I used to frequent this place but after dialing back on going out I haven't been here as often…read more However, this is definitely my favorite bar in Snohomish county. It's just the right vibe, the drinks are strong, and the bartenders are attentive and nice. My grandma also likes this bar and she doesn't drink but she likes to go here for her birthday which typically happens to be on Super Bowl Sunday. They never complain about her coming in early to "set up" a table and they never make her feel weird which I really appreciate because I mean she brings like board games and stuff to a bar and doesn't drink so it is a bit odd but glad the staff make her feel welcome. Even on Super Bowl Sunday, the staff checks on us like every 10 minutes, no matter how busy it is. They don't pressure you to get a drink or food but they do offer which is also something I very much appreciate. Aside from all of this, I once had someone tell me this place has the best clam chowder and I was thinking "......? Ew?? Clam chowder from a bar??" Well I still have never tried the chowder, but I can tell you the Ruben is fire and you should definitely get one. I like mine dipped in au jus. I can say that the vibe/customers inside can vary, since I don't go as frequently it may have changed but there's definitely regulars as well as people from different age ranges. They've got a nice dart set up, lots of seating, pool tables, and a very large bathroom (good mirror to take pictures in the ladies room) Definitely don't pass this place up if you're looking for a good sandwich, nice bartenders, chill vibes, and good drinks. I would recommend coming around like 9 or 10 because parking can fill up, but typically you can still find a spot to squeeze into even if you get there later. I have started and ended my night here and never regretted it lol

I had a fish and chips special, which was a great value at $12.99, but was pretty greasy. The others had burgers and pizza, which they said was just ok. Probably a great place for a few beers!

In long This one hovered in my mind between 4 and 5 stars for a while. It's not quite a basic place, but they maybe could live with being called that. Bottom line, even if it's not for absolutely everyone, the people who come in and enjoy it won't feel like anything's missing at all, so it's five stars. You pull up to kind of a crummy parking lot in front of kind of a crummy-looking strip mall, and you walk through a heavy security door. Nothing looks or feels fancy from outside. Inside, though, everything's clean and well lit. All the furniture is well made; there are lots of custom booths and the light fixtures all match. You don't feel a sense of luxury, but they built this place from the ground up, they built it right, and it's a nice antidote to the exterior vibe. There are at least a dozen huge flatscreens up around the room, at least downstairs. Evidently there's a whole upstairs that we didn't even check out. There aren't a ton of sports decorations, they keep it tidy--but the TVs are showing sports news or the game. This place must get thumping for big games. I can't even imagine trying to park those days. You get a warm greeting right away, with menus on your table in seconds. The menu is a lot of dependable old pub-grub favorites. Pizzas, burgers, sandwiches, chips, rings, fries, and so on. Thing is, they put a lot of thought and effort into each one, kinda going for bragging rights for the best in town on lots of simple dishes. They make the onion rings in house, I'd bet. You can add garlic and parmesan to your chips. The sandwiches are built right with plenty of filling. Prices are competitive, and you will definitely get full. Some people who love to eat love pub grub, and some of those people built the menu and designed the recipes here. We had a couple rounds of cocktails, and all of them did the trick. Made well, served right, good balance of sweetness, good flavors. If this place were a little closer we'd be here a lot.

What a cool place!…read more We visited a friend in Edmonds area for my husbands birthday. It was a great escape for the desert heat! That being said, we were looking for something fun to do one afternoon and being big board game lovers, Around the Table Game Pub seemed like such a perfect find! They do take reservations online to reserve tables in two hour increments for game sessions, but also have ample walk in seating outside and inside. In addition to being a board game pub they offered lots of varies games for sale or other world building accessories. They seemed to have used and new games available. Their menu featured plentiful of coffee options, beers, kombucha, a few menu items such as corn dogs and waffles fries and ice cream. They even had Blue Moon?! I felt like i was back in Michigan! One of the employees joked how they got various unique flavors in that sometimes were location specific, so definitely a fun surprise. We ended up visiting them twice, one for a mid morning game session and one for an afternoon. It was such a great way to past the time and they seem to have a great presence in the community. They have various events going on throughout the month. If you are interested in board games or want to get started, they seem like a great spot to start! I also loved that they did not have a cover charge, such as some game shops have, unless you order, which I do understand and I am sure helps with use and overhead of wear and tear on the games, but they seem to be a community gem and get ample support. Would definitely visit again! Service was great and everyone was so friendly on both of our visits.

The food was tasty with generous portions--we definitely left with leftovers. Service was friendly, but the pacing was on the slower side. We were expecting a more casual, quick meal, but it felt closer to a fine dining wait. Hubby ordered the Cobb salad and enjoyed it. Daughter went with the Carnivore pizza with thin crust - you can choose thin or regular crust. I had the fish & chips--with tots instead of fries. Both the fish and tots were super crispy, just how I like them. The slaw had a nice tang, and the house-made tartar sauce was on point. Overall, I was impressed with the food--just wasn't expecting the longer wait.

Let me start at the beginning…read more.. I originally went to their website to order something to go, but the only to go options they had were Doordash and Uber Eats. I live maybe 1.5 miles away, so I just wanted to order online and not have to pay a service to deliver that to me...that didn't seem to be an option. So, I drive there and the hostess / only waitress tonight (who was actually very nice) said "oh, you could have just called in and we can take the order on the phone" (well, that would have been nice to list on the website, but whatever. Then, I placed my order (for only 2 people). Personal pizza, chicken ceasar and tots. The other was a burger and tots. Now mind you, there were only 3 other tables with people eating in the entire place. She told me it would only take 15 minutes to get my food, so I go back to my car to wait, then at the 15 minute mark it wasn't done...not even close. I ended up waiting a total of 40 minutes for my food! Whenever I've been here before the food is decent, and sure...I expect to wait a little bit when it's busy, but I think the cooks were more concerned about getting out on time than cooking food! I hardly ever post reviews because I feel like it doesn't really matter anyway...but this was just too terrible of an experience to not share. I guess I'll have to budget 30 minutes the next time I want to order something here!

I was very fond of Blue Lightning and was sad when they closed and came over to Vessel to see if they may have beer similar to Blue Lightning. Alas, they did not but had a generous amount of guest taps. A woman who sat several seats away from me either was the (or a) owner and vowed to get their own beer on tap again soon. But unfortunately I didn't make it back before the ownership and the space got revamped again into more of a music venue now known as Club Hektic. This is a relatively new reincarnation and I haven't been here since the change and I don't know what has changed and what has stayed the same from my visit when it was known as Vessel Taphouse. But as Vessel I did enjoy the decor quite a bit. The idea is that it was pirate themed but I walked away thinking it was more Gothic. But either way the atmosphere was sure cool!
