13th Ave Pub & Eatery — Restaurant in Washington

Karaoke for me! I've gone to the 13th Ave off & on for 15yrs(?) now. I go there to see one of my Most FAVORITE People when she Hosts Karaoke... Jonelle Pitts, I affectionately call her "My Nellers". Her lovely wife 💕Diane is her #1 Fan. They call me Mama June. The owners are still having their busy bartenders use an Archaic 'Progressive Sales Tactic (and I don't mean bowls of free, salty snacks placed where many dirty fingers can eat from😝). But once a patron gets to the head of the line, orders a cocktail, the bartender must ask, "Would you like to make that a DOUBLE?!" Now, I'm not a prude but this establishment caters to a (often) young crowd and I know when I was young (yeah yeah! Dinosaurs roamed the earth) I wudn't pass it up. And they 'free pour'! I digress. Nellers can keep the crowd hoppin', poppin' & lockin'. I know She & the other singers wud have alot more fun if the bar Mgt team wud put all their spare chairs & boxes in a storage room instead of taking up most of the stage then turn on some overhead lights so all singers can be seen & heard....Wait! These are all hard working employee doing a sometimes 'Thankless Job'. So remember what the word TIPS stands for; "To Insure Proper Service". Or in My Nellers case; 'To Insure Proper Song'. So unless y'all wanna be singing "WALKS LIKE A MAN! TALKS LIKE A MAN!" then give what you get! Have fun! And take a LYFT or UBER! Home! Be...

Edited. Originally 2 stars with no comment on accident. Must have been a typo. I have only been here once, the bartender was quick and efficient and answered my questions. I would say, I'd like to see more variety in the liquor selection, but I understand this establishment is a pub, and not a fancy shcmancy cocktail bar and the owner/manager might think the bottles won't move, but there's so many great local distilleries with great Gins and Whiskies, Temple Distilling for one, letterpress, craterlake, Heritage, Noble Oak.

Also, I was alone, wearing jeans and a hoodie. One guy at the bar kept eyeing me in a flirtatious manner which I was not reciprocating. Then on my way out, another guy at a table near the door nodded at me so I said "hi" and he asked "are you working?" Not like "are you my waitress" but as if I was a girl of the night! I am an average looking human wearing the most average of clothing. I understand the bar cannot control that behavior, but that certainly made me feel a bit creeped out. As a woman drinking alone this was kinda a red flag. If I go back and there's another creepy dude eyeballing me or asking me if I'm 'working' then I'll probably steer clear after that. 5 stars because I liked the place, the bartender, and will go back when things open back up. Restaurants are hurting so bad right now and I feel for a place like this. We need to support...

I took a crowd of people, we were an older group, we weren't a bunch of twenty somethings, except for 2 people, who were our drivers. I had gone in on Wednesday to let the bar know ahead of time, that I would be bringing in a big crowd for an hour on Saturday. It was my birthday and we were doing a version of a poker run. We had only been to 2 other places before 13th. We came in loud, as it was a celebration. Apparently you cannot appear to be having fun in this place, as they wouldn't serve most of us. Shawn, WHO HAD NO INTERACTION WITH US WHATSOEVER, made this call! NOONE was intoxicated, as the most anyone had, had to drink was no more than 2 drinks a piece when we arrived!!! One of my group uses a cane to walk, as she is 70 with bad hips. One of my guests speak with a little slur, due to a recent stroke. This is bad bad service and we are telling everyone that we can about how we were treated. Shawn then had the nerve to call the next bar that we were going to, to tell them not to serve us!!!!! Wow! , luckily, I am a regular at that next bar, and they knew better. But everyone at that bar, knew how 13th treated us by the time we left! Everyone in my group will be leaving a review similar to this one. Don't go here, if it's fun you're...
