Food was AMAZING! Got GF pizza. However, service was mediocre at best. Asked for a booth, and were told we would have to wait for a booth even with open tables available. We were fine with waiting but when our buzzer went off, got a table. We were apathetic about it at that point since we had already waited and were hungry. We sat for probably 10 minutes before a server came to us. We couldnt flag one down. The guy that ended up serving us had a section on the other side of the restaurant and made excuses for the server that was supposed to have us. He apologized about the wait/experience each time he came to the table but never offered to comp out appaletizer or give us a gift card or anything. It just got worse...my water was empty for 5+ minutes before it was refilled and we had finished eating and our table had been bussed before they even brought the check. So....AWESOME food but the entire experience rubbed my husband and me the wrong way. We were prepared to drink and stay for dessert but booked out ASAP as it was.

This place survives because tourists dont know better. I came here for dinner with some friends. The ambience is decent; its a spacious restaurant thats not too loud. Its dim but more relaxing than a bar. Their selection of healthy vegetarian dishes was pretty small (most is traditional pub comfort food). I got the Harlots Harvest, a playfully-named dish as unpleasant as it sounds. Wow, was it disgusting. Its supposed to be a sort of pizza, but ended up a nauseating mix of vegetables. Im not so sure that cranberry, pesto, mozzarella, squash, and garlic belong together. The cranberry puree in particular struck a bizarre note, what with its sweetness overwhelming the blandness of the vegetables and cheese. I ate half and left the rest. By that time it had coagulated to an unpleasant texture and appearance. I paid $15 for this garbage. They shouldnt serve food.

We went to Seattle looking for good food and great beer and we found it. We started off with a pint of Naughty Nellie, then moved on to a flight to sample all their beers. The only one we did not get to try was their Tandem, much to my disappointment, because I particularly like Belgian-style beers. The real win here, though, was the food. My wife had the Spicy Wild Salmon and she said it was the best fish dish she had ever eaten, by far! I HATE fish, and I thought it tasted like dessert. Nick, our waiter, deserves special mention, for his guidance, advice, humor, hospitality, and excellent service. Thanks, Nick! We will definitely go out of our way to return to the Pike Pub when we go back to Seattle. It was the pinnacle of our stay in Seattle, one we would be happy to repeat. Now if we could just find Pike beers in Kansas!

I came to this place looking for some good seafood without a lot of pretense. I will give them credit for friendly service and pretty fair prices (my meal was $35 for shrimp, an appetizer and a beer). The food was a major bummer. my shrimp were way over cooked, poorly seasoned and generally uninspired. The two little pieces of Broccoli were delicious and the rice "pilaf" seems to have been from yesterday. it was flavorless, under cooked and boring. My garlic shrimp seem to be only garlic and shrimp I love garlic, but this was just boring. Its sad to be so close to the ocean and having what must have been frozen and/or precooked and then reheated food. My fellow diners had similar experiences, the food wasnt horrid, it was just completely boring and flavorless.

Visited from out of town and went to watch the Washington cs Oregon game (last game at the stadium) and the bartender wouldn't turn the game to the UW game because ONE table wanted to watch the Alabama vs LSU game!!! I'm sorry this is SEATTLE and you are a PUB!!! Support your local athletics!!!!! I live in NC and can't ever watch any UW games.. About 10 people left this place because he wouldn't change the game!!! BEWARE-don't go here to watch any lOcal sports games!!! Not good customer service!! Another table in this area made a comment about the game I wanted to watch and the bartender tld me to be quiet! Every tv in this area showed the game accept for the biggest tv!!! Don't waste your time!!

I found this pub by mistake as I was walking along 1st Avenue, and Im glad I did. The decor here is great. They have everything from bikes hanging from the ceiling to posters and coasters hanging on the walls. The beer here is great as well and its all or mostly local beer. Only thing I didnt like was that the food was much too pricey, but I would come back for the beer, and maybe the cheapest appetizer. However, I feel that a true pub also needs or should have a few inexpensive food items to munch on. My phone also stopped working while I was here and one staff was nice enough to help me locate a nearby ATT store and another staff was also nice enough to let me make a call from their phone. Cheers!

I went here with my boyfriend last month. The most memorable points were: Poor quality food - the "air fried fish and chips" (it was called something like that) was pretty much pre-breaded, frozen fish that they re-heated. Not bad if you got it as a frozen dinner, but at a restaurant is just terrible. I remember thinking that it was rather expensive too ($13?). The only good thing is that I dont believe all of their dishes are that gross - I had a bite of my boyfriends sandwich and that was at least alright. The waitress was incredibly rude and snotty as well despite my initial good mood. The beer was poor quality as well - I did not like either or the two that I tasted.

We stopped by for happy hour which was super busy, but it was a short wait at the bar. We had a tasting tray each (with 6 x 4oz samples) which was great and a couple of appetizers. The food was standard pub grub, but the beer is definitely the star of the show here. This place has a European-pub style vibe and the walls are covered with beer-o-bilia. We joined one of the free 6.30 tours (they run Wednesday - Saturday) and had a fascinating insight into all things beer and the brewing process. Santino our guide was so personable, not to mention entertaining. Just remember to book ahead for the tour, wear closed in shoes and bonus, you can take your beer on tour too!

This was an awful visit the host was too concerned with speaking to co workers about unrelated issues to find my self and my family seating. Customer service was not there re-fills took forever and at times our server made us feel like we were a burden on them. The beer was not very good at all. The food wasnt bad but nothing extraordinary, it took almost 45minutes to come out. I spoke with a tall lengthy man who identified himself as a manager he was also very rude. If I could rate this place a zero I would I was beyond dissapointed and amazed at how little the staff cared about guest. I would not recommend this establishment to anyone and I will not be returning.

The service was great, but the food wasnt anything special. We ordered the nachos, a pretzel with a special mustard sauce and the BBQ pulled pork sandwich with standard fries and kimchi cole slaw. The nachos were the only best part but there was barely any chicken on it, the pretzel took forever to be given to us and the mustard was a bit more of a dare devil sauce than anything you can try to work with. The pork sandwich was too heavy with the sugary BBQ sauce and disappointed us. The kimchi cole slaw was old and there were pieces of rotten cabbage in it. Dont waste your time and money for food and parking unless youre just there for the beer.
