    Fries and a White Russian
    David F.

    If you're here for the food you're doing something wrong. The dancing is a blast and the live music is fun. Lots of strangers and partner swapping on the dance floor. Busy on the weekends. The fries are tasty and they'll even make you a White Russian.

    A busy Monday

    As an Appalachian native living in Seattle, this place is a slice of the best parts of home. People are friendly and welcoming if you treat them the same way. Drinks are affordable and good bang for your buck, don't expect a craft cocktail, get your vodka redbull or your modelo and take it easy. Line dancing on Mondays is so fun and very busy from what I've seen. Karaoke on Wednesdays is always a blast. Took all my coworkers of many different ages and backgrounds and everyone had a blast. These are good people and this is a fun place!

    Open Mic Night Performance
    Kevin H.

    I went for Sunday Open Mic night hosted by Billy Bodacious. I don't frequently listen to country, but was refreshing to hear the local Seattle musicians play a mix of country classics and original songs. Everyone was super friendly and welcoming for me jumping on stage and playing some original songs. I stuck around for the evening and got to play a second set of songs, backed by a bunch of great musicians who more than did a solid job keeping up with my songs and making them pop.

    Always love visiting Little Red Hen, I have so many memories from going here in college and my early 20s. Lots of great music and dancing. I wish they cleaned up the seating areas a bit though - the front was pretty full so we sat in the back section away from the bar. There were chairs stacked in the corner, a little messy all around. This place is a lot of fun but would be even better with some simple upgrades to the atmosphere. Will definitely be back on another night with live music though!!

What made the night truly special, though, was our server, Cosmo. It's one thing to have great service, but Cosmo went far beyond that. He took the time to talk with us, helped us choose drinks we ended up loving, and somehow managed to be attentive without ever feeling overbearing. He was funny, personable, and one of those people who instantly makes you feel comfortable. By the end of the night, it felt like we'd made a new friend. I've always believed that people make experiences memorable, and Cosmo is exactly the kind of person every restaurant hopes guests remember. We came for the rooftop views, but we'll be talking about Cosmo long after we've forgotten what we ordered. Thank you for making an already amazing night even more unforgettable. We can't wait to come back!

    I came here for karaoke on a Tuesday night and found the experience disappointing…read more Ambience was mediocre at best; the space was blandly decorated and slightly cramped (not sure having a pool table in the middle of that limited space is the greatest idea), with awkward positioning of the bar counter such that the entrance area was too crowded. The staff seemed distracted, but they at least did not appear to be cranky or hostile. The karaoke selection was lacking, and as a queer man I was uncomfortable seeing that all David Bowie songs were pointedly crossed out in the books. Reviews had suggested that the Monkey Pub, despite being located in the U District, had a clientele of more than just college students; this may be true on non-karaoke nights, but when I went, it had the same college-kid crowd as anywhere else in the neighborhood. Drink selection was average. Indeed, the bar itself was largely average. I found no evidence of anything particularly dramatically terrible on my visit to the Monkey Pub, but nothing to get excited about either. Only worth it for karaoke if you're desperate. Probably an okay place to get a drink, but I didn't really detect much of the character and "local flavor" that usually makes a good dive bar worth the trip.

So I'm sad to see the decline in this establishment. Upon entering I immediately noticed the worn upholstery in the booths. A serious makeover is needed. So trashy. But I get it times are hard. My food arrived on a chipped plate - time to throw it away folks. The counter server was very friendly as normal so that's a definite plus. However the BLT I ordered looked like they threw all the ingredients on the toast with no real prep. The tomato jam was not jam but pieces huge chunks too big to eat. While I'm glad they aren't skimping on the ingredients it was piled so high that it was challenging to eat. I ended up eating it in pieces with my fork and as such lost the tastiness of a combination of the flavors as it quickly became a deconstructed mess. A huge plus - the Seattle Fog was probably the best "London" fog I've ever had !!! Bravo. Not sure I'll come back again this visit. Maybe I'll check it next summer to see if improvements have been made.

    I have been going to the Mr West downtown for many years and finally had the chance to check out…read morethe U village location. They have so much outdoor seating, on both sides of the cafe, which I really like. Way more than downtown. Food came out super quick too. My go to order has always been the Mr Breakfast plate, it's super hearty and full of great breakfast foods. However, the price has increased exponentially and quality has definitely gone down. I used to pay around $15 for this plate and it included bacon and now it's $17 + an extra $4 to add 2 pieces of bacon. (The bacon is totally worth it though). The potatoes recipe need to be completely refined, or they need to offer a substitution option for them. They are overly soft and they don't have nearly enough seasoning. That was the only thing that remained on my plate when I was done! and the soft boiled egg tasted a little off to me, like it had been sitting for a bit long. Other than that, the Turkish eggs and chopped chicken salad were very fresh and good. Staff were super nice when ordering at the counter, coffees and pastries were good as well. Overall I will come back here, just would like to see some quality changes with the Mr Breakfast as it used to be very good.

Originally opened in 1934, the Blue Moon carries the kind of atmosphere you cannot recreate -- walls covered in decades of music, art, stickers, photographs, and stories. A dimly lit room packed with musicians, writers, artists, and people who genuinely appreciate creativity in its raw form. Throughout the night, the stage moved between live music, poetry, and performances from local artists while the crowd filled the tavern from the bar to the stage floor. Places like this remind me why independent art still matters. As an author traveling all over the United States -- and as someone who lived in the Seattle area for 2 1/2 years -- standing on that stage reading poetry from Purple Rose in a venue with this much history behind it was really something special. What I loved most was how welcoming the environment was. This is a very LGBTQ-friendly, art-friendly space where people genuinely support one another. If you are brand new to open mics or nervous about sharing your work for the first time, this is the kind of place where you will absolutely be shown kindness and encouragement. There were so many talented musicians, poets, and performers there, and you could really feel the appreciation for creativity throughout the room. The setup of the tavern itself is awesome. The stage and seating area wrap around the bar in almost a U-shape, so you can really choose your own vibe for the night. If you want to stay close to the performances and music, there is a dance floor and table area near the stage. If you want something more relaxed, you can hang back near the bar, have a drink, and still enjoy the atmosphere without being directly in the middle of everything. They also have a full bar, arcade games, board games, books to read, and even a small library on the shelves throughout the tavern. Somewhere inside, you may even find a signed copy of Purple Rose that I left hidden and dedicated to the historic Blue Moon itself. Beautiful evening with wonderful people. If you are ever in the area and have a skill you would love to share, go share your art. Find your copy of Purple Rose at JamesVThePoet.com

    I find myself stopping off here semi-regularly. I guess it's been this brewery for nearly 4 years…read morealready, but I did make it to the previous brewery a few times too. I appreciate that they open at noon on the weekends. It's close to the freeway, but street parking in this area can be challenging, but this is walking distance from the light rail station. It's usually not too crowded and I have never had trouble finding a place to sit. They seem to always have new things on tap and its kind of fun to be so close to the brewing tanks. There are games available to play (shuffleboard too) and a big projection screen if you are hoping to watch a sport. The sun shines in thru the window at the right time of day and makes it seem like a really cheery place. One thing that is unique that stands out is the bubbly water available self serve, if this is not your thing they will get you regular tap water behind the bar. I enjoy the variety of beers from IPA, to sour, to Barrel Aged Barley Wine. Of course there is regular wine, cider and non alcoholic options too. I appreciate that when I visit it never seems too loud and I am still able to enjoy a conversation. Best of all there are multiple bathrooms.
