    Live band and open mic.Tuesday.
    Tony B.

    BLUES JAM TUESDAY NIGHTS! If you sing, play, or love the blues, you will want to drop by Elmer's on a Tuesday night! I got there early and signed up on the list. I was the first one on it. The band plays an opening set before having the signed-up jammers come up. Then, it's mix and match guest musicians with the house band and other jammers. The venue is a pretty standard dive bar. Burgers and apps. I, however, had already had dinner, but I did have a couple of beers while waiting my turn to play. The wait staff is very very nice, and I think there was some snafu with my beer order, and the waitress made it up to me by buying me a small pitcher. Bless her heart. When I got called up, I played my harmonica with another jammer on guitar who also sang. We did a couple of numbers. Nobody ever asked me to get off the stage, but it was late, and I was tired, so I excused myself after about three tunes. I had a great time, though. It's been a while since I jammed at a bar. The last time was when I lived in Los Angeles, so this was my first attempt at the Seattle bar jam scene. So, I didn't try the food, so I can't really give the full Tony B review treatment. However, in rating my own expericnce, I wouldn't be able to deduct any stars. It's possible I may update this review later after trying the food. For now though, I'm going to go ahead and give five stars. BTW, if you enjoyed my review or found it useful funny, or cool, please don't hesitate to click the little button to say so, or better yet, go ahead and friend me. So go on! Press that button, and never miss a single one of my epic reviews in the Seattle area and beyond. Excelsior!

    Jeez, what did they do to this place? The walls are empty, the music is awful pop-country (and no point in putting my hard earned bucks in the jukebox, because it's barely audible), the pinball machines are gone, and it's lit like a dentist office. I guess they're trying to not be a dive bar, but that's what they did best! Service is good, food is fine, drinks are alright. (McCormick for a well bourbon though? C'mon, folks get with the times, and put Evan Williams on the rail) Make Elmers Great Again!! Put some junk up on the wall, paint it a dark color, and switch to lights that are no more than 3500k in color temp, dim them a little, turn the music up!

    Stopped in for a quick bite before a morning flight out of SeaTac airport since the neighboring breakfast spot had a 30min wait. Service was very fast and friendly.

    Jack Daniels Clock; cool.

    Do you want good food and drinks get yourself over to Elmers. Nice staff and very reasonable prices. Big portions. Love it for breakfast.

    It's a bar, and if you expect more, then head to Bellevue or Lake Union.

    The food is SO GOOD! Tried both the pork chop and the filet and both were so flavorful and cooked…read moreperfectly. Also, dedicated Gluten free fryer & a lot of gluten free options!! Such a good date night spot, it's so cozy. Couldn't recommend more!!

    My family and I went to Tin Room last night and while the restaurant itself was cute and the staff…read morewas awesome, the food left a LOT to be desired. As an appetizer, we ordered the grilled pork belly. Served on a bed of fennel & apple salad,(?) the pork was well-cooked, tender, and had a great smoky flavor. This was the high point of the meal for me. One of my family members ordered the fish & chips as an entrée and I tasted a piece of it; it was a tasty piece of fish and a nice tartar sauce, but the slaw served with it was over-seasoned and mostly inedible. My entrée was the pork schnitzel, and it was decidedly not what I was expecting. The pork was not pounded thin, but rather served as a 1inch think boneless, breaded pork chop on a bed of sautéed purple cabbage and a mustard sauce. It was tasty but not $30 tasty, especially as the pork chop in look & taste came off as Shake & Bake? I honestly am providing this place 3.5 stars because the pork belly was yummy and the other members of my party were mostly satisfied with the meal, tho one did complain that their burger was rather dry. While I would eat there again because I would want to eat the fish n chips and try that pork belly again, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone for their first time in Burien.

A really nice little brewery on downtown Burien. Dog (and people) friendly, with great service. There's no food service there but good food is easy to find in Burien these days so why in the world would any sane person let that stop them from dropping in. I don't drink a ton (like I used to), but this is my favorite watering hole. I only wish I had discovered them sooner. My first visit was only a month ago, but they've been there for 4 or 5 years, I think.

    I didn't remember it until I walked in but turns out I'd been here before…read more Unfortunately that means it wasn't bad or good, just not very memorable. Inside vibe was definitely not it. Friendly staff but it was so quiet I felt awkward even talking so my partner and I moved outside. There were actually a lot more people sitting outside and in groups talking and laughing. It would have been awesome if that vibe were inside but the music was just barely audible which doesn't give you much space to feel comfortable talking. I can see why everyone was outside. Good beer, good slushie but it shouldn't feel like a library inside. Very quiet and sterile. One and done for me. Hopefully this review plants this place in my memory so I give other breweries a visit instead.
