Came to my second home away from home, and this location was in Seattle…read more This location was smaller than the ones here in Texas, but still had a huge selection. The staff very friendly and VERY helpful. I do not know if you know, but in Seattle, they charge a crayz tax for liquor (not beer and wine). The staff member had to point it out to me, or I would not have known. In addition, they are not allowed to sell THC drinks because of rules and regulations. I don't think you can blame Total Wine for that, but I am sure people do. HOWEVER, they do try to hide the true costs when it comes to liquor, and that seemed a little sketch. If we see a large price sign, that usually indicates a price, and that is not how they did it there. However, the prices there are still the cheapest, so whether it was Texas or Washington, Total Wine is still my favorite place to buy drinks.

TOTAL WINE & MORE @ BELLEVUE…read more Spacious parking lot shared with other stores (most close to Uwajimaya), free and not super busy most of the time. This spot is one of my favorite places to grab alcohol, good deals, and there's a huge variety especially if you want to do a gathering or party. In this case, I purchased many items for a party, staff were friendly, and there was more things that I could imagine. Highly recommend stopping by, this is a great spot!

I love going to local brewpubs and microbreweries when traveling. So when I saw this location of…read moreBellevue's largest microbrewery, my wife and I had to stop in for an early lunch with a sampling of beers. The food and beers were great. As the name states, the very large brewpub is located in the Spring District, inside the park/greenspace. The district used to be an industrial area, that has been transformed into a mixed residential/retail area, centered around the light rail transit station. The brewery makes great use of the outdoor space, with a lot of seating for an impromptu biergarten on nice days. This Tuesday was a typical March day in Seattle, which meant dining inside was a must. We ended up finding street parking a couple of blocks away, though they do have validated parking: in the underground parking right below (with under 10 dedicated spots) and the bigger Spring district Parking garage nearby. Amanda was our server, and she was super friendly, giving us suggestions. They have a large selection of house brewed beers, and we chose eight of the non-IPA ones as two flights, consisting of 4 5oz glasses (assuming it cost $12). We tried the Harvest Boom P.O.G. Wheat (this was our favorite one), Bothell Brown (liked this one), Snake Charmer Irish Red (strangely very mild for a Red), ChugMeister Mazren Lager (my second favorite). Second flight consisted of 1882 Pre-Prohibition Lager (very crisp and light), Muckle Flugga Scotch Ale (really like Scotch Ale in general, though hard to find on the West Coast...thought this version was OK), Schwarzbier Black Lager (different, very mild, really enjoyed), and a Der Kommissar Pilsner (super light with no body). I don't think I've been able to choose two flights of non-IPA in-house beers before...they keep a very large selection here, and it's worth coming to, just for the draft beers. We ordered some bar food that both of us like, and each plate was excellent. Shareable thick cut fries ($11) was very filling, especially since they were fried very well and were sturdy enough for dipping. Got Scotch Ale Chili ($13) and it was hearty, with plenty of pinto beans and good ground beef, with not too much chili powder. It came with housemade tortilla chips, which were thin and excellent. Wanted to try their beef birria, ordered their birria Nachos ($19) and it was really well prepared. Everything was diced into small pieces, used a really good beer cheese sauce and the the fresh guacamole was solid. For a brewpub, it has excellent bar food. The portions were large...we ended up taking about half of it home. Next time, will stay longer and try some of their main course dishes. The room was modern with plenty of windows for natural light. The central bar is huge, but there are plenty of bar tables as well, letting patrons decide how they want to dine/hang. My only complaint was that the payment process was at the table with only a tablet, and gave me no chance to look at the receipt. The total seemed right and was expecting a chance for receipt, but Amanda grabbed the tablet after my tip and signature before I could ask for a digital receipt, and then disappeared. I suppose I could have tracked her down, but getting a receipt after a meal should not be that hard. Can't remember the last time I was out, and couldn't get a receipt easily...would have made this review a bit easier.

This is definitely my favorite eastside brewery - if not Seattle area brewery in general. Not sure…read morehow I haven't posted a review before!? I'm not a huge IPA fan, but they always have something malty or lager-like on the menu, too. Food is, IMHO, solid. Burgers are good, the fish and chips can be greasy but are usually quite good. Wife seems to like the chili and gluten-free pizzas. Staff are always awesome characters with a (fun, good) personality. Usually some game is on the TVs, and depending on time of day/week/year the crowd varies. Go visit. Breweries are closing because the younger generation's drinking less. You don't have to drink a ton, just support a local place with good food, vibe, and drinks (there's plenty of NA things).

The atmosphere is just as amazing as the food. You can tell there are a lot of regulars because the staff knows them, and it creates such a warm, welcoming vibe. It feels so different from other restaurants I've been to in the best way possible. We'll continue coming back for sure!

We shared a pizza and ordered two pasta dishes, and they even let us order a full bottle of wine instead of just a glass. Today's special pizza featured a pistachio sauce--it was creamy, refreshing, not overly salty, and served in a generous portion for one to two people. The pizza dough itself have very strong firewood aroma, which is lovely. We ordered the Pappardelle Bolognese, and the unique, wide pasta truly set it apart from what you typically find at other restaurants. Since we were still hungry, we also tried the Rigatoni Alla Vodka, which came with spicy sausage. While I expected more of a vodka flavor, the bold kick of the spicy sausage made it intriguingly flavorful. We couldn't resist today's special dessert, the Panna Cotta. It had a distinctive gelatinous texture and even looked cute as it jiggled on the plate. This cozy spot is perfect for a date or a girls' night out--ideal for sharing a bottle of wine and enjoying the authentic Italian ambiance.

It wasn't super packed, but there were several groups around us, which made for a nice chill evening vibe. The first thing you notice walking in is the amazing smell of popcorn (which I liked - bonus points that it is also complimentary). The best part about this place is the "no commitment" tap wall. We were curious about a few different beers, so we would poured a tiny bit of each to taste test instead of being stuck with a full glass of something we didn't like. It's the perfect way to try a bunch of stuff without the pressure. This spot was the best way to kick off our weekend!

Second, the prices are way out of line with the TWaM store a few miles away. Their regular prices are so high that TWaM regular price beats their sale price by $5. I guess this is why employees eagerly ask what you're looking for and then walk you to it and grab it off the shelf for you. They don't want you seeing the high prices and walking out like I did. Don't even get me started on their bogo scam. Go elsewhere and maybe something useful will take their place when they finally move out. Compare 4 Roses small batch and small batch select with Bevmo and any other area retailers and you'll see. Small batch select is $86.99 at Bevmo, under $60 at TWaM. Even grocery stores beat these guys prices by as much as 30%. It's outrageous gouging and this company doesn't deserve anyone's business.

The onion rings were great by contrast (even though it said something about their 'house mojo sauce' on the menu but what I got was definitely plain bulk ranch) What made it so bad? First of all they used a stone ground mustard, but nothing with bite. It was super sweet almost to the point of being a honey mustard. Second, the pastrami looked good but tasted like thick cut ham. Seriously, this was a honey baked ham sandwich, no peppery flavor, no juicy fatness to it, it was the flavor and consistency of thick spiral cut ham...
