    I have loved this bar for such a long time but when I moved away to higher elevation, walking home from a fav neighborhood bar wasn't feasible. But I digress! This place is awesome. I have met such cool people here over the years. I've celebrated events; birthdays; and showed up just to hang out with that sweet magician dude (RIP). These days, Twilight is still keeping it real. Today I had a very nice conversation with some gentlemen at the bar. Unfortunately they didn't appear to be single.

    However! I am certainly going to re-add Twilight to my favorite bar list and most because Erica is an amazing bartender. Whoever is behind the bar always sets the tone and she is a gem at making patrons feel at ease. If owners are reading this, give this lady a raise! Cheers. :)

    I love this dive bar. It fits that description perfectly. Plus they allow your pup to come in, if they're well behaved of course. It's in our neighborhood, so we will be back I'm sure. The Twilight Exit has this gloomy, grungy, PNW bar feel to it. The decor is very eclectic; but it matches and there is consistency so it doesn't feel too messy.

    One things for certain, the food options come out in HUGE portions. I highly recommend sharing with whoever you're with. We ordered the fried chicken wings and the greek fries. The reason I only gave them 4/5 stars is because for fried food, my S.O. and I felt like it was lacking in salt. Needless to say, we added condiments and it was all fine and dandy. The fried chicken wings are full wings - they were not separated. Definitely needed a fork and knife to eat the massive wings. The staff were friendly and did not give us the cold shoulder, which can happen at bars where there is no waiter service. The drink options were not too insane and we are always looking for good deals for beers on tap.

    Overall, I am hoping that when I come back I will be a little more impressed with the food. I loved the vibe: grungy, pup friendly, music oriented bar.

    Nice place.
    I am visiting the city and the Airbnb host recommendation was this place. I went on Sunday night also karaoke night, so it was a little to loud but the food was delicious and the service really good.
    Totally recommend it.

    I love this low-key bar! The food menu is pretty expansive if you want typical American bar food. Also for the price, the portions are pretty large. I'd recommend either sharing or saving it for another meal later.

    My favorite thing to order are the fried chicken wings. For $13, I believe I got about 10 pretty large sized wings. I could only finish half of them. The service is also always pretty friendly when I'm here.

    I'm really excited for the summer, as that's when the back patio will be a really nice place to chill and hang out.

    It looked cute but kind of dive bar from the outside there is a nice size lot by the ally which is where the entrance is. The inside of the bar is dark but decorated in a fun way. But if the weather is nice for sure head outside to the patio with nautical decorations, picnic benches, and good shade. I ordered a margarita which was really good and they mash the lime and shake it together fresh, no premixed . My friend ordered the twilight burger with onion, tomato, lettuce, grilled onion, bacon, cream cheese, and a special aioli sauce. It was massive and he said it tasted really good but a food coma waiting to happen . Others said the fries, fried mushrooms, and chicken strips were bomb.

    I would for sure recommend for a small group hang out.
