Bert's Tavern

Bartenders are super nice and quick when it comes to food and drinks. Everyone that goes into this bar most likely is a regular,Bert's is a place to feel accepted and have a good time with the locals.

Bert's has been around in its current location since 1954, longer than any business on Bothell-Everett Highway. It is a decent place with a good mix of locals, regulars, and passers by. A full bar, darts, pool table, outdoor seating, horseshoes, karaoke, affordable prices, and iconic appearance are among the many assets, along with good times and fun atmosphere. Not a big place inside, but it's no dive bar either. Biker friendly, easy access, and plenty of parking. Wheel chair accessible and worth checking it.

Ok let's get this straight people it's a Dive Bar. Does exactly what it says on the tin, serves beer and spirits in good measures (can't understand why some people complain the measures are heavy, why would you want less) I have been a regular at Bert's for 10 years so I think I have a handle on the place by now. Clientele is divided by day and night. Night time it's a gamble you never know what crowd will turn up could be fun could be quiet but I have never seen trouble so it's pretty safe. The afternoon mob are done if the nicest people you could meet. You will always find someone to talk to or just sit at the bar and chill. I have met fighter pilots, aerospace designers, plumbers electricians and so on it's the full extreme but everyone is an experience to talk to. The bar staff will know your drink and name after two orders service is attentive and quick. Plenty of TVs games and Seahawks games are a must fir atmosphere and fun. Don't take my word fir it come in meet the crew and have some fun.

This is the place my mom and all her friends would go to to grab a drink and hang out 30 years ago...seems crazy that this dive is still around. It's not a place to go to dance, or get dressed up, or go with too big of a group....but it IS the place to go if you want stiff drinks, hang outside, and shoot the it.3 or 4 drinks in that place is like 6 or 8 somewhere else....so you have to be careful. They have a pool table, horse shoes, a nice area to hang out outside, a juke box for music (just hope someone didn't load it up with music that sucks), they have trivia nights, pool tournaments, etc. If it wasn't for the nostalgia, and the fact it's within walking distance of my girlfriend's place....I wouldn't necessarily make it a destination as far as bars. But if you're in the neighborhood....drop in and have a drink out on the patio!

This is the first negative review I've ever posted and I've been here before. We love a good dive bar, I was excited to come in because I usually enjoy this place. We popped in after dinner tonight expecting the usual fun atmosphere. Instead of being welcomed to this neighborhood bar I was greeted with hostility from the bar staff and the "regulars". Not sure what I did, maybe being dressed up after dinner out is a problem but I won't be back. I hope the "regulars" keep this place afloat.

Went in to check this place out a few days ago. I needed a calm your nerves drink before recording a podcast. Real friendly, and you could tell everyone was having a good time. Especially that one dude... I have a friend, well not really a friend, more like an acquaintance. This guy is always in some sort of trouble, never has a drivers license but is always driving a beater anyway. The kind of dude that will bend over backwards to help you out but you're kind of worried he's also casing the joint while he's helping. Anyways, this guy asked me if I'd help him get some stuff out of his storage unit. He's behind on payments and doesn't want it auctioned off. "Bring your truck and we'll be done in a jiffy" ( this is back when I had a truck so probably early 2000s ) I swing over to the dive he's living in to pick him up. He's talking my ear off about some ridiculous Jerry Springer show type behavior and the sudden realization hits me... am I assisting in some sort of criminal offense? Are we on our way to rob a storage unit? I'm honestly scared, my heart is racing, I'm calculating my exit strategy if this looks to sketchy. Trying to keep my cool, I start tiptoeing around what he's going to do with the stuff we're saving from auction. He claims he has a better spot at "his old lady's moms place"I can't make this shit up!As we pull into the storage place I noticed all the cameras, oh man, I'm about to be on the worlds dumbest criminals. The dude tells me the code for the gate, from memory, okay I am feeling slightly better. We drive down the main aisle, take a left, and halfway down this row is his door. Well the door that opens the hall that has about 6 doors in it. The first key doesn't work. Beads of sweat form on my temples. The second key he tries doesn't even fit the padlock. Christ almighty I'm stressed. He pops in the third key, click. The lock opens. He reaches into his back pocket and grabs a small flashlight. He opens up the door and shines the light around the closet, relief floods my body. There's absolutely no way this shit belongs to anybody else but the guy I'm with! We cleared what he felt was important and didn't bother to lock up the rest. So like I was saying, everyone was feeling good, especially that dude in the corner that totally reminded me of my derelict buddy. The nerves were calmed and I recorded a great episode of the GoodTalkJosh podcast!

If your business is open until 2am, dont rudely yell at the patrons before then to get out, At 1:30 am on a Saturday, the bartender yelled at us, and everyone else in the bar to stop our games as, "we wont have time to finish" and turned the lights off over both darts and pools games. Extremely rude and pushed us to get out as "its been 2'oclock for a while now" at 1:40am. Will not return.

The ambiance was dark and dingy. We went last night (Aug 7) and the tall male bartender was gruff, standoffish, and not welcoming. The Karaoke DJ was pleasant, but based on the interactions with the bartender we will it be retuning again.

Bunch of complainers on this site. Sorry you don't like strong drinks, sorry you think it's up to the bartender to "police" drunks driving home (that's police work). Sorry the bar breaks so much cheese they don't need your business. If you want to be responsible for yourself, live and let live, and get boozed at a good value this is the Snohomish/King county haunt you are looking for.Would I take a shit in the bathroom? No. Would I mouth off to the bartender? No. Do I think I'm too good for this place? No. If I was, would I be here?... probably, (did I mention the drinks are cheap?) Think for yourself and take a look, if its not for you, you can always leave a bitchy review... they won't care anyway.

Barman doesn't pleasantly, he served Margarita for lots of salt, impossible for drink. I have asking him for what he recommended for me he wasn't pleased. It is ok. But after huge salty Margaritas when I asked exchanges.,he was so mad. But when I see "different" people coming,he dancing about them.. Worser bar in my life...
