    Sheppard's Pie
    Sidney P.

    This new hotspot in downtown Bothell has got it going on. Stopped in recently for a beer and a quick bite. We shared a delicious Sheppard's Pie with Soda Bread. Only one thing to say about this dish - YUM!!'

    I stopped by for a drink with friends and had a great time. They serve a wonderful selection of wine and beer from local spots, are dog friendly, and have lots of games and fun elements! The vibes in here are really fun, it's a great place to hang out with friends. We got a cozy couch spot and stayed for hours because we had so much fun! We had minimal interaction with the staff, but the times we were at the counter were pleasant. I will say, the prices are really inflated. It was like $20 per glass for wines that are sold in the wineries for $20 a bottle. Very pricey for what it is, but still has a good atmosphere.

    Already one of our regular spots to grab a good beer (great rotating tap selection - 1 beer feature per type) in a chill / casual loungey atmosphere right smack in the middle of hustling downtown Kirkland Plus board games. Plus live music. Even better? Confirmed cat friendly!

    Awesome Tangerine Pale Ale, a guest tap from Bellevue Brewing Company.

    This brewery was a good experience but in my mind it's more like a taphouse as they didn't have any of their own beer. I did a look on Untapped and the brewery appeared and had about three beer entries so they do make their own but it looks like it's in small amounts. Not to say our experience was unpleasant. I got a great Tangerine Pale Ale that the beertender said was from Bellevue Brewing Company. It gave me a reminder of how good that particular brewery is. Steve had a stout from another guest tap and that was great too! So they do a very good job bringing in great guest taps. Pretty much all of the guest taps were very local. They were mostly from breweries in the Seattle area and on the Bellevue side so that was good to see as many places have guest taps from breweries all over the country(not that I'm complaining about that). It was refreshing to see all beers involved were very local.

    Cool posters.

    Spacious and inviting brewery. Comfortable seating and games to play while enjoying a beer or cider. Large televisions playing sports games for the sports fans. Outside food allowed as they don't serve food. Loads of surrounding restaurants to choose from. Clean bathroom on the premises. Not a huge tap selection but the vibe is nice. The wall facing the street is a huge class window allowing for great views. In the summer it looks like it may open up to make the space feel even larger. Fun and inviting spot to enjoy a beer. On this visit I enjoyed a black lager. Smooth and delicious on a cold day. Cheers and happy Yelping.

    Good selection of beer. Fun that it's rotating breweries. They offer a small bites menu and wine, cider, kombucha and sparkling waters. Lots of seating and cool atmosphere- sort of like a pub, sort of PNW, sort of swanky. Music was at a good volume- loud enough to get the vibe but I wasn't shouting over my beer. Nice guy doing bar service. A couple TVs but not obnoxiously so. I'll go back because I like beer and it was super chill.

    You can never have enough options to grab a local beer! We visited Side Hustle right at opening on Sunday (3pm). The employee there was very friendly and helped us find the right drinks for our visit. She was happy to meet our dog and brought over a fresh bowl of water. Yes, dog friendly! The drinks here are from local breweries. They had a good variety and can make sure everyone in your party has something they will enjoy. The location is right above flatstick, but has a completely different atmosphere, so they certainly don't have to compete directly with each other. This seems like an excellent spot to grab a drink and chat with friends, and there is even some brand new board games available that you are encouraged to grab. Side hustle is a great new addition to the Kirkland waterfront!

    Cool beer mugs

    Bartender was super helpful. I tried a dark beer to start (porter?). Was on tap and was delicious. My coworkers tried an IPA and a Pilsner (both on tap). Everyone liked their beer. For my 2nd I tried a sour (from a can) which also tasted great. It was nice that there was a baseball game on the tv as well. Didn't try any snacks or food, but maybe next time. Great location in downtown Kirkland. And close to the water.

    Cute new bar that opened up in downtown Kirkland that is dog friendly! They serve local beers and wines and also have their own beers on tap too. Definitely a relaxing environment to come to after work with some friends. Their logo is so cute, but it has got to be Totoro inspired.

    We randomly decided to stop by for a couple of drinks and decided to order some foods with it…read more Surprisingly; the food was really good. We are used to mediocore foods at places like this; and to find the foods to be so delicious was very pleasant surprise. Service was great; we got seated right away and taken care of. We sat outside since it was a nice day and we had our pup with us. Plenty of seating inside and outside. And its right by the lake; (sunset was on point when we went) What we got: Fried kalamari (4.5/5) *not pictured Very creative! Its more of a fried calamari salad; served in a chinese style to go box; i think we found it cool. The calamari was nicely fried; and the breading has sesame seed powder? I think it was delicious! And pair it with the bitter leaves; and some kind of soy dressing. Fried smashed potato (5/5) Delicious! Love some good smashed and deep fried potatoes; and nicely pair with the morney sauce. 1/2 crab fried (5/5) This is sooooo good. It was nicely fried, plated and taste delicious with the aioli and fried basil and everything else that came with it. We also got a couple drinks that were pretty good (not picture) Lots of option when it comes to the drinks Overall it was a good choice to stop by here. Prices reflect the kind of restaurant it is and what it serves; no surprises there.

We counted about 20 TVs…read morein the restaurant and I kid you not, you can see a tv in just about every direction you look. There is truly no bad seat in the house. I also really enjoyed that you could hear the games too. The service was super fast despite there only being 2 servers. I ordered the adult coffee and it was basically a $9 espresso martini which is a steal to me. It was so delicious, I'm still thinking about how good it was a week later. I'll go back just for the adult coffee. As far as the food goes, Tony's is known for their wings and they have a wing in just about every flavor. I really like the lemon pepper wing but you can't go wrong with any one you get. All their sauces and rubs are made in house! We found out toward the end of our lunch that our server was actually the owner. We had been talking as a group about how friendly she was the entire lunch and when we learned she was the owner, it was the icing on the cake. She is so proud of her business and I see her going far. Overall, the vibes were great, the food and drinks were delicious, and our bill was shockingly super inexpensive despite the amount of food we ordered. I can't wait for my next trip to Tony's!

    My best friend and I decided to check out Legion because we kept hearing about it and wanted to see…read morewhat the hype was about. 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.

    I've been coming to this restaurant for years, which is why I chose it for my birthday brunch…read more Sadly, this visit was extremely disappointing. Even though we had a reservation for 12:00 PM, our group of six had to wait about 30 minutes to be seated. When we finally got a table, they put us in a small booth meant for four people. I asked for a bigger table, but was told all larger tables were reserved--yet many stayed empty the entire time we were there. We brought flowers for the celebration, but there was no room for them because the table was so cramped. When we asked if there was a vase or bucket for the flowers, the hostess seemed visibly annoyed, just like she was when we asked about changing tables. Our waitress, however, was wonderful and did her best to make the experience better, which we really appreciated. We were also told that we had to leave by 2:00 PM because of an event, but it seemed like we were the only ones asked to leave, and no event ever happened. To make things worse, the doors were left open, making it freezing cold inside. We were so uncomfortable that we left after only an hour to go somewhere else and warm up. I'm very disappointed. After years of coming here, I expected much better service, especially for my birthday.
