    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!

    Bert's has strong drinks but gets a little too wild on the weekends. Good deals on drinks, but a cramped and unpredictable place to drink!

    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.

    This place has gone downhill. Food is not as good or as plentiful as it once was (read small…read moreportions). Now days they really try to nickel and dime you for everything little thing and they are sneaky about it too. For instance, when ordering a burger and fries they enthusiastically ask you if you would like anything to dip the fries in; what they don't tell you is they are going to charge you extra for that. That's right, an extra charge for mayo. This is unacceptable and is not the norm for most other restaurants. But this sneaky charge is their daily practice. I have personally seen this many times and now only use the ketchup on the table. At no point do they disclose the extra charge but yet they ask every time if you want dipping sauce which is just dishonest and certainly not hospitable for a business in the hospitality industry. On my last and final visit to this Buzz Inn my guest did ask for mayo for their fries and they even charged us for the mayo, but it never made it to the table. We assumed since it did not show up, we would not be charged but they did in fact charge for mayo that never arrived. They also charge a transaction fee if you use a credit card which is just not acceptable in todays day and age. Should we also pay an electric fee, or maybe a garbage fee, or dish fee? Or maybe perhaps the owner should pay their own bills?? I look forward to the new restaurant that will take over this space when this Buzz Inn location closes in 2027 as they don't get along with their landlords either. The ladies that work at this location are just downright mean to their customers. There is definitely a us (staff) versus them (guest) mentality. I have overheard the staff speak very negatively to and about the guest and other coworkers. After my last trip here, I am done and will not be back, after many, many years of going here.

If you're in the mood for a basic place where they do everything right, you can probably round up a star. In long This has been at least one other sports bar, and you might be surprised how big it is inside. There's a decent amount of parking, and a ton of reliable places to eat also surround this lot. I came in to check out Husky hoops yesterday afternoon, which nobody around here was showing since it was on a streaming platform. The place was empty when I showed up 'cause it was way between lunch and dinner, so I got to chat with the cool bartender a bit. She had already scoured their channel guides to see which local teams she'd be able to show, so we shared a cheerful grumble about how you can't just get one subscription to cable anymore and see all your teams' games. I didn't get the sense she was a sports dork like me, so she was doing this so she could do a good job at work. I like that!@ This place from the outside looks like it might seat about 25, but the reality is that it's several times that big. Dozen pool tables scattered around, plenty of room for everybody to line up shots. Couple dozen TVs. Huge horseshoe-shaped bar going from the middle of room to the back corner, lots of stools. You can see a few nice choices for spirits here and there. Full bar for sure. Beers are a little on the industrial side, probably no wines. She mixed a decent old-fashioned for me, but asked multiple questions about how I liked it. I really loved how detailed she was with everything--which games are on, which drinks they have, how to make them, how they serve their food. She didn't seem like the owner (I don't think) but she knew the whole place like the back of her hand. I had a prime rib dip, which was just the sandwich you want when you can have a little cheat. Good chewy onion rings that didn't pull apart after one bite--you get batter and onion, both, every time. Jus was good, meat was tender, bread had a nice chew to it. The chef puts his name on at least one dish, and the bartender went on about how much scratch cooking he does. I asked if she recommended something specific, and she rattled off half the menu. This is definitely a place where you can happily eat during the game. I was out the door with a meal and a drink for under $30, which is an amazing value these days.
