they have some great fairly uncommon beers on tap...forget any comfort tho...beer is way to expensive & i was unwilling to try to eat there...you can get a growler if you bring your own.

Pinball machines were cool. Cosy little place near Uber. Food is brought in from Beth’s restaurant. Got kind of a wierd vibe in the place and went to Red Door and Brouwers after one beer.

Small place located near my favorite non-craft brew local: Kangaroo & Kiwi. Tremendous selection and great bar staff just waiting to supply good recommendations. Space is tight, but it’s rarely so crowded that that’s a problem. This is a great place to stop late at night if you’re in the mood for something different - or some pinball or pool.

The ambiance is pure formica funk! The food is actually from next door, but it’s good, and they walk it over to you. The location is great right off Greenlake. But the best part of this place is the beer! the selections are awesome! they manage to get beers that no one else in Washington has. A great place to be a misanthropic beer geek!

Great little place at a populated beer stretch of 99.

Just down from Uber. Had a crazy night at Uber and ended up at Duck Island; don’t ask how I got there. Let’s just say it all started with the "toss of a disk". Anyways, the bar are is fairly cramped. They have pool tables, and a lot of taps hanging from the ceiling. The "manager", who was some hot woman I wanted to ask out, came outside saw my friends and I drinking and nearly had a heart attack. The point is we had her as our server inside as well, and she had an attitiude, but I love a woman with a temper. She still gave great service. Met the owner he was very nice. The bar area was a bit cramped, but the selection, again, was pretty good. The bottle selection was also great. Not the typical bar from what I have experienced since being in Seattle, but still a decent place, if you don’t want to go to Uber.

Been driving and even walking by this place for years now pretty silly that I haven’t stopped in before this weekend. Thanks to BVC for motivating the stop. Great divey little spot with a couple dozen good taps. No bottles, but they have some well-chosen liquors up on the shelves. Friendly service the manager, Jeremiah, was hanging out even when he wasn’t on, which speaks well for how little the place gets on the staff’s nerves, which in turn makes for a nice place for the crowd. Has a funky layout with narrow passages and steps up and down good little drunk traps. Couple of pinball machines and such. You could easily spend some time here, and the tap list evidently always has something on that’s hard to get elsewhere, along with several things that are just plain good to drink. I’ll definitely be back.

You thought the Uber Tavern was a little seedy? This place fills up with bikers, leather-goths and crazy ex-football players around last call on a Saturday. But when I was there they had Double Dead Guy and Abyss on tap, and the barkeep sold me a bottle of Full Sail Top Sail right over the counter, brown paper bag style.

Great little pub located in a hole in the wall area. Beer Mecca is pretty much all around this area. If your hungry skip the 10 dollar stuff they have from the microwave and eat next store at Beth’s Café this place Rocks. The beers at Duck Island are some of the best. They have Belgian’s, lights, darks, ales and lagers you want it they have it. I bet they have served what ever you have had they have a tap collection that rivals anyone’s. This is a must stop if ever in Seattle. This place it tight the seating is about 30-40 total so it can and will be crowded on the big nights. The service knows the crowd they get the beer to you in no time flat.

One of the funkiest beer oases in Seattle. Superb divey ambiance with artful beer-centric decor. Good tap selection. A good one to combine with Uber, which is one block away. The greasy spoon next door will deliver food to you and their menu is in Duck Island. That food is nasty but filled with enough grease and salt to prevent a hangover.
