This place feels more like a restaurant, but the bar is really spacious. The only drawback is they have Coors on tap for the unenlightened troglodytes who visit before the games.

Elysian is one of my favorite breweries in Seattle, and the Fields bar did not disappoint. A nice atmosphere that is appropriate for the die-hard beer drinker, but also not a bad place to take friends as a start for a night out. Elysian brews a broad range of beers and had a very good selection. Particularly of note were the cask-conditioned IPA and the ESB-style beer on a nitro tap. I can’t say enough good things about the bartender who served us. My buddy and I got samplers, which only included a fraction of the total selection. The bartender kept giving us pours of beer for free. Needless to say, we left very happy. The food isn’t really remarkable as with most brewpubs you go there for the beer and food is a sideshow. If you’re in the area (or in Capitol Hill or Tangletown), a stop at Elysian Fields is a must. Do yourself a favor and hit the Fields for pregame festivities, rather than the extremely lame Pyramid Alehouse.

Close to Safeco, with a nice selection of brewery beers on tap. The interior is industrial chic, and very well done. The food I had was delicious, and the beers hit the spot.

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.

Large open seating area, big windows, and Elysians great brews make for a relaxing spot to down a few. Nice decor, and quiet most of the times I’ve been there the exception being a visit on a Seahawks home game last December. One of my favorite downtown area hangouts.

A very large hall-like interior, almost like stepping into a church. A large bar with lots of seats and several booths and tables. Several (>10) house brews on tap with a couple of guest beers.

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

Busy hopping spot during Mariner and Seahawks games. This place is lively. Servers seem a little overworked, but they do an excellent professional job. Knowledgeable, friendly and hardworking. The beer selection is stellar. Beers brewed at three locations all kick serious butt. Last time I was at the fields, I enjoyed four different beers of their about 20 on tap (including two different wits). Great ambiance of a fishbowl in a side lounge. I can see people getting frustrated when there’s a lack of seating, but I would rather be here than down the street drinking Pyramid’s mediocre offerings. Love me some Elysian!

Huge restaurant area with a significant four-sided bar at its center. Darkly lit, pleasant place to chill and have a beer. Eight regular offerings on tap, along with numerous pumpkin remnants from the recent festival: Dark O the Moon, Great Pumpkin, Night Owl, etc. Solid offerings of the things we tried, attentive and knowledgeable waitstaff, and just immensely big for a serious brewpub. Standardly priced pints along with plenty of free samples of anything they’ve got on tap.

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.
