I got a Lucky Envelope pumpkin emoji draft and then wandered around staring at all the beers in the cases. I grabbed the four I wanted most and having finished my pint I took off before I decided I needed more beer. The place has a lot of seating for it's size. It's really well kept. The lady behind the counter was pleasant. All in all it was a good experience. The selection is really where they shine.

No heating elements necessary on this day as it was hot and humid in this early afternoon. I was impressed by their board that lists everything on tap with ABV and IBU as well as prices for all ranges of sizes that they offer. They had 2 stout options and I tried a 5 oz. Extra Loud Irish Stout Nitro ($3.50). Lady bartending was friendly enough and answered questions well, although my 5 oz was 4 oz of foam when she handed it to me, so patience before drinking was necessary. If you like Guinness, it very much reminded me of that, although I prefer my stout more sweet and less coffee-esque.

There are several beers and some ciders on tap from all around and all the ipa's I've tried here have been pretty decent. from there you grab your brew and have a seat at high top tables within the tap room. Again, the setting is mid-sized good for a couple groups of four and a few two person tables. Music is at a decent volume and is lit dimly making it decent for a date spot or just a place to have conversation without raised voices. Fridges line the tap room so you can mix and match beers, ciders and wines to take out which is cool. I like Bottleworks, I want to enjoy it more, but there are some issues holding me to 3 stars. The staff are...alright. Not bad, but I feel could be a little friendlier. Also they don't allow sample pours? This is a common thing at most breweries, but maybe it's because this is a tap room, but beers run a bit higher here - $8-9 a pour so that's annoying that you can't even try a couple. Lastly, they rotate things out it seems weekly. Some of the more popular options I suppose they keep but seems like a lot of turn around on the drinks so if you like something they have on tap, don't get too attached. Perhaps on subsequent visits It will improve, and I can boost the score here, but besides the decent beers and setting, it's just OK here.

One of the best bottle shops in the country!…read more I've had many of Bottleworks' anniversary beers in the past because they always team up with stellar breweries to make them.. but before today I have never visited the famous shop. It's smaller than I imagined it to be but every beer inside, from the draft list to the cans and the bottles are carefully curated by the staff. We grabbed a quick beer (Hill Farmstead, which is the first time I've seen this brewery for sale in the since I started this trip 6 weeks ago and Ive been through 4 states) Then we shopped for some cans, we quickly had to refrain from buying too much as the refrigerator in our van only holds so much. We ended up with a six pack and then grabbed a mystery 4 pack on the way out (mystery 4 pack was stellar). While we're shopping they opened a sour from Jester King and shared it with us. I honestly wish I lived a bit closer (Las Vegas is kinda far) because I'd be here everyday... Honestly, they have a whole cooler just for barley wine! The staff are very knowledgeable about beer and are very hospitable. Thanks for a great experience!

Their tap list rotates frequently, but they have a large selection which means there's usually something for everyone. My one wish is that you could sample before committing. My go-to order is a bacon grilled cheese, but I remove the smoky aioli & ask for a side of serrano pepper jelly to dip it in instead. But everything on their menu is good, including their specials which change maybe every few months or so. Most recently we came in last night around ~7:20p w/ a group of 9 & were quickly seated at the big picnic table.

TIm a black man and I went to the store to buy ice cream with a Caucasian friend of mine and as I'm waiting at the counter with my merchandise he was still deciding what to buy and one of the employees an Asian man who ended up telling me that he owned the place told me to wait outside and get out. With an aggressive attitude. I complied and once my friend gets to the counter to buy his merchandise he asked the man why he told me that and he said that he didn't trust me and continued to say something about me being black and a hoodlum a nice older lady cut him off and said to him he was wrong for what he said and did. I'm never going to spend my money at that establishment again and I advise anyone else does as well read more

This 'convenience' store exists solely because of the land it's on. The only thing more abysmal than the prices is the Despicable Me looking clerk that makes sure that you know how much he hates having to serve you. I've been to this store several times and the same clerk has always had the same snobby attitude. We get it, you're not working at your dream job, we've all been there. But if treating your customers like human beings is that much of an inconvenience then go work at a place where you don't have to talk to people. read more

Take 5 offers a lot of variety including breakfast sandwiches, hot sandwiches, soup, dessert case and cookies to name a few. The house made cookies are $1.00. The breakfast sandwich was delish! Meatloaf wrapped with bacon, egg and cheese tucked between a grilled English muffin. It's a filling sandwich for $9.75. I've come to the conclusion that $10.00 is the going rate for a decent breakfast sandwich in Seattle. Take 5 is run by a friendly husband and wife duo.

I'm usually not one to shy away from pickles in my burgers, but the taste was pretty overwhelming in these and by the end of the meal I was soured out. fortunately, the Hershey's kiss they gave us after the meal really saved the day. for the price i wasn't super impressed by the quantity. but it's a very cute spot and I'm looking forward to checking out what else ballard has to offer!

My Favorite Deli... more like my least favorite deli lol…read more I ordered the farmers burrito in a bowl and an iced latte with oat milk. It was a delivery that took more than 30 minutes to arrive, so that might have contributed to the subpar quality of the food, but I doubted how much better it would have been even if it were fresh. I couldn't make myself finish either the burrito bowl or the coffee. The farmers burrito bowl is a mix of meat (sausage, bacon, and ham) with hash browns, eggs, and your regular burrito fillings in a bowl. The hash browns threw me off the most - they were completely pale and soggy, which made me question if they were even cooked. There was a generous portion of meat, but the bacon was very burnt. The eggs were definitely overcooked as they tasted super rubbery. Since the iced latte was fine, I bumped this place to a 2/5 but overall did not enjoy the food.
