Elysian Fields

Elysian Fields knocked it out of the park for our large walk-in group of 45 people! Despite not having a formal reservation, the staff handled our pre-Sounders game gathering with impressive professionalism and flexibility. Special shout out to manager Josh, who went above and beyond to accommodate our group and ensure we had space to mingle together. The real MVP was our server Livia - she was absolutely phenomenal! She masterfully managed our entire group, keeping drinks flowing and food orders organized. Her attentiveness to late arrivals and consistently upbeat attitude made the experience seamless. The level of service we received, especially for an unplanned large group, was exceptional. The food was excellent, and the drinks were delicious. Our entire team raved about the experience. Perfect spot for group gatherings before Sounders games. Will definitely be returning! Tip for others: While they do offer large party reservations (with food minimums), they proved they can handle walk-in groups with grace if you're flexible.

If you're looking for a place to try some amazing beer, this is a place for you! We hosted a small party for our customer here and with 30 people easily fit into a niche with a small Buffet while many people enjoyed the beer others went for the liquor or wine selection all of which is reasonably priced

We both had the new smash burger with bacon. Actually one of the best burgers we’ve ever had! Dill pickle was bomb too! Great fries and the Lemon Daydream Pilsner was OUTSTANDING! Great service (Blake) too!

Stopped by Elysian Fields Taproom on a quiet weekday afternoon while in town for a conference, and it did not disappoint. The beer selection was on point—plenty of variety with some great local options. The bartenders were super helpful and really knew their stuff. I came in hoping to find Dank Dust, and while they were out, they helped me track down a few quaffable replacements that hit the spot. Chill atmosphere, great service, and a solid place to grab a beer if you’re in the area. I didn't eat food - but don't want to give a 0 star review for food, the burgers I saw several people order looked amazing I was tempted.

Tina was our amazing, sweet, and attentive bartender. She makes the best vodka martinis (half pickle/olive juice FTW). Chicken tinga nachos were fire. Definitely coming back, and definitely 10/10 recommend!

Decent food and drink. The atmosphere is top-notch. Perfect spot to wait before a Seattle sporting event.

Pretzel was SO good! We have liked this beer since we lived on the east coast so we were really excited to come here! Sadly the beer wasn’t cold enough. Staff was also putting chairs up and cleaning the place two hours before they closed so we felt we had to leave after a drink.

Tina was our server! So sweet and knowledgeable! Made us the best shot with screwball! Awesome atmosphere!

I really enjoyed the beers here. Did two flights and all were good. Service was friendly. Recommended!

I went with several folks after work. I'm pretty tempted to give a 2 for a couple of reasons. First, the person who brought several of us from work to this place had made some great dining choices over the last couple of days, so I know he has good taste. After dinner, though, he apologized to everyone for taking us here. Secondly, the website is horrible. I know that has nothing to do with the food or restaurant, but I wanted to make sure I wrote the correct full name of the food I got, and the site is so bad, I gave up. The reason I gave 3 stars was that the service was very good, and I liked my meal. The veggie burger was good. The fries were OK, but they had a ton of garlic. Yes, I did order garlic fries, but I only ate a few, and the garlic taste was in a bit too much.

Decided to stop in on a Sunday around noon to watch a baseball game on one of their many TVs. First off, I love how spacious this place is. There's ample seating so even if it gets crowded you'll still be able to find a place to sit and hangout for a bit. The food options here are fantastic. We tried the cheese curds, hummus plate, and garlic fries for our apps. Would genuinely order all of these again. For my main I had a pesto chicken sandwich with a side Caesar. It we light and so very tasty. Also the brews on tap are cold, crisp, and honestly a bit strong so be careful! Looking forwards to stopping in here again one day soon.

Best beer around! Thank you Budweiser! I know the scoop! The service was average when we were there. Love the location!

We decided to hit up Elysian Fields before catching a Mariners-Red Sox game at nearby T-Mobile Park. We got there about two hours before the game began, where we were able to beat the rest of the crowd. We got off the train at the International/Chinatown station, which was about a 10 or so minute walk to get here. As we approached the entrance, we saw a sign on the door of the 1st Avenue entrance that said, "Please Use Occidental Avenue Entrance", though this door itself was cracked open. We were initially confused, but we used the 1st Avenue entrance anyway. It wasn't that busy so nobody really noticed that we entered through the wrong door. We found the Occidental Avenue entrance in the back, where security was guarding the door, checking IDs, and stamping peoples' hands. Elysian had many beers on tap to choose from! We ended up skipping the food here so we only had beer. I ordered the Hydra Hefeweizen and my dad ordered the Odd Berry Citrus Sour. The Hefeweizen is one of my faves to drink and it had that excellent light flavor to it. My dad said that he enjoyed his sour. This is a great place to go to before or after the game. It's also conveniently located across the street from Lumen Field!

If I could give a fat zero stars I would. Update from credit card dispute. It was denied. Elysian produced receipt with no signature saying it was a walk out and they added 20% gratuity. $99 2 drinks and parnesan fries. Really ? It wasn't a walk out because I paid at the bar with the credit card. Did not order anything else. Wasn't no dine and dash. And they are sure generous with adding the tip for someone handing me some fries. This kind of business pisses me off. Have a feeling it initially started with the clueless bartender, Dustin or Justin. As Joe Pesci would say, I got f***** at the drive thru (bar). Thanks alot Elysian for your excellent customer service.

We were visiting Seattle for the first time and wanted to watch a Warriors game. We found this place by accident but so glad we did. Courtney and the rest of the staff were welcoming and friendly. The drinks and food were great. Great ambience and plenty of TVs.

Seriously good option for pre-game food, we've been here before many years ago and weren't too impressed. I'm glad we came back, ever since Pyramid closed, we were looking for a good replacement and this is it. They got friendly, quick service, good beer and drink choices, burgers are also delicious and juicy... what else do you need before a game? Prices are also fair for pre-game food, this will be our go to now.

Great place. Was only here for a couple of beers but the location is a good size, close to the stadiums and probably a great place to catch a game. I'll be back to try the food.

MANY TASTY BREWSKIS AND DELICIOUS FOOD IN FUN SPORTS BAR BREWERY ATMOSPHERE. So many beers to choose from. No flights but you can ask the bartender for a taster or two. Elysian of course, sadly, sold out to Anheuser-Busch a few years ago, that said, you wouldn't know it by the small microbrew atmosphere and friendly wait staff. This place is right by Lumen Field. So, it's great place to go before or after a game. Or even just to watch a game on one of the many TVs in the place. The wait staff is friendly, and I enjoyed my time there. Nuff said. Cheers!

The food was amazing! I've never had fish and chips that tasted so fresh and tasty! We also had the mozzarella sticks and I wanted to order a few orders to go!! The staff are amazing and they are so attentive and quick to refill drinks etc. this place is a must stop if in Seattle! And the ambiance is amazing! Thank you chef Paul!

Denise R is probably a nice and qualified server when things are a bit slower, but she left a lot to be desired on a busy Sunday morning before a Seahawks game. The service was erratic, inconsistent and forgetful. Food was forgotten, drinks were ordered, never brought and then somehow comped off the bill before we even asked for it. I've been here a number of times on game days and this was easily my worst experience. So disappointing for us, who don't make it up to Seattle but a few times a year.

Stopped by before the game. Ordered a drink that is always my go to and had one 5 min previously before stopping by. Bartender made the drink but it was super weird as if it was a flavored whiskey. Went to tell her about it but she refused to admit fault and told me I was wrong. She sent our food order to the wrong table and I just made a comment to the server. Didn't get his name but a black dude that was super cool. I told him it wasn't that big of a deal, just trying to enjoy the night. Some other bartender that had a really bad combover came over in a threatening posture asked if the order was wrong. I stated no but my drink was wrong but it wasn't a big deal. He was visibly shaking and trying to be intimidating. I told him the drink issue wasn't that big of a deal that we would just go somewhere else. He insisted against my will that he was making another drink and was extremely rude when he delivered it to the table. Didn't touch the drink. The cheese curds were good. The waiter was extremely nice. The bartenders need a little training in hospitality.

Lol what a joke. Came before a Seahawks game for a drink and maybe some food. Waited 20 minutes to get in the door. Waited another 25 to get a beer. When I asked for a beer after the line the blonde bartender was awkwardly weird. I then asked for a water and she was blown away I wanted a water with my beer. Had someone get up from a table and told us we could have their seat. The server came up to us and literally scolded us for sitting down. Will never ever come back here ever again even. Ridiculous experience

I have visited the Capital Hill location and taproom in Georgetown with amazing service however this location is has rude bartenders and overpriced drinks. I can understand game days get crazy but that is the time to put your customer service hat on and rise above. My friends and I stopped in before the sounders game. The staff at the door was pleasant, checked IDs, gave us stamps and pointed us towards the bar area. We found an open spot and waited for a bartender to finish with the group next to us. In the meantime another person behind the bar came over to us. My friend asked if she was a bartender, she said yes so he started to order. She yelled at us saying that he needed to drop the attitude and someone else would help him. Now that we are embarrassed and everyone around us staring. We both looked at each other confused. I don't know where that came from. What attitude? We were in a great mood, ready to root for the sounders and then this awful bartender just killed the great vibe. Another bartender did eventually take our order (3 drinks for $40) save your money and experience for anywhere else....

Happened to drop in to Elysian Fields during a time where they were less than busy. I thought this place was pretty neat and my bartender was very friendly and even provided me with some samples. I think that this place would be AWESOME before/during/after a Seahawks game on Sunday. It is so close to the stadium and has the perfect aesthetic for game day.

I would give 0 stars if possible. Horribly rude staff especially the host on our power trip. Save your money and go elsewhere

Awesome beers and the service matched. Everyone in our group enjoyed their dinner and I'll certainly be back soon.

Come for the beers, and not for the food. We came here before a Mariners game to have some brews and some food. It's Elysian so you know their beers will be good!! My issues were with the food. We ordered a bunch of wings and other apps. They gave us the wrong flavor of wings originally, then came over with more to replace them, but they were also the wrong flavor. Eventually we got the right ones. Overall the wings were rubbery and tiny. A lot of them broken as well. I'm a chicken wing snob I will admit, but the buffalo sauce tastes like it came from a 5+ year old bottle. Not good. The kegs were also frequently tapped and certain beers were out of commission. You'd think they would step up their game on game days but alas they did not. I would return in the future, but only for drinks, the atmosphere, and the proximity to the stadiums!

Out of all of the Elysian spots this one has had some of my favorite memories ! It's super rad, great location . Huge space to watch or pregame the games. It does get insanely busy during regular game days. The staff is stellar but they likely could afford to hire a few more . Love the beer. Love the good food. Love the location !

Came straight after a Mariners game before the crowd got there. Sat at the end of the bar for 25 minutes. No service. Watched bartender check on people who were coming in and take orders. Had to have seen me. Still no service. Eventually left. Wtf y'all I know you had to have seen me after 25 minutes???

Not quite what the deal is on this place. Advertising to be open till 6 this Sunday Mariners game but completely closed at 4. Nothing on web site or doors. Second time this has happened

I love the atmosphere of Elysian Fields, especially on a Sunday afternoon! This restaurant and bar has almost a warehouse feeling to it- the floor and walls are dark concrete. The bar area includes a bleacher-like row of seating so people can grab a beer and watch the game like fans at a live game! The beer and food are reasonably priced as well. We had the nachos and chicken wings. The nachos were amazing, but there was a second sauce drizzled over the top that was thick and very spicy- I think the nachos would have been better without it. The wings were flavorful though and I would 100% order those again! What I didn't love was the service. We started with great service at the beginning of the football game, but it kept going downhill from there. There were 3 people working at the bar, but one server was constantly on his phone and the other two were chatting and leaving the bar area off and on. By the end of the game, I went and stood in front of the guy on his phone at the bar, and he put his phone away, and literally walked away from me! I totally understand when it's busy during a game and hard to get to everyone, but the restaurant and bar were not very crowded at all and the staff just didn't seem interested in helping us... Either way, I would go back to Elysian Fields. I really did enjoy the food and beer, but I'm hoping next time the service is better!

You can't beat the selection and quality at Elysian Fields. The staff's great and it's clear that they like working there, which makes for a nice vibe especially before games. One area that can do better is the limited happy hour food menu, which could use a burger and/or fish and chips option.

Don't come here for food, this is their $14.50 taco plate . But if you just want a beer, the service is ok (in terms of friendliness) but fast! I guess the location mainly serves fans going to events in the area, but c'mon that's almost $5 a taco and it's crappier than street tacos

The beer was great (especially the dayglow IPA, avatar IPA which is infused with jasmine, and he flu fighters if you like sour) the soft pretzel with beer cheese sauce was amazing!!! I would give 5/5 stars for food and beer and 2/5 for service. our bartender was not friendly at all and he seemed genuinely annoyed by us though we are pretty chill people :/

Visiting from out of state for the Broncos game. Stopped here for some lunch. Food was fantastic! Atmosphere was super chill. Sat right near the patio with Taylor as our server! While the food and drinks are definitely top notch, Ms. Taylor made the experience all that much better! She was super sweet, extra attentive, and handled the Monday Night Football crowd like a boss!! Great job, Taylor! Elysian is lucky to have you!

I checked this place out before seeing the Wu Tang Clan on Friday and was really excited to try some special beers. The bar was pretty busy but huge and handled the crowd with efficiency. They have quite a few beers on draft and a full bar of liquor as well. The bathrooms were clean, but both male and female were out of TP. The beer was really good, but overpriced for a 12oz beer at over $6 each. The hostess was very friendly, but the bartender was not. He did not say hello or anything, he just pointed and raised his eyebrows. This place has a pretty ample amount of seating and would be great for a group of friends looking for drinks and dinner any night of the week.

Great place to go to for Apps or to grab a ice cold beer and watch some football. One great part about this brewery themed restaurant it has plenty of space for all of the co Workers to join in after a long hard day of work. Walking distance to many large office spaces. I highly suggest the Brussels, the meatballs and the pretzel! Everything was supposed delicious! Work hosted a gathering at Elysian and we had this AMAZING salmon dip. You must visit Elysian!

Today we took part in the NFL Draft Pick event. It was such a blast. We hung out at Elysian from 8:30-3:00pm. Service was excellent and the food and drinks were priced well also. Their burgers with all the toppings, add egg and bacon was so yummy and their fries were so good we ordered more!! The variety, flavor, and atmosphere were amazing. I would love to do this every year and drove up from Vancouver, WA to attend!

Worst dine in experience I've ever had. Staff was incredibly rude and unnecessarily aggressive. Location/space is cool, food and cocktails were mediocre. Needless to say I won't coming back and my experience was so bad I've been telling my friends and family not to support them.

Let me start by saying this used to be a fun and entertaining place to go before the games. No longer the case, under new management, they no longer cater to the local crowd and don't understand there is a lot of competition in the area. Going here for a Seahawk game was the worst decision we had made in a very long time. If you are considering eating before a Seahawk or Sounders game, please check out some of the better managed places such as. Quality Athletics, The Lodge, King Street Bar and Grill, 13 Coins!! All of which will give you better food and service than this place. We are very generous patrons, and usually tip 20-30%. On this occasion the Manager said you all need to leave and brought us boxes to put or food in. Apparently we had too many people around 4 top, and the empty tables around us were no indication that the restaurant was about to be emptied for the game. This place under the current management does not appreciate the locals. I still love my Space Dust, but I can no longer patronize this establishment, nor would I recommend it to any other sports fans. Please do your self a favor and go down the street south to Tacos and Tequila, they would love your patronage.. and the food is delicious. Great service, smiling waitstaff, and drinks are on point. I have added a photo of the manager just for reference.

Probably the rudest staff I've encountered in the past decade. Food is so-so and portions are small for the price.

When we went Friday night at 7 it was pretty empty so it was easy to talk with our group. Our waiters were very attentive and friendly. All our food was delicious and the beers were great! The only unexpected con was the prices. Maybe I'm a frugal, on a budget person, but I did not expect each main dish to be starting at $15. I ordered the bbq pulled pork with fries which tasted good! However, I don't think it was worth $15. Especially at sports bar. But this could be normal, and like I said I be on a budget haha. But anyway, if I had known the prices before I think I wouldn't have been as caught off guard. Either way, we had a positive experience mostly thanks to our lively & funny waiter!

I've heard this place gets packed on game days, but it was very quiet when we went in to the point where we almost thought it was closed. Regardless, service was slow. No one greeted us, we seated ourselves, and eventually got an order in. There was some confusion with people at our table of 5 all receiving different versions of the menu, some of which were outdated, so it was hard to tell what was available. Our server had to come back and ask some of us to make other selections. I had an amazing Six Prong Cabernet Sauvignon. I know it was a Washington State wine and I wish I'd looked more closely to see what year it was, because I absolutely loved it. But the food was only mediocre. I ordered their daily quiche special, imaging that I would receive something piping hot with a tender, flaky crust and velvety filling. The crust was hard and dry, and the filling was dense and almost grainy. I thought the side-salad it came with was a little better, although the greens were sort of wilted. I liked the nuts and grated cheese it was topped with, but it's sad that that was the most impressive thing about the meal.

Bad leadership. Arrived 10 minutes before opening and waiting in line with 50 or so other Mariners fans before a Sunday afternoon game. At 11 an employee shares that they will not be able to open on time but it should be 11:15. There were 15 employees inside standing around, ready to serve guests. Employee came back out at 11:20 and said they would open at 11:30. This Sunday was also the season opener of football. Elysian was doing a game day menu of 4 items. No reason to not open on time or at least serve drinks only. Elysian must do better, they lost tons of business and will continue to under this poor leadership.

We stopped here for dinner & drinks around 3pm last Friday (before the Pearl Jam concert) and really enjoyed ourselves. The bar fills up FAST and they don't take reservations for the main restaurants area until ALL people in your party are present. It's a bar and there was a long line after 5pm due to them checking IDs. This was our first time but others in our party said the limited menu was because of the event. That way they could just have this stuff ready to cook and get out to the customer FAST. Cold beers, Burgers, fries, pretzels (tastiest ever!!!) and wings were all delicious! Our server worked really hard and the atmosphere was a lot of fun. Quite loud but that's to be expected. The open air concept is also really nice, especially on a hot and humid day.

My husband and I had the most amazing time at Elysian Fields in Seattle. As a matter of fact, I'm drinking Elysian's Space Dust right now, that's how much I love Elysian's beer. We enjoyed this tasty brew on draft and also enjoyed some truly tasty food. Their truffle fries: Amazing. The atmosphere/vibe: chilled out and relaxed. A great experience!

This brewery is located right next to the Century Link field, which is great to grab a drink before a game but not so grate for the same reason. They don't do flights on game days, that said, the bartender was really nice and offer to give us tastes of any beer we were interested in. The food was the disappointing part, I had the Korean street tacos: the tortillas were really cold, the meat was warm, the kimchi was good but mostly there was green cabbage topping the taco. Also the description on the menu mentions rice and beans but there were none ‍

Sometimes a 3-star place gets the nod when convenience makes it worth the risk. Elysian is one of those places. I had the Korean Street Tacos. Simply said, they were great. The beef was tender, there was a little spice (could have used a little more) and great toppings. The Jasmine rice was good if a little mushy. The black beans were just that, but good. As I always say with beer, it's about taste... yours. Mine said that the Jasmine IPA was great, the Dragonstooth was average. The Night Owl Pumpkin Ale is like drinking a slice of pumpkin pie, and I mean that in a good way. Finally, I read some of the other reviews (the negative ones mostly). I'm raising the average here because I didn't come in as a crowd, I didn't expect vegan, it wasn't super busy, and I accepted the fact that the menu is a little more, let's say, diverse than a cheap pub. I didn't mind dropping $17 for the Korean Tacos.

This place is a fun spot pre-sounders games or happy hour. Other times it can be kind of empty, but that makes it easy to find a table! It is really big with a ton of tables, bar area, and a few outdoor tables. There a lot of tvs which makes it easy to watch a game. Service is generally good, and i have been impressed with how good the service is when dealing with a large group when super crowded. I don't think this place is open at the moment which makes me sad. I work in international district and this was our go-to spot. I hope it opens again soon!

they dont take standing up IDs :( so if you dont have a horizontal id, they wont serve you. kind of weird to deny service to paying customers over a silly rule like that. management must be a nightmare. staff was nice tho

Great beer, delicious food, and lots of TVs in an open, industrial space - everything you would want when you want to watch the games. Lots of seating and great service. I can see why our Seattle friends recommended this spot before the Mariners' game.

We flew into town to see a game and stopped here for a beer only to be kicked out and our full beers taken from us without refund for my 24 yo brother for his legal, legitimate government issued ID being vertical. Bad policy which wasn't enforced at the cap hill location the day before. Not that they care but won't be back or purchasing their beers going forward.

It was a very Seattle afternoon when I found refuge in Elysian Fields. Visiting Seattle from New Jersey a buddy and I felt it was a must to attend some sort of local sporting event. The sky was grey, wind was cool, and you could almost taste the rain that had not yet fallen. We got into a Sounders game at half time for $10 each and actually got seats in the Hawks Nest. Immediately following the game with a chill in our bones we needed beer. When I saw the Eysian sign I knew sweet nectar would be just on the other side of those doors. Being some of the first people out of the stadium we got prime seats at the bar as well as the bartenders attention before the crowds flocked in. I don't remember what I had to drink, but I ran the board on any Porters and Stouts that were available at the time. I may not remember the beer names, but I do remember delicious. All of the beers were very tasty. We spent the next several hours here chatting with some locals and drinking quality brew. Elysian has plenty of TV's all around in a dark and roomy industrial setting. No food was consumed. I look forward to the day I can visit again.

Stopped in, on way to Yankees game. Wow, this place sucks. Two terrible margaritas ("Diablo^), the only diablo aspect is that it tastes like hell. Horrendous Sesame wings, had no taste at all, I was hungry and I barely finished 3 of 5! Chop salad was equally unimpressive. Not much to choose from around Safeco, but this is not a good option!

Excellent food and beer with great fast service to get you into the game with time to spare! I've been here a few times now and have been surprised by some of the reviews. I've always been happy with my food and find it hard to complain about reasonably priced food and drink so close to the stadium/field. The most recent time I was there I had the mushroom ravioli - yum! See the photo for the evidence! My friends had burgers and the pasta bolognese and said they were equally pleased. This restaurant/bar really knows how to get people in and out of there in a timely manner and with a smile on their faces. This is definitely my first choice for food the next time I'm down here for a game. I had the amber ale last time but have many more on the list I'd like to try!

This restaurant is not made for vegetarians or vegans. Avoid it if you're looking for food. I ordered the falafel wrap with fries. The falefel was honestly one of the worst I've ever had. It was huge, flavorless, and wasn't even cooked right. The inside was still uncooked/raw, and contained no significant source of spices. It was just bland mush with a flavorless fried outside. On top of that, the tomatoes tasted like cleaning solution, and they seemed to only put a couple crumbles of feta. The fries were the most disappointing. If you do not eat fish, do not order the fries. They tasted like fish, and obviously were cooked in the same oil as their fried fish. Very disappointing. The server was cool, but the atmosphere was very awkward (arguing among servers). It's 2019, and you're in Seattle. Step up your game, unless you only want to rely on game-day crowds who are too buzzed to care about your sub-par food.

First time here. Great location next to the Seattle sports stadiums and Pioneer Square. Started with the Salute the Sun Pale Ale. Slightly hoppy but really good. Next, had a 3 Legged Mutt Pale Ale. Not as hoppy, a little milder but higher alcohol. Finished with a Scrum Irish Dry Stout. Absolutely delicious. I will come back here just for this. I also had a large bowl of clams in garlic butter broth. Delicious. Can't wait to come back to Seattle and visit this place again.

First off, I LOVE Elysian Brewing. Their beer is wonderful and they have tons of variety. A recent trip to Seattle took me to this place and will certainly be a regular every time I'm in town. Upon entering you are greeted by a wide open restaurant and a large bar in the middle. As Happy Hour had just begun I decided to opt for some brews and bites. I first started off with the Superfuzz Blood Orange beer. Light hint of orange and a refreshing spring/summer type beer. I also ordered the Yam/Feta Quesadilla ($2) and BBQ Pork sliders( $3). It wasn't before long my food arrived and it smelled delicious. The HH prices can't be beat. The menu is small but a nice array of choices. I wish my quesadilla had been bigger. 3 quite small triangles of goodness....but certainly not your "normal sized" ones. The sliders were an excellent deal. The pork was tender and juicy topped with some tangy slaw. Definitely a winner. The fave of the evening was certainly my jasmine IPA. Although I have had before, I forgot just how amazing it was. It's like smelling and tasting wonderful Jasmine pearl tea in beer form. So, so good. Since I was there for a few hours. 3 beers and a couple small plates only came to around $20. Awesome. Highly recommend coming here.
