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

My partner participated in a line dance event on the large outdoor patio; in the meantime I sat…read moreinside and had beer. Food truck was available. BEER: 4.0. 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.

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!

I'm sorry, but $18 for a double at a neighborhood dive bar is crazy. And charging the designated driver $4 for a soda water seems pretty excessive too. I'm all for businesses making money and I understand prices increase, but there's a difference between a price increase and prices that make you wonder if you're suddenly at an upscale cocktail bar.

I ordered a cosmopolitan and the bartender Kate was the absolute sweetest. She was worried about not making my drink correctly but she actually made it perfectly!! I loved every sip, it was the perfect amount of citrusy and sweet! My friend ordered a blue moon and was surprised when the bartender offered him an orange slice to go with it. He said it's supposed to come that way but normally bars don't offer the orange slice. My friend and I stuck around for hours chatting with the bartender and some of the other patrons. We even played a couple rounds of billiards. I love the local vibes at this bar. If I lived within walking distance, I would honestly come here more often. The atmosphere is cosy and everyone is so friendly.

I personally am not a huge fan of booth seating, but it's all they have. I was pretty grossed out that the booth was really crumby, I wish they cleaned them better. We started out with drinks, my best friend ordered the blue sparkler which i thought was really cute and she really enjoyed. I got the strawberry crush with a shot of Tito's which was dangerously delicious. It tasted like juice and I loved it. For appetizers, we got the fried cheese, which the menu claimed is the best cheese pull, and it delivered on that. I was obsessed with the ratio of breading to cheese; I'm not normally a huge fan of fried food, but this was so yummy! Maybe it was feral of me, but I mixed the ranch and the marinara together and dipped my fried cheese in, and it was totally bomb. The service here was really fast; our mains came out fairly quickly, while we were still finishing our appetizers, and both dishes were hot. My bestie ordered the grilled prawn avocado bowl, which looked absolutely delectable; her prawns looked perfectly grilled, and the avocados looked fresh and ripe. I ordered the prawn scampi linguine without the mushrooms and was obsessed with how flavourful it was. The shrimp was juicy and flavourful and I loved how creamy and garlicky the sauce was. The moment my dish got to the table I was dipping the garlic bread in the sauce and eating a bite of heaven. As someone who loves seafood, I love it when a restaurant gets it right, and I was really enjoying savouring my meal. I was still eating my lunch when our server, Marcus, tried to give us our check. I was so confused because I'd been really looking forward to getting dessert and more drinks. It made me feel rushed because I'd been looking forward to relaxing and chilling with our bestie. Our server apologised and took our bill back, but it was just so weird, I don't know why he didn't ask us first. For dessert, my bestie got the mile high mud pie, which looked so drool-worthy, I was honestly so jealous I didn't get it myself. Thankfully she let me steal some of hers and I loved it so much. I ordered the bread pudding, and while I loved the flavours and the ice cream, I feel like the bread pudding itself was super dense and dry in the middle. With dessert and while we were gossiping I ordered a tiramisu martini which was so rich and delectable, I loved how sweet the chocolate was, and the frozen texture made for the perfect drink. I can't wait to come back here with my bestie again soon!

This is not where I shop to pick up basics that I can get at the chains, but it is where I go if I want to surprise myself with a treat I have not tried, or buy a gift for someone deserving. A truly incredible selection of pretty much any kind of hard alcohol you desire. Lots of hard to find brands and bottles across all variety of spirits. I'd give them 4.5 stars if Yelp allowed it as the prices are on the high side of the higher-end of the scale so 5 stars doesn't feel quite right. I can usually find things they stock for less online, but then I have to deal with shipping and waiting. But I have to say, I don't think the 1 star reviews are justified just because of price. I know that rent, and other costs to operate in the Puget Sound are sky-high, so I've come to expect that if I buy retail that I have to pay the piper. Come here when you want to browse an amazing selection spirits and intend leave with something special that you just can't wait to try.
