Targy's Tavern

This is a hidden gem - I say hidden because every times I've been here, it hasn't been overpacked like every other Seattle bar I've been to. It's got a great casual vibe and the bartenders are so awesome - they're the type that remember your order and are attentive to everyone even though they're always running around busy doing something. Tuesday BINGO - This is what I LOVE coming to!! At 8 PM, they have Bingo for all - free to play, multiple around PRIZES (which range from $25 GC to Pringles!!!) I love how fun Kevin makes it - I feel like Bingo can be hard to host and to make entertaining but Kevin always makes it fun and enjoyable. He keeps everyone engaged and keeps things moving - never a down time except for break time. This is definitely not your grandmother's bingo! And is there ever a tie in Bingo? NO!Wednesday Trivia - They also have trivia on Wednesdays at 7 and April does a great job hosting that too. Again, free to play, 6 on a team, and prizes!! I love that Targy's has all these super fun events and free for everyone to enjoy. I mean, Tuesdays are slow night so what better way to spend it than to play Bingo and drink! So much fun, can always find street parking. The food is lacking here - boxed pizza, frozen pizza bites, frozen pretzels, etc. However, they allow you to bring food in and just enjoy their drinks. How awesome is that??

If timeless dive bars are your jam, you will find this windowless joint located in two places: In the dictionary and in a nondescript building located in one of Seattle's priciest neighborhoods. This place is like the basement bar you always wanted to build in your home, except the bartenders are much cooler.

Cozy neighborhood dive bar. The place is lowkey, nestled in a residential area. The people are nice and the bar is visited by a lot of locals. They have darts, two pool tables, and a few other activities.

I came in yesterday around 6:30 and the service was not great. We came in and ordered some drinks and a soft pretzel at the bar. Tried ordering more food too but we were told nothing was being served except pretzel and pizza. We then waited at our table for 35 minutes for the soft pretzel, but it never came. When I went to the bartender to ask how much longer, she said "when I get to it". And I said "oh, are you also the one making the food?" and she said "yes, I can refund you if you want". So, we did that and that was painless and quick. I understand that it was busy in there (there was a kraken game going on) and there was only one employee for probably 50 people in the place, but I don't understand why nothing was said to us about the food. It would be completely understandable to let us know that she was the only one there and the food would take a long time, or to let us know that she probably wouldn't be able to do any food. But, that did not happen and there was no hint of understanding that 35 min might be too long to wait for a soft pretzel.

Nice hole in the wall in Queen Anne. Stays open late. If your hungry you will leave hungry. Regardless all good vibes in this joint

Great place to hang out and have a drink. It's very low key and friendly. There is shuffleboard, pool and darts. Not sure but I think there are some snacks there as well. They have trivia and some other events the place can be kinda busy at times but it's fun and lively not packed and hostile. For sure will continue to visit when I need a a drink.

A classic old-school dive, surviving at least in part by virtue of having no competition whatsoever in hyper-expensive, yuppified upper Queen Ann. What a fun find! And such a relief on a hot, muggy August afternoon; an oasis of cold beer and working-class sanity in a gentrified desert.What's more, it's very clean and well-appointed. There are fun bits of memorabilia to peruse, pool tables and old video games, shuffleboard, bar-top video poker and a modern juke. The cave-like atmosphere makes it feel a little like the dinner-table blanket fort you made as a kid- a little hideaway, but with beer! Bingo on Tuesdays, trivia on Wednesdays, and happy hour 4-7 ($1 off most everything, $.50 off cans). Their t-shirts are cool!Service is good too; efficient, smart, attentive, pleasant, prompt, and informative. So why the missing star? No food to speak of, except prefab pizza and bags of chips and nuts. If they made a decent sandwich here...heck, they may not be able to get rid of me! But damn, I love that they're here, now, and I'm rooting for them to remain. Seattle needs to remember what it was, appreciate and enjoy its hard-edged, working-class heritage. If it doesn't, when this flavor-of-the-month boom passes by, it will have nothing culturally to fall back on.Support this local, and your mom-and-pop joints all around town. They're what will remain when the fluff gets blown away. Highly recommended!

Absolutely awesome local neighborhood dive bar. Targy's is truly one of the finest dive bars in the United States. Outstanding service, drinks, and ambience. Targy's is the perfect bar. I absolutely love this place and look forward to every visit.

Sober is one of the greatest people you can meet. He is honestly the description, of a perfect bartender. He is the most humble human. Come as a stranger leave as a friend is an understatement. This bar is number one in my book for this area

Virgin vodka Red Bull was perfection. If you come hungry, you will leave hungry. Long line for pool, but that's why they call it Kings of Queen Anne. 3.8/6 rating.
