awesome nautical tavern makes you dream of "old Ballard"...

by weatherboy

The Sloop is almost one of those bars that you hope noone else ever finds out about. But, the crazy cheap beer, and totally relaxed "sailor tavern" feel of the place is one that you just want to share with everyone. Most people in Ballard already know about it. It's a great place to enjoy a 33.8 oz (to be exact) beer for around five bucks or less, don't know many places that could come close to that kind deal. Go spend a lazy saturday afternoon there, the food, drinks, and atmosphere will win you over without a doubt.

Quick little tip: Park in the back, there are about 4 spots right behind the building that noone ever uses! You can park in the rear and walk right in the back door.

• Pros: Cheap/Good Beer, Great Food/Setting, Great Atmosphere
• Cons: None come to mind

The Slooper is King of Beers

by billygoatcheese

You might call The Sloop a One Trick Pony. But that one trick, the 34oz Slooper beer, is really all a bar needs to stand out from the crowd. At 3.75 domestic and 5.50 micro (I'm not exactly sure of this price, seeing as every time I'm there I have a couple sloopers, but it's pretty damn close if not correct) the bargain is tough refuse. I guess I'd say that at prices this low, you can't afford not to buy. So head on down to The Sloop, and be sure to tell your bartender to "sloopersize" you.

• Pros: easy-going, pool, other games, THE SLOOPER!!!
• Cons: slow food, can be crowded

Good Crowd, Cheap Beers

by k2dogg

You can't beat the huge cheap beers and the casual, laid back crowd. If you haven't been here, you don't know good bars.

It could only be better if it were dog-friendly.
