    Epitome of a great neighborhood bar: friendly bartenders, stiff cocktails, and a good vibe.

    On Mondays, go for their .27 wings & stay for the movie out back in the patio. They're also one of the few bars that have Caldera on tap, an IPA atypical of its kind.

    Come here every Monday for .27 wings! So yummy. Classic and an extra special sauce wing. Today is Jalepeno BBQ Bacon and its amazing!

    Happy hour specials are great - especially for pitchers of craft beer. The burgers are great and so are the wings.

    Some joints stay new forever; some are old souls from the moment they blow the foam off the inaugural pint. That's King's Hardware. Credit Linda Derschang and partners for its blazing authenticity. Read more

    Their nachos come with a soft tortilla on the bottom so you can so up all the goodies in the bottom. Genius.

    This place feels like the old Seattle. Except on Friday and Saturday nights. Then it’s filled with new Seattle.

    Think of King's as the very best waiting room a kick ass barbershop has ever had. Add to that: fresh squeezed juices & locally sourced meats

    Awesome beer selection! Back patio is perfect during the summer. It also has heaters for those cooler nights. Also, who can resist a $.25 game of skee ball?

    It's cool every night but the weekend. It used to be our Ballard jam, until the visor wearing yuppies from Bellevue rolled in.

    Great happy hour on pitchers of micro. The skeeball and buck hunter make the place for me but it's gotten super trendy over the last year.

    Wings are buffalo sauce, and good. Tiny compared to others. Don't avoid, but be forewarned.

    Outdoor seating in the back, great happy hour 5-7, so much variety for just the burgers alone, and sweet potato fries (-:

    Watch the special of the day board above the kitchen - the jalapeno poppers are rare but so goddamn worth it if they're available!

    I honestly don't know why this place is so popular. Prices are average, beer is average, service is very sub par and slow, and the crowd I generally compose of cold bitches and douchey assholes.
