Top 5 Dive Bars in Washington

606 Broadway E, Seattle, WA 98102, United States

“2 minute Christmas light show every hour on the hour until December 24th, 2023 is a fun experience. Love the holiday themed decorations. My fav is the big mouth bass wall plaque with a santa hat. Happy hour French fries are thick cut, crispy, warm and creamy on the inside. My lemondade cocktail was just so-so. It tasted like canned lemon juice and little else. I would not recommend that. The waitress is very friendly and helpful. I noticed she greeted everyone with a smile and the a "Hi friend..."”

“The birthplace of grunge. The young lady behind the bar was quite knowledgeable and extremely willing to share some of the stories of the bands and people who have played there. Going through the photos and posters on the wall is an amazing journey. An easy walk from the Pike Place Market.”

5501 Airport Way S B, Seattle, WA 98108, United States

“Omg. A vegan bar with delicious food. Everything tastes so fresh and homemade. I had the nachos and the pulled pork sandwich with a side of potato salad. The nachos were divine and definitely enough to share between 2. The pulled pork was amazing; Sweet bbq, fresh slaw, absolutely delicious. The potato salad was melt in your mouth. I’m newly vegan and am so happy there is something like this nearby. I’ll definitely be coming back to try everything on the menu.”

2830 NW Market St, Seattle, WA 98107, United States

“Great dive bar with great service! Food is average and cheap! Oh yeah and a great price on beer! I’ve been going to The Sloop for years and years. One of my favorite spots in Ballard to grab a quick beer and eats. Dog friendly and they have a small area for outside seating when the sun is out. Darts and pool too!”

11105 E Sprague Ave, Spokane Valley, WA 99206, United States

“We used to love Iron Horse, but the place has gone downhill. I was mortified and embarrassed when I took family there for breakfast and got cracked and FILTHY dishes and cold and un-edible food. We should have driven a little further to Crimson Hearth and got some real food on clean platters from attentive and caring staff. Never again.”

17802 134th Ave NE Suite 6, Woodinville, WA 98072, United States

“Family business with nice atmosphere and great food!”

9211 Delridge Way SW, Seattle, WA 98106, United States

“This place is amazing. The cocktails are delicious, fresh, and strong. Met the owner, he was great. I couldn't recommend it more, especially if you're a sci-fi , horror, or old martial arts movie fan.”

500 S King St, Seattle, WA 98104, United States

“Great dive bar with friendly staff, billiards, pull tabs, and quick drinks. I haven't had a chance to try the food but will update when I do. If you are in the international district or a hotel near by and looking for that local dive this is the spot.”

3015 E Mission Ave, Spokane, WA 99202, United States

“Honestly has to be one of if not the best value in town for food. I don't usually review bars for food, but this blew me away. For 17.00 in 2023 you barely get a burger at Jack in the Box, here you get the fattest double burger you've ever seen, almost couldn't finish it. It's like 13.00 for a bacon cheeseburger with tator tots that is also huge. Bar tenders are excellent heather and kendra”

9041 Holman Rd NW, Seattle, WA 98117, United States

“Mike took great care of us. The burger was excellent! The “chicken” wings unfortunately were heavily battered with a great deal of salt with almost zero MEAT! We think pulling back on the salt, the batter and then purchasing a more meaty wing would do a world of difference! Other than the wing concern we loved the vibe and the outdoor space!”

14810 NE 24th St, Redmond, WA 98052, United States

“Very fun bar! Their food is phenomenal! I highly recommend the spicy cheesy Philly with onion rings and the jalapeño poppers. Service is great! Atmosphere is fun, they have pool tables and app selectable music!”

Parking lot, 2431 Maple Valley Hwy, Renton, WA 98057, United States

“Good neighborhood bar reasonable prices good crowd mix friendly staff. I’ve never eaten here but they seem to have a good variety on the menu.”

9608 16th Ave SW, Seattle, WA 98106, United States

“The truth is I don't like to speak badly about this place because it is one of my favorite places but today I had a very unpleasant experience with the person who served the drinks and treated me and my cousin like I resisted because of my Latin face and I didn't like that and I told him why he treated us like that and he got angry just because we have Mexican children. That's not right. I really didn't like that and he also took our drinks from us just because I told him not to treat us like that. I think we are in a country without racism he shouldn't have treated me like that I don't know but that's my opinion I didn't like that person always boy after my work”

8315 83rd Ave SW, Lakewood, WA 98498, United States

“Poor bartender. Cold Attitude and very unfriendly. Told her this bar was very nostalgic to us, as we had drank there often in our early 20’s (a decade prior) she didn’t care…. Gave us poor service and a last call of 1:10 am with a cold shoulder. Pretty bummed as you can tell the bartenders are running Their own agenda opposite of what a business owner would Hope from a hometown establishment.”

4247 University Way NE, Seattle, WA 98105, United States

“For the price you can’t beat it and even after so many years it hasn’t changed. The bartender is very nice and always made us fresh drinks. The only complaint is they don’t have AC and in the summer it is very hot - with this the drinks could use a bit more ice.”

1524 Minor Ave, Seattle, WA 98101, United States

“Saying I enjoyed myself at this establishment is an understatement. Definitely a 5 Star experience every time I’ve been there. I hosted a singles event along with SYNC Seattle this Friday night and the energy was magnetic. The staff were really kind, generous and helpful. The drinks were incredible and noteworthy. I will definitely be back. I really like the red lights they added to the space. They are a very nice touch to the atmosphere. The owner Breckeen was so kind and accommodating. You can tell he cares about others and want to make people feel comfortable in his establishment and he did just that! The bartenders J.P. and Dillan were my favorite part of this lovely bar. If you have the chance to get a drink made by either of them- just know you’ll be in REALLY good hands. TRUST! I’ve been to many bars in the area and nothing compares to the experience and energy of this place. Tip them and tip them well! Thank you Still!!”
