Souliphanh V.

One of my customers recommended this Burger restaurant. My favorite is the crispy tater tots. Burger was pretty good, I got the blue cheese with bacon, which was kind of chewy. In defense of the cooks, I came in late 8pm before closing time of 9pm so it's understandable. Limited parking available, one way street near the university area.

Mushroom Swiss Burger

Solid burger spot. Fire onion rings. (Get these over the fries.) Yum milkshakes. Lots of burger and milkshake options.

OK, it's my son's birthday. He wanted a burger. I heard about this place for the last 10 years never really went, but we went and got him a big old double cheeseburger with bacon. It was amazing. The service was good even though there was a few lacking issues like they forgot to cook our Burger and the burger was like $15 fries were separate. That was an extra five milkshake was like an extra five my beer was like an extra six so it was a little overpriced. The ambience was a nice little local burger place. It wasn't super busy, but it's a small business that I definitely will go back and support. We were very pleased. We ate them there and took the rest to go. I would definitely suggest them, but parking was difficult.

Bacon and Blue Cheese Burger (with a bite or two out so you can see the yummy goodness)
Leslie H.

Yumm! Been eyeing this spot for years always intending to stop. Yesterday I was in the right spot and HUNGRY! Got a blue cheese bacon burger and oh my goodness! Heavenly! Order at the counter and the cashier will bring your order to you. Staff is friendly and clearly have many regulars as they chatted up customers. I didn't realize there were tables til I stepped inside. Basic seating about 8 tables but tables and chairs were wiped down and clean. Don't be put off by the downbeat exterior (or basic interior), the food is Great!

Delicious burgers and friendly service! Got their cheeseburger and loved it! Burger was tasty and sauces are delicious! Fries are also really good! 10/10 would come back again for a burger!

Sonics Burger Sweet Potato Fries
Christine C.

Rain city burger is located in a convenient location in Roosevelt! I got the sonics burger and some sweet potato fries. My total was $17 which I thought was a little steep for burgers and fries. The food was good, but also nothing special. They do have an extensive menu though so I would be interested in trying their other burgers! The service was fast and there was lots of seating in the restaurant.

I stopped in here for a quick bite when my friend and I couldn't decide on what to eat! I feel like you can't go wrong with burgers and they were decent!! I also liked the fries, I normally don't go for thick cut but they had a good bite to them. I ordered the ABLT ($10.64) and it was smaller than I expected. With that said I was full and satisfied by the end! My friend got a burger with the fries and paid ~$20 and didn't think it was worth it. It definitely gives small local shop vibes. The area it's located in (roosevelt) is really peaceful! It's been hard for me to find a lot of burger places in seattle, so it's worth checking out if you're in the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come back.

Grilled Cheese Sandwich Tater Tots
Diana C.

Grabbed take out here on my way home. Though they have a whole veggie burger menu, it's only boca burgers or a black bean burger, which are not particularly appetizing choices as a vegetarian of over a decade. There are tastier and better quality veggie burgers out there. Because of that, I ordered a grilled cheese and tots, which were quite tasty! The shake was also pretty good and was made freshly. The pricing was pretty reasonable for the area. They got my food out pretty quick even though I was a walk in for the take out order. There is space to eat in if you'd like too, with a lot of brightly colored tables and chairs.

Went to Ladd and Lass for the first time last weekend and it was fantastic! I had two beers, a…read moreHelles and a Czech Pilsner. They were both crispy, delicious, and totally hit the spot for a warm Seattle day! The staff was super friendly. More than happy to answer questions so we could pick beers we'd enjoy. The space is open and clean. Tons of seating options, a projector, games, and lots of amazing snacks. I was SO happy to see they had Gochiso snack mixes!! These are my favorite and so hard to find. It's awesome that they are carrying a local snack brand. Can't wait to come back and bring my dog next time!

Outside food is welcome, the ballgame's on the tube, and you can play shuffleboard and other stuff to wile away the hours. Regular trivia nights and other events. Wines, ciders, seltzers, and candy also available. In long When he first started selling beers, he made a lot of saisons. For some of us, those dry, funky Belgians are where your palate finds home after trying every beer style. Only some of us, though. They can be hard to sell after a while, especially these days. So now the lineup here runs to lots of gorgeous, refreshing lagers, some explosively-flavorful hoppy stuff, and the occasional big chewy high-abv ale. For a saison whore like me, this is kinda like learning Michelangelo doesn't paint anymore, he just gets down with sculpture now. Not a tragedy by any means, but we still feel the absence. But why are saisons not the huge seller that IPAs are? Well, in part, 'cause old heads like me cut out beer. I did, anyway. I came out of retirement yesterday afternoon to try Nick's beers 'cause they had a Washington Cheese release event at the brewery yesterday. (Can't wait to try those, by the way). I checked out a landbier, german pils, west coast pils, and a hazy IPA. All wonderful, refreshing, and without flaw. We had a couple other beers at the table, along with a seltzer and wine. There's nothing here I wouldn't have again. The space is a good size--seating here, bar back there, brewhouse off to one side, more seating up the ramp in back. They had the Olympics on the flat screens and projector. There are board games and cards near the bar, and shuffleboard upstairs. This was another brewery before, and that brewery put in the shuffleboard table and at least some of the brew equipment. You can still see the name of the old brewery here and there. L&L is an even better source of beer IMO. Somewhat infamously, this space was also a funky dive bar and a, uh, gentleman's club in decades gone by. No trace of either of them remain. The folks who run this place are friendly and fun, and there aren't too many places making beer this good. They even have a great knack for designing cool labels (all done in house!). Highly recommended.

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.

It's been a while since I was at Human People Beer and I am just getting around to writing a review…read morefor it now. There isn't any good reason for it other than back log of reviews and I like to mix up my outings a bit and so the order I post reviews isn't always strictly chronological. Steve's and my experience with Human People Beer has been great! We have had their beer a few different times and we were always very highly impressed and I rated the ones I have had very highly on Untappd. Human People Beer also has a cafe where they serve food. I haven't had a significantly large meal here but the snack I had was fantastic. I will cover the beers first before proceeding to the food as I am a total beer nerd. One beer we had and loved was Neighbors. This is a Kolsch style beer and a great one! I found it very refreshing a great one to drink! Things to detect and have fun with in the flavor profile are maltiness, citrus, a great crispness and a clean finish. The mouthfeel with this one is very nice. Easily a favorite! The next beer I had was the Magick. This was a Hazy Pale Ale. I liked this one too. Perhaps not one I would classify as a favorite but a good one all the same. In the flavor look for elements of grapefruit, hoppiness, citrus and other fruitiness. It's an easy drinking beer where you could easily have more than one. Another beer that became an instant favorite for me was the Heavy Connection. This beer is a Brown Ale. I do enjoy getting this beer typed from time to time and this one proved to be a great return in having this beer again! With this beer look for flavors of coffee, maltiness, hazelnut and a breadiness. This beer is on the richer side but it is so, so good! The other beer that we have had... also a favorite( I am easily going to have lots of favorites here) was the Piknik Pilsner. I do love pilsners and it's so, so great having a really well made one. And this one definitely excels at being a good one! In the flavor profile it is roasty, bitter and crisp. The beer is aromatic and smooth. Another good one! And now onto the food. As I said I only had one item off of the food menu and feel like it was more on the snacky end of things but it was so, so good which really pushes my star rating hard in five star territory. I had Tahini Toast. It's something you don't see often and I haven't had it often but on occasions that I did I really liked it! With Human People you and this particular toast you get tahini, peanut butter, wildflower honey along with fresh fruit. It was so good that I fell in love with it madly! I feel like Human People Beer puts out a strong quality product in their food and drink and I look forward to more dining and drinking excursions with them!

Super cute bar/cafe! Comfy cozy vibe inside. Service is super quick…read more I learned about this place from Ba & Me's Vietnamese food pop up. I've been following Lisa @bamepopup on Instagram for so long -- I was enticed by she way she makes everything from scratch and the food did not disappoint! I ordered the Banh Canh, Banh Uot, and Che Chuoi for dessert. The Banh Canh was the perfect balance of savory, spicy, and homey -- think spicy udon noodle soup with homemade noodles and a perfectly simmered broth. The Banh Uot was satisfying and refreshing -- imagine thin rice cakes with fresh herbs, cucumbers, and a savory meat filling. The Che Chuoi was the perfect dessert. Slightly sweet, salty, and savory with a coconut and nutty topping. Although the vibe is pretty fast casual, I loved watching Lisa check in and connect with other guests while we dined. It's super clear that this goes beyond food for her; it's a passion and a way to connect with other folks. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and I'll definitely be back. Whether you're new to Vietnamese cuisine or a familiar friend, I highly recommend visiting Lisa at Ba & Me for your next fix. It truly feels like home!

20 MAY 2026 -- I performed poetry from Purple Rose: The Stars Carry Her Name -- Letters from Me to…read moreHer at the historic and legendary Blue Moon Tavern in Seattle. Originally opened in 1934, the Blue Moon carries the kind of atmosphere you cannot recreate -- walls covered in decades of music, art, stickers, photographs, and stories. A dimly lit room packed with musicians, writers, artists, and people who genuinely appreciate creativity in its raw form. Throughout the night, the stage moved between live music, poetry, and performances from local artists while the crowd filled the tavern from the bar to the stage floor. Places like this remind me why independent art still matters. As an author traveling all over the United States -- and as someone who lived in the Seattle area for 2 1/2 years -- standing on that stage reading poetry from Purple Rose in a venue with this much history behind it was really something special. What I loved most was how welcoming the environment was. This is a very LGBTQ-friendly, art-friendly space where people genuinely support one another. If you are brand new to open mics or nervous about sharing your work for the first time, this is the kind of place where you will absolutely be shown kindness and encouragement. There were so many talented musicians, poets, and performers there, and you could really feel the appreciation for creativity throughout the room. The setup of the tavern itself is awesome. The stage and seating area wrap around the bar in almost a U-shape, so you can really choose your own vibe for the night. If you want to stay close to the performances and music, there is a dance floor and table area near the stage. If you want something more relaxed, you can hang back near the bar, have a drink, and still enjoy the atmosphere without being directly in the middle of everything. They also have a full bar, arcade games, board games, books to read, and even a small library on the shelves throughout the tavern. Somewhere inside, you may even find a signed copy of Purple Rose that I left hidden and dedicated to the historic Blue Moon itself. Beautiful evening with wonderful people. If you are ever in the area and have a skill you would love to share, go share your art. Find your copy of Purple Rose at JamesVThePoet.com

I just had what is literally the worst bar experience I have ever had in my life at the Blue Moon…read moreTavern. I, my wife, and her friend stopped by for New Year's Drinks around 6, and about 6:30 or so, made the mistake of asking Tim Duvall, the clearly drunken before 7:00 PM owner of the establishment, whether outside food can be brought into the bar. This led to his regaling us with an extended and utterly unsolicited history of the bar. He then invited himself to sit with us, halfway into the seat before slurring a "Can I sit down?" to insert himself into our booth. We then moved to another unsolicited conversation, this time about politics. Now, to be clear - I have no doubt that I and a sober Tim Duvall probably agree on most of our politics. This did not stop him from berating me as I agreed with his point, loudly escalating and yelling as I tried to agree with him (again... to be clear, I DIDN'T disagree his political view) until he stood and began yelling that I was kicked out. As I stood to talk on him, he became VERY comfortable with putting his hands on me, grabbing my sweatshirt to move me. I was NOT about to challenge that as a Black man new to Seattle that doesn't know how the police would handle things. I need to be very specific about how quickly this man felt comfortable touching me, grabbing my sweater to "drag" me. This is the step that is WAY over the line. I would genuinely like to recommend this place, as I'm looking for bars that offer sugar cane soda. Drunken ownership- in the early evening in New Year's - that feels comfortable being handsy with Black folk is far too much. AVOID at all costs.
