Pretty chill place. The bartender was welcoming and fun when our wild birthday party came in on a quiet Sunday afternoon Lol. Even gave me a lil sober shot so I felt included.

A little hidden behind Neumos and above Barbossa is The Runway. Dive bar with cheap well drinks. Food is also offered from the next door restaurant pok pok. Lots of different DJs are playing on the weekends and it gets packed.

It’s 12pm and they’re playing Curb your enthusiasm on one TV and attack on titan on another. It is simply the best. Music with Tim is exceptional. Vibe is great ...

Cool bar next to Neumos and Barbosa with great booze, music and a very friendly staff. Happy hour is great and I love how you can order BokaBok from the bar.

When you're drinking on a budget, Monday night 1 drinks are the way to go. They make the drinks strong and you can get them however you want, and if there's no line it's pretty quick. I've been to the Gin night and the Vodka night so far, and have enjoyed myself each time. Make sure to show up earlier in the night, because it's a small bar and by 9 or 10 it's packed! If the bartender's seem rude, I'm pretty sure it's because they're serving like a bazillion drinks at once. When they have time, they've always been nice to me. It's in Capitol Hill, so if you need a break you can wander outside and check out other stuff nearby, like Seattle Hotdogs or people playing music on the streets. It's a cool and hip place to chill, both inside and out. Bouncer is great. One time I forgot my ID and had to wait for a friend to bring it. It was cold outside and he let me chill indoors by the door so I didn't freeze. Thanks Mr. Bouncer!
