As a cider fan, I was especially happy to see a solid variety of options. Although I had a frustrating experience with the kitchen, but I'd still come back. It was an especially hectic day with multiple events and a soccer game, so it seemed like everyone arrived at once. I ended up waiting about an hour for my food, which was disappointing. That said, the staff handled the situation really well, there was consistent communication, and they took the time to engage with us, which I appreciated. Still, the kitchen delays and order issues shouldn't be overlooked. On the bright side, the drinks were excellent and reasonably priced. They also have a great selection of games, which I'm looking forward to trying next time. The location is another plus, just a few minutes' walk from the T-Link, making it very convenient.

Came here for pizza and mini golf and had a fun time overall!…read moreThe pizza was good, but not great. It was a little on the dry side, so it could've used a bit more sauce or cheese. Still decent, just not something I'd rave about. The mini golf is definitely the highlight. It's really cute how the course spells out "SEATTLE," and I loved the little Space Needle to end the last of the mini golf holes. That said, there are only 9 holes and they're pretty small, so it goes by quickly. Drinks are all on tap and feature local/Washington breweries, which I really appreciated. I love supporting local! We came during their February deal and it was such a great value -- $45 for a pizza, two pint glasses to take home, two drinks, and unlimited games. Honestly, that made the experience feel totally worth it. Duffleboard was fun, though it looked a little outdated. They also had cornhole and a ping pong table, which made it feel like like there variety of things to do. Loved the vibes/ambiance (fun art and murals) and music. Overall, a fun spot for a casual hangout -- especially if you catch one of their deals!

I went to visit this bar when I was in town to visit For Emerald City Comic Con…read more This bar was incredibly cool! It was part of Seattle's underground when a city was built on top of a city. It's below the billiards hall down a long stairwell. The ambiance is very cozy with decor from an age not long forgotten. I went on a Thursday night, and there was no DJ, but they did have music playing. It was also the first Thursday where the area turns into an arts walk. That was really fun to slip away from the art galleries and have a drink. They had several cocktails and I had a new one on the menu that was black tea infused bourbon and peach. I am not a bourbon drinker at all and that was one of the best cocktails I've had in a long while. It did take a while to get the drinks as there was a full house that night. But it was worth the wait. I do recommend the Pharmacy for anyone that is visiting Seattle or if they are a local.

Frankly, I'd never even heard of the Bookstore Bar before some friends of mine took me there. No,…read moreit's not a book store, it's a bar! We'd arrived about 9 on a Friday, and were surprised to find it mostly empty (a group of 4 at one table, and another patron at the bar). But by the time we left a little after 10, however, the place was hopping. The thing about bars: when they look empty, no one wants to go in for fear there's a reason that they're empty. But the minute you hit some critical mass, the bar will fill. Exactly that scenario played out the night we were there. Don't be dissuaded! It's a nice bar, cozy, with some hidden nooks and crannies to take a seat in, and also a reasonable selection of drinks. We all enjoyed it immensely.
