As usual, they have an impressive list of beers and ciders, unlike some places that only offer a single non beer option. They also have root beer on tap, which is adorable and great as they are angling for a family hang out vibe. I love the play area in the back, and I keep meaning to come in for trivia or a game night. Such a gem for the neighborhood!

Parking: They had a small packed lot, no issues with street parking on the same street or a perpendicular one. This place is awesome. Two floors and a really affordable kitchen with an awesome 50 beer tap list plus the fridge downstairs with a huge selection of singles. They do 8oz pours at reasonable half prices ($4-5) so it's fantastic for tasting different things. I tried a stout and two IPAa for around $20 with tip. They do Geeks who Drink trivia with a max team size of six on Wednesday nights at 7PM.

I used to have a weeknight ritual of coming by after work and have stopped because of how insane it's gotten. (This is coming from someone who worked in childcare for years, I like most kids!) This spot for some reason just attracts parents who are uninterested in keeping their kids behaved. This is my petition for the staff to feel more empowered to kick people out if they're not, for example, willing to keep their screaming 4 year old out of the beer cooler.

The beertender was very friendly and gave me a few tasters. The beers are decent. You can bring in food and there's a great Thai restaurant right across the street. This isa "no tip" establishment which I love for the transparency. However, this means that many beers are $9 to $11 (one of their hazy's was $11). I know costs in Seattle keep increasing due to the many taxes on business and inflation, so this may be the new normal for us.

Folks there were super communicative and helpful in getting a lay of the land. The dogs were very friendly and the people were welcoming and had only glowing things to say about the space.

Excited to go back soon :)

I recently brought my Havanese, Kainalu, to Growlerz Seattle for a grooming appointment with…read moreNicole, and I want to start by saying the actual grooming service itself was great. Nicole is an amazing groomer--she did an excellent job, and Kainalu came back clean, well-trimmed, and clearly cared for. I want to be very clear that I have absolutely nothing negative to say about her work, and this review is not a reflection of her at all. The experience during that initial visit felt professional and smooth, which is exactly why I intended to return and continue using their services regularly. However, the issue started when I attempted to book a follow-up appointment a few weeks later. When trying to schedule online, I was suddenly blocked by a requirement stating that my dog must be neutered in order to book. This caught me off guard because Kainalu was not neutered at the time of his first appointment, yet there were no issues or restrictions then. Since that visit, Kainalu has now been neutered, so I went ahead and uploaded the proper documentation through their system to meet the requirement. Despite doing everything asked on my end, the system still would not allow me to book another appointment. I then followed up by emailing them directly, expecting at least some kind of response or acknowledgment that my documents were received and being reviewed. Unfortunately, I never received a response. No confirmation, no clarification, and no assistance in resolving the issue. I gave it some time, assuming there might be a delay, but the lack of communication has continued, which has been frustrating. At this point, it feels like I've done everything required on my end and still have no way to move forward. What makes this more disappointing is that I genuinely want to continue bringing Kainalu here because of the positive experience we had with Nicole. Again, she is an amazing groomer, and this situation has nothing to do with her quality of work. The issue is entirely with the booking system and the lack of customer support or follow-up. A requirement like neutering is completely understandable, but the inconsistency between allowing the first appointment and then blocking future bookings--despite meeting the requirement--doesn't make sense. Overall, while the grooming itself deserves recognition, the backend experience has made things unnecessarily difficult. A simple response or manual update to my account after submitting documentation would have resolved this quickly. Instead, I'm left unable to rebook and unsure of how to proceed, which takes away from what was otherwise a really strong first impression.

DOGS AND HUMANS WELCOME at this female owned and LGBTQ friendly establishment. It looks like a…read moreregular human bar lounge except there are dogs running around off leash everywhere! Owners and people who enjoy dogs, lounge on plush couches sipping libations or playing one of the many board games provided for free. There is even a pool table! The staff are friendly and the bar also has draft beer as well as all manner of mixed drinks. My wife and I and Bomer, (our King Charles Cavalier) came to check this place out. We had thought there would be food, but apparently the health department will not allow it. We were told that we could bring our own food, and there are plenty of places in the neighborhood to get some including a wonderful BBQ place 2 blocks away. Besides the bar area, there are some indoor and outdoor play areas for the doggies. It was raining that day but I did have a look. The outdoor area is quite small compared to some other dog/people bars I've seen There are also a couple of indoor play areas. One is exclusively for boarding doggies, which, I did go to check out and was immediately mobbed by both large and small dogs. They were friendly but, I was quite overwhelmed and the staff helped me exit. Now I was told there was yet another indoor play area for visitors, but it was "not open". The owner lady did tell me she would open it for us, but never followed up and I thought her messaging about it was a little confusing. Other than that the basic bat area seemed nice, and we could see there were quite a few regulars there who knew each other as well as the dogs seemed to. Our little Boomer tried to make friends and was able to run around and play with some of the other dogs We did order some drinks, I enjoyed my draft beer but my wife did not like the one red wine they had which tasted a like a port that had been mixed with a red blend. Blech! So, now for the stars. As my Yelp friends know, I ALWAYS start with five and deduct from there. I will have to deduct a half star for the terrible red wine with no alternatives. If you're going to be "a bar" you need good wine and more than one option. Then a half star for the mixed messaging I encountered over the "public indoor play space. So four stars!
