The Greenlake Bar and Grill

The Greenlake Bar and grill does not have Garden burgers on the menu, but will make them if you ask. Comes with a good pile of 1/4″ thin fries. The beer menu is somewhat sparse, 5 taps including Guiness. There is a full bar as well.

I was impressed by the speed which we got our food here, roughly 5 minutes from the time we ordered, faster than I’m used to. The service, however, was somewhat odd. There was confusion between the bartender and the waitress over a blown keg, including getting served the “Ass end” (her words) of the keg, the having the beer taken away ane replaced. The oddness continued from there.

The location is good, and it does have a west facing sidewalk section for those times when you need to eat in the sun.

The Belltown Pub and Grill

Gardenburgers aren’t on the menu, but they are availiable if you ask (and tell them how you want them done !?!). They charge $1 to sub in a garden burger, which makes the whole sandwich come to a pricey $9, including chips. Those would be round cold chips, as somewhow this pub doesn’t serve fries.

Beer selection is good, about what you’d expect from a pub in Seattle.

The Bluestar Cafe

Visited when the Park Pub was undergoing renovations.

There is one gardenburger on the menu, along with a portabello mushroom sandwich. Lots of good fries, hot and crispy 3/8″ or so thick. I wasn’t entirely sold on the garden burger, but the beer and fries make up for it.

Beers were served in proper imperial pint glasses, which is quite rare in this city.

Somewhat expensive (iirc) for the burger, Beer is reasonable.

The Park Pub

Now under new management. The previous management had 8 styles of burger, all of which could be replaced with a garden burger. Now there’s just a garden burger along with the other 2 burgers on the menu.

They have reasonably good fries, 3/8″ thick, a little greasy but nice and hot. Mustard, mayo and Vinegar are provided.

Beer selection is good but tends towards IPAs for some reason. There’s one rotating nitro tap.

$6 for Garden burger & fries, $3.50 for a beer.

Jackhammers to the left…

Jackhammers to the left of me, Construction to the right.

They’re breaking apart the Broadway Market Cinemas with something big. Big enough that my monitor is shaking. And the library across the street is still coming along. At least they’re not taking out the concrete deck outside my window.

But all the same, I think I’m leaving before I get a headache.

The Wumpus Masters

A few pictures from Saturdays Great Seattle Wumpus hunt are up.
4 teams chased clues all over Seattle, or at least the near the waterfront portions of Seattle. Thanks to Dan and Lisa for putting this whole thing together. Thanks to the weather for cooperating.
