So glad to see Darrells Tavern up and running - theyve adopted some really great safety measures after re-opening including hand sanitizer and temp checks.The staff are outstanding and are taking the measures seriously while also providing great service. Shout-out to Emily who always takes great care of me and remembers what I drink, even if its been months since Ive visited.I miss the live music and trivia but Im sure thatll be back once safety permits.

Emily is the best! Great music, good selection! Free pool, pinball and great service! Definitely going make it a point to stop when we get the chance.

They have great pizza and the service was good. A good atmosphere and good music.

Its not a terrible place. But its for an older crowd for sure. Smells of old stale smoke and dust.. Service is fine. Mostly beer. And its just very quirky / tacky inside. Good for a chuckle and some live bands. Would not come here for anything but that.

Great neighborhood classy dive bar, stiff drinks and great service!

Just to be able to sit and drink a cold scotch on the rocks.

This is a nice drinking hole. Gabby is a GREAT bartender. A nice place to grab a drink. Need wings on the menu.

Litterally been coming here since I was four (4) years old. Darrell was my grandfather. He would let me play pinball while he did the books in the morning before the place opened. More recently (Im now 52) I had a few drinks, listened to some good live music, met the current owner and had a great time. Thanks for the tour of the old pool hall downstairs. It really brought back good memories of my grandpa.

Went to see Natalie Wouldnt here. Great show, cool place with lovely staff. Recommended!

This has to be the worst service I had in years. If the bartender has to go by 11pm just close the bar. It was so bad I didnt even finish the beer I order. I wonder if the bartender had some drugs to pick up or what. I havent been treated this bad trying to get a beer. First and last time I came to this place. Stay away.

Awesome venue, went to watch The Buzz, great time

Great Tavern. Cozy space, friendly staff. Solid local live music. Come for a good time !

Dive bar. Weird but fun crowd. Excellent drinks. The light my fire cocktail with jalepeno tequila is particularly good.The decor wasnt to my taste. But Im not a dive bar guy. If you like dive bars, youll love Darrells.

Super adorable little bar! Love their open mic night on Wednesdays

Classy and chill venue/bar. Reminds me of Cheers with the wrap around bar. Always cool shows happening here, tasty beer and good sound. Fun bar!

Amazing fun at trivia and such an old school feeling. Will be bringing my husband back to enjoy the vibe.

Kitch bar with live music. See your friends band play here. Dress down, enjoy.

Want to be the best looking person in the room? Go here

A cool old school bar with a velvet Elvis painting. Cool band too.

This place is great. The customers are friendly & fun, the music sounds good. Ill definitely be coming back

Great place to listen to rock and roll. Quirky, fun atmosphere. Dont forget to say hi to mom.

Dirty, dank, old and awesome.. kinda gritty dive bar... i love it

Great dive bar with live shows pretty frequently. A real gem.

One of the last bastions of non-Amazonized Seattle. Culture and vibe is anathema to the soul devoid, career/network-focused tech world. Enjoy this hold out until the inevitable Bezosian blight reaches it.

Excellent local dive bar that has bands that play every weekend. If you want to see some live music but dont want to drive to downtown Seattle, come here for a cool local show and free parking.

Took a little longer to get my food and drinks than I would have liked, but it was also very busy, on a friday night. Great food. Super friendly staff. Great place to take kids, or just go for a few drinks.

Great local tavern with live music and an awesome staff.

Tight little strip mall, its a taven amd three seperate places to get your hair cut, one barber and two salons... A little weird but whatever

First time impression! velvet Elvis esk decor Lively crowd, high energy crowd-pleasing band Alright by midnight Rocked the house! Good beer selection good bar! Would definitely go again.

Ive been here 3 times to see my cousins band play. Super nice people and environment. Cold beer. Fair acoustics. Clean bathroom. Always surprised to find a parking space.

Best dive of the North!

Great place. Great bands.

Best bartender ever!

Darrells is one of my favorite local dive bars. I try to come by a few times a year on Sundays, when they have the amazing jazz jam.The service is always impressive. They have a great list of beers, cocktails, and booze. Personal pizzas are available for food, and if they are out, you can bring in outside food.Always a good time at Darrells!

Dicey as all hell, very nice people and service

Great dive bar where you can see local shows.

A great place for local music

Classic dive with the classic vibe. Tip a few back but dont forget to tip a few back to your tender as well. This place is golden.

A single meh, but free pool table. Some decent pizza. Decent beer selection. Friendly atmosphere.

Dive bar with lots of local color. Working class, comfortable. My spot.

Love this place! Great pours at a good price and if youre lucky you might get to see some live music. Food is worth what you pay for it.

The live music there its amazing. I think they have shows five nights a week. Cheap drinks, great staff, an awesome punk rock and Metal, and rock music

Friendly staff, good beer.

Free pool table, jazz Sunday nites, divey

Always a good time. People always take care of me.

Parking lot fills up quickly. Good, local bar overall. Friendly staff.

Fun weekend shows to pack the house. I also dig the Wednesday open mic.

Over the years I have seen so many great shows here, I get my rock, blues and soul there! Yummy drinks and great atmosphere!

Really chill & cheap.. Really nice out side area.. I would hang here any day..

Good place for good music and beer. I really like their live music bands and their pizza. . Darrells Tavern rocks.

Bartenders will go out of their way to make the drink you will enjoy. Friendly atmosphere. Bands play there so check it out.

Great atmosphere. We also saw a legend play, so theres that. One Willis is a god.

Do you love velvet Elvis paintings and cheap beer? This is your place. Good live music too.

Fun spot for good live music. Went to see a friend play there and it was a cozy, intimate spot for them to jam in. Food was good and they have some good local beers to slam down. Not a bad spot to catch some bands and drink up.

Nice people,pool table,pin ball and trashy artwork. Good beer. Gets crowded so I like to go early.

Great music. variety of entertainment and right in my neigborhood. nothing like it around. the bartenders are delightful and the owner is around and will have a chat. i felt really welcome. prices are great too.

Was there Sunday ,April 28 for the space wasters poker run 50 plus bikes and a great time was had by all the staff was very cool & accommodateing THANK YOU ALL !!!!

Great pizzan and friendly staff

This is a great drive bar. It has a weird, retro feel. Keep in mind the drinks are normal strength not like most dive bars.

Great music and atmosphere can be found here, and with friendly and helpful staff as well.

One of the funner dive bars on Aurora. And, good music on Sunday nights.

Great dive bar with Great staff and live music. Open Mic on Wed... Jesse great host for that. Just good dive bar fun all around. .

This is an amazing dive bar. I felt like I was transported to the 1970s. A place that Tom Waits would call home or 1970s Waits would. Cool music, cushioned bar, and carpet on the walls. Americana perfection.

A hole in the wall with great service and good beers on tap. Happy hour prices make stopping in after work worth it. The food menu consists of pre-made pizzas, which are reasonable for a dive bar.

Ive been looking for a dive bar like this forever and was so glad to finally find it at Darrells. Its definitely the kind of place you want to take your friends, unfussy, but with a decent drink selection, good pinball machines, velvet paintings on a tinsel background like something out of a Kacey Musgraves video and some seriously solid trivia on Tuesdays. Plus, it felt safe to my lgbt friends, and thats important to me because not all dive bars are, even in the PNW, so props to Darrells for that, too. That and the $1 tacos. Yum.

Great bartender. Older mainly male crowd on a wednsday evening, good cheap baked potato . Seems like it could be fun on a weekend night.

Classic dive bar. Some outdoor seating / smoking area fenced off in the parking lot. Has a pool table, velvet paintings and a small stage. Oh, and a bar with booze.

Great place! If you dont like it here, theres something wrong with you.

Venue, music, staff...all get 5 stars!!! Love me some Darrells!!!

First time! Great music schedule, definitely coming back.

I love this place. Quirky, great music, interesting people.

Taco Tuesday is great. Great prices. Tacos and trivia.

I remember when I make my first peek and step in to Darrells Tavern, I feel comfortable and after couple more visits a realize that this place have a lot more to offer then just old floor and cheep beer. Darrells Tavern give me big wormed welcome hand, friends and friendship for live. Darrells offer five six days of live music and sometime even seven, because they just want it to, oh yeah -, after while you, just like me find out and see, why this place stay in shape of sixstees.Darrells Tavern is live and kicking hard.If you like do Birthday party here, dont be shy to ask, because they are super fun and cast amost nothing!I love Darrells and so easy five from me.

This place is a true Seattle dive with a wonderful family and a good, accepting vibe.

Go for Taco Tuesday a couple times a month. Its exactly what it is suppose to be for $1 and never disappoints. Beer is cold and the staff is always friendly.

Super divey, chill and make sure to go on taco night!

Darrells is a laid-back bar with just the right sized stage for performers. Ive been to the Sunday night jazz jam a lot. Singing with the band is a lot of fun and its a great place to meet up with fellow singers and musicians. If you want impromptu jazz, Sunday night atDarrells is the place. And I really like their mini-pizzas to soak up the beer.

Awesome little bar, good local bands. Amazing Bloody Mary!

Great place for cheap drinks and live music.

Nice atmosphere. Jazz on Sundays. Open mic on Wednesdays. Always worth popping in.

One of the greatest venues there is

GREAT tavern & a great place to see all your favorite local bands week after week. Fun atmosphere & decor. Good times with friends. Bands from all genres of Rock!

Intimate dive bar with great music acts. Cant go wrong stopping by here.

Stopped by here to see what it is like now. Taken over by twenty-something pseudo-hipsters who are decidedly NOT cool. Was accosted by a very intense young woman at the door demanding $9 for cover even though music wouldnt start for 1.5 hrs. Told her I just wanted a beer and was let in. Took fifteen minutes for bartender to get me a beer and then sternly told me ITS SIX BUCKS! Really, I thought, six bucks for a beer, nine bucks for a local nobody band? Pretentious A-holes, save your money and time.

Think twice ! “PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU ENTER DARRELL’S TAVERN!! Be warnedWhen you go there have a moment of silence in memory of a woman named Elenor for her husband abused her and neglected their three children and was the owner of this place during the nineties until his death a very evil man. I know of four men who were regulars who died of alcoholism and there were children neglected and were left at home without supervision and they had problems for years.Today the owner keeps a dog locked up in a travel box and is the most vindictive woman I have ever known. I wish you would not put money in her pocket.I pray that she finds the lord.

Friendly clean established local barsome food - no kitchenfull license + good beer selectionclean restrooms - no bidetsminimal attitude - have a seat

Darrells Tavern is our favorite bar in the whole Greater Seattle area. Everyone who works there is wonderful. Its a fantastic place for live music - excellent bands play all the time.

Old style bar, mostly younger crowd. Went on open mic night, it was a fun time. Each performer gets a really long time, so that was awesome for the guys

Great music.. The School of Rock rocked it!

I dont live in this neighborhood, but if I did, this spot would my regular. Great spot to see a band or just hang out with some friends.

Great dive bar!

Wow tonight taco Tuesday after 7pm the place packed with women having a Time of there life

This is a good traditional tavern out in Shoreline. It doesnt look like much from the outside, in fact driving past on Hwy 99 you may not even notice it. But inside its comfortable, with a 1960s or 1970s type of decor, complete with (fake?) wood paneling. Beer prices are quite reasonable and selection ranges from local microbrews to Rainier. There is something special going on each night, including trivia, open mic, and live music on Friday and Saturday. Plus, they pay their acts fairly, a rarity in the industry. Well worth the trio.

For years this place has kicked butt! From Taco Tuesdays, to live music on the weekends, this place rocks! Pizza is good too! Check it out yourself.

Darrells has THE best open mic host, yeah Jesse, and a super friendly atmosphere! We love it there.

Love love love this place! Emily is the best bar keep ever! Great live music, VERY diverse! I always feel welcome, the vibe is fantastic!

Great punkrock divebar

Fun, live music and fast moving bartenders. Loved it!

Awesome space... Great sound.. World Class bartenders...

Oh yeah, Darrells place is great. They support live music and always have awesome bands and a good time!
