One star, and it's all down to a single bartender. I came in with two friends to catch the NBA Finals and we grabbed a spot away from everyone, just talking among ourselves. Out of nowhere a bartender inserted himself into our private conversation. I asked him to stay out of it, and instead of backing off he got rude. By the time we settled up he had completely lost it and screamed 'f***ing a**hole' at me in front of the whole bar. There's no excuse for a staff member blowing up at paying customers over a conversation he was never part of. If you're behind the bar and nobody's being harmed, pour the drinks and let people be. Management will know who I mean: thin guy, long white beard, flat-brim cap. Skip this place. read more

This is my favorite bar period. I could go on forever about the food the cocktails and the staff! The favorite thing is socializing with the other patrons. It's my favorite bar to talk about how awesome Donald Trump is! read more

Love this bar! The bartender (Taylor) is great at beer recommendations and creating a true community atmosphere at the neighborhood bar. (She makes mean jello shots, too.) If they are making brisket that day, GET IT! Authentic and delicious--best kept secret of Lake City! read more

Listen, this place is a descent bar on Lake City but the main reason you'd come here is to see Hayla! She's a beautiful & magnetic bartender who takes great care of her patrons. Come here!!! read more

We miss this place! Used to love coming here. We live right around the corner on 35th so it was our favorite bar until this woman started working. We asked her what her name was to make this complaint and she said her name was Kayla, Heyla, something like that. She was rude to my wife when we came in after a Sounders game and made a comment about my wife's purse and said oh i like your purse her, was there a sale at Value Village?? In front of other people and laughed!Our daughter bought that Coach bag for my wife for Mother's Day. Who says stuff like that? DO NOT GO TO THIS BAR UNTIL SHE IS GONE. TRUST ME. 1 Star review. read more

Double J Saloon - 8/16/24 - had the secret grilled cheese with brisket and Cole slaw. So stinking good! The staff is nice and attentive, good vibes! - Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

OMG!!!! Jeff is the bomb! We had over 12 folks show up after a wake and we were not only welcomed but treated with such respect and authentic reverence for the situation while also making sure we all had fun. That's a balancing act and he delivered. Highly recommend!! We weren't able to get food but he did allow us to get bring in from next door. Thanks Jeff. You made yesterday so memorable for us all!!

This place is my jam, refuge, local hang, and all that really good stuff in between. I've been delaying writing this review because I love the fact stumbling upon Double J Saloon and feeling like I've discovered a super cool secret. The music slash playlist is always on point. The bartenders are also super friendly. They always try to make a point in learning my name and trying to remember it. They also provide some pretty sweet board games. You can easily play chess, while simultaneously playing Jenga and scrabble- whoa. Don't judge a book by its cover because the interior is super clean, bathrooms are really nice, and the drinks - my personal fav the cucumber cooler never disappoints! read more

This bar is so cute and fun to go to. They go all out with the theme and it's amazing. I came here on a Wednesday evening and it wasn't too crowded. The bartenders were super nice. They have a pool table and good selection of drinks, will definitely be back. read more

Good, neighborhood place in the thick of Lake City Way. Delicious beverages! Ask about their shot-and-beer combinations. Friendly staff. Tacos, chili, other pub food. Nice, down home, real people. Pool table. Cool decorations, too. All the things! read more

Did not feel safe or comfortable here. Overheard someone being verbally assaulted racially and staff did not step in, allowed aggressor to stay and berate another guest. read more

Great new addition to LCW! Only been opens ~2 weeks but I'm excited it's here. It's the perfect hangout spot that is comfortable. Great people, big TV's, pool, beers on tap, liquor, music & flatbread pizza (didn't try but smelled good). Parking in the back too. Excited to go back! read more

Double J Saloon - a sign for double j saloon - Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Scratch cocktail for $7. Not too boozy (The Back Door is good for that) and delicious. Food bites (did not have any, but it looked great). Free peanuts. Salty and good. What I have liked the most is that it was not busy when I was there, but both bartenders worked the entire time. Jeremy was friendly, drinks were perfectly balanced, and he never missed a beat when my glass was getting emptier. I really appreciated his attention to detail when he opened a new bag of peanuts. He made sure that the ones that were on the bottom ended up on top. It seems funny to point that out, but it is telling on how the bar is handled in general. Welcome Double J Saloon to LCW! read more

Amazing place with amazing people and owner! Homemade sauces and food... just a solid place. Has pool/billiards and good music too! read more

Great atmosphere and some of the friendliest staff I've ever met. Good for sports, several TV's behind the bar. Food is surprisingly good. Only problem is that the shots are measured. Not worth paying for premium liquor when the owners won't let the barkeeps free-pour. read more

If you didn't have a good time here... it's probably you... maybe keep a pad & pen by the bedside & start writing down your dreams at night as a a start... look for basic archetypal symbols & other recurring themes to what the problem might be... hope this was helpful... read more

This place is legit - cheap drinks, friendly/no fuss attitude, great decor and ambiance, delicious bar food and so much more! They have free peanuts, karaoke on Tuesdays I believe, themed food nights (i.e. Taco Tuesday) & a modern jukebox. read more

Like the owner and great dud that runs the bar. Dont remember his name (have a good guess) but wears a bandana...truly enjoyed him and his bar. Local patron read more

Nice little spot to grab a drink and play some board games (games are provided by the bar). We tried the food a couple times and everything has been tasty so far, especially the nachos and the French dip. read more

Double J Saloon - Beef sandwich dip with mac salad. - Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Quaint dive bar ambiance where the food outshines the drink which is a tough feat in itself. Hats off to "THE CHEF" your BBQ beef and pulled pork sando tickled my test buds. This is a great bar to come to after work with some co-workers and knock a few. Surprisingly delighted. read more

A great spot to belly up and have a few drinks for the big game, or stop in for one before or after catching the bus. The Double J Saloon, has a friendly, no judgement style staff that welcomes everyone with the same attitude. They make strong drinks for a reasonable price, and always have good deals for happy hour. It may not look like a place you would go for a bite, but their menu is surprisingly good! We have had the homemade cheese dip, and two different flatbreads. Both have been delicious. read more

A perfect neighborhood bar filled with board games, classic 80's and 90's music, and a pool table. I couldn't ask for more! Drinks were reasonably priced. I had a manhattan and it was one of the better ones I've had in awhile. People would sing along to the songs, but the music wasn't too loud. you could still carry a descent conversation. The pictures uploaded on Yelp, don't give this place justice. I'll take pictures next time I go. It's a "dive" bar but not as seedy as the backdoor which isn't quite my scene. I'm looking forward to trying some of their food and watching football here with friends in the fall. read more

Exactly what Lake City needed! The Double J really fills a need in this neighborhood, it's a full service bar that you wouldn't be embarrassed to take out-of-town folks too. They have a full bar and a decent cocktail menu as well as your standard beer choices. I haven't tried their food yet but it smelled really good. I look forward to going back and trying some. read more

We luuuuurv it here. Laid-back, reasonably priced, great jukebox (download the Touchtunes app), and tasty bar food. Friendly staff. Why aren't you here right now? Get over here. But expect a divey atmosphere and no fanciness. read more

The beer I had was awesome and service was friendly! I didn't get any food but it smelled super good and the happy hour prices were great. I'll be coming back! read more

This place is a great dive bar. They have the best ribs in town. I have had them without bbq sauce because they are so so moist. They have great bbq sauce 3 different KC style and a Carolina if you so choose read more

We were excited to have a new spot to try on Lake City Way. Bartenders seemed surly and disconnected - just not friendly or engaged at all. Place was permeated with a burnt cheese smell which I still haven't forgotten. We asked about food and one of the bartenders gestured wordlessly toward the board at the front; menu unclear. Won't be back. read more

Great new casual spot with all the fab bartenders from Ravenna Ale House - bring your liver ....or not...food pretty good too ....unsure about following the crew from the move , but turned out to be well worth it read more
