Viking Sports Bar & Grill (Shoreline, Washington, U.S.A.)

Viking Sports Bar & Grill, 14622-15 Avenue NE, Shoreline, Washington, U.S.A. 1 1/2 blocks north of the Seattle border.  I ordered a glass of wine and was told they don't have any white wine.  The bartender said they only have red wine.  When I asked what kind of red, she said it came in a box.....
She later told us they have very few requests for wine,some days they have white and other days red.  So red it was.There is a small 8 person sit-up bar that was always full when we were there.  Mostly occupied by locals and they all seemed to know each other.  10 different types of beer on tap. The bar is in 2 different parts, the main part where the sit-up bar is, has 1 pool table and 10 tv's.  There are 5 bar height tables that seat 4 and a longer table in the middle for basically watching tv and the bar.  There is a dance floor and an area for music.  The back or second area is all fun and games.  5 tv's, 2 pool tables, pinball games and other arcade games.  There are several booths as well as tables and chairs.  Happy hour runs every day from 1100 to 6 pm, $2.50 well drinks, pitchers of Rolling Rock Draft $6.00 and $4.00 appys.  They have a large appy menu.  For lunch I had the Bourbon Burger with tater tots.  The burger was good and surprisingly so were the tater tots!!  My better half had the deluxe cheese burger and it to was good.  This place is what it is, not fancy and more of a blue collar bar.

At one time around 1945 the building was known as the 177th Street Tavern.  The first time it was shown as the North City Tavern is in the 1947 street directory.  From 1935 to 1944 records are silent as to the use of the building but likely became a tavern at the end of Prohibition in 1933.  How cool it that!  It is great that it has lasted and still going.  The present owner has had it for 28 years and there has been pressure for him to put it on the historic registry, but if he does that the rules are very strict as to what he can and can't do with it. So for now not putting n the registry. 9 different types of beer on tap, and full selection of hard stuff.  The menu is small: pizza $7, chicken wings $4, chicken nuggets $3, Taquito (6) $3.00, French fries $2, Tater Tots  $2 and Corndog $1. They have a warm nut bar which you never see any more. A rectangular bar is the focal point and is in the middle, seating about 30 people.  A pint of Mac and Jack beer and a glass of Chardonnay wine is $8.  Can't beat that!  Lots of locals come hear, and the bartender knows most of them. The bartenders are great and friendly! Large selection of pull tabs.  They also have a pool table and 9 TV'S through out.  It is small yet cozy in here.  Parking lot out back.
