4Bs Tavern

"Really had a great time here... Pool, karaoke, pinball, killer queen, buck hunter, strong drinks, working bathrooms, what more do you need? You might need something to soak up the alcohol (I did), the chicken strips and tots were perfect!"

"the bartenders are so friendly! The food, drinks, games, everything is perfect! They have Mario games!! People are always polite too. But, you can only pay for the games by cash so bear that in mind!"

"Girlfriend worked at 4B’s about 12 years ago and enjoyed how little had changed since bartending here. We just grabbed a pair of late night IPAs. Pinball has become a phenomenon and when we mentioned the Pinball Wizard, the bartender told us he doesn’t mind saying “he’s one of the best in Seattle”. They hold tournaments here so if you’re down to become one of the best, head to 4Bs sometime!"

"I celebrated my 56th birthday there. Had a wonderful time! The owners were great, and the karaoke host was knowledgeable and energetic. He even played requested music in between singers!"

"Came here for the first time on a weekday around 2. Parking was easy, there’s a lot right outside. First thing I noticed was the smell (like old carpet? Musty?) which is expected in an old dive like this, and I did get used to it and go nose blind but it really hit me walking in, I wasn’t sure I could stay. We waited at the bar for quite a while before somebody showed up, but they were very friendly. The alcohol selection wasn’t great as far as variety, same for mixers. We played pool and the tables were good, they take quarters. They have an atm and a change machine as well as a coin machine so everything you need to play pool and pinball and the claw machine. At first the only sound was a single (noisy) pinball game and people chatting, no music or anything. It was sort of peaceful and a great vibe. Eventually the music came on and it was a bit loud for a weekday at 2 but the content was fine, I didn’t pay much attention, I was just there to play pool. We ordered nachos which were a 3/5, just meh. Shredded cheese on chips with diced tomato, pickled red onion, and pickled jalapeños but black olives, and they were out of sour cream. It’s a limited menu, not a dinner place. We won the beanie baby claw machine (which is an adorable touch for this place) three times and only spent like $15. It was a lot of fun! I don’t usually waste money on claw machines but it was only $1 and my partner is a wizard with those things (construction). It was also pretty hot, uncomfortably so. The thermostat said 74, but it didn’t feel like it. I was in that uncomfy about to break a sweat range for a very long time. Smokers gather in the parking lot and there’s a bucket for butts but there’s not much room out there. It would be great to have a small area for smokers to go, especially encouraging it to be a bit farther from the entrance. This place would be incredible with a smoking patio. Every single person I encountered here was an absolute delight. It was a little strange but it felt very comfortable and down to earth. It felt like a mostly blue collar crowd, very casual. I noticed like 60% of the people there (no joke) were wearing a tee with some type of brewing company logo on it. Despite all its shortcomings, I had a wonderful time here and will absolutely be back. Just maybe not in the summer when it’s so hot. Edit, second visit: 76 this time. Bartender not super present, I think he takes a lot of smoke breaks. Won more beanie babies though. I’ll be back for the beanie babies."
