Exactly what a neighborhood tavern should be — cheap cold beer, friendly bartenders, and pull tabs. No attitude, no $16 cocktails. The Poggie never changes and that's the whole point.
A real dive, done right
An old-school dive on California Ave SW — ice-cold beer and wine, made-to-order pizza, frozen slushies, pull tabs, pool, and karaoke on Tuesdays. What you see is what you get, and the regulars like it that way.

Walked in a stranger, left with three new friends and a pool partner. West Seattle has gotten fancy but this place still feels like the real deal.
Grabbed a slushie and a made-to-order pizza and stayed way too late for karaoke. Fun, unpretentious, and easy on the wallet. My go-to Junction spot.
No reservations and no cover — just walk in. The kitchen makes pizza to order until late.
Tap a star — it takes ten seconds and helps us so much.
