The Picked Onion – Renton
Walking into The Picked Onion feels a bit like stumbling into an old fraternity house reunion you weren’t invited to—but somehow still got a drink at. There’s a definite good-ole-boy vibe humming in the background, the kind that smells faintly of nostalgia, entitlement, and bar stools that have heard decades of opinions no one asked for.
The owner gives off a slightly elitist energy—like you should already know how things work here before you walk in. It’s not hostile, just… noticeable. If confidence were a seasoning, this place would be generously salted.
That said, I couldn’t stop laughing at the video game golf tournament situation. Truly. Watching grown men take digital golf very seriously while perched in a bar with drinks in hand was peak Renton absurdity, and honestly? Kind of iconic. I don’t know if it’s meant to be ironic or sincere, but it was unintentionally entertaining in the best way.
This isn’t a place trying to be trendy or reinvent itself—and it definitely isn’t trying to impress you. For better or worse, it knows exactly what it is. If you’re into quirky local color, people-watching, and a vibe that feels frozen in time (with a joystick), you’ll probably get a kick out of it.
Come curious. Stay amused. Bring a sense of humor—and maybe a visor. ⛳️

It’s one of those bars that chooses to play country music by default when no one pays to play something else. I’ve been coming here for years but giving it a maximum of 2 stars for practicing this scummy behavior. Food is great. Service is almost as good as the food. Atmosphere gets a big fat F.

It’s a hole in the wall pub – we go there on regular basis for Tuesday Steak Night ($12.99)! Service may be slow, but it’s a low-key local hangout and you’ll forget about time in the good company

The best local bar I’ve ever frequented in my life! Bar staff and owner are friendly and take care of you. As a woman, I normally feel very safe here because of the staff, even when I first started going here by myself.
The afternoon/dinner crowd is typically a solid group of regulars who laugh and smile and joke around. Most people are very welcoming and look out for each other if someone gets belligerent. Mostly it’s an older crowd (35+ I’m guessing), but I see younger people welcomed as well. I actually ended up meeting two of my favorite people in the world here 🙂 Though I should preface I’m not typically here very late and acknowledge the late night crowd may be different. I read a review saying the older women that frequent here are garbage but I couldn’t disagree more based on my experiences.
There’s 4 dart boards with plenty of space to shoot ($1/person), 2 pool tables ($0.75), and every seat has a good view of a television to watch the games without there being wall to wall television sets like some sports bars. There’s also pull tabs, a claw machine, Golden Tee Golf cabinet, Galaga arcade cabinet, ATM and change machine. Makes the vibe feel pretty chill.
Although I was skeptical of eating here initially (homemade food and dive bar were not concepts I had experienced together), everything I’ve tried is amazing. The daily specials are all on point and available til 10pm. Only exception is the Tues steak special which starts at 5pm – completely fair since the steak and loaded potato are huge!
To the reviews on wait time for food – it tends to depend on how busy they are. If you walk in and it’s packed, you might ask the bar staff an approximate wait time or how many orders are before you. There’s only one cook so if everyone is ordering food (most common on Tuesday steak night and Wednesday night trivia) there will be a long wait. There’s also only one bar staff the majority of the time and they have to literally walk the orders back to the kitchen so, again, if it’s unusually packed, have some understanding.
Also a huge thank you to the owner for his support for our community. He let us host a knit-a-thon to raise money for food charities. He also lets people use the space to celebrate special occasions. The long bar tables make it easy to accommodate small groups of people.

Went there with some friends. On trivia night (wed). The food was a slow but they warned me ahead of time and ot was fun. Not too loud or serious. The guy who ran ot was cool and funny.

Its your typical neighborhood bar with good eats, and you actually get to know the owner, and the staff knows your name. Cliché, but its great when its your own home pub. Thanks Pickled Onion!

Been here a handful of times, and it’s a step up from a dive bar. Cheap drinks especially during happy hour (3-6 pm). Received good service from Kelsey and others. I’ve tried the cuban, tots, boneless wings, tacos, and crispy chicken salad and they are all pretty solid for bar food. Pool tables, pull tabs, and always a game showing on TV. Clean place and laid-back vibe.

Good beers and good food. Definately worth stopping in. They also have pull tabs if you are up for a little risk vs reward. Friendly staff as well.

Terrible place. And it stinks like mildew. Ordered via phone for pick up because my mother was sick and we couldn’t go in. Get there to pick up and the prices from the website were completely different. I let the man at the bar know that’s not what the total should be. He told me he has no control over what their website says and I need to pay what he says (which was $20 more than what it should have been). While I understand he doesn’t run the website, you need to honor what it says. He said he wouldn’t. So I walked out. He yelled at me to never come back (like I ever would lol, stupid) what’s better? Honoring the price on the website or having to throw the food away?
