As a 33-year-old, I found it to be the perfect setting for my age and level of relaxation. I would highly recommend this place for a laid-back Friday night if you're looking to steer clear of large crowds. The bartender was exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable. I didn’t try the food, so I can't comment on that.

I stopped in while bar hopping with some friends and we ordered drinks and hungout for a while. There was already a crowd of friendly regulars in there with plenty of available seating. The bartender serving us was awesome and the drinks were very affordable compared to other bars in the area. I should mention the vagina wall right in the middle of the bar, fully colored and decorated, which is hilarious and interesting. If you're looking for a low key dive bar with inexpensive drinks in Ballard, this place is it!
