Disgusting, over priced, and bartenders are conceited jerks. My boyfriend and I were checking out the bars in our neighborhood, and someone had recommended the Comet. While I do enjoy a dive bar, being from New Orleans, this place was especially disgusting. The pool table looked and smelled like someone had repeatedly pissed on it, and the bartender picked up our drinks before we were even done. Then he acted like it was our fault for putting them on the table by the pool table. Wow. I'm sure it wasn't his first day on the job, but it seems like he needs more training before he becomes an good at customer service.

MISLED. 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.

A classic dive bar. 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.

great place...wrong employees. 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"

Good Memories. I once was a regular at the Comet and my best memory was when I bought somethig from a new bartener named Jason He didn't bring me the correct change and I told him the fact and he didn't agree. I said that I wouldn't bicker and ask him to ask the owner to check the books at the end of the day. Next time I was in he was tending bar and produced the correct change and I thank him. I hadn't seen him in quite some time and stop drinking and stoped going to the bars. Working swing shift I would tune into the late night show and to my amazement he was playing the drums.Hey I havn't tied one on in over twenty years and Damn I'm proud of myself. I'm sure you are too . Thanks for not giving me the treatment. The girls are beautiful and I miss all of you . Thanks for the memories. I did this over and realized "No good Grammer no good speller" sorry.To the pretty blond I'm sorry I thought you were calling me a snibling nut. It was pionted out to me what you really said. Damn I'm fool.
