Drinks ready

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.

We arrived 2 hours before the Lizzo concert, which was perfect to snag a big table for our group. Despite it getting busier, the staff were more than friendly, so genuine. Drinks were good. Atmosphere was laid back and festive at the same time. Unfortunately, as others have noted, before the concert they only had the fried foods for purchase and they only take cash to pay for food. I would love to come here again for any occasion, big or small.

This place was near their hotel so we took a stroll and settled in because it wasn't crowded, we were maybe 1 group out of 4 groups of people total.

Stopped into Shorty's across the street from Bangrak after lunch and WOW... this place was a blast…read more It's quirky as hell and I mean that as a compliment. They've got tons of pinball machines, but the thing I absolutely LOVED were the booths with the pinball machines built right into the tables. I've never seen that before and immediately thought it was such a cool idea. Definitely the kind of spot you stop into for a drink and then end up hanging out way longer than you planned. Overall just a really fun little bar with a lot of character. I'd absolutely come back.

They have games, an ATM to get quarters to play the games, free condoms box above the quarter ATM. And my favorite part a Photo Booth! A great bar to me has a Photo Booth, street fighter, and private booths. This has it all. Love how we can have fun playing games, taking pics, choosing a song, and having great conversations in the comfy booths. Service is helpful. One night one of the games ate our quarters up and never worked so we let the bartender know and a few minutes later he gave us our quarters back. Staff is efficient and keeps the bar clean picking up any left behind glasses quickly. The bar is quirky and fun. Private and comfy booths, and lots of clowns everywhere. Sad clowns, happy clowns, creepy clowns, and more clowns than you can count! The bathrooms are unisex with plenty of stickers to look at. Always hand soap and toilet paper available even when busy. Hard working staff! Some areas of the bar like near the bathrooms have flashy lights and makes it feel like you're at the circus. The vibe is laid back and care free. Have yet to try the food so no words on that quite yet! Always a great time at Shorty's. Literally one of my favorite bars! Highly recommend!

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. This spot made me feel welcomed right off the bat with laughter, people dancing, and a busy bar staff serving up all the drinks from tallboys to fancy hand shaken cocktails. I really enjoyed my time here when I visited. On the menu I thought I saw a dumpling type of food situation going on. I know I smelled good warm food smells but I did not have a chance to order anything (I ate somewhere else). Mostly locals here which made me feel good as the recommendation was spot on and the others here were all having a great time which was the vibe I needed during my stay in Belltown.

Very cool dive bar with an old punk rock, mildly gothy vibe. The cocktails available and the…read morequality is better than your average dive bar. It was pretty packed on Friday or Saturday, can't quite remember which day I was there. I didn't order but nobody at the table had problems with service. The music was loud, and everyone was talking, yet a chill vibe, everyone just having a good time. I'd easily come back and I recommend.

They don't seem to split bills based on seat, but can do even splitting amongst a party. Music is a little loud, but they have a jukebox so you can pick different music. I came here during lunch, so it would be interesting to check out the vibe at night. Food was ok. I got the chicken tenders and fries. The tenders were basically ones you buy in the freezer section at the grocery store. They provided a generous serving of fries and I didn't end up finishing them. I wouldn't order this again. Happy hour menu looked reasonably priced, so I might go back to check that out.

Wow, this review is 8 years old! I want to share my experience with Some Random Bar…read more In 2017, my mom and I visited Seattle for me to look at apartments and interview for jobs. We came here to eat because it was near our hotel. I was OBSESSED with the crab nachos. 2 months later, I moved out here all on my own. Now, 8 years later, I live nearby. Whenever someone is visiting, we come here. Whenever I run into a stranger visiting, i say they have to come here. My friends know if i'm celebrating anything, "are you getting crab nachos?!" It's become a part of my personality at this point. I have so much respect for the owners, the way they run their business and their honesty online. No one I've brought here has had a bad thing to say regardless of what they ordered. My go to is: Pull apart bread, crab nachos (with their hot sauce!! which, btw can i buy that by the bottle.. cause YUM) + whatever drink is calling my name (they rotate, but if you can get the pina colada you won't regret it). tldr; you'll regret NOT coming here.

As with all things lately, prices have gone up on some of their rarer pours. The standard basic cocktails though were still reasonable and decently priced for the location. The atmosphere is great and service was pretty quick. The outdoor patio is still there which was a nice addition from 2019/2020 era. Some of their bourbons are still reasonably priced. Their food is pretty good. Would recommend the tacos, the burger, and carne asada. The nachos were not particularly for me, and also seemed to come out cold. Seemed to have cheese sauce instead of actual cheese. It was a cold day however. This place is mainly great for happy hour after work, but will come back and try dinner another time. Staff is great though. Really quaint and awesome spot to post up. good food, good service, good drinks, good selection, and still better pricing than most bars with what they have to offer. Will be going back again sooner. cheers

The rear hallway featured some excellent wallpaper, and the gender neutral bathroom had cocktail recipe graffiti.
