Came back to go to the EDM Brunch show…read more The show is on the patio which is decorated in a tiki style. The heaters and enclosed patio make it comfortable in the winter. Our server was busy but attentive when she could be. More concerned with the tables ordering lots of drinks it seemed. The show was fun. More burlesque than drag but still fun. Lots of good music and the host was full of energy. I had the Monte Cristo and was very happy with it. I got the Daiquiri to drink and this was not what I expected. Flavor was ok. But it came as a mixed drink not blended. It would be nice if they clarified in the description what kind of Daiquiri it is.

I've reviewed a lot of breweries, and Fremont Brewing did not disappoint!…read more This cool spot has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. A truly legit outdoor space! They are kid and dog-friendly, too. We ordered an NA IPA (which they have on tap!) and their hop water (comes in a can). Both beverages were absolutely delicious. I love that this place is NA-friendly. They offer some light snacks and free pretzels, which is awesome for a brewery without a kitchen. There is a food truck on site, but it was closed when we visited. No worries, though, you can bring outside food, which is perfect since there are plenty of great restaurants in the area. I asked the bartender if they brew at this location, and he said they've moved all brewing to a different location in Seattle, but it's still super fresh and tasty beer all around. This is a spot worth visiting in Seattle or getting together with a large group for a few drinks. Plenty of choices for everyone!

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.

There are two sides for service at the bar. Everyone goes to the first one but there are two. Televisions for sports viewing too. You can bring outside food in but I brought a Sammie from a an earlier Yelp event. Of course! The hazy dawn patrol is a must have for hazy lovers. Mild flavor and easy drinking. But dang it if the shandy style pineapple disco lemonade didn't just hit the spot!! A lighter more summery style beer. Definitely worth a visit if you're in this part of town. Cheers! SYOY.

We decided to go on a Sunday to have a beer and watch the Seahawks game. (They've got several TVs playing the game, with sound on.) Upon walking in I loved the vibe. Lots of great seating options whether you have a few people, or a group. They have a great selection of good beers. (No crap on tap here!) Some of my faves represented; Ravenna, Cloudburst, Great Notion! If the tap list doesn't have something that strikes your fancy, there are lots of cans available in the coolers! (They do charge an additional $2 for anything selected from the coolers). They also offer slushies (alcoholic, and NON alcoholic). After a few pints we decided to close out. I took a look at the can selection. Happy to see that they had just gotten a new drop of Structures beers!! Couldn't pass that up!! Grabbed (3) 4pks of Fuzz & Frost!

I've only been here two times and they were both for Happy Hour…read more The Happy Hour prices for drinks are pretty darn good. My go-to HH cocktail here is the Vieux Carré, but I like herbal sweet & bitter, so it's right up my alley. Currently there are five HH cocktail options and they are $7... hard to find in Seattle! I've also had the rainier & rye for $9- the rye is great, forgot to ask what kind it is. I've had a few other HH drinks, which were alright, but these stand out the most. As for food, I've only tried the spicy Seattle dog, and I would get it again. The hot dog is cut up & shaped weird (see photo), but it tastes wonderful. I heard the fried chicken is great so I'll try that next time. Also, I was excited to see that they had buckeyes on the menu, but they didn't have any when we visited. Inside is spacious and woodsy, & outside there is an enjoyable patio. Servers are nice and seem happy to be there, which always elevates my experience anywhere. I definitely recommend coming to Triangle Spirits for Happy Hour (available daily 3-5pm, dine-in only).

I thought the Seattle area didn't really have amazing Southern BBQ until I tried the food here at…read moreOutsider! You know it's good when you pull up the establishment and they have not only a long line, but also a paper dictating what is sold out, which they update on a 10-15 minute interval. Waiting in line is the most time consuming part of this experience, as we probably waited 20-30 minutes to get to the front to place our order - which is good sign! You can definitely formulate what meats and sides you want as you get closer to the front. Parking for the restaurant is a bit difficult, I think the only options we found while visiting was streetside, and we were fortunate to find a spot only a block away. I could totally see it being impossible to find parking when it gets really busy in the area. Once you get your food, there is plenty of seating, from high tops, to booths, to tables, to outdoor seating with a fire pit. We got a good variety of items, which I'll review a couple down below: Brisket: A good brisket with a nice visible smoke ring. Similar to the pork belly, you can tell the skill of a barbecue restaurant from how their brisket is, and this brisket is delicious! Really meaty and pleasant smoke flavor. I think we did get a leaner cut of brisket as there wasn't as much fat to help with the leanness. Beef Cheek: A delicious cut of meat that melts in the mouth, and has a pleasant smokey flavor. Out of the three cuts of meat, this one was unfortunately salted the heaviest. The first couple of bites are delicious and really delicious, but it goes really overwhelming the more you eat it. If you order this, definitely get some sides to help. Pomegrante Pork Belly: A solid BBQ pork belly that has a pleasing fatty crust with a meaty interior. This is what I would consider a good baseline for a reputable barbecue restaurant. It is advertised as pomegrante pork belly, but I unfortunately wasn't able to taste any flavor of pomengrate - maybe a tiny bit in the glaze/bark but that could just be attributed to the sugar. Mac and Cheese: A pretty comforting side! bechamel sauce is really creamy and fully coats each noodle. The noodles were at the sweet spot of soft and having enough integrity to hold their shape. Cherry and Rhubarb Cobbler: Wow, this is an amazing dessert! I haven't had a cobbler where they added cardamom to the crust before, and I think it works spectacularly. The cardamom gives a nice floral taste to the crust, which is complemented by the tart and fruity filling. I think this is one of the better if not best desserts I've had a barbecue shop, and the small tweaks made were creative and delicious! In the end, I think we paid about $100 for everything you see here. Having been to a couple of BBQ places, I would say that it is pretty standard pricing. Good BBQ does take a lot of effort and it does come at a premium. Outsider BBQ is absolutely delicious - if you are looking to get some comforting food, they definitely have you covered. I would totally revisit to try their items that got sold out (missed the beef cheeks, need to try those!) the time we visited!

There's both indoor and outdoor seating, and it's communal. We got the Pitmasters that serves around 4-5 people, there was 3 of us and we ate the rest the following day. I loved the ribs and the pulled pork sandwiched between a piece of bread and a pickle was delicious.

This is a nice place, but it's worth noting that seating is quite limited. We happened to be able to squeeze in at the bar on a busy Friday afternoon. Tried all three of their pilsners, two sours, and an IPA. Two of the three pilsners were pretty good (Czech and Hetty Alice)--their American style pils (Adams) was a miss. The IPA (?) and their sours (Sparkle Dragon and Beach Party) were just ok. Overall, good, but nothing really jumped out to me as being exceptional or especially creative.
