    a glass of beer on a table
    Aparna B.

    Great bar to order flatbread and beer! AND BONUS: they allow dogs!! This place is so cute and located in The Greenwood neighborhood of Seattle (north of downtown). It's a very small bar, with parking on the street, and can hold maybe 35-40 people comfortably. However, I've heard it's one of the hot spots to watch Sounders game, so I assume on game days, that place gets packed! I'm not a huge beer drinker, but all their beers from breweries local to Seattle or the PNW. The beer I DID try was the wanderlust (an IPA) which was crisp and delicious. Not too heavy like a lot of beer can be. Food is pretty good here: we ordered a pretzel that came with two mustards and also one of their flatbreads that had some pesto, sundried tomato, pepperoncinis and cheese. Both were delicious and paired with the beer well. Would highly recommend this spot for watching Sounders games, or just coming in for a quick beer or wine!!

    Girls night out!

    Super cute, trendy spot! It's got a very modest store front! In fact when the Lyft dropped us off we almost didn't see it! Very quaint little spot in Phinney Ridge! The inside is decked out in reclaimed wood. The best part is, dog friendly and they serve food. I will say I was quite impressed with the service here. Because it is so small, they only keep one bartender at a time. On a Saturday night the place was poppin' and despite that, the gal was super friendly and on top of drink refills and staying attentive with the whole bar! And did I mention she also preps the food too?!? The gal was amazing. I can't even imagine having to juggle drinks and prepping the food orders! The menu is really small; only small appetizer plates and flatbread pizzas. We ordered these mini grilled cheese sandwiches, they called them "Mini Melts". We got the cheddar with rosemary bites and they were amazing. We also got the pretzel twist. It came with 2 different mustards. One was super spicy and I wasn't expecting it... I started sneezing like crazy, the spice was too much for my nose! Ha! I would've liked to have cheese dip as an option as well! Overall, great spot! Decent selection of local (and some not-so local) beers on tap! They also have wine, which was the main reason we selected The Dray. My friend is a wine drinker, so I had to chose a place to go besides a brewery! This was the best of both worlds!

    Cute divey small spot and dog friendly. I can't remember the bartenders name but she has good vibes. Mostly IPAs and indoor and outdoor covered seating.

    I was doing my laundry yesterday and stopped in this place to get a beer. I have been once before but I really enjoyed my time here. Alex is a cool bartender. I happened to have met the owner and he is very nice and welcomed me to Seattle and his bar. The patrons are friendly and I like the "dog friendly" environment. Dogs are people too! They make sandwiches too. I had a bacon and cheese sandwich that I shared with a patron. I will definetly be back and now I don't mind laundry day! I'm a fan!

    Came in here to meet a few friends in the afternoon, quiet spot would be a great place to work on your laptop during the day since they do have coffee as well for non drinkers. Open windows which is nice for fresh air. Hidden gem!

    Nice place guys! The Dray is a warm cozy place to duck in for some tasty craft beer. With a constantly revolving selection of 12 beers on tap and a big bottle selection, there is always something to catch the eye. The atmosphere is great. It's well lit and open and the woodwork is nice. The sandwiches are tasty and the staff is friendly and courteous. C h e c k i t o u t

    I've reviewed a lot of breweries, and Fremont Brewing did not disappoint!…read more This cool spot has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. A truly legit outdoor space! They are kid and dog-friendly, too. We ordered an NA IPA (which they have on tap!) and their hop water (comes in a can). Both beverages were absolutely delicious. I love that this place is NA-friendly. They offer some light snacks and free pretzels, which is awesome for a brewery without a kitchen. There is a food truck on site, but it was closed when we visited. No worries, though, you can bring outside food, which is perfect since there are plenty of great restaurants in the area. I asked the bartender if they brew at this location, and he said they've moved all brewing to a different location in Seattle, but it's still super fresh and tasty beer all around. This is a spot worth visiting in Seattle or getting together with a large group for a few drinks. Plenty of choices for everyone!

They don't serve food, so there's a food truck outside with smash burgers which were also really good. Service - fast & friendly. don't really need much checking in or anything. Ambiance - I really like all the different seating areas they have. And also very dog friendly. We sat inside in the bleacher/stadium kind of area which is kind of cute. There's also a fireplace with bench seating surrounding it. Plenty of picnic tables and smaller tables. Also a huge outdoor seating area with some cover.

    This is a new favorite of mines. Been here 3 times so far and can't wait to get back every time…read more What I like the most about this place is the vibe of it all. It's not divey, but not hipster either which I really appreciate. They also play good classic rock in here, but switch the music to something up-tempo when it becomes evening. I feel that anyone can feel comfortable here. Ok so the food and drink. I was told that this is a whiskey bar, but I'm a tequila girl so I wasn't able to explore their whiskey library. I didn't want any of the happy hour drink options, so I just asked for a margarita and it was damn good. I had too many to admit on here. The main food attraction at Triangle Spirits is their fried chicken, which has been dubbed by some as the best in the city. You can get the chicken as a slider or sandwich, boneless skinless thighs on the happy hour menu (great deal of 10 bucks for 3 pieces and fries), or as a meal (dark or white meat with a side, or half a chicken with 2 sides). I tried the happy hour chicken basket and the dark meat meal. After trying both, I feel that the chicken on the happy hour is better than the meal. The happy hour chicken is boneless, very tender and more flavorful than their chicken on the bone. The secret mix of seasonings is more pronounced on the boneless chicken than it is with the bone in. The bone in chicken was just ok to us and didn't blow us away and it was also ridiculously expensive. I would not pay 35.00 again for what I tasted. The bone in chicken was fried well, but didn't have as much flavor as we were expecting. Also, the mac and cheese was the most disappointing. I suggest skipping that as it's obvious that the cheese is some kind or processed concoction from a box. This is still an awesome bar in Fremont. Stop in for a good time and atmosphere.

    I've only been here two times and they were both for Happy Hour…read more The Happy Hour prices for drinks are pretty darn good. My go-to HH cocktail here is the Vieux Carré, but I like herbal sweet & bitter, so it's right up my alley. Currently there are five HH cocktail options and they are $7... hard to find in Seattle! I've also had the rainier & rye for $9- the rye is great, forgot to ask what kind it is. I've had a few other HH drinks, which were alright, but these stand out the most. As for food, I've only tried the spicy Seattle dog, and I would get it again. The hot dog is cut up & shaped weird (see photo), but it tastes wonderful. I heard the fried chicken is great so I'll try that next time. Also, I was excited to see that they had buckeyes on the menu, but they didn't have any when we visited. Inside is spacious and woodsy, & outside there is an enjoyable patio. Servers are nice and seem happy to be there, which always elevates my experience anywhere. I definitely recommend coming to Triangle Spirits for Happy Hour (available daily 3-5pm, dine-in only).

    I thought the Seattle area didn't really have amazing Southern BBQ until I tried the food here at…read moreOutsider! You know it's good when you pull up the establishment and they have not only a long line, but also a paper dictating what is sold out, which they update on a 10-15 minute interval. Waiting in line is the most time consuming part of this experience, as we probably waited 20-30 minutes to get to the front to place our order - which is good sign! You can definitely formulate what meats and sides you want as you get closer to the front. Parking for the restaurant is a bit difficult, I think the only options we found while visiting was streetside, and we were fortunate to find a spot only a block away. I could totally see it being impossible to find parking when it gets really busy in the area. Once you get your food, there is plenty of seating, from high tops, to booths, to tables, to outdoor seating with a fire pit. We got a good variety of items, which I'll review a couple down below: Brisket: A good brisket with a nice visible smoke ring. Similar to the pork belly, you can tell the skill of a barbecue restaurant from how their brisket is, and this brisket is delicious! Really meaty and pleasant smoke flavor. I think we did get a leaner cut of brisket as there wasn't as much fat to help with the leanness. Beef Cheek: A delicious cut of meat that melts in the mouth, and has a pleasant smokey flavor. Out of the three cuts of meat, this one was unfortunately salted the heaviest. The first couple of bites are delicious and really delicious, but it goes really overwhelming the more you eat it. If you order this, definitely get some sides to help. Pomegrante Pork Belly: A solid BBQ pork belly that has a pleasing fatty crust with a meaty interior. This is what I would consider a good baseline for a reputable barbecue restaurant. It is advertised as pomegrante pork belly, but I unfortunately wasn't able to taste any flavor of pomengrate - maybe a tiny bit in the glaze/bark but that could just be attributed to the sugar. Mac and Cheese: A pretty comforting side! bechamel sauce is really creamy and fully coats each noodle. The noodles were at the sweet spot of soft and having enough integrity to hold their shape. Cherry and Rhubarb Cobbler: Wow, this is an amazing dessert! I haven't had a cobbler where they added cardamom to the crust before, and I think it works spectacularly. The cardamom gives a nice floral taste to the crust, which is complemented by the tart and fruity filling. I think this is one of the better if not best desserts I've had a barbecue shop, and the small tweaks made were creative and delicious! In the end, I think we paid about $100 for everything you see here. Having been to a couple of BBQ places, I would say that it is pretty standard pricing. Good BBQ does take a lot of effort and it does come at a premium. Outsider BBQ is absolutely delicious - if you are looking to get some comforting food, they definitely have you covered. I would totally revisit to try their items that got sold out (missed the beef cheeks, need to try those!) the time we visited!

    I mean, it isn't BBQ from the south, but it comes close. There's typically a long time and it's not…read morefast either, so it's quite popular. You order at the front, you bring it to your table, and you bus yourself. The first time we went, we actually left but most of the items were sold out, so we came back a week later and earlier in the day. The also close quite early, around 8 or 9pm depending on the day. There's both indoor and outdoor seating, and it's communal. We got the Pitmasters that serves around 4-5 people, there was 3 of us and we ate the rest the following day. I loved the ribs and the pulled pork sandwiched between a piece of bread and a pickle was delicious.
