Mel's Old Village Pub

My favorite bar in Lynnwood.  Good and reasonably priced food and beer, incuding Lynnwood's Big E.  Friendly and efficient service, including Mel, who took over and turned the place around in 2009.  Good live music several nights a week. See the "Everett Rock" site for the schedule.  An expansion in March of 2012 allowed for a nice stage and good sized dance floor.

Many of the patrons here form a strong community, partly because many are motorcycle enthusiasts.  They dedicated a weekend in 2013 to raise funds to help a friend with medical expenses, including a bike rally, auction, raffle and several bands, all day Sunday.  Emoryfest  was a huge success.

HOLY COW.

I was here years ago... and the place was kinda.... scary.

Now it's had a make over and it's a pretty cool spot. Definitely a diverse crowd, which is cool with me. Food was good and had pretty standard beers on tap. Prices average.

Service speed could be better... not that our server was bad... just that, I think she was the only one! Yikes.

I was invited out Mel's Old Village Pub by a group of friends and decided I would stop in and stay for an hour or so, but after arriving, I ended up staying until 1a.m. I had a great time!
I went on a Friday night and  a live band called Essex Junction was playing country music. We ended up staying and dancing for much of the night. The band had a great sound and the crowd seemed to be enjoying themselves dancing, playing pool and just hanging out.
I don't know how often they have a live band but the place also has at least 3 large televisions so I can imagine on game nights the place is a great hang out spot to go and watch the game.
There is a large bar you can belly up to, or you can settle at the fireside table which looked pretty cozy, but we sat up near the band and dance floor
I didn't order food but next time I will enter hungry and try out their menu--they looked like they had a full kitchen but I am not sure on that one.
Give it a try--
