My milestone 600th review goes out to Flatstick Pub in Seattle's Pioneer Square!
Now this, THIS was a great place to spend our Monday afternoon to kill time before a baseball game later in the day. My dad found this place while randomly searching for lunch around the downtown area, and he suggested this spot. Note that this place is strictly 21+ only.
When you enter Flatstick, you are directed to a staircase that leads downstairs, which is technically a basement area. The bartender did have to ID me because he said I looked younger than my actual age (which I'm used to people telling me at this point). After reviewing the lengthy beer menu that they had, the bartender gave me a sample of the Channel Marker (#24) and the Washington Gold (#25). The Channel Marker, which is an off-dry raspberry cider, was so good that I decided to buy it! My dad got a sampler of the Paradise Creek Huckleberry Pucker (#7), which he got because he liked this one. Their menu also shows you how much beer that they have left before it's all gone (green means full, yellow means half, and red means almost gone).
After getting our beer, we headed down to play mini golf. I'm not the greatest player in mini golf, but I ended up playing fairly well and beating my dad in it by two points. Having a beer while playing mini golf made the whole experience way more fun. We then headed back up to have their food before moving on to play duffleboard. My dad and I both ordered their chicken tacos, which were tender, fresh, and full of flavor. Their actual kitchen wasn't open yet so they were only serving small appetizer dishes.
Playing duffleboard was also fun! One was shaped like Lumen Field (home of the Seattle Seahawks) and another one was shaped like T-Mobile Park (home of the Seattle Mariners). The last duffleboard that you play is kind of like playing skeeball, except you use a stick and not your hand.
We had an excellent time here and I really want to come back on my next trip to Seattle!
