"I got a local IPA that is made in house and and I also got some of their fries. The fries were amazing! Crispy, fresh, tasty sauce. The beer was also excellent. Seems like a great place to me. I would definitely come back"

"All of the pizzas here are so delicious! One of our favorite pizza places! We love the hecho and the pizza with meat and little hot peppers. They have a little outside patio where we've sat with our pup. The staff are super nice and service is excellent!"

J. Michael's Pub & Eatery

★★★★☆ 3.8 (103)

"I feel like I'm in an episode of Cheers. Where every body knows your name. Can I love a bar more, without feeling like I drink all the time? Love this place. I've been coming here for over 10 years and it keeps getting better and better. First, let me say at first glance this place is a divey sports bar, with the usual pool table, pull tabs, and Dart boards. But it's so much more!You have of course the regulars who come here week after week. You have the weekly karaoke nights with singers filled with liquid courage. You have the intellectuals who attend trivia night. You have your pool masters and self proclaimed drinking masters. But what is most impressive is the diversity of people. The full rainbow spectrum. All inclusive. All excepting. And believe me you, the owners and bartenders will ensure all is welcome!The staff here is THE best in town. Remembers your name and drinks and can potentially be your BFF. They have no problem with dealing with patrons who discriminate or disrespects. The drinks here are strong and the portions are too big to finish (not complaining). The music is a variety of everything. And the space is pretty big. I can't say enough about this place. I don't get to come as often, now that I live on the other side of the water. But I definitely come by when ever I'm in town. Love this place!"

Locust Cider Market Place

★★★★★ 4.6 (53) • $$

"What a fantastic spot! I love ciders and my boyfriend and I had visited so many breweries I figured a flight of ciders is called for. We ordered and sat right away to relax. The whole place is very open and gorgeous. Loved the video games to play while you drink. They also had some outdoor seating available. The food options looked delicious but we didn't have room for anything but the ciders. That was fine because the ciders were delicious. Every flavor better than the last. I might actually end up ordering from their website because I loved it so much! Very friendly staff too. Definitely check this place out if you like ciders!"

Piccadilly Circus

★★★☆☆ 2.6 (100) • $$

"The food is good. Well, let me clarify: the bacon wrapped dates & the bangers are good. The rest is so-so. Toad In the Hole is really good, but takes too long and often comes out with burnt bangers, which some people might like, but I don't.My biggest issue with this place is the staff. They are friendly enough, but they're more concerned with flirting with the regulars or fighting with the grumpy old boss.Example: last visit we popped in for a meal (my hubs is from England and sometimes craves English fare, totally get that). We snuggled into a spot at the bar surrounded by loud, over-served guests. The bartender spent more time chatting and no time attending to us, or the people seated at the tables. It was annoying.Then, the grumpy old boss shows up out of nowhere and starts a fight with the bartender. Not a physical fight (young girl vs grizzled old man might have been fun to watch tho). They were straight up yelling at each other toward the end of it and I $h!t you not, EVERYONE left. We would have left faster but we had to wait for our tab. It was so freakin awkward, I don't know if we'll be back.But the hubs needs his fix, so we might be back. Maybe. We'll keep our eyes out for another place to get proper bangers."

Quinn's

★★★★☆ 4.1 (1356) • $$

"I enjoyed this dinner. We shared the scotch egg and burrata, both were very tasty. I had the steak frites for dinner, the fries were really crispy & the steak was cooked perfectly. I sampled the Foie gras & we also had the steak tartare. Overall, it was a tasty dinner."

Ringers Pub & Grill

★★★★☆ 3.5 (83)

"Ringers is a little dove spot near my house. We've eaten here a few times. The burgers are awesome and every weeknight they have a dinner special which is a great deal. Wing Wednesdays are the best, but they do sell out - so get there early. The staff is also the friendliest!"

ChurchKey Pub

★★★★★ 4.5 (177) • $$

"Edmonds has many great eating and drinking options, this one is a just a little off the main path, just follow the beautiful murals just off one of the main streets of downtown and you'll find the red door to the Churchkey pub, a perfect place to enjoy some comfort food and a drink.. or two on a cloudy cool afternoon. Very much the feel of a English pub, from the red door, the decor on the wooden walls and quaint bar area, to the dart board in the back. Quick and friendly service and seating, Addison and staff were quick with food and drink suggestions, starting off with the pastry stout 'Dark Persuasions' , a malty stout with a coconut chocolate mouthful, tasting like German chocolate cake, very flavorful! The Mumbo Jumbo Gumbo sounded tasty on a cool afternoon and Addison agreed, food came out quickly, a delicious gumbo chocked full of Andouille sausage and shredded chicken and vegetables ( only disappointment was no okra) so tasty and flavorful it was easy to overlook, just the comfort food ticket on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Following the yummy stout, which went well with the gumbo, being in a pub, I had to try the Copperline Red Ale ( love those reds) and this one was very good, malty with a good amber color and taste, great to finish off the gumbo with. The bowl of gumbo was a meal by itself, but definitely looking to try some of the other delicious looking items on the menu, which definitely has a English pub list and much more. The Reuben and shepherds pie also like yummy. Along with a full bar, the brews are on a rotating tap, so you can find many different types of beers and ciders for any palate. Worth seeking out, while visiting Edmonds, just follow the wall art. Happy Yelping, God bless and Cheers!"

McMenamins Queen Anne

★★★★☆ 3.5 (383) • $$

"Being from Jersey I had never heard of McMenamins. My boyfriend and I were staying in the Pineapple Hotel just down the block. When I searched up places to grab a quick bite this showed up and I'm happy we went with it! Our servers were fantastic. Super helpful and friendly. We just got a flight and their delicious Scooby Snacks and sliders. I especially loved the Portland ketchup and mustard - both delicious. The food was great, the sliders were absolutely fantastic. The restaurant itself is gorgeous. There's attention to detail everywhere you turn. The ceilings, corners, windows, the plants. Everything is beautiful and well thought out. I couldn't stop staring everywhere. I'm glad we made a stop here."

★★★★★ 4.5 (3075) • $$

"BLUF: I highly recommend this location. The restaurant was excellent. The food quality was high. The portion size was valuable and it really just had a great atmosphere. There was nothing that I tried that I didn't like. I like this place so much that I'm going to fully write out each reason why I enjoyed this this restaurant and it deserves it's five starsFood/drink - from the sourdough bread to the sourdough rolls to the sourdough pasta is made fresh right in the restaurant. You can't get anything more fresh than being made right in front of you at various stages of the process. The drink and food was off the chart from the entertainment of the drinks to the local kind of perspective it made for a tongue in cheek, kind of experience. When you talk about food quality, price, and perception value it just blue things outAlex the waitress, who was rainbow infused princess mermaid, who although has ADD was just amazing. She was delightful, entertaining and interesting. We really enjoyed our banter as a group of four as she played along with our jetlagged personalities. She's awesome and is totally 5*"

King's Hardware

★★★★☆ 3.8 (667) • $$

"I come here weekly for a chess club (yeah, I'm a nerd). Each visit is about the same each time which is pretty good. With some variance good and eh along with it.Kings, which I suppose used to be a hardware store in the olden days but now has become a hotspot on the Ballard strip amongst a host of other places. A basic looking bar with divey dimness but kind of outdoorsy style with wood decor and taxidermy. Most of my visits have been just for drinks while playing, but I had the spicy chicken sandwich. Not bad. The cut, slaw and spice were all there. The fries were really good. Just the right amount of crisp and saltiness. This along with burgers and chicken fingers are pretty much the make up in the way of food here. The beer options are alright, kind of the basics for the area which is ok, help it stay different from the breweries aroundThe barstaff/waitstaff seem to be about the same every visit and they're pretty cool. The bouncer dude seems to take his job a little too seriously at times, but the benefit of the doubt comes in since this seems like Kings biggest demographic is 20 somethings so he's extra all over that. Overall King's is pretty decent in my visits."

The Bison on Main

★★★★☆ 4.2 (91) • $$

"Came for lunch on a cold winter day. 3 other people in the restaurant at 1pm. I ordered the Roper and my date the Cowboy. First of all I have to say the fries that come with burger are fantastic! Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. You can order one of their unique side sauces for dipping too. The Roper had fried jalapeños and white cheddar cheese. The jalapeños were small and mighty, not too hot. They have 16 beers on tap along with ciders, wine and and full bar. TVs available for those interested in sporting events. The food was fabulous, we will be back to sample other menu items."

74th Street Ale House

★★★★☆ 3.6 (270)

"Having just finished up a fun visit to the Water Lantern Festival at Green Lake, #seattledude and I were hungry and feeling underwhelmed by the food truck options at the festival. (Plus, there was no beer!) So we hopped on Yelp and found the 74th Street Ale House just up the hill in Phinney Ridge. It was pretty crowded on a Saturday evening, but we found a table in the back and quickly ordered a couple of pints. I had one of my faves, a Mac 'n Jacks, which is almost impossible to find on tap closer to home. He had a stout. Good autumn beers for sure!We also split an oyster po' boy sandwich and a goat cheese salad. They even split them for us, at no extra charge, which was super sweet. The food was fresh and delicious, though I felt the goat cheese portion on the (split) salads were pretty small. The po' boys were tasty, and the oysters were fresh and perfectly fried. It was a good meal to top off a cool fall day in the big city.The service was great, too - our waitress was friendly and helpful, not to mention patient as we were pretty indecisive about what to order from their extensive menu."

Rough & Tumble Pub

The Chieftain

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (136) • $$

"This bar is walking distance from where we live but have always kind of avoided it as it's the local college spot. Decided to swing in on a whim to quickly watch the Seahawks and grab a quick drink. Unbeknownst to us they open at 2pm... we learned this as we walked in at approximately 2:04pm. After a couple beers and a stressful performance from Russell Wilson we decided to stress eat a chicken quesadilla for the hell of it. We were INCREDIBLY shocked how much flavor it had. It was delectable, and the first time in a long time I excitedly wanted to order more food from a college bar. Servers were also super kind and personable. I would give it five stars but seeing as I know this wasn't an average visit (we were more or less the only people there at the time), going with four for now. Nonetheless, we will be back, and will update on the next visit as needed!"

Rockport Bar & Grill

★★★★☆ 3.9 (27) • $

"This place has a very nice outdoor bar garden, with about eight tables, some with umbrellas, some not. They also have music for the outside, not too loud, if you want to have a conversation and just relax with a beer. Also, in the bar garden they have horseshoes, if you're inclined to play. The staff is nice and friendly. It's a place where the locals go. I'd go here again, in fact I will, since I'm staying for a week, just down the road."

Finn MacCool's Irish Public House

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (190) • $

"Note that Finn's is temporarily CLOSED due to COVID. This review is for before COVID regulations were enforced.My college experience wouldn't have been the same without Finn's. My friends and I would come here almost every Wednesdays for cheap Wells drinks (Wells Wednesday). The prices would alternate between $1 & $2 depending on the hour, so we would come here at 11pm for peak hour and $1 drinks. Their Wells selection includes rum, tequila, vodka, (and I think gin?) with a choice of orange juice, soda, cranberry juice, pineapple juice, or ginger beer (+$2) for mix-in. Our main go-tos were vodka cranberries and tequila sunrises. The bartenders are all pretty heavy handed, so make sure to mix the drinks well!Out of all of the bars on The Ave, Finn's is the darkest, loudest, and probably the most crowded. Make sure to arrive early to grab a table. If you want to have a conversation with your friend sitting next to you, you're either going to have to shout or just pretend and smile and nod haha. Finn's is also the only bar with a dance floor so there's usually a lot of action going on.Service is okay. It can be difficult to get the bartender's attention because people just crowd around the bar so you have to be patient.In summary, Finn's is a place for quality over quantity, so don't expect anything too fancy for $1; come here just to get tipsy with friends and mingle with the college crowd.Hopefully Finn's will open up again once corona subsides.Overall: 3/5 for drinks, 3/5 for service, 3/5 for atmosphere"

Sidetrack Eatery & Pub

★★★★☆ 3.9 (39) • $$

"I get excited when I see Hispanic people running a business. They are hardworking, honest and always provide a value in whatever the product is. This place popped up on my radar about a decade ago and I finally had a chance to step in and see if it was a worthy addition to my eatery rotation. Not real big and the lighting is kinda dingy and being a ba, I guess you know who to expect when you show up in the middle of the day for lunch. Lot's of retired people that most likely drink and smoke too much, but God bless 'em, whoever you are, you need a place to go. I sat next to someone that didn't appear too happy to see a black man sit down. So much so that after scowling for about 5 minutes, he paid his tab and left. Soon after 4 women came in, two sisters and a mother. They asked if I could scoot down to make room for them. Trust me, there was room, but I guess when you play pull tabs, you need the maximum elbow room allowed. My favorite part was after getting a fistful of pull tabs, the nicotine pimp got 'em and they all had to go outside and smoke. The same woman who asked me to move, whispered to the waitress, "Make sure he doesn't take our pulltabs". I was seriously tempted to tell them to move to another area, ignorant wenches!I ordered the burger dip. I love a good burger dip and feel it should be a staple on over burger menu, but it's often overlooked. When it came, it was cooked to perfection, even the bun was grilled golden brown. The fries were hot, crips and appeared to be cut in house. There was one small blip, but I'll let it slide The sandwich had grilled onion, and I hate grilled onions and I don't think that was called out on the menu, because I would have said hold the onions. A dip is simple, meat, bread and dip, I'll accept a cheese, but never request it, but anything else is just too much. The sandwich was good, would have been great without the onion. The price was beyond fair because I guess it's $2 off any burger on a Tuesday. The food was good and I'll certainly circle back to try other items The service was a bit slow, but I heard someone comment there are normally more than one person working the floor. I think the girl could have hustled a little more, but when you got many hours ahead of you, I guess you figure, 'What's the rush" Plus, most people that drink during the middle of the day aren't in a rush. Me, I just came to sample the food, then I need to get down the road and the slow service actually prevented me from making another planned stop.I know bars are dim, but the lighting in here was really bad, They either need a different temperature bulb or more bulbs, because it just didn't feel comfortable to me inside. My overall experience was about a 2.5 to 3, but I'm giving this place a 4. If there had been another server, I think my experience would have been much improved, and I can't say enough about the overall value of what I got for my money. I would certainly come back here for a burger before going anywhere else. It's hard to mess up a burger, but this was a quality burger basket for a very fair price."

Ale Spike Camano Island Brewing

★★★★★ 4.6 (16)

"There are now two breweries in the Camano Island and Stanwood area! Hooray! My impression was for the longest time there was just one for this area but it's always good to see more options and variety!Ale Spike was our last stop before we wrapped up our day trip of Camano Island. Steve and I both really liked this brewery and found it a great place to unwind and relax! We got two different beers here which we had a good time with! The first one was the A.D.I.D.A.S. Stout. This was an Oatmeal Stout and I really do enjoy those as the chill is in the air during certain times of the year. Rich and smooth this stout was a great place to start with this brewery!Next up we got the Firechicken Amber. I do like my ambers and this one didn't disappoint with it's bready features in it's flavor profile this one was a great beer to wrap our trip up with of the island!"

Whistle Stop Ale House

★★★★☆ 3.6 (460)

"I stopped by Whistle Stop Ale House during a tattoo appointment across the street (my mom was going first!). It was midday and I realized that I hadn't had anything to eat yet, which isn't really recommended when getting a tattoo. :) The vibe here is cozy and the service was nice. My visit was quick and I got their smoked chicken quesadilla and a beer. They had a good amount of drink selections on tap and the hazy that I got was good, and from a brewery that I hadn't tried before.The smoked chicken quesadilla was a decent size (I only finished half) and was so good! I loved the sauce that they drizzled on it, some sort of chipotle ranch. They should have a side of that for dipping! All in all it was a good visit and I'd definitely come back."

Mercado Luna

★★★★☆ 3.6 (435) • $$

"Mercado Luna is a building with a rooftop containing some food trucks and drinks while also housing a restaurant on the ground level. Scan a QR code on the table to order food and walk up to the bar to order drinks. Expensive tacos but I guess you're somewhat paying for the ambiance of a rooftop. The drinks were also expensive and tiny. Rooftop isn't anything crazy though, the edge seating is usually full and there aren't views obviously.Tuti Fruti - pink slush that's really strong. My friends got the last Tuti Fruti so I couldn't order it, but we ended up swapping because they liked my Caribbean Rum better. Tangy, vodka drink.Caribbean Rum - blue slush that was also pretty strong but my friends thought it tasted better and less alcoholic than the Tuti Fruti. I thought the opposite. The rum was sweeter than the vodka while still being tangy.Tacos Al Pastor - these weren't double tortilla and at the price point, they were pretty small and unfilling. Shredded pineapple on top was nice and tangy, but doesn't make up for the entire taco. Radishes on the side were extremely bland, lacking flavor altogether. Taco Quesabirria - this doesn't come with consome you have to order it separately for extra which I'm not as used to, especially because the consome itself seems like too much for one quesabirria. I would expect the tacos to be the size of this quesabirria given their price points. Chips and Salsa and Guac - we got multiple orders of chips with salsa and guac and the chips were alright. While they seem to be made in house, they weren't double fried or anything special. Salsa and guacamole were pretty standard. Nice party item to share and chat with, probably better than the actual entrees.Choncho's Churros - pretty good churros! Each order is three fairly sized churros coated well in cinnamon dust. Honestly the only thing I'd come back, but not something that makes it worth going out of my way for."

Conway Pub and Eatery

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (211)

"We were so hungry after spending the entire day in traffic trying to see the tulip fields. This was the only place nearby that was still open. When we got there around 7pm, they told us food would be late since there was only one cook available. They said it would take an hour, but we did order and got some mozzarella squares in about a half hour. My friends ordered taco salads and I ordered a chicken burger with curly fries. It took about another 30 minutes after getting the appetizer to get our meals. The chicken burger was tasty, but they gave me just a small amount of the wrong fries and no one ever came back to check how our meals were until an hour later! It was fairly loud and cold outside, but I did like that you could sit outside when the weather is good. Not sure if I would go here again, but maybe if they had more workers the service would be quicker."

The Black Duck Cask and Bottle

★★★★☆ 4.2 (852) • $$

"My go-to place for great beer and food in Issaquah! The gastropub ambiance is good for both a casual outing or a fun time out, and it can get pretty busy at times. Indoor and outdoor seating with bathrooms inside.Their rotating beer menu is bound to have something you'll like but their cocktails are also surprisingly good. For food, I always get the black duck pie and the duck gravy poutine. Last time I tried the black duck drummers and grilled romaine as well which were also tasty."

The Calcutta Grill

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (273) • $$

"This is a great place to chill locally with an amazing view. I also love sitting in the bar, and the patio or the dining room. Typically the food is very delicious. I recently had the king salmon BLT for almost $30 and I wouldn't say it was that great though. I used to have it several years ago and it was the best sandwich I have had and it was $17. Way more flavorful back then but most everything else is good. I've had some very good tacos, burgers, and seafood (scallops were amazing) dishes. Also had a very good espresso martini and an extensive wine list to please any wine lover."

Beveridge Place Pub

★★★★☆ 4.3 (377)

"This is one of the top 3 spots for drinking beer and hanging out when in West Seattle. There's a lot of tap take overs and you can find a large mix beers in one place to try PNW beer. The beer is a plenty, but I've found that not always the coldest beer I've ever drank; but maybe this is the temperature beer is supposed to be serviced.The décor has large high ceilings, plenty of tables and couches that are spread out from 4 tops to large tables that can take a dozen or more. I like the hard woods and the vintage furniture that is made for comfort and gives you a hanging out at someone's house feel. It's easy to get a flight of beers and then just sit and chat and let time go by.There's a second room that's doubles the floor space; I can see where this is a great place to meet up with a large group of friends or have a birthday party where you can do some serious beer drinking as the place is huge that can easily accommodate large groups comfortably. Don't expect to be find a meal here even though it's called a "pub" as the only food seems to be popcorn and maybe some other snack foods. That said, there's other places to carry in a meal that are just next door our you can drink and then walk to a restaurant and eat before or after frequenting Beveridge Place Pub.As to service, I've come back a few times and realized this really is a locals pub that is tailored to repeat customers that come in day in and day out. I have found in my experiences that being a repeat customer seems to have dividends related to bar service. As an example, I was sitting at the bar with my wife and she was told to get into a long line queued half way to the front door for a beer where the couple of guys next to us were served refills were they sat at the bar. So, I can see where some patrons coming to Beveridge Pub can feel the service is spotty as it seems service depends on who you are and how the staff is feeling at the moment."

I will support this local Tavern fosho! Overall, definitely will be back here!"

"My wife and I love dive bars and Rocko's didn't fail. We stopped in on a Sunday afternoon for lunch.Free parking can be found on the street, in the small parking lot in back and in the surrounding neighborhood. Parking can be challenging at times. Discover is an accepted form of payment.Rocko's has an outdoor seating area with shade umbrellas to enjoy during the warmer months. As for entertainment, one will find darts, live bands, TV's, and pull tabs.Rocko's provides a full bar, a small selection of local draft craft beer and a temporary food menu. During our lunch visit, my wife slurped on a Mac & Jack and I a Space Dust IPA.My wife ordered the Buffalo Chicken Salad for $11. Her salad was generous in size and the toppings were not skimpy.I ordered the BLT Sandwich for $12. My sandwich was one of the best tasting BLT's I've had in a long time. Delish.While enjoying our lunch together my wife and I tried our luck at pull tabs. We happened to be lucky this day and won $260.The staff as well as the local patrons were all friendly and relaxed. Rocko's will be added to our local dive bar rotation from here on out."

"By @iwanttobewhatieat If Brie was a friend, you would hype her up every day and tell her what a bad ass bitch she is for being way better than all the other cheeses.@porterhousepub slayed the Brie & Garlic burger. The clam chowder as well as fish and chips were also drool worthy. The lesson of this story is you should order all three on repeat. I highly recommend this little gem in Mount Vernon Washington. Our server was excellent and smacked the crap out of lunch service all by herself on the floor."

"Outstanding little brewery!! Came here on a Saturday they had a DJ playing music and they have an outside patio area as well. They didn't have the biggest selection of beers (all local) but the few they did have were phenomenal. The salmon sandwich is perfect as a light lunch or dinner item."

Pour Decisions

★★★★☆ 4.2 (30)

"What a cute little place over in Ballard! I had some time to kill before meeting up with some friends for dinner, so I popped into Pour Decisions for a tasty cold cider on a recent hot Monday afternoon. Their tap list was mighty and impressive - lotsa great ciders and beers (though, sadly for me, nothing in the amber category). I decided on a crisp cider, and spent some Q-time on my laptop answering emails while sipping it down.I was sad that I couldn't stay later, as they have karaoke on Mondays and I guess it's pretty popular. They do have some outdoor seating, but it's a small area. Luckily the indoor is spacious and air conditioned so yay.They don't have food here, but you can bring your own. There's also an ahhhhmazzzing taco truck right across the street, which (confession) I grabbed a pre-dinner taco from when I was done with my cider.Really loved the vibe here and will stop back in next time I'm in the north Ballard area."
