The Fremont Dock

Every time I make the mistake of wasting time and money at this bar a similiar scene plays out. I end up standing around the bar trying to find one of the 5 or so bar tenders/waitresses. Often they are in the back doing god knows what. I have seen as many as 10 customers stand around waiting to order as every staff member hides in the back. Unreal that this place stays alive!

Pros: Buck Hunter

Cons: Staff

Used to go every Friday after work. Still drove cross the bridge once we no longer worked in the area. We ignored the bad attitudes by a couple of the waitresses. Just went back for the first time in probably 3 yrs and was embarrassed to think we ever patronized the place. Same waitress was downright rude, ignored our table, took 1/2 hr to return with a pitcher of beer and flat out told us to come in (off of the deck) to order cause she wasn't coming back out. BTW - inside was dead! Pure laziness to walk 30 ft from the bar to their deck in very nice weather. We would have stayed for hours and left a very nice tip had we received actual service. We had to review and correct the tab that was wrong. She kept telling us that things were just written down and kept trying to make it our fault that they didn't keep track of what was ordered. She was the one that insisted we have one tab cause she couldn't keep a table of 5 straight. Of course it might be because we watched her do at least one shot with another table of 6 or 7. I was so embarrased to have asked my friends to drive out of the way to spend a Friday night there. If she hates her job so much - at least get a job at a restaurant that touts bad attitudes and service as a gimmick. Not our fault that she has a real chip on her shoulder and feels that we are putting her out by sitting down and ordering a drink. Really can't believe any management would still tolerate her. She absolutely, single-handedly drives away business! A real shame. I love the dive atmosphere, food and jukebox. Won't ever being going back though. I feel like they owe us for the gas wasted in traffic.

Pros: stiff, cheap drinks, greasy bar food, juke box

Cons: TERRIBLE LONG TIME WAITRESS

This is a great little spot tucked away in Fremont that is probably mostly known (and frequented) by locals and those who work in the area. It's a great place to go down a few beers after work and the food is decent as well. It's a great little neighborhood bar that's a good spot to meet up with your coworkers or friends at for a few drinks after you leave the "office".

Pros: Decent little place to go if you work in the area or are just in the neighborhood

Cons: Probably would never think to go there most other times, but just because it doesn't stand out as the place to go if you're not near it already

It's fun to catch an NFL game or two at 10am with a beer in your hand. The food is OK I guess...as is the service. Coffee is not Seattle quality...10 cups and my hand barely shakes. The Bloody Mary's are terrible. It's a beer joint anyway...what are you doing ordering a Bloody Mary!?!

Pros: Has NFL ticket, Opens early, come as you are

Cons: Bad Bloody Mary, Mediocre food

This friendly bar serves up stiff drinks with cheap prices and fantastic service. The food is awesome and fair prices. Why would you bother with the yuppy, overpriced bars with bad attitudes?

Pros: stiff drinks, cheap, fabulous service

The food is plentiful, tasty American/Greek fair, the drinks are the most generous in town and they pour the best bar scotch around, but the most alluring element is the air of friendship in this place. Gay, straight, lesbian, redneck, suits, fisherman, welders, you name it, everyone is welcome and comfortable here. Thanks, Ula. May you keep taking care of your neighborhood for many years to come!

Pros: Friendly, Good drinks, Inexpensive

Good, unpretentious place to grab dinner, a drink after work, or even breakfast. The waitstaff is friendly and efficient. Good mellow place to watch sports on tv. Only downside, you leaving smelling like an ashtray no matter what time of day.

Pros: food, service, never crowded

Cons: smoky

Pros: inexpensive, not crowded, no waiting

Cons: none, none, none
