    King's is a dive bar of the highest order. Case in point: they have skee-ball, Big Buck Hunter, a very large but dimly lit dining room, Montucky cold snacks, and Twisted Tea in BOTTLES. 'Nuff said. But actually it's not enough, because I need to let you in on a little secret: King's has hands down the best buffalo wings in Seattle. At least I have yet to find better ones, or even any that really come close. They are modest in size, not from some 'roided out mutant bird, perfectly crispy yet tender, and tossed in a superb classic buffalo sauce. If you are a fan of wings, do NOT sleep on these. In fact, all of their bar food is excellent. Their chicken tenders are also some of the best in town, their tavern burgers are basic but wonderful and priced reasonably, and they have curly fries which, in case you didn't know, are an optimal form of potato. I love you King's, please keep on doin' it right.

    After a night out hitting trivia and grabbing some brews, we were looking for a spot open late night. King's Hardware is what I'd consider a nicer dive bar. It has a fun feel. There's space inside where the bar is, but they also have a great outdoor area that's perfect for a Seattle summer!

    Good dive bar with very good looking food - we didn't get any. N/A options which is also nice. Looks like a good spot during the summer with an outdoor area.

    I like the patio area a lot, burgers and tots are yummy as far as bar food goes (we got the pb burger and wings). And of course lots of drinks to choose from. You don't have to compete to get the staff's attention while still having a fun atmosphere. Perfect sweet spot!
