Corner Pocket

I like this Place because it has strong drinks and mixed bag of people . You can count on getting hammered here without breaking the bank

What a fun spot! I don't get out much in West Seattle, but really glad we decided to check this place out. A group of us got together for my 30th birthday and hit up brunch in the area. We were eager to keep spending time together and a local suggested the Corner Pocket. I'm sure the vibe is much different when it's the evening time and full of people. But for a first experience, it was so much fun being the only ones in the venue! Imagine a cool underground dive bar and this is the place. You take an eerie and steep staircase downstairs and you arrive inside. There's poop tables, darts, skee ball, pinball! Even the juke box machines you load up from your app. Bartender made some strong drinks! They apparently also have food, but we didn't check that out since we had just eaten. This is a pretty cool place to come hangout.

Corner Pocket is a totally different place now that it has new ownership and the owners/bartenders aren't engaged in illegal activities. The new owners, in fact, also are involved with the Local 907 and the arcade, 8 Bit, across the street from each other in Renton.First of all, for the uninitiated, CP is located underneath, in the basement, of Easy Street Records and you could easily miss the entry door if you're not paying attention. From California Ave, you immediately start walking down a fairly dark and somewhat steep staircase before you reach the door.The pool table area is cleaned up, upgraded and has a nice new coat of paint. They have dart boards, Skee Ball and a number of pinball machines. There are plenty of TVs around so you can watch the game while you sip your drink or between your turns at the pool tables.They have a nice selection of 6-7 beers on tap, most of which are Seattle area microbreweries.I've never had any of the food here, so I can't comment on that, but I imagine their food menu consists primarily of fried bar food.Corner Pocket is a good place to have a few drinks and play some pool or bar games and hang out with friends after work.

Great lil dive bar/game room. Bartenders were always very friendly. Fantastic selection of tap, great cocktails too!

I think Corner Pocket is one of the most "Seattle" places I've ever been. Where else in the US can one find a breakfast cafe, small music venue, record store and pool hall/bar all in one building? I love this place big time and I've never had a bad experience. I've played pool with total strangers and they've always been super friendly (but that's West Seattle for ya). Pop in next time you're ready for a drink and in the junction.

It's a bit of a stretch to call this place a dive. It has the same funky charm that a good dive should, and it's a bit off the radar for most folks, even in the neighborhood. But it's a slice above dive status. Maybe a small slice, but it still counts.First of all, just finding this place was like finding buried treasure. It's down a flight of stairs I've walked past dozens of times and never noticed before. It's right under Easy Street, so odds are you've been by here yourself plenty of times, too. You walk in and it's pretty much a pool hall. There's a fully functional bar to your right, where you also get a rack of balls. The tap list is alright, and the top shelves actually have a few of the more common top shelf liquors. The tables are straight, if not immaculately felted. The sticks are pretty straight for the most part, and there's chalk out. Around past the bar, there's a viewing lounge with tables and chairs and TVs; clearly they show some sports here, though we were here late to shoot stick. Bottom line, this is a fairly clean, very comfortably lived-in bar where you could easily hang out for hours. I loved finding it and I will definitely be back.

Well the place has cleaned up since "what happened"... I have been coming here for a very long time. First time back since new owner/Mangement and they are doing a good job! Didn't see anyone doing drugs in the bathroom, staff is friendly, liked the atmosphere liked the crowd. Overall it's safe to come back. Thank you

Fun spot, pool tables, arcade, and a bar... fun vibe, nice people... will go again lots of neat shops in the area, great walking area.

Excellent for Pinball. Good value pinball. Food, decent. Beer, plentiful. Bartenders, friendly enough. It's still got a bad rep for old events but give em a chance. They have decent food but it could be better, beer selection is very good. Pool and darts as well. I wish they played closed captions on the television especially cause they got some good shows playing but like the sounds off sooo you're just watching it. Idk I like to watch a game between rounds so subtitles would be good. Thank you for maintaining the machines as well. Good place.Edit: closed captions are on so I'm happy

Fun atmosphere for a hideaway gem in West Seattle. The bartender was very friendly too. Had a great time playing pool and plugging the jukebox with some friends.
