I confess its one of my favorite bars in Seattle. This is an actual dive, compared to say, the incorrect title given to places like Teddy's Tavern, which is just a sports bar. The bar tenders are friendly, the folks dancing are friendly, it's just a great spot. I like when they play country music, especially when there's a live band, which is every week. The music, the dancing, this is a great spot-visit while you can, places like this are being destroyed by real estate tycoons. read more

Best dive bar in the city! Love the atmosphere and karaoke. Always a good vibe and the bartenders do not skimp on the pours.

Love The little Red Hen! Great people, staff & guests. Awesome music!! A great time. Even with a full house, great service!

cheap drinks great music fun vibe nice staff!! what more would you want????? 10/10 recommend

It's alright but definitely ' Seattle' friendly barely. You definitely have to figure out the clique here coming from the south it is very different vibe and most songs are not country played here, wish it was the 90s and bluegrass selection only. read more

So my review heavily depends on why you are here, if it's for the dancing/dance lessons then absolutely this is the place to be especially Thursdays and the weekend. They had live loud music and people were loving it and wow it got packed quick The staff here is super friendly and although I didn't get a chance to try the food, the drinks were strong read more

Lovely place, people are nice , I was seated next to the band performing and we talked and they found out I'm a performer, they called me on stage to sing and the bartender (she's always hated me) super racist lady comes and tries to pull me off the stage, when I was singing the whole stage got full of people just dancing and having a good time, even the band were shocked. We finished the song and she starts yelling at me , I just slowly walked out. Super racist bartender read more

great little country bar !! live music, healthy drinks, good dance floor. There is something going on 7 days a week. This place is a gem....kinda divey, but a real gem nonetheless. read more

If you're here for the food you're doing something wrong. The dancing is a blast and the live music is fun. Lots of strangers and partner swapping on the dance floor. Busy on the weekends. The fries are tasty and they'll even make you a White Russian. read more

As an Appalachian native living in Seattle, this place is a slice of the best parts of home. People are friendly and welcoming if you treat them the same way. Drinks are affordable and good bang for your buck, don't expect a craft cocktail, get your vodka redbull or your modelo and take it easy. Line dancing on Mondays is so fun and very busy from what I've seen. Karaoke on Wednesdays is always a blast. Took all my coworkers of many different ages and backgrounds and everyone had a blast. These are good people and this is a fun place! read more

This establishment has been around for many years. It's a country western bar, that has live music. They also give country music dance lessons, once a week, I believe. It's a bit old, but it's clean, and definitely a fun place to go!! read more

I like the ambience there. if you ever want the BEST cheesesticks, they are SO good. might also reccomend the chicken teryaki. So yummy. fun place. highly reccomend you check it out. Drinks are strong and people are very kind! read more

Love this bar in Greenlake, and I go every Thursday night (that I can) to two-step night. Really fun, vibrant dive bar with some very kind bartenders and staff. French fries are great, and they have a nice drink selection. read more

I went for Sunday Open Mic night hosted by Billy Bodacious. I don't frequently listen to country, but was refreshing to hear the local Seattle musicians play a mix of country classics and original songs. Everyone was super friendly and welcoming for me jumping on stage and playing some original songs. I stuck around for the evening and got to play a second set of songs, backed by a bunch of great musicians who more than did a solid job keeping up with my songs and making them pop. read more

I came on a Saturday night for some live music where cover was $10/person. They were accepting cash or card for the cover. Drinks were crazy inexpensive for Seattle - 2 beers, a whiskey ginger, and a cider were only $24. Cover was definitely cheap to factor in the live music and the cheap drinks. As a lady, it would definitely be easy to come without a partner as there are many regulars that are really great at dancing and can swing you around. I'd definitely come back for some line dancing on other evenings! read more

Staff and patrons are all Democrats pretending to be country. Not a real country bar. But it is Seattle after all, so I don't know what I was expecting. Ice tasted like mold too, so order your drink without it if you go. And don't bring up politics in conversation, especially your second amendment right to defend yourself. read more

While the free line dance lesson was okay, it was very fast and only catered to the regular dancers returning week after week. This is NOT a place for beginners and doscourages you from simply dropping in to try it. The regular dancers here are very territorial and highly rude to newcomers (they even ask you to move!). As a seattleite I felt super uncomfortable and not welcome here. Subpar drinks. Very disappointed! read more

My boyfriend hates country but I love it. A good friend of mine lives nearby and we were here on Sunday open mike which had some local musicians playing, all seemed pretty good. Kind of your standard dive bar. They have dance lessons which I'm dying to get boyfriend to do with me but so far no luck, lol. I think the crowd here is nice usually but you get some pompous folks (as you can tell by some of the yelp reviews here, geesh, get a life) I can get the boyfriend to come back because the beers are cheap here. Hopefully we'll get to those dance lessons. read more

I love love love the little red hen. I highly suggest taking beginner two step lessons on Thursday nights to start. You may just fall in love with the atmosphere and the dancing. I pretty much always go to lessons alone, and because you dance with everyone during lessons, staying is a blast and you can dance with your new friends. The staff is always very kind and the service is great. Your drinks will be strong, you will hear great music, and have a blast dancing. read more

Zero stars. Rudest staff I've ever encountered. Refused to take an order and female bartender was openly talking shit about customers. Wouldn't recommend. read more

Always love visiting Little Red Hen, I have so many memories from going here in college and my early 20s. Lots of great music and dancing. I wish they cleaned up the seating areas a bit though - the front was pretty full so we sat in the back section away from the bar. There were chairs stacked in the corner, a little messy all around. This place is a lot of fun but would be even better with some simple upgrades to the atmosphere. Will definitely be back on another night with live music though!! read more

Great food and service. Only downside is it's small and you'll almost never get a walk-in table. Mimosas are great read more

Fun place if you enjoy country music. Have come a couple of times for line dancing Monday. Place is a tad too small for the amount of people that come out for line dancing. Place has great and nice bartenders! Good looking people come out as well, don't have to be worried about the wrong crowd being here. Highly recommend. read more

This place is disgusting. The picture I attached is from a wet paper towel I wiped the table with. There were rings of dirt around our beer glasses. I get that this is a dive bar but this is just disgusting. Beers are cheap and the music is fun though. read more

I stopped in on a Monday night to check out the free line dancing lessons and escape the heat ... First of all it was so cold it felt so good compared to outside.. It was happy hour and I ordered some hot wings and a draft IPA.. The wings were delicious perfectly sauced and only $5 for I believe 8 with some ranch and celery and carrots... Line dancing was fun I stayed after and even sang a song for Monday night karaoke.. Totally friendly crowd a mixture of all ages .. Both bartenders were dolls especially Mimi... I can't wait to go back I love this place ! read more

Loved this place... it's a dive bar, country for that matter. Service was good overall, but don't expect to find your favorite beverage. It's pretty basic, but I guess to be expected. It's got a cool vibe and the karaoke is bumping till Tuesday, then live country. It's a fun spot, I'll come back! read more

Really good wings!! We loved the buffalo and garlic flavors (bbq is OK, did not try sweet chili). This was the perfect snack for watching Seahawks Sunday night football at home. Ordered via Grubhub for delivery, which showed up 30 minutes late and the food was cold. Luckily wings reheat really well! Would not blame the Little Red Hen for this- it looked like the order was ready on time, but got picked up late. Will definitely order again- could be our new gameday go-to! read more

Dropped in here on a Saturday around 6pm, long before the crowds arrived (I presume?). Some regulars at the bar, and eventually the band loaded in & set up. Bartender was friendly and efficient; someone recently off-shift who was hanging out pitched in & brought us a to-go box for the fries we couldn't finish. Standard fare. Overall B plus? read more

Friendly service, unfriendly crowd. Beer on draft is cheap and honky-tonk tunes sorta remind me of good times back in Austin. HOWEVER, The Red Hen has only the gildings of a honky-tonk good time because the typical SEATTLE FREEZE and SNOBBY cliquishness consistently kills the vibe. I gave a 4 star review before, but I realized now I gave this place WAY TOO MUCH benefit of the doubt. LOCAL and REGULAR are preconditions to dance here. Everyone else need not apply. Seattle newcomers and Texas expats GTFO!!!!! If you come for the lessons, don't bother staying when they open the floor. You'll just want to leave after and hone your skills elsewhere (God knows where in this town...lol) because if you come alone and want to lead, you will most likely be turned down--Guaranteed honky-tonk DISAPPOINTMENT. TL; DR -- good music and cheap beer but HORRIBLE crowd. Bring your own partner bar (for those who want to lead). Another observation: a lot of people like to come here, especially on weekends, and gawk at other people dancing while whispering about them and not dancing themselves. I would say the gawkers outnumber the dancers. Maybe because a country bar is such an oddity here (I did not see much of this behavior in Texas). Lol The only utility you could get from here is if you wish to punctuate your boredom from going to too many coffee shops and listening to too many mediocre underground bands...maybe with something unusual like country music played by a mix of half real country bands...and the other half by pseudo hipsters yearning for some roots authenticity in a rootless town where everyone seems to speak in newscaster's English. read more

A very fun little country bar outside of Seattle. The drinks are well made and reasonably priced; they have live music and a tiny dance floor to get your two step on! The band that we saw was great and they did a nice mix of covers and original songs. There's more seating than there is room to dance but was a great time! Just a heads up there is t a lot of parking and we paid a $5 cover. read more

Disappointed in the lack of country music at the country bar on line dancing night. That's all

I personally love this little bar. They have live music most nights, dance lessons on Thursday's, and affordable drinks.

Gone n' dunnit! I found Mecca. I'm really not sure how I managed to live in Seattle my entire life and never go to The Little Red Hen until last night. I am forever changed. First of all - it turns out line dancing is my calling. It's what's been missing in my life. Second of all, the nicest bartender ladies in the world. Third of all, friendliest wackadoo bar crowd in Seattle. And finally, an entire night of drinkin' and dancin' and I only spent $20. Now, if that ain't somethin', I don't know what. read more

This is no fancy pants gourmet spot, but it's not trying to be... and it's a good place to chill out with a beer and some standard bar eats near Green Lake. I hear it can get much louder and crazier when there's a live show going on, but I've (thankfully- because it's not my kind of thing) never been there at such a time. The first time I came here, I was craving a burger. Sadly I was craving a veggie burger, and they don't have those. I was craving a burger badly enough, however, that I decided to have the beef one. It wasn't fabulous or bad. It was good enough, and pretty much what I expected to find at a neighborhood cowboy-ish bar. The second time I came here was for a beer with a friend after finding a happy hour meal elsewhere. Most of the other customers were much older than me, but they were all having a good time and plenty of them seem very chatty and up for an amusing conversation. Good times! read more

Country dancing! Live music six nights per week! Large screen TVs What more could anyone want? Affordable drinks in Seattle! Typical bar food that is GREAT! Dance floor is small and full of excellent dancers! Atmosphere A+++ Bathrooms are old and a bit smelly but I don't care! I highly recommend the Little Red Hen! Come dance with me! LIVE MUSIC WITH GREAT BANDS! read more

This $#!&ing bar. Austin is absolutely the $hit. He defines service with a smile and is professional and knowledgeable. Aside from that staffing note, this bar has multiple personality disorder. Family friendly restaurant by day, divey little country bar by night, karaoke and college kids on Wed, live bands most of the weekend. Crowd varies widely, so plan ahead! read more

5 stars for staying in theme all the way through. This place is a relax and come as you are kind of place. No frills and no problems. (Leave them at the door) Always affordable if they have a cover charge and always fun and reliable for dancing/entertainment. The staff is always helpful and attentive with great drinks! I've frequented this establishment these past 7 years and it's always been a blast to come by for good times! Thank you! read more

The band was okay. The three stars are for the fact that there is something resembling twang in Seattle. I'm from Kentucky, I'll take what I can get. read more

Years ago this was a kitschy dive bar for old Green Lake locals. But now it's a little oasis for young hipsters and recently graduated frat dudes. (I have nothing against frat dudes, since I am a frat dude myself.) The place has a great energy to it. Relaxed. Nice customers. Responsive bartenders. Cheep prices -- relative to other Seattle venues. Awesome fun karaoke on Wednesday where people actually dance to the songs. The place is sorta dirty. The bathrooms are a little nasty. The drinks and beer come in plastic cups. But that just reminds me of the frat days. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? read more
