"Flatstick Pub, a mini-golf bar, is practically designed for after-work functions—the mini golf costs $8 to play, the space is massive, and there are 32 different beers on tap. While the pub snacks here like mozzarella sticks and onion rings are just fine, you’ll want to spend your company’s budget on their tasty brick oven pizza instead. Just make sure you don’t accidentally clock your colleague in the face with a putter." - Aimee Rizzo
"Swinging golf clubs around while drinking is usually not encouraged—but that’s exactly the activity at Flatstick Pub, a dog-friendly mini-golf bar perfect for a big group (you can even rent out private course space). If you’re not into mini golf, Flatstick also has duffle ball, a tabletop version of golf where you use your hands and get even more frustrated." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
"Flatstick has four Washington locations, all centered on local beer, mini golf, and other games like Duffleboard and Ball Jockey. It’s perfect for groups or birthday parties. There’s a Flatstick in Pioneer Square as well as South Lake Union; the latter features the art of local muralist Ryan “Henry” Ward. Each location has weekly events like trivia and bingo nights." - Mark Van Streefkerk
"If you’re looking for something low-effort, Flatstick’s South Lake Union mini golf/bar location has plenty of room to chill with a beer or snack (the mushroom and goat cheese pizza is a good bet) before playing a few holes; there are also giant Jenga and other games available in the main dining area, and no reservations or tickets are required." - Gabe Guarente
"At the just-opened Flatstick Pub in South Lake Union—the company’s third and largest location—I found a whimsical, chef-collaboration-driven take on the mini-golf-and-beer model with murals by omnipresent Seattle artist Henry and pizza from Ethan Stowell Restaurants; Ethan Stowell developed a menu of brick-oven pizza, entrees, salads, and bar snacks to pair with the bar’s 36 beer and cider taps. The holes are enlivened by giant statues inspired by the characters of local muralist Ryan Henry Ward (d.b.a. Henry), and the new location includes Flatstick’s proprietary “Duffleboard” (a combination of shuffleboard and mini-golf). Housed in an 11,000-square-foot former auto showroom now part of the Allen Institute, many of the building’s original elements—including the exterior facade—remain. Flatstick emphasizes craft beer from independent Washington breweries only (no corporate beer) and a focus on fun, drinking beer, and playing games; given South Lake Union’s difficulty attracting an after-work crowd, this strong combination of games, food, and art raises the question of whether Flatstick Pub will crack the code." - Megan Hill
