    a glass of beer on a table

    Great bar to order flatbread and beer! AND BONUS: they allow dogs!! This place is so cute and located in The Greenwood neighborhood of Seattle (north of downtown). It's a very small bar, with parking on the street, and can hold maybe 35-40 people comfortably. However, I've heard it's one of the hot spots to watch Sounders game, so I assume on game days, that place gets packed! I'm not a huge beer drinker, but all their beers from breweries local to Seattle or the PNW. The beer I DID try was the wanderlust (an IPA) which was crisp and delicious. Not too heavy like a lot of beer can be. Food is pretty good here: we ordered a pretzel that came with two mustards and also one of their flatbreads that had some pesto, sundried tomato, pepperoncinis and cheese. Both were delicious and paired with the beer well. Would highly recommend this spot for watching Sounders games, or just coming in for a quick beer or wine!!

    Girls night out!

    Super cute, trendy spot! It's got a very modest store front! In fact when the Lyft dropped us off we almost didn't see it! Very quaint little spot in Phinney Ridge! The inside is decked out in reclaimed wood. The best part is, dog friendly and they serve food. I will say I was quite impressed with the service here. Because it is so small, they only keep one bartender at a time. On a Saturday night the place was poppin' and despite that, the gal was super friendly and on top of drink refills and staying attentive with the whole bar! And did I mention she also preps the food too?!? The gal was amazing. I can't even imagine having to juggle drinks and prepping the food orders! The menu is really small; only small appetizer plates and flatbread pizzas. We ordered these mini grilled cheese sandwiches, they called them "Mini Melts". We got the cheddar with rosemary bites and they were amazing. We also got the pretzel twist. It came with 2 different mustards. One was super spicy and I wasn't expecting it... I started sneezing like crazy, the spice was too much for my nose! Ha! I would've liked to have cheese dip as an option as well! Overall, great spot! Decent selection of local (and some not-so local) beers on tap! They also have wine, which was the main reason we selected The Dray. My friend is a wine drinker, so I had to chose a place to go besides a brewery! This was the best of both worlds!

    Cute divey small spot and dog friendly. I can't remember the bartenders name but she has good vibes. Mostly IPAs and indoor and outdoor covered seating.

    I was doing my laundry yesterday and stopped in this place to get a beer. I have been once before but I really enjoyed my time here. Alex is a cool bartender. I happened to have met the owner and he is very nice and welcomed me to Seattle and his bar. The patrons are friendly and I like the "dog friendly" environment. Dogs are people too! They make sandwiches too. I had a bacon and cheese sandwich that I shared with a patron. I will definetly be back and now I don't mind laundry day! I'm a fan!

    Nice place guys! The Dray is a warm cozy place to duck in for some tasty craft beer. With a constantly revolving selection of 12 beers on tap and a big bottle selection, there is always something to catch the eye. The atmosphere is great. It's well lit and open and the woodwork is nice. The sandwiches are tasty and the staff is friendly and courteous. C h e c k i t o u t

    They occasionally play soccer on the TV, but otherwise the TVs aren't a big distraction.

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!

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.

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.
