I don't remember the last time I had something that tasted soo good! I ordered the stuffed salmon, and it had all my favorite ingredients! The spicy coconut cream added that extra something that pulled the whole dish together! The salmon was cooked perfectly without being dry. The crab "stuffing" was even done well and not dry.
I can't believe in the many times I've been to the Pikes Market, I've never been here! I will definitely be back!

Great place to sit and relax with a nice cold beer. They have a variety of selections. Clean location, they have board games you can play while you drink, or watch sports on TV.

Nice pub… order yourself option worked well. Pizza was really good! Cocktail was fabulous very fresh tasty! Bourbon, cranberry with some added goodness.

Chill spot with a great location and more options on tap than I expected. Seating setups were a bit odd, but there was plenty of seating available at least. Would come back next time I'm walking around Pike Place.

Very cool atmosphere and great location less than a block from Pike Place Market. It has a very unique layout, with the entrance at street level, where the Fish Bar is located. The Brew Pub is one floor below. The decor is really cool, lots of interesting beer history lining the walls. One places an order by scanning a QR code and ordering online. Then a server brings your order to the table. The service was quick and courteous. The food is solid, beers are great. I went especially to have some Ol' Crimson Lager and support my beloved Cougs. The place is laid back and has something for everyone, including a full bar. We will be back for sure.

Off the beaten path, but great space. In between the sound and Pike’s Place, vibe is on point.
Feels like a quintessential PNW brewery experience with plenty of space to sit. Took in their light lager and it was crushable, very light, and at 4.5%, pretty good bang for the caloric buck.

Such a great place with a lot of history! A lot of ghost tours start here and it's so fun to learn the history of Seattle and the building specifically! They have a section dedicated to Nellie, a previous historic owner. It's so interesting!
The drinks are great and so are the pretzels!

Every trip to Seattle (9 times), we have gone to the Pike. This was a disappointing trip. The food has always been good in the past but this time we were disappointed. The burgers were just not appetizing, and the nachos were very dry and plain. The crab cake was also bland and not to par. Our server was friendly and attentive. Hopefully this was just an off day.

This was a fun find near the market area. Tried a few local beers but I did wish they had a larger to-go selection.

The vibe is pretty rad. The service is set yo for high volume. Host will seat you, but you place your own order using their online platform. Food / drinks will be delivered to you, but there is no server. I would have preferred an actual server. The food was good, the craft cocktail menu was fun.

Headed for a day at the market and made a quick stop for a bite to eat! Fish and chips were great! Beer was crispy and delicious as well! Service was quick and staff were extremely friendly! Definitely would come back next time I’m in Seattle!

Stopped in after picking up a sandwich from Homegrown. They let me sit and drink a few beers. Great staff, super friendly. And the open windows are great for people watching while relaxing and eating.

We've come here a few times when visiting Seattle. Came here during New Year's Eve and Charlie was awesome, sad to hear she's moved on elsewhere but Gabe was just as great on Sunday! Nice chats and recommendations. Enjoyed sitting downstairs, but the place could use some love and more food options.. the pretzel was good but not enough.

Went for their advertised brunch. Their menu selection was very basic and limited. There were three people and two tables but the wait time was a long time even though I ordered a yogurt parfait and eggs. Not worth it in my opinion, and I love brunch

I was seated at the tables just outside their downstairs door. Two guys were vaping and smoking cigarettes with their beers and feet on the table. They wouldn’t stop and so we moved inside but the smoke just blew into the downstairs. I asked the bartender to ask them to stop smoking and the bartender just offered to close the door. We finished our beers and left. Terrible first impression.

Great tasting beer with a large variety to choose from. They have Porters, IPAs, Ales, Sours and more on the menu… they even have some beers that you can’t try anywhere else. Service was really good too. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and will to go again soon!

I had a farewell party here for my group of 20. Kate and Diane were super helpful when setting up my reservation. The space was great for mingling and the food and drink was good too. Elysian makes some of our favorite beers. Diane tended to our group so well, and we appreciate her and the rest of the staff being so helpful and kind to us- we were still wrapping up a little bit past when they closed at 9pm but they accommodated us and didn’t rush us. I’d definitely recommend this place for small or large groups.
Sweet potato fries for really nice and crispy!

Food and drinks were delicious! We were going to a concert down the street and stopped in for some appetizers, our favorite was definitely the warm goat cheese w pesto.

Decided to go to Capital Hill Elysian since it was closer. They had outside seating in addition to the inside space. It was not very busy at that time. Sat at the and had two flagship beers with the pickle plate. I would suggest the pickle plate if u have 3 or more ppl so large. We had 2 cocktails after beer, and I would recommend Jammy mule. The food was good.

Came here for a quick beer for my birthday and was greeted by Blake at the bar. He gave us great suggestions on what beers to try and was a lovely bartender. Can't wait to come back next time I'm in Seattle!

Poor excuse for customer service... The fact that I'm forced to use a card and have no choice to pay cash "because the owner doesn't want to deal with it" was what was told to us... Pretzel was sub par by far..... Much better establishments in area to spend your money. Lazy business ethics will not get my money.





A bit disappointed overall with the prize and the service. First off, the dungeon burger with Cajun totes was really good. But the one-pound chicken wings look sad for the $24 price. We also had to wait for about half an hour for food on a Saturday afternoon. I was so hungry that I started eating ketchup on the table. My experience at other mcmenamins were better, maybe it’s the capital hill vibe.


A fun, open air environment, with lots of great options. Friendly staff, and a location close to subway stops, shopping, and the market.




The beer selection is good. The pretzel a standout!

We walked in to get a quick drink after a long day of touring around town. The beer ranged from 4% to 11.4%, a great spread. I tried the grapefruit seltzer, which is on the light end (very light that I barely tasted anything), and family tried the flight with a few IPAs.
Drinks are expensive in Seattle. One beer plus a flight came to be around $35. Would be around maybe $20-22 in Los Angeles. But it’s Seattle haha.

My most favorite spot for burgers in Seattle great food, excellent service and attentive staff and their microbrew selection is delightful



So all I had was a thing of tater tots and a coke. In total, I spent around $10.50, I think. The place was really good and had a really good vibe. Perfect for a date night, in my opinion. 😌

Typical high Seattle prices and serving up mediocre food. Whatever you do, don’t get the pretzel. Far and away the worst cheese I’ve ever been served with a soft pretzel. The staff were the best part about the place. Very nice and fast service.



The food was a nice temperature. Thats really all I can say about this place. The menu item I ordered boasted a half pound of chicken tenders, which consisted of three average sized tenders. For the price of the meal the portions were abysmal. The tuna melt was something I could make at home. And the waitress was just okay. Nothing really stood out. Better to spend your money at the Starbucks Reserve across the street or one of the other authentic cuisines in the area.

Love atmosphere and great selection of beers. If you are not sure which beer you will like, simply ask staff. This place doesn't offer food (they only sell pretzels), so I recommend you should eat some food before heading to this place.



While it has a "cool vintage" look to it I couldn't get over the musty/ mildew smell in the joint, it just feels dirty and we frequent all sorts of bars and dives, but this was just off. While our server was nice, the service itself was slow and just not attentive, especially for a Saturday and they were not busy. The Whiskey flight however was pretty good, no complaints there. But in a rainy town I'd probably rip up the flooring and give the place a good clean.

This was such a fun little spot to grab a drink or a bite to eat. We ate at the bar and enjoyed an affordable flight of beers. They had such a large selection of beers on rotation and then of course their standard most famous beers on draft. All the food that came out of the kitchen looked absolutely delicious and people seem to really enjoy it. It is a fun atmosphere with good music and TVs and also a full service bar with both non-alcoholic and alcoholic cocktails. Would definitely be fun to go with a group of people or just to enjoy a few drinks before going to dinner or even eating in the restaurant. We would return.






Avoid this place if you are looking to satiate immediate hunger.
This was my first meal of the day and second time eating here.
Previous visit I had sliders and Cajun tots with a ruby beer.
I can tell there is someone different in the kitchen because the portion of tots I had with my burger along with the amount of seasoning was significantly less than the first time. That said,
I ordered the dungeon burger instead of sliders this time and despite the server asking me how I wanted it (medium), I got a well done burger. I finished half because I was hungry and needed to eat.
Additional to that there was a split hair in my sauce.
I disregarded it because as a gay man my mouth has known hair if you catch my drift.
I won't be back in the future though despite loving the ambiance due to the fact that I can see that turnover is high for management here and it shows in their attention to service and cleanliness. They didn't start clearing tables until they noticed me reviewing.
Definitely NOT worth the price!
PS-- I made mention to the server that my sauce had hair in it and that my burger was well done. He "remedied" it by mentioning in the most haughty/curt tone that my beer was on the house. I told him it was okay because I didn’t feel like contesting anything and just wanted to get home. I left the money and exited.
I do hope they get better thought because this is a pretty dope place in terms on of the ambiance.

Pretty empty brewbar, cold atmosphere. Bartender looked bored as he was sitting in the corner on his phone.
Good selection of beers from Seattle, but a little pricy.

I was happy to visit such a popular brewery while in Seattle! I was hoping for a cooler taproom, but it was still worth it! It's a dark atmosphere with a solid beer and food menu. We weren't ecstatic about the food, but it wasn't bad. I recommend the elote caesar salad and the chicken sandwich. The service was nice, but they did not check in on our table a lot. Either way, I'm glad we made the stop for some good beer!




I ended up having 2 Bourbon Furnaces's, which typically would give me a great relaxing strong buzz, but I also ate a beer battered Cod sandwich (which had a great homemade tartar sauce and different veggies on it) and one of the pretzels with a cheese ale fondue. They were all delicious!
And the cook, Patrick, had actually brought out the whole meal, which pleasantly surprised me as cooks don't typically do that, and his service in just doing that was badass! My waiter, Corey, did a phenominal job, as well!

Starbucks reserve had a line out the door so we came here. The food was amazing. The steak sandwich was so good and hand cut fries with organic ketchup from Oregon made it even better. We got the tacos which were incredible. Come here now.



We've been to every McMenamins; this one is special. Our server (Lee, according to the receipt) was very attentive and friendly. The atmosphere is very unique, which is saying something for a McMenamins, with lots of cool pipework and creepy crows all around. My wife and I got different burgers but we both agreed that these two were among the best we've had at any McMenamins.













We came to Six Arms from Olympia, WA. We have the passport and wanted to check out the McMenamins up north. The food was delicious, I got the gryo and my husband got the backyard with tots. The tots were nice and cruncy, too! I also got the cider flight, and they were all great! The atmosphere was super chill and relaxing. I loved all the chandeliers.

Dude I got to say a big thank you to Kristina the beer tender. She was the only reason I would even come here and now that she quit this joke of a bar. I won’t be going back to this dump again. The owner runs the place by text message and surveillance video from the state of Texas, how detached can you really be? That and you don’t serve any food but burnt pretzels.




Actual rating a 4.5 because it took a long time to get sat even though there wasn’t many guests in the pub & no line. HOWEVER, food was worth it. We got a mystic 18 (best veggie burger I’ve had in Seattle) and a caption neon (10/10). Beer flight was fun & was super cheap. I recommend the cajun tots over the fries!




The lunch at six arms was amazing. We had the bacon cheeseburger, Jr’s Jumbo Deluxe burger and the trippy cider. The staff was very pleasant. If you’re in the area, we highly recommend!





Seafood boil was great. Love the chili sauce. The crab was so flavorful. The jalapeno cheese sauce that came was amazing. I'm not a huge oyster fan, but these were good and had great flavor. Must have a vax card to dine in, but they did have multiple patio tables as well.
