17 Best Gastropubs in Seattle

“The food here is fantastic.“

“This place is great. Love the drinks great vibes just one question…. In the bathroom of bar Miriam about a year or two ago you guys had these homemade candles burning in the bathroom and they smelled absolutely divine I’ve been searching for something like that ever since and have yet to find it! I took a picture of them and they were in a Rodica wine bottle that had been made into a candle… I know it’s a long shot but please I must track down that candle. If you could put me in contact with whoever makes them I’d pay good money to get my hands on some!“

“Great and friendly bartenders.“

“This has been somewhere I've been looking to try for a while, especially the Loco Moco Scotch Egg, which is what I ordered
The dish is an fascinating combination of a couple different things - Loco Moco, which is a hamburger patty with egg and white rice, and a Scotch Egg, which
is a boiled egg wrapped in ground beef, that's then deep fried.

This leans more onto the Scotch Egg part of things, as it's a fried & breaded ground beef ball with a soft-boiled egg in the middle, but the Loco Moco part of it is that it comes over rice and with gravy, and also mac salad

For me, the concept of this dish ended up being more interesting than the actual result
There were certainly some highlights. The egg was perfectly soft-boiled with a slightly runny yolk inside, the ground beef tasted quite good, and the mac salad was especially excellent - it had a certain spice to it that was delightful
The gravy was fine, but nothing special

The main issue was with the breading of the beef. It was really soggy, to the point that it just didn't taste like anything except like a covering that was wet from the gravy. There wasn't the slightest hint of crunch, or anything more than a damp blanket over the beef. Since the breading comprised a large portion of the volume of the meal, since there wasn't much to like about it, this lowered the overall experience
Also, the rice was on the drier side. This got better after mixing with gravy, but it was not great at the start

We also got the fried cauliflower as an appetizer - and this was decent - the upper parts were a bit lacking in sauce, but the light breading worked wel here

The price was on the expensive side, as it was $40 per person. The portions are decent, but not overwhelming. I think there are cheaper spots all along Chinatown that work better if you're looking for value

Overall, it's an interesting concept, but there are some issues here that prevent it from being a spot I really enjoyed. 7/10“

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

“Great private room for my birthday celebration“

“Very nice atmosphere at this location which is nestled inside of the 'Starbucks Reserve Roastery' building, solid bakery goods are offered here at semi-reasonable prices, and the place has an upper class environment and decor.

Staff can be very busy sometimes as the place is often very crowded with tourists and commutera alike, as this is a Flagship starbucks location with a little bakery/cafe nestled inside.

Prices are semi-reasonable although not the best for consistent visits. Altogether I would say this is a place to stop to treat yourself, but not an everyday place.

Coffee is available through starbucks at the other side of their shared building.

Vegetarian options: They have vegan and vegetarian options, although not a large number of them.

Parking: The location is difficult to find parking at due to proximity to a large amount of other high traffic businesses on the southwestern side of Capitol Hill, but it's rather accessible via public transit and by foot.

Kid-friendliness: I would refrain from taking small children here, and would try not to take anyone who isn't 16+ as the environment is difficult due to how busy it tends to be.

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accesibility is solidly available at this location. They have wheelchair accessible doors and transit between upper and lower floors.“

“Fun place. Great staff. Love Al.“

“First time visiting. Great food and adult beverage selection. Very chic in an old world way. Highly recommend. Staff is very knowledgeable and friendly“

“We went to Skal on a Thursday night before catching a show - it wasn’t too busy and there was no wait to order food. It is counter service and they bring food to table.

We ordered a hot dog, cod pop corn and fries, and wings. The hot dog was a skinny foot long, it was very good, the fries were amazing! The wings were boring plain wings, wouldn’t get them again.

The restaurant itself is cool looking, very Viking inspired. Next time we’ll get the huge pretzel!“

“The friendly staff made the meal very enjoyable. We had baby back ribs, wagyu beef, cuddly kale, beef tartare and a bottle of soju. The beef tartare was flavored with sesame oil and tasted very Korean influenced. The duck fried rice was also great! Overall lovely and delicious! The only downside is that you need to walk through the hotel lobby and upstairs to get to the restrooms.“

“Delicious authentic food and drinks are good. Great service by everyone !!!“

“They have a nice outdoor patio to enjoy some local beer. The inside is nice as well. The bartenders were personable and patient as I picked out a flight. They have a few of their own beers on tap as well as others from the Washington/Oregon area. We did not order food, but it was available.“

“Omg I just had the predator sandwich and it was amazing. This was the best sandwich I ever had and definitely made with love and friendly customer service . I strongly recommend 2 thumbs up.“

“Stopped in on my way to the Fisherman's Terminal and what a wicked cool place! Very friendly staff and great prices. Definitely good vibes and lovely conversation. The owner James is so personally and you can tell he takes so much pride in his business. ❤️“

“Fun on gameday. Good food and drinks.“

“The staff were amazing. So friendly and attentive. They made the time to chat with us and make us feel at home. They answered all of our menu questions with precision.

The food. I had the steak my wife had the tortellini. I asked for rare to blue and I got what I asked for. The outer crust of the steak was perfectly charred while the inside remained cool and springing the peppercorn sauce added a new depth of flavor and spices to the already perfectly seasoned steak. Every bite melted perfectly in my mouth creating a wonderful eating experience. The fries were a perfect gold hue with a fluffy inside and a crispy outside. No mushyness at all. The tortellini sauce was rich and flavorful with a generous helping of beef and cheese inside every bite I can not say enough good things for this restaurant. To be able to enjoy good simple food was a welcomed treat after dealing with the overly complicated dishes of other places near by. This is dining done right.“
