The Barking Dog Alehouse

"Located on a quiet residential Phinney Ridge block, this neighborhood pub that doubles as a sports bar serves a surprisingly excellent brunch catered to families and those who don’t like to go anywhere without their dog. You can hang out on the long patio for a leisurely meal of satisfying options like salmon belly benedicts that have a touch of smoke. The prices are very un-Seattle-like, particularly the $8 Bloody Marys. Or you can take the party inside for a pint to catch some of the game at tables just tall enough to keep prying paws out of reach. Either way, expect lots of attention from the staff that genuinely gets a kick out of booping snoots." - aimee rizzo, gabe guarente
