My faves were the Addams family and Jaws pinball machines. I came here Wednesday night on a date and was surprised at how moderately busy the bar was. There were enough people to create a lively atmosphere, but not enough that we had to wait to play games. At the bar, I ordered a cosmopolitan, but the bartender offered me a vodka cranberry instead. The drink was refreshing, but the ice gave it that watered down taste. Halfway through the night I lost my phone and only realised when my date and I were in the car. When we returned to the bar the bartender had it with him. I love that I didn't have to go looking for it. My date and I had a great time at this bar and will definitely have to come back for some more pinball soon!!

We ordered some beers and the Pulled Pork Quesadilla, which was surprisingly filling and delicious, the brisket chili was a hit omg would come back just for this, and the Brisket Mac and Cheese, another hit. Overall very satisfying, we were happy with our dinner choices. The vibe was low-key, though they got pretty busy shortly after we were seated, so it seems like they get random rushes here and there. You could tell there are a lot of neighborhood regulars. The service was great, friendly, and fast, which we appreciated. Our server checked on us often, even though they got super busy. There are two rooms, the main entrance area with seating and bar and a second room with a similar setup but bigger tables for larger groups.

Multiple times he's been RUDE, but tonight he refused service 20mins before close, stood outside (drink in hand and smoking a cigarette) and said I should go to Percy's instead. As a restaurant owner myself, I wouldn't want my employees redirecting business somewhere else and it makes me upset for whoever employs him. Is someone just subsidizing this for fun bc the workers seem to think so

The interior was dimly lit with more tables and seating in the back. It was a neighborhood bar with a lot of locals and frequent barflys. Their website said that their happy hour is from 4-7pm but when we arrived at 6pm the bartender said it was actually 4-6pm. She told us though that "it's not happy hour but our stuff is cheap anyway" which was a funny exchange and gave us a chuckle. She was right though because wells were $5 and the Moscow mule was $8 (although it was just okay). We played pool, watched some TV, and just hung out. It was a cool vibe.

The bartender was very kind, and we ordered at the bar before heading out to the patio. The outdoor seating was really nice and comfortable, especially with the heaters keeping everything warm. We ordered the fried shrimp, fried fish, tater tots, fries, and a salad. Overall, everything was delicious--the fried items were especially well done, crispy and full of flavor. The only thing we didn't really enjoy as much were the fries, but everything else made up for it. Overall, it was a really enjoyable meal in a great casual spot.

Their daily 3-5 happy hour makes it particularly fun to watch college football on Saturdays or NFL on Sundays. They have a dark and cozy interior with a lovely shaded patio on hot days. We typically order the same thing each happy hour - I love the fried chicken sliders (Nashville hot) and my husband gets the fried chicken basket. We always pair that with a vieux carre. Total tab is under $35 not including tax and tip. A complete steal in Seattle these days! Service is usually quick and thoughtfully-spaced with enough time to make a dent in the drinks before the food arrives. It's the perfect spot to meet up with friends, host parents, and watch sports of any kind (the mariners game is always on).

I went on a Friday for happy hour, which runs daily from 3-5pm. It is generally very challenging to make this timeframe but I had some time today to stop by right before 5pm. The happy hour deals are great - it is no surprise the restaurant is fairly busy, but at least there are plenty of seats and you seat yourself wherever you want. I got the 3pc chicken tenders and fries ($10) and a vieux carre ($7). I also got the 2pc buckeyes for dessert ($2) because it was only $2 - why not end on a solid dessert at minimal extra cost. The chicken tenders are nicely battered, flavorful, and so juicy. But I got Nashville hot and it was barely any spicy if at all! The fries were also pretty good, just a tad bit too salty but good to wash with a drink or water. The vieux carre was good - decent quality, a bit tiny, but that is how they can keep the costs so low. The buckeyes is basically cold chocolate and peanut butter but very satisfying way to end the meal and is quite sweet and pairs well with the cocktail. Service is generally good as the server was friendly and got me waters, menu, drink, and bill quickly, and made sure I was taken care of. However, there were times where the server asked me questions ensuring I got what I needed (plus points on that) but also the party next to me got asked what dipping sauces for the 3pc chicken tenders and fries and the server did not ask me that. I would have loved something not ketchup because I don't like ketchup so I ended up eating the dish without any dipping sauce, but at least the chicken tenders and fries were delicious enough that I still enjoyed it without any dipping sauce. I am aware dipping sauces are $0.75 extra but would've been a nice gesture to be offered the choice should I decide to get some to enhance the meal. To an extent, you get what you pay for, and the prices are so good especially in this economy that I must go back to try the other happy hour items when the timing works out!

Both are dog friendly and our waiter even brought my dog a water bowl! Our servers were attentive and friendly. Food and drink were prepared and served quickly. Thank you Luke and Jeff for the wonderful service! I would recommend the brisket sandwich with a fries upgrade. The brisket is tender and juicy and pairs well with the slaw. The ciabatta bun is the best vehicle for all the deliciousness of the sandwich. But the stand out for me was the fries! Perfectly seasoned and fried to perfection, dipped in the aioli...YUM! To drink, I had the non-alcoholic spicy blueberry mocktail. It's spicy from the Fevertree ginger beer and slightly sweet from the blueberry. The fresh mint was a fragrant and delightful garnish. It comes in the coolest copper mug! If you're in the Ballard/Fremont area looking for outside seating, cocktails/mocktails, and tasty food, make sure to check out The Barrel Thief!

We were the only ones in there for a while and so had a chance to talk with Geoff, who made great recommendations for food and was very pleasant and friendly. Everything we tried was delicious. My friend initially ordered a drink that wasn't on happy hour as she had forgotten to ask about it, and at the end, Jeff had changed the price to a happy hour price since he didn't let her know about that in advance. Very class move and going the extra mile in a way that makes a huge difference and leaves along lasting impression on the customer! Happy hour food menu is small, but that seems to be for a reason, because what they do they do well!
