The Octopus Bar

Plenty of fun decorations and seating to talk and hangout. The staff were very friendly.

I actually really liked this place! Super cute, pool, stage space, larger than I thought it would be, large bar. Decent drinks for a divey bar. Service was fast.

I loved the music, the ambiance, and the drinks. I can see why they get busy here. As the night progresses, it becomes more of a party scene. The food is amazing at the Salty Shack, and the drinks are reasonably priced. I loved the nautical theme and quirky decor throughout. I came here on accident, thinking they were Inside Passage, but I'm glad we checked it out. I recommend it for dates, groups, and especially for the late-night party scene if that's your thing.

Discovered this very cool spot with funky decor and a distinctive atmosphere. Arrived post-kitchen hours, but the tempting food display ensures a return visit. The cocktail was a delight, and the bartender was both friendly and helpful. A hidden gem that's absolutely worth a visit for its unique vibe and promising menu.

My friends and I LOVE this bar. Excellent service, food and cocktails. Everything is reasonably priced. The vibe here is definitely fun, funky and retro!

Talk about a themed bar -- tucked into the heart of Wallingford, Octopus Bar is a nautical dive bar with good drinks and great decor. It's fairly unassuming from the outside, but deceptively large indoors and complete with tons of seating and a pool table. I stopped by with some friends on a Friday evening for a chill night. It was easy to find a table, but I will say that it was fairly busy. I'd probably recommend it for groups of ~5 or less. This was the perfect spot to be otherwise, with a great food menu and tons of solid drinks. I liked their hazy on tap -- the bartenders were all sweet and helpful, and I'll definitely come back again!

This is perhaps one of the least expensive bars out here in the Seattle proper, and it doubles up with good drinks and great decor. Nautical theme, which seems to be quite ubiquitous in the Wallingford area. I went here with some coworkers and there are plenty of open seating on Tuesday night. Inside, there is a pool table and vending machine containing many random things, among many eclectic items. I got the Shipwrecked Molly which has a Swedish fish candy piece on top, and the drink itself is pineapple with vodka and blue curacao. I personally shy away from pineapple in drinks because it gives me bad memories from college parties, but the drink here is decently made. It is simple, which also explains the relatively low price compared to many other bars in the area.Overall, this is a pretty solid bar in the area, and it is quite fun and lively. The only downside is that it is quite far from the downtown Seattle area.

Found this place thanks to Yelp! Loved the atmosphere. Decor was fun and so much to look at. Every time I walked around, I would notice something new. Totally loved how it had character.I mean look at the pic of the shot names I included too, how could you not laugh/ love it?! I only had drinks but can vouch they are great as well as the service! If you're looking for a fun time, definitely gotta check out the octopus bar

Love love love this place. So well managed. Everyone is incredibly friendly and well organized. I lost my bracelet a few weeks ago and they were able to find it for me! I owe them so many hardy tips, the bracelet had my great-grandmother's diamond on it. I was utterly shocked when they got it back to me. Thank you so so much to whoever found it. Overall, I can't recommend this place enough. My favorite bar in all of Seattle. They always have something fun going on everyday of the week. I even was a vendor at one of their art markets and had huge success- more than any I've done before. And don't even get me started on how good the food is. I swear I crave their chili tots every other day haha.

I've been wanting to come here for a long time, and luckily for me I walked in last night literally 5 minutes before trivia started and ended up staying for over 2 hours. Whoever was leading trivia did an INCREDIBLE job and we had such a fun time!We got a few drinks, I really liked the shipwrecked molly! If you're a mezcal fan, the sirena secreta is also good! Also got the mini corndogs, they were so so good and the serving size was much larger then I was expecting and I didn't feel shorted the way bar food/apps sometimes do. One reason I gave 4 stars, and I will go back, so I'm hoping to upgrade to 5 stars in the future. The bartenders were both super rude. I generally drink in places where I know the bartenders so I haven't really experienced the stories of rude Seattle bartenders but definitely did last night. Hoping it was just an off night, I'll definitely be back anyway.
