    Came by for some drinks with friends on a Saturday night and had a great time. We parked out front which was quite convenient and were able to grab some tacos from the food truck right outside. We got drinks inside, my friends really enjoyed the beige Belgian, but I enjoyed a lovely Frose. We got tacos outside and my friends and I got food from the taco truck. We got one asada taco, pastor taco, and a quesabirria. The portions were huge so that was nice. We sat outside which was cute but after a while it got windy and quite cold. The inside is kinda small and they had a music singalong so we sat outside. Also I had a hot chocolate, but that was alright since it was swissmiss so just alright and pretty watered down. Staff was nice.

    I usually rate mostly based off the TASTE of food or drink at an establishment. However, after awhile, I realized that when it comes to breweries, I have to put a higher value on atmosphere. Breweries have become more of a hangout than just a place to sit and judge beer, with my most constructively critical evaluations. So yeah... I'm trying to chill out. With that said, I don't love the beer here, but it's the ambiance that has convinced me to return. Yes, it's summer in Seattle, so it's gorgeous and this place has a wonderful outdoor area. I don't know how I'll feel about it once the gray returns, but I'll enjoy this while it lasts. The staff was patient, and they let me sample some beer before buying. I've tried the amber (eh, alright), the keylime sour (decent), a couple IPA's (eh, alright... but I'm not a huge IPA fan anyway), and the frosé slushie (heads up, there's no price listed that I could see, so I was surprised it was $12 for a cup, but I shouldn't have been surprised). It was served with an umbrella on a straw. Dammit, that made me happy. It also tasted good, but could've been stronger. So I really come for the open outdoor space. There's both an uncovered area to soak up the sun, and a covered area with a big tv where you can catch up on sports. I can feel the "ship canal" vibe with the old buildings and water nearby (which isn't visible from the brewery, but it's a short walk). There's even a pleasant little flower area along the border that I like to stare at as the performer provides awesome background music to my thoughts. Oh yeah, there's live music on Fridays. It isn't overcrowded, there's usually a food truck, and so far we haven't had trouble finding parking, although it is on a gravel lot. Overall, thumbs up.

    I didn't realize Old Stove had a location here. It's a fun spot and rustic in the best way. It's a a great option for watching baseball on a sunny summer afternoon or evening. They had a DJ performing which was kinda fun, looks like they might do live music too. The Hazy IPA was delicious. The folks behind the bar were super friendly and helpful. I'd stop by here any time I was in the area for a pint!

    This spot is great. A giant outdoor area, TV for sports, a really friendly and knowledgeable beertender, and a big sun/water roof. I'm having a hazy pale and it's citrusy and fantastic.

    I didn't even know this place existed! It was awesome. the staff were all friendly, the outdoor area was awesome, and the sours I drank were delicious! The selection wasn't HUGE for those Seattle beer snobs who need a big menu, but as a non-picky sour drinker, I loved it! They have cute merch, LOTS of room to sit outside, a big TV screen for sporting events, and even outdoor games to keep your snot-nosed children busy while you drink beer! I am also a firm believer in having food options necessary while drinking, and they had a small, yummy-looking menu, as well as a rotation of food trucks! I have already recommended this place to others.

    This is a neat location for a brewery, and they have a lot of space between the indoor and outdoor seating. The indoor seating has a vintage chic bar feel with the vintage signs on the walls and the cool sofa and chairs as well as tables if you like. They have some snack options but also have a food truck rotation going on, however, the truck that was supposed to be there at the time we were there was a no show, so no feedback on that. They are VERY dog friendly. I feel like this is one of those places that visitors and tourists would seek out if they want to hang out with the "locals" as opposed to the chaos at Pike Place. This is the best of Old Stove, local and loved.

    A nice brewery some good beer and dog friendly brewery. What more could one ask for while spending some good time with friends. They have indoor seating and nice patio seating too with heaters. Love their Belgian Blonde beer it is my fav. There usually is a food truck outside to grab some food. We always have a good time here.

    Love this new spot off Nickerson! They've added indoor seating since my last visit as well as outdoor tvs. A great place for a date or large gathering of friends. There's typically food options available and a number of old stove beers to choose from. The staff were super friendly. We sat outside on plentiful benches and played corn hole. Visit soon! The beautiful flowers around the seating area will be gone for the season before we know it.

We have bookmarked this place for the future, for when our parents are in town, lol. Either way, we had a chill experience here. The food came quickly. It was cool that they provided a digital menu on the table for us to order from. We were also able to pick the exact table we wanted (with a 5-minute wait), not too bad. The server was so busy that she couldn't attend to us much, but she was kind enough to bring us beer-tasting options a few times. I'm a big Porter/Stout fan, and they had a good selection of these, which surprised me. We'll be back to try more beers and a few more items on their menu that looked interesting. The food was pretty tasty, we were surprised by the quality, as it had been a while since we'd been to a Yard House. We'll be back for sure.

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.

I made a reservation ahead of time, but when we got there around 8 pm we realized we probably didn't need one because it was seat yourself and still pretty open. No complaints though, it made it easy to grab a table and settle in. The vibe was cool. Definitely a sports bar feel with TVs around, and as the night went on the DJ started getting set up which I can imagine makes it a fun spot on a Friday night for people meeting up after work or hanging out with friends. We decided to share a few things so we could try a little bit of everything. We ordered the catfish bites, lemon pepper wings, garlic parmesan wings, and macaroni and cheese. I'll start with the positives because the service was great. Everyone we interacted with was friendly and helpful, which always makes a difference. Food-wise, it just didn't totally hit for me. The catfish bites had a really tasty batter, but the texture threw me off a little. I personally like my catfish cooked a little harder, and these were a bit soft for my liking. The lemon pepper wings were a little too salty for me, and the wings themselves weren't cooked quite the way I like them. I tend to like my wings cooked a little harder, so these felt a bit soft and bulky to me (if that makes sense). The garlic parmesan wings were okay flavor-wise, but still similar in texture. The macaroni and cheese was okay. Nothing bad, just pretty standard. The menu itself has a good mix of comfort food and bar favorites like chicken and waffles, shrimp & grits, burger & fries....so there are definitely options to try. Overall, the service were great, the vibe was cool and I can definitely see this being a fun spot once the DJ gets going and the place fills up. The food just didn't quite land for me personally this time. I gave it 3 stars, but if Yelp allowed half stars it would probably be closer to a 3.5 for me. I'd still be open to coming back and trying a few other things on the menu.
