Get a Paper Planes + Cheese Curds. One of my favorite cocktails in all of Seattle! This is a great spot to enjoy a cocktail and appetizer before going out or to treat yourself to a nightcap!

Fantastic modern Korean food with a kick-ass bar selections and some cocktails to match. Also a good outdoor setup for the shutdown.

been here a few times. Hosting a party in the back room is fantastic! I recently went for brunch and found the service very grumpy, but I think it's also a hard shift. Probably won't go back.

The menu is diverse and tight. BLT with fried egg. Maple waffle chicken slider sandwich. Top 5 bar in Seattle. So I'm told.

Really great service. The happy hour was nicely priced and the food was phenomenal. We had the Mac n cheese, Swedish meatballs and the specialty fries. Go here!

Jeshua's the man. Burger is solid as are all the drinks. Ask for the off menu "Hauschka Sour" named after Seahawks kicker Steven Hauschka.

Try the Lox Sammy - closed face, on an English muffin as opposed to open faced bagel. And a good amount of Lox! #alldatlox

The shuffleboard in the back is one of the shortest tables ever. It even has bumpers. Lay off the Sun-Glo, there is plenty o' grain on that piece.

Split a lot of small plates amongst friends - the truffle fries, pigs in a blanket, and devils on horseback shouldn't be missed.

Great food and drinks. The tomato bisque is rich and spicy. Space can be loud at times.

Really good grilled cheese! The cocktails were also great.

Ask the hipster-y bartender for a custom concoction. You'll probably get something with a foamy egg white on top.

When it’s busy, drinks take forever! Food is good, but limited options, mostly heavy dishes. Go here for a drink and snack before eating somewhere better in Ballard.

The maple chicken n waffles with apple coleslaw sliders was pretty good. The Ramos Gin Fizz was a bit lacking though.

Pretty delicious brunch. Really appreciate the housemade ketchup, sausage and the very yummy hashbrowns!

Stopped in for a late night drink & the server was short with us and not interested in serving us...so we left. I have a bad tastes in my mouth for The Gerald. Don't think I'll be back anytime soon.

Brussel sprouts, Burger, house made chips, eggs benedict, biscuits and gravy

Noisy techno music not really fitting the bar atmosphere. OK service. Great burger. $55 for 2 entrees, 1 drink, and a tip. Bit expensive.

Drapper Point is perfectly balanced cocktail. Sit at the Bar.

Great happy hour! The dates are awesome.

Excellent brunch. The potatoes boulangere were perfection.

Ok...Bahama Mama is by far the most delicious drink I have ever tasted....sans the girly look and name....

Trust in your bartender. They'll know what to make for you!

Their Bloody Mary tastes like roasted tomatoes. Delicious.

Get the Moscow Mule. Then, treat yourself to some mac 'n cheese

Truffle popcorn is delicious!

Appetizers + meatloaf + creme brulee = win!

It's very Mad Men in here, and I like it!

Expensive drinks and no sound for football games...
