I went here for the first time recently to see Rushadicus the goblin pole jester perform. What a magical night. Full of thrills, arousal, temptation and desire. I want to marry that little goblin. Yes I do. Performance area was properly sized and intimate and the bar staff were very kind, patient and helpful to my friend who wasn't sure what they wanted to drink so overall it was just a really excellent night. Can't wait to go back.

They are horrible members of our neighborhood. The front of their business is disgusting. Rotting food, hundreds of cigarette butts, empty cans. Strewn about everywhere. Today, a pile of human poop sits in their pergola on a picnic bench. Why should local residents have to deal with this? Does this bar hate its local community?

Shout-out to the closing bar tended last Wednesday who served me dirty water in a dirty cup. I did not expect anything less of passive aggressive racism from a white person in a town like Seattle. Fun night!

Caught a friend’s punk band here. Great vibe, great service, drinks were strong and everyone was friendly and having a great time. The performance space is small but has fun funky decorations. Perfect for a local band starting out. My only complaint is the ONE unisex bathroom stall that was disgusting and smelled absolutely awful, but they did seem pretty understaffed, so maybe it’s not always that way. 🤷🏽‍♀️

It’s an okay spot. It’s good if you are underage because they don’t card

Bartender was awesome! It's a cute little hole in the wall. They do trivia, karaoke, and have live music every week.

A hipster music/arts dive with serious ambiance and no-nonsense nuevo-grunge attitude. "Yeah, it's been done, but we dig it, so let's do it again with better booze." There's not a more intimate space to see a band; the stage side is microscopic. But it's well equipped and really fun, even if the room is REALLY live and loud. Bring earplugs. On the bar side, expect great grunge-era and alternative music, pretty people serving solid booze and a fun crowd-friendly atmosphere. Very cool lighting and decor. There's a pool table in back, where you'll find one - count them, ONE - unisex bathroom...also with funky lighting, for your peeing pleasure! No food here, but pizza and taco options on either side, and more options throughout the neighborhood. Good joint. They need another restroom and a solution for band equipment in the performance hall, but I love the feel and concept. Recommended!

I don't quite understand the 1 star reviews. This is exactly the bar I thought it was. No frills and attentive bartenders that are patient with the masses. Diverse crowd. Love it here!

I am looking for a place to eat and KARAOKE. It is business hours now but they don't answer the phone... No way of knowing if there is karaoke there tonight. Or if they serve a decent meal for dinner.

Fun spot with live music! The one dude that bar tends here clearly hates his job tho. He's so damn rude to everyone. Hipster ass dude with glasses. Hates everyone and everything. The rest of the bartenders are awesome. Just the one guy that is clearly just a miserable human. We just hope he's not working when we pop in.

Looks like a cool place but service is non existent, literally lives up to its name. Pity as it's my closest local

Despite its name this bar is not bad. Semi dive semi trendy bar vibes with some good punky music. We came here for the novelty of being a bad bar but had a good time. Not bad at all!

The service is awful, I have never been in a bar and felt more uncomfortable than the day I visited bad bar. The bar girl was the rudest person that had ever served me. Nice place, bad staff.

"Cannot take a damaged ID" a little sand on the ID is damaged? The new bearded bartender is the worst... we had drinks for hours before getting kicked out by the next bartender. Fun times... bad bar is a "bad bar"
