#635 - The Ballard Loft (Seattle) - 5/2/2008


Update: The Ballard Loft closed April 9, 2019.

I don't know what went wrong here. The bartenders are cool, the space is nice, the drinks are good. But the patrons are awful -- backwards baseball cap wearing frat boys and other assorted airheads. I still love Ballard, but this place is not a good omen.

Est. Jan 11, 2008 - Closed April 9, 2019 - Building constructed: 1900 or earlier
