 Hidden sports haven on Ballard Ave

I am on a perpetual quest to find the sports bar of my dreams, the one that has ample televisions, affordable drinks and food you'd want to eat even if you weren't there just to watch the game.
I still haven't found my dream spot in Seattle, but in the meantime the Ballard Loft is a more than acceptable alternative. There are plenty of TVs on all 4 walls - which satisfies my main requirement for a sports bar (fewer than 3 TVs and you are simply a bar that occasionally plays sports on its TVs).
The menu offers a bit more than the standard bar grub, with salads, pizzas and hot dogs. They also use Essential Bakery bread, which is a nice touch.
Sometimes it can be tough to find seats, because you never know which team's fanbase will randomly descend on the Loft and commandeer half the tables in an outpouring of school spirit. I recently ran up against a Gonzaga young alums gathering and had to throw a few elbows with some rabid Bulldogs. But for local teams like UW and the Seahawks, you can usually find a decent home crowd on hand.
Unfortunately, the Loft is not immune to the overall Ballard trend of an increasing d-bag quotient on weekend evenings. But for week nights and weekend days, this is one of the most reliable sports bar options around.
Pros: Many TVs, good for fans
Cons: Can be crowded, especially if you arrive after game time
 Awesome place to watch a game - or hang outside

Ballard Loft has an awesome outdoor patio in the front, perfect for a sunny day of imbibing. It also has a pretty sweet game night on Tuesdays (Mondays?), all right food, good happy hour, and a bunch of big TV's - not a bad spot to watch a game from...
Pros: Outdoor Seating, TV's, Game Night
Cons: none
good place to unwind

Clean, open space with friendly service. Beer in mugs, decent fried grub, two pool tables and a dozen TVs. Weekdays are pretty mellow. Weekends are what you'd expect in Ballard, but without an entrenched scene since the place is still pretty new and looks too much like a sports bar to pass for hipster territory. If you're new to the area like a lot of people, this place is a safe bet.
