Moe Bar

Great place. Premium snacks. Andy King is probably the best bartender in Seattle. Had our drinks ready before we even… were here at all. Excellent service, top notch banter and he even wore a matching shirt to the band he was playing. Like a shirt to match the music, so great.

Horrible service. Security also is extraordinarily rude and condescending. HIGHLY recommend you avoid this bar.

Horrible service, weak drinks, rude/​unhappy/​oblivious staff. Do yourself a favor and go to any other bar except this one.

You know exactly who you are. And since I unloaded a series of fuck yous on your face, before tipping my bartender 20% and scarpering out of your mediocre-​at-​best establishment, you probably know exactly who I am too.
You’re a «cool» (aka spent too much time in the bar scene) white male progressive bar manager with stringy hair, who’s going to vote for Bernie because he’s «hip». You think it’s entirely hilarious to show the entire debate, waiting for each man to give his closing argument, before deliberately switching to football right as Hillary’s face popped on screen. Every person in the bar yelled at you, you steaming sack of bigoted sexist shit. You knew exactly what you were doing.
I mean, you spent two minutes «pretending» to fumble with the remote, before you changed the channel, and then you spent two more «trying» to change it back.
I wish I hadn’t just finished my beer, because unloading it in your face would have been worth getting 86ed from your bar for eternity.
Obviously I’ll vote for Bernie because I’m a pretentious socialist, but Hillary’s a boss of a woman who has done far greater things than wiping up vomit from your dingy bar’s bathroom. Don’t disrespect you fucker.

Weak drinks!!! At 5’1 I get drunk off 4 ounces of wine for the 3 hours that follow — super cheap date, right? I’ve had 3 drinks in a row at Moe’s and cannot get a buzz. I had to tell the bartender and instead received lots of ‘tude, and was told I needed to order additional shots. If you plan to go there, apparently you’ll have to pre-​funk at your house and only count on keeping your lips moist with the drink you’ll buy that’s mostly ice.
Other than that, great place because there’s all sorts of people. You can avoid the deuchebaggery of the clubs nearby and actually get to know someone interesting at Moe. Then if you feel like dancing you can go downstairs to Barboza. Or you’ve gone to Neumo’s and now want a drink without feeling pressured to dress to the nine’s, again you don’t have to worry about that because Moe’s is great for any crowd.

I’ve waited over 12 hours to do this review. Because I’m less mad.
1) THE DOORMAN.
Not only did he treat me, a medical professional, like a felon. He also acted like one. This man with his blondish locks, somehow mulleting into a waterfall of despair had no reason to not be nice. It was 9ish on a Wednesday. There were no crowds. It appeared COUSIN IT was working the next door as well. While outside I also witnessed him being very rude to a girl about her bicycle for no apparent reason. I’m 38, but he was very rude about asking me to pull my ID out. He was like a prison guard about where to stamp my wrist. This man is a disease to your business and a liability. Get rid of him because every time I see him, I will promise you My friends, or I, will not go to this bar because of the large insect prison guard. He is better suited as a garbage man. It’s called customer service and he does not possess these skills. There was no fight in progress, simply someone who was excited to check out a new bar. You sir suck.
2) The Bar
The bartender was minimum. When I mean minimum he did the bare minimum. He met me promptly (there was no greet) and my drink was served promptly. The décor was very cool, and the music was low quality as far as the source.
There is no sign to a bathroom. Either you begin to enter the dungeon, or you ask-it’s thru the door on the side.
I had waited 3 weeks to check this bar out, I was busy with work, I parked 3 blocks away and I was met with a cancer of your business. Yes. The doorman. He takes away everything positive.
The bartender either needs to find a way to smile and greet people properly, or work raves where everyone is too high to give a shit.
Huge disappointment.

Coming here on a Sunday afternoon is the best, definitely not crowded at all, cheap drinks, quick service and friendly chatter.
We chatted amongst ourselves, with beard-​tastic bartender, watched the playoffs for baseball and just hung out and had a good time.
Atmosphere is relaxed, divey-​ish, decent amount of tables and bar space etc. I believe you can bring in food from next door at Pike Street Fish Fry if you hungry too… and use their outlets to possibly charge your phone.
Anyways, its a nice chill bar on a Sunday and wont hurt your pocket book so much.

Awesome happy hour prices. Horrendous and tragic service. The bartender with his arms covered in tattoos of poor taste, and rocking an NFL ball cap, was quite the douche. He doesn’t know how to connect or smile. And as I’m sitting here he just refused service to customer wanting fries because he is «busy». I felt neglected as a customer and won’t be coming back. Btw. It’s not even busy. They are using the fun of watching people play video games on a tv as a reason to come in. Lameeee. Your desperation is showing.

Great little bar in Cap Hill. It isn’t fancy but it does the trick. They have a full bar, specials and sometimes offer really fun events such as «Republican Debate Bingo” — which is awesome. They serve food from the fish and chips shop next door which is a bonus since they are so darn tasty. It is small so it does get crowded– be warned!

Only been here on the weekends for drinks — its a great capitol hill day drinking spot.
Will try nighttime and then adjust review accordingly.

Gave bartender $ 40. He claims I only gave him $ 25 however I had just gone to the atm so I know i didn’t. Fuck this place. Thief

Not my cup of tea. I am not 20 years old any more, so regretfully I was not impressed by the sweat box with bad music. The college kids seemed to really enjoy it. Broadway has morphed into a college party town since my last visit. On the weekend the streets are flooded with drunk college kids roaring from bar to bar having fun. My husband and I enjoyed the attempt at fitting in. Of all the places we entered that night, Moe bar was the worst. The bar is slow and crowded. Ventilation is scarce, and the music is odd. Think of a disco/​80’s pop/​flower child vibe. On a positive note I did appreciate the modern interior design.

Pretty apathetic bartender. We walked in, he almost seemed bothered to have to serve us, though the bar was not busy.
I ordered an old fashioned and was promptly told that «I can’t make that, I don’t have my bar tools». What???
He poured me a very weak Bourbon and Coke. I drank it and promptly paid and left.
I would not go back.

I usually enjoy the Moe bar and typically come early before a show. They have an excellent happy hour and the fish and chips are great. But unfortunately I had a run in with a very piss poor attitude bartender tonight. Usually there are menus out with a few speciality drinks/​shots. When I asked what type of shots they had since no menus were out, the bartender threw up his hands and replied «all kinds» and then immediately turned to take another girl’s order. Let me mention there was no line and the bar was not extremely busy. He finally came back around and I ordered two lemon drops and a tequila shot. BUT HE POURED TWO TEQUILA SHOTS AND ONE LEMON DROP. I didn’t complain because this guy was already acting like a jerk and I didn’t want to make his life any harder. but then another friend of mine decided she wanted a lemon drop as well. He rolled his eyes and made a huge sigh and begrudgingly made another lemon drop.
Honestly, I’ve never encountered such a terribly negative bartender and I’m sad to say that it will make me think twice before visiting again.

yo, why this place ain’t jammin’ on a sunday tho? drinks is crazy cheap! dude behind the counter with the big ol’ beard was pretty chill. it’s dark and stuffy in here but nothing a couple of $ 2 PBRs can’t rectify. i’ve been here twice but i think this is the first time i been on a sunday. good lookin’ willy and roxy for suggesting this. i’m gonna hafta come here on sundays when pockets are strugglin’ and i need an ice cold beverage of the alcohol kind

It’s hit or miss here… bar staff can be really nice or hateful. Again hit or miss. Tonight they rocked! Drinks are watered down and expensive. Monday nights are the best nights. only reason is not getting a 1 star tonight. Bathroom at like a rest stop… NASTY

I ate some fish and chips and got drunk on the cheap during HH = Yes!
Came in with a big group. The only drawback was that we didn’t really fit on any of the booths. We ended up in the back of the bar in a booth and ended up grabbing chairs from other tables to accomodate everyone.
HH drinks were great (except the Skittles shots, blech, those were gross, don’t do it). Did a lot of shots (jello shots are stronger than you’d think, whew) and had a bunch of cider. Service was awesome. No issues there. Would return, maybe in a smaller group.

My happy hour app led me here on a Saturday with a promise of $ 3 wells and food specials. I was skeptical, so I asked the bartender to confirm. «My app says you have $ 3 wells?» I asked, to which he answered «Since it is the weekend they are $ 2.» They also have half sandwiches and fries for $ 2, which looked surprisingly filling (since I am having dinner with a friend I did not order food, but will be back!) The bartender seems nice, great ambiance, and music. I am a concierge at the Arctic Club and have vote for Moe Bar for best happy hour!
PS– This used to be Aerospace back in ’98.

Definitely a fan of this place, maybe appears to be a dive bar but I think it has a fun personality and the service is really great. Happy Hour here is absolutely RIDICULOUS! A must visit if you want to grab a good drink (Skittles Shot is legit!)
and a snack during HH. I will definitely be visiting Moe’s again the next time I am in Capitol Hill.

The happy hour here is
.liev.able.
2 dollar wells. 4 dollar sandwiches. Two people got drunk and full for 20 dollars before tip!
I always have passed this place by because I thought it’d be too busy or too expensive for the likes of me, but was pleasantly surprised at how easily we found seating during their happy hour time.
The bartender was great and really attentive, we didn’t have to go up there repeatedly to get drinks, which I appreciated.

Pros: different feel than other hipster watering holes nearbye… reasonable service and can be fun if you’re in the right mood for a roofie bar (my term for places that attract the jäger bomb/​sorrostitution crowd).
Cons: my size 14 shoebox is actually bigger than moe bar. Either my doc martin’s need to get a liquor lincense or this place needs to knock down a wall or two to accommodate it’s max occupancy of 4 metric hobbits.
