    During our trip to Seattle we decided to try out all of the local spots that were in walking distance from our hotel. We kept passing by this place, which was completely packed, so we decided to go when it wasn't too crowded. This very modern, yet cozy cafe embodies all of the things I enjoy. Delicious coffee, an array of alcoholic beverages and a variety of different games to keep you entertained. Everyone was super friendly and were delighted to speak to us regarding the beers on tap. The beers we chose were crisp and refreshing with a silky, smooth taste. After the first sip, we instantly felt relaxed, even with the hustle and bustle of the patrons surrounding us. Before we left, we decided to grab a hot coffee to-go, and it did not disappoint.

    I came here on a Friday after work for the first time and it was perfect! Drink selections for everyone beer, wine and cider. They have games and lots of cool places to sit including some outdoor seating. I like it here. Customer service was fast and friendly.

    I was pleasantly surprised with TeKu! It was a great place to do work but would come back with friends to hang out. My boyfriend and I came to do work on a Sunday. We sat at the bar and I ordered a cider the Channel Marker Apple Sauce on tap and my boyfriend got a can of the honey badger. We loved both! It was soooo good! We got hungry and ordered a pretzel with cheese and mustard - bomb! Such a chill place. There are games for folks to play. Plenty of seating. Probably one of my new favorite places to do work. Would so come back.

    I didn't expect to have fun during my visit, but I did. I only came in to relax and have a drink after playing pickleball one day. I honestly thought TeKu was going to be a corner market that served beer. Instead I walked into an actual beer hall that is very small and a lot more modern than what I'm used to. I don't think this is a German beer hall either. Even crazier, there were plenty of people inside, but it was only 3pm on a Wednesday. The ordering counter is up front when you walk in. You order your drink based on size for most. A few only come in one size. The seating are is to the side. There are fridges through with individual beverages you can purchase. I didn't pay much attention to those as the beer I ordered tasted great. Also there are tvs all around. This would be a great place to come and watch a sports game.

    Food - mostly bring your own food here but they do have small snacks and such for purchase. Mostly premade cheese platters, sandwiches, and chips. Lots of tap selections including coffee, cider, beer, and wine. Sometimes they also have cocktails. Service - the bartenders are very friendly and helpful in getting you the drink you want. They are often very busy though so give them some time. Ambiance - it's fun for trivia and pretty chill outside of events. Plenty of seating and dog friendly which is awesome!

    Stopped by mid afternoon to grab drinks. It wasn't too busy when we came in, so we had lots of options on choosing where we wanted to sit. Good customer service in helping us select what drinks we wanted. I am not a big drinker and prefer sweeter drinks, so I was happy with the drink the staff member suggested.

    Nice place for a nice drink, a lot of great options! We found this place by accident when visiting Seattle, definitely not disappointed. Will go back again!

    Cheers!

    This place was really cool!! It wasn't super busy and seems like a great local spot! We each had a drink on tap that were super good!! We also took some beer to go from there fridges, that were very good as well! The drinks from the fridges are a little more on the expensive side, but fun to try. We really enjoyed coming here and would come back if we are in the Seattle area!

We dropped in for brunch, and were thrilled to find a place that is both pretty and delicious. Service is walk up and quick and friendly.

    5 Stars - Bonus point galore…read more.. Stopped by this spot on perfect Seattle Sunday - almost 70 degrees out without a cloud in the sky, and this place is right across the street from the waterfront. This is the exact type of spot I wish Seattle had more of - simple concept with food/drinks that really stand out. You order at the front, grab a seat on the patio or inside, and wait for the food to be brought out. I also love how dog friendly this place is! Bonus points for sure. They usually have 10-15 beers on tap and a list of house made cocktails. I went with their light Lightning Harp and the girlfriend went with the SYSTEM_REBOOT.EXE (great name, wow) which was light/crispy/sweet/herby-freshness and was insanely good. For food, we usually just get their basket of fires and their fancy ranch. I MUST SAY, this fancy ranch is top tier, the epitome of what ranch should be, and might be the best I have ever had - no notes and more bonus points. This time, we decided to try a few other food items. Chips w queso and their fried mushrooms as starters - chips are seasoned with s&p and maybe chili powder? Honestly, the chips were great. Queso has never been my favorite, and their version of this cheese dip seemed to be lacking something. Girlfriend loved it, but not my favorite. Fried mushrooms were perfect - light and crispy outside with meaty mushroom center, and of course the fancy ranch as a dipper made this a delightful snack. The last thing we ordered to share was their iteration of the Seattle Hotdog. I will be getting this hotdog every single time we come back moving forward. Every single part of this dish was done perfectly - bun was very light with crispy outside and soft inside. Also not too much bun, I always find myself ripping off excess bun with hotdogs, but not here (today lol). The wiener was perfect size (pause) in every sense of the way. Just the right amount of cream cheese. AND THEY USED FRIED JALAPENOS! I did not think fried jalapenos would be such a game changer, but my god they were so frickin good that give the perfect crispy texture and heat. This is a great spot to grab a beer and snack, and especially good on a blue bird Seattle Sunday :)

    Wow, this review is 8 years old! I want to share my experience with Some Random Bar…read more In 2017, my mom and I visited Seattle for me to look at apartments and interview for jobs. We came here to eat because it was near our hotel. I was OBSESSED with the crab nachos. 2 months later, I moved out here all on my own. Now, 8 years later, I live nearby. Whenever someone is visiting, we come here. Whenever I run into a stranger visiting, i say they have to come here. My friends know if i'm celebrating anything, "are you getting crab nachos?!" It's become a part of my personality at this point. I have so much respect for the owners, the way they run their business and their honesty online. No one I've brought here has had a bad thing to say regardless of what they ordered. My go to is: Pull apart bread, crab nachos (with their hot sauce!! which, btw can i buy that by the bottle.. cause YUM) + whatever drink is calling my name (they rotate, but if you can get the pina colada you won't regret it). tldr; you'll regret NOT coming here.

    Some Random Bar is a very popular bar and restaurant in Belltown. I read they have good food, so we…read moregave them a try. We arrived at 4:45pm on a Saturday, figuring we can avoid crowds. I underestimated the attractiveness of Happy Hour where many drinks are $1 to $3 off. The place was full and became even fuller (and louder) by the end of our meal. This bar is hopping with many regulars, alcohol-filled, with multiple screens televising sports. When we went in October, the food menu says the food is discounted 25% off during certain late hours. The current online menu doesn't say that anymore. Not sure if that deal is still available. Our server was easygoing. Note they charge 3% for credit card use. The Food: SRB Burger, $22 - 3 Stars Menu: Painted Hills beef, burrata mozzarella, basil aioli, arugula, pickled onions, hand cut fries Per the menu description, this burger sounded great. Unfortunately for hubby, this burger has the exact pet peeve that he dislikes the most - where the patty is small and tall (he calls it ball shape) compared to the bun. The patty diameter is significantly smaller than the bun. He literally hates that. I had to tilt the camera much lower to see the patty inside. On the plus side, the fries are great. Grilled Shrimp Club, $24 - 3.5 Stars Menu: bacon, lettuce, tomato, house made guacamole, roasted chipotle aioli, hand cut fries This club sandwich is very good except for the one thing that the menu didn't specify - the bun. They use ciabatta bread, which I find doughy, thick, and overwhelms a sandwich. That is my pet peeve for a sandwich. Neither of us is betting well on this night. They are probably more of a 3.5 Stars overall. We find their prices to be high, especially since they additionally charge a credit card fee. When we went, the cost was $21, $23 respectively. The prices are now $22 and $24 per online menu. I would not return for food only. I would return for a bar vibe.

The oysters were the main draw for me, and they were totally worth the visit. Old Stove serves them with a savory watermelon sauce in addition to a traditional cocktail sauce--eaten together, it's a flavor explosion that I can't quite describe. We also enjoyed the garlic everything fries, which were delicious! We just had to try a flight to sample the brews. There are some really good beers available here, especially the Belgian blonde, citra pale ale, and the stout. I did not really care for the seasonal sour (grapefruit, I think)--to me, it just tasted like a sour and nothing more, but someone with more interest in sour beers would probably enjoy it just fine. Despite the busy night, our server checked on us regularly and was very personable, stopping to chat with us about the local sports scene. There's plenty to look at, inside and out. If you can snag a seat outside, you'll get to enjoy the waterfront. Inside, the decor is industrial but fun. Not sure if this runs all the time, but when we were there, the tvs were playing vintage beer ads, which was quite fun. They also sell some pretty good t-shirt designs. Overall, Old Stove Brewing is the perfect combo of good location, good food, and good beer. Definitely recommend a visit when in the Pike Place area!
