My faves were the Addams family and Jaws pinball machines. I came here Wednesday night on a date and was surprised at how moderately busy the bar was. There were enough people to create a lively atmosphere, but not enough that we had to wait to play games. At the bar, I ordered a cosmopolitan, but the bartender offered me a vodka cranberry instead. The drink was refreshing, but the ice gave it that watered down taste. Halfway through the night I lost my phone and only realised when my date and I were in the car. When we returned to the bar the bartender had it with him. I love that I didn't have to go looking for it. My date and I had a great time at this bar and will definitely have to come back for some more pinball soon!!

We were nearby at another shop and stumbled upon the Pine Tavern. Apparently, it's been around for…read morea very long time, but has moved a few times (it's first location was earlier last century on Pine downtown). Often dive bars are dark and dingy, but this place was warm and cozy. Staff were pleasant and helpful and knew their line up of beverages well. There was ample seating inside and out. It advertised as having pinball, but there was really only one operational machine (the other was broken). So, yeah, they have pinball, but barely. There's also a nice shuffle puck table, which we used a lot. It was so much fun! Although we'd eaten elsewhere, I really wanted to try their Cheddar Jalapeño Cornbread Muffin. At $2 each a true bargain. It was accompanied by butter and honey, and was absolutely delish. The dry cider I was drinking complemented it well. Nice place to hang. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in the neighborhood.

I just moved to Seattle from Austin last Friday, and my first order of business was finding a great…read moreneighborhood bar like I had in Austin. The bar should have Norm Peterson-like regulars, cheap drinks and a good jukebox. And, well, Thunderbird fits the bill. I've been here every day this week so far, and have already made a lot of new friends who are starting to feel like family. My standard well vodka soda drink only costs $3.50, just like it does at Hideout Pub in Austin, and I can manipulate the jukebox to fit my tastes with the TouchTunes app. The only flaw here is the lack of parking (only a few spots on the side), but I can always park in the nearby neighborhood and walk it, or just take Lyft. This is because the snooty strip club next door isn't willing to share its spots but is more than willing to encourage their patrons to take Thunderbird's spots. I have yet to try the food, but I have no doubt it will surpass expectations, turning the trifecta from my first paragraph into a quadfecta. To note, Hideout Pub in Austin also has great food, so this newfound quadfecta is a natural progression. The night crowd is a little different than the happy hour crowd, but not in a bad way. What I mean is, I have yet to be approached by a creeper at Thunderbird, unlike at a select few other Ballard area bars who shall remain nameless. But, there's always tomorrow night.

The bartender was very kind, and we ordered at the bar before heading out to the patio. The outdoor seating was really nice and comfortable, especially with the heaters keeping everything warm. We ordered the fried shrimp, fried fish, tater tots, fries, and a salad. Overall, everything was delicious--the fried items were especially well done, crispy and full of flavor. The only thing we didn't really enjoy as much were the fries, but everything else made up for it. Overall, it was a really enjoyable meal in a great casual spot.

We ordered drinks from a blonde bartender who initially seemed upbeat and was clearly having a good time -- notably appearing to consume alcohol behind the bar while working. Our order was simple: two High Noons, an Amaretto Sour, and a whiskey ginger beer. Instead, she brought over three White Claws, apparently confusing our order with the group before us. My friend immediately and politely tried correcting the mistake before the cans were opened because we've both worked in the service industry and understand how frustrating wasted product can be. Instead of simply clarifying the order, the bartender's demeanor instantly changed. She rolled her eyes and aggressively snapped, "That's not what you f-ing said, what the f do you actually want?" My friend was completely blindsided. She calmly repeated the order while the bartender repeatedly diverted her attention to dancing, singing, and ignoring her. She interrupted again with more attitude and profanity, forcing my friend to repeat herself multiple times. When my friend got to the final drink order, the bartender looked at her boyfriend instead and asked him what he wanted, as if my friend wasn't even standing there. After my friend repeated the whiskey ginger beer yet again, the bartender yelled, "ARE YOU SURE?!" By that point, my friend was so embarrassed and upset that she began crying and ran out of the bar without even taking the drinks. I tried speaking to security to locate a manager and diffuse the situation, but the response I received made it sound like this behavior was routine and accepted. We were pointed toward a busser instead of anyone who could actually address the issue. Later, after a few words were exchanged during checkout, the bartender attempted to apologize and offered drinks on the house, but the damage had already been done. As someone who previously worked as a bartender, I understand stressful shifts, difficult customers, and chaotic environments. But there is absolutely no excuse for verbally attacking and humiliating a customer over a simple ordering mistake that wasn't even their fault. We left immediately and will not be returning. I'll also be sharing this experience with friends who regularly go here because people should know what kind of treatment appears to be tolerated at this establishment. The most disappointing part isn't just one bartender's behavior -- it's that the reaction from staff made it feel like this wasn't an isolated incident. Shame on LTD for allowing this to be considered acceptable customer service.

My go-to HH cocktail here is the Vieux Carré, but I like herbal sweet & bitter, so it's right up my alley. Currently there are five HH cocktail options and they are $7... hard to find in Seattle! I've also had the rainier & rye for $9- the rye is great, forgot to ask what kind it is. I've had a few other HH drinks, which were alright, but these stand out the most. As for food, I've only tried the spicy Seattle dog, and I would get it again. The hot dog is cut up & shaped weird (see photo), but it tastes wonderful. I heard the fried chicken is great so I'll try that next time. Also, I was excited to see that they had buckeyes on the menu, but they didn't have any when we visited. Inside is spacious and woodsy, & outside there is an enjoyable patio. Servers are nice and seem happy to be there, which always elevates my experience anywhere. I definitely recommend coming to Triangle Spirits for Happy Hour (available daily 3-5pm, dine-in only).

I cannot remember the last time i had elbow macaroni. Not bad, but a tad overcooked and the cheese sauce was average, with a neutral flavor. Not overly warm. Fries. Huge portion but sadly barely warm. A good variety of dipping sauces are available. Chicken sliders. This was where the disappointment really hit. We ordered 2 normal amd 2 spicy sandos. Chicken was crispy, but dry and lukewarm. A lone piece of iceberg lettuce was found under the chicken. The spicy version was not overly spicy but had a bit more flavor than the plain version. Buns were cold. Food is a 2, but the fun and engaging service brings rhe rating up to a 3.

Happy hour food menu is small, but that seems to be for a reason, because what they do they do well!
