This bar is a festering boil on the ass of Lynnwood.
Got dragged here for a birthday party, and wow. This place has got to be the most unappealing bar that I've ever been in. Sure, there are activities galore, and they do have a skeeball table. They also have karaoke, which I love normally. But the people and the service were just... blech!
I've been to this deplorable nightmare of a bar a couple times before, back when it was "Daverthumps". You can put lipstick on a pig and change the name and get rid of the pirate decor, but it's still a pig. A gross, skeezy, greasy pig. The bathrooms were disgusting and the food was poor, even by bad dive bar standards.
The icing on the cake? THEY CHARGE 14 DOLLARS FOR A DOUBLE 7&7?! Where do you get off!? In the words of my friend: "There should be a grand total of 0 things that cost 14 dollars at Pub 44". You are not a club, and there's no reason to charge that much for a lower shelf whiskey drink. Luckily, it was reasonably strong.
I was finally able to escape, but then we had to wait FIFTEEN MINUTES to close out our tab. a $40 tab for three mac and jacks and a double 7&7. Seriously?? No. No way. That is ridiculous.
You just can't pay me to come back! Never ever ever ever. BLECH!
Good food , great staff .The pirate theme is gone and the place has new owners . They do ID at the door and are picky about out of state ID's but lots of bars are these days. The karaoke is good ,a bit loud but if you don't like it you can leave and go across the street to that dive or the one across the parking lot.
Review Source:This place just lost the business of 10 people because they stopped taking out of state id's and we had people up from Oregon. The wait staff was rude and there was no one there but that stupid rule just lost them another 10 patrons and they will never see anyone that I can talk to again. Good job pub 44. Hope business.... Never mind. I hope your business goes down. Everyone who goes there should go to Celtic bayou.
Review Source:I really like this place, the bartenders are really nice!!
Everyone that works here is friendly, alert, and attentive! The food is really good. They have nice portions and a well thought out menu so everything is perfect "drinking" food :) I love the burgers! They have pool tables which is nice. It's got a nice open area everywhere in the whole place which makes it much more comfortable feeling for a group.
I would defiantly recommend this place to a friend, It's a cute pub.
This is Daverthumps renamed to try and make people forget what a crap hole this place is.
This is my review of Daverthumps - "Ah the pirate bar. This place SUCKS! Yes....they have beer so that alone gives them two stars. Every time I have been in there they have this moron doing karaoke and it is SO freaking loud you cannot even hear your brain explode from the lameness. Most karaoke DJs just let it chill if no one is going up to sing....not this guy. Oh no....he subjects you to his horrible rendition of Bon Jovi or something every 10 minutes or so. It's like getting kicked in the crotch for your ears."
Bottom line.....you can polish a turd....but in the end, you still have crap on your hands.
Moved to Lynnwood in Sept, 2012 and was just looking for some new, chill bars to go to. Went to Pub 44 one day and apparently it was '80s night. This definitely is a dive type bar. Some sort of nautical-like theme. Definitely outdated decorations, etc. Looked like they had drinks special, and a normal bar food menu. There were darts, pool tables, kareoke, bar counter, tables, etc. I was actually impressed that they had some servers walking around to take your drink orders. That's kind of nice so that you don't have to go up to the bar and stand in line, and then lose your seat. I'm not sure if it was busy because of 80s night, but I found it difficult to find a table for 4. A couple of us had to stand. Which is fine, but we were planning to hang out for a while, and this just makes for awkward conversation. Overall, if you are going for a laid back, cheaper drink, this is a place to go.
Review Source:Got a hankerin' for some karaoke, beer pong, darts, loud music, decently priced drinks, and some pool with a random stranger? This place is for you.
Pub 44 replaces an old, scary looking dive I never wanted to go to. There is a wide array of people, but if you come often you'll start noticing the regulars. Remember, it's still a dive in the heart of Lynnwood... random people will come up and chat, but many are harmless.
I can't attest to the food or the pool playing, since I usually come for others to play, but it's a nice place to people watch if loud, blaring music isn't bothersome to you.
They have karaoke night very often if you're into that.
This bar will always ID at the door (so don't forget!) and be careful around closing time (LPD can usually be spotted across the parking lot).
This is a dive bar in Lynnwood and lives up to the reputation. Cool and laid back enough to make anyone feel comfortable. The food might give you some indigestion (bring Tums), but it is the pub food I am normally looking for. I can't put my finger on it, but I keep finding myself going back.
Review Source:It must have been a pretty off night, because I was told it's a DUI hotspot. There were quite a few cop cars circling outside, but nothing bad happened.
We showed up for karaoke, and we actually managed to get quite a few songs in (unlike most karaoke places). The selection was ok, could've been better. I found enough that I could do and had my friends play back-up dancers when I belted out "Say You'll Be There" by the Spice Girls.
The food selection was pretty limited, and it was made very clear that there are no substitutions. :o( The service was mediocre as I sat for long periods of time with an empty glass.
Oh well, not the the best but not the worst.
