best bar in town. the people who work here are the most friendly people I have ever met. the food is top notch. I recommend it to anyone who wants to get out and play darts, shoot pool or just socialize.

I don’t understand the hate for this place. Sure it’s a little divey. but that’s what gives it character. Cheap food and stiff drinks. Kind of a biker bar feel. The only place I know of that serves a full English fry breakfast.

Definably is a dive bar. Smokers greet you as you try to walk in and it is a nasty entrance. They have changed and updated the interior somewhat since the first time I went to this place. But they don’t seem to be consistent on the food one time it is good the next it isn’t. Disappointed when I travel to the place for entertainment and then it is not there. So I won’t be returning.

This place is a great local joint to grab a beer or cocktail! Clean establishment. Staff is awesome and super friendly! Bingo night on Thursdays — fun times! Free and if you win Bingo you win scratch tickets! darts, pool tables and daily specials for food. Prices are great and drinks are always delicious! Lots of parking nearby.

This was the first bar I went to when I turned 21. I loved it immediately mostly because of the staff. The bartenders are great, always remember you, and know drinks well. The bar has the usual pool, darts, jukebox, etc. My only wish is that they served food later. They shut the kitchen down pretty early.

This place gave me and my husband food poisoning last night. Save yourself a day of pain — don’t eat in this dump!

My buddy Rick’s favorite bar of all time. It’s a good place for darts and they have it all really. It’s a neighborhood British style pub.

I honestly hate to write this review because all the other times I’ve come to get drinks and eat at this place, service has been phenomenal. Even the seasoned bartenders knew who my friends and I were when we come in. However, this one time has by far stood out amongst the rest. Server was fast to get our orders for beer and food however the food was pretty disappointing compared to many other visits previous to this particular one. The bread on my rueben sandwich was burnt and hard as a rock(not to mention it came out far longer than it normally would’ve taken). On top of that, the server had passed by our table as well as another and did not stop to ask our party for more drinks, even though we had empty cups at the end of our table(sign to see if more drinks or whatever else is needed). The other table had even asked the server by name when they passed by but the server paid no attention. I will say that the Onion had a couple new bartenders and staff(more than likely a new cook too) but god damn people! Update: It looks like the staff has changed a little bit and things have gotten exponentially better. They serve by far the best and least expensive pub food. Staff and patrons are very friendly and easy to get along with.

Every time we come here we have a great time. When we were new to the neighborhood everyone from Mark(bartender), to Sean(the owner) were very friendly with us. Tyler is awesome in the kitchen as well! They’ve our orders memorized. I’ve seen Sean specifically go above and beyond not only for his regulars, which are more like family; but new guests to hos establishment. The steak strips and nachos are fantastic! If someone was negative, they obviously have a personal grudge most likely relative to erratic behavior. Rock on guys!

I came here to write a review and I see the owner of Pickled Onion takes the time to respond to reviewer’s he doesn’t agree with — he does so in an offensive and berating manner. This is not only disturbing but also very telling about his establishment. I was not going to give a glowing review to begin with for reasons I will state below but now I’m even a little trepidatious due to the clearly vicious reaction(s). The fact is, the behavior the owner displays here on Unilocal is but a small insight as to how he and his employees behave in person — how people are treated in Pickled Onion, etc; — this rude, harsh, uncompromising behavior is acceptable to this business and that is just not how a successful business runs, it is downright despicable. I enjoy dive bars, really I do, but this one is far below a ‘dive’, Pickled Onion is a dump. Pickled Onion is very dirty and I too have seen the flea ridden dog on the floor. Please let me note that I am a dog lover and the dog I saw in Pickled Onion was a very nice dog though certainly not a service dog and quite frankly he actually fit in well with the bugs, stench and overall filth of this place. The bathrooms are gross — the floors seriously need a washing — in fact, the whole place could use a serious attitude adjustment. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

A friend and I decided to go play some pool the other day while at the D.O.L. Big mistake, I immediately notice a big dog on the floor which was not a service animal, it was munching on its fleas you know with that fast munching look they only do when they have fleas, there was a huge mess of hair on the floor next to the dog, I went to get a drink and the bartender looked bewildered when I asked for a virgin margarita like he’s never heard of it or something. It was just disgusting with the hair the dog smell etc. If you like those hillbilly regulars and dirty dogs and hair it’s a great place for you if not go someplace else, trust me.

Nice bar. Glad I stopped by. Friendly staff and it does remind me of England. Awesome name for a bar as well. Too bad I couldn’t hang out. Had dinner over at the Vietnamese place. Next time for sure!(Beers poured nice and cold)

This was our first time here, and we liked it a lot. Great service, friendly atmosphere, and our drinks were perfect. We had nachos, which were yummy. Looking forward to coming back for quiz night!

Now this place is a total dump. Two steps in and its easy to see that all the low class drunks in Renton Highlands congregate to this place. I went in for a burger because I had a coupon. As soon as the waitress caught wind that I wasn’t there to drop my Labor Ready daily pay check on cheap beer, she forgot I existed. I get coupons now, but just toss them in the trash. Stay away from the sh*t hole!

Great place to watch a game and enjoy a nice drink. Bartenders are like family and has a cheers like atmosphere. They’ve had some great bands preform here as well. They have dart tournaments and free pool on Sundays. :) if you haven’t already, check it out!

There are dive bars with character and those without character. This is the kind without character. I also had the worst margarita I’ve ever had. But good beer selection on tap and the band that played(Gear Driver) was good and tons of fun.

The whole point in going to a dive bar is for the cheap beer. At $ 5.25 for a 10 oz glass of Newcastle, why don’t I just go to Bellevue? And since it’s a dive bar, expect the clientele to be blue collar. I won’t be drinking here again.

I came, I saw, I left. Yes, this is a review on my decision not to waste any time or money here. My man friend(?) wanted to check out this joint, maybe grab a snack and a brew– it was bingo night. The speaker was terrible, the general atmosphere and mood was dank and dirrty and grumpy. I know it was Bingo night but some music might have helped. I am sure they have some regulars who stumble home and really keep them in business– and enjoy bingo night. We won’t be back, it was much more like a game-hall then a british pub, although I’m no British pub expert, but I had a vision. C’est la vie!
