Teddy's Tavern

Drinks were very affordable and good quality for being a dive style bar. The outdoor seating area has a ping pong table and it's secluded from the noise of the cars outside. Bathrooms are a bit snug but other than that a great casual bar to visit!

This is for all you 70's and 80's kids. You remember your friends basement that had that woody musty smell, perhaps from the wood paneling l, maybe from a little mold, maybe both? Who knows, all you know is that this place and this smell meant refuge from the adults. A place where you and your buddies could be as weird aS you wanted to be. For those of your to young to know watch That 70's show. Same feels.This is Teddy's on Roosevelt.

The greatest bar on planet earth. Fresh squeezed juice for every cocktail. Ping pong on their patio out back.

I am no longer welcome at Teddy'sI fell hard while attempting to navigate the trip hazards leading to the back deck.No one helped me up or offered me a hand. ‍ I was denied service... for wearing a tricorn pirate hat?I wasted way too much money there, but I met some awesome people.If you go there prepare to be slandered elsewhere and all around town.I wonder why it is that the bikers don't seem to go there anymore.‍

So not what I expected on our ladies day! Hahahah it was a nice slowdown, the staff was friendly, and the beer was tasty!Pros?Pitchers of whatever!Friendly staffBig indoor area Full bar Generous pours Good IPA options Cons?Not much lighting Tiny bathroom

I had the worst bar-going experience ever here the other night. I guess I've just grown used to people who work in the bars around here actually being friendly... The manager of this bar openly discriminated against me on 11/10/17 for having a SERVICE dog and made me feel so incredibly unwelcome that I will NEVER be back; except to get an apology from the rude guy with his hands up in this picture. I know the laws, he clearly DOES NOT. In short, what happened: My 3 friends and I try to enter, the manager says, rudely, right off the bat, "Yeah no dogs allowed." I told him she was a service dog and he asked me for "papers or identification." I told him there was no such thing as a "national service dog registry" or cards identifying a dog as a service dog and he insisted that there IS a national service dog registry. (LOL, those sites are SCAMS!) I told him I had accidentally forgotten her service dog vest at home (which I do have, and usually put on when going new places to avoid situations like this). I attempted to explain to him that there are two questions he is allowed to ask me to determine if she is a service dog, but that she's not legally required to have any identification, at which point he said, "Yeah no, the health department told me they need papers, I can't let you in." I told him it's illegal to refuse entry to someone with a service dog and instead of hearing me out, he became ruder, and said, "Can't you just find somewhere else to go?" I asked him, "Can't you just follow the law?" He continued to get more upset, practically physically blocking me from entering the building and stating, "Can you just go? You don't have papers, she's not a service dog" I told him I wasn't going to purchase fake papers online when I have a real note from my doctor (which I certainly don't have to produce to a bartender!). He then told me, "I know you're lying and that she's not a real service dog because you said you weren't going to buy fake papers." I can't even begin to explain to you the level of incompetence exhibited by this man! I tried to show him the law on my phone, and he just refused to look at it and told me to go somewhere else. When I said, "Ok so just so be clear you're discriminating against a person with a disability?" He sarcastically said, "yeah ok sure." I almost didn't believe he was the manager, based on how rude he was being, so I took his picture in case I needed it in the future. I should have left sooner, but I kept thinking "if I try to reason with this guy, like I have so many other people, he'll look up the law, and be informed." NOPE. UNBELIEVABLE. I deal with this all the time, but never have I encountered someone so obstinate, who refused to listen to reason or look up the law for himself, here ya go (http://www.wla.org/assets/WALE/2015WALEConference/Service%20Animals%20and%20the%20Washington%20Law%20Against%20Discrimination.pdf )I'm considering filing a complaint with the disability services section of the department of justice. Yes, I realize I don't use a wheelchair and I'm not blind. I don't look like the typical person with a disability, but any educated person knows about invisible disabilities and any bar MANAGER SHOULD KNOW THE LAW. (He claims "the health department told me this": people in the health dept are just people and they make mistakes, the law is the law and it has the final word)

Teddy's knows EXACTLY what Teddy's is trying to be and for those unsure if Teddy knows...they do.With crisp draft beers (note the clean draft lines and impressive selection of 8-10 beers for such a small shop) and multiple pool tables usually wide open, this is a great happy hour or casual hang out spot for your crew. While the decor hasn't been updated in a while, the ambiance jives together in a divey yet controlled and cleanish fashion. I didn't have a chance to peruse the spirit menu, but there looked to be a few mainstay offerings at reasonable price points.This is a perfect location for a quick drink or afternoon hangout. Don't tell them I sent you, I'm pretty sure they'd be indifferent about the whole thing.

I went here for a game not and not necessarily for the beer. It was too dark for me for either experience. I did chat with the bartender and he was a nice enough guy. Even chatted with another patron who was a local regular.I am not a fan of dark places to eat and drink these days. There were only a few other here that night drinking but that is why I suspect they offer tables to gamers. The gamers had to bring in portable lights to play!

Every time I stop into this bar I have fun. I think the music gives off a punk rock bar vibe that makes me feel at home. I heard Op Ivy and NoFx in my short time there last night. They have a fun hot nuts selection and bags of chips. Drinks are great and when the regular bartender is there I recommend getting an old fashioned. This bar is fun and has a dive feel but with a nice restroom that is a little better than a standard dive bar. They also have a lovely sweet, hidden back patio.

Rude server at around 1 something AM, got an attitude when I asked "what's in the lemon drop"Him: "it's literally right on the board"Lol not everyone drinks, I don't know anything about alcohol, but the way he made perfect eye contact and a respectful manner with my boyfriend and the other patrons made me feel unwelcome and disrespected. You lost a pretty good tip, buddy. The drink was actually pretty good, you just need to fix the professionalism part. My boyfriend definitely noticed, this type of rudeness and "oh you don't know an alcoholic drink haha" makes me not want to go to bars at all. He was just cold and bratty towards only me which was so immature
