Great 2 pretzels and all the sauces! Good rotating beer selection from the northwest and beyond. Open, family-style seating with bar games and TVs.

Had a smoked ham sandwich special with pickles and BBQ - one of the best sandwiches I've had in a long time. Good beer menu, fries and curds were also good (almost WI quality curds😊)

This is a Tom Douglas joint (local chef) and one of our go-to spots. The pretzels and dips are tasty, and they have a large outdoor patio for nice days.

The brick oven pretzel has been recommended by the Chewsy community, Seattle Weekly, The Seattle Times and Seattle magazine. Intrigued? Click through to read their reviews: http://chewsy.com/r/a/vNQQs

The outdoor patio is great, but if you prefer to be inside, there’s a huge skylight over the bar that fills the dining room with sunlight. There are plenty of great beers on tap.- © 2013 BuzzFeed, Inc

I go here for lunch and just get the pretzel. They come out pretty fast, so it's convenient to just stop here quickly. Most of the other items on the menu take much longer, so plan more time.

good beer and good food. brunch or happy hour, you really can't go wrong.

My favorite place for drinks in South Lake Union. Plenty of free parking, reasonably priced drinks for premium micros, and they got darts!

Sat by the dart boards in the back corner. Live listening to the revelry and cheers surrounding the shuffleboards. Burger was delish and get the Silver City Rootbeer if you are DD!! Yummy!

Yeehaw! Seattle has a new Texas-style bar in "Allentown" or South Lake Union corridor. Saloon-themed bar beckons near new tech offices. Gluten-free options limited to salads, slaw and Redbridge beer. Read more

The ham and cheese on pretzel bread is amazing! Fries are $3.50 extra and they don't offer free refills on soft drinks!
Kirk DangerSeptember 14, 2014
The burgers are king don't forget to sprinkle you're fries with unicorn garlic. And the service is impeccable. Coming back for sure.

Although you definitely get your money's worth with extras on the burgers, look out-- whether the black bean or beef patty, they fall apart in your hands.
Kirk RappeMarch 5, 2015
The deep fried cheese curds are pretty darn close to those you find in Wisconsin. Authentic batter-fried and all!
ChewsySeptember 10, 2013
Try the Brick Over Pretzel, it's recommended by the Seattle Times, Seattle Weekly and Seattle Magazine. Can't go wrong! Read more

Keep it simple with Beer & Fresh pretzels ... If you order a burger, remember to add the trimmings - they are not included by default :)
Chris CamargoJuly 13, 2015
An excellent burger. Great for lunch, and not too much food. Very tidy, very tasty.

The breakfast sandwich with sausage on a pretzel bun!

Pretzel with peanut butter & bacon is always the right answer! Awesome beer selection too-when in doubt go with the bravehorse ale!

Delicious ham and cheese and great beer selection. It's basically an extension of the amazon offices

Burger was great and the fried cheese curds were delish.
Chris CaloMarch 26, 2012
The house-cured smoked ham is the best pork sandwich I've had in a long time. The pretzel bun really makes it.
AshleyOctober 27, 2013
Pretzels are great, but be prepared to share a table with people. Sat by two girls that said "like" waaaayyyy too much.
Amanda PanoshOctober 27, 2014
Get the corn dogs! The fries are also absolutely fantastic (and the orders are huge)!

Good selection of local beers. Darts and shuffleboard. Also, fresh pretzels!

Weeknights after the work shift this place is slammed with Amazoners. It's surprisingly not packed on my weekends. Also, put the low-carb diet on hold for a night and have a pretzel already.

foodhipster206.com's favorite spot in Seattle for a burger. Beef chunk, applewood smoked bacon all on a brioche bun.
Kaitlin MartineauApril 3, 2016
I had their quinoa scramble. Don't get it if you're not going to have the bacon. It needs to have the bacon
Steph BenecchiMay 19, 2013
The bacon, onion and cheddar breakfast scramble on the kegs and eggs menu is delicious.
SNovember 12, 2014
Good beer selection, tasty pretzels. Slightly overpriced. Come back for the weekend brunch.
Elise F.March 16, 2013
Ask for your burger on one of their made in house pretzel buns. Delicious!

Favorite Tom Douglas restaurant outside of Lola's patio in the summertime. The burgers are perhaps the second-best in Seattle.
Eileen LambertApril 5, 2012
1st time here -Sun early eve - lively crowd. Fried Chicken dinner underwhelmed. Gravy on mashed taters = heavy roll = meh, chicken really salty (pickle batter) -crowd = fun. (1 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Shuffle board is a must! Try an IPA and enjoy the music.

Try the seared albacore tuna burger with some avocado on it. Also, if you didn't know: 24 taps and shuffleboard!

If you're international, they INSIST on a passport. Anyone else gets carded (even those with grey professor hair). Good otherwise.

Always check the menu for the "Burger of the Month" - generally a solid local choice.
Annie LeeJune 11, 2011
Gets really packed on Friday afternoon with happy hour-ers. If at capacity, they will not let people in unless more people leave. Avoid busy times and enjoy amazing burgers!

If you plan on staying a while or watching a game get the hams in a can. Save yourself a paycheck.
N LSeptember 8, 2013
Open space all the way with lots of exposed wood and sport fans.
Chuck CaskerMarch 24, 2012
Brave Horse is one of my favorites. Check out all the craft LOCAL beers. Try the pretzels!
Chris GemmillMay 17, 2011
Vegetarian? Get the black bean & green chile burger!! Not vegetarian? Get the black bean & green chile burger!!

The spiced rubbed grilled turkey burger is awesome, the spicy Dijon mustard is bomb.com!

Get the house-cured smoked ham sandwich, add a egg to it. Soooo good!
elizabeth ScottOctober 13, 2011
Get the burger, any burger. Wash it down with a beer, any beer. You're welcome.
Katie BrownAugust 15, 2012
The soft pretzels are baked fresh in house, and delicious enough to live off of!
