Great hospitality. The staff was helpful and kind. This place has an awesome feel to it.

They have live music on Friday night. A very different bar with a vintage/town like feel. Had the Long Island Iced Tea which was very good. In all a nice place to hang out.

A gem of a dive bar on Hollywood Blvd. Avoid the crazed clubs with velvet ropes and Fast and Furious crowd and get cozy with a shot of Jameson and PBR. Dim lighting and a juke box make for the perfect late night rendezvous.A Hollywood staple - you can almost imagine Dennis Hopper or James Dean drinking at the bar with you.

One of the best dive bars in Seattle. Period. Its been around forever and still going strong. Great place to hang out and chat with random strangers, if youre into that kinda thing.

Super fun and lively. Definitely will go back.

Love this place! They generally have live music practically every week, on the weekends. Everything is a decent price here, and it is right next door to the Floating Bridge Brewery. You could always pregame at Floating Bridge and then come here afterwards, or vice versa. Bartenders are usually nice and helpful. Bands are always a lot of fun! Highly recommend coming here to see some local groups play, always have a blast!

A new favorite for me... First time here was for an Opera On Tap event. Perfect venue for it. Nice big stage is great for performances. Layout of the place is good. I had great service from the bar people. Very patient with large crowds. I will be back!

Monday nights. AndyCoe band. Free (donations encouraged). These guys are the real deal. Just come. Listen & experience. You will be glad u did

If i can find your gofundme page i would!!! ...mary#3

Old school dive bar. Kooky bartender. Great patrons. Dog-friendly.

Good, cold beer. Relaxed atmosphere. Cant miss unless you try to have a bad time

Alas, the Blue Moon is boarded up! One of Seattle’s best dive bars is gone. A sad day.

I used to vibe with amazing people.. musicians like Canon.. Lion of Judah..D. J.Rashid... from Somalia ..Alric Forbes..Jamaican legend...many amazing Africans and musicians from Jamaica and the Caribbean..peanut night on Tuesdays...Deaf poets... Reggae nights in Thursdays...1997...1998...Amazing chats with many people from many nations.. all with the same worries..same cares...WE ARE ONE

I wasnt expecting much of this place until I walked in. I really like the mood on these kind of dive bars. Live music, pool table. And some frequent people that get to know each other. Will be returning for surely!

If your looking for a neat little stop to grab a drink, and sit where the kings of grunge from the 90s used to hang, look no more. Everyone in there was friendly. Caught some cool live music. That was a deluxe bonus, indeed.

A dive bar with a college degree. I will actually cry if this place ever closes. Cheap beer, books, and fresh live music? Yes please. No TV blaring - WOW. If I lived closer, wed have a permanent table here. Best bartenders in the U-District and an unpretentious crowd. Meet a new friend, or bring one and make out in a private booth.

Dont worry if its busy, it is worth the wait. I had a brother come into town and asked me to take him back here. Menu is similar to a restaurant in El Paso I loved.

One of my favorites. Very different every day. Good service. Good people

Went to see a friend perform. The place is cool!

Great bar section. Food was good. Services was great.

Blue Moon Tavern is a must go to bar in Seattle. Its steep in history and still has a ton of character. Many a famous people called this place their home, maybe you should too. They have an open mic night and regularly host local live bands. You really never know who you might see here both on the stage or in the crowd.

This is a good place to go to hear live music, and a historical landmark as well. Staff are friendly, and a good time to be had by all.

My favorite spot on a Monday night for live Grateful Dead music by the Andy Coe Band

Great bar with great people! Maya is amazing!

Reminiscent of Cheers as you always feel welcome.

Beautiful. Gritty.

Im a local, I love this legendary house of drunkards ( ´◡‿ゝ◡`)

Stinky nice bartenders great people

Great place. Cool music.

Used to go with my uncle when i was younger and still enjoy the old town feeling of this Tavern.

A favorite dive from my first days in Seattle. Anyone remember the Rainbow?

This is a really fun historic place. I think it opened around 1933. Good local live music!

Great venue to see local bands.

This is a great, divey bar. on off nights, it has nice, dark quiet places for talking.

This place is so cool!! Love the vibe

This was a great place to play as a performer and I will definitely be coming back as a patron.

This place is beyond racist. Went to support a friend performing and I brought my own beer ( I didnt know this was illegal. I dont frequent bars and the security guard said nothing). Rather than tell me that and ask me to leave, the man snatched the beer out of my hand, yelled at me in front of everyone there and ushered me out with his body. I stopped for a second to let my friends know I had to leave and he yelled at me and said you cant speak to them you need to leave. I was not resisting, I wasnt being rude, and I was leaving like he rudely yelled at me to do. He was overly aggressive and putting his hands on my person. They also refused to give me the information of the owner so I could talk to her about her overly aggressive staff who tried to force me out without letting me inform my friends. Security guard said she would have been just as mean. Good to know. Thank God my friends stood up for me. They told them how racist they were for treating a young black woman like this yet being nice to them when they were standing up for me and were more irate than I was. I work for a well known establishment where I have a rapport with the hundreds of customers I work with a day as well as tourists asking for suggestions. I will tell them my experience and to avoid this place like the plague.

A piece of irreplaceable, outstanding Seattle culture. Oh, & fun too!

A great dive bar with a homey feel.

I had an amazing night. Saw TC Superstar perform live and it was amazing.

Comfortable bar with friendly barman.

People like to throw around the term dive bar so much it begins to lose meaning. Blue Moon is as divey as a bar can be. Or you can call it character if you prefer. Either way, this bar has it all: bad odors, a sticky floor, flair up the ying yang, and cold beers. Welcome home.

This is the kind of place you come into and ... It feels like an old friends place that you have been to a thousand times. Regular live shows, great for after work beer and pool with buds. Good conversations to be in or observe on the adult side of the barlol also great for dates, some cozy 2 top booths with old books that have as many as tales to tell as the Halls of Hogwarts. ¡THELEAKYCAULDRON¡ Good draft selection, cheap Wells. And PINBALL! Fin.

I first visited this bar in 1991 when i was in the Navy to score certain recreational drugs and had my first dark beer, a Redhook on tap and played pool on tables with tie dyed felt. Well 30 some years later there is no more Redhook but they have a plethora of dark beers and other beers and the pool tables were covered because of the live music. The overall vibe hasnt changed in 30 years.if anything that old vibe has gotten more popular. Nice small town feel for a big city bar.

Met lots of cool people here over the years. Highly recommend.

The bartender did not acknowledge my presence for about 10 minutes. Then when two white patrons walked to the counter, the bartender stopped helping me and assisted them. Then when I thought he would come back to finish my order, he continued to talked to one of the other patrons. After sitting there for about another 15 minutes, I left and went to another bar that accepts black patrons. I had heard good things about this bar, and was looking forward to receiving excellent service. Ended up not receiving service at all. I would not recommend this place for any black African American person/s

Love it. One of the oldest bars in seattle? ... I think... Dont quote me. Oh, and the Andy Coe Band plays every monday and its freaking amazing.

Love this bar for open mic, music and hanging out. A lot friendlier than average for the area. A charming ‘dive bar’ with books, nooks and artists galore.

I got to see Blue Cheer back in the late 60s at the Moon. They were the start to heavy metal. A lot of bands got there start at the Blue Moon. This was a great bar back in the day. Close to the freeway after getting plowed. lol So what are some of the bands you have seen at the Moon?

Awesome venue for local bands

Really, really good live music. Every night. Cover is pay what you feel. Which is swell. Also, good beer. I dont think they have wine or food. But there is good music and good beer, and almost always a lovely atmosphere. 5 stars for definitely achieving what its trying to achieve.

My favorite dive bar in Seattle.

Great local dive. Can be raucous at times.

Great dive bar with random live entertainment and a pool table.

Not as good as it used to be. If you like being treated as a sub citizen this is your place.

Wonderful place to grab a drink and have a chat with some lovely U-District locals. Tuesdays is all day happy hour!

Its a dive bar, what can you say? Decent beer selection. Cash only, but they have an ATM to help you out. Live music is the draw.

Historic Seattle bar with awesome bartenders and eccentric patrons. Check their schedule for live music and open mic nights.

I think the best thing about this place is ordering a Mannys Pale Ale and a basket of peanuts. Other than that, kinda grimy and crowded (but hey some people love that!)

Best old school Seattle dive.

Sweet dive bar with a great atmosphere and good live music set up.

After all these years of going in and out of the place it continues to get be more of a wonderful adventure. Mya? the bartender was an absolute delight !!

Great beer and awesome local talent. This place has been here since the mid 30s and has seattle nostalgia all over the place. The stage sounds pretty nice. Had a great time.

Very good dive bar

Great pizza, good beer, sometimes the patrons are jerks.

Been a Blue Moon regular Since the 70s. It has heart n soul music and madness. Meet your next ex-wife, your future boss and more characters than Cheers, Mickey Mouse Club and David Letterman rolled up.

The bar is populated largely by regulars, and it is a colorful crowd. Decor dating back to the mid 1930s sets the mood for excellent events held every normal night. The walls are lined with books.

Pretty good for a bar, not too much to say about that, its a bar

Cool divey bar. With affordable drinks

Love this place! Reminds me of bars in Ashbury/Haight in SF.

Staff can be really mean. I wanted a beer and they almost charged me for a show I didnt even know about. Nothing special.

I hesitate to review this place, because I want to keep it all myself. So heres my compromise:. If you will drink what youre given, cheerfully excuse the person who enters the wrong restroom, enjoy some rock and roll, damn The Man, discuss with a fellow drunk the benefits of waiting out an earthquake under a pile of long-outdated encyclopedias, and be a good person who minds their own beeswax... You can sit by me.

Old scool badass bar just outside of the U district. Divey with a solid tap list.

A very divey dive bar right on the border of Wallingford and the Udistrict. This bar hosts a variety of local bands. If you want a snack they serve peanuts and it is acceptable to toss the shells to the floor. One stool at the back corner is set up as a memorial to a long time patron.

Pretty cool, I like those ole beer joints like that.

Great little local and historic bar.

Definitely a local joint with a lot of character.

Wonder if Layne Staley sprit comes back every once in a while.

Maya is the best I love you all so muuuch!!! Thank you for putting up with my hammered and keeping all the things I forget there safe!! Xoxoxoxo

Great Happy Hour, outdoor smoking area,

Overpriced hard drinks but a great stop on your way out of the U.

The one and only

It is a very cool dive bar. The bartender was fun to talk to about the history of the bar. The drinks were cheap and it is a fun place to watch the game.

A Seattle classic sitting on the edges of the UW University District and Wallingford neighborhood to the west. A divey, classic place lined with shelved books, an couple fun pinball machines, and a pool table, postered everywhere (even on the low ceilings), and peanut shells on the worn cement floors.

The most authentic bar ever. Great music, and wonderful people and bartenders.

This is an absolute hole in the wall but right on the main road. Several homeless were in side the bar killing time. Not my kind of Establishment.

Decent bar, but the place is a little too small for live bands especially with the pool table taking up half of the floor

Blue Moon is one of the only authentic places left in Seattle. Live music, peanut shells on the floor, small, with a whole cast of regulars.

Beulahland is the greatest dive bar in this pocket of Portland. It has a few rooms, often is busy, a mix of beer, and the food is better than youd expect. I dont like the hamburger. You know those kind that are so thick you can barely bite it? Plus its $11. Go with the $7 for three sliders. Theyre better and cheaper. Sometimes you show up and everyones watching a game or something on the big screen, or suddenly theres comedy going on. By the way, anyone know what a Beulah is?

Solid drinks. Great music. Awesome bartenders

Love love love this place..none of the douche attitude from the surrounding bars and restaurants super laid back and one of the friendliest bartenders Ive had on my visit thanks Grace ...definitely will be coming back.

The Blue Moon hasnt changed in 20 years. Still great bands, still peanuts on the floor, still cool people to meet. Go there.

Great bartenders and very friendly, lively atmosphere! Great music!

Great older venue that offers a real variety of quality live music gigs. Great owners and staff!

Because it doesnt suck. Like your mom.

Cozy dark atmosphere. Mellow.

Terrible, always blocking the alley. Security guy is a jerk, and bartenders play favorites based on prejudices. Would not recommend this establishment.

Nice selection of rotating beers on tap (divided up into Light, Dark, and Seattle), and free jazz on Wednesdays. Cool space.

I didnt know what I was going to. A Heckle Mic? But seriously, I had the BEST night that Ive had (stoned...) in Seattle in a while.So imagine, a host, a host with the most, leading a bunch of cynical, yet nice, Seattlites into a comedy show where the intent is to burst thru the grape-skinned Seattle sensibilities... for a laugh.At first, I snubbed it because I like to be rowdy and Im loud and I can make myself heard, but its Seattle, yanno. Especially when you realize some of the hecklers will also be the comics. My personal favorite was Aioli and Taylor, a newcomer.If youre looking for something to do Monday at 8 p.m., check this out!

A solid bar Im sure with good seating and a stage for band. Unfortunately I walked in with a fishing ball cap on and my buddy had a camo patch on his jacket, and we both were wearing boots. Despite being 4 hours until they closed the bartender told us they were closing and wouldnt serve us drinks right after she served two others. That took 5 to ten minutes of waiting while she clearly was trying to ignore us. We were polite the whole time, even after being told no drinks. They couldnt make change for a few ones to play at the pool table either. No matter how nice this bar might be if you arent dressed right, ie nothing that looks country, the service is not just terrible but downnoright discriminating. This was my second time trying it out and the first was not much different. I dont mind maintaining a theme at a bar but lying to people and turning them away based on clothing is downright unethical.
