    Plenty of Seahawks fans here, but if you're part of the Panthers diaspora, this is the place to be! At least one TV will have the game, and you're guaranteed to find a few fellow fans.

    Ballard Loft is near the end of Ballard Avenue. They have a nice courtyard out front. Two stories inside. It's usually crowded, but it's far less snobbish than King's Hardware. They have website. Read more

    One of favorites places to watch a game! Great selection of local microbrews and some of the best hotdogs in Seattle. Seahawks, Mariners, Sounders or Huskies- this is the place to be on game day!

    Great weekly drink specials, we went on a Thursday and they has half off specialty cocktails! Also you can reserve the upstairs loft area for private parties!

    The food itself was wonderful! $5.50 appetizers including nachos, wings, pita and hummus, sliders, tacos, etc. We had the wings, pita and sliders. The pita bread was soft and warm and delicious wit

    Steak tacos are amazing, so are the sliders. Monday nights are happy hour deals from 4pm-close.

    If you have a group bigger than four, you'll probably need to get here OVER AN HOUR EARLY to get one of the, like, three big tables.

    Get the sliders, obviously, and if you're looking for an appetizer, go for the chorizo quesadillas.

    It is like the frozen food section at the grocery store showed up here but with less flavor....don't expect to have your taste buds excited unless you order beer cause that,is the only flavor here.

    Bartender is awesome, female waitress sucks. Waited 20 mins and had to go get our menus after being told she'd be over soon. Another 15 after eating and she acted weird when we brought up the plates

    Service was good -- water refilled often, food came out fast, etc. The booths we sat in were kind of dingy, and not living in Ballard, it was extremely difficult for us to find it. I had to personal

    For some reason, it takes coming here three times to realize that it just kinda sucks. Mediocre beer selection, fair to bad service.
