Olaf's

Great local place if you love a low key bar. I only visit once a year during the Christmas holidays, so I visit walking up the hill from Market Street to Loyal Heights where my family lives. It's the Cheers bar of the area:). If I lived there I would be there way too often!

Nice dive bar with bopping music and great rotating tap list!It's fresh hop season and I was delighted to see they had a list showcasing them! Service is very quick and it seems like they are steadily busy even during the week night. I tried the white bluffs fresh hop and it did not disappoint!There is a fun vagina doorway that seems to attract a lot of attention by bar goers. I'll definitely be back to try their firecracker sandwich to accompany my beer next time. The tots looked amazing and I was floored the person next to me opted to toss it out. Blasphemy. Can't wait to be back!

Amazing food, especially for a low key bar. Nachos are some of the best in the city. They often do a specialty burger which are generally amazing.

Olaf's a friendly neighborhood bar in Ballard a few blocks from the main street. I stopped in while bar hopping with some friends and we ordered drinks and hungout for a while. There was already a crowd of friendly regulars in there with plenty of available seating. The bartender serving us was awesome and the drinks were very affordable compared to other bars in the area. I should mention the vagina wall right in the middle of the bar, fully colored and decorated, which is hilarious and interesting. If you're looking for a low key dive bar with inexpensive drinks in Ballard, this place is it!

Great neighborhood spot. Wings and tots are on point!! Good rotating tap lists. Everything on the menu is delicious

Great neighborhood local - excellent beers and a liquor selection typically only found at pompous douche bag joints. The regulars are super welcoming and the bartenders pour heavy Apparently pinball is popular and the food is upper tier for bar food (ask for Coach's sauce on the wings - damn great!) They also put on University of Montana football games when you ask - tremendous! Go Griz!

small town conservative vibe with no real management. Many of the bartenders are drunk while serving. Snippy over 60 club.

Stopped in for some food and it was decent, just your average bar food. The bartender was super nice and welcoming. Plenty of dogs walking around enjoying themselves and saying hi to everyone. Ambiance was pretty dive bar esk but nice. Would stop in for a beer again but maybe pass on the food.

Finally made it to Olaf's for a drink and a burger with tots. The burger and tots were well seasoned. I was so hungry that I failed to take a pic. I'd come back for more tots and to try the Philly Cheesesteak and Chicken sandwich. Both looked really good.

Pup-friendly neighborhood pub. Bartender brought over a container of treats while we enjoyed our drinks. Thanks!
