Side Hustle Local

A MUST TRY!!! Food, service and ownership are all fabulous! The atmosphere is fun, and they have games on the screens loud and proud! It made for a fun environment and great place to get drinks and wings! All things in the menu are yummy! I do recommend getting the game day wings with sauce on the side! They are real good size wings, and cooked to perfection! All sauces are made in house, and delicious! Sandos are all delicious!!! We got the salmon sando with fries and it’s all good! Beers and ciders on tap are chilled and good! They have a good selection of beers and other spirits!

Fantastic place! I am in love with the Marmot Totoro ❤️ The food was also delicious, so much is made fresh and in house (even the puff pastry). The flavors show the love. Staff was perfectly attentive and helpful. Super friendly! Huge beer selection, lots of fun cocktails, and a few other things that are sure to please just about anyone.

I have to give a shout out to Hannah, ask for her favorite drink and service! (You will order more than once) I’m not big on sweets but it was made perfectly with that balance! The atmosphere was there, asked for a game on the TV and was added with a smile! No rush and great service every time! This was the GO TO APP!!! Also the double smash was a mountain!!!

Side Hustle – Bothell. My wife, 13 yr old son and Istopped by Side Hustle and had a great experience. The burgers were solid and well-executed, the focizza (focaccia pizza) was a fun twist and nicely done, and the salad was fresh and balanced. The overall vibe was welcoming and relaxed, making it an easy place to settle in and enjoy a meal. There were families playing with their kids, couples and a few bar friends who all looked like they were having a good time. A dependable spot with good food and a friendly atmosphere, definitely worth a visit.

To say that this place is amazing is an understatement. I tried my wifes dish, and our friends dishes. Every single thing i ate or drank here was delicious beyond belief. The ribs were juicy and immaculate, the paella was fresh and wonderfully spiced. Everything was so good and low priced.

We got there during Happy Hour and figured why not? The HH menu is limited but they have a couple of items for mature diners so we got the smashed burgers. Although they were not “smashed” but were still delicious burgers. Adequate drink selections. Excellent service!

This neighborhood joint is destined to be a local favorite. Surprisingly great food made with fresh ingredients my local owners and their family serving up some tasty elixirs. Rumor has it they're bringing in live musicians in the weekends! I encourage all the locals to come out and give it a try!

It was my first time trying a traditional English Sunday Roast and I really enjoyed it. The service by Connor was excellent and what a treat meeting James the owner! He is truly passionate about his beer, wine, food and the service. Great place to come for a quick beer, appetizers or a full meal. I’ve already been back a couple times. Another Bothell gem!

Clean, nice atmosphere. Beer was great and good selection of spirits. Food as ok. Lukewarm and definitely cooked last night or earlier that day. Might be better when it's busy and the food is fresh.

Food delish. We had appetizers. My cocktail was carefully made and wonderful. Husband seems to enjoy their beers. We are here to see the playoff games.

A great new restaurant in Bothell. Delicious made from scratch food. A number of gluten free and dairy free options. They have gluten free buns for their sandwiches and burgers. We got the Atlantic salmon BLT sandwich and the piece of salmon was huge. The paella was delicious and I highly recommend it. The service was good as well. My only complaints are the restaurant was really cold and people were putting coats on inside. Also $30 for the paella is way too much for the size of the dish. It's tiny. They should add more rice and a larger dish.

Would have been 5 but the bread pudding was horrible? More on that later. I came here tonight to escape the state of the Union bs. I was greeted by the most sweet waitress ever. I'm sorry I didn't get her name. I ordered a Rue Old Fashioned and it was perfectly blended and tasty. I wanted lite so ordered the Coronation salad and it was so good, just the right an out of chicken thighs grapes, cranberries and shaved almonds and the smooth curry dressing was so delicious. It was so perfect and I'll Definitely order it again. Then, I ordered the bread pudding to go. It came with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream with some caramel sauce. However, the bread pudding itself was close to in edible. It must have been made weeks ago and was so dry it almost required a jackhammer to break apart. I was so disappointed and ended up throwing most of it out. This place is less than a block away and I've never had a bad meal there and I highly recommend it. But recommend passing on the bread pudding unless you want something to throw at an ICE agent. 2/2822026 -amendment-I stopped here again for lunch. There were two occupied tables and the rest of the place was empty except for staff. A server came by and said "I'll be right back with you". I waited 15 minutes and not one showed up. I won't go back changing my rating to -1

Side Hustle is a newly opened brewery in downtown Bothell. While it doesn't have the classic brewery vibe (tall ceilings and expansive spaces), the service was friendly and attentive! The food was pretty good overall -- the bread was the standout for us, and the chicken wings were tasty (though they did seem big). A nice addition to the Bothell scene, and definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.

This place is like Cheers but they have good beer and good food! Cool people work here! Service is amazing and it has a knock out ambiance. They even have a speak easy in the back that you can rent out for parties. I had this wonderful Coq Au Vin there with a pint of some amazing French Pilsner. This is my new go to!

This place was a new adventure for us and we went here for my wife's bday dinner. They only had 2 people working the floor and bar, not sure the kitchen but that did cause a bit of strain on the workers... they were doing their best. The flatbread and sandwiches were delicious and the fries were pretty good too.

My friends and I really liked our late lunch here. We came in on a Saturday afternoon around 1:30 and it wasn't busy. We sat ourselves in a booth and were quickly helped by a waitress. It seemed really quiet with no one else really there, curious to see if it is busier/livelier other times of the day. Two of us ordered salmon burger and my other friend got the chicken burger. The salmon burger would have been really good except the actual salmon something tasted off and we weren't sure if it was fresh. The chicken burger was great though! We all thought the fries were delicious. I would come back and try something else next time.

Food is really good. For once the sharable fries are big enough to actually share. Most dishes could be split between two people but they aren't full meals. Service is really nice. I have yet to find a beer I really enjoy. I can tell the beers are well made and I can drink may of them. I just haven't found a go to beer.

Side Hustle Brewery is an absolute gem! James the owner, along with Mel, Hannah, and the rest of the workers and cooks have created a warm and welcoming space with incredible beer and even better vibes. Everyone who works here is amazing--friendly, passionate, and always ready to make your visit special. Love this place! *don't forget to ask about the speakeasy, worth the investment

What a fabulous experience! The food was delicious (the motherclucker is out of this world), the service was friendly and attentive, and the signature cocktails were perfect. Will definitely be back!

We had the best experience! The service was amazing. The bartender and owner continued to make sure we were taken care of and happy. The margaritas were great. They were fresh and not too sweet. We can't wait to go back!

The interior is very nice. Clean and stylish euro pub decor. Service was good. Food was a major bust. Their menu and website are deceiving, they boast generous portions but that is not the case. I was very disappointed with the gambas al ajillio. The shrimp were decent(not over cooked) but it was almost $26 for a couple shrimp in a bowl of oil that was not appetizing for dipping plus a little piece of focaccia. Commonwealth curry with chicken was better and at least a more satisfying meal. Prices are high, but in my experience it wasn't worth it. Exterior signage is on the smaller side and can be hard to spot from the street.

What a great addition to the Bothell area! We aren't there often, but I'm glad we got to check it out for dinner with friends. Vibe/atmosphere is definitely giving sports bar but elevated. Really fun spot to meet with friends and the service is great! While it's more of a sports bar vibe, the menu is anything but. There's something for everyone and soooo many options sound amazing. My fiance and I tend to order things and split so that we can try a nice variety, and that's what we did here too. We tried the Motherclucker and the Highlander. The Motherclucker as the name implies is their take on a chicken sandwich. Really good - loved how crispy the chicken was. We also added gouda which I definitely recommend. The Highlander was also delicious - their take on a smash burger and it's so good. Patties cooked to perfect! The fries are also super good. While we aren't up in Bothell often, I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu because there's at least three other dishes I almost ordered!

First of all our server, Solana, was soooo great. She was friendly, knew the menu well, and was able to answer all of our questions. Lots of beer to choose from, all from Bellevue Brewing (same owner). You can do a flight and my husband favorite was the Vicious Mockery, so after his flight he got a pint of that. They have a full bar, and are working on the cocktail menu. Cider and wine is also available. They are still in their soft opening. As for food, the menu is unique. We opted for the Highlander Burger and the Side Chick salad. But next time I plan to try one of their interesting skillet dishes. Husband reports that the burger was fantastic, and the fresh made focaccia made it amazing! My salad was delicious. The chipotle ranch dressing took it next level. I loved all the protein included, egg, chickpea, and shrimp. The tortilla strips added nice texture. Will probably be my go to dish going forward. To cap off the meal my husband ordered the skillet bread pudding. I'm GF but wish I could have tasted it! It smells delicious:) husband's review....yummmm, maybe just a little more sauce We can walk here so on our way to being regulars...

Pleasantly surprised by this new neighbourhood restaurant! Loved the British pub look and the food was delicious. Definitely will be going back!

Stopped in tonight on a whim while running errands, and man, am I glad we did! This adorable, unassuming local joint lies just north of the 522 in downtown Bothell; if you blink, you might miss it. However, once inside, you're greeted not only by the warm surroundings, but the warmer hospitality offered by the staff. A family owned and operated business, this place is amazing. An eclectic mix of Irish/English pub and contemporary gastropub, they are doing everything right. The food is delicious and on-point, thanks to family recipes handed down through generations. And the craft cocktails are to die-for! Not seeing what libations you want on the bar menu? No worries! Just tell the capable bartenders your preference and they'll handily create a cocktail tailored just to your liking. Our 'tender Bailey (daughter of the owner) was uber-attentive, charismatic and chatty, but in a genuine way. Her Dad even came by and shared a drink and conversation with us! I had a fantastic Old Fashioned, and followed it up with a taster of some of their hand-crafted brews. I'm an admitted IPA snob, and I swear I couldn't pick a favorite from the five tasters that Bailey proffered, the beers were THAT good. I left it up to Bailey to choose, and she didn't steer me wrong. My wife stuck to cocktails, and every one was better than the last. Awesome grown-up date night, but they are also kid-friendly, in case you have your littles in tow. While we don't frequent Bothell much, this place just gave us a great excuse to do so in the future. Oh, and the entire place is spotless. The kitchen lacks doors so you can see clear back to where your meals are created; it looks like an emergency room, I swear you can eat off of the floors. If I could give more than five stars, I would. Bailey and her father told us that they have only been open a year; if that's the case, they have a bright future ahead of them. We can't wait to come back, and will certainly do so soon!

I love this place. My family and I tried it for the first time yesterday and were blown away. For context, we have a newborn and toddler, going out to eat can be a battle sometimes. The food was amazing!! a lot of restaurants claim to be family, friendly, but really do not have families in mind when they design the restaurant. This place was not like that. They have gender neutral bathrooms with a changing pad in the bathroom. They had stepstool in the bathroom for kids to wash their hands. My husband's chicken sandwich was huge and my burger was delicious. The staff told me they make the bread in house daily. My toddlers mac & cheese came with a side of fries which was great because I did not want to share. I would come back here again and I hope they stay in Bothell for a long time.

I've been to side hustle in Bothell several times now, and have been trying different food every time - never disappoints! Food is amazing and beer is the best in town. Service is always spot on, and just love the feel of the place (kid friendly as well!). Will be back for more !

I felt hustled.... Went here for lunch on Valentines day. Ordered the Coq au Vin, Gougères, and The Forager appetizers. Gougères - For $11 you get 4 - Gougères (each one about the size of a macaron cookie splint in half) A comically small portion for what they are charging. They were crunchy all the way through like a crouton, so I am guessing were baked from frozen and over cooked, or left over from yesterday and re-baked. They were definitely not made fresh as they had none of the chewiness and texture Choux pastry should have in the center... The Forager - also a comically small portion for what they are charging. For $17 you get a total of 4 small crostini's with about a tablespoon of sautéed mushrooms on each one. I actually laughed when this plate arrived. The mushroom were good, but the portion size was ridiculously small for the price. Coq au Vin - The stew was okay, and served with a slice of "scratch focaccia" bread. Not sure what "scratch" means exactly, but the bread we got was at least a day or two old, and was cold.... if you are going to serve old bread, at least spritz it with water and put it in the oven for a few minutes, or brush it with olive oil and grill it for a minute or two. It would be infinitely better. Very disappointing for a $30 lunch entrée.

Service is top notch every time. Great beer and wine and stellar happy hour menu. We had the sampler platter and bacon jalapeño poppers. While the sausage rolls were my favorite, everything was great!

I met a friend for lunch at Side Hustle and was surprised at just how good everything was. I ordered the "Motherclucker" fried chicken sandwich with a side of seasoned fries and spicy ranch dipping sauce. The fried chicken sandwich was excellent with great attention for detail in all aspects of the sandwich! The brioche bun was great, the broiled gouda added a nice touch, the slaw was excellent and the chicken was both seasoned and cooked perfectly! The fries were some of the best that I have had in a really long time and the spicy ranch dipping sauce was a great accompaniment. I will finish by saying that Antonio was fantastic, friendly, efficient with his service, and provided really great menu guidance! I will definitely be back! Keep it up Side Hustle, well executed food and friendly, professional service is hard to come by these days!

This place is my new main spot can't be happier every time I come here side hustle is got it going on that's for sure the owners got this place dialed in.

Five stars for sure !! Customer service is great, the vibes are super super nice in here , the food was spectacular!! Definitely recommend! Best new place in Bothell

First, let me say that service was fine. Interior was fine. Parking was easy for a Saturday night, and the place had no wait. Drinks were good. I really wanted to embrace the new European-inspired spot in town. We ordered an appetizer and it was brought out at the same time as our main entrees, which was about 10 minutes after we ordered. App was good, but seemed overpriced (but isn't everything these days?). The paella was served in cast iron, but not cooked in it. :-/ If we give it another shot, I'll order the curry or one of the sandwiches. Honestly, I hope they stay in business because it's not a bad place. I'm no expert, but maybe more marketing, happy hour or lunch specials, community engagement?

This is one of my favorite spots actually and they have a happy hour that can't be beat. My experience last night was, I am hoping, a one off. We were a fairly large group of 11. We were not drinking, but we all ordered food. Our server was somewhat inattentive once she recognized we weren't drinking. I decided to try something a bit different as I usually get sausage rolls, which are awesome! They were out of fries, which is pretty awful for a Friday night. I ended up ordering the Gambas Al Ajillo, which is a Spanish prawn dish. It was described as Prawns in a spicy sauce. What I got were tiny shrimp (the kind you get in a bag at the grocery store) no way would I call them prawns, swimming in a flavorless oil. I literally could not eat them, they were way over cooked and tasted rubbery and fishy. The sauce had absolutely no flavor, just oily. I placed my napkin on a basically full plate and when the server came back to the table she didn't say a word, just took my plate. She clearly saw that I hadn't eaten any of it and did I not even ask me about it. I paid the $26 amount, but I am disappointed that it wasn't addressed. Maybe I should have said something, but I was kind of surprised that the server said nothing. I will go back, as I hope this was just a fluke, but I would not order this dish again. I will stick with the delicious sausage rolls and hopefully fries if they have them.

We walked in and were promptly greeted by James who made us feel right at home. He recommended their Scottish Ale, and I was not disappointed! One of the best ales I have ever had! We then had the shrimp skillet appetizer. It was grilled shrimp in a spicy red sauce served with their homemade bread... soo good! We tried the Fish Wife Pie, Paella, and the Cobb-le stone salad (huge salad BTW) They were all pretty amazing! We are only in town for 3 nights, and will probably go back tonight! James and his staff have hospitality wired!

New local spot, unique menu, very tasty food. European inspired from the owner, James's. travels abroad. It's always cool to meet the owner and learn what inspired their restaurant. Good beer selection from their brewery and good cocktails too. Definitely worth checking out!

Food is fantastic. Drinks are great. The people are very nice and attentive. Families are welcome.

What a win for Bothell is Side Hustle! One of the most welcoming bars/restaurants I have ever been to. From the management, to bar tenders to servers and cooks everyone is awesome! Helpful, knowledgeable and friendly! Excellent delicious high quality food and great drink selections! This place is definitely worth a visit!! I have been there several times and it only gets better!

I think this place can get better but this first visit was subpar. The service was not great at all. I ordered a drink and it did not come till after our food. There wasn't even a sorry about forgetting it. Then they didn't even ask if we were ready for the check they just decided on their own it was time for us to go. It wasn't busy and it was still 45 minutes before closing. So not sure why they would ask before assuming. The food was good, I did order the sausage rolls to start which were delicious but overpriced, it was four but size pieces for 13 dollars...the salad was a nice size and the other entrees we ordered were good. I may give it one more try to see if service will be better.

Incredibly small portions for what you pay. Won't be coming back. Food was pretty meh too

What a cute place here with such a nice bar! The Crostini and Mushrooms were to die for! The pomegranate martini is a must. But our bartender Hannah was absolutely incredible! She took such good care of my husband and I. Such amazing customer service and attentiveness. We WILL be coming back!

Ordered sausage Rolls. As an English person I know exactly how these should taste. The pastry was not fluffy and flaky and there were 4 each and were 2" square. A sausage roll should be long and wide and served with Brown Sauce, not a maple bacon jam. We were asked if we were ok or needed anything else about 6 times in 20 minutes which was annoying. Beer was good but happy hour prices need to be better for food. Probably won't be back.

Just had dinner here tonight and cant recommend enough! I had the shepards pie and wife mac and cheese with pulled pork. Perfect winter comfort food and both were delicious. Need to remember to take photos next time! Service was excellent and beer was good. Will be going back!

Incredible food. Lots of drinks. Ambiance is like a speakeasy. Classy and up to date but still casual. Service is quick.

We love this place. Have tried multiple dishes including burger ( unusually yummy), salads, lots of great beers. Love the 425 Albariño wine. Servers are fun and engaging and very attentive. So happy this place came to our neighborhood. You need to try it, sit outside or inside. Can't wait to try more on the menu. My husband even joined the mug club. Cheers to Hannah and Ava last night.

Went here and the waitress would not split up the check. The food was not worth the price. Overall I would not come back.

Gave it a try. Sat in un-busy bar and was ignored for a very long time. Wife went a few months before on opening week and spoke to owner. Said he was nice. But they also ignored emails/messages about supporting a high school community event. It's fine not to lean into the community...but at least respond. Especially if you are looking to get established in the area.

The owner and the entire staff of this bar is awesome. They made the whole experience worthwhile. It's got a great vibe here and the food is amazing. We had a couple pitchers of beer, the pesto parlay sandwich and the mac and cheese. The pesto parlay was DELICIOUS! Beer was great!

I had the privilege of eating dinner here with my mentor and fellow mentee. I had the paella and shepherd's pie with them, and they were fantastic. Our waitress provided excellent service. The atmosphere itself was also really relaxing, and there is plenty of outside seating if you are interested in that. If you are into drinking, my mentor really enjoyed his beer and whiskey here. We also got to meet the owner, and he was very friendly and easy-going. Overall, this is a fantastic place to have dinner and drinks with your loved ones.

Downtown Bothell has a new Happy Place.. i was looking for a nice place with a nice selection of Bourbon / Whiskey. Side Hustle has a (kinda) British/European menu. I found the food to be very good and the atmosphere very welcoming. But the warm friendly service was what won me over. That and the great selection of spirits. I had the BBQ Ribs, which I though was excellent and a very filling portion. Then potato salad was not as good as Mom's, though. Sorry I am unable to upload the photos. This will be my 'go to' joint. And... I joined the Bottle Club thanks to James and Jill!

The ambiance, friendliness of the staff, beverage selection, and taste of the food were all 5 stars. 3 stars would be for the steep prices and carb heavy menu, a hodgepodge of "European" foods, like Shepherd's pie, Fish Pie, Flatbreads, Paella, Sausage rolls, Mac n Cheese, and sandwiches. Thankfully, the "Side Chick salad" is a very good lighter option. A year or two ago I thought local full service restaurants were really pushing the envelope of absurdity when offering a cheeseburger at $20. Now it's crossed the another threshold at $26. With the Ranch Drive-In right across the street I wonder if they get that many takers for a $26 burger.

great place we love it thanks for bring it to bothell cool food menu nice people we are going again this sunday

No Bothell folks don't want the strange expensive European menu food, & a special room where you have to pay for better furniture and a fireplace, I will not go to your bothell location, or your kirkland one. 1*

The food wasn't my jam at all. The bean salad was dry, had bits from the grill in it for some reason, and was 99% lettuce and chunks of tomato. The burgers were ok, the kids liked them, incredibly basic for the price. I was really excited about this spot, unfortunately service and food were all extremely bland.

Ambience is good. Nice location. Service was slow but to be expected for St valentines. Beer exceptional. The food...I'd say average at best, and too expensive for what is served. Not sure I'd give another shot at this point. A shame because I very much looked forward to it. But who knows
