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.

They have a range of beers to suit most tastes, and, unlike some brewpubs, have a range of alcohol contents so that you can pick one that works for you. Staff is knowledgable and friendly. I ordered from them for delivery during the pandemic! They don't have food on site--except peanuts and potato chips, but they encourage bringing your own food or patronizing the food trucks that are scheduled on a rotating basis. If I didn't live in North Seattle, I'd patronize them more, but it's still worth the drive to support this wonderful pub.

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.

They also have root beer on tap, which is adorable and great as they are angling for a family hang out vibe.

Came to this pretty small brewery. Great Notion has a few locations in the Pacific Northwest,…read moreincluding this one in Georgetown. It may not have a ton of space inside, but it also has a patio. Has a lot of beers to choose from. The prices are kind of high with it being a smaller local brewery that focuses more on quality than on quantity. A pretty impressive list of beers. It's got a lot of unusual styles and flavors. There's fruity and plenty of others that sound unique. Beers are good. It's about $8 a pint. That's kind of a lot, but this is a smaller brewery though. It's a few bucks off certain pints at happy hour. Last time we got a few, and they had some pretty crazy sounding ones. Best of these was the Blueberry Muffin. This is a sour with blueberries obviously. Beers are pretty easy to find around here, but this is one of the best. It's located on Airport Way at Albro Place. This is located next to Deep Sea, the bakery with cupcakes and other treats.

Bartender was kind, and the food came out fresh. We ordered the buffalo wings and a side of fries, wings tasted great, only thing I would change is to double fry (personal preference) so they are crispy but trust me, if I forget to ask for double fry they will STILL be delicious, the fries were good, salty in my opinion but with aioli as the dip they were good. Overall I will definitely return, the prices and service was good and the food was delicious, we seen a burger and a salad go to other tables and they both looked worth trying next time.

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.

I'm actually not a bagel guy, nor do I ever think about them when it comes to grabbing a quick bite somewhere but this was a perfect opportunity to try it again. There was an assortment of bagels, and I got half of an everything bagel and - the one that several of my coworkers highly recommended - the rosemary bagel. Both go well with cream cheese. - The everything bagel was pretty standard; I could taste the garlic and sesame seeds throughout. Garlic was quite powerful on this one though, and I almost thought of garlic bread until I remembered bagels are harder to chew on. - My favorite was the rosemary bagel, just like my coworkers. I could taste the herbs clearly on this one; it was aromatic yet a little bitter. It was balanced with the saltiness already present on the bagel. Since I didn't go to their physical location - which looks like quite a walk from Georgetown - I have yet to see the inside of this place. Having some of their bagels makes me wanna go check it out someday!
