Screwdriver Bar

100% dive bar with the best rock n' roll decor. There is so much to see at this bar with the decor all over the walls and ceilings too. Every part is covered! Screwdriver Bar is located in a basement in Belltown in Seattle. Chris and Dave provide the best service and will share rock n' roll history with you while you enjoy a drink and the atmosphere.This is a gem of a spot and I highly recommend visiting when in Seattle!

Recommend "Mix n Match" cocktail It's a good place if you wanna go to a pub with less crowd where you can actually talk to each other. The painting and graffiti on the walls was very artistic and a nice touch! In my opinion, very underrated pub

Terrible service, terrible bar. The bartender was rude and condensending. For no reason at all, he kicked me out of the bar and aggressively yelled at me. He didnt't offer me water or food (like a responsible bartender would) and instead treated me like a feral alley cat. He was an angry yiking. When waiting for a drink it took ten plus minutes and you are spending ten dollars on a beer to be ignored service and treated like a degenerate inconvenience. Don't go to the screwdriver or you will get screwed. Unless you enjoy feeling horrible and getting ZERO service or human decency.

A dive bar with a twist, definitely a fun place to check out!I came by on Friday night with a friend to grab a drink at the bar. I love that they had NA options - both wines and realistic mocktails! I decided to go for the NA sparkling rosé that came in a can.Every inch of the place was decorated to reflect the grunge musical style - from the pictures of artists on the walls, to the endless CDs on the ceiling. Even some of the tables had little figures of instruments inside. It absolutely feels like you've entered a hidden music venue, even though it's a bar.The only thing I would recommend is to come by later in the night as the music gets LOUD. It was a bit challenging to have a conversation, especially after our group grew a bit. It would be better to start elsewhere, and come by when you're simply bar hopping and not chatting quite as much.Overall, I had a great time and will absolutely be back!

Fun vibe, fun decor, fun drinks. Only food that exist is potstickers served in a black Chinese to go container which is hip and cool. Service is great for drink and music in the back room is awesome. Heard some great Christmas song.

Such an underrated dive bar! The vibes, music, decor, and drinks were all superb! Right when I walked in, I loved the environment. There was a DJ playing vinyl records. It was very lively, and there was so much to look at. I tried a few different drinks, and these were my top two: La Piñata: The most amazing cocktail I have ever tasted. Everything about this was just perfect! I'd order this several times, if I could. Welcome to the Jungle: A very refreshing drink with great flavor.

I've been to many, many dive bars. I wouldn't exactly call myself a dive bar aficionado but I do love them. Sitting high above the pile is this GEM of a dive located in the heart of Belltown. The vibe is amazing. You can literally pick a spot to sit, have a few drinks and stare at the ceiling looking at all the crap haphazardly but brilliantly laid out. Visually, this bar is an eve full. Every inch is covered with the most random, amazing crap. Albums, pictures, dolls and whatever the hell else you can think of are all here on full display. The only downside is that when I'm there I tend to ignore who I'm with because visually it's just so interesting. Music and drinks are also top notch and I was surprised by how inexpensive everything was. If you're headed to Belltown, you really have to give them a try. One of my top 5 bars ever. Kudos.

Oh my god - why haven't I been here sooner? What an awesome dive bar with the best interior decoration!!! Came here on a Monday night and it was pretty busy - there was a dude DJing and really feeling the music. DJ def was quite loud to have a conversation without shouting but I think that's what the vibes are here. Do not skip on the slushies. I am personally not a fan of mint choc but oh boy their grasshopper slushy almost made me wish I got that one instead of the fruit punch flavor. I'll be back to jive in an excellent dive bar!

Hidden gem with some amazing cocktails! And every other Tuesday...Bingo!If you're looking for a vintagey music dive bar, this is your joint. If you're into amaro and other interesting liqueurs, also a great spot. The bartender let us play around and taste a few different things to create a couple fun cocktails. We'll be back!

I really wanted to like this spot and was pretty excited by the decor. It was really a cool concept with classic rock and retro decor. But the bathrooms and tables were pretty dirty and messy, with the booths being ripped to shreds. I get it's a dive bar but that was a bit off putting. I also didn't feel the drinks were worth the price tag - $16 isn't unreasonable for the area but the quality was not on par with most other bars in the area. The cocktails sounded like they should have been tasty and I liked everything in what I ordered but sadly it tasted pretty underwhelming and unbalanced. I had the Mr. Pharmacist and my partner tried the Big Jesus and neither of us liked our drinks. My partner also tried the mint espresso martini slushie and he liked that a bit better, but 1/3 drinks being ok is a disappointment. I think they were probably rushing or understaffed because the line was pretty long to order each time (15 min or so), so maybe it was an off night. Honestly we realized that we were the only ones in the whole bar not having beer or shots, and that we were the only ones who had stayed for more than one drink, so I don't think we were the only ones who felt that way. Not our vibe I guess. I don't plan to return unfortunately. Probably a good spot for a quick drink if you're just looking for the ambiance or having a beer before a show, but I'd steer clear of the cocktails.
