Pull tabs all over the floor, kind of fun.
Heather J.

Light rail has become and integral part of my life, which means I now look for bathrooms and stop offs close to stations. I had been to this place a few times previously, but now it seems to be more of a regular stop. It's great if you are going to an event at a stadium or needing to do something in Chinatown, do beware it gets crowded on event days. It's pretty large inside with lots of tables and bar seating. If you snag a window you can enjoy some great people watching. My partner enjoys the full bar, but I usually just opt for house wine. I've not tried the food, but it is available. Prices seem reasonable. You can also enjoy some pull tabs.

I had the cheeseburger and fries . They were made to order so it was hot and fresh. The burger was okay, nothing too special but perfectly acceptable. The fries were hot and crispy, just a bit heavy handed with the season salt. The service was very good, nice and fast. The atmosphere is a bit dive bar and grill.

Recent visit to Seattle to a very friendly little known pub with amazing rib eye steak sandwich with fries. Done just right, tender and crispy fries.

Joe's is located right next to the International District light rail station and is also very close to the sports stadiums so you can grab a drink here before going to a game. Even if you don't go you can hang out here to watch them on the TVs. This is your typical dive bar with your usual dive bar fare like bar food, an arcade, TVs, a pool table, and pull tabs. It's a corner bar that is unassuming with not much signage. Well drinks were $6.50 which are an okay deal. It's a local bar so it always has interesting characters with unique personalities so that makes for a good time. The bar itself also has a lot of character.

Cheeseburger with Fries

This is a great lively dive bar in the International District. The service here is great, even when it is slammed. The food here is bar food options. I have tried a few different items and the best is the cheeseburger with fries. It's a nice burger with fresh tomato and crispy lettuce. The fries are fantastic. They are seasoned well and have a great crunch to them. However, the mozerella sticks and jalapeño poppers did not disappoint and are a great snack. For the drinks, the prices are reasonable and they are worth the price. Last but not least, they have pull tab lotto which is great fun while waiting on your food or while watching the game. Overall, this is a great dive bar to come to.

Haven't tried the food here yet but the atmosphere is a cool dive bar feel and the service was good.

The receipt they provided when I asked for one because they charged us $160 for this tab. 9 rounds at $7 don't add up to $160

This bar is the worst experience I ever had. Me and my dude decided to go to Joe's and we start a tab. We run into my auntie there. We decided to visit with her and stayed for about four hours. When asked to cash out. I did my card first. The bartender named LuLu was our bartender. I cashed out with her and it was $80. I went to the restroom l came out and I see my dude looking upset. He said he cashed out with a bartender named Felicity and he was charged $80. He said that doesn't make sense since we are going half on the tab. When I tried asking Felicity about the bill she automatically gets frustrated and yells she is calling the cops. I was confused on what we did besides asked to explain to us how we are each paying $80 a piece. Her and LuLu refused to answer our questions. I asked if we can get a receipt and LuLu hands a hand written sheet of her tally of how many rounds we ordered. We end up paying the $80 a piece and they still kicked us out and said we cannot come back. Be careful this bar when they think you are too intoxicated they try to rob you with no shame.

The type of bar I wouldn't be surprised to find my dad in after he got off work. I snagged one of…read morethe few open stools at the bar. Monday is a busy day as it is ALL DAY HAPPY HOUR and there are real happy hour savings here. How about a cheeseburger with a generous side of fries for $8.95????? The fries were great, hot and crispy, with sides of ketchup and spicy ranch. The burger was real and honest, two of my highest compliments for a cheeseburger. Made to order exactly right. Bun was toasted and smeared with aioli and had a nice crisp. Solid toppings of lettuce, two slices of tomatoes, red onion, and several pickle chips. These were presented on the side so I could dress the burger as I liked. The whole thing was delicious. I had a well gin and tonic at the HH price of $8.95. Overall, a very good meal and a great deal. I was greeted as soon as I walked in, the busy bartender acknowledged me as soon as I sat down, and I was immediately drawn into conversation by the regulars on either side of me. As I often eat out solo, I'm used to striking up conversations with strangers, but I didn't have to make much effort here. Fun company! Solo eaters are welcome. I'll be back and I definitely recommend!

We were promptly greeted, grabbed a booth with its own TV, and got the first round of drinks going. While service lagged a bit through the stay I have a hard time complaining too much. To be honest we were a bit slower drinkers compared to some of the patrons, so I can see why were left a bit to our own. The food was outstanding. My wife crushed the quesabirria tacos (such bright and floral tasting shredded beef) and I had an incredibly tasty and overly filling Cod fish and chips. The only complaint I can really lob is towards the restroom space. Forgive me a minutes for getting on a soapbox here - but what is it about sprots bars and restrooms? I get that guys (and gals) can be pigs. I also get that this is a low priotity / non revenue generating space. But could you please spend just a little time / money on bleach, paint, and some decent fixtures? I know people are AWFUL and are always destroying things, no matter how well built and durable it is. But I just hate it when bars and resturants fail to update restrooms. Buckely was no exception. The excellent food quality sticker on the doors, the service and drink choice (and the outstanding meal on my table) speak to your ability to put together great quality and safety processes in the kitchen. It would be great if you could spend a bit of that same effort in bring up the standard in restroom. OK rant off! Great place and we will be back regardless.

Came here for happy hour with some colleagues. The ambiance was nice and the patio was so nice with…read morefire pits. I ordered the rosemary popcorn, fried green beans, and cheese curds. These are the best cheese curds ever bc the batter isn't heavy like other cheese curds I've had. It's tempura battered so it's light and you can taste the cheese more. The jalapeño strawberry dip and ranch are good dips, but try them together and it will blow your mind. The fried green beans were okay. They did have a heavier batter on them and I wish they had the same batter the cheese curds had. The spicy dip was good! The rosemary popcorn was delicious! It had just enough butter and the perfect amount of rosemary where it's not overpowering. Once you get to the bottom, there's tons of butter and you just dip and soak it up with the popcorn. Also, PATTI was AMAZING!!!! She checked in on us throughout the evening. She's very sweet and I will be back bc of Patti!

I visited on Super Bowl Sunday, about 2-3hrs before the game to get seats. This was a good idea because there was only a handful of seats available. We were lucky enough to get a table for 4 of us. The hosts were very welcoming and go us seated at the bar when it was only two of us. When we informed them about an hour prior to kick off that we needed two more seats, they did their best to get us seated. It was very kind of them to even look around, let alone actually find us space. This was very much appreciated. The first hour or so, when there was only two of us, we had a few beers, the cheese curds and the chicken fried steak with potatoes. The beers were exactly what you think they would taste like and they weren't terribly expensive which was nice. The cheese curds were a great shareable item, good flavor and a fair amount of them. The chicken fried steak was good, nothing crazy, but not below average. Portion was good sand it was cooked right to have that nice crips on the outside with the gravy poured over top. I think the only thing I wasn't that big of a fan of was the potatoes, I should've opted for the tots or hash potatoes instead, but I'll have to try it again. Yes, I would recommend this place. Seems like a good place to meet with friends for a game and meet friends. I almost forgot to mention they have an outside area in the back was is covered so there's more than enough space to maneuver and enjoy your time.

I made a reservation ahead of time, but when we got there around 8 pm we realized we probably didn't need one because it was seat yourself and still pretty open. No complaints though, it made it easy to grab a table and settle in. The vibe was cool. Definitely a sports bar feel with TVs around, and as the night went on the DJ started getting set up which I can imagine makes it a fun spot on a Friday night for people meeting up after work or hanging out with friends. We decided to share a few things so we could try a little bit of everything. We ordered the catfish bites, lemon pepper wings, garlic parmesan wings, and macaroni and cheese. I'll start with the positives because the service was great. Everyone we interacted with was friendly and helpful, which always makes a difference. Food-wise, it just didn't totally hit for me. The catfish bites had a really tasty batter, but the texture threw me off a little. I personally like my catfish cooked a little harder, and these were a bit soft for my liking. The lemon pepper wings were a little too salty for me, and the wings themselves weren't cooked quite the way I like them. I tend to like my wings cooked a little harder, so these felt a bit soft and bulky to me (if that makes sense). The garlic parmesan wings were okay flavor-wise, but still similar in texture. The macaroni and cheese was okay. Nothing bad, just pretty standard. The menu itself has a good mix of comfort food and bar favorites like chicken and waffles, shrimp & grits, burger & fries....so there are definitely options to try. Overall, the service were great, the vibe was cool and I can definitely see this being a fun spot once the DJ gets going and the place fills up. The food just didn't quite land for me personally this time. I gave it 3 stars, but if Yelp allowed half stars it would probably be closer to a 3.5 for me. I'd still be open to coming back and trying a few other things on the menu.
