Started with a sampler. 5 beers of my choosing. I prefer less-hoppy, and the range of light-to-dark beers I chose (based on bartendress recommendations) met this criteria. Especially enjoyed the Kolsh and the Chocolate Porter. SERVICE: 4.0. Great advice on the beers. AMBIANCE: 4.0. Large enclosed patio. Inside features 1960's and earlier automotobile-related decor. OK music playing at polite volume. 2 muted video screens, one above the other: the top played sports and then an action movie, while the bottom screen displayed a calming string of enchanting Bob Ross videos. Slightly baudy yet pleasant automobile-related artworks in the men's restroom.

Service is always great. Lots of games to play. And they always have the big games on. Good music when there are no games. Good place to stop after a Costco run at Issaquah Costco.

Oooooh, I really want to love this place more than I did…read more I do like the really neat warehouse feel when walking in for ordering. I do feel that for the weather and time of year maybe close out some of the doors or windows so it's not as chilly inside? The options are... ok? I would love to see a little more variety but I did come here for breakfast so I'm going to review the breakfast bagels. The bagels themselves are ok? I have no real complaints for this style of bagels and the different varieties are pretty standard. I took my order to go and by the time I got home it was a little cold but that's not taking a points off here. My complaint here is the bagel just seems, underwhelming. The filling just seem wimpy and I got more bagel than a balanced breakfast bagel. It's really disappointing to be eating a lot of bagels when I wanted a balance. Finally, this would all be ok if the price wasn't so high. Seriously it is a bagel filled with the most basic ingredients. The new hey bagel place that has a line out the door is cheaper for bagels.

Formula Brewing is a fantastic brewery and company. Hosted my high school reunion here last month…read moreand Ed, Danny, and team were on top of it! With no minimum amount or venue fee (just 20% auto gratuity), Formula was the easy choice to host a large event - plus they have plenty of parking in the back! The drink choices here are phenomenal- they have a large beer selection but they also serve cocktails, lemonade, slushies, and other non-alc drinks making it a family friendly place. My favorite was the Tieton Huckleberry Cider on tap! They also make their sourdough pizza in-house and have vegan options too. Service is fantastic and all bartenders and staff were super friendly and accommodating. They have lots of indoor and outdoor seating with plenty of tables and benches. Dogs are invited in the beer garden :) Thanks Ed, Danny, and Team for a wonderful and seamless reunion. Will definitely recommend and consider you for the next big event. Overall: 5/5 for drinks and food, 5/5 for service, 5/5 for atmosphere

Im like what time do you close? She says "well we're cleaning up after the comedy show. Hmm ok. So i see a group that were alreasy there come and order more drinks. Then a couple walk in and get set at a table and they order drinks. Then i ask a bartender what time you close. She goes ummm, the owner says about 1030/1045. WTF?? so after i finish my beer and walk out, a black lady stops me and asks? how do you think the service was? I tell her what happened, and she goes, " I felt the same vibe" If that's the case, just put a fuckin sign on the door. I can respect that more.

The Black Duck is quickly becoming my favorite restaurant and bar in Issaquah. I can vouch for the…read moremushroom burger and the duck pizza, as well as some of the whiskey cocktails. The burger is thick and really juicy, great bun and aioli. The fries are perfectly crispy. The pizza had a really great, I'm assuming wood-fired, crust. The duck was tender and sweet and there was a lot of arugula. It's a sparser craft pizza, which is just so delicious when you are looking for something a little heavy but not over the top. While they boast about their craft beer offerings, they have a great cocktail list as well, and I love that they have a specific whiskey cocktail section as well, with a few that are less common at some bars. The Brooklyn is probably my favorite, but you can't really go wrong. Also, a fellow patron asked for a Toronto and the bartender was happy to look it up and make it for him. And what about the atmosphere here?! It's so wonderful in summer! With its narrow design giving a sense that an entire wall opens to the outside and the patio that extends beyond, it feels Ike you are vacationing somewhere tropical and beachy. This somehow combines really well with the industrial vibe of the interior. They also have some TV's for sports. The service is very friendly, attentive, interactive, and helpful. One thing that was consistent across my three visits, however, was the feeling that the place is always understaffed, so things tend to move slowly. I'm not sure this is the case, it's just the feel you get when it happens the times you visit. This is a bit of a double-edged sword though, since it's such an easy place to just want to sip and nibble slowly while delving into conversation. So, that's not enough to detract a star for now, and honestly I'm already thinking about when I get to eat here again!

Their website was easy to navigate to find out which food truck would be there and when. We ordered our food first then handed inside to warm up before picking up our order. The space was really spacious and nice. The vibes were warm and cozy with a large TV projector screen playing sports, good music and all types of seating and tables. They have a dog water bowl near the front where you can also get water with clean cups nearby too! You can also tell it is a beloved location as it was getting quite busy and there were children, dogs, and adults enjoying the space and time with one another. We got two 10oz Diamond Knot root beers which was divine! I recently started drinking root beer from breweries and I am a huge fan, as I think brand named root beer is gross. The drink paired really well with our soul food order. The bartender was really polite and seemed to be good friends with his regulars which is a good sign. I asked him where we should put the drinks and he politely let me know to the side of where he served me would be great and there is a sign to put empty glasses as well. We will look forward to visiting when we can as we are all the way from Tacoma but it is definitely worth coming back to!

They offer happy hour all day on Sundays, and since they don't take reservations, it's first come, first served. We arrived a little after 2 PM and there was plenty of open seating inside and out. This location is in the Spring District, which is super convenient if you're taking the light rail since it drops you off right there. It's located next to a park like plaza with a small grassy area and little water fountains. According to their website, kids are welcome in the restaurant and patio areas until 8 PM (but not in the bar area), which makes this a nice family friendly spot earlier in the day. Later on, the vibe seems like it would be perfect for catching a game, grabbing drinks with friends, and enjoying a more energetic brewery atmosphere. We started with two Moscow mules. Since that's one of our go to drinks and we've had quite a few, these weren't our absolute favorite here. They leaned more on the lime heavy side, and we weren't sure if the ginger beer was just a little flat. That being said, we still finished them! The Birria nachos were the highlight for me! They were so delicious, and the beer cheese sauce was SO good. I honestly just wished there was more of it because it added such a great flavor. My only small complaint is that I wish the toppings were spread out a little more evenly so every bite had a good mix, but overall they were still really tasty. The Mac Attack was also good, but it didn't completely wow us. If you're looking for an ultra thick, super creamy mac and cheese, this probably isn't that style. Still, it was a solid dish and enjoyable! Overall, we had a great first visit and would definitely come back to try more of the menu. Great location right in the heart of the Spring District with a fun atmosphere!
