Tuna melt is such a guilty pleasure; they put spicy peppers in it.. The fried goat cheese is amazing as well . Unexpected for the feel of the place but good!

Jason Mitchell

Decent list with nano-breweries like Stoup and Reuben 's starting to make the occasional appearance. Food a little pricey for what it is, but the Reuben is excellent and the tuna melt quite good. 21+

Great spot to watch a game! Local pub with great service and delicious soups .

Danielle Soffer

First visit tonight. Ordered the Chicken Quesadilla which came with a small leafy-green salad . It was DELICIOUS! They have my fave cider , Blackthorn, which is hard to find! Definitely going back!

The Seattle Times

The chicken quesadilla was stuffed with pesto and cilantro . The seared prawns left a mild but lingering spice. All to pair better with the microbrews : about 20 beers , mostly from Washington and Oregon Read more

Jake Pearce

The cask ales are amazing. As are the tacos/Mexican foods on the menu - a real find with a local Queen Anne feel

Dani Antes

Totally a local bar . If you're an "outsider" go with friends! Bartenders make good reccomendations for beer but not great shots!

Tammy McCray

The only decent drink prices are during happy hour . The food is so good though!!

Seattle Happy Hour

Only drink the cask - the closest you'll get to proper beer this side of Landsend

Gavin Phillips

Imperial pints a plus great beer selection , cask , nitro, but bartender is not very friendly

The chicken sandwich deserves all the praise it gets. Try it with the cask IPA .

From the tap: Hales Cream Ale is the smoothest beer you will ever have.

Awesome tea shop . Ask for Brett - he knows his teas !

The Reuben is outstanding.

Best reuben sandwich in Seattle!

The gumbo is always fantastic, but you must like your gumbo spicy because it is.

Stephanie Joy Miran

Nothing special. Food sounds better than it tastes. Don't come in with high expectations. Their hefeweizen is good though.
