Elliott Bay Brewery and Pub

August 17, 2008
My favorite place in W. Seattle. I had their stout and a sunnydale pale ale and I was pretty impressed with both. Good selection of seasonals, including a few belgians. Good service and ambiance, not your typical catering-to-yuppies Seattle brew pub. Food was awesome, definitely worth visiting. Pints are 4.50, which is a bit steep, as was the food, but worth it.

Cool place with a laid back mellow vibe. not terribly busy when we arrived on a Saturday afternoon. Beers were very good, no complaints. Did not have a chance to try the food on this trip. Parking was kind of a pain in the ass, had to walk a little bit, but other than that everything was roses.

Visited in March of 2008, Monday evening. There was a nice crowd in here of locals. I took the last spot at the bar and almost immediately was included in conversation. Nice vibe. The brewpub overall has a nice bar area, bar tables and a larger dining room. All nicely done, with a space for everyone. I only had time for one Pint and a taster, no time for food on this trip. They had a very large number of beers on, so should be something for everyone. Though not outstanding, the beer was certainly good enough to make this place worth a visit. The one word I would to describe this place is comfortable.

The beers where very good the place was jammed with people. The look was just as I see almost all the others look like brick walls, posters and local art work hung on the wall. The service was so so they like the locals that’s for sure. Tons of extra beers on tap with great names was a little hard to find what I would really want. The servers where to busy to help with the decision. They do have good beers the place was very clean and kids can come with the folks. The WiFi was not working but they it works off and on. Parking was a huge issue very limited. I will go back one day to check it out and get some more great beers. The Stout and IPA was to die for.

A true watering hole. A great little place with very appropriate and comforting decor - mildly nautical. I tell ya, they know what they’re doing as far as beer goes though it isn’t world-class, it sure is worth a trip and worth a drink.

A hole-in-the-wall of California Ave. businesses with a big tall sign. Offering mostly their own brews, they offer a kitchen way above standard pub fare. Evenings or happy hour get busy and loud, service suffers somewhat then. More of a plywood and panelling feel, but hundreds on the Mug Club waiting list attest to their appeal. They recently grew into a Burien pub I have not been to as of this rate. Their Ahi tacos ROCK (if messier than the sandwich), several friends loved their pulled pork sandwich (never seen one finished) and salads. While parking might seem a drag, a municipal lot is across the street, access is next to the crosswalk, just outside their door.

Service is not too knowledgeable about the beer. Too much an emphasis on sports. I had the mussels, which were really good. It is worth checking out. They has some good beer.

Great ales. Parking is an issue. Good fries. Handy facilities. Worth the trip West.

Ahh, yes. I had me the anniversary beer in celebration of signing my lease two blocks away. The place has the W. Seattle laid back vibe to it. Good people and good food. I had the ahi tuna sandwich, which was great. I’m excited to be living next to this place as I see my self becoming a regular.
