Smattering variety of beer (1-2 offerings per "kind" of beer, non-alc included), so I'd say this place is more for vibes and location, rather beer-focused. That being said, the vibes were good! Random barrels and umbrellas, as well as maybe 10 or so picnic tables across the two outdoor patios (dog-friendly). Saw they also have private event space off to the side. Plenty of indoor seating as well.

But stout is the one kind of beer I actually don't mind. And they have a pretty good one. They also let you order food from next door which is nice. The crab dip was also really good.

Bartenders always friendly and noise level not too bad. They have a couple of tv's so we were able to catch the Mariners game.

Both are dog friendly and our waiter even brought my dog a water bowl! Our servers were attentive and friendly. Food and drink were prepared and served quickly. Thank you Luke and Jeff for the wonderful service! I would recommend the brisket sandwich with a fries upgrade. The brisket is tender and juicy and pairs well with the slaw. The ciabatta bun is the best vehicle for all the deliciousness of the sandwich. But the stand out for me was the fries! Perfectly seasoned and fried to perfection, dipped in the aioli...YUM! To drink, I had the non-alcoholic spicy blueberry mocktail. It's spicy from the Fevertree ginger beer and slightly sweet from the blueberry. The fresh mint was a fragrant and delightful garnish. It comes in the coolest copper mug! If you're in the Ballard/Fremont area looking for outside seating, cocktails/mocktails, and tasty food, make sure to check out The Barrel Thief!

I really liked this place -- it had such a welcoming vibe, and the unique décor was amazing. From…read morethe moment we walked in, Luke the bartender immediately greeted us with a warm and sincere demeanor. We initially thought it was a fine dining restaurant and were a little disappointed to see a limited menu. However, it's actually a fantastic spot for drinks and light bites. We decided to stay since we had never been there before, and Luke was so gracious we almost felt bad leaving! We ordered the meat and cheese platter along with a couple of drinks, and everything was Grade A. I'm giving it an A+ though, because of Luke's outstanding service.

While I love my sours, I can't ever resist a slushie at Ridgewood, and the additional gummy toppers are such a nice small little detail that goes a long way! We ended up watching a couple of the World Cup games here and there were plenty of TVs to support a game day environment.

Their daily 3-5 happy hour makes it particularly fun to watch college football on Saturdays or NFL on Sundays. They have a dark and cozy interior with a lovely shaded patio on hot days. We typically order the same thing each happy hour - I love the fried chicken sliders (Nashville hot) and my husband gets the fried chicken basket. We always pair that with a vieux carre. Total tab is under $35 not including tax and tip. A complete steal in Seattle these days! Service is usually quick and thoughtfully-spaced with enough time to make a dent in the drinks before the food arrives. It's the perfect spot to meet up with friends, host parents, and watch sports of any kind (the mariners game is always on).

It was just Amber and the other owner working, and the service was terrible. From the moment we were there, it genuinely felt like they didn't want customers in the restaurant. Everything felt unwelcoming and like we were an inconvenience for simply being there. I understand places can be short-staffed, but when the owners themselves are the ones providing such poor service and making customers feel unwelcome, that says a lot. Really disappointing experience, and we definitely won't be back.

Outsiders has a solid smoky, flavorful bbq for sure! I had the burnt ends which were pleasantly fatty, as they should be. The fries were crispy and not greasy. And the bread was golden brown, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The sauce is probably more southern... which is fine. In KC it sweeter... but the important part is the meat. Do this! Go here! Try it! We will be back. Seating was great, spacious..indoor and outdoor seating. Clean and like dining in the back yard. The staff was very kind and the wait was not long...and they were very busy since we came on July 4th.

They happened to be having an event with live bands and were donating money from drink sales! There was a good crowd and all the live music was actually enjoyable! There's a food truck parked outside and we tried the carnitas, mole, and tinga tacos which were all very tasty. Unfortunately they ran out of a lot of options by the time we got there around 6:30pm. The bar is right through the front doors with a smaller room to the right, and bathrooms and the large hall on the left. The bartender was super nice and we liked our drinks! We agreed that this is a place we need to come back to more often, especially in the summer when it's warm and we can enjoy the outdoor area!

Wish I asked for a name but the guy working was so friendly. My only call out is they don't have much for food (the website was a bit misleading, we were under the impression they had their full menu) - only hot dogs and food trucks depending on timing. That being said, they have a carry in policy so had we known we could have brought our own!
