this restaurant was quite disappointing. If you enjoy broken chicken bone shards in your $20 wings, this is the place for you. The male bartender was inattentive; he did not even wipe the table after clearing it, and I suspect he was drunk or hungover. This lack of service resulted in a 25-cent tip being left on the booth I sat in, which was not from me. I personally tipped $4.

Favorite Dive Bar with Great Food & Games
I stopped in for dinner and drinks while on a work trip. What stood out immediately was that the bar is dog friendly, and we even had a pup visit us, which felt like great customer service! In all seriousness, this is one of my favorite dive bars. The food was great, drinks were poured quickly, and there are plenty of bar games like pool, shuffleboard, pop shot basketball, and darts to keep you entertained. Seating is also plentiful and accommodates groups of all sizes. I give it a 10/10 and would definitely visit again if I'm back in the area!

Great Neighborhood Sports Bar
This place has been in business for almost 100 years and it’s a great little neighborhood sports bar. The beer is cold and the service is always on point. Great place to watch a game and shoot a game of pool.

Classic Local Spot Feels Like Home
My experience at this classic old-school local tav was wonderful. The staff were incredibly friendly, and the food was good. It's a great place to hang out with friends, and it truly felt like home the moment I walked in the door.

Nostalgic Gem from the 70s
It was a good experience to see one of the old haunts from the 70s that hasn't been demolished for apartments for newbies. The atmosphere was rated 5, and the noise level was moderate. The reviewer dined solo, with a price per person of $10–20 and no wait time.
