    Bert's Tavern
    Scott O.

    Bert's has been around in its current location since 1954, longer than any business on Bothell-Everett Highway. It is a decent place with a good mix of locals, regulars, and passers by. A full bar, darts, pool table, outdoor seating, horseshoes, karaoke, affordable prices, and iconic appearance are among the many assets, along with good times and fun atmosphere. Not a big place inside, but it's no dive bar either. Biker friendly, easy access, and plenty of parking. Wheel chair accessible and worth checking it.

    This is the place my mom and all her friends would go to to grab a drink and hang out 30 years ago...seems crazy that this dive is still around. It's not a place to go to dance, or get dressed up, or go with too big of a group....but it IS the place to go if you want stiff drinks, hang outside, and shoot the it. 3 or 4 drinks in that place is like 6 or 8 somewhere else....so you have to be careful. They have a pool table, horse shoes, a nice area to hang out outside, a juke box for music (just hope someone didn't load it up with music that sucks), they have trivia nights, pool tournaments, etc. If it wasn't for the nostalgia, and the fact it's within walking distance of my girlfriend's place....I wouldn't necessarily make it a destination as far as bars. But if you're in the neighborhood....drop in and have a drink out on the patio!

    It's a dive bar. Very strong drinks and cold beer. If your looking for a clean sports bar, this is not it. The staff (all male bar tenders) is friendly and will take good care of you. It's a run down dirty hole in the wall but it's a no bullsh** place to have a drink. What more could you want. Oh ok they have a nice outdoor deck and some horseshoe pits.

    Best Dive bar!! Strong drinks, affordable, pool table, darts, Jenga, and some tasty snacks! The bartenders are awesome, and make a great whiskey drink, or whatever you desire! And yes the mud your lemons/limes!

Happy Hour Mon-Fri from 4pm-7pm on drinks only. My wife and I stopped into Player's for lunch during the week after doing a bit of shopping at Costco. Free parking can be found in the parking lot. Discover is an accepted form of payment. It's evident that the clientele are regulars. During our visit, the bartender was also the cook. Orders are placed at the bar. Indoors is spacious with several tables scattered about. For entertainment, Player's offers pool tables, pool tabs, darts, fooseball and TV's. All day on Tuesday's, soft or crunchy beef tacos or carne asada street tacos with cilantro are $2 each. My wife had a couple pints of Bud Light for $4.75 each. I had a couple pints of Bodhi IPA for $5.75 each. Our beers were ice cold and filled to the rim. We each ordered one crunchy and one soft (fajita size) ground beef taco for $2 each. The tacos were stuffed with seasoned taco meat, cheese, lettuce and tomatoes. Filling and tasty. Overall, Player's is a decent bar for the surrounding area. Due to the type of bar that this is, top-notch customer service shouldn't be expected. Have a seat and enjoy a cold brew while waiting on food orders. Witnessing the amount of people at lunch during the week, I can only assume this bar gets packed in the evenings and weekends. My wife and I both enjoy bars such as Player's and look forward to returning in the future.

    This review is only for their wings - I haven't tried any other food / deals they offer…read more I come at least once every two months on a Thursday for their $1.25 / wings! The wings are very meaty, and plump - nothing like Wingstop. It's ruined almost every wing restaurant / chain for me. They require a minimum of 8 wings per flavor, so if you come with a big group you can mix and match flavors easily. My top two flavors: hot (buffalo) and the dry rub lemon pepper. Service is alright. You seat your self (if there is a table open). On busy days, you just fight for a table. I wish they implemented some form of queue or paper on which party is next. Tables just get wiped down with a rag. But the price / quality for the wings makes me come back every time.

    I've been throwing darts at Cactus Moon for about four years, and I even have a plaque on the wall,…read moreso I've spent enough time here to qualify as part of the furniture. During dart season, I was here at least twice a week. However, after moving about half a mile away in December 2025, I started coming even more, sometimes three or four times a week, usually Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and the occasional Saturday. I genuinely considered myself a regular. Unfortunately, there's one small problem: apparently I'm a regular who has achieved invisibility. Unless Jackie B is working, getting the attention of the bar staff can sometimes feel like trying to communicate with a satellite. Jackie B has always been the highlight for me, she actually sees the customers, takes care of people, and somehow manages to notice that humans are sitting down in the dart area. Every time Jackie B is working, the experience is noticeably better. The service in the dart area can otherwise be extremely hit-or-miss, particularly during the day. If you're shooting darts, you may want to bring a flare gun, smoke signal, or possibly a small flag. There seems to be a mysterious service blind spot, especially around the first few tables near the smoking area. But honestly, the biggest disappointment for me has been the removal of the Medalist dart boards. When Cactus Moon got rid of them, it didn't just mean losing a couple of dart boards. It left several of us regular dart players without a home bar with no explanation from anybody at Cactus Moon. And unfortunately, many of my Medalist dart partners simply stopped coming to Cactus Moon altogether. We had a group, a routine, and a place where we played. Suddenly, we didn't. It was honestly embarrassing to be left scrambling for somewhere else to play after years of treating Cactus Moon as our home. For a group of regular customers who had invested that much time and money into the bar, it felt like being politely evicted from your own clubhouse. And that's the frustrating part: Cactus Moon used to be my favorite bar. I even chose my apartment partly because I was so close to it. There are still plenty of things I like about the place. The food is genuinely good. The Wednesday and Thursday half-price burgers are a great deal, and the Thursday night wing specials are worth showing up for. And the Friday-night prime rib is really darn good. If you come here hungry, order something--I've had consistently good food. Then there's today, 8/30/26. I came in for breakfast and darts, fully prepared to spend some money at a place I've supported for years. After 94 minutes and two drinks, I finally gave up on breakfast and went somewhere else to eat. It was nearly 30 minutes between receiving my second drink and finally asking for my tab so I could take my business elsewhere. I understand that bars get busy, staffing can be difficult, and sometimes service falls through the cracks. Today was not one of those days. When you're coming in three or four times a week, tipping well, and spending a lot of time there, repeatedly feeling invisible gets old. At this point, I'm pretty sure I've reached a level of invisibility normally reserved for ghosts. The irony is that I'll probably still be back. It's the only dart bar around, and I'll likely show up for the Friday dart tournament in the near future. I just may be bringing my wallet along strictly for moral support. Cactus Moon, I really do want to like you again. Please find your dart players, and maybe find me while you're at it.

In long I went in search of a spot to have dinner on a Wednesday night, and I was kinda shocked to see how packed some places were. Then the radio said the US men were in the middle of a World Cup game, and I realized the slammed parking lots in town were full of newly-minted soccer fans. Okay, cool. Peabo's seems to have space available. At least when I got there, anyway. The game was on a couple dozen flat screens, though only one person knew who we were playing. It started filling up for Open Mic Night, and pretty soon it was half full on a Wednesday evening. The people could all sing and play, too! Pretty cool for Open Mic. The bartender was SUPER nice to everybody, almost a Maya Rudolph vibe in both look and personality. Instantly one of my favorite front of house people around. The "Deluxe" cheese burger with bacon was kind of a perfect home-cooked version, with supermarket veg and bun around a medium-thick patty. Big crunchy rings, cooked just right, though a little less batter would bring them into balance better. Good flavor, though, from both batter and onion. The beers are on point--clean lines, and a few true craft options mixed in with the big industrial choices. Everything comes out in a shaker glass, which is to be expected. The Bodhi is always good. There are big tables, sturdy chairs, pool tables, darts, pull tabs, a decent collection of Seahawks memorabilia on the walls. Probably gets pretty packed for Hawks games. I could easily see this being a regular casual hangout if I lived a little closer. Evidently it has been thriving for at least a couple decades, and that's not nothing up here.
