Best wings near campus

Been coming here since I was a freshman at UW. The buffalo wings are still the best in Ravenna, and the pitchers are cheap enough for a student budget. Total dive bar, in the best way.

Dog-friendly and welcoming

Brought my dog in on a Tuesday afternoon and the bartender had a water bowl out before we even sat down. Great burger, great pool table, zero attitude.

Historic and still going strong

This place has been here since the 30s and you can feel it — the wood, the jukebox, the Husky memorabilia everywhere. Pizza's better than it has any right to be for a dive bar.
