New location is pretty sweet, just off the ave so a bit away from that college chaos. Their fries basket is pretty good too, prices aren't crazy.

One of the great dive bars in Seattle. Tap microbrew pints are only $5. The food is fantastic, all the pork, beef and chicken is smoked in-house and basic sandwiches and burgers are tasty. Oh, and live punk music most weekends. LGBTQ friendly.

If you like punk music, dive bars, pinball, good ass food, a community that takes care of its' own, a safe environment, and a home away from home for those that don't necessarily like the bigger bar or tavern environments, this is the place for you. Kraken bar and lounge forever!!

Initial thoughts: Rad old school punk bar/dive bar that sells cheap drinks and plays old school movies on the TVs. Pros: Chill staff Arcade games Cheap drinks Has a food menu Clean restrooms Has live music some nights? Cons: If a dive bar isn't your thing perhaps this place isn't for you? Overall it's a chill neighborhood spot
