Flatstick Pub - South Lake Union

Flatstick is the ideal place for a casual date night, a get-together with friends, or a fun team event. It's way more engaging than just sitting at a standard bar. The main draw is the indoor mini-golf course, which is creative, surprisingly challenging, and a great way to spark some friendly competition. We also tried Duffleboard for the first time – it's sort of like a tabletop combination of shuffleboard and mini-golf, and it was an absolute blast. What really sets this place apart is its dedication to local drinks. The entire tap list is dedicated to Washington-based breweries and cideries, which is amazing. It's a great way to sample the best of the local craft scene. The atmosphere is lively and energetic, especially on a weekend night, but it's all part of the fun. It's clean, well-organized, and the staff does a great job of keeping things moving. Highly recommend for a unique and genuinely fun night out in South Lake Union. We'll definitely be back!

Played the minigolf here, it was fun, joined with the team, we all enjoyed the golf play and the creative setups. Had the 101 non-alcoholic drink which was pretty good. Staff are friendly and response quickly. A good place to hang out in SLU

We played one round of golf and two rounds of darts. The golf was fun and as adults only we were able to move around quite freely. There was a good selection of interactive darts with downloadable videos for each game. They had a lot of local beers on offer.

Great place to hang out, and the pizza was great! They had dudfleboard, darts, mini-golf (9-holes, I believe), giant Jenga, and even a quiet place to sit upstairs if you want a slightly quieter place to hang out.

I liked the food and the drinks but we wanted to play mini golf and unfortunately for us, they had a private event and we couldn't play. I wish they have the possibility to play mini golf regardless of private events or not.

Great bar that has mini golf, darts, and more game options available for renting. All of the beers are local and there is a small menu of food and snacks as well. Great for large groups or parties. Something for everyone!

Held my Golden Birthday Party in the Owl’s Nest. It was the perfect intimate setting away from the crowds! Flatstick is super responsive and incredible to work with! Can’t recommend hosting a party with them more, will definitely be doing it again in the future!

I had to pull off a reception for 40 with a week's notice. From the moment I reach out to the team at Flatstick Pub I knew I had found the right team. They responded promptly to every email and request. The team was super easy to work with on-site and the attendees love the venue. The food and beer were great! From start to finish it was a success! I can't recommend Flatstick Pub highly enough! Thanks to the whole team.

The guy at the bar asked me how my food was. "Michelin star worthy?" I said "I'll give it a 5 star review on yelp." I ain't no liar so here I am. 5 stars. Edit: found out on the way out that his name is Will. Will is rad.

Have been to this Flatstick Pub several times and it's one of my favorite mini golf spots in town. I love all the artwork from henry which you would find all over Seattle as well. They have a really good selection of beers and food. It's a great spot for a date even if it's your first. The servers and bartenders are very friendly and will help you with beer recommendations as well. Definitely recommend them for some beer and mini golf!

Flatstick Pub in SLU is a great place to hang out with friends and have some great food. The place has duffle boards, mini golf and darts. They do also have a pub with and lots of food options. I tried the fries, garlic hummus and veg pizza and they were all decent. Not amazing tasting food but the highlight remains the games. So if you're looking for a fun place with food, then this is a good place to explore!

Service was decent, mini golf was short and quick and fun! Drinks were reasonably priced, they had an open space bar area with lots of tvs and tables areas were clean bright and playing ncaa tournaments. Chicken Wings were crispy and flavorful mango habanero. Cool place to come and chill watch sports and play some games, had a random assortment of card and board games to play with friends

This place is so much fun. Great for families, group gathering or even a date night! We were there early Sunday evening for a family gathering. It was the 10 year anniversary and we played mini golf and duffleboard. We sampled some beers, cider and a little cheese bread. The food, drinks and beer were great! The service was fabulous too. Most of all it's a great place to gather, hang out and make memories. I would definitely go back. I wish we had one at home!!

Came here for a work event. The food was surprisingly good! Lots of beer and cider on tap. Staff were extremely friendly. Mini golf was fun. And the place was surprisingly clean for how busy it was.

This a fun place for a meet up with friends for some mini-golf. The staff is friendly and helped make the sign up process a breeze. The course is a bit cramped, as there should be more room allotted for a 9 hole course, along with some hole upgrades. The live DJ on Saturday night was fun, and played a great rotation of hit music. Younger crowd, but worth the visit. Dont forget they only serve local beer!

If pool and mini-golf had a baby... Overall, a pretty unique concept! Friends brought us here on a Saturday night and we had a nice time. The space has two main areas: Duffleboard ( a combo of pool and mini-golf) and a Mini-Golf room. Duffleboard was cool, but we went through it pretty quickly; it was empty when we went with only one other group in the area. The mini-golf course in the back rooms was packed! We got stuck behind a big group that wasn't playing well, so it formed a bit of a bottle-neck at the beginning; unlike playing mini-golf outside, there was basically no wiggle room in space at all, so as more and more groups came, it got pretty crowded. We ended up not finishing the course and just chilling with some drinks for a bit. Overall, I think it's a fun concept, especially inside the city! Would recommend going at least once, but the novelty kinda wears off quickly.

Flatstick makes it easy to crush it at parenting. 11am on Sunday, few silly holes of golf, pizza and giggles. Epic.

Great for one time date night. We had fun playing around of mini golf and a round of duffel board. Enjoyed two drinks and went on our merry way. I think it's good for a novel one time outing. But I don't see the need to return. The service was lovely and we got in at 4 o'clock, so it wasn't too busy yet. Overall fairly pricey, which is why I probably wouldn't return.

Wasn't planning on stopping here for lunch but did last minute and didn't regret it. Food was yummy and the pizza was great! This location is big and spacious and great for large groups!

My husband and I have been here multiple times and loved every time! It's well managed, fairly priced and the beers on tap are a great selection.

Good and varied beer selection. Fun games. Awful cocktails (they are batched). Also the food was not great - pizza was serviceable but the wings were not crispy and just were kind of gross. Friendly service, but loud corporate atmosphere. This place is more of a Meta / Amazon / Google event space than anything.

First - the staff is so down to earth and helpful! Thank you for always making us feel welcome. We come here occasionally for an afternoon drink, but decided to go here on a Saturday night with a Groupon. We had sooo much fun. The music and DJ played millennial and current hits and we had such a great time playing games and drinking ciders and beers. Will definitely be back for the good vibes and drinks.

Fun spot - love the concept! We did a round of putt putt, small course with 9 holes, $10 per person. Decently crowded on a Saturday night, we had to wait a bit for golf. Large areas for enjoying food and drink. The cider was good, and the food looked marvelous though we didn't get to order any.

Decided to go to Flatstick Pub on a Monday afternoon. We came in with a groupon which included: -unlimited games for 2 -2 beers -2 glasses to go Staff was friendly. We got the Georgetown Hazy Summerside and it was delish! Games for mini golf and duffleboard were fun! You can go multiple times with the wristband...just go back to the counter and ask for a new ball! Lots of seating and TVs. Definitely a great spot to just chill and hang out or catch a game! Only tough part...parking is definitely difficult, especially during peak/rush hour.

We went on a Saturday afternoon and it seemed pretty busy when we first walked in. We brought our baby with us in a stroller because I had read online that it was family friendly until a certain time. Despite it seeming crowded at first, we were able to get beers pretty quickly and there was no wait at all for duffleboard. There was enough room to navigate the stroller too. After we played we sat and finished our drinks and our baby slept through the entire thing! It was my husband's first time playing duffleboard and he loved it. I will say that I liked the tables at the pioneer square location more. I think they are all Washington/PNW themed there and at this location, they seem to be all generic sports themed. Either way though, it was fun and it's really nice that they let you bring the kiddos during the day. The beer selection is great! Next time we will have to try the food.

Great fun with mini golf, abundant seating, and a great menu! The cheesebread was so astoundingly good my whole group was pleasantly surprised. We will all be back for good food and drink! Service was solid too

This was a great fun, albeit short, for the entire family. We were there when it was somewhat busy, but since each group finishes at different speeds, we were able to do a few holes multiple times while waiting for a large group in front of us finish. I would do it again! We did not eat here. The food looks like pub food.

I came here for a mini golf league night. The vibe is really fun if you're looking for an activity along with food and drink. I got the lunch special which included any two pizza slices of choice (I got margarita and ace), a Caesar salad and a drink. I wish I got two slices of the ace, that was better than the margarita. The food was alright but I got the deal for $15 which is a steal!! I definitely would go here more for the vibes than the food. It's a fun place to hang out with friends! I didn't interact too much with the staff, food came out within 20 minutes so I can't comment too much on that. It's self service ordering and you get a table number for a server to bring your food to you!

I came to try the $14 unlimited games deal on the weekend. It's a great value, you can play as many mini golf or duffle board games as you want. The interior and staff were both nice. My only issue was the amount of unsupervised children who continually interfered with and messed up our games. We're pretty patient already but it was genuinely hard to play for most of our time. We didn't get to try the food or drinks this time but I would come back maybe during the 21+ hours.

Many social events seem to take place at the Flatstick Pub. I've always managed to say no until a work get together that we did last weekend. Basically it's mini golf with some duffleboard and you can have drinks and food here. They had a DJ booth set above the mini golf area and the music set a fun vibe. There was a big group playing mini golf ahead of us so we had to wait ~10 minutes for our turn, but my coworker and I just hang out while we were waiting so it didn't feel too long. Staff are nice. There are a few non alcoholic options at the bar so that was great as a severe lightweight. I feel like I enjoyed the pub in its entirety so I doubt I'll be back, but it was a good time.

Love the mini golf and duffleboard so much my hubs and I both bought lifetime memberships! Yep, totally worth it. Recently took our friends there for a post-birthday and recent college grad celebration and had a really fun time.

Food - nothing to write home about. The pizza is ok. The dough is pretty bland but not bad. Cheesy bread is decent. The garlic fries are pretty good but the quality varies pretty widely depending on who is in the kitchen. Portion sizes are pretty good for the price. I love the rotating draft selections for beer and cider. Plenty of vegetarian options, but not so many vegan ones. Service - it's usually pretty busy but they are pretty prompt. You place your order at the counter, pick up at the window when they text you, and bus your own table so it's pretty self sufficient. Ambiance - I go for Wednesday night trivia and it's really busy and loud. There's always something happening here. The mini golf is kinda cool. Also there's a "duffle board" game a bunch of people get really into. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I'll keep coming for the trivia and reasonably priced beer and snacks.

Score: 10/10 Buzzwords: Great local beers, highly entertaining, lively environment My girlfriend and I visited here on a Tuesday night ~8:30pm per reccomendations from friends. The 9-hole mini golf was the perfect novel date night activity with a charmingly small footprint that afforded organic interactions with nearby players. Though there was a group in front of us, the wait to golf didn't take more than 3-4 minutes between group. Moreover, the 9-hole shuffleboard course was another pleasantly novel experience we had yet to try and a source of new core memories. What made the experience particularly memorable as tourists was that the venue attracted / welcomed a diverse group of individuals ranging from the after work colleagues in business casual to first dates and of course, a plethora of friend groups enjoying each others company. Overall, this place is great for all sorts of hangouts ranging from a couple's date night to a catch up with a group of friends. Between the food / drinks, 9-hole mini golf, shuffle board, corn hole, adult Jenga and board games this is the setting to make some lasting memories

Went here for a date night. It was pretty fun, but I do wish it was less cramp. Had their local cider and it was good. The putts or whatever felt a little dirty. They should have a place to stick used putting sticks so they can clean it before the next use. Will definitely try their other locations to see how it is though.

pretty amazing spot for a bite of pizza and fun minigolfing with friends! highly recommend.

3.75 stars. Came here on a Tuesday at 4:45 and I'm glad we came when we did. By 5pm there were two different off-site events and the place seemed pretty busy even if the bar itself wasn't packed. You seat yourself and order at the bar/register. Ordered a 10oz Savage Blood Orange Witbier (which was light and a recommendation when I asked if anything was like a Blue Moon) plus mozzarella sticks and it was $17 and change. Nothing too special. Decent sized menu (bar fare + more) and a decent beer on tap menu. Happy hour is 3-5pm.

Super fun place! It can get quite busy but there's plenty of space. Highly recommend their frozen drinks, they're delicious. They have both mini golf and Duffleboard which is like mini golf and shuffleboard. $5 for Duffleboard and $10 for minigolf. There's a lot less people playing Duffleboard so it's not as crowded and I honestly like it more! It's different and unique, while mini golf you can play at other courses.

Currently they offer take out and delivery through the food delivery company Caviar. So far, only one size for the pizza but it comes out to about a medium and is one of the better priced pizza options you'll get in SLU. The toppings are really fresh, however the zucchini was a bit dry compared to the other vegetables on the Dance Floor. If they offered a grilled zucchini topping as an option, I think it could really give the Dance Floor some additional character. Pizza was still fresh after a 15-20min drive, and easily fed a small group of 4. Will definitely have to try some of their other pizzas!

Tried to take the kids here to get out of the rain and play some games, but the place was closed for a private event with no mention in their hours of operation.

Surprised my husband with a tee time here on our first night in Seattle. We had a blast playing putt putt as well as the other games. They have lots of local beers on tap, great pizza, and onion rings! Our bartender was the sweetest, can't remember his name, but he was from East Washington. Highly recommended!!!

Fantastic Experience Wide variety of cocktails and beers on tap, and service was super friendly in helping give recommendations. Very chill and welcoming environment to chill in first half, which then leads to an awesome mini golf course in the second half. 10/10 would go back again.

Best location among the Flatsick Pub mix, Pioneer Square has more space for golf and gaming (not people)... If you know Flatstick locations... It's Indoor miniature golf both traditional putting and table-top style. A fan of the service, music, and overall good energy.

This place was super crowded on a Wednesday evening as we tried to come for trivia night. We could only find a table in the very back corner which made it hard to see, but nonetheless still were able to participate. The cheesy bread was pretty good, though the sauce didn't have too much flavor. There's quite an assortment of games here, including board games, which I will have to check out again! Seems like a great spot for a post work event.

Came on a Wednesday night for trivia night! It was a full house! We arrived around 6:30pm and a really nice man, let our group have the larger table (party of 6). We scanned the QR code at the table and ordered at the bar. Our table got pizza (which they mentioned was really good) and I got the chicken tenders and fries - portions are generous and filling. My husband also ordered the Blood Orange beer and he said it was so refreshing and delicious. Trivia was a fun time. They have a game that starts at 7pm and then another one at 8pm hosted by Sporcle. There are prizes if your team wins. No maximum number of guests per team. Would definitely come again for their mini golf, duffleboard and more trivia!

We were up from out of state for a few days and wanted to find something to do out of the rain for the evening. Great round of mini golf, good pizza with a huge selection of local beers. Got to play Monday night bingo hosted by Steve who is awesome! Whole staff was top notch. Totally recommend stopping in especially if you're around on a Monday!

Came here on a sunday evening and it wasn't that busy. Got their special pizza and it was decent but I really wish they had tomato sauce. Guess it's my bad for not reading it. Also got salt and vinegar fries and I would not recommend. I like salt and vinegar chips (favorite type of chips) but I think the fries just do not taste as good as normal fries.

The hot pizza was fantastic. The mini golf was a ton of fun too. We will definitely be back.

Grab a pint and a put Flatstick Pub is absolutely what's up! This large spacious indoor mini golf gastropub offers lots including booth, table and bar area seating... A great Dj... Top notch Flatstick staff... A fun selection of bar eats including tacos, pizza, snackable appetizers and more not to mention a massive collection of board games and a little table top version of miniature golf known as duffleboard. Stopped in for my best friend's birthday weekend with him and his husband and had an amazing time from start to finish. The were definitely blasting the heat toward the back area of this incredible South Lake Union location as I've never been more warm indoors in life... Ever... Truly bittersweet when you all start sweating by hole two, but there are some cooler areas in places and the front room is just perfect. They definitely starts to pick up more after 9:30/10 pm on the weekend it seems... While we did have to wait and pause a few times between shots much like an outdoor mini course we had plenty to enjoy in between aside from each other. Flatstick South Lake Union had a few birthday parties going on with reserved areas including the back bar area that were sectioned off and well set up. Would absolutely have a birthday situation here myself. Even though we didn't plan to stop in until the day off due to a concert in the area being cancelled/rescheduled just days before... I think we're all beyond glad we did as it's a blast. Great local ciders (including the Locust Mojito and Bad Granny), IPAs (Georgetown, Silver City, Watts), hefes, ales and even non alcoholic beverages like that Rachel's blood orange ginger beer on tap... WOW! Veggie friendly of course with some easy vegan mods. Gluten-free options too! They have other locations in the Greater Seattle Area as well as a Tacoma location coming soon I look forward to trying out when I'm back in state/town visiting. Parking on/down the street is easy (free after 6pm and Sundays), but you can find some parking structures nearby in a pinch. Super big thanks to Seattle local Wendi K for the suggestion! This spot is definitely a hole in one!

Kids and adults had a lot of fun. Adults had the table top courses to play with. Kids had the full sized mini golf course to play on. Beware that adults may be distracted by drink and social interaction while their little kids wield metal sticks somewhat unsupervised... Watch your shins...

The golf is super fun and there are lots of beer and drink options on tap! Very fun atmosphere and lots of space to hang out. Only downside is that the SLU location does not allow dogs. Very friendly staff.

Nice setting to grab some drinks and chill, but games may be a hit or miss. Mostly due to long lines and wait times. Seems like a nice spot for food too, but I can't exactly comment on those. Paid $12 for unlimited games but then saw a sign for $10 so don't know what the deal is. Mini golf is pretty small so don't come here with the sole purpose of mini golf. However, come for mini golf alongside other activities including pong or duffleboard. I had no idea what duffleboard was, but it seems to have been created by Flatstick Pub. Essentially, it's hand mini golf but you only hit once. Wherever your ball lands is how many hits would be counted (so lowest score at the end, like in mini golf, wins). There are other board games available too, so it's nice to sit down and check out.

This place is like peak corporate happy hour LOL. I feel like every company I know has had a team social here, but also it's not a bad spot to hang out with friends on a weekend or come here on a date night. They have a wide selection of beers, drinks, and pub food to accompany you on your mini golf journey. The food is honestly nothing impressive, but I doubt you'll find anyone who goes to a mini golf place to try the best pizza in the city, you know? The holes themselves are pretty fun. It's a relatively short course, but it's a good time when hanging out with others. The course could be improved a bit, as in some spots the flooring is a bit uneven and the holes could be refined. They also have board games and arcade games if you finish your round early. My friends and I love playing Duffleboard, which is kind of like a combined table-top version of mini golf and shuffleboard. All together, it's a pretty consistently solid venue if you're looking for something fun to do with your coworkers, friends, or date!

Fun, family-friendly spot! We came on a Saturday morning right after it opened and it got busy real fast! There is a lot of space and activities. We especially enjoyed duffleboard but ran out of time to play mini golf. The food is surprisingly really good and the servers are super nice! They gave my 2year old extra balls to play with. I also love the variety of non-beers to choose from since I don't drink beer.

My husband and I are huge Flatstick fans. We've been to the one back home - Sacramento - many times and we recently visited the Tahoe location earlier this year. So naturally, we had to cross Seattle off! We came in on Monday night and the space wasn't too busy. But the staff didn't really greet us. They have a table up front that stands as the host table but no one was there...we went to the counter that looks like where you get started on your games but no one was there either...finally went to the bar and they took care of us. There's $10 combo in which you get one game of mini golf and unlimited games of duffle board. We started with mini golf and we're kind of disappointed. There were only 9 holes and a majority of them were similar. Nothing really exciting, especially when comparing it to the other locations. Duffleboard was much more entertaining! My husband and I really enjoyed several holes and were determined to try some over and over again. Lol, I think there are 9? They also had Duffle pong! I'm not sure if it's free or what...But when we walked over there were already balls over there lol so we went for it. It was challenging but very fun! They also had a pinball style game next to duffle pong. These stood apart to us and in comparison to the other locations. If you're looking for something to do while in town, Flatstick is always fun and reasonably price.

Came here with my girlfriend on a Monday evening to check out their happy hour and bingo! They have weekly bingo at 7 and it was our first time. We've been here previously for the mini-golf, and had a pleasant experience, although felt that the mini golf wasn't as refined as it could've been (bad flooring, holes weren't proper, etc). This time, we checked out the duffleboard. We loved it! It's affordable, fun, and WAY better than the mini-golf in my opinion. For the happy hour, we got drinks (which are $1.50 off) and a pizza (which is a flat $12). The fairway pizza was an absolute delight, and much bigger than we expected. The bingo started at 7, and was super fun! It doesn't get a big crowd, maybe because it's Monday, but they have a proper set-up and provide you with everything. Plus, it's free! They have some amazing prizes (free merch, ciders, food, etc.) and I was even lucky enough to win. Definitely coming here again. It's always a fun time and they have plenty of options for food, drinks, and games.

Solid place to grab a pizza and a pint and watch some football. Came after work to meet up with a buddy and watch Thursday Night Football. We sat at a couple of open seats at the bar and were promptly offered drinks and food. They have a good selection of beers, ciders, and cocktails on tap. We ordered pizza which you pick up at in front of the kitchen at the end of the bar. Pizza was good, beers were cold, service was friendly and efficient. We didn't get a chance to play any of the games they have, but I could see this being a good spot to come with a group. Overall, I would come back here to do the exact same thing again.
