What People Are Saying About The Pike Pub and Brewery
The Owner
The Pike Pub and Brewery
Owner
Charles & Rose Ann Finkel are pioneers in making & marketing craft beers. They opened Pike in 1989 concentrating on beers of exceptional quality. Pike's beers are distributed, on draft & in bottle, in pubs, restaurants & stores in the NW. The Pike Pub is the showcase for the brewing company. Each ale - Naughty Nellie, Pike Pale, IPA, Kilt Lifter, Tandem, Monk's Uncle, & XXXXX Stout, is served properly in a working brewery. Local, seasonal, delicious pub fare includes fresh mussels & clams, hand crafted bratwurst w/Chef Gary's WA State apple sauerkraut, artisan cheese, smoked salmon, local wines, beer to go, & gifts. Pike received the 2006 Where Magazine, "Best local bar and pub". Displayed on 5 levels is a museum telling the story of beer from its discovery; to the pleasure of people who hunted & gathered for a living; to the modern micro brew mania that started right hear in Seattle.

The Scene
The Pike puts tradition on display with brewing equipment that winds through the open-air space and a Museum Brewery that highlights the history of beer. Patrons can sample distinctive Northwestern ales such as the scotch kilt lifter, the creamy porter and the roasted stout. The bar also offers several guest drafts and carries an impressive range of bottled beers. When it comes to food, the Pike sticks to tried and true pub grub, with many offerings made fresh from Pike Market ingredients.

We went on a busy Saturday afternoon. After waiting 15 minutes to be seated, we were unfortunately served poor quality food to our child. My son is 5 years old. He ate the chicken tenders and french fries. Within an hour he was sick. After a doctor's appointment, we were told he had bacterial f.p. from eating here. Poor business to serve bad food to kids! Will not be return customers.

Took a group of friends visiting from D.C. Thought this would be a great way to show them Seattle. The automatic gratuity for a 'large group' should have tipped us off because we were only 8 people. 4 of which were little kids. Once ordering food, it was VERY hard to get our waitress to bring anything extra (like a refill of water while choking on spicey dinner). The food was about a 3 star, out of 10. Most of our dishes were way over priced, and 2 dishes came out less then satisfactory. Salmon was dry, rice was under-cooked, fries were soggy. Not to mention....how does a kid-sized mac n' cheese cost $14.95? The highlight? Mini Doughnuts afterwards. They are at the top of the stairs on the street.

Great place for appetizers, a beer, and to watch a game. They have a lot TV's in the bar so you can always watch your favorite game. They brew their own beer I would definitely recommend trying their sampler of beer!
