The service is terrible. I've sat in the dining room and patio before so I figured maybe the bar would be better. Wrong! I got my drink order taken before I'd been sitting there for 20 mins unlike the other times, but then my food sat in the window as I watched it for 20 mins. I tried to get the bartenders attention multiple times to ask... but to no avail. I finally asked a passing waiter and sure enough, it was mine. I didn't even want it after that. It was not even half full. The hostess was chatting up someone at the bar and had a line of customers waiting. Super cute place with potential, but when the food and drinks are just ok, you need solid service staff. read more

Food tastes like it was from a can, service was awful. Will never come back. We really wanted to like it because we live down the street but was very disappointed. read more

Friendly staff, excellent service, excellent pizza and pie folds! I love that they have a weekly specials menu. Overall, 100 percent recommend. Beer selection great, food selection great, ambiance great! It's a win win read more

"20 minutes wait for a seat." Waited 30 minutes. With kids. Halos for everyone. "20 minutes until you can get the bread appetizer. Kitchen is slammed." Felt stabby. Prison time for everyone, including kids? Did not wait. One star for table water. read more

I have a horrible disease where I can't control my throw up unfortunately but since the bartender saw me throwing up I couldn't get service anymore. Don't have any disease there or else no service! Or else you're drunk! read more

We had the pizza and wings and it was delicious. The service was amazing I would highly recommend.

Such good food. But for me, terrible service. I came in about 12:30 from the rapid transit from Downtown. The handsome host with blue eyes, was quick to welcome me and seat me. I was starving and patiently waited for my waitress. Unfortunately, she refused to acknowledge me and instead focused on a different table. There was a table of four men, all unconcerned about placing an order. I sat for 20 minutes waiting, pretty hungry. My waitress, Thedra did not acknowledge me in any way. In Food order, if their order comes before mine, there will be an extended wait for their food order to be completed before mine. Sensing a time dilema, I go up to the bar and plead for service from my handsome host. He first redirected me to my server, but takes my order before the onimious four customer table order. A killer hot toddy arrives after 10 minutes p. Then my chicken Marsala with polenta The food is great, but the action of having to beg for service kills the happiness vibe of this place. My handsome host checks in with me, Miss Thedra ignores me. I wanted an additional order of wine, Miss Thedra ignores me for the additional 20 minutes I remain at the table. Four star for the food, one star for the service. read more

Spaghetti and big meatballs at a Pub. Alcohol and Italian dishes have a long history and they do the waddle dance with a tasty chemistry. Additional salmon meatballs were copied and pasted onto my breads for a seafood delight. In this Pub, publicly doing this nom noms yields glorious victory. The final customization left to the audience is their tipsy beverage, to which is left to your imagination. read more

This place is dangerously good! A friend introduced me to it about a month ago and I keep finding myself trying to find a reason to go to Northgate just so I can eat here! I would be in big big trouble if I lived nearby. Honestly, though, it's worth the drive from Olympia. Seriously. It's that good. And the chill environment is an added bonus. First time I ate here I had the curry cauliflower soup. Scrumptious!! And a salad with arugula and quinoa on it, I can't remember the name. Similarly scrumptious and very unique! Today I had another salad I don't know the name of with spinach, garbanzo beans, olives, red onions and summer sausage! Yes! Summer sausage! If I wasn't late for an appointment I was going to try the tomato soup which the staff keep telling me is fantastic! Warning: they have specials and they are so enticing it's very difficult not to try one of each thing, just on the specials menu! Everything about this place is why you should try it and why I'm already figuring out a new reason to make the drive. read more

Excellent service, cold beer, and good food. It helps that there's free parking right across the street.

I send this place nothing but happiness, positivity, and good vibes. Place is typically chill but food is average to below average at best. Alcohol menu is limited and place has survived 8 years based on location only. read more

The Shed is totally wonderful! Great atmosphere, good people, excellent food and spirits. And Thornton Creek! Yay! read more

Came by here for some beers and to try their infamous "award winning" grilled cheese this past week. I've read mix feedback about the grilled cheese and had to experience it myself. Quality of the grilled cheese was comparable to your typical homemade grilled cheese, nothing special. Please keep in mind that this grilled cheese was award winning in 2014 of which I expected it to be decent coming in which it wasn't. I'm not sure how it was award winning back then but a lot could've changed in the past 3-4 years leading to a poor grilled cheese. Nonetheless, the service was excellent and the bartender was friendly. Prices for both drinks and food were fair. I just wouldn't try the grilled cheese again. read more

Nice waitstaff but not loving this place. Not going to pay money for food that I could make better at home. I had the most underwhelming ceaser salad of my life. Husbands pizza tasted like a wet fart. read more

Disappointed after so many great reviews. Came with my wife and 2 friends and the establishment seemed unorganized and messy. Stuck around for apps entree and drinks and I can say you will have better luck at any of the other nearby eateries. When the absence of quality was brought up to the waitress it was met with an aggressive response leading to this review. Will not be coming back - John. read more

So instead of addressing the apparent biases shown by his staff this is how the owner chose to respond. Your staff was discriminatory but YOU'RE offended? This is beyond disgusting and extremely disturbing. I'm a first responder and my sister is a nurse, we've been vaccinated since last year and showed our proof. The issue wasn't about vaccination, the issue is that your staff ONLY asked us to show proof to sit inside but did not ask ANYONE ELSE yet they allowed them to sit inside. Mind you this was a BUSY weekend night so there is no way they "knew" everyone. Let's say for arguments sake they knew every single patron, the optics are still disparaging when you only ask ONE set of people to prove they are vaccinated and those people happen to be the ONLY black people in the entire establishment except 1 employee. None of the white patrons were asked to show proof of vaccination. If you do not want to be labeled as a racist then do not do racist things. Maybe you all should consider having a workshop to discuss passive racism and unconscious bias. read more

This was a great place! Friendly staff, lots of different beers on tap. The food was excellent. If you have the opportunity to try this place, you will not be disappointed. I will be returning. read more

If you're trivia, with horrible un-music blaring at distortion levels (turn it the f down!), well-trod but not well executed pub-ish standards messed with for absolutely no good reason, and some decent beer - you just found home. However, if you think a waiter delivering your food to another table, and then 5 minutes later picking it up and serving it to you is filthy and disgusting, you should consider reporting to the health inspector and skipping this joint. We gave it two visits, and won't try again. Vile. read more

Love this place for pizza and decent drinks. Wish the pizza wasn't so expensive ($28 for 18"). But most of the varieties are good, some are great. Last night, we did 50/50 Mount Vesuvius and Gondolier. A great pairing. Sat at the bar where service is always fast and entertaining. read more

Two problems with this place. First, the brisket sandwich served to my wife had only a few chunks of brisket in it. The brisket itself was at least half gristle and fat. They appear to be skimping on amounts as well as quality of meat. Second, they refused entry because our 3 year-old was not vaccinated. Kids under 5 years per state guidelines are not even eligible for vaccinations. What gives? read more

The. Mac. And. Cheese. Get it. Get it even if you have to eat it yourself. Okay, I actually am not a fan of restaurant mac and cheese over boxed mac and cheese because I feel like they lack flavor and are bland, but the mac and cheese here is the TRUTH! I had the bacon mama's mac and cheese and I enjoyed it much more than the pizza! That's saying a lot. The pizza is also delicious. I came for a work function and we ordered three pizzas: the parma, meat head, and hawaiian heat. The pizzas are a tad on the greasy side for being a thinner crust but delicious nonetheless. read more

Crapy food, horrible service, and hard to find parking. I have never given a one star review before but this place was absolutely badd. After taking a few coworkers there for a promotion celebrationWe ordered a round of drinks and was kicked out for being too loud. No explanation no nothing. We asked for the manager and she came out and she was even ruder than the server. The food sucked they don't even have wings or nachos. Don't trust any bar that doesn't have wings or nachos read more

An awkward space that feels like it was retrofit from leftover room during the building's construction, the acoustics are terrible for talking, the decor is cheap, and the food is mediocre. They ran out of the two specials, and we were just into the rush of dinner service. The specials didn't seem to require ingredients that were that special, so that was odd, too. We had a wonderful server, and food came in a timely and well-prepared manner, and they have an extensive tap. He did a great job explaining various beers that weren't what they seemed, so I wasn't surprised, and the one I picked with his help was marvelous. (I give him 4 or 5 stars, but he'll probably find a better restaurant to work at, so I don't want to give them too much credit for his performance.) But the menu is rather boring--Mac & cheese, grilled sandwiches, and pizza or pizza-dough based things--and the food that arrived was fine but really underwhelming given the price. We paid about $30 each for a party of four and would have had a more consistent meal at Denny's, probably. The item I ordered was supposed to be basically a sausage sandwich on a pizza-dough like bread. I believe there was perhaps half of one sausage in the $12 entree. One of my companions ordered a grilled cheese sandwich (which she'd had there before and loved), and it was almost entirely bread. There was nothing so objectionable as to send the food back, but they're really doing a terrible job on what should be straightforward Italian and American cuisine. read more

Wife was outta town and I went to an early holiday gathering last Saturday. Left about 8pm and decided to stop here for a quick nightcap on my way home. Very glad I did. They had an excellent jazz trio playing that night and there was a very good crowd about - kinda unusual for a holiday Saturday night. Not only was the music great but the service was friendly and the bar had an eclectic variety of taps and any drink you could want. Didn't try the food but intend to do so next visit. I think the name of the band was something like the Triangular Jazztet - I had to ask. Will be checking for a return visit and next time will bring wife and friends. read more

The beer selection is good and the service is fine. The food is uneven. The combination of ingredients often doesn't work. We order the pizza when we go as we like the outside patio. read more

I come to the Watershed for fun trivia, a huge and tasty beer selection, and awesome pizza. At my last visit I tried the pie-fold for the first time. I wasn't expecting much, being as it was basically a piece of pizza folded in half, but it was mighty tasty! There's tons of seating, friendly staff, abundant parking, and they even offer a discount on movie tickets if you eat there! I highly recommend this place. read more

WHEN the drinks arrive, they aren't bad. But seriously... it's 3pm on a Sunday, they are over staffed, 2 bartenders, and it still take 20+ minutes just for drinks? I hear the food is really good, but I don't plan on discovering how long it'll take to make it to the table. I'd love to support a local place, but my goodness, Uber eats is probably faster. read more

Trivia on Tuesdays! This sports bar is a great low key place in Northgate. They have free parking in the garage and is about a block away from the transit center, so any easy bus commute. The food ia decent but the variety of beers on tap are wonderful since they focus a lot on local and american beers. Highly enjoyable if you are looking to try a variety of local craft brews. read more

Watershed Pub & Kitchen - Pubs Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Always worth the wait on a Friday night or any night! The hostess is honest about the wait time for a table and lets you know if the kitchen is supper busy. We often go see a move after having lunch or dinner so it's very helpful. The staff is great! They work their butts off and still have time to chat and make you feel special. They always have a good beer to suggest and keep your glass filled with a smile. You will often see the owners helping out everywhere. From behind the bar to busing tables. They truly care about their staff and the happiness of their customers. They will go above and beyond to make things right if you are unsatisfied. I love the sandwiches. The pizza is great! I can't say enough good things about Watershed. read more

Four years later my friends and I gave this place another try since the original place we wanted to go to was booked out 2 hours for the night. I wish there was a single good thing about this place. Terrible customer service, slow, and the food is flavorless. Our waitress took time to get water to our table. In addition, the time she took in between to get our orders was ridiculously long. We let her know to give us couple of minutes for dinner. She never returned. 15 minutes go by and we had to call her over. We had to ask her why things are so delayed. She said the kitchen was backed up by 30-40 minutes. Why was this not communicated to us from the time we placed our orders? At the very end, we felt rushed to pay for our bill and leave. Staff presents themselves as careless. Not a happy experience. I wish our experience was different than the first since it has a fun community vibe to it. read more

Solid place; we came here with a party of 6 after not getting seating elsewhere. Post-holiday rush and whatnot. Server was super friendly and knowledgeable about the many beers on tap. There was a fantastic selection of saison ales (although I understand that we lucked out that day with more beers to choose from than usual). Food came out quickly, and everyone seemed happy. As other reviewers mentioned, we were a bit surprised by the "pizza fold" as well - somehow we read it as more like a calzone from the description, and it's really more of a panini made with pizza dough instead of toast. The person who ordered it liked it though, so no harm, no foul. Really appreciated the music being background level and not obnoxiously loud. Several of us ordered the Stallion Polenta (can't quite remember the exact name) but it came with red onion, sausage, and mushrooms. Kinda like grits but softer? It sounded really nice on a cold day. My main critical feedback here is that the mushrooms tasted like they were canned mushrooms. Obviously, I'm not in the kitchen and can't tell you whether this is actually true, but they tasted like canned sliced champignons. They were rubbery in texture, and did not taste good at all. For me, it really messed with the whole dish in a bad way as these slices were sprinkled throughout the polenta. I would have expected maybe dried or fried mushrooms? It didn't quite work for me. The other two folks with us didn't seem to mind, so I just tried my best to eat around the mushrooms. If an owner is reading these reviews: I usually love mushrooms, and I would love for you to tweak the ingredients, because otherwise this was great polenta. read more

My baby shower was hosted in the loft here and it was so perfect for about 30 guests. We couldn't have been more pleased with all the food, pitchers of punch, and at first it was too warm and I asked them to turn the heat down and they obliged my request quickly. There was a slideshow on the TV screen. Great candle votive decor and twinkle lighting. Lots of parking in garage. If I ever planned another event for 30 I'd do it here! Only possible downside is not ADA accessible, stairs-only. read more

Ben contacted me about my review and I thought I was replying publicly. Here's what I said because I maybe I was being unfair. "Thanks, Ben. I was back for late brunch just over a week ago. It was late enough for beer. I'm very much an espresso woman, so it's hard to find drip I like. Thinking back, I don't recall the coffee, so it mustn't have been that bad and I apologize for being dramatic." read more

I want to start off by saying the food was tasty and loved all the fresh ingredients. The menu has many options so it's hard to decide what you want. Everything was going great (friendly servers, good environment). I came in with a group of 4 adults 1 toddler and 2 infants. Once we started placing our order is when things went wrong, I ordered a salad with chickpeas on the side and what do I get? Basically a bowl of chickpeas with limp soggy spinach underneath. Thanks. Then my friend ordered a build your own pizza and when it came back the pizza had no cheese and all the toppings were cold like straight from the fridge. Instead of figuring out a solution one of our many servers decided to argue with her about why she couldn't add cheese and put it back in the oven and then proceeded to offer her cheese bread as a replacement! Not so sure how that is even nearly close to the equivalence of a pizza but okay. Lastly when our bills came they were completely wrong like she had blindly picked items to put on our tickets so I ended up having to write everyone's ticket for the server and when she came back with the new tickets she added a random charge of chicken to my ticket that I didn't have! Lastly when we looked at the check we noticed A 20% gratuity was already added because we were a party of 6 or more.. how shady can these people be having the nerve to include two infants as adults eating at a restaurant!! They're babies that still drink milk. And to top it all off the server gave me my change and never took off the extra charge of chicken until I went back to ask for the rest of my money! Let's just say this place has been around for 7 years and still doesn't have it together. I'll never be back to this place but just a little tip coming from a fellow server stop having three servers per table I didn't even know who I was supposed to tip at the end of the day and all you did was confuse yourselves. read more

This place has themed nights like trivia and occassionally will have live music in the bar (it gets loud on those nights in that section). There's ample seating outside for summer months and the establishment itself is very expansive with a large selection of beers. Their well liquors are not the typical bottom shelf spirits, which I was quite surprised! They have a great happy hour and full menu of dishes to select from while you enjoy the pub-like atmosphere. On their appetizer menu, they have a Brazilian dish called "Pao de Queijo" which is a big plus especially if you are a cheese lover. The pizzas and pasta are decent as well. Every drink that they've made here has been carefully crafted with a balanced blend that doesn't skimp on the alcohol while maintaining a perfect level of flavors. read more

Watershed Pub & Kitchen - Old fashioned on ice, Belching Beaver' nitro peanut butter milk stout, buffalo cheese dip and Pão de Queijo. - Pubs Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Wandered in here for Saturday brunch and football after dropping off the pooch at the nearby groomer. What a great find! Bf got the country Bennie with the french toast upgrade, SUPER yummy. I got the pie fold (envision a large piece of NY style pizza folded over with the topping inside) and it was solid. But the 2 surprise stand out items were the cauliflower gratin and the Caeser dressing on my side salad. Luke was a gracious bartender who mixed a nice Blackberry Mule. The live acoustic musician, Joe Iudice, was a nice addition. We will be back, probably on a Tuesday for trivia night. read more

We went to a pub because somebody in the group loves drinking. I was not expecting a 5 star meal, but it most certainly was that. Pao de queijo: 5/5 you must get these cheese balls! Melty cheese with thin baked outer crust. No one at the table could figure out how they did it. There are no air gaps inside the balls. They are Perfectly salty, slightly garlicky. Honey to dip the cheese into is an amazing call on the chefs part. They had a finnriver lavender black currant cider which was out of this world. 5/5 I had a smokey the beef pie fold and it was great 4/5. Minus some points because the cheese used made the entire thing taste "heavy" at first. Hurray for thin crusts. Happy with the lemon poppy seed dressing on my salad. Note you get 2 pie folds at dinner. Other pictures showed one fold which would have been the perfect portion size for my tiny stomach. But I'm happy I had leftovers for breakfast the next morning. I had bites of the salmon spread and I can recommend that. 5/5 I also had bites of the mushroom mac and cheese. Based on other Yelpers, I want expecting much but I'm happy to report those reviews were not indicative of what I experienced. The sauce is on the more watery side, yes, but it didn't take anything away from the flavor. Incredible flavor. Not super mushroom-y tasting but the cheese sauce is so yummy I didn't care. 5/5 Server Amy was the coolest server I've had in a while - totally willing to chat to us tourists about what to do in the area and live music festivals that night. read more

smaller menu, some of the food isn't to my taste but is overall good! the caesar salad dressing has a nice kick to it, and I personally love the bacon & mama's mac! read more
