4 Beveridge Place Pub

4.6 Superb 184 Reviews

6413 California Avenue Southwest, Seattle · 10.36 miles

“This used to be a regular watering hole for me when I lived in West Seattle years ago. I stopped in recently and though the staff is different, the vibes are still the same. Great place to have pints with friends, play some bar games, or play a board game. Great selection of beer, they'll generally have something to suit your tastes. There is no wait staff, you order at the bar. They have a good system to let you order while in line to keep things moving. They only serve snacks, but you can bring your own food from other restaurants, several options within a short walk. The only negative is that post COVID, they've converted their parking lot to outdoor seating so parking may be a challenge depending on the time of day.”

7 The Ruby Brink

4.6 Superb 195 Reviews

17526 Vashon Highway Southwest, Vashon · 7.1 miles

• Take-Out

“We Love Ruby Brink! Burger night—say no more…! The beef dip sandwich on the lunch menu is another favorite. We love eating here for so many reasons though. This isn’t a “high staff turnover” type restaurant where you’ll be greeted by stressed out workers plastered with fake smiles fighting over tables like you might be used you. This is a grown-up establishment with grown-up food and grown-up and experienced, competent and empowered staff and I appreciate how this dynamic expressed itself in terms of guest experience. When I say that the food is grown-up I mean that it is carefully selected and prepared from scratch and this means it does not taste like what other restaurants are doing, which often is buying bags of frozen soup and sauces from the chef supply store to keep costs down and to keep everything tasting exactly the same, every time. You will taste different things here and that might surprise you. Ready yourself for that and enjoy!”

10 Loretta's Northwesterner

4.4 Superb 322 Reviews

8617 14th Avenue South, Seattle · 8.59 miles

“Been reading about this burger for months now, and I finally willed myself to go down there to check it out. I had the double tavern and the chili fries. I’ll start with the fries, crispy and hand cut. The chili and was great and the sour cream and scallions were a nice touch. Huge portions though so they’re great for sharing. Now the burger, I had moderate expectations based off reviews and pictures. I always leave establishments disappointed when I have higher expectations so I came in with an open mind. I decided to dine in because all food tastes better when it’s Hot and fresh, and it was just that. The meat was cooked perfectly, the cheese melted all the way through, and the sauce was nice and light. The onions gave it a nice kick as well. It was very good. Beware, although it is a double, it is kind of small, so you can definitely kill a couple of them before you start feeling full. It’s really good overall, and I’ll definitely put it in my top burgers in Seattle (probably right next to The Red Mill.) These burgers were also a nice change of pace to fast food burgers, more expensive and the fries are extra but really worth it if you want just a nice, juicy, messy burger. I’ll be back to try the rest of the menu items.”

“8-bit Arcade said they were wheelchair accessible and guess what?! THEY WERE. Not only could I get through the aisles, but the bathroom set up was an example in inclusion!! The door was easy to open and lock, the sink was easy to get under, the doorway was absolutely wide enough to get in and out of and there was enough room to maneuver for my wheelchair inside the bathroom!!!! It was amazing. Plus the staff was kind, courteous and even gave us a warning when the loud speakers, near us, were used!! Absolutely recommend!! 🫶”

“We've seen this wine shop on our visits to Tacoma but never really had a reason to stop in since our focus when we're in town is family and other events. However this weekend we were unexpectedly invited to a friend's house so we stopped by to pick up bottle of wine. What we found was a lively neighborhood wine bar and bottle shop. There were about 6+ people in the shop having a glass of wine, visiting and relaxing. The shop had a nice representation of wine from many different regions. We're partial to Italian and Spanish wines and were pleasantly surprised to see a nice selection of Brunellos, Rosso de Montelcino, Borrolo and Whites including Vermentino. The proprietors were knowledgeable and helpful. If we lived closer I could see ourselves dropping in occasionally to relax with a glass of wine or popping in for one of their tasting.”

4.7 Superb 68 Reviews

639 Southwest 152nd Street, Burien · 4.57 miles

“My family and I had a great lunch on our first time here. The owner/bartender was so hospitable and his recommendations were spot on. Each of our party ordered a different sandwich, Brisket, Deluxe Chicken, and Cubano with a different side and they were honestly all so delicious. Best brisket I’ve had in a long time and the Cubano was on point. Can’t wait to come back for happy hour which had a great selection of different sliders. This was such a great find and the bar side expansion just opened 4 months ago. Don’t pass on Santy’s, it is family run, and the work ethic there is as solid as the food. We’ll definitely be back. 🙂”
