Editorial Review for Comet Tavern – by Citysearch Editors

In Short
The dark and well-worn interior attracts a broad cross-section of locals. It wouldn't be unusual to see some of the Comet's original customers (circa 1948) hanging out at the bar guzzling beer next to local 30-somethings. While they might be confused by the pinball and video games sequestered in an upstairs loft, they would likely feel at home playing pool or congregating around one of the many tables.

The Comet Tavern has a rich history of great bands and loyal customers. Mama Casserole does an excellent job of booking quality bands. If you want to see a good show, but you don't have much cash, this is the best place in Seattle to do so. $4 - $6 will get you 3 or 4 fun bands who are eager to please the hardworking DIY crowd. My favorite thing about the bar is the vibe. It is unpretentious and hip all at the same time. Cheap drinks and good times can be had by all any night of the week at this classic Capitol Hill icon.

Pros: prices, music and vibe

Cons: the patrons can be a bit cliquish

I really enjoy this place, but there are a couple of guys working there which have been acting in a prepotent way now its been two times.. that is really bad for such a great place... and if you ask who this is...just go there and look for the "doorguy"

Pros: the place...location

Cons: employees attitude

A comfortable neighborhood dive that feels like an old T-shirt you just can't bear to throw out.  See the full editorial review.
