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.

1. RELAXED atmosphere. I make a new friend, if only for the night.. everytime I go there 2. strong drinks. Alcoholics rejoice, your money will not be wasted here 3. great kitchen, they'll deep fry anything there... mmmmm! 4. wicked awesome juke box 5. MEDIEVAL MADNESS (best pinball game 3var) 6. darts! 7. the "outside patio area" is "relaxing" 8. wizards! (I am not kidding, go wednesday night at 10pm) 9. clean restrooms, for a "dive" bar! 10. the bartenders are swell.

Pros: two thumbs way up

Cons: none

One of the few bars in this town that serves Bekerovka (not sure if I spelled it right), so I keep coming back on that alone. However, The Twighlight has super good food as well. The pulled pork, the burgers (haven't ventured to the peanut butter bacon, but it has super cult status) the fried chicken for your incredible bar food -but what people DON'T realize is that The Twighlight has one of the best cobb salads in town! Weekend brunch is perfect for those with a huge need to stay away from the sun and eat mammoth amounts to cure their hangover, just be aware that you'll be waiting a while before the food comes (the bloody mary is served instantly though). One of my favorite spots in Seattle.

Pros: stiff drinks, good booze selection, incredible food

Cons: waiting for brunch with a headache

been around the Twilight a long time. If you want good people, stiff drinks and a little crazy in your life, this is the place to be. Happy hour is always mellow, weekend brunch is always a kick in the pants and Sunday karaoke has been known to be off the hook on occasion (more occasionally than not). I've always said the place reminded me of my buddy's bedroom back in the '70's. Lighting (it's very red), mood, people. a good place to get your groove on. Juke is pretty good too.

Pros: try the peanut butter and bacon burger!

The lighting is cool, yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't poeple eat anymore? I love the food at the new Twilght Exit. The burgers are soooo good. Don't get me wrong the drinks are still great, but the food... see for yourself. This is my new burger joint!

Pros: great food and drink

Cons: food is slow sometimes

I just had my birthday party there. never heard of the place. It Rocks! Great people working there. They so took care of me. Made sure that the cabie knew where i was going. it was my birth day so i didn't have time to really check the place out. However, i felt very cool in that place. going back soon. can't believe that i've never been ther. it's my new secret place.

Pros: kickin' party place

Cons: can't smoke (not their fault)

Holly Cow! Finaly a great hang-out bar in seattle that isn't too crowded and has great food. Two days earlier I had a steak at Morton's, way good ($45), tonight I had a steak at The Twilight, and-oh-my-God, it was great. I never knew. Now, this bar has it all. Stiff drinks, rockin' jukebox, and incredible food. I can't ask for more. The lighting is top notch as well. I love it!

Pros: The food, the food, the booze

Cons: A bit off Capital Hill (maybe a good thing)

I've been enjoying the twilight formany years and the spot (across the street from the old) has been better than the old Adam, Dave, Erica, and Thomas all made the trip to the new locale. There are new faces as well Ryan the Chef make some of the best food anywhere on the hill and breakfast/Brunch on the weekends is awesome. Sunday still rocks with hipster/secenster crowd. What more can I say this place is killer!

Pros: Strong Drinks, Cool people, Good Food

I've only been here for the kareoke on Sunday nights, but it's been great every time! The crowd really gets into it, and the BBQ guy shows up on those nights for tasty treats right outside! Even if you don't get up and sing a song of your own, you're sure to find tunes to sing along with.

Editor's Review

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