If you're looking for a bar with more locals than tourist, then this is the bar for you. The other restaurants/bars in the area are larger, but are more on the expensive side.

We walked in as a party of 2 on a Thursday around 9pm and it was not too busy - probably half the bar was occupied. We opted to sit at one end of the bar because the bar seats are where the vibes are at. The place is decorated in a fairly elegant and old school manner, so you are somewhat transported away from the outside reality. We got the Tobe's Thique Mint and Garden Party. I loved the creaminess and cinnamon afternotes of Tobe's Thique Mint, and it also looks somewhat pretty. It is quite a heavy drink, so one was enough to fill me up. The Garden Party was a bit of a miss since as much as I tasted the orange and grapefruit, it was a very light drink and tasted a little watered down. The biggest plus is that the drinks are fairly affordable compared to the greater Seattle area, priced at $14. I liked how their menu says 14 for $14, as they have just 14 cocktails to choose from and the drinks seem to rotate seasonally. For us, we went just in time to still have the spring menu, but they will change to the summer menu on June 20.

On Fri-Sun from 7-9 is open mic comedy; karaoke from 9-1am. Come on a Thursday for live music. Parking sucked. We were two blocks away before we found a spot. So happens we caught the comedy show and there are some very funny up and comers in Seattle. Fair warning: it gets a bit raunchy and personal. However, the regulars seem to really dig this. We did get our chance to sing and it was a bit wild, in a good way. Great singers/horrible singers, most importantly, a supportive crowd. Pro Tip: Show up early and get your request for karaoke in. It started getting busy about an hour in, then you're looking at a long wait. The drinks are well made and not too expensive. The food is surprisingly good. A friendly bartender also helped make for a fun night!

The bartender, was great and inviting. He loved our dog--yes, dogs are allowed there! We decided to return for the NFL playoffs. We asked the bartender (a different one) to turn the music off and put the game on so we could hear it. He mentioned he didn't like football and wasn't keen on changing it. Quite bizarre for a sports pub! After a bit of begging and sincere niceness, he finally obliged. We ordered food, and anything fried took forever to come out. The bar was barely half full. My friend asked about her wings, and he stated it's very busy when football is on, and they only have one fryer. It took over an hour, and she even tried to cancel her order. The bartender was not friendly and pretty negative from the moment we walked in. Overall, the food is good with large portion sizes, which is a bonus. However, the service was disappointing. I'm giving them a 3 star since the bartender the first night we were there was a delight! He should be working all the time to have repeat customers!

We've been going to Phinney station since it opened and have always had a great time. Today was an…read moreunfortunate outlier. One of the employees approached us on the upstairs balcony to explain that we were being given a strike under the "one strike policy" due to our kids' misbehavior and lack of supervision. I could see all of our kids from where I was standing, and none of them were misbehaving. I asked her to tell me what specifically had happened and which kids were involved, but she was unable or unwilling to answer either question. The only time they had been out of our direct control was when I sent the 10 year old boys down to the counter to break a larger bill so they could share the change and play pinball, which is normal parenting behavior for kids of this age to foster independence (see the book The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt). They had returned without incident and were appropriately playing the machines with a dad from our group in the corner of the room. After the employee left, I asked around to see if anyone else knew what had happened. A person at the table next to ours told me that there were other kids (unknown to us) who had been acting "rambunctiously," and that they had just left with their parents. An older boy in our group also said that my autistic daughter had a rock in her shoe, and that he had helped her take them off to clear it. She was scolded by one of the other employees for taking her shoes off, which scared her (so scared that she continued talking about it until bedtime). Unable to find out what terrible things our kids had done, and also learning about the insensitivity displayed toward my neurodivergent daughter, I went downstairs to complain about what clearly seemed to be a misdirected reprimand. I didn't use profanity, but my tone definitely reflected defensiveness. There was still no clarification as to what had happened or who was involved. The employee's entire focus seemed to be on the tone I was using, but with no understanding of why someone in my situation might be understandably upset. I have no idea what version of this story made it back to her manager, but it was definitely not a complete retelling. The next time I tried to place an order, the manager informed me that my service had been discontinued. I tried to explain my side of the story, but she was unwilling to hear it. While I do applaud her willingness to support her employee, this was clearly a moment to collect more information rather than pass quick judgment on a long time customer. I would also note that I was not kicked out and remained on the premises for another 30 minutes while everyone else finished up. I mention this only to illustrate that nothing I said was actually threatening or otherwise qualifying as misconduct. I understand and respect the kid policy at Phinney Station, and I am always ready to police my kids when they're not in compliance. But threatening to kick families out without knowing what happened or whether you're even accusing the right people is sloppy and inappropriate. And expecting parents to not be offended by that kind of treatment is absurd. I apologized to the employee for my part, but no one on staff was willing to apologize or appreciate their role in this totally unnecessary event. I would discourage parents, particularly of neurodivergent kids who may not always be immediately understood, from patronizing this establishment. There are plenty of other great options on Greenwood Ave that take empathy, inclusion, and customer feedback far more seriously.
