    Seattle Dog
    Monyca W.

    This is going to sound weird, but every once in a while I have a craving for a "fancy" hot dog. Specifically, a good dog with fun or unique toppings. On a recent afternoon in Seattle, I found Halcyon thanks to Yelp! and yes, it scratched that itch. We arrived around noon on a sunny Sunday and the bar area, which is very pretty, was mostly empty. But as we ate, a few dog parents (now we're talking about canine dogs, not the hot dogs I mentioned earlier) came through to sit outside with their pups. I had a Kim Chi Dog, which came with (you guessed it!) kim chi, as well as cream cheese, a house mayo, and green onions. My husband had the Seattle dog (hold the jalapenos, because he's spice-sensitive.) We split the furikake fries. Everything was delicious and hit the spot. It is a brewing company, so I felt compelled to try a beer. I got one of their dark beers (Midnight Coterie) and, while I only had a few sips before feeling full (funny how a dark beer will do that to you) it was the perfect companion to a bar lunch. This was a perfect spot for an afternoon beer and a dog. I hope to be back some day!

    In short: A big, bright, clean space with a kitchen full of izakaya-ish pub grub and a solid, full lineup of beers. In long: Back when I still drank beer, I was in this space for the first-night grand-opening bash thrown by the previous tenant. They spent 10+ years here making decent beer and countless happy memories, along with all kinds of interesting special events. Halcyon is here with essentially the same layout, stripped down a bit and repainted. Big dining room, bar lengthwise down the middle, with another dining room past that and the cool beer garden is still in place out to the left. The place used to look a lot fancier--dark wood, velvet curtains, brass railings. Old school. What's here now has kind of a freshened-up-industrial-space look, but that's weird only if you spent many a time in the old space. It feels nice now, too, in its own way. They have big shiny brass brewing equipment visible in the back of the dining room; the brewhouse used to be fully behind closed doors. We came in for lunch on a Friday, and after sitting for a minute or two were bluntly informed to order at the bar. Kid seemed nice enough in the end, and no doubt he's a competent bartender, but he certainly was not delighted to be at work on a sunny Friday afternoon. They have about 15 beers pouring, at least today. All kinds of stuff--the usual hoppy suspects, plus a saison, sours, an alt, maybe a couple other old-school european styles. I really dig that kind of diverse lineup, rather than 12 IPAs and another thing or two for variety. You can get flights of 4 4-oz tasters. They have quart crowlers to go in the cooler. We got veggie dumplings, pork dumplings, popcorn chicken, and one of the fancy hot dogs. Virtually everything has a Japanese touch to it--furikake, bonito, the chicken seemed like karaage. One hot dog is called the "umami bomb." Both kinds of dumpling were great, the hot dog was solid, and the chicken was gone before any of the rest of us could ask for a bite. Good food! Reasonably priced, too. You order, you get a little beeper/buzzer, and walk up to grab your tray. Food comes out pretty quickly. You can definitely order a whole meat worth of food at once, but I bet plenty of people order a little, get another beer, order a little more, and so on. Two paths to satiation. I have to say the mural in the beer garden is now much prettier than the old Henry walruses. I miss the historic connection to the Walrus Tavern, but we have plenty of Henry stuff in this town, and new ones go up quickly. This might be an unpopular opinion, but I find the new mural to be a perfectly fine addition to Greenwood Avenue. I dug this spot.

    Stopped by this amazing brewery in Greenwood on a busy Friday. Thankfully we had a reservation for our large group that evening. They have a solid beer collection and not to mention their food is top notch too. I tried their huckster, urban hike beers and for food had the pork dumplings (absolutely amazing though a tad spicy just the way I love it) and their Ode to Banh Mi hot dogs (tasty). All of us enjoyed our beers as well some were ipa fans and some were lager fans but everyone was happy with their selection. They have a huge indoor seating area with a projector too and have a few spots outside. Parking can be a pain but there is a paid lot in the back side of this brewery so thats convenient. All in all this place has great beers, great dumplings, good hot dogs & great service! Highly recommend if in the area.

    Came here to enjoy the sunny day. They have a large outdoor space with several tables and we were able to sit outside with our dog. My husband said he enjoyed their beer. I came for the food. Their hot dogs are some of the best hot dogs I've had. We ordered the Seattle dog, which if you're not aware, it's a hot dog with cream cheese, jalapeños, and onions. We also ordered the Japanese umami bomb that came with a chili crunch and green onions that was very good. I'd definitely come back here and highly recommend this place.

    Moody vibe checks are on point in this dimly lit brewery that could easily serve as an art gallery space as much as an intimate setting for drinks and conversation with friends. The food was great and the Barley Wine smashed. The brewers here aren't afraid of new flavors or brewing techniques. Kudos Halcyon. May Halcyon days be here to stay!

    BBIS imperial stout
    Brian F.

    I came here on their opening night with a bunch of friends looking to support a new local business. They're still in the beginning of their design of the interior but there is also an outdoor patio with a decent amount of tables. There are also a couple of areas inside as well as a large projector playing sports. My first drink was the BBIS imperial stout which was $8 for a 7oz drink. It was a stronger beer at 14% but was still slightly sweet. My second drink was the robust porter which was lighter than the stout but still had a slight hoppy after taste and a good amount of coffee flavor. My last drink was the red cap whitewood cider which was slightly dry but a very light and refreshing way to end the night. What I really liked about this place is that it was not super loud inside with blaring music so you can actually do what people come here for: having great conversations with friends. I didn't have any of the food but they are mostly Asian fusion hot dogs with ingredients like kimchi and kewpie mayo. This is another one of the great breweries in the area that you will always have a good time at.

    I had a really lovely time here Lunar New Year's eve. It was kind of empty which surprised me but I really liked the quietness and spaciousness it provided. The staff was really kind and I loved the envelope they gave to celebrate - $1 off my pint woo! I also liked my drink - first dream and the storytelling behind it. Even the name of the brewery is cool. I'd come whenever I'm in the neighborhood.

    dumplings

    This place was so good! Decided to stop in and got their sour on tap which was delicious. These chicken dumplings were sooo spicy but truly were exactly what I needed. The lady at the bar was soo nice and talked to me for a bit. Excited to go back and try more. Prices were great too!

    A collaboration beer with Halcyon and Flying Bike!

    Do they allow dogs indoor or outside?

    Only outside or in the separate room that's often rented out to private parties.

    What a fun and friendly place. Very welcoming. Fun snacks made in the air fryer in the back room…read more Excellent cocktails with amusing names. Go on the early side as it is quite popular and seating is limited.

    This is a fairly small, hole in the wall, neighborhood bar with speakeasy vibes, though it is…read morefairly easy to locate the bar since the name of the bar is painted in a large wall. We walked in as a party of 2 on a Thursday around 9pm and it was not too busy - probably half the bar was occupied. We opted to sit at one end of the bar because the bar seats are where the vibes are at. The place is decorated in a fairly elegant and old school manner, so you are somewhat transported away from the outside reality. We got the Tobe's Thique Mint and Garden Party. I loved the creaminess and cinnamon afternotes of Tobe's Thique Mint, and it also looks somewhat pretty. It is quite a heavy drink, so one was enough to fill me up. The Garden Party was a bit of a miss since as much as I tasted the orange and grapefruit, it was a very light drink and tasted a little watered down. The biggest plus is that the drinks are fairly affordable compared to the greater Seattle area, priced at $14. I liked how their menu says 14 for $14, as they have just 14 cocktails to choose from and the drinks seem to rotate seasonally. For us, we went just in time to still have the spring menu, but they will change to the summer menu on June 20.
