Quarter Lounge

Great place right next to my new apartment. Convenient, cheap and cool bartenders. Will definitely make this a regular stop!

On the East Coast the words dive bar don’t really exist. It’s just bar. In Seattle you have to hunt down anon trendy hipster or rather non-​hipster Blue Collar fun place that’s affordable and where you can play pool. Who gives a damn if you can’t order food. You can bring your own. Seriously. And they have TVs in the best damn jukebox in town

This is a good example of a classic bar. The bar is clean, place smells good, not like old beer. The staff is friendly. There is a jukebox and pool. There is cheap bar food. The prices are very reasonable. There are currently four more women than men and everyone seems to be friendly. Most of the other patrons are well dressed and no one smells that I can tell. I give it four stars because the food is good but not great and they only have three food options. Cone thirsty, get drunk, order a pizza, it’s a good spot.

The best dive bar in Seattle in my opinion. Low key atmosphere, diverse crowd, and excellent bloody marys if you get the right bartender. Pool tables inside and a hidden little back porch area that’s really only practical in the summer. You can get microwave popcorn, corn dogs, and pizza but just grab something on the way. The weeknight 11-​close happy hour is a fun little perk and how I was introduced to the place. I was working at a nearby hospital and wrapped up around 1am then walked over with a coworker. The rest is history, and it’s now a fixture among a lot of the folks in my company. Great place if you like dives.

If you want cheap drinks with sleazy ambiance then this is your place. And I’m not even degrading this bar because of its appearance, it is more of the service I received when my girlfriends and I were here a week ago. I love a good dive bar because it’s relaxing and you go there for a good time! However, this wasn’t the case for us (see review by Melody below). We were visiting from Cali and Nevada and this was the nearest bar from our hotel and never did we (I) experience such a discriminating service as mentioned. And after we made a review about that incident, the owner made it seem like we were irresponsible drunks which is not the case at all. No one wants to be righteous but if you ask anyone else in that bar, we were a group of decent looking girls. Anyway after that review, the owner replied (although, still biased) and we responded explaining the incident at length in a private message since it cannot be made publicly. The owner did not consider the explanation at all and just shut it down. Instead, she insisted that we take down the review since we accused her bartender of being racist which is how we exactly felt! We appreciate the fact that she looked into the situation but making us take down a review of the experience we received from this establishment seems unjust and pretentious. I hope this does not happen again for anyone else that goes there, wishing you good luck!

DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU’RE NOT WHITE OR A DUDE. We came here (5 girls) and ordered 3 jäger bombs, an adiós motherfucker, and a Moscow mule. The bartender seemed to be nice at first so we left our tabs open. I got a Bloody Mary shortly after and it wasn’t bad. I came back with my girlfriend to get more jäger bombs and suddenly the bartender said that he couldn’t make anymore after that. We had asked why that was the case and he said, «I’m here making jäger bombs and adiós motherfuckers and I can only make so much.» My soul left my freaking body after that. Never have I been treated like that. I didn’t understand what he was saying to us. We were paying whatever he wanted to charge us and he made literally one drink. Jäger bombs were just rock star on a glass and jäger on a shot glass. The way he had said it was quite demeaning and it was apparent that he just didn’t wanna serve us anymore. This bar is not welcoming. I’ve never felt such discrimination. It was just a horrible feeling basically being told that they don’t want to serve you anymore because he can only make so many of those drinks despite being a bar tender? That’s your job? He had everything he needed to make our drinks because he had done it for the first round? He turned us away because he didn’t want our kind hanging out at their bar. What a horrible experience.

Dive bar for sure. Very loud music, which you can change from the Jukebox.
There’s pool and darts and ample TVs to watch sports. The outdoor patio is pretty money, but nobody was using it. The drinks weren’t that cheap, but probably cheap for Seattle standards.
This would be perhaps a fun place to watch a game, or have a few drinks after work, but I wouldn’t go there on a Friday or Saturday night.

I met the owner last night. He’s from Chicago. He was going on about how Russell Wilson isn’t a real quarterback and Seahawks chocked, saying the fans are bandwagon and the city didn’t deserve another Super Bowl victory. He said the city is a loser, last year was unique and we should cherish it because it is the only championship we will experience.
Obviously he hates Seattle. Therefore, we should hate his bar! Plenty of other places to drink that are owned by people that love my city.

No doubt terrible service the Asian bartender served other customers before me while I arrived first, she was very rude and I felt like I was being secluded even though I didn’t do anything to offend her. I asked another bartender about a drink they were advertising and she didn’t know about it nor what was in it.

This bar is a couple of blocks from my apartment so on Sunday nights, I keep finding myself coming back… The pool tables are a dollar a game (make sure to bring quarters) the drinks are good and decently priced. The best bartender there is Justin. He’s amazing. So attentive, my drinks are always promptly refilled. This is a great locals bar. Would definitely recommend as a chill spot for a couple of drinks.

Quarter Lounge is hands down my favorite neighborhood bar. It has your typical Seattle dive feel, great beer selection, and friendly bartenders. They have a small food selection, but welcome you to bring in your own food. They also have pool tables, dart boards, & tv. Even though this place is small and appears to have limited seating, they have secret chairs under the pool tables they are happy to pull out for big groups!
One thing that surprises me about this place (in a very good way) is that you can open a tab without leaving your card at the bar. As simple as this is, I am surprised more places don’t do it! So if you are looking for a typical Seattle dive or just want a good drink while you are in First Hill, this is the place to go!
They also have a great happy hour that goes until 7pm!

Mixed drinks are strong but not necessarily good. Also made incorrectly. They have no food so don’t go hungry. Weird crowd. Too many types of different people. Fucked up the music.

Quality divey sports bar. Strong pours, pool tables and darts, and there is always sports on, which isn’t my thing but it’s not to the point where it’s not ignorable.
Upon reading reviews I found out that you can order delivery food to the bar and that’s totally fine with them?! Rad!

i like this place!
it is unpretentious, crowd friendly as are the bartenders, and beer on draft or a delicious cocktail well-​made. Prices are reasonable. No food. But good popcorn.

We showed up here to play trivia, but apparently they weren’t having it that night (or ever?) Be forewarned and call ahead.
A very divey nothing special place. They do not serve any food except for frozen pizza and microwave popcorn… they allow you to bring stuff in though. It all is kinda a hassle though, so if you think you’ll be hungry and don’t want to pay a ridiculous amt for frozen pizza, go somewhere else.
Seriously, nothing stands out about our time here, totally medicore and adequate… won’t be back. Maybe if you live next door, this could be an ok choice for wetting your whistle.

If you just want a drink prior to catching the bus home or to meet up with some co-​workers without spending too much dough than I would suggest hanging out here.
They have both tables and booth seating. The bartenders are alright for seattle bartenders, and the servers are nice and check on you to see if you need more booze.
I love to people watch and I get views from outside and inside of the bar. They have pool tables, about two or three of them. I have yet to order food here, and I probably won’t considering my other options. However, If i want a fun bus ride or to meet up with a co-​worker to chitchat about our day, this is where i’d go. I’m sure I will land back here at some point. See you in a booth!

I love this place; and I’m not just saying this because I host Pub Quiz here. The staff and the regulars are like family. You know they love you but they’ll give you shit when you fuck up. Cheap drinks and always sports on TV. Remember you can have food delivered to the bar or even bring your own! Warning cheesy alert but if you want to go to a bar where everybody knows your name and they’re always glad you came then the Quarter Lounge is for you.
*cough cough* Shameless Plug, come play Geeks Who Drink Pub Quiz Sundays at 8 *cough cough*

Not a place you want to come if you want artisan food with your cheap beer (the pizza we ordered was clearly DiGiorno or comparable) but the operative phrase here is cheap beer. Just a little far south and west from most of the action of capitol & first hill, the Quarter Lounge offers amazing specials and prices with a divey albeit cozy atmosphere.
We come here for trivia so the crowd might be a little different on trivia night than the rest of the week but so far everyone seems really laid-​back and friendly — a lot like the bar itself.
So what if the pizza is DiGiorno and the only other options are popcorn or corndogs? for $ 10, $ 1 and $ 2, respectively — you can’t go wrong. There’s plenty to keep you entertained if you’re not there on a trivia night. Two pool tables, a jukebox, and a TV to catch up on your sports.
I approve!

I went here a couple months ago after purchasing a groupon for them.
I met a friend for drinks, but ended up spending about 30 minutes alone at the bar waiting for my friend since she was running late. I got a drink easily and quickly, but I wanted to have a chat with someone since I was alone sitting at the bar. Problem was that it appeared everyone there was a regular and didn’t really have any interest in chatting.
There was also this really drunk girl (keep in mind it was like 4:30 in the afternoon) who was clearly a friend of the bartender that kept complaining about how badly she is going to do at acting class since she is soo drunk and why did they let her keep drinking (she is begging for more shots this whole time btw). I know every bar has crazy patrons, but it seems like this type of person is the «regular» since they were the bartender’s friends.
Awesome point: someone brought their dog in! So this place seems like they’re pretty dog friendly even if they can’t advertise it.
The drinks were great, and once my friend got there the experience was pretty good. It’s just a dive bar! Wasn’t anything too exciting or boring. Seemed like your fairly average bar.

The Quarter Lounge is definitely a great neighborhood hangout spot featuring a large room with booths and pool tables and a great bar space with TV’s and a high tech juke box. The drink specials were great with several cocktails at great prices including flavored vodka drinks and there was cheap food too like pizzas and corn dogs.
I wouldn’t quite call this a sports bar, but it comes pretty close and the group I was with had a great time here. The bartender did a great job taking care of the regular patrons as well as providing cool, refreshing beverages to our very thirsty group of bar crawlers. If you are looking for a good hangout spot to shoot some pool, watch a game, or just hang out and get drunk off of strong drinks then this is the place for you!
