"Watershed is a great spot to do some Tuesday trivia, or pregame before a night skate at the Kraken Community Iceplex. And if you'd like to do that without alcohol, you're in really good hands. Sure, you could order a mocktail, like coconut cold brew spiked with Seedlip Spice. But the coolest part about Watershed is the fact that they list their entire selection of "spirits" on the menu, so you can get creative with your order—try something like a whiskey and cola with Lyre's American Malt, or a lemonade with Seedlip Garden." - aimee rizzo
"Usually, we pop into Watershed for some pizza before a movie at Thornton Place. But once a month, Betty Black hosts a drag brunch at this Northgate pub. Guest talent includes Maya Mem Saab, Londyn Bradshaw, Cordelia Specifically, and more." - aimee rizzo
"This North Seattle spot keeps an impressive list of beer and whiskey on hand every day of the week, but the best time to come is when Betty Black hosts her King of Hearts brunch once a month. The menu boasts brewery-focused renditions of typical favorites, like the Chunky Monkey Pancakes with chocolate stout in the batter, or Benedicts served on beer bread. Watershed specializes in bar pies during normal hours, so be sure to order a breakfast pie fold, a unique calzone/quesadilla hybrid stuffed with eggs, cheese, bacon, and other toppings." - Kurt Suchman
"This Northgate sports bar understands that all salads can be improved with pork fat. Case in point: their chicken bacon caesar. Here, you get practically an entire serving bowl of crisp romaine loaded with a dressing that's the exact middle of the spectrum between mayo-y and vinaigrette-y. It clings nicely to tart kalamata-studded focaccia croutons, herby roasted chicken, and plenty of bacon strewn around—and the extra dose of smoke from lardons is a special touch that not many caesars can brag about." - aimee rizzo
"If you’re coming home from a long day of in-office work that realistically could have been done remotely, coming up with a dinner plan may sound like a chore. Just head to Watershed, which is our favorite place in Northgate when we don’t really know what we want to eat. This pub’s menu is as vast as the Yakima Valley, including excellent New York-style pizza, and sandwiches pressed on phenomenal homemade beer bread (oh, hello, Seattle’s best grilled cheese)." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
