Don't waste your time or Indie Indie Hipper than Thou by clevergirl79 on 1/21/2010 via Citysearch
Been in twice over the last several months, first time couldn't even get noticed by the bartender who actively ignored my group despite the fact the place was more than half empty. Yesterday was just another example of the negative vibe…

crazy bartender by monkey03 on 10/14/2008 via Citysearch
regarding angelsurta's post, i am a regular at the lava lounge and i would have assumed that she was overreacting if i hadn't seen the whole thing happen. I have never seen this kind of confrontation between a bartender and a customer, and…

Regular for over 13 years! by michaelseattle on 9/9/2008 via Citysearch
I have been coming to this bar for over 13 years regularly. It's just a few doors down from work so often later at night. Love the bar staff, friendly crowd, pet friendly, HOEGAARDEN on tap, & that crazy-ass DJ Jerry! I am and allways…

Good Drinks!! by yuppieesuck on 2/24/2008 via Citysearch
I've been going to the Lava Lounge for about 2yrs now and I like it. The bartenders are all pretty AWESOME and the drinks are reasonably priced for Bell Town. I do believe I like going there more during the day and early night before all…

PAC MAN TABLE by betty97 on 10/30/2006 via Citysearch
Great place if you are in the mood to booze and play games - watch out for bad music though. One of our late nights there the bartender tried to kick everyone out by playing old sesame street songs - too bad we were drunk enough to enjoy…

Fun and funky dive by terylh on 8/29/2006 via Citysearch
Yeah, its crowded and sometimes its hard to find a place to sit but they do make good drinks that are reasonably priced. Plus they have shuffle-board! I think that its a fun place to hang out and if you don't like it then you can go 25…

Angelsutra is out of her mind. by spacemod on 7/30/2006 via Citysearch
When you are too drunk and acting like an a**hole and you are asked to leave the bar, please just leave.

loud crowd, rude bar by egrrl21 on 7/6/2006 via Citysearch
I've tried to like this place, as one of the last "dives" in Belltown, but can't do it...the jukebox is lame, the crowd is pretty rude, and it is impossible to get a drink. There are so many other places to go, so I do. I would recommend…

Lava Lounge is a great place to meet friends in Belltown by Ben S. on 5/8/2006 via Judy's Book
These days my wife and I don't get out of the house much on weekends. Busy being parents and all that. Recently, my wife was kind enough to allow me to meet a couple of friends for a beer and a show (Destroyer) at the Crocodile Cafe. We…

cheap drinks by Melanie Z on 10/29/2005 via Insider Pages
If you are looking for a cheap, great quality drink in a fun not to crazy atmosphere, definatly check out the lava lounge in Seattle... you are sure to be a repeat customer! PROS: cheap and great drinks CONS: not the "hot spot" to be

Has great characters, happy staff, and cheap drink specials. by Sara G on 7/14/2005 via Insider Pages
I was here recently for a bridal shower of all things, even though this is a sort of dive bar, it was so fun! It has a sort of tiki-tropical theme in regards to it's decoration. But it also has the dirty dark bar feel that I love. Mrs.…

Interesting Place by Kathleen A. on 6/16/2005 via Judy's Book
You don't have to be young to enjoy the Lava Lounge in Belltown. It's not about the Lava lamps (I'm a 60's and 70's person), its the fun of it, the interesting people and great drinks and snacks.

Smoky by Desiree H on 5/24/2005 via Insider Pages
This place carries a great beer called the Troll Porter, it is brewed locally in Freemont. The pitcher's are a good price, and this is an excellent place to chill. Very smoky all the time though, the staff is nice.

It's got lava lamps by Lee A on 3/29/2005 via Insider Pages
As the name implies, its got lava lamps that will really bring you back to the 60's and 70s. The atmosphere is great. Bell town can be a lot of fun and so can this quaint bar.

Nowhere to sit by jojo989 on 11/12/2002 via Citysearch
Everytime I've gone to the Lava Lounge I've never been able to find a place to sit. Occasionally I can get a stool at the bar, but prefer a table when I'm with friends. There's never a table available!
