    Came by for some drinks with friends on a Saturday night and had a great time. We parked out front which was quite convenient and were able to grab some tacos from the food truck right outside. We got drinks inside, my friends really enjoyed the beige Belgian, but I enjoyed a lovely Frose. We got tacos outside and my friends and I got food from the taco truck. We got one asada taco, pastor taco, and a quesabirria. The portions were huge so that was nice. We sat outside which was cute but after a while it got windy and quite cold. The inside is kinda small and they had a music singalong so we sat outside. Also I had a hot chocolate, but that was alright since it was swissmiss so just alright and pretty watered down. Staff was nice.

    I didn't realize Old Stove had a location here. It's a fun spot and rustic in the best way. It's a a great option for watching baseball on a sunny summer afternoon or evening. They had a DJ performing which was kinda fun, looks like they might do live music too. The Hazy IPA was delicious. The folks behind the bar were super friendly and helpful. I'd stop by here any time I was in the area for a pint!

    I usually rate mostly based off the TASTE of food or drink at an establishment. However, after awhile, I realized that when it comes to breweries, I have to put a higher value on atmosphere. Breweries have become more of a hangout than just a place to sit and judge beer, with my most constructively critical evaluations. So yeah... I'm trying to chill out. With that said, I don't love the beer here, but it's the ambiance that has convinced me to return. Yes, it's summer in Seattle, so it's gorgeous and this place has a wonderful outdoor area. I don't know how I'll feel about it once the gray returns, but I'll enjoy this while it lasts. The staff was patient, and they let me sample some beer before buying. I've tried the amber (eh, alright), the keylime sour (decent), a couple IPA's (eh, alright... but I'm not a huge IPA fan anyway), and the frosé slushie (heads up, there's no price listed that I could see, so I was surprised it was $12 for a cup, but I shouldn't have been surprised). It was served with an umbrella on a straw. Dammit, that made me happy. It also tasted good, but could've been stronger. So I really come for the open outdoor space. There's both an uncovered area to soak up the sun, and a covered area with a big tv where you can catch up on sports. I can feel the "ship canal" vibe with the old buildings and water nearby (which isn't visible from the brewery, but it's a short walk). There's even a pleasant little flower area along the border that I like to stare at as the performer provides awesome background music to my thoughts. Oh yeah, there's live music on Fridays. It isn't overcrowded, there's usually a food truck, and so far we haven't had trouble finding parking, although it is on a gravel lot. Overall, thumbs up.

    This spot is great. A giant outdoor area, TV for sports, a really friendly and knowledgeable beertender, and a big sun/water roof. I'm having a hazy pale and it's citrusy and fantastic.

    I didn't even know this place existed! It was awesome. the staff were all friendly, the outdoor area was awesome, and the sours I drank were delicious! The selection wasn't HUGE for those Seattle beer snobs who need a big menu, but as a non-picky sour drinker, I loved it! They have cute merch, LOTS of room to sit outside, a big TV screen for sporting events, and even outdoor games to keep your snot-nosed children busy while you drink beer! I am also a firm believer in having food options necessary while drinking, and they had a small, yummy-looking menu, as well as a rotation of food trucks! I have already recommended this place to others.

    This is a neat location for a brewery, and they have a lot of space between the indoor and outdoor seating. The indoor seating has a vintage chic bar feel with the vintage signs on the walls and the cool sofa and chairs as well as tables if you like. They have some snack options but also have a food truck rotation going on, however, the truck that was supposed to be there at the time we were there was a no show, so no feedback on that. They are VERY dog friendly. I feel like this is one of those places that visitors and tourists would seek out if they want to hang out with the "locals" as opposed to the chaos at Pike Place. This is the best of Old Stove, local and loved.

    A nice brewery some good beer and dog friendly brewery. What more could one ask for while spending some good time with friends. They have indoor seating and nice patio seating too with heaters. Love their Belgian Blonde beer it is my fav. There usually is a food truck outside to grab some food. We always have a good time here.

    Love this new spot off Nickerson! They've added indoor seating since my last visit as well as outdoor tvs. A great place for a date or large gathering of friends. There's typically food options available and a number of old stove beers to choose from. The staff were super friendly. We sat outside on plentiful benches and played corn hole. Visit soon! The beautiful flowers around the seating area will be gone for the season before we know it.

Monday is a busy day as it is ALL DAY HAPPY HOUR and there are real happy hour savings here. How about a cheeseburger with a generous side of fries for $8.95????? The fries were great, hot and crispy, with sides of ketchup and spicy ranch. The burger was real and honest, two of my highest compliments for a cheeseburger. Made to order exactly right. Bun was toasted and smeared with aioli and had a nice crisp. Solid toppings of lettuce, two slices of tomatoes, red onion, and several pickle chips. These were presented on the side so I could dress the burger as I liked. The whole thing was delicious. I had a well gin and tonic at the HH price of $8.95. Overall, a very good meal and a great deal. I was greeted as soon as I walked in, the busy bartender acknowledged me as soon as I sat down, and I was immediately drawn into conversation by the regulars on either side of me. As I often eat out solo, I'm used to striking up conversations with strangers, but I didn't have to make much effort here. Fun company! Solo eaters are welcome. I'll be back and I definitely recommend!

We were promptly greeted, grabbed a booth with its own TV, and got the first round of drinks going. While service lagged a bit through the stay I have a hard time complaining too much. To be honest we were a bit slower drinkers compared to some of the patrons, so I can see why were left a bit to our own. The food was outstanding. My wife crushed the quesabirria tacos (such bright and floral tasting shredded beef) and I had an incredibly tasty and overly filling Cod fish and chips. The only complaint I can really lob is towards the restroom space. Forgive me a minutes for getting on a soapbox here - but what is it about sprots bars and restrooms? I get that guys (and gals) can be pigs. I also get that this is a low priotity / non revenue generating space. But could you please spend just a little time / money on bleach, paint, and some decent fixtures? I know people are AWFUL and are always destroying things, no matter how well built and durable it is. But I just hate it when bars and resturants fail to update restrooms. Buckely was no exception. The excellent food quality sticker on the doors, the service and drink choice (and the outstanding meal on my table) speak to your ability to put together great quality and safety processes in the kitchen. It would be great if you could spend a bit of that same effort in bring up the standard in restroom. OK rant off! Great place and we will be back regardless.

These are the best cheese curds ever bc the batter isn't heavy like other cheese curds I've had. It's tempura battered so it's light and you can taste the cheese more. The jalapeño strawberry dip and ranch are good dips, but try them together and it will blow your mind. The fried green beans were okay. They did have a heavier batter on them and I wish they had the same batter the cheese curds had. The spicy dip was good! The rosemary popcorn was delicious! It had just enough butter and the perfect amount of rosemary where it's not overpowering. Once you get to the bottom, there's tons of butter and you just dip and soak it up with the popcorn. Also, PATTI was AMAZING!!!! She checked in on us throughout the evening. She's very sweet and I will be back bc of Patti!

Parking was free and plenty of it on the streets. I visited on Super Bowl Sunday, about 2-3hrs before the game to get seats. This was a good idea because there was only a handful of seats available. We were lucky enough to get a table for 4 of us. The hosts were very welcoming and go us seated at the bar when it was only two of us. When we informed them about an hour prior to kick off that we needed two more seats, they did their best to get us seated. It was very kind of them to even look around, let alone actually find us space. This was very much appreciated. The first hour or so, when there was only two of us, we had a few beers, the cheese curds and the chicken fried steak with potatoes. The beers were exactly what you think they would taste like and they weren't terribly expensive which was nice. The cheese curds were a great shareable item, good flavor and a fair amount of them. The chicken fried steak was good, nothing crazy, but not below average. Portion was good sand it was cooked right to have that nice crips on the outside with the gravy poured over top. I think the only thing I wasn't that big of a fan of was the potatoes, I should've opted for the tots or hash potatoes instead, but I'll have to try it again. Yes, I would recommend this place. Seems like a good place to meet with friends for a game and meet friends. I almost forgot to mention they have an outside area in the back was is covered so there's more than enough space to maneuver and enjoy your time.

I made a reservation ahead of time, but when we got there around 8 pm we realized we probably didn't need one because it was seat yourself and still pretty open. No complaints though, it made it easy to grab a table and settle in. The vibe was cool. Definitely a sports bar feel with TVs around, and as the night went on the DJ started getting set up which I can imagine makes it a fun spot on a Friday night for people meeting up after work or hanging out with friends. We decided to share a few things so we could try a little bit of everything. We ordered the catfish bites, lemon pepper wings, garlic parmesan wings, and macaroni and cheese. I'll start with the positives because the service was great. Everyone we interacted with was friendly and helpful, which always makes a difference. Food-wise, it just didn't totally hit for me. The catfish bites had a really tasty batter, but the texture threw me off a little. I personally like my catfish cooked a little harder, and these were a bit soft for my liking. The lemon pepper wings were a little too salty for me, and the wings themselves weren't cooked quite the way I like them. I tend to like my wings cooked a little harder, so these felt a bit soft and bulky to me (if that makes sense). The garlic parmesan wings were okay flavor-wise, but still similar in texture. The macaroni and cheese was okay. Nothing bad, just pretty standard. The menu itself has a good mix of comfort food and bar favorites like chicken and waffles, shrimp & grits, burger & fries....so there are definitely options to try. Overall, the service were great, the vibe was cool and I can definitely see this being a fun spot once the DJ gets going and the place fills up. The food just didn't quite land for me personally this time. I gave it 3 stars, but if Yelp allowed half stars it would probably be closer to a 3.5 for me. I'd still be open to coming back and trying a few other things on the menu.
