We found a cool bar in the neighborhood we were staying at on our trip to Seattle this past summer. Justin, Bryan and I decided to walk around and check out few places, since it was the 4th of July many places had been closed but this place was open and so we had some fun.. Pool tables, TVs, Pinball and other games just what we needed to wind down from our busy day. The boys tried several of the local brews, seems they have been trying every new one they could find made in Pacific Northwest. Myself I do like beer but had already tried 3 from different places we went too so kinda wanted my old faithful (bourbon), how lucky was I to see they had Makers :) We spent several hours playing Pinball and Pool talking and meeting locals from the area, had a really nice time.. I recommend anyone check them out very friendly staff and a great place to just chill.

Thief alert. owner or the cashier for the second time now have went back and added more to my tip amount which is always 25%. What scumbags

read: I've come to this bar now twice in the last 6 months and both times when I cashed out my tab I left my standard 25% tip and when I seen my credit card statement via text the bartender or owner changed the tip amount and charged my card almost double. The first time it happen I was charged $20 more and thought this might be a mistake and decided to let it go. Went there again this last weekend and they stole from me again. The person at the counter this time was a white guy in his mid 30 to late 30's had a scruff beard look. Friday lad but it's all a show. Maybe I'm wrong and it's not him but a scummy owner who closes out tips but whoever it is stay away from this place. The new owners have stole from me twice now and I beg you people to look at ur statements and see if they over charged u Guys. If anyone out there has experienced this please message me on here or reply to this post. I will be looking to investigate this place myself. Ty and be aware again thieves

This is a glorious (and pretty gross) dive bar. If you look under the pool tables you will see that no one has ever vacuumed underneath them. It's spacious enough that you don't feel packed in, even when it gets busy. Lots of pool tables, pinball machines, big buck hunter and beautiful old brick on the interior. Is the food good? Meh. But if you're looking for a dive bar from the days of yore, this is a great spot. I personally love crummy dive bars and as the tech boom has taken over Seattle, they are fewer and further between. To me, this place is a hidden gem (with parking, to boot). Definitely a better place to go with a group who wants to shoot some pool than a date.

This place is a fucking dump. It hasn't changed since the 1970's and smells like a homeless person's asshole. The fucking bartenders are super friendly though, they make stiff drinks and have free wifi. The Simpsons Party pinball machines is a top 10 machine and they have it. Lots of pool tables and shit but come for the Simpsons pinball and the stiff drinks. They have some other games too if you're an asshole.

Four B's in Fremont/Ballard is dog-friendly.

Recently celebrated a girlfriend's birthday here and had a great time. Reasonably priced pitchers of beer and a surprisingly delicious veggie burger. (I had low expectations and was very hungry, but it was quite tasty...) If you accept this for what it is... a dive bar with tons of bar games... this is a great option. If you're looking for classy craft cocktails and an upscale environment, try another spot. I'm really not sure what the Four B's actually stand for but it could be any number of things: Bar, Beer, Basketball, Buckhunter, Billiards, Burgers, BBQ, Booze... And, since I'm all about the dog-friendly lets add another... BABIES (of the furry variety). Yes, Four B's in Fremont/Ballard (is that Frellard or Ballmont?) is DOG-Friendly. I verified this with the bartender and have photographic evidence, but have not yet brought my own pups to the Four B's. It's on my TO-DO list. I would give 5 stars, except the method for ordering drinks (form a big long line that crowds the main hang-out area, rather than standing around the bar per usual) just doesn't make any sense. And, they could probably use some help behind the bar too on a busy Saturday night. It was about a 10 minute wait for beverages.

This is a decent place to watch the game. It doesn't look like much from the outside, and frankly it you can judge this book by it's cover. They do have games however, and boy do I like to play games while I drink beer. Their Pop-a-shot is decent (compared to some I have seen). They could stand to have a few new balls thrown in there and the score reset though. They have big buck and skeeball too which are also classics. They have some pool tables too but I haven't had a chance to try those out yet.

You know this sports bar: Mariners on the TV. Soundgarden on the jukebox. Strong drinks. Pool tables and video games. Dirty bathrooms. A bunch of dudes wearing cargos and backwards baseball caps. A few gals wearing overly tight, low-cut shirts. Everything a 23-year-old 5th-year-senior could ask for on a Saturday night.

Some of the games I thought could have been cheaper ($1 for pinball is kind of steep).

This is a new favorite of mines. Been here 3 times so far and can't wait to get back every time…read more What I like the most about this place is the vibe of it all. It's not divey, but not hipster either which I really appreciate. They also play good classic rock in here, but switch the music to something up-tempo when it becomes evening. I feel that anyone can feel comfortable here. Ok so the food and drink. I was told that this is a whiskey bar, but I'm a tequila girl so I wasn't able to explore their whiskey library. I didn't want any of the happy hour drink options, so I just asked for a margarita and it was damn good. I had too many to admit on here. The main food attraction at Triangle Spirits is their fried chicken, which has been dubbed by some as the best in the city. You can get the chicken as a slider or sandwich, boneless skinless thighs on the happy hour menu (great deal of 10 bucks for 3 pieces and fries), or as a meal (dark or white meat with a side, or half a chicken with 2 sides). I tried the happy hour chicken basket and the dark meat meal. After trying both, I feel that the chicken on the happy hour is better than the meal. The happy hour chicken is boneless, very tender and more flavorful than their chicken on the bone. The secret mix of seasonings is more pronounced on the boneless chicken than it is with the bone in. The bone in chicken was just ok to us and didn't blow us away and it was also ridiculously expensive. I would not pay 35.00 again for what I tasted. The bone in chicken was fried well, but didn't have as much flavor as we were expecting. Also, the mac and cheese was the most disappointing. I suggest skipping that as it's obvious that the cheese is some kind or processed concoction from a box. This is still an awesome bar in Fremont. Stop in for a good time and atmosphere.

I've only been here two times and they were both for Happy Hour…read more The Happy Hour prices for drinks are pretty darn good. My go-to HH cocktail here is the Vieux Carré, but I like herbal sweet & bitter, so it's right up my alley. Currently there are five HH cocktail options and they are $7... hard to find in Seattle! I've also had the rainier & rye for $9- the rye is great, forgot to ask what kind it is. I've had a few other HH drinks, which were alright, but these stand out the most. As for food, I've only tried the spicy Seattle dog, and I would get it again. The hot dog is cut up & shaped weird (see photo), but it tastes wonderful. I heard the fried chicken is great so I'll try that next time. Also, I was excited to see that they had buckeyes on the menu, but they didn't have any when we visited. Inside is spacious and woodsy, & outside there is an enjoyable patio. Servers are nice and seem happy to be there, which always elevates my experience anywhere. I definitely recommend coming to Triangle Spirits for Happy Hour (available daily 3-5pm, dine-in only).
