    We traveled all the way from Grand Rapids, MI and met Eric (Bartender). He truly was INCREDIBLE! He was so friendly and even took the time to give us recommendations on where to visit here in Seattle. This bar is incredible! The food is to die for and the chipotle ranch goes with everything!

    Dive time at streamline! Came here on a Packed Saturday night for some drinks and I remarked to the doorman that it looked like New Years in here. He got a good chuckle out and was real mellow which for me seems to be a good sign of a place. Right off the bat I was surprised how cheap the drinks are here. Surprised at how awesome it is. I got the first round for me and a friend and it was only $15! These were mixed drinks too, I'm used to paying that much for just 1 not 2! Following that, they were pretty good too, considering how mobbed the barkeep was. Again this place is DIVEY - drabby, low lit, old and shabby looking furniture and just looks overall worn, save for the stickers and such plastered all over as if to help hide it. Even the sign outside looks it would be at some roadside stop. I had some wings which were pretty good. Some were fat and saucy. Chatted up some of characters who let's just say they were at the end of their streamlines and fit right into to the atmosphere. One of whom looked like Tommy Wiseau. Maybe it was him? Fun spot. Would go back for the drinks for sure.

    After and hour and a half flight to Seattle, three of us took an Uber to our Airbnb and unpacked. We were ready for a cold one at a nearby bar. This place was right around the corner and upon entering we were greeted by the bartender and grabbed a seat at the large bar. After getting some good information about local places to eat/drink, we downed a couple of beers and were off to get some fish and chips. Nice people at this dive bar and a good start to what we all hope is a great trip in Seattle.

    This place has got to be one of Seattle's best dive bars. From the interior and exterior looks of it...it's an old house wooden house. Warm and cozy with dark moody lighting, a long classic old bar where when seated you can see everything , almost everywhere all at once. X mas lights hanging from the walls, old classic neon booze lights, booth tables, a couple of flat screens,,, music on the PA but the cacophony of bar chatter drowns it all out. It's a few minutes from the Climate Pledge Arena( aka formerly Key Arena).Lots of locals and a several out of towners like myself. Me loves it. Talk about frenetic energy and good vibes! Good bang for your buck .

    First off dive bars are my go to bars. This is as divey as it gets; local regulars, pool, Smokey smell, punk decor and cheap drinks. I stopped here while In town for work to people watch and grab a couple drinks and am glad I did. Streamline had a great vibe, great bartender, cheap drinks and made me wish I was a regular.

    I love dive bars and Streamline didn't fail. Free street parking can be found. Credit cards are accepted in the bar (located upstairs) area. The kitchen (located downstairs) accepts cash only. Happy hour is offered in the bar daily from 4pm-7pm. A barrel of peanuts (self-serve) is available to snack on while slurping. On Thursday's, beef and bean tacos are $1 from 5pm-11pm. Streamline doesn't offer table-service. Drinks orders are placed and picked up at the bar. Food orders are placed at the kitchen window. Food orders are dropped off at ones' table (the cook will "find you"). Streamline doesn't have AC so expect to sweat during warm days. Tables are on the small side so the fit is snug. A single pool table is located downstairs for those interested in shooting pool. An outdoor patio/deck is available for smokers or for those wishing to sit outdoors. Pints of Manny's were $4 (hh). My wife and I shared the Chicken Strip Basket w/ Tots for $8. Perfect bar grub. Staff are blunt, unapologetic and real. Perfect to me. Patrons were all over the spectrum. You could tell that everybody just wanted to have a good time while slurping on an ice-cold brew. Thank you Streamline for keeping it real and unpretentious. I/we will find ourselves in your bar before every Key Arena event going forward.

Time without number I've found myself here, be that first dates, my birthday, or New Year's Eve, and it always feels like home. If home were a clown/carnival themed acid trip of a pinball arcade bar, that is. And what's not to love about that? The bar tenders here are cool and friendly people who pour drinks with a heavy hand, and understand the mission: get the patrons who want to be drunk, drunk. The first few times I visited, I felt a leeriness about ordering food. But once I got over myself, I kinda fell in love with the menu, and I've probably eaten everything on it (including the clam chowder). Their hot dogs are wonders to behold, utter symphonies for the senses, and I refuse to visit Shorty's without getting one. Best dog in Seattle? Why yes. I think so. To paraphrase one reviewer: "Take your date here. If she doesn't like it, she's lame and you shouldn't waste your time with her anyways." Shorty's is the bomb.

    The male bartender was extremely rude. As soon as we walked in, he aggressively asked for our IDs…read more Then, while my cousins and I were looking through the food menu, he barely gave us a chance to read it before saying, "I'll take whoever is ready to make my life easier." That's not something paying customers want to hear. I ended up ordering a drink for myself while the guys were looking at the menu because they were doing a food hop, and us girls were doing a bar hop. During that time, the bartender came back to our table at least four times within about five minutes. Instead of being attentive, it felt pushy and aggressive, especially since they were still deciding what they wanted. I've been here a few times before, but after this experience, this will definitely be my last visit.

The bartender said Screwdriver Bar. I looked it up, closed my tab, and walked over to Screwdriver Bar which was a short walk back to my hotel. Score! First off don't get confused. There is one (1) door attendant possibly for two venues?! I want to say there was a venue on top of this bar. Either way I saw Screwdriver Bar was downstairs so be sure you kinda know where you are going. Screwdriver Bar is (seemingly) free from a cover. I walked down the steps and entered a whole world of vinyl records, throw back artwork and memorabilia that filled the very top of the ceiling all the way down to the tables and floor.

I did a search for nearby eateries, and this was at the top of the list, with high ratings as well. I love that this is labeled as a dive. It truly is and it embraces that description.

As soon as you walked in you could see why they label it a dive. What I noticed most was the warmth this place emitted. How welcoming it is as soon as you walked in here. As soon as I walked up to the bar and found a seat, I was greeted warmly by staff and able to look over the menu. The staff here are part of the charm. The staff, and I can't say this enough, were wonderful. You can tell this is a great place to work if staff show up early for their shift to just hang out. The guy behind the counter was great. He was funny and interactive. Chatting and taking jabs at the regulars. Where I was seated I had a front row seat to just about all the action. I was near the serving window which looked right into the kitchen. I got to see them in there whipping up the dishes for each order placed. Constant stream of employees buzzing in and out and I got to overhear a lot of good chatter. Not wanting a big meal I went with and order of poutine. Just seemed like a perfect small meal to have. That warmth of fresh cut fries covered in cheese curd and gravy was the perfect meal to have midday. I wish I would have had more time in the city. I would have come back and frequented this spot more. I know if I ever do come back, I will definitely make this a stop again.
