So fricking loud its just plain stupid. Everytime I have been here it has been bad music so loud that you have to YELL at the person right across from you for them to hear you. I will never go back until someone steals the speakers.
Great loud dive bar. Its a good last stop before walking home. Dark and loud, strong drinks, and pretty good food. Not trying to be anything that its not.

Ballard Avenue's triumvirate of Hattie's Hat, the Sunset and the Tractor may anchor the neighborhood's nightlife, but this slightly out-of-the-way institution is no secret to
Ballard tipplers. Once a rough-and-tumble outpost, the Tin Hat has transformed itself into a friendly watering hole, where the rowdies have been largely consigned to the beloved jukebox (featuring the likes of the Cramps, Stooges, Gories and Devo).

The Draw
This isn't a place to play "stump the bartender." Simple cocktails and the occasional shot are acceptable, but beer reigns supreme. A strong lineup of mostly Northwest microbrews is available, though standbys like Budweiser and Pabst flow just as freely. The menu is comprised of standard bar fare (with some vegetarian-friendly choices), but the preparation is often surprisingly strong.…
