The LimeB

8544 122nd Ave NE, Kirkland, WA 98033 · Bar & grill, Live music venue, Night club · South Rose Hill

High-energy bar and live music spot with solid bar bites, lively karaoke, and great sports viewing; service and karaoke policies can be hit-or-miss on packed nights.

Why this grade

The Lime delivers solid value and entertainment appeal with reliable comfort food highlights like prime rib specials and strong draw for live music and sports events. However, inconsistent execution on certain dishes and variable service during peak nights prevents higher performance. This is a worthwhile neighborhood bar for affordable food, entertainment, and game-day atmosphere—just manage expectations around crowding and service variability on busy event nights.

The full picture

Sports bar by day and music hub by night, The Lime feels warm and bustling with a legit stage, big dance floor, and TVs everywhere. Regulars rave about friendly bartenders and value specials, while one diner noted, "The room was rocking and the band sounded tight." On peak nights, expect lines, tight parking, and a very lively crowd. The cooking leans classic bar comfort: burgers, wings, tacos, and a crowd-pleasing prime rib special that regulars call a steal. When the kitchen clicks, plates come hearty and satisfying; a few reviews flagged inconsistent tacos and slow service when the place is slammed. Karaoke and live bands headline—the vibe is more party-forward than chef-driven, perfect if you want music, pool, and game-day energy with your meal. This spot is 21+ only, so it is not for families with kids. For picky eaters, the menu stays familiar: nachos, quesadillas, wings, and fish and chips. If you need kid options, look elsewhere; if your crew wants affordable bar food and entertainment, it can be a solid hang.
