This place is under new management recently, but I wasn't there for the old management so I can't personally do any comparisons.
I can tell you that it's a lively "divey" bar that happens to be a lot of fun. Â They've got a bunch of horseshoe pits out back on the porch, and since it's closed in you can take your drink with you. Â Perfect for those nicer days we'll hopefully have this summer!
I believe there's a bar out in the back as well but I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone operating it. Â I plan to go back here a bit.
I recently visited my brother up in Mill Creek for a "Sunday Funday." Â The plan was to hangout and grab some food and drinks. Â Since neither of us had a preference as to where to get our grub and drink on, I suggested we head over to Bert's Tavern to grab a drink since I had heard good things about it. I'm very glad that we did!
We sat in the bar and were served some strong rum and cokes and some 24 oz. budlights. Â I believe we were able to pay for all of these drinks for about 15 dollars....excellent value!
We were starting to get hungry and the bartender recommended that we check out their 2 dollar burger special and that there was a guy outside on the patio grilling the burgers. Â The burgers were delicious and everyone there was friendly and having a good time.
I'm looking forward to coming back to this place!
Berts is my watering hole...something special about being considered a "regular" by the regulars. This is the bar responsible for making me a horseshoe junkie and for making a ton of new friends. If you're looking for a relaxed environment, stiff cheap drinks, a little entertainment and not having to dress up for it, Berts is the place for you.
Review Source:Bert's is awesome and anyone who disagrees should be slapped. The pour killer stiff drinks, the bartenders are all great, and the regulars are REALLY entertaining. They have an awesome horseshoe pit, and one of the best outdoor smoking/patio areas around, with plenty of propane heaters for the cold days.
The owner, Bruce, is usually at the bar hanging out and he is really friendly. If he notices someone he hasn't seen before, he will typically come over to introduce himself and make sure you are having a good time.
My personal favorite thing about Bert's is that you can bring dogs in anytime other than Friday/Saturday nights after 7pm (They are worried about dogs getting stepped on when it gets crowded). They fenced in horseshoe pit area below the patio is a great place to let the dogs play while the owners get to enjoy a stiff drink.
My friends all refer to it as drinking on a budget when we come to Bert's because if you spend more than $25 bucks a person, you're probably hammered.
Classic neighborhood watering hole where everybody knows your name. Â The pours are deep, the bar keeper is attentive and the patrons are friendly. Â They have a large outdoor seating area. Â The decor is nothing special but you will feel like family after spending a couple of hours here.
Review Source:Dudes...this is *not* a dive. This is "neighborhood watering hole". Let's just get that straight right now. Really...
The details: strong pour, daily specials/fun things, microwave popcorn in big buckets on the bar, and a huge age gap between regulars. Like 50+ and 35- , nice and helpful staff, darts, etc.
But it's the experience as a whole that makes a place, right? So here's mine.
Sitting enjoying time with a good friend, Michael, catching up and fighting both the monsoon weather and my crackhead phone to catch up w/ Betsy and Bert (not his bar, btw ;) )
As we're talking, 50+ old guy from bar comes walking over, and winks at me from behind Michael. uhm, ok. Then proceeds to set his drink on our little bar table, lean in on his elbows and say:
"So are we talking marriage yet?"
(my thought bubble, uh, w?) "No, why would we be doing that?"
grasps my hand into both of his, looks in my eyes and says: "Love is in the air, can't you feel it?"
(uh...wtf is he crazy?)
"I've been watching you two, and the sexual electricity between you two is palpable"
(Double thought bubble: OMG he means US??? michael and i?)
hahahaha, uh..no we're just good friends. No, really we're just friends.
Guy proceeds to introduce himself as owner of the bar, his 'talent' for reading people, pushes a bit more to get us to admit our love, and "sexual electricity", Â then finally,
"Well, if you two change your mind, I am the owner, so I have the keys to the upstairs room. *wink*"
So, apparently, my "having a great relaxed time catching up with an old good friend" face and body language is the same as "madly in love" on other people. That sure explains a lot of misconceptions and assumptions I've encountered before.
And, i guess I put out enough 'sexual electricity" so far outside my own aura, I can make a gay man appear straight... Â That's probably a marketable skill somewhere....
I heart Bert's. Â I moved to Bothell 5 years ago and I used to drive by Bert's and think, you're so cute, I'm going to stop by...and then I asked my new friend/tour guide to take me there, to which she replied, if you're sure. Â So we went, at that time they had different owners, and this place was tavern. Â We got our beer in a can!!! Â In a can!! Â And, one night, some drunk guy whipped out his penis and wanted me to look at it - Me: Can you put that back?? Â Thanks.
Well, they have new owners, but it's still lively and fun and homey and cheap! Â Plus, something funny always happens at Bert's, guaranteed.
