I love this place. I only ever come here for karaoke, but the bartenders (shout-out Marcus) are super nice and attentive, the karaoke hosts are on point (shout-out other Marcus, who judiciously employs audio effects to enhance your performance)... it's just an overall pleasant time.

This place hasn't changed in 30 years, not even the fishtank water. Smells like an abandoned food truck. Bartender, using that term is a gigantic untruthful statement, was rude, very slow, messed up the easiest drink vodka soda! 2 shots of fireball was $38 and not a full shot amount. Sadly I if it's another 30 years before going back, it's #TooSoon

I can’t believe this place is still open, the bartenders are so rude, they have no class at all, I fell and non of the workers helped me they just ignored me. If you like to have fun and appreciate great service you can’t go wrong with Neighbors in Seattle , they have been one of the best gay bars in Seattle for many years, they welcome everyone gay or straight. 😔😔😔😢😢😡😡

No food. Bartender Rob was drunk and tried to use bullwhip on me and my friends and refused to stop or put it away 🤮 The owner, Floyd refuses to take action despite multiple complaints over the years from other patrons. Queer bars should be a safe space; this isn’t and won’t get another dime from me.

I have to say, be not deceived by the looks or the size of this hole in the wall.. The Owner is one of the kindest persons I've ever met! Every Friday the have their Steak Special. I'm assuming the owner is the Chief! The Steak came with your choice of salad ,baked potato or fries! All under $30.00 bucks. They even have Taco days too. Although they don't provide Taco Sauce, if you ask the owner to bring some prior, he will accommodate! Get atmosphere and great service too. All the staff are pretty laid-back and friendly! Although I'm not a smoker, the back patio is small but also a nice get away and it's always fun chatting it up with the smokers! They provide a pool table,karaoke and name that tune bingo! Everyone is treated equally. As a Blk man, I've never felt unwelcomed! I highly recommend stopping in. And I drive from Everett to stop in!!!
