Authentic German food and bier...wunderbar! I was in town this week and offered to take my son out for dinner (he is a bachelor here making his way in his new "hometown."). I let him pick the dinner spot and he quickly offered Prost! I love good German bier and was on board. From the outside, it looks like a local neighborhood tavern. But stepping inside transports you to German. Lots of white stone steins line the backbar. We surveyed the place, the food menu and (of course) the bier menu. All looked good...so we ordered. Bratwurst and a pretzel (to share). We loved it all...esp the wonderful server who took care of everything from the greeting to our order...to making the food and delivering it. The brat was great. The pretzel was great. The bier was great. We will be back. read more

Prost! West Seattle - The bar - Pubs Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Prost is a fun, affordable, and friendly neighborhood German bar in West Seattle. Definitely feels like a place of community where regulars hang out. There was a solid selection of authentic German beer along with a small food menu with pretzels and the like. For the ultra fans, they have a point system where you can earn various merchandise from going in often. Merchandise can range from a T-shirt to a reserved bar stool with your name on! Although you have to be going there for years to earn the bar stool. If I lived in the neighborhood I would definitely make that a goal! The pretzel was good but definitely the highlighters the beer and atmosphere. read more

Solid beer bar. What else can I say about Prost? I'm always happy to go in and drink some of their high-quality German beer and sit on picnic tables like in a Bavarian village. I'm not sure how you get to drink out of one of the boots or mugs on the wall, but they always just give me a regular glass. I recently went to Germany and found that the beer is exactly the same as here in my neighborhood preached. I go for the Pilsner or the loggers and there's always a great choice. It can get a little busy in here and waiting at the counter for your beer is really part of the experience. I usually bother the people next to me with some joking and engaged with the bartender to try to get a laugh. The food selections here seem great for a German beer bar and we almost never go without getting a giant pretzel with the mustard sauces. The ambience is great. The service is great. The people are great. The location is great so I guess everything's great highly recommend read more

If you're in West Seattle Prost is a must stop in for proper pint and a pretzel with beer cheese!

Best place to chill and have a drink and catch a game!! Good place to find German beers where you can't get anywhere in West Seattle

Come here for a great taste of Germany! They serve food, beer and cocktails. The place has a lot of seating, from chairs and tables , to high chairs and a couple outside seating as well. I won't be able to review their food, cause my group only had drinks here. -- And for the drinks, they have good choices of German beer on tap, my husband's cousin who is a regular have tried all of them and loves it! I ordered a cocktail not on the menu, "The Penicllin", and the bartender - Brian whipped it up effortlessly for the first time and it was amazing!!! Service was great! Brian was so friendly, and accommodating. They have a punch card system , if you live local, it's an amazing deal and a great excuse to drink lol. Every time you buy a beer, they punch your card, and every card you finish you get a cool prize! read more

Stop 1 in my Seattle trip. I came here for some beer after my flight with a friend who lived close by. This place is what I imagine a German Pub to look like in Germany. Beer: 5 Stars***** To be honest, I don't remember the names of the beer that I tried because they were all in German. I do remember Oktoberfest! All 3 beers that I tried were all very good. If I lived in the area, I could definitely see myself being a regular here. Food: 4 Stars **** Pretzel was delicious and it went well with the two types of mustard that was provided. I came here after 10 so the kitchen was closed, so I couldn't Try anything else except the pretzel. Service: 5 stars***** They're so friendly here! I was offered a free beer and he gave us a tasting of one of his favorite beers because I wasn't sure which one I should order for my next round. read more

Prost! West Seattle - Pretzel - Pubs Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This is quickly becoming our go to German bar. Wish it was closer to home, but love the beer options they have and the feel of a small hangout. Pros? Typically some seats available even during Covid Friendly servers Knowledgeable about german style beers Simple but tasty food All german style beers... which are some of our favorite Nice patio area with some hot (and some not so hot) heaters Fun decorations to observe inside Tips? Try some of the bottle options... they're worth it! The sweet mustard that comes with the pretzel (and the pretzel) are *chefs kiss* read more

Had great drinks, good conversations with the bartender, and a great atmosphere! I definitely will be back whenever I'm in West Seattle.

Do not got here if you took the bus. they just don't care when you want to close out. They bring you the check whenever they want.l!! They dgaf what you got going on!!!!!!! Good beer though. read more

Unfortunately like the rest of basic Seattle, for being a "German" pub it does not hold up to the culture. They won't even play sound for a US Womens World cup game. Then they ask why Womens soccer players get payed less. Sadly nobody here cares. Had to drive up to George and Dragon to listen to a game. This is just another basic bar with german beer. read more

Was hoping this would be our new neighborhood spot, but, come on, entitled mothers with their screaming babies? They don't even step outside, just force you to listen to what they've chosen to listen to 24/7. I guess this is the culture that the owners want, but when I want a beer and a pretzel, I don't want to go to a nursery. read more

Absolutely terrible service. Literally, we get in and the server asks for our id's, normal. She took forever to check mine, I know I look young but I don't look that young. She even held it under the light and made a comment about it not working. She acted like it was fake. Finally, she takes a look at my friends. We weren't ready to order yet, so she moved on. The bartender then comes to ask us what we want and then checks our id's as well. This is the first time since I've moved to West Seattle that this has happened. This is actually the first time in my life that I have ever been id'd twice. My friend ordered the beet salad and I the pretzel. The bartender came back to check that my friend has ordered the beet salad and not cucumber. The cucumber salad came out. My friend told them her order was wrong and they said they would make a new one. Typically, when a place gets your order wrong they take it away or tell you its comped. Since no one took it away, she figured she'd just eat it. The beet salad came and my friend said it was good. The pretzel was okay. We ask for the bill and they had charged her for both salads. When she told the server about it, the sever literally said, "the bartender came to check the salad order" with this tone that was very reminiscent of 'you're wrong.' Then she added, "well you ate it." My friend didn't bother fighting the bill because it honestly wasn't worth it. But never have I felt such disrespect or terrible customer service in my life. This establishment will never receive my or any of my friends' patronage. To be honest, the attitude of the server leads me to believe they probably don't care anyways. read more

With at least 5" of snow on the ground, you: 1) shovel the steps and the sidewalk 2) take the dogs to the off leash area to play 3) find a place within walking distance for a beer and maybe food. For us that would be the new Prost! in West Seattle. They normally open at 3pm on weekdays. Not today. Today they opened early. Smart. Very smart for a new business. It was warm inside and very busy. There was one guy working and he is easily the best "server" I've seen in a very long time. Very cool under pressure. We had two pretzels, a plate of sausage and two Franziskaners. All very tasty and satisfying. When we left, he was in the weeds...with a smile on his face, a wave and a thank you. Ja gut! read more

Prost! West Seattle - really good pretzels...and very hot mustard - Pubs Near Me - Seattle, Washington

If you're not drinking beer, don't bother. Food is sub-par at best. Ordered the pretzel with 3 cheeses and "pork". What we got was a clearly microwaved conglomeration of Costco frozen pretzel, ham from a local grocery, and greasy cheese slices. The "marinated beet" salad came with an unpleasant side of fruit flies! To top it off the service was barely passable. Server couldn't give any more info or recommendations beyond what we could read on the menu. Pick yourself up a decent 6-pack, some pretzels and stone ground mustard at the store and save yourself the trip. read more

Das is Goode! I have been to their Lake Union location Feierabend and love taking friends there that want to do something a little different. Prost West is like it's baby brother in comparison but when you really look at it, this location has a lot of pro's that are overlooked. The smaller size leads to more socializing with new friends, hey this is how the set up was when I went to Germany and lets face it after a the large stein full of bier everyone's a lot more interesting. My only concern was that the food selection wasn't as good, but what they do have (mostly brawts) is really really good. This is one of those places that any neighborhood would be lucky to have. A perfectly authentic old world European pub where the biers are strong and the friends are plenty. read more

This place used to be my place to go in West Seattle. After a year or so since my last visit I decided to go back, and I was very disappointed. The staff was not friendly, but whatever the beer was great. The two stars come from the food... I can take some unfriendly staff, but not bad food. We ordered the cheese and meat plate, and don't get me wrong I have been to the other locations in Greenwood, Roosevelt, and downtown, so I know what cheese and meat platter should look like. What I got was literally the same cheese platter you get from QFC plus some apple slices and mustard. In addition, my husband ordered the bratwurst plate, this one was clearly microwaved, where the inside was super hot. Definitely this place is not holding up the quality as the other 3 locations. read more

Beer: good Service: average Came here on a beautiful Saturday afternoon and they would not let us sit on the patio because it was "closed". Huge bummer since there are few nice days in Seattle? I'd recommend calling ahead as that was the only reason we stopped here. Maybe next time! read more

Alright Yelpers...I have been waiting 5 months to write this review. Prost! was the first bar I frequented after moving to West Seattle in Feb...and its still my favorite. The beers are great and all served in their proper glassware. A 0.5L is around $5 and a 1L is usually about $9.50. They even have 2L "Boots" available. They require a credit card in case you break it ($50) - and the house rule is you cannot set the boot down once your party has started drinking it. The food is also good if you are looking for a quick bite. I recommend the pork loin or Tyler's Reuben...all less than $10 They have a couple of outdoor tables in the front (dog friendly) and 2 picnic-like tables in the back. Be sure to join the Stein Club - your first punch card gets you a t-shirt. After 5, you get your own plaque on the wall. Big shout out to the great Bartenders: Kristi, Dan, Tom, Kate, Tyler, etc! read more

I'm kind of a commuter now and there was a few days where I needed to wait in West Seattle for a ride and camped out at Prost! It's really a taste of Germany in Seattle that has a following of locals that make this place very inviting. The bartenders treat you as a regular even when your not and the bar food is a taste of Germany and I really enjoyed everything I've ordered. The beer comes in an appropriate mug to match the beer that's kind of cool. If you're tired of the hipster IPA scene, here's you a place to go European. read more

Prost! West Seattle - a view of a bar - Pubs Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Love Prost!!! We went there when they were just opened. They got decent selection of beers , my fave is franziskaner, so smooth and carries fruity flavor. I also like Lager. They have a full bar so you don't have to limit yourself to just beer. We always order a side or two of landjaeger with hot mustard. They always have some games on so I gave me a vibe of sport bar, though this place is too small for one. It's always crowded, so sometimes you have to stand around until someone leaves. Staff is nice. read more

We tried Prost! this afternoon for lunch. Great selection of beers, and plenty of food options (Salads / Sandwiches) - it's a bar people! There was one girl running the place. We were right in at 1pm - and in less than 20 minutes, there were 15 people in the bar! They really could use another hand when it gets this busy! This is why I took away one star. They appear to be one of a four location German Pub/Bar chain around Seattle. I look forward to trying the other locations. read more

It's ok.. Their menu isn't very big and most of the choices are sausage on a roll or sausage on a plate with sauerkraut. The pretzel was the highlight of my husband's meal. But $4? Ouch The negative is that they don't offer fries. Curry ketchup and fries are the best! Big selection of German beers. Slow service since it seemed there was only 2 people working one behind the bar and one serving tables. All and all I won't be back. Long drive for so so food. read more

Prost has a really cool ambiance. On the smaller size for a bar but has lots of beer german options i tried 2 and they are very good. They have a stamp card for prizes as well. Fun idea to get people to come back! I also tried their plate of pate with bread slices and apple. Their pate is very good and HUGE chunk! Pretzel is nice and toasty kinda on the smaller size and their beer cup can be gigantic depending how much you order read more

Home base. Prost! is SO cozy and we love the staff. They are all so welcoming and friendly. Go for a couple of beers and leave having made new friends. We have met so many lovely people while bellied-up at the bar. On tap, you can expect to find a wide range of rotating traditional German beers served up in a variety of sizes to whet your whistle. If you join the Stein Club, you can receive rewards for getting your card punched each time you drink a half liter of beer... as if we needed an incentive. We've already gotten Stein Club t-shirts, patches and my husband just received his Prost! West Seattle hat. Prost! also hosts a bunch of community events. We've never been the type to participate, but joined in for the Beer Olympics and had more fun that we should have. Too much fun. The food menu has a good selection of traditional German snacks. Oddly enough, we surprisingly haven't eaten here enough that I could make any solid recommendations. Snacks are good so you can drink more beer ;) If you haven't been yet, just GO already! read more

Prost, a small German beer and food bar brings all of the comforts of beer and bratwurst one can desire. Pretzels, sauerkraut, beets, cucumber salad, and sandwiches round out a small but tasty food menu while the drink menu features many beers on tap, more in cans, wine and a full bar. Great for a cold one on a warm summer day. read more

Last year around the same time I visited West Seattle and fell in love with this place. Coming back and stopping by again this year because it was so memorable for me. Great vibes, outstanding beer, food pairs well with the beer. It's the best, I love to stop by any time I can. read more

This by far is my favorite place to have a beer because the beer is beyond comparison. For my friends that like the dark, heavy ales and me, who won't drink beer that isn't golden, this is "FN" fantastic! You know you're not crazy when you take friends and without solicitation always tell you the beer is awesome. The kraut, sausage and mustard selections and great taste are the bait to lure you into a world where you'll need AA to bail you out. It's great, it's great, it's great. For those of you guys who have girlfriends that have the "I don't drink beer because of the taste," this place will make them take back the comment. How do I know? My girlfriend WAS one of those people. Also, if you have friends from out of town, do the boot. Four guys can knock that out in under five minutes. I know that from experience. read more

My mom and I were cruising West Seattle for a new place to eat, so we called up her friend for the name of the German pub she liked: Prost! When we arrived it was PACKED! I think it was due to a game on TV, ao we stood in back near the wall and waited. It was kind of sad, some people were all by themselves at these really big tables, and no one would even look at us for fear they might be obligated to let us sit with them. I guess you can't expect single guys at bars to actually be gentlemen. We finally got a table (one of the lone men was leaving), and some beers on the way! I ordered the Warsteiner Dunkel and my mom a Honig Dropf mixed drink. Mmmmm tasty beer! For whatever reason the front and back doors were wide open even though it was cold outside and causing a frightful draft. Needless to say, I wanted something warm to eat to counter the chill, so I got the daily special - a pork stew. There were lots of meaty pork chunks, potatoes, some veggies in a yummy broth that added great flavor but didn't overpower the flavors of the other ingredients. My mom's bratwurst was delicious as well, what little I got to try. :) Overall I think this is a delightful little German pub. I like that it's smaller, just remember to not go on a game night if you want to sit down! The staff were all friendly, even if a little frazzled by the large numbers of people. Sure, they don't have a huge selection, but I think it's more about creating a little pocket of community that is reminiscent of what a small town German pub might be like. read more

PROST! IT'S FAMILY-FRIENDLY! a bar that allows children!? Heck yes! This just made nannying a LOT more fun! IT'S MODERATELY GERMAN! little-known fact: sandwiches just so happen to be ranked in my top three favorite foods! LESSER-KNOWN FACT: I FREAKING LOVE SAUERKRAUT! AND MUSTARD! AND PRETZELS! Their beers are FANTASTIC! I had a ridiculously great time with my bosses and their children - drinking beers, eating sausages (and sauerkraut) and pretzels... with mustard! PROST! YEAH! !!!!!!! read more

Small, dark, cozy pub with German food & beers with a crowd of soccer fans staring at the TV to cheer on the Sounders --Sweet! This West Seattle bar was packed - and rightly so - it's a great spot to eat and drink and take in a game. Great medium-dark brews and a sampler plate of apples, meats, cheese and pickles. And the Braunschwager was tasty and rich - served with soft bread - and way more than anyone should ever consume in one sitting. Those Germans - they put the H in Heavy. Prost is the Most. read more

This is a lovely, low key German pub in West Seattle. The beer selection is really great. Food is somewhere between a 3 and 3.5 stars TBH. Also a great place to watch world cup matches. There are two televisions and beer garden style picnic benches. read more

Prost! is German inspired and has a menu full of fantastic German beer. Unfortunately, when I went there, the menu didn't quite match the actual selection. Granted, the place had only been open a few days, so I'll cut them some slack on that. The so-called traditional German cuisine, however, was unforgivably poor. I'm a big fan of German food, which I'd call the comfort food of Europe, and nothing beats a big, perfectly done Curry Wurst, served in a Berlin dive at three in the morning. Crispy and snappy on the outside, juicy and delicious on the inside, topped with curry ketchup and steak fries. I've traveled all over Germany and eaten everywhere from truck stops and in-the-boonies family restaurants to four star hotels. The food at Prost! is downright sad by comparison to anything, I've had in Germany. Take aforementioned Curry Wurst, substitute the fries for two slices of store-bought, pre-sliced bread. Straight from the bag. And the sausage? Good quality, but soggy to the point, where I could not even finish eating it. It had never seen a pan, just hot water. In other words: Disgusting. My friend ordered something else, but I'll spare you the details on that, except to say that we're in the same ball park. Which reminds me: why is there a flat-screen tv over the bar, showing American football games? How is that traditionally German? I'm giving them two stars for the decor (very cozy, apart from the tv), the service (not too fast, but nice and friendly) and the quality of what beer they did have. All in all: Not authentic, bad food, good beer and not completely without charm. But there are better places to go in West Seattle. read more

Finally made it to the new Prost this friday. It was pretty packed but the service was still spot on. Props. Nice ambience. I just wish they had spatzle on the menu.... read more

Keep it simple. This place is all that. You go for a German beer. They've got a selection of ten or so. If you're into German beers, and you don't want anything else beer-wise, well, this is your spot. As for the food. You've gathered from other Yelpers that this isn't really a dinner spot. It's food to keep the beer in its place. That's all. Beer and brats. Their menu on line and in-haus sort of gives off pretensions that it's going to be something more. But just let it be what it is: sausage, bread, kraut, and great mustard. Calling the place a 'restaurant' is a stretch. Don't bitch that it's not got any vegan, don't hope for a great salad for 'the other people', and don't think you can talk them into a grilled cheese or anything. The 'kitchen' is a 6x6 space with a toaster and a weenie boiler. Go in thinking it's a beer and brats place, and you'll leave satisfied that you got that right. read more

I think this is a great neighborhood pub with a very German flare! They have nice outdoor seating out back and in front. They are kid and dog (outside) friendly! They have a good selection of German beers (not my favorite type of beer hence the 4 stars). They have a nice food selection and good service. We were there during Oktoberfest and it was very festive! We will plan to take our family and friends when they are craving german beer or food! read more

Great place, fun beers. Service can get slow if it's busy but not too bad. The bartenders are knowledgeable about the beers so use them to help you, as most you've never heard of. The food is fun and authentic. Oh, and the night I went had 3x as many women as men and the place was packed. A superb ratio. read more

Prost! West Seattle - Pubs Near Me - Seattle, Washington

As a newly settled west seattleite I have become a huge fan of this neighborhood bar! The food is great (pretzel sandwhich is like crack) and the beer is good, and the sizes are better! They only offer German beer which doesn't cater to my hoppy needs but the ambience and amazing staff outweigh my desire for IBUs! Great hangout with friends, or game viewing I highly recommend this place. The regulars there are also great to chat with and help enhance the experience. Summer time is the best as they have the outdoor seating but keep in mind you need to head to the bar for service. Cliff Notes: Awesome Bar, Excellent Staff, Great Food, Great People. Best neighborhood bar. read more

Neat little West Seattle spot for this pub. I think they dropped the ball with the bigger picture though. Nice decor but the big screen tv sports bar vibe feels misplaced. I enjoyed my brat and kraut and even the mustards (when it finally got delivered as our server ended her shift and never gave our order to the kitchen) but how difficult is it to do a decent brat and kraut? Not very. I was satisfied with the beer selection and the Dinkel Acker Dunkel that I ordered was chilly and splendid. The menu selection is VERY basic and small. $3 for the Landjager mit Brot (a small portion of German sausage with a couple small slices of marbled bread and two types of mustard)? Service was friendly. Ixnay the big screen and improve the German menu offerings to get one or two more stars out of me. read more

I'm never in a rush when I'm here, so the slow service doesn't bother me... it's pretty charming. The vibe is super chill and I really like that. They have a ton of beers to choose from and a punch card! They don't have a full kitchen, but do little bites like Braunschweiger, pretzels, and sausages. Yummy snacks to have with beer and easy to share with friends. Minus one star because they leave *a lot* of foam on the beer and that's really annoying. I've had pours where only like 3/4 of the glass is beer. :( Cute spot in the neighborhood to drink a few with your pals- perfect! read more
