    The firecracker chicken sandwich is super good. Great draft beer list that changes frequently.

    The Juicy Lucy is by far one of the best burgers I've ever had in Ballard. Nice staff and the darts are only $.50 a game. I really enjoy this bar!

    The Olaf's burger might be the best one in the city; get it with bacon!

    Cool U-shaped bar. Cold beer. Check out the ceiling in the Men's room.

    Happy that this replaced the Copper Gate, even if it's slightly more generic.

    Basic dive bar with a vagina door. Bartenders are cool and chatty.

    Making some upgrades and is pulling itself away from being a dive bar. Good beer list, manager is great. Worth stopping in for a few beers.

    Good atmosphere, drinks are decent. Food is not great. Hotdog was inedible due to mandated torrent of mustard.
