Boxcar Ale House

The best dive bar food ever. Great staff, cheap beer, and awesome food! The burgers are great

One of the last of the amazing old school Seattle dive bars here in Magnolia... Real people, good strong drinks, no gastropub infusion nonsense just a solid bar w/Great bartenders and deep fried eats and you can even sing REO Speedwagon or Nickelback or Biggie on a karaoke nite!

Karaoke with Easton, live bands, covered smoking outdoor dining area with tv's, good food, affordable booze, & friendly bartenders. Get the tater tots!I wish they had TouchTunes jukebox instead of old school cd's. Takes too long to find a song. I call this the Magnolia Targy's. Great local beloved dive with a lot of fishing industry folks. I leave Queen Anne for this place.

The quintessential "dive bar". Nothing fancy, great beer selection, friendly people and staff. And the food is what makes it for me, great sandwiches, fish and chips and THE best tots in the city. Occasional live music on Fridays and Trivia midweek. Come see me on the drums with The Ranken File band on the first Friday of the month.

If only they allowed dogsGreat neighborhood bar. Can get a bit smokey on the patio, but is lovely outside when the air is fresh. Please consider allow dogs on the patio. Well behaved dogs, of course.

Great neighborhood bar, friendly atmosphere and the bartender is really nice! Takes the time to explain the games that Boxcar offers, and a good drink selection!

Hands down worst experience i've ever had. Lady behind the counter either has no idea what she's doing or is purposefully over charging customers. I ordered 1 pitcher of beer and woke up this morning with over 80 dollars worth of charges on my card. Will not be coming back and please avoid this bar. Would be a good spot if ownership had any sense whatsoever.

The boxcar is a decent neighborhood dive bar that is convenient and consistently filled with customers. They have karaoke, but I forget which nights. They will let u bring your dog as long as u sit outside and they have a covered back patio section where u can watch football and get a bit of fresh air in rain or shine. The chili here is really good and I've also tried a chicken sandwich and the French dip. Food is really good value for the price, which is very important to me. Nothing worse than paying a ton of money and leaving hungry and dissatisfied. That won't happen to you at the Boxcar. Stop by and check em out if you're ever in my neighborhood.

Cute dive! Very chill, relaxed dive bar. Lots of seating, and games to play if you want. Standard bar prices, nothing special but it did seem like they have a lot of specials during the week that were worth checking out! I will def be back

I shocked myself and found to love this place! I've made some buddies with regulars and while I've come in the past (pre-pandemic), I forgot how enjoyable it is to come here. I've seen the typical magnolia-ite b*taches and just regulars. It's a great time every time, with decent pours and friendly staff that chill and even come hang after their shift. I dig it!For food, I've only had the burger and wings but need to revisit the wings as naked with sauce options on the side per a friend recommendation. The burger is good! And the fries are those Kringle kind, so FYI as everyone likes/dislikes fries a certain way lolAs of Jan 2022 (my bday month!!), karaoke is only on Saturday's.
