“Great neighborhood location to eat on Queen Anne.“

“Great food and great staff. Always delicious beers and cocktails. Great plant based options.“

“We've ordered pizza from here 3 or 4 times so far, and it's spot on every time! Probably some of the most flavorful pizza we've had in Seattle, with fresh quality toppings and baked perfectly. Will absolutely be ordering from here again.“

“The cocktails I had were amazing. Staff was awesome and very generous.“

“Very cool bar near Greenwood with delicious drinks. The bartenders are absolutely amazing and keep the vibes up in the already neat atmosphere. They went above and beyond to make each drink special. Comfy seats, clean bathroom, and various snack options. It is a small venue so better for groups of 4 or less.“

“Such a fun place to grab a craft cocktail and some pho. The drinks were very unique and the pho was surprisingly very good. We also tried the Tofu Dip and the spring rolls. The dip was delicious but very rich and the spring rolls were very fresh. We definitely ordered too much food but it was delicious and a fun experience.“

“This is a hidden gem! I randomly walked in and after I watched Jane work in the kitchen I was extremely disappointed that I had already eaten. The food looked and smelled phenomenal. I had envy for sure watching others enjoy their food. Jane was so nice and welcoming. I had a great time chatting with her and her staff, including Chase. I can’t wait to visit Seattle again and try her food! It’s on the top of my list! Thank you Jane and team.“

“Delicious cocktails and eats, friendly neighborhood place. cozy, when you can go inside!“

“You must visit at least once! Cool decor, creative drinks, great food. Reservations recommended.“

“Super fun hangout spot. Great shows downstairs.“

“Had a great time at this bar, the interior was really awesome, a spooky, eerie vibe! Loved it and definitely recommend stopping in for a drink!“

“Best crunchy spicy chicken I had, I love that they have only drumsticks, and the order is huge. The cucumber poke was so refreshing and the pickled radish that comes with the order is so fresh and crunchy. The chicken sandwich was on the smaller side for me so I will definitely stick to the drumsticks. Miduem spicy is just right and I like spicy.“

“Amazing food and staff was great!“

“Excellent cocktail. Good vibe.“

“Nataly is such a great gal! We were made to feel that they were happy to see us. We had a really fun night!“

“Wonderful place where meat eaters and vegans can delight in a delicious meal. Great wine section and craft cocktails. Quaint wine shop to bring something home or scoop a gift for a friend on the way to the party. Be sure to try the butter pickles!“

“This location is truly exceptional! The staff is outstanding, with Daniel standing out in particular. He went above and beyond to ensure my group had a fantastic experience. I highly recommend both the ambiance and the service, especially Daniel and his remarkable hospitality!“

“I’ve always loved honey hole and will be the first to say the two owners between the first and current were awful. The new-ish owners are slaying though. Quality right back up there to call it the best comfort food on the hill. Get mama lils on the gooch and be ready to sigh in pleasure.“

“Great food great service great atmosphere 👌“

“This place is a gem!! Great food and service! After attending a concert, my friends and I were hungry. They let us in even though they were closing soon. Told us not to rush and just enjoy. The grilled cheese was perfect! Definitely coming back here again!“

“Overall this was a great bar. Great cocktails, service, and atmosphere. What was shocking to me and hesitate to come back are the $25 cocktails. They do have amazing cocktails but wowza with tax and tip and spending $30 per drink, my belly is happy but my wallet is not. Don’t regret coming though!“

“I don't know how else to say it, but this place is solid.
The beers are cold and tasty, the food is amazing, and the staff... They are the main reason I keep coming back.
I'm not sure who does the hiring there, but keep it up.“

“The fresh grapefruit vodka — a real thirst quencher“

“A cafe for beer lovers! Quiet place for conversation. Amazing selection of beer.“

“Alice makes a wicked Paloma!! Go find out yourself!“

“No food service, but there is a street taco place around the block that I often visit before enjoying a few drinks here. Several varieties of imported Belgian beers are the specialty as the name suggests. Small groups, few booths, quaint and quiet. Not much has changed since I first dropped in 20 years ago. I should visit more often.“

“Side Hustle: Taproom & Experimental Kitchen in Kirkland is a great place to kick back and enjoy locally sourced beers, wines and food. Friendly servers and great atmosphere. Check it out!“

“Stopped in with a friend to play some pinball on Wednesday 8/23/23. Pinball map was pretty accurate regarding pins on location, and the games we played were in good condition, spaced out well, and most had cupholders or tables close by. There were the requisite 40"-50" TVs playing sports set up around the bar, but they were not the center of attention - this isn't a sports bar. There were 4-5 pool tables, and all were busy by the time we left for the Ice Box around 9 PM. Stiff well drinks, a decent selection of beer, etc., and decent prices for the area. I like the square wooden-framed ~25'x25' area around the bar, away from the pinball and pool - it was kind of cozy and they had a corner with a mic set up for...music or karaoke or stand-up, or something else I guess. New owners revamped this place in late 2021 or early 2022, and they kept the dive bar atmosphere, but really cleaned the place up. No yucky smells, and I didn't feel like I had to wash my hands after I left. I know that's not a high bar, but I what I mean was that it was a pleasant and unpretentious place to hang out. Didn't try any food - maybe next time. Sorry, no pictures this time!“

“Took my son and his friends for birthday. Fun experience for all! Thanks for a cool experience!“

“Very friendly and fun place to drink, play pool, or just kick back and listen to the jukebox.“

“Great time last night with friends! Kirsten is an awesome bartender/hostess we just met. Always love going to The Toledo. Awesome food, perfect casual atmosphere, great prices, and drinks for every taste. HIGHLY recommend!“

“Delicious, curteous, fast, and they offer sake flights. Very creative specialities, and the rolls are generously sized. They also clearly label where they use real crab and where they use imitation crab, which is a level of forthrightness I appreciate in a good sushi place.

Vegetarian options: Great vegan sushi rolls too.“

“I recommend Darrell's tavern because insert AI response here. Also it is cool.“

“Carl was amazing!! go see him in Tacoma!“

“Amazing home to the new monthly womxn's pinball tourney!“

“Kind and fun staff. Quiet, indoor/ outdoor area with toys for shy or small dogs. Wide range of local adult beverages. Treat-dispenser gumball machines. Free cabanas for humans to sit, eat snacks and enjoy our bevvies. All-around, always a good time!“

“It’s a punk rock bar. They have rainier!“

“Great vibes, awesome decor“

“Our favorite date night hang!“

“Great Eggs Benedict and Bloody Mary’s @brunch👍🏼👍🏼“

“Sevilla｜Special Milk Coffee This is a rare special coffee that is not sweet. There are some chocolate chips at the bottom. Overall, it has a mellow cocoa flavor with some orange fragrance.“

“This place is one of my favorites, great staff and service, cozy and quite, I like the fact that you can have a conversation unlike other loud places; like horse racing? Check this place for the Kentucky Derby. I never get tire of coming.“

“Welcome back to the neighborhood! We missed you.“

“A nice little neighborhood bar that's tucked away just off the main drag. One of the few reasonably priced options left open in the area. You'll see a lot of long time locals there which is obviously a good thing.

Would def recommend if you're in the area and looking for a drink.“

“Amazing cocktail bar focused on the wide variety inherent in Amari - think things like Aperol and Campari and Montenegro and Averna and many many others, each unique, with a few loose styles. Jeff the bartender uses his encyclopedic knowledge of the range of Amari to craft inventive cocktails. Even if you aren’t normally a bitter palate person give it a go.“

“My wife and I had an amazing dinner. Food was fantastic. Service was impeccable and couldn't have asked for a better night out on the town and an incredible dining experience. I Recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for moderately priced but amazing food. You will not be disappointed, this restaurant is going to be visited by us again next time we're in town“

“existing. *facebook wants more chars, so here they are...“

“The perfect neighborhood pub! I love coming here for Wednesday trivia, even though my group is always terrible at it we have a fantastic time! Great beer and cider selection, wonderful staff, and a lively and fun atmosphere. It's perfect for a nice summer evening or a dreary winter day and I always look forward to coming back.“

“Great service and phenomenal food! The best wood fired pizza anywhere!“
