I’m still pissed about how bad the food was that I need to post this. Who doesn’t put sauce on their wings? I was served dry, unseasoned, and plain chicken wings with a tiny plastic cup of sauce to dip them in. When I asked what the deal is they just said that’s how we do it here. Well you were doing it wrong. Awful food and the beer didn’t make up for it cause that’s bland too

This place is fine. Alternatively completely dead or busy, even on the weekends. The staff sometimes are the nicest, other times they can't wait to get out of there.I enjoy it but it's not my first choice.

They have great burgers and beer as well as a nice atmosphere! They also have one of the best happy hours in Ballard with $5 pints and $8 burgers that come with fries or a side salad. You can't beat that!

It's a shame given the location is so great and the overall atmosphere of the place is laid back (love to see a darts board!) but I didn't have a great experience with the staff which is just the quickest way to ruin an eat-out experience.

Love this place! This was our 4th or 5th time here and I'm always impressed by the great service. This was my first time coming for happy hour and the happy hour deals can't be beat. I got the fried chicken sandwich with a side Caesar (included) - it was delicious, so much food (the salad was much bigger than a "side" salad portion and the chicken was a good size), and so reasonably priced. The interior of the taproom is so nice and clean! Overall, extremely cozy and chill ambiance

Best place for a drink in Ballard. We came in on a busy trivia night and found a little spot at the bar. The bar manager Leah had a lot of orders to deal with but she still gave us the time and attention to make sure that a quick drink in this lovely town was really memorable. Couldn’t speak more highly of her as a person and the bar as a destination!

Such a great space in an inviting part of Ballard. As someone who's pretty self operating, I love the self seating and order from phone option. The menu is your classic brewery buns, burgers, and wraps, but it's all done quite well. We ordered the cessation salad wrap and the chicken fried sandwich. The breaking in the chicken was incredible, the sandwich was sauced up and super tasty. The wrap was light on dressing but still good, however if the breading from the fried chicken was in the wrap, instead of the grilled chicken - oh it would be a textural dream. I'd certainly be interested in coming through again though!

Great setting, decent beer. I wish there was more variety on tap. Mostly all IPAs and stout this time of year. Ordered wings which were good, quite large and cooked well. Sauce was pretty thin though. The Hot Mama sauce wasn't hot however? Happy hour $5 beers and $8 wings not too shabby!

We went there to watch soccer game. The best thing I ate was cobblers. Chicken wings were under cooked, the bbq sauce was not good. Fries was good. Poutine needed more gravy or cheese or something. You ordered off the QR codes or you can ordered at the bar and they will bring you food. The service was

I wanted to like this place so much, the vibe inside is cool. I love that there are board games everywhere and the programming on the numerous TVs was excellent. They had college football on, Courage the Cowardly dog, and classic Price is Right on. However this is where the good ends. The signage is confusing because it stated to seat yourself where you like and someone would be with you shortly. So we sat and waited.... look back at the opposite side of that sign up front which says... order via QR codes at the table, fine. That was confusing but the ordering process was easy. They were out of the wedge salad that I wanted so got a buffalo chicken wrap and side caesar. The chicken in the wrap was the saddest chicken I've seen in my life. It was all very mediocre. My partners burger was wet looking and not as good as other options in town. The real kicker is that for that sad chicken wrap that came with a side, and one single burger that came with fries, one beer, and once cocktail was 60 dollars after tip. Literally for what? The drinks came pretty immediately that was a plus. The other super frustrating part is there was no concern to bus tables. We sat next to a dirty table for half an hour and no one cleared our table after we were done but wanted to finish our game. So had to sit there with the stench of the caesar salad under my nose. I even tried to wave an employee down to bus the table. I wish I could take my tip back. I wish I could go in a time machine back before I spent 60 dollars here. But I won the board game so that was a plus! ;) don't recommend and won't be back. Cheers.

Stopped by for an afternoon beer. Wings were half price and $5 tap beers. Great bargain! Lots of TVs to watch sporting events. Definitely stop by!

Pretty questionable service - walked in with friends for the first time and we sat there for fifteen minutes without even being acknowledged. We flagged an employee down and they told us we need to order from our phones, but then a server came to our table and took our order. Strange sarcastic service...Decent wings and fun atmosphere, but really really strange service.

Ate outside with our dog on a beautiful evening. The fish and chips was good and the wings were good too. You get a lot of fish with the meal, which was nice.
