"Best new after work hang. Large tables offer space for your whole office, and there's a garden patio to boot! Cut loose with a selection of 25 beers on tap, eat a brat or two, along with a tasty selection of German appz n' sertz." - MINT
"What started out as a German-style beerhall has shifted to what owners Gary Szeredy and Justin Andrews — who bought it in 2020 — call a “Northwest Beerhall.” What does that mean? A ton of TVs playing sports, a famous smashburger (that predates the current smashburger craze), and local beers on tap. It’s simple, but it’s hard to find a better spot to prefunk a Kraken or Storm game." - Meg van Huygen
"This expansive, communal German-style beer hall in Queen Anne underwent an ownership change in 2020, which has reinvigorated the venue and toned down the German-ness while keeping the robust list of European and local beers. The menu is all about bar food classics, including pretzels — you can get charcuterie inside a pretzel — and smash burgers, which have become the bar’s most famous item." - Harry Cheadle
"When: Monday-Friday, 3-6pm The Deal: $5 Glasses Of Wine, $6 Select Beers, $6 Smashburger You can find a pre-Kraken game meal that's probably better than what you'll find at Climate Pledge Arena at Queen Anne Beerhall. Eat one of their tasty smashburger before watching Jewell Loyd and company hoop it up." - aimee rizzo, gabe guarente
