"Some claim this is the oldest bar in Seattle (join the club)—and we’re pretty sure it has an inebriated Victorian ghost or two haunting its halls. The place can get lively during Georgetown events like Honk! Fest. But it’s a chill place otherwise, if a tad bright for a dive. They serve food like absurdly large mozzarella sticks (logs?), but you’re best off just sipping something sudsy and admiring the decor that would fetch a pretty penny on American Pickers. Promotion for Tots And Tallboy Tuesdays" - kayla sager riley, aimee rizzo, gabe guarente

"Going strong since 1888, Jules Maes has been an essential venue for punky up-and-coming bands in more recent years, and new owner Rache’ Purcell has expanded the scope since bringing back live events. Now Jules Maes also books Latin psychedelia, synth-wave, blues, metal, and Americana bands, and hosts trans social nights, brass and percussion jams, theatrical variety shows, standup comedy, and more. And while at first glance the menu looks like standard bar food, the dynamite braised-then-fried pork shank and knockout beef stroganoff emphatically separate Jules Maes from the burgers-and-tots pack. Doesn’t have to be haute to be good." - Mark DeJoy
"After closing in the summer of 2020, the divey Seattle icon recently made a triumphant return under new ownership. The menu’s pub fare now includes a tater tot poutine, flatbreads, fried chicken waffle sandwiches, and some breakfast item, along with cocktails and beer. Open for takeout preorders through Chownow and limited dine-in." - Gabe Guarente
"Jules Maes Saloon, a historic bar in Georgetown, Seattle, has been revived by new owner Rache’ Purcell, who has a personal connection to the venue. The bar, which dates back to 1888, has reopened for takeout and delivery after being closed for six months. The menu features standard pub fare, decadent dishes, and classic cocktails. Plans include hosting live music and entertainment in the future. The venue maintains much of its vintage charm with some updates, like a new movie screen and artwork." - Gabe Guarente
