Next stop on my quest to visit every brewery/pub in Washington State was Elysian Fields. I was on a small tasting trip over at Pyramid Brewing which is about 2 blocks away so why not stop when I have the chance. The tasting is a whole other story. Elysian Fields is a brewpub that Elysian set up right after they opened there brewery and it all took off. Right next to the two stadiums I bet this place is full on game days. Rocking to the top on those days when the teams win. The beers are all from the main brewery located off of Pike St. Not too far to travel for the fresh beer. I tried a Imperial Stout the Super Nova and this was a very tasty brew with a strong dark malt backing and a very sweet and strong flavor with a dry finish. This will kick you in the head if you drink it too fast. The food was pretty good spendy is word for this food. 10 bucks for a sandwich damn that is just way too much for a simple sandwich. Glad the beer was pretty good. The service once again was not too good. They just have the attitude of really you want something. Maybe I will get it but in my time not yours. This is just par for the course as I go on my quest for the greatest beer in the world I will have to put up with poor service. Now I can say I have been to all the Elysian brewpubs. Now only to go back for the Great Pumpkin Beer Festival.

Visited on Feb 11, 2008 with after4ever. The entire design of this place is very open, with very unique art and decoration throughout. At the core, its an old warehouse, so you have a nice blend of old and new in the location. Had a large number of Elysian offerings as well as a few local guests. The bar area is large and spacious, help was excellent the night we were in though it was VERY dead on a Monday night in February. On a previous visit, I had a pasta dish and really enjoyed it. Great place to grab a bite if you are down near the stadiums in Seattle.

Went there on a Saturday afternoon with my wife (no Mariners game that day). It was quite dead, but we did get a seat near the open window with a good view of the stadium. Decor is contemporary meets industrial. They even spent time on the restrooms, which have cool clear glass sinks. The steamed mussels were good, and with a generous amount mussels. I ate a Portobella Mushroom panini, which was not bad, but was a little heavy on the bread. Fries are awesome. All but one of the beers were above average. Service was also good. Worth a stop

I made the mistake of going here about an hour before a Mariners game. There were no seats at the bar, and the staff was overwhelmed. I promptly left, and re-visted after the baseball game (I left in the 8th inning), and there were literally 5 people here. They have about 15 beers on tap with their regulars, and a few special beers. One of those was full of diacetyl, and clearly not ready to be put on tap. I ordered the cured meat platter, which was pretty darn tasty. All in all, a decent place, and probably worth visiting - just not before a Mariners/Seahawks/Sounders game.

Checked this place out before a Mariners game. Not too crowded until the political rally next door let out--so this is a handy place to have in Pioneer Square. Their beer is always worth a visit. Food’s plenty good. Really nice job renovating the place. Couple of pretty hot servers, too. They do many things well enough.

One of my favourite beers on my 3 day trip to Seattle was the Perseus Porter. Good to see half pint (or thereabouts!) glasses but booo to no wi-fi. Still the beers are excellent.

Big warehouse space. Meant to hold the ball game and business lunch rushes. Service was fine when we stopped here, but it was damn slow, Unfortunate timing on our part as at least half the lines we down getting ready for the pumpkin beer line up. I had the esb and ipa. Food was good, usual pub grub salads, sandwhiches, burgers. Prices were fine for the metro area, tad high in the scheme of things. Wouldn’t go here during game time, but fine place to go if your hanging out in the area.

Visited while roadtripping through Oregon and Washington. Located near the stadiums. Beers were generally pretty good and there was a ton of different beers available. However, I was slightly annoyed at the fact that our server didn’t want to serve us smaller sized samplers.

Was here on a game day, hence it was packed, but the service was still quite good. Great selection of their own beers, with 2 guest taps. Didn’t eat

Stopped by at the end of our walking tour of Seattle. Very cool looking inside and out. It was very open and airy inside. Decent selection of Elysian beers and the waiter was attentive. It seemed kinda like we ther only ones there on a Wednesday afternoon.
