“ Fun place to go to watch live music! Friendly staff. We had a great time there last Friday. ”
“ The Boxcar is what it is. It's a great local spot, especially for sports, karaoking, or catching up with friends. It's not a "modern dive", it's just a dive. But if that's what you're into (like I am) I'd say give it a shot. Bartenders are cranky but they grow on you. Or you on them... Either way. ”
“ We happened upon this place, wanted a place that was away from downtown Seattle, and Boxcar Alehouse did not disappoint us! Our bartender Nick was top notch, 15 years at this establishment. we ordered happy hour well drinks and a pitcher of beer (yep there still are places that sell pitchers of beer)! The food was flying out of the kitchen! the BLT sandwich was so good, as well as l, the French Dip! Parking is available, for free! We will be back! ”
“ It good place. You must go to there. Drink fun people good. I like to come here. Look! It Ted! Drink good. People fun It's painted red The decor is exquisite. ”
“ Such sweet servers. Very accommodating and kind. I'm gluten free and they're really nice about it. 10/10 ”
“ Cute dive! Very chill, relaxed dive bar. Lots of seating, and games to play if you want. Standard bar prices, nothing special but it did seem like they have a lot of specials during the week that were worth checking out! I will def be back ”
“ The boxcar is a decent neighborhood dive bar that is convenient and consistently filled with customers. They have karaoke, but I forget which nights. They will let u bring your dog as long as u sit outside and they have a covered back patio section where u can watch football and get a bit of fresh air in rain or shine. The chili here is really good and I've also tried a chicken sandwich and the French dip. Food is really good value for the price, which is very important to me. Nothing worse than paying a ton of money and leaving hungry and dissatisfied. That won't happen to you at the Boxcar. Stop by and check em out if you're ever in my neighborhood. ”
“ One of the last of the amazing old school Seattle dive bars here in Magnolia... Real people, good strong drinks, no gastropub infusion nonsense just a solid bar w/ Great bartenders and deep fried eats and you can even sing REO Speedwagon or Nickelback or Biggie on a karaoke nite! ”
“ I shocked myself and found to love this place! I've made some buddies with regulars and while I've come in the past (pre-pandemic), I forgot how enjoyable it is to come here. I've seen the typical magnolia-ite b*taches and just regulars. It's a great time every time, with decent pours and friendly staff that chill and even come hang after their shift. I dig it! For food, I've only had the burger and wings but need to revisit the wings as naked with sauce options on the side per a friend recommendation. The burger is good! And the fries are those Kringle kind, so FYI as everyone likes/dislikes fries a certain way lol As of Jan 2022 (my bday month!!), karaoke is only on Saturday's. ”
“ Karaoke with Easton, live bands, covered smoking outdoor dining area with tv's, good food, affordable booze, & friendly bartenders. Get the tater tots! I wish they had TouchTunes jukebox instead of old school cd's. Takes too long to find a song. I call this the Magnolia Targy's. Great local beloved dive with a lot of fishing industry folks. I leave Queen Anne for this place. ”
