Dino's Pub in Renton, Washington, is a hidden gem that delivers an unforgettable experience, blending a vibrant sports bar atmosphere with exceptional food, friendly service, and an exhilarating pull tab scene that keeps you coming back for more. Nestled conveniently off the 405, this local favorite has mastered the art of creating a welcoming, high-energy environment that feels like a second home.
The moment you step into Dino's, you're greeted by the buzz of excitement, with 17 high-definition TVs broadcasting every major game, pool tables clinking in the background, and a cozy patio adorned with bistro lights. But what truly sets Dino's apart is its impressive pull tab selection—a thrilling highlight that adds a unique spark to the pub experience. With a wide variety of pull tabs, ranging in price from just 25¢ to $5.00 and offering payouts from $25 up to a jaw-dropping $5,000, the pull tab bar is a magnet for both casual players and seasoned enthusiasts. The anticipation of peeling back each tab, paired with the chance for big wins, creates an electric vibe that perfectly complements the pub’s lively spirit.
On my recent visit, I couldn’t resist diving into the pull tab action, and it was an absolute blast! The staff, including the ever-attentive Lindsey and the charming bartender Alicia “Alley Cat” (aka Katness Everdeen) – all under the watchful eye of Vanessa, made the experience even better by explaining the different bowls and special options like the “IN-TILL-YOU-WIN” game, which keeps the top prize in play until someone claims it. Their enthusiasm was contagious, and they ensured my drink was always topped off while I tried my luck. I walked away with a small win, which only added to the thrill of the night!
Beyond the pull tabs, Dino’s delivers on every front. The food menu is a standout, with mouthwatering dishes like the perfectly charred Kobe burger and the Friday prime rib special that melts in your mouth. The beer selection is top-notch, featuring local craft brews and crisp drafts that pair perfectly with the pub’s hearty fare. The service is consistently outstanding, making every visit feel personal and warm. The atmosphere, packed with locals and visitors alike, is electric yet cozy, especially during Seahawks games when the place erupts with cheers.
Dino’s Pub is more than just a sports bar; it’s a destination where great food, fantastic service, and the thrill of pull tabs create a winning combination. Whether you’re there to catch a game, savor a juicy burger, (try the new smash burger!) or try your luck with a pull tab, Dino’s delivers an experience that’s hard to beat. I’m already looking forward to my next visit—this place is a must for anyone seeking fun, flavor, and a chance to...
Read moreUpdating review one year later on 8/9/2025 Google won't let you write a second review so adding this to my review from last year. Keeping stars high so it doesn't affect the staff that we love, otherwise it would be a ONE! Just got home at 10:30pm on Sat night because Karaoke sucked so BAD we had to leave. We honestly felt like we were getting punked it was SOOO ear piercing horrible. There was a huge table of people who were together who prided themselves on singing songs NO ONE has ever heard of, I listen to all genres and these were some crazy obscure shit songs no one sang along to. It was so loud I had to literally but my fingers in my ears for an entire song. My apologies to the normal karaoke people who very rarely got to chime in with a mainstream song. Isn't it the DJs job to keep the song choices on point and to level the volume out? It was the worst karaoke I have EVER witnessed, we will NEVER EVER EVER go to Dinos on a Sat Night again. The staff should get hazardous duty pay for having to work on Saturday nights. Our server said she often loses tables because the music is so loud and the DJ lets people sing any crap they want. Fridays good! Saturdays Bad!

We have been going to Dino's for over 20 years, overall this is one of our favorite local places. The staff is excellent, they are all very friendly and they never eye roll when I need two ranch dips for my fries. About a year ago they took my favorite item off the menu, broasted chicken and jo jos, I was sad but I got over it and we continued to go often. Around the same time that they added brussel spouts to the menu the wine pour seemed much lighter than before as the prices went up. Okay, costs have gone up, I get it; disappointing but still we come often. Then this week at dinner I ordered a Chardonnay, the better one which is Kendal Jackson that retails for $11 at QFC. It barely covered the bottom of my glass, I thought maybe they dusted off a bottle so I didn't say anything. I ordered another one and got the same pour. I asked my server what was going on and she told me that they are now required to do 6 oz pours. Seriously, what is going on? This is Dino's they have had good drinks for 20 years. We sat there listening to a horrible sound system blasting music trivia and it hit me that the Dino's we have loved is gone. I am still giving them a decent rating because we love the staff but management, you have gotten too full of yourself. It seems to always be busy so guessing you won't miss our business but we are going to be trying...
Read moreI am a Renton local, I’ve been to all the sports bars around town. Dinos’s Pub is honestly the best one around. Everything is great, from the food, the ambiance, and the wonderful staff. Dinos is located perfectly right off 405 so it’s really easy to access. There usually is plenty of parking, if not you can always park in the upper lot or even across the street by the McDonald’s and Starbucks. The food here is amazing, if I can I would come here for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The head chef Fabian is amazing and does a great job keeping the kitchen together. I have never had to send anything back to the kitchen. I really enjoy the cocktails here, they are always made perfectly. One of the bartenders Jacob does an amazing job with the drinks, he is also such a gentleman with everyone.
