    Fried Mozzarella
    Anthony W.

    I simply adore this place. The drinks are made well and it's an old school Seattle "dive" bar that's no longer a dive. The food is basic bar grub but made well and with unique twists. I order the fried mozzarella balls every time. They are entire fresh balls of mozzarella deep fried and all gooey when they arrive. The burger, salads and chicken are all done right. If you're looking for a fun dive bar to visit with both indoor and outdoor seating, this is a great place to hit. Fortunately I have a friend who lives a block away, so I have an excuse to visit here on a regular basis. .

    Twilight Burger with Fries.

    Twilight burger was sooo delicious, and the tots were nice and crispy. I'm new to drinking and their pink drink was surprisingly good. Nice and quick service. Can't wait to go back.

    Fried Chicken Sandwich
    Meralina M.

    This is definitely a dive bar, and their food is definitely great!! It can get very crowded in the evenings. The chicken sandwich was MASSIVE! Very nice and crunch and flavorful. You also get a large portion of fries! The staff was nice as well. They could make better cocktails, especially their listed ones, but the ciders they have are great and they do have a wide array of spirits. This place is all street parking, and you enter from the alley way :)

    Thee neighborhood spot that checks a ton of boxes: * Delicious made in-house food * fairly priced good cocktails * excellent lighting and art inside * french cafe music ambiance * large outdoor seating area * good vibes

    Plenty of indoor seating

    Great Seattle dive bar with outdoor seating and plenty of room! Pinball, photo booth, great staff.

    Totchos

    An excellent, old-school dive. Nothing new Seattle about it and that's fine with us. Try the nachos with tots.

    Greek fries - could use more feta please :)

    After a walk with a high school friend around volunteer park during this recent Seattle heat wave/…read moresmoke from the fires, we were in desperate need of an ice cold beverage. Even though their patio was in direct sunlight, there was a shade that perfectly covered the upper body, so your face stayed shaded. We got their basket of fries for happy hour. They did the thick cut fries extremely well. Normally, I'm a skinny fry girl, but these ones has a delightful amount of crisp and seasoning. Additionally, they offering lots of different type of sauce options. I went with the fry sauce aka secret sauce. The ranch was excellent though. I had the cider on draft. It wasn't very sweet if that's what you're into. Now the watermelon slushie situation though. That was a sweet refreshing drink. Perfect hot summer day drink. Inside the bar is kind of dark dive bar, but they have some card games and board games that you can play as well if that's more your vibe.

It was oddly charming since I rarely go to dive bars so felt like this was all a little novel. I ordered a tequila soda and didn't really like it. I didn't specify what kind of tequila, so figure it was just the house stuff and that was why it wasn't to my liking. The guy was cool about it and said he could make me a new drink or add some pineapple juice to give it more flavor. They do not have food, but if you are nice they might give you a cup of cashews from the nut bar. We went for karaoke and it was great vibes. Fun songs, welcoming environment, cool set up. I don't always feel comfortable doing karaoke in public with a bunch of randos but felt good up there singing one of my favorite songs. People were all cheering and having a great time. Def a fun community here.

Don't expect service, they're pretty no-frills so it's get your drink and vibe type of place. I will say other patrons and some staff were much more friendly than I was ready for. This place is definitely run down, a little old, and stinky, but that's what's charming about this little bar, they're not pretentious or try-hards here, despite the area they're in. We were sad to learn that they don't sell any food, just drinks, pool, games, and vibes.

The gentleman at the front of the house was running everything on his own and did an amazing job managing the steady flow of customers. It was so nice to see regulars coming in--he knew them by name and they clearly knew him, which created such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The food was very good! I ordered a soup and a sandwich, which isn't something I usually go for, but I really enjoyed it. I would love to come back and try their dinner menu, especially if it includes more protein options. I would definitely revisit!
