Prost!

Yummy German bier! Love the outdoor seating (European style/cafe culture), too! The bar folks are wonderful, too!

Great service!! Friendly barkeeps!! And great German Biersss🍻

Prost! has an excellent selection of German beers, including some of my favorites from living in Germany. The food is simple but well-made, with all the classics done right. The staff is friendly, the service is great, and the German-themed decor adds to the experience. A spot worth returning to.

I just can’t believe these 5 star reviews? I just had a terrible experience here and can’t quite wrap my head around it. The staff must have been having a bad night, but it was like our server was avoiding us all night. The first pretzel was fine and the beer is great. Credit where credit is due for the heavy pours. But all downhill from there. The Seattle Bratwurst Sandwich was sad. It had all of my favorite ingredients in it but I could taste the sadness/hate of whoever made it. It just wasn’t good and was pretty small of what the menu described as a “meal”. Weirdly I was still hungry after an app and “meal” so I ordered the only dessert option - a desert pretzel. It was SO hard, like our group of three gave up trying to cut it. It also tasted like sadness covered with whipped cream… I’m just so confused because my group came here specifically for all the stellar reviews and we left all commenting on how dissatisfied we were with the food and service. If you like good German beer and nothing else then come here. I’ve been to Germany and their notoriously cool customer service was better than what we experienced.

Nice little spot. It's great for grabbing a drink and we even get some reading done there (with our headphones in) sometimes.

Great for take out, great for a happy hour pint with some snacks. Try a wurst! Try a pretzel, try everything. Excellent vibes, busy but not too much so. friendly quick and casual service.

Ummm, YES ! SERVICE a 12. FOOD an 11. BEER an 11. Was here during the Greenwood Car Show and everybody that was working here was having fun, joking, and laughing with each other regardless of being overly busy. They did not have bad attitudes, pissed off, or disgruntled because of today's event. Very admiral. Place looked extremely organized and clean. This place is obviously well managed with top notch employees. Don't hesitate to enjoy this place. Very impressive.

Love this spot! Great beer, awesome vibes, and the staff is super friendly. Perfect place to hang with friends and grab a pretzel and a pint.

My husband and I were drawn in here one night while walking along Phinney Ridge. There was an Oktoberfest celebration going on and the place was packed, but we managed to snag a table outside when a group left. For drinks, we ordered the Köstritzer Schwarzbier and Bitburger Pils- about $9 for half a liter, but makes sense given that it's slightly more than a pint and imported from Germany. Great to see places with authentic German beer! For food, we ordered the cheesy bretzel roll, bratwurst with sauerkraut, and Bavarian pretzel. All were tasty, particularly the side pickles that came with everything, although the cheesy bretzel roll is definitely not authentic German food (but still delicious!). At one point, they offered free tasters of beer to everyone from "tapping the keg" which was a really fun experience! Overall, a great place to go for authentic German beer and some bar snacks, but even more fun during the Oktoberfest season.

So cute in here! Service is great and I love that they have a full bar in addition to beer. The punch card system is a fun touch. Pretzels are good, wish the brat was popped in the oven or thrown in a pan to brown a bit.

This spot has become a go to for me and my wife. I love the German beer selection and my wife adores their Kirsch (cherry) cider, plus the stuff always has treats for our dog Florence. We like to grab an outdoor table and play cards with our chocolate lab

Good place to gather with friends. If you get enough stamps, you can get a mug, you name on a plaque, or merchandise. I like when they have radlers on tap!

Nice place and good "dive bar" to have a beer or two. Food was alright if you want to have a quick bite, but you shouldn't come here if you are really craving a main German dish (just set your expectations accordingly). The girl at the bar/waitress was very nice and polite and took great care of me. I'd recommend this place.

Good spot to drop for a half hour in for a stein of beer and bowl of nut snacks, chat casually at the bar.

Same beer, ambient of other Prost! In Seattle with a Greenwood vibe. Settle back and drink a few, neighbors and locals chat as us Burien folks drink and read a book from the local bookstore.

A friend recommended this place when we were looking for a German restaurant to celebrate October Fest. We will looking for a quality pretzel and found it at Prost. We also had the Seattle Bratwurst Sandwich and the Two sausage plate. Everything was good quality and had great flavor. Our server was responsive, kind, and provided great service.

Prost is a hidden gem in this neighborhood. We stopped by for a quick beer and found the ambience, food, and service to exceed expectations! They have a great outdoor seating space, complete with German decor and heating. They also have indoor seating and a giant walk covered in German beer steins. The menu isn't extensive but who doesn't love a fresh soft pretzel with pickles and mustard? They have this pretzel with meat that sort of tastes like a pizza. They have both beer and wine options but the Hefeweizen was my favorite. Staff was courteous and there was hand sanitizer a plenty. I am looking forward to visiting Prost again soon.

We celebrated my partners birthday at Prost! Great beer and great German food. Ashley waited on us and took excellent care of our table of 10. We ordered the giant pretzel and sausages and the black Forrest ham sandwich on pretzel bread bun Yum! They had lots of German beers on tap and they have a full service bar. We will be back!!!

Let me start by saying that we called the tavern prior to arrival to make sure they are kid friendly, which they said they are. Note: they do not provide high chairs as this is a legit bar. I don't know how kid friendly it is as it is small and really would only work for a baby, in my opinion. That being said, my one year old was fine and we luckily brought a portable high chair for her. Now for the food and service. The ladies that helped us were really friendly and attentive. The food was great. We tried the sampler, bratwurst and sauerkraut, and Bavarian pretzel. Everything was full of flavor and tasted great.

I had never visited this pub before but was looking for a fun spot for a casual evening with some friends and this was the perfect place! We all got ourselves some liters, recommended by the bartender, and enjoyed a great evening together. Didn't order food but will definitely come back for some! Great atmosphere, great service, and great bier. Prost!

Walk in for a beer and relax your day away. The beers are a good mix of local and German. If you go here often enough to kill your liver they have some great items you can try and get with your beer punch card, like shirts, steins, plagues and stools. I felt really comfortable sitting at the bar with a pretzel and a beer. They have more food options than I was expecting but from what I saw it was very simple things like sausage and bread. I would have like to have seen more risk with the German food but nothing too exciting.

Servers were very inattentive, when we tried to go in and order since we had waited so long, they just looked at us like we were crazy. Did not include all of the items mentioned in plates provided on the menu, but by the time we reached that point we were just ready to check out and leave. Bartenders seem far more focused on shooting the shit with people at the counter than serving customers. I was really excited to try this place, but I will not be back.

Just had a few beers with a friend here. Great atmosphere reasonably priced delicious beers. Great little parklet out front for enjoying the summer days with a German beer. I have previously eaten hear several years ago with a sizable party on a very busy night and recall delicious German themed bites and friendly staff surprisingly expedient and attentive given how busy it was that night.

My partner and I still love Prost! The delicious Belgian and German beers on tap rotate regularly, and they recently added a 0.0% ABV German beer, which is a great option to have. The staff are friendly and welcoming! I was excited to earn my plaque on the wall.

Service was a bit slow but friendly and attentive. The beer and cocktails we had were great. One person ordered the bagel and was pleased. The two people who ordered different types of sausage said it was the worst they had. Overall, a nice place for drinks.

This place has a good selection of German beer but, if you're not a regular, don't bother coming there. You'll be treated like garbage. I've frequently been ignored by the staff when sitting at the bar and when I request a beverage after being ignored for 10 minutes, it is met with annoyance from the bar staff. Many rude staff members and just feels like a negative atmosphere. You'd be happier going to 74th, Hecho, or Cozy Nut, where the folks are friendly.

Stopped in for a refreshing brew and found a stash of great German beer. A nice change from the usual northwest American beers that fumble aroma, bittering, and flavor hops in all kinds of ways. Service was really excellent. Had a sandwich. German style, it was awesome, on a pretzel roll with yummy mustard. Fun place. If I lived in the area I would certainly be a club member with prost tattoos.

A friend and I had a great time here. We sat outside and had an excellent German beer. I knocked them one star because they charge $6 for a soft pretzel.

Lovely place! Big fan! Great staff and authentic German beer. Poured the perfect traditional German way

Kristina (she looks like she spells it with a K) was an incredible bartender. She was friendly and warm, nice to people with disabilities, and understanding of people who can't pronounce German words. Definitely doesn't stalk David Matthews.

Ah! German Bier! What could be better than 2 litres of some sweet, unfiltered heffy? I haven't found anything yet! See my picture for an example, its not a yard of beer (and I don't believe they have them) but it is enough to satisfy ANY thirst, and let me tell you, me and the rest of my gang were thirsty! We all went there with the express purpose of drinking from "Das Boot" like in "Beer Fest" [Broken Lizard Films] but we were slightly disappointed when they came out with an over-sized Guinness glass (but not that disappointed!) It was still big enough to draw looks from everyone in the bar, especially when it was passed across the bar to us, and I had the first sip, and what a sip it was! My face was covered in foam! Before I drank, and I asked if I could set the beer down to let it settle a bit, but they were quite stern about the "you can't set the beer down" rule, so what the hell, go for it! We had about 7 or 8 people to share, so it was fine, and after our 4th 2-liter :O) (apparently you're only supposed to get two per group of 4...memory is fuzzy) But anyhow, I'm surprised we lasted that long due to the smell of rotting Sour Kraut the place had, geez, it was enough to make your first thought be of leaving, not which beer to have first. And to be fair, they did have a great selection of beer, not brauwers great, but 6 German beers I've never heard before great. The waitresses weren't the friendliest I've ever had, but they were accommodating to our large group with no where to sit, except 2 seats in front of the bar. So between the smell, the huskies losing, and the lack of seating, we made our way to another watering hole around 10. Have to recommend this place for the one time experience, I would do it again, but only to experience others to it. Obligatory Music Review: Hardly any music could be heard over our young and energetic group, but I believe there was something being played, as there were also 2 sports games on the TVs Cheers! I mean, Prost! -AK

Oh such a nice place great concept but the female bartender with glasses is terrible. I don't know of she is having an off day but she should be more organized. I am assuming it is a training problem because she does things in a different way. She talks to customers on down times but doesn't do any side jobs. Takes her for ever to do anything. I think management should look into training.

Great beer selection! Pretty small space but decorated well. I would like more mustard with my pretzel...

Das boot! This is sort of a Neighborhood pub that has a very German feel. The well crafted beers go down nicely and its generally done with a smile and great service. The ownership of Prost has also opened The Ridge Pizza just down the block and you can see the pedigree between the two. What else can be said of a pub... oh yes it your interested in having beer in a boot... this is the place they have a glass boot to serve you beer. Hope to see some of you there.

This was my first time at Prost! Tavern in Phinney Ridge. It was an excellent one for sure! SERVICE: The service was great! They brought our drinks in a timely manner and we didn't sit long before they took our orders. DRINKS: The drinks were fantastic and our group really enjoyed their chosen ones. My boyfriend particularly enjoyed one that was a "Nutty Amber" - he was a huge fun! The selection of beer and wine was good. I was a little bummed to not see more of a German Wine selection. That was really the only downside. AMBIANCE: The style of the tavern was perfect and definitely looked as if you were in a German pub. There is little space to sit, so if you are bringing a big group, I suggest getting there early. Also, in traditional German etiquette, there are mugs, seats and tables with family names on them. So if someone from that family shows up, prepare to move. Our group will definitely return here.

This is THE place to catch SF Giants baseball games! We found out about this being an unofficial Giants bar via Reddit, and it made watching the postseason so much more fun this year. Everyone was wearing hats, jerseys, and other gear! Even though our playoff run has come to a close this season (RIP), finding Prost has made the season more memorable. They have a variety of German beers on tap, and service is super attentive and friendly. It's amazing how much the ladies here can get done, even with a full bar and just two of them serving, pouring, busing, cooking. The cheesy bretzel roll is a great snack, and the roast beef sandwich is killer! Start a punch card on your first visit so that you don't miss out on working toward rewards.

As the guys on the "Men's Room" would say: "We pour this booze and drink this booze because we think its yummy! Yummy! So over the tongue and down the throat to party in our tummy! DOWN THE HOLELA BITCHOLA!" Zipzap Zubidy Bop!

You really feel the lack of German chow competition in Seattle when you come to this place. It has some german beer and it's served in giant glasses. Some sad overpriced plates of middling sausage and breads are available, but I don't recommend them. If you must have something, ask when they last received a pretzel/bread shipment. They get it twice a week and if it wasn't that morning, you shouldn't like it. Think of this like a mini-hoffbrau house without the food and staffed by people who don't know much about what a good German would serve. This is a place to drink beer and maybe eat something. Please don't confuse this with a restaurant.

I explored this place with a buddy while housesitting in Phinney Ridge. Let's face it this place is all about the beer! You can get original German hefeweizen, creamy original nitros, and everything in between. It's good quality, and basically you get exactly what you pay for here. Suit your style: rich, smooth, creamy, delicious, hoppy, whatever! It's all good. It compares favorably to beers you'll find near the Rhinelander in Portland. Good stuff. Salud! Nazdravi! Prost!

I walked in and there wasn't a place to sit, so I walked down the street to the 74th Street Ale House. Still though, I wanted to check it out, I've heard nothing but great things about it on here. After downing a few pints over some good conversation over at the 74th, we decided to try once more. Luckily, it had thinned out a bit and a few bar stools were now available. Now, I'm not particularly picky when it comes to beer. As long as it tastes half way decent and gets me drunk, I'm usually fine with it. With that said, I'm not sure this is my kind of place. They have a pretty extensive list of German beers served in glasses ranging from the usual pint glass to what looked like a gallon of beer. People seem to love this place and who am I to argue with the masses? I don't know if I'll be rushing back for another go round, but I also wouldn't deny it if someone else suggested it. Plus, I wouldn't mind trying some of their authentic German fair. Who doesn't love a giant Bratwurst smothered in spicy brown?

Prost! and I go way back. I've been to a few of his brethren before (I've partaken in a few "boots" at Die Bierstube & Feierabend is always nice after an REI trip), but this was my first visit to the genesis of this brand of German pub. It's no surprise, but I totally loved this spot as well. There's something about the dark brown woody interiors of these bars which bring out the German in me (well, the Wannabe German in me). Oh, and as with all of their bars, the servers are super nice (and generally super cute). So yes, after a vegetarian meal at Carmelita's or just after bar hopping Greenwood, this is definitely a stop you have to make on your list for the evening

I really love Prost!, even though it's siblings now out-shine it (Die BierStube on Roosevelt and Feierabend on South Lake Union) it's still the best beer oriented bar on this stretch of Greenwood. Prost's tap selection is all German all the time but unlike other multi-taps in town the selection doesn't change all that often here except during holidays, which is fine considering the quality of the product. The food selection here is limited to German style pub food like bratwurst w. sauerkraut and hot pretzel w. mustard, but the food is NOT the focus here. Prost is, as other reviewers pointed out, a shoebox sized establishment which gets crowded very fast so I'd skip peak boozing hours in favor of a nice Sunday afternoon visit if you don't like being cheek-to-jowl with drunk 20-somethings and stoic Beer-Dads. I can see what other people are complaining about via the service, but none of the bartenders have ever been rude or dismissive with me, just super busy which may mean a slightly longer wait. As is also noted by others, you can get a punch card to record your purchases to redeem for free beer later which is a nice touch for beer pimps like me. As for not being able to set down "The Boot" while drinking: you get what you deserve if you order a gallon of beer in a giant glass boot.

Thank you for making my out of town experience during a world series win all the more better. I was sad, I was missing my friends and family, and I didn't know what to do because I wasn't home but finding out about Prost! and watching the Giants clinch the World Series here made me realize that our fans are the greatest, in SF and outside of SF. Outside of this, the beers on tap as well as seasonal beers that may not be on the menu but are available are excellent. The next time I'm in Seattle, I'll be paying you a visit. I will be sure to do my part and spread the word about Seattle's "unofficial official Giants bar."

Prost! gets! many! things! right! except! for! the! frat! boy! vibe! Sorry, their name is just so exciting. Great place to chillax after a nice dinner at Greenwood Mandarin. The beers are very specialized and not the usual fare. The pub has an intimate scale and fun decorations. The menu is small and fits the theme. I wish I still could stomach bratwurst, or I would eat here. This is a great bar when the crowd is down to earth.

The Kassler Rippchen mit Sauerkraut is some of the best pork I have ever tasted. It just works with the hot mustard and the kraut. Yum! What we didn't like- We had 4 plates and every single one we got was chipped! The pretzels are only slightly better than those you would get at the movies or a sporting event. One of the people commented that the only difference between those pretzels and the ones served at Prost is that they aren't cooled off and reheated 40 times before you get it. Service was so/so, only one waitress to a packed (albeit small) house. It would have been much better with 2 people waiting tables. The waitress on duty was doing her best though. Good German beer selection with descriptions so you know what you are ordering.

Prost! is the slighty stuffier older brother to Die bierStube's frat-partying ways. And though I'm past my college days, I much prefer the Stube. Mostly for two reasons: (1) the size/layout of Prost!; and (2) the service. Don't get me wrong--I love small, intimate bars, but Prost! is claustrophobic to the point of incapacitation. Granted, Prost! doesn't have the same large, drunken crowds as bierStube, but even one decent sized party in here can cause overcrowding. More importantly, every time I've been here the service has been sloooooow. In the realm of restaurants, the tortoise never wins the race. Even on days when there are only a couple patrons, it's taken forever to get beer and food. Tables are never bussed and ready to go--in fact, I've bussed them myself several times. The menu is almost identical to bierStube, though a bit pricier (maybe that's in my head...) So between the older and the younger, coug it up.

one word .... prost! (cheers) Ok more than one word, place is fantastic!!! Service was awesome we were treated like... Family!

My 4 star rating is strictly for the beer. While we did get food here, I thought it was just OK. They only had 1 boot in circulation during our visit and while it was a pain to wait while the 4 other groups in front of us finished their boot, it did bring some competition to the table; which was fun. The atmosphere is very authentic and they have some awesome beers on tap. Everything is also wicked affordable. There aren't many tables for large groups so if you do stop by with a large group, be sure to visit earlier in the day instead of the evening.

Good beer. great service. the food is not for my palate at all, but for people who are German of German decent or my European descent will love this food? anyhow the bartender thy day was super energetic and friendly and she gave us samples before we committed to a .3, .5, 1L, Or a boot. who can drink that much beer? apparently a lot of people here up on Phinney. I'm amazed. I'll go for the IPA and NW beers but for a hot day- a light kolsch hits the spot.

I'm a fan of Prost's brother-bar in SLU, Feierabend. If you've been there or heard about it, Prost! is really similar. The menu, the beer list, etc is all the same. However, the location is entirely different and therefore so is the atmosphere. I like that Prost! is somewhat more tucked away, somewhat smaller, and somewhat cozier. I love both bars but if I lived closer to Prost I'd probably visit it more often because it has the feel of the types of bars I like to go to. If you like good beer and good food you're in good hands!

Bottom fermented goodness. Here in the pacific northwest, beer has to have more going on than just cold and boozy (although that doesn't hurt!) This region has an abundance of craft brewers, brewpubs, fine beer availability, bars dedicated to all things beer, homebrewers, organic beers, unique brews, restaurants with beer pairings...you name it! The bummer for some folks is that most of the craft brews you find in seattle are ales and darnit sometimes a lager beer is just plain refreshing. Enter Prost! with its nice selection of bocks, pils and the like. This is the place for me when I want to kick back with a beer that one could drink all day. And I do mean all day. Servings here can get pretty crazy. While most will opt for a scant liter, there are a few that work their livers and bladders over with a full on boot o' beer. Don't let the beer geeks intimidate you on the styles either, the staff at prost will be happy to hand you a menu of which is which on tap and wait for you to make your selection. I'll always be an american ale guy, its what I brew myself and its what I love, but this place is great to switch it up.

Ach du lieber! I loves me some Prost!. If you're in for a cozy, friendly place to sample an ample selection of German imports or inspired beers Prost! (and related bars) is a place to go check out. Picnic benches in the traditional German bier-hall style you can settle in next to strangers and kick off a conversation or keep it to yourself. It seems that whenever I stop in for my fav weissbier I see the owner, Chris, sampling his own wares with patrons. To me that's a great thing an owner/manager who is still inspired by the dream that he's put together in the Phinney neighborhood.

This is a great place to stop for some excellent German brew. The beer selection is large even though the restaurant is small. I had some excellent Bratwurst at one of the little tables on the sidewalk in front. This place reminds me of a little place I like outside of Munich.It's authentic German for sure.

It isn't a very big place but the waitress seemed to be struggling to get my friends their food. On the other hand, they have very generous pours of wine and the food is A+ I have the bratwurst sandwich, a pretzel, and the potato leek soup (hey - I was hungry) and all of it was filling and flavorful. I don't find myself in Phinney, but this place along with Carmelita across the street, are worth going back for. Also a must try on Phinney - Red Mill Burgers!

Awesome German bar if you're just looking to have a beer or maybe 4 or 5 beers. Nice location.... I was disappointed thinking they had a complete dinner menu of authentic German food, but all they have are a few snack-type items to go with your beer. We tried to different food items and I certainly would not go back for the food.

Beer...it's what's for dinner. Ah Prost, it's like a bootycall of beer. Yes, perhaps it can get a little cramped at times but the atmosphere is always warm and the service is typically always good. Their Currywurst always hits the spot and if you like dark beer try the Dinkle Acker dark. By your second liter you'll swear you're speaking German. Prost!
