Great local bar with great mellow vibes from the locals gathered around the bar area. The music flows from the smart phones of patrons that pay for their music choice on the Bluetooth jukebox. The back room has darts and shuffleboard games. Pizza is made to order and very tasty! Crust is not quite as thin as I like but the toppings make your tastebuds sing along with cheesy delight! Camrin the bartender is very attentive to each customers needs and has a unique style of made to order drinks for those seeking that extra kick. I enjoyed a local Mac & Jacks African Amber draft with my 7" personal pizza. Four Fabulous Stars for a local bar with reasonable pub grub and cold beer! read more

HEAR YE, HEAR YE! The Pied Piper Tavern isn't just a bar--it's where the Habsburg dynasty meets "The Three Musketeers" on energy drinks. Every night, this establishment transforms into a swashbuckling spectacle of questionable historical accuracy and absolutely magnificent wigs. The moment you walk in, you're greeted by patrons in full 17th-century regalia, complete with powdered wigs that defy both gravity and reason. The house rules require you to announce your noble title and at least three generations of fictitious ancestry before ordering a drink. The bartenders, all claiming to be deposed princes from obscure Eastern European principalities, serve drinks with the kind of flourish that would make actual aristocrats feel underdressed. Their signature cocktail, "The Transylvanian Throwdown," comes served in a chalice that you must defend with your rapier or risk losing to a roving band of self-proclaimed "baronial beverage bandits." The drinks menu is written in what they claim is authentic 1600s handwriting, but it's really just Steve the bartender's terrible penmanship with extra curlicues. Every Thursday is "Grand Duchy Thunder Dome," where regulars compete in elaborate sword-fighting choreography while declaring increasingly ridiculous claims to extinct thrones. Last week, someone claimed to be the "Grand Duke of Lower Upper Middle Slovenkija" while performing a perfect parry-riposte sequence in platform boots and a ruff collar the size of a car tire. The weekly tournament has become legendary. Picture thirty people in elaborate brocade costumes and powdered wigs, all dramatically gasping and falling to the ground shouting things like "Zounds! The Duke of Whoknowswhereia has bested me again!" The insurance company has officially classified it as "17th-century parkour with pointy implements." Five stars. Would absolutely risk getting challenged to a duel over the last order of mozzarella sticks by someone claiming to be the rightful heir to the throne of a country that definitely never existed. Just remember to bring your own saber (they rent them, but the deposit is outrageous) and at least three fake royal seals. P.S. There's a persistent rumor that if you can defeat the mysterious "Black Knight of the Bar Rail" (it's just Dave from accounting in a really nice costume) in single combat, you're granted the title of "Supreme Ruler of Happy Hour." Results disputed by several self-proclaimed princes. read more

Love pied piper!! It's a little dive bar and the service was great! The bartender kept checking on us every few minutes. I ordered a Bloody Mary and it came with ALL the fixings! All the people are so nice and most were regulars. read more

Pied Piper Tavern - Bloody Mary - Dive Bars Near Me - Kent, Washington

Nothing special about this place. Standard dive bar. Some of the staff was nice on the days I went. Some not so friendly (not mean). Decent drink selection. Didn't try the food. I'd go back for a drink or two. read more

This is a nice little neighborhood bar that does everything right. From the staff that is always making sure you have a full glass to how they treat everyone like family . You are only a stranger once and the drinks are amazing . I have to try the food special next time read more

Cadillac margaritas $14.75!! Nearby bars less than $10.00. Need I say more? Some of the pricing here is misguided irregardless of inflation. read more

Just walking into this place it seems like it's really small. Just a bar area with a table and shuffleboard. I could tell by the volume though, that there was most certainly another area some where. The back area yields a TON more space, packed with people there for karaoke. Definitely a spot with a ton of regular clientele! All and all it's a fun little dive bar where Kent residents come to hang out and be part of their community. read more

We had to play at Pied Piper for our dart league - I've seen this bar a few times, but it's always seemed a little sketchy to me. I'm glad to report that is indeed not sketchy and is actually a lot bigger than it appears from the outside! There's a main front area with traditional bar seating and access to the bartenders, but if you go towards the back there's tons more seating and five or six dart boards lined up. It was pretty good sized (in my opinion) and the bartender we had for the night was super nice. Try the cheesy bacon tater tots... They're amazing! Only downfall as far as their menu goes is that they don't offer Blue Moon. :( read more

Went here for the first time since all the restaurants were closed around us and I was super impressed. The bartender was super friendly and attentive. The environment was so clean we literally had conversations at the table about how clean it was. And as a women I was very impressed with how clean the bathroom was. I never post on yelp but I thought this place deserved a shout out. read more

This place is my go-to karaoke bar. The grouchy old woman I mentioned before, is actually pretty cool and knows me by name. I only come here maybe once a month, and only on Friday's for karaoke, but it still feels like home every time I step foot inside. Definitely recommend this place for local karaoke. The host is great - the singers are great, and there is often time EDVIS, the local Elvis impersonator. This old guy is rad and is dressed to the nines for Kent. read more

YIKES. They watered that vodka down like the Russians in Chicago. Tasted like chlorine and lemon. That's a NOPE from me read more

This is a neighborhood tavern right in the middle of the historic district of Kent. Typical regulars, but we did have a new bartender (her 4th day). No real kitchen, just hot plates, microwaves and the like. Lot's of beers on tap. It has a regulation shuffle board table! You don't see that often as it takes at least 25' to accommodate a regulation table. One bar size pool table and no air conditioning. I like the place, it's just that it doesn't measure up to all the great taverns that Seattle has. read more

This place is TINY! But, during the summer time, they have a beer garden outside and always lots of fun things going on to keep you coming back. The owner is an awesome guy, and he does a lot for the community as well as the regular 'family/friends' that come in. A small place like this with SO many regulars can be a bit intimidating - but, once you've made yourself comfortable, everyone is very nice! The BLT here is really good - so are the loaded TOTS! Drinks are a little overpriced for the venue in my opinion, and especially since the local competition is a bit cheaper. This is a dart bar - and every Saturday night is JAM-PACKED with the weekly tournament. Parking SUCKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS - and, usually I park next door at the Airways Brewery (must suck for them!). One last tip - if you have a license that is still vertical, but are 21 - they will not serve you...don't say I didn't warn you! read more

The Pied offers you that down home feel when you walk through the doors. 5 dart boards and a great shuffleboard! Dart shoots going on all the time check out their web site! Home made pizza that is yummy and so is their nachos! Great prices and they have daily specials ~ read more

Food is pretty good. Prices are okay. Just a good fun Dive Bar atmosphere awesome Seahawk colors read more

Used to come here all the time, our neighborhood bar, but now we are gouged for money. They charge to run my card, they charge for juice in my drink!!!! Really??? Juice in my drink is extra???? Unfortunately I am no longer a regular customer. The fees and charges are just too much. This is now our Now and then place, alcohol is the price point in a bar, mixers are mixers. Charging me for my mixer is over the top. I won't be coming to the Pied Piper Tavern for a long time read more

Small little dive bar that has shuffle board and many digital dart boards. Cheap food and cheap drinks. They also have a great deal on Jell-O shots. Perfect for a prefunk before any event at ShoWare center down the street. read more

A dive bar to be sure. Shuffle board, darts, and karaoke. Food is deep fried meh. Beer is decent. I think the prices here a little high for where you are. It took the kitchen an hour to make a quesadilla, and a grilled ham and cheese. read more

I don't care how much the drinks are. Awesome hospitality and great people! I shall be back! Love hats it's walking distance from home! Rock music is on point! read more

A great array of local Kent people. Grab a beer and watch the game and you will be comfortable. You will be suprised at the selection of beers...from the fizzy yellow stuff, to Firestone Walker and Irish Death. Don't let the dartboards fool you, this dive has an inviting staff that will recognize your smile after a couple visits. read more

Good place just crowded for the size a lot. But is a great time to Jane out with the function going on that night. Good food and the drinks are poured right. read more

I walked in the door, and got to the end of the bar before I got stopped and ID'd. They told me I had to leave because I didn't have a sideways ID, regardless of the fact that I'm legally of age. read more

I walked in not knowing what to expect and it's exactly as advertised on here by others: a small dive bar, but not 'dive' in a bad way. It was a fun place to stop by for a drink. Bartender was super friendly and it was definitely filled with a lot of regulars. read more

A small, local bar with lots of good energy! Lots of places to sit and friendly people. There are a lot of choices for drinks and I would definitely come back. There's always someone singing the cuts!!!! It's great read more

I have been there a lot of times, the environment there is always great, not only do they have great and delicious Alcohol but also a lot of food as well. Such as their burgers and then they also have popcorn as well. It has definitely become my go to place whenever I'm in Kent weather that is going to a Seattle Thunderbirds game or just hanging out in Kent in general. And there's also even times where I even went there for a beer after a work out as well, The people there are always very friendly and nice. read more

Love the Pied Piper. We've been three times now before hockey games and have been treated very well each time. The staff is great and make you feel welcome. There is not a huge selection of beer on tap, but what they do have is good. The food is typical bar food. I get the mac and cheese bites every time and dip them in their tapatio mayo. I'm obsessed with that now and have started making my own at home. Why doesn't every bar have it??? My boyfriend is a big fan of their grilled cheese on wheat bread. He says their bread is well above average particularly for a dive bar. It's too bad we don't live closer. We'd be here a lot. read more

Nice enough hole-in-the-wall neighborhood bar. Standard selection of beer at reasonable to high price, full bar with pricy drinks ($2 higher than just down the street), quick and friendly service, mediocre food, fun events. An ok place to watch Seattle sports and a spot where U of Montana Griz fans congregate. read more

Nice little neighborhood bar with a normal selection of beer and spirits, although the beer and drink prices are pretty high for this type bar (regular beer is $4.50, a whiskey-coke is around $6.00 - about $2 higher than bars within a two block radius, plus there's a $0.50 charge on ALL debit/credit cards). A very limited "kitchen" with typical bar food at regular prices. Three middle-sized TV's, shuffleboard, darts. read more

Had a great time. My bartender Kelly was always there for anything I needed. A very fun and friendly atmosphere. Can't wait to come back to Kent just so I can stop in again! read more
