This place rules. Great beer, mellow staff and patrons, a couple tvs, a shuffleboard table, a few dark booths in the back. Prime Time Pale Ale is my #1beer.
Pros: beer, food, staff
Cons: It closes at night

Nice and simple bar. You order yourself and bring your own drinks and food to the table, like in bars in Europe. If you're eating, i would recommend the pizza which is excellent. We also tried the chilli but it was avarage at best and came with some strange garlic bread. Better to just focus on the pizza... The beers are good too and the atmosphere is nice.
Pros: Great pizza, good beer.
Cons: other foods are so-so

I'm a regular at Big Time and whoowee, lemme tell ya, the food is terrific! I've tried most of their sandwiches and every one has been a pleaser. I recommend getting the special--especially if it's the Teriyaki Chicken. The beer is all full-flavored, though most of them are IPAs lately. The best part of all (this is the college student's budget speaking here) is that you can get a ton and a half of food for under ten bucks. A half sandwich typically will only run you about 5-6. A combo of full sandwich, cup chili/soup, chips, corn bread or garlic bread, and a beer will float maybe just a couple over the ten dollar mark with tax. For a meal on the Ave., Big Time can't be beat!

I love Bigtime!!! I drive from Tacoma just to grab a couple of beers on the weekends. The staff is great and highly knowledgeable. I just wish they'd send their beer to T-Town....
Pros: Great Beer, Great Service, Good food
Cons: 1 hour street parking

All the beer is great and brewed on premesis. If you go during the day, you can even get a tour of the brewery. The food is decently priced, but nothing outstanding. The pizza is inconsistant, but when it is good, it's some of the best pizza in Seattle. A great place to go with a big group of people, or just by yourself.
Pros: great beer, great service, great staff

Go for the beer, have the food if you're really hungry. It's not bad, just average at best. Very plain. Pizza can be good, depending on how long they've had the dough sitting out. It's hit or miss.
Pros: Great beer, Shuffleboard table
Cons: Average food, No vodka

The Big Time is my new place...the pizza is quite tasty, and cheap as well! The beer is at a wonderful price ($2.75 - $3.25 per pint), and is excellent. Some are better than others, but it is hard to beat their Coal Creek Porter, Big Time Pale, SnowMelt Pale on Nitro and Decade IPA. The people are friendly, free shuffleboard is always a plus, and the music on Tuesday nights (String Cheese Incident - Live Shows) is the coolest out of any Seattle bars. Cheers to the Big Time.
Pros: Inexpensive, Cheap Eats and Drinks, Good Music
Cons: Occasional Frat Boys, Dark Smoking Area

The pizza at the Big Time Brewery is gross! They don't have that many toppings, and the crust is rubbery.
Pros: not very crowded;, sandwiches are good, staff is friendly
Cons: beer is okay
