Elmers And Lounge - Burien

Good neighborhood place to listen to live music. They have standard bar food but don't expect much for gluten allergic persons, lots of beer choices on tap. Mostly a middle aged and above crowd and the bands usually play old school rock and roll. There is a dance floor which gets utilized, and a bench outside for smokers

We came for the music and loved the crowd. Lots of titanium in the crowd, as my husband says but they could tear up a dance floor. I could tell many were regulars and it had a good old boy vibe.

BLUES JAM TUESDAY NIGHTS! If you sing, play, or love the blues, you will want to drop by Elmer's on a Tuesday night! I arrived early and signed up on the list, being the first one on it. The band performed an opening set before inviting the signed-up jammers to join. Guests musicians mixed and matched with the house band and other jammers throughout the night. The venue is a typical dive bar with burgers and appetizers. I had already eaten dinner, so I only had a few beers while waiting to play. The wait staff was friendly, and when there was a mix-up with my beer order, the waitress made it right by giving me a small pitcher. When it was my turn to play, I jammed on my harmonica with another guitarist who also sang. We did a couple of songs before I decided to call it a night. Although I didn't try the food, my experience was enjoyable and reminiscent of jamming in Los Angeles. I may provide a more detailed review after sampling the food, but for now, I give Elmer's five stars. If you found my review helpful or entertaining, feel free to like it or add me as a friend for more reviews in the Seattle area and beyond. Enjoy!

Jeez, what did they do to this place? The walls are empty, the music is awful pop-country (and no point in putting my hard earned bucks in the jukebox, because it's barely audible), the pinball machines are gone, and it's lit like a dentist office. I guess they're trying to not be a dive bar, but that's what they did best! Service is good, food is fine, drinks are alright. (McCormick for a well bourbon though? C'mon, folks get with the times, and put Evan Williams on the rail) Make Elmers Great Again!! Put some junk up on the wall, paint it a dark color, and switch to lights that are no more than 3500k in color temp, dim them a little, turn the music up!
