Great spot i like the staff, food and drinks are on point. Love that the Muppets are on the TV and not sport. Amazing grilled cheese!

Really want to love this bar but I've giving it at least six times and I've been encountering the grumpy, unfriendly bartender each timeI'm tired of that experience

Order the grilled cheese. It is absolutely incredible. Atmosphere is incredible. Staff are super friendly.

It's not cheap, but the food is great. As a venue it's pretty small, but it sounds awesome. Though it can be a little wall-of-noise. Great atmosphere, and the arcade & pinball games are super fun.

Great! Atmosphere and music pure punk scene look. Excellent choices on beers and liquor. Came from Arizona to explore bars/restaurants. Big plus The Kraken.

Great place! Very cool eclectic atmosphere and cool eclectic music. Beautiful women at this bar.

I'm sure the bar and pinball is ok. But the main bartender here is horrible, extremely disrespectful and filled with nonsense. He makes the place look bad.

I don’t need your punk of a door guy telling me to get my covid booster shot. Won’t ever be returning. Don’t need your medical advice.

Intimate bar with above the grade food AND pinball! Goodtimes, great food, stiff drinks, and great staff!

I would of loved to check them out but they don’t allow COVID-19 test. They said it was because they have concerts. I was going to Alaska airlines arena that holds a little more than your little venue. Until things are better Kraken!
