"Ballard easily defeats all other Seattle neighborhoods when it comes to dive bars, and among the Ballard options, Hattie’s Hat is queen regnant. This building has been an operating saloon since 1904, and it takes all kinds at this place—you’ll meet a mix of fresh-faced Gen Zers and grizzled blue-collared dock workers, all congregated around the glorious mahogany bar. Hattie’s serves diner classics like meatloaf and pork ribs, with food available until midnight, and there’s always a weird movie rolling on the VHS player. If you haven’t been to Thursday-night karaoke in the wood-paneled Aunt Harriet’s Room, do you even live in Seattle?" - Meg van Huygen
