MISLED

by jmclaytonii

I went ready to hear a band that The Stranger recommened. Instead, I could even SEE the band. A bunch of weirdos did a half circle around the band and I could see ANYTHING! Plus, the band obviously had a problem with the drummer as they were asking for anyone the crowd if they were a drummer and had an key. Geez! Also, the bar was out of so many beers they had to explain to so many people what else was leff of the cheaper beers. The opening band was TERRIBLE. Now I understand that this is no quality place to hear music, just a place to drink whatever beer and listen to loud noise. I highly recommend AGAINST this place.

• Pros: none
• Cons: weirdos

A classic dive bar

by SeattleBen76

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

great place...wrong employees

by cpbear

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
