    Quite the neighborhood spot! It's our second visit. This time we came specifically because the last visit was so enjoyable. Great selection on tap. Tons of bottles to go. I opted for a Rosé. It was exactly what I wanted. They have eateries next door and small bite items for purchase in the case. Love this spot!

    My friend and I ordered a flight and a sour. Both were delicious, and the price of the flight was fantastic. The interior was spacious inside with a decent amount of seating, and there was also an outdoor patio in the back. The service was attentive and friendly. The protocol here is you clean up after yourself, which seemed to be working as the establishment was pretty clean. You're able to order food from other restaurants (there are 2 others connected) and bring it into here to enjoy with your drinks, which is great since this place doesn't sell any food. p.s. Dogs are allowed in this establishment!

    Went here to grab a couples pints and watch a football game. Good beer selections and attached to Zeeks and lil woodies if you want some food. Lots of children at this location maybe I won't be bothered by that when I have my own but booger eaters really kill the vibe.

    ALL KINDS OF BEER ON DRAFT and also many in cans. You can sit at the bar and order flights or pints from the large selection of local and Oregon beers. Also many many cans in the large cooler to choose from. If you are lucky, you be served by Lisa. The friendly knowledgeable bartender who will steer you towards your favorite type of beer. Find one you like and take home a growler! The place is more store-like than bar-like although there is a bar and it is quite long. The ambiance is pleasing and a refreshing change from an actual bar. This place is bright and airy. There isn't any hot food at Beer Star, but it is next door to a pizza place and burger joint. Order there and they will give you a pager to let you know when your order is ready. So, great beer, great service, Nice atmosphere. 5 stars! Excelsior!

    Such a great spot to hang out! We spent the day playing disc golf in what was a much more challenging course than anticipated so we were more than ready for a drink and some food! All 3 of us love trying different beers so when we saw pics online of all the options in the fridge and the long menu we knew this was the place for us. We pulled up and amazingly found parking in their small lot out back and my sister found a spot on the street right by the door, so lucky. It was 4 so still not too busy but we were happy to get to choose the best spot since theres benches outside in the sun, tall tables inside, plenty of bar space at their really cool long bar, and low tables for larger parties. When I came in there was a party of about 10 or more celebrating so definitely a good spot for larger parties. The space is huge! And it's connected to a burger and pizza spot. Yup, it has it all! We ordered some flights, burgers, fries. It was all so good! It was a Saturday when we came in and it did quickly start filling up but that was expected with such good food and drinks, this place was really fun!

    We went here all the time pre-COVID but recently made our first post-COVID trip. Loved how organized everything was. Came in and waited to be seated - we got the last table outside. Tables under a permanent roof but still in the open and are nicely spaced apart. The beer and cider menu is full of cool and unique options from some well-loved local breweries and some new-to-me breweries. My most recent visit I actually went for a Sleight of Hand Syrah - a very generous pour for a delicious wine. This place is dog friendly and kid friendly - which you may find desirable or less desirable depending on your leanings. Sometimes there are a LOT of kids - which I bet is great if you are someone with kids. As someone without kids I will say there are places that are adults only seating within the bar too which I appreciate. You can also order from Lil' Woodys or Southside Pizza. Lil' Woodys is consistently delicious. Southside had some great selection pre-COVID but had a limited selection post-COVID - but hey, we all do what we can. Anyway, go! You will have fun.

He pointed to a water dispenser with lukewarm water and plastic cups. He gave us a few minutes then returned to take our order. The menu was small but it did have some healthy options. Not just typical bar food. It seemed like the perfect happy hour place! I had some questions about spiciness of one of the entrees. But he didn't seem to know much about feedback about it. I ordered it anyway. It was a little more spicy than I'm used to but it was delicious. He stopped by to check on us more than halfway through the meal. I asked him for some ice and he promptly brought two cups. The patio was lovely! Not much of a view as they had a big fence blocking it, but it still felt very open and breezy. Very intimate and nicely decorated. I would have given five stars had the waiter been a little more welcoming and there were a few more dishes offered. The menu was paper and a bit worn. It made me wonder how many had touched it. Perhaps a QR code would work for them if they don't wish to laminate their menu. Or just put specials on a blackboard. Not just drinks.

These are the best cheese curds ever bc the batter isn't heavy like other cheese curds I've had. It's tempura battered so it's light and you can taste the cheese more. The jalapeño strawberry dip and ranch are good dips, but try them together and it will blow your mind. The fried green beans were okay. They did have a heavier batter on them and I wish they had the same batter the cheese curds had. The spicy dip was good! The rosemary popcorn was delicious! It had just enough butter and the perfect amount of rosemary where it's not overpowering. Once you get to the bottom, there's tons of butter and you just dip and soak it up with the popcorn.

Solid beer selection with rotating drafts, and if you're a soda guy, they use all Seattle Soda Company flavors (supporting local business). Had the brisket dinner tonight and that was a very pleasant surprise. Fall apart tender, amazing rich flavor, decadent sauce, with creamy mash. The seasonal veg was brussells sprouts which could have been roasted a bit more to crispy for me but that's a personal preference. This is way more satisfying than the food you'd get at your typical local bar. I've been to The Bridge a half dozen times and every time has delivered. Solid food. Good service. Great outdoor patio. Neighborhood vibes - the type of place where the bartenders know and recognize the locals, and the locals are regulars. I like that. It's a welcoming place, casual, laid back, and though I haven't been there during too many sports games, even when it's on, it doesn't seem to get too rowdy. Brunch is a must do, with options like the Benny flight. Definitely one of the less known brunch spots in my opinion, but even so, can still get busy so go early. Only reason I've done 4 stars is I've had a few times where service was a little slow. Would absolutely return again and again and have recommended to many friends. Keep up the great work team, may you be successful for many years to come.

The pasta was amazingly tender, cooked to perfection. There was a lot of flavor and depth in each bite, more of a deliciously earthy mac and cheese as opposed to maybe a velveety smooth creamy type. The Jalapeño poppers were amazing. I've always associated poppers with a crusted fried topping but these were bold, going in a different direction. The jalapeños were fresh and soft to the bite, easy to cut with the side of a fork, loaded with components such as cashew cheddar, crema, avocado sauce, sweet pickled jalapeños, pico and cabbage slaw - all coming together perfectly in each bite (i'm utilizing their menu description) For the main dish, Sandi ordered the "Smokey Barbecue" which came with a complimentary side of chips and I ordered the Portobello French Dip and upgraded my side to a Side Salad for an extra $4. Each dish, every bite was delicious, even something as simple as a side salad was elevated with their Ginger Tahini dresing. Dipping the Portobello Sandwich into the Dip was just .. magical. We also both opted for the same drink, South Park Mule. The drink was legit, in addition to tasting great, I actually had a buzz as well .. indicating to me they didn't skimp on the adult juice Their food is amazing across the board and there's so much more to go back and try! Definitely worth the trip!!

    I'm updated my review to reflect a recent takeout dining experience…read more A couple weeks ago, we ordered 2 salads, and 2 sandwiches. We ordered pickup. Upon arrival to our house, the order was incorrect, whoopsie! We called back and the waiter who answered mentioned that we had accidentally taken a staff meal home. None of our to-go boxes were labeled. How could anyone know? This is a rookie mistake. It's been a while since this Goblin worked in food, but that's a non-negotiable. Especially given a place that prides itself on catering to restricted diets and lifestyles. This is exactly how you let a pumpkin seed slide into a seed allergy order. Instead of letting us keep the meal, she asked us to bring it back to the restaurant. We were happy to do so. Everyone deserves to eat. Should we have kept it for ourselves? We bring the food back, and the waiter explains that there was a mixup, and apologized. They handed us another to-go box (which wasn't labeled) and tried to end the conversation. "Have a good night!" We had to then explain to this waiter that our wives demanded something in return for the error, which was true. The waiter/bartender had a puzzled look on their face. Customer? Demanding I make something right? In my workplace?! A direct statement void of passivity about the quality of my service? With conditions? The audacity! We live in a world where we, the customer, bring back your incorrect order for you, waste our time, and we just get a, "thanks, have a good night!" This goblin had to claw his way up the ranks pillaging for gold which doesn't come easy. Everyone knows food cost in Seattle went up ~%46 since 2019. Wages haven't. We told the waiter our wives wanted a slice of cake. The waiter was shook by our audacity, and moved towards the fridge behind the bar to consult with two chefs who were shutting it down. We were arriving near/at close on a Monday. The other two chefs body language exuded "just give them the rest of the cake". There was a couple moments of pause and hushed conversation. The waiter pulled out a large serving plate with only a small chunk of Chocolate Mousse Cake left. Instead of putting that into a box, apologizing, and fixing the problem. They conferred about the legitimacy of our claim with the chefs. Hesitantly, they cut the cake into a small slice, put it in a box (which wasn't labeled) and handed it to us. What's hilarious is that they would leave such a small piece going into the next day of prep. Why not just 86 it right there? Why was it so hard for this person to acknowledge they made a mistake, and do something kind for us in return? The chefs clearly understood these fundamental building blocks of customer service, had they not been there in the front of house, I'm sure the waiter would've made an excuse to not remedy the situation. From all of my years in food service, if something is wrong, you make it right, end of story. By owning the error, you keep your integrity. Even a small gesture like 10% off one item, between the hours of 7:35pm- 7:45pm every third Monday, however inconsequential and trivial, makes people feel like you've made things right. These basics need to be addressed with FOH staff. With food cost nearing the price of rent each month in Seattle, customers should feel empowered to speak their mind respectfully. My only reason for going into excruciating detail is the hope that this can be a teaching moment, and more people can eradicate passivity. Passivity is a threat to community, culture, service, and so many other integral parts of our society. It's OK to disagree in public. It's OK to check someone. It's OK to tell your server "No, honestly, it wasn't that good, here's why..". When we deny the truth about our experiences for fear of disrupting the status quo, we withhold an essential part of building stronger, more diverse and resilient communities. "Goblin D, don't you think this is a bit too deep for a food review?" No, and if you've made it this far, the two stars are for the two chefs who made sure we got our cake.
