In Short – Located well off trendier thoroughfares, this Fremont dive has been able to maintain its workingman's integrity despite the neighborhood's untrammeled gentrification. During the day, a mostly male crowd sips brews from the fine selection of micros; evenings often see old-timers mixed with younger folks and the occasional sprinkling of pool-playing sorority girls. Walls are adorned with photographs of early Seattle civic projects, like the building of the locks and the Aurora Bridge.

Editor's Tips

Where to Sit:
The view isn't spectacular, but the outdoor patio nearly doubles the seating capacity.
Know Before You Go:
The jukebox is one of the best in the area, and gets updated consistently.
On the Menu:
Many swear that the fish and chips rank among the best in town.
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Freemont's Best Dive Bar?

by SeattleDude at Citysearch

The PI has been around for a long time, and is a great neighborhood pub. They have a very well stocked bar and a great staff. The food is better than you might expect and great when you consider the price.

This isn't so much a place to get foo foo drinks..more of a gin &" tonic kinda joint. The beer selection tends to be pretty good as well! They clearly make an effort to support local breweries.

My favorite thing at the PI is the jukebox! The staff picks the music and they have great taste! Watching Animal Planet with the sometimes surly PI staff is a freakn' blast!

  • Pros: Neighborhood Joint, Good Pub Food, Jukebox
  • Cons: Small Venue

So dive-y, so delicious

by Lisa Kennelly , Citysearch Contributor at Citysearch

In a town with plenty of over-hyped fish n chips options, Pacific Inn is almost too good to be true. I don't know what they coat the fish in - some mix of parmesan cheese, spices, and fairy dust - but it will leave you craving it for days. Plus, at $7.99 for a massive helping, it's by far the cheapest version you can find in the greater Seattle area. The fries are nothing revolutionary in terms of style but are fried perfectly golden.

I ordered the burger once in a misguided attempt to go off book. It was meh, but that's my fault for straying from the standby. Otherwise, they have a solid selection of beer on tap, a couple flat screen tvs for watching sports and an outdoor patio.

OK, so a homeless guy might wander in. OK, so the floor's probably never been cleaned. Just be quiet and munch your fish and use the money you're saving for a second round of beer.

  • Pros: Fish n chips are addictive
  • Cons: A little grimy, a little gruff

Good food,service like they hate you

by honestpatronreviewer at Citysearch

The daystaff is fairly normal but the 2 guys that work nites should really do everybody a favor and move on.

I suspect they can't go anywhere else because nobody

wants them.

Otherwise why would they stay w/ a job they obviously hate.

The P.I. has a history of surly,nasty staff

but they have decent food if you like grease and carbs.

  • Pros: Good fish and chips,parking
  • Cons: Bartenders seem really unhappy,burned out,hungover
