A Hip Bar in Ballard, can it be? Bar Loft

My friend Brittany's b-day was last weekend and we all went out to the Bar Loft in Ballard. This isn't the typical dive bar or hipster rocker bar that you usually find in Ballard. It was trendy, hip and a place where you would run into one of your old friends from college. The crowd was pretty young, anywhere from 22 to 35 years old. A lot of the guys looked like they had been in a frat in college and the girls seemed pretty down to earth.

I didn't get a chance to walk upstairs, but it seemed like a fun place to hang out with a group and play a little air hockey. If you're into people watching, upstairs is great place to look down at the big crowd. This place is suppose to be a sports bar. They have quite a few TV's on the walls that were playing the X Games or something similar to that.

The waiters and waitresses were very nice, but the bartenders weren't the best. We went up to the bar and the blonde girl bartender kept helping all the guys that just got there before she would even look at me. I had been standing at the bar where everyone else was ordering drinks looking at her the whole time and she was ignoring me. She could have just been really busy.

Other than the bartender, this bar was a great place to hang out, I would definitely go back again. Here's a pic of the front of the bar:
