Editorial Review for Twilight Exit – by Kerry McDonald

The Scene
Hugh Hefner's first apartment comes to mind when sitting among the perfectly placed retro accoutrements. Orange and blue lamps illuminate this otherwise dark burrow while plush couches, swivel chairs, a rockin' jukebox and chatty drunk locals simply add to the charm. It's unlikely that you'll stumble onto this place: Though it dons a Madison Street address, it's nestled near the Central district, an area many people avoid at night.

The Draw
Besides a few nut and candy machines, this isn't a place for eating. Just sit back and drink your beer. Every Sunday night, karaoke superstars pack the place, so get there early, grab a seat and watch some of Seattle's best voices belt one out.

The Extras

Most nights there aren't too many folks around, so you can have the pool table, pinball machine or seated Golden Tee to yourself.

User Reviews for Twilight Exit

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Full disclosure: I live about two blocks from the Twilight Exit, so my love for it originally stems from convenience. I might not drive from Ballard, for instance, to check it out. So take the following with a grain of salt: I LOVE THIS BAR. It's got very cheap, very stiff drinks (esp during happy hour), couches, pinball, big buck hunter, a pool table, comfy booths, a magician on wednesday nights (for real), killer karaoke on sundays, delicious fried food (try the fish and chips), friendly capitol hill/central district clientele, nice bartenders. I come here whenever I can. You will like it.

Pros: see above, and an awesome jukebox

Cons: none whatsoever

If you're into rock music and if you can appreciate the rock classics from the eightees and earlier this place is made for you! The interior is very alternative and people hanging around are very social. Perfect place to have beers with your friends and enjoy good old rock songs.

Pros: Great rock music!

Cons: No cons.

The off-the-radar location of this hip, unpretentious neigborhood bar keeps the vibe just right.  See the full editorial review.
