    Homemade flatbread makes for an excellent pizza! The build your own for $16.25 is an excellent deal. Place is busy with regulars for nightly events like poker, food specials, and pool league. Tortilla for birria tacos fell apart, making it messy to eat. Great draft beer options, a Touchtunes jukebox, friendly waitstaff, and plenty of places to sit. I'm looking forward to trying other things on their menu with future visits!

    This is my fave local bar to swing by for late night bites & a night cap. Ashley is such a fun bartender & brings a vibe. I popped in & had a Paloma & wings tonight & they were really yummy! The menu definitely is better than about a year or so ago.

    I've avoided this place due to some of the negative Yelp reviews, but after realizing the food is from Pogacha I figured I'd give it a shot. And I'm really glad I did! First off, the service was great. I entered the restaurant hesitantly thinking I'd leave if the vibe was off, but was immediately welcomed by the bartender once I stepped through the door which I wasn't expecting. I then thought I'd just grab a beer and looked for a beer menu, which is on a display near the bar with 20 beers. Granted, most are $8 except for a few which are less, but that's not too crazy. At this point I decided I was all in and ordered food. I knew I wanted some of the Pogacha bread which they make fresh, so I ordered a sandwich which was great. The bartender even confirmed details of my order to ensure she got it right. The regulars were friendly on a Sunday afternoon which was a random but welcomed. I've heard they have an awesome patio which I look forward to visiting this summer!

    Worst food ever. They made the five cheese pizza without a drop of sauce. Save your money and just eat ketchup on cardboard, it would have more flavor than what they make.

    Pub 85 is a dive bar with a hidden outdoor space in the back. Who knew! Located in Kirkland, I've passed by this on, you guessed it, NE 85th street, and when I finally stopped in, we had a fun time here. Just don't expect anything glamourous or good food. I like dive bars. I like craft beers on tap. I like sports playing on the tube. And chill people. All of these you will find at Pub 85. We came here on a Wednesday evening to find a late night place for beer and food after learning Pub 85 had outdoor seating. Staff was super friendly and they navigated us towards the outdoor space in the back, which was huuuuge. The entire place was covered with heat lamps around and some tables with its own fire pit in the middle, which is where my friend I ended up sitting. Plus, there were TVs outside, so you never have to miss a game, even during COVID-19. Beers were good. They had a long list of just about anything you'd want. You know me, a true Washingtonian. I stuck with the IPAs, which they had plenty of. But they have a full bar here, so no complaints about the draaanks. However, food was meh. My friend and I had dinner here, which may have not been the best choice. We ordered beef nachos, mozzarella sticks, chicken strips and tots. All of the food was overcooked and dry. Chicken strips and tots were cooked too long in the fryer, so the texture was off. Beef and tortilla chips on the nachos were dry. But the mozzarella sticks were our saving grace, as they were what you'd expect from mozz sticks. I wouldn't get food here again. All in all, Pub 85 isn't too shabby. I'm glad the bar has a found a way to survive during the pandemic, with its ample seating outside. And the staff was super chill and friendly. I'd come back for drinks, but gotta eat elsewhere.

    Chicken wings 3/5

    FOOD REVIEW ONLY *pub pizza 3/5 *chicken strips 3/5 *chicken wings 3/5 *chicken quesadilla 3/5 -pub Pizza I would say is the most bang for your buck. Pizza is fine not great but not bad. Kind of like food court Pizza. -chicken strips aren't as good as Safeway but they're moist and the portion size is good. Came out hot -chicken wings need some kind of sauce or seasoning but came out super hot and we're still fun -chicken quesadilla was my least favorite of these. Just not anything I would get again. Edible but next to these other things I didn't eat much of it Great bar with a very nice staff and good prices and fun local beers. Really good feel to it

    Chicken Strips  Apparently this is their lunch time portion..... even after you pay more to add tots...  #wheresthefood?
    Kristin B.

    Well I've always enjoyed the food from pub 85, today I was so disappointed in my lunch order! Ordered chicken strip basket, and got three nice size pieces of chicken but nearly each of them were burnt. Then I also splurged and upgraded to tots for an additional fee and got a child size handful of them. Less is more??

    Beer is decent, bartenders/owners are nice, only bad part is service is super slow even when it's…read morenot terribly busy because of how they're set up with 2 counters and only 1 bar, so if you're not really aggressive you will just get passed over. Somehow that's part of the charm though; I've been coming by a few times a year for over a decade and haven't yet been disauaded. There's a couple of high top tables on the fully indoor side and big 8 person tables in the beer garden area which extends from the warehouse to the parking lot. No food in house but they do have food trucks occasionally (mostly on the weekends). Apparently, this entire location is closing in December. The brewing operation is moving to Bremerton and the taproom is not planned to be reopened. I suspect this was announced suddenly by the private equity firm that bought the brewery out a couple years back, as all the customers today seemed surprised and there was even a sign on the wall with December event dates printed and then crossed out after the fact. I feel terrible for the employees as I imagine none or basically none of them have kept their employment given the distance from Redmond to Bremerton. Even though this isn't my favorite brewery in town I'm sad to see them go after 30+ years here, one of the original microbreweries

    Superb service, decent beers, dog and kid friendly. If you show up with your four-legged friend…read morethey'll take a photo and next time you come in you can find it on the wall. Good luck because they're running out of real estate in there and the walls are dense with cuteness. I think they have a food truck on the weekends, though sadly not on our visit. And you can do a free tour of their brewery on Saturdays at 3pm. They also have a couple wine options in case the beers aren't doing it for you. The only major bummer is that they serve beverages in plastic cups. Really not a fan of that at all.

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!
