This place is very Brouwer’s-esk. They have a fantastic taplist, and get some really cool kegs on occasion. It gets busy at times, so service is usually good but sometimes a bit slow. Haven’t had the food yet, and prices are pretty standard. Very well done and a great addition to Capitol Hill.

Visited late on a Thursday evening in Nov’12. I beleive the place had only opened earlier in the year and it is located in a former funeral home! The place was fairly busy and the only seats we could find were on stools at the bar. They have big electronic screens displaying the beer range above the bar. Good selection, 30+ taps, largely WA and OR but a few from other parts of the country also. Randaliser was in use and during our visit was infusing Sierra Nevada’s Hefeweizen with orange and hops! Good that the regular beer was also available so that you could do a comparison. Service was good and the bartend gave us a few samples and was happy to make suggestions. I’ll be heading back here on my next trip to Seattle.

Such a shame about the food here. The beers were all amazing and so was the selection. It’s a beautiful building too. That pizza though, great crust, incredible saltiness. Far too heavy on that.

Climb the big hills from downtown up to the grungy-funky Capitol Hill area and find this place of Pine in the side of a huge old building. Lovely architecture inside with a lot of character. Bar area is 15 seats long with 20 taps of a nice range of local and across the country. Pliny on tap when I was there and few other top notch choices ... which looks to be how it typically is. Then you sit down and feel as though you are in a very local establishment with everyone knowing each other. Friendly, a lot of personality, nice tap choices. Really good place.

Great new spot in Seattle, gorgeous space and healthy bar to sit at. Terrific beer, some of the best beer folks in Seattle around. Must see if you’re in town, and a good place to become a local if you’re from around here. I haven’t tried food but looks like a nice menu

I went here twice, and had great experiences both times. Perhaps one of my favorite places I’ve been to. It’s easily walkable from downtown. Ambiance is awesome...it’s an old church or former funeral home. They have about 25 beers on tap, and there are several interesting and local brews combined with national brews. Bartenders appreciate good beer, and they definitely can be snarky and hostile, like to the asshat who asked if they had Fat Tire. I had the cheese and charcuterie platter, which was delicious. I really enjoyed this place, and have no clue why it’s not rated higher. They don’t really have a bottle list.

Great new addition to the Capitol Hill beer bar scene with an impressive tap list that’s heavy on the IPAs. Bonus points for the Randall.

I loved this place. Great beer list. Didn’t try the food.

Oh wow this is a rockin place. Super look great tap list and the food was killer. Another great tap bar in Seattle. Old mortuary turned tap house.

What an absolutely jaw-dropping space. Nothing really quite like it in town. They don’t have the whole building, which would be even more spectacular (there are attorneys’ offices on the rest of the floor). But what they do have is gorgeous--gigantic arched mirrors, corinthian columns, beautiful old woodwork, booths made out of old chapel pews. And a cool upstairs loft full of more tables and seating. Not to mention the history of the place. This was for many years the nicest funeral chapel in town. Bruce Lee’s memorial service was here (James Coburn and Steve McQueen were pallbearers). It’s not without its drawbacks. Look where it is. You can’t really park. This won’t keep them from being slammed, of course. Plenty of people live nearby, and will make the effort to find a parking spot. In that sense, a Cap Hill location is both a plus and a minus for any business (depending, as a customer, on where you’re starting your trip in). The staff is also both a plus and a minus. The front of house staff are virtually all formerly from Brouwer’s, which means you get industry veterans with plenty of beer-bar knowledge...and a whole rainbow of moods and attitudes. The beer list is fantastic. There are 32 taps listed on huge flatscreens over the bar. There’s a big bourbon list and a bunch of cocktails and liquors happening, but for me this place is all about the beer. There are lots of the usual suspects from the PNW, and many interesting kegs from all over the west (plus a few from Europe and back east). The prices are usually in the $5 range for most of the beers served in pints, which is actually pretty nice. Bottom line, this place isn’t quite a bar-nothing destination for the beer freak or the liquor freak, but it’s worth the occasional trip out of the way, without a doubt. They’ll be a huge success just based on the neighborhood, though, and will probably turn many Cap Hill folks into beer lovers, and cultivate a clientele all their own that way. They have the coolest space in town, and they have a bunch of the best kegs and some of the best staff in town. Plus, Steve McQueen was here once.
