Plenty of Seahawks fans here, but if you're part of the Panthers diaspora, this is the place to be! At least one TV will have the game, and you're guaranteed to find a few fellow fans.

Ballard Loft is near the end of Ballard Avenue. They have a nice courtyard out front. Two stories inside. It's usually crowded , but it's far less snobbish than King's Hardware. They have website. Read more

One of favorites places to watch a game! Great selection of local microbrews and some of the best hotdogs in Seattle. Seahawks , Mariners, Sounders or Huskies- this is the place to be on game day!

Bartender is awesome, female waitress sucks. Waited 20 mins and had to go get our menus after being told she'd be over soon. Another 15 after eating and she acted weird when we brought up the plates
