Seventy years of cold pints and salty stories.
Tucked between the locks and the fishing fleet, The Sloop has been the gathering place for Ballard's fishermen, longshoremen, neighbors, and the curious passers-by since the year Eisenhower took office. No craft cocktails. No reservations. Just a wood-paneled room, a long bar, and a 34oz mug with your name on it.
