“ The food here is really quite good and also good value, consistently so. The onion rings are especially great. Vibes and atmosphere are like a neighborhood bar, not all that divey to be honest. Everyone's chill, and there are darts and a pool table along with a jukebox. ”
“ I love this bar. Great prices - you can get lots of beer and tasty food for cheap. The fish is good, love the fries, and the field roast burger is delicious. I don't eat meat, but my husband loves the cheeseburgers. Fun place to watch football, hang out with friends, etc. ”
“ A classic old school pub. Cold micro brews on tap plus good fish and chips and burgers all at reasonable prices. I stop in whenever I'm in the neighborhood. ”
“ Great dive bar with great service! Food is average and cheap! Oh yeah and a great price on beer! I’ve been going to The Sloop for years and years. One of my favorite spots in Ballard to grab a quick beer and eats. Dog friendly and they have a small area for outside seating when the sun is out. Darts and pool too! ”
“ Love this place and the staff! Cyndee is the best. The burgers are the delicious and very affordable especially compared to rising prices in Ballard restaurants! Definitely try the Hawaiian or the mushroom bacon swiss burger! ”
“ What a great dive bar! They have two pool tables, some arcade games, the Mandalorian Pinball machine, good food and great prices! You have to go up to the bar to order food and drinks but they'll bring the food to your table. Great place to unwind and let loose. ”
“ This is just the best spot in Seattle, bar none. The staff, Carl, Cindy and Patrick are all so kind, the burgers are great and the prices are beyond fair. If you haven't been to The Sloop yet, I cannot recommend this place enough! ”
“ It’s an original in Ballard. Nearly every single other building and business exists via gentrification. Not this place. Go here and enjoy it before some large corporation buys it and builds a new chain restaurant. ”
