    RockCreek in Fremont is a terrific spot for seafood. The Walrus & The Carpenter and Manolin, not far away, are outstanding as well.

    For cheap bahn mi, this list should help guide you.

    Ray’s Cafe for seafood, good beer, and one of the best views in the city. Make sure you ask for a seat outside.

    For some of the best food and one of the best tap lists in the city, go to The Shambles. Don’t walk, run to The Shambles.

    Is this different then rays boathouse? We ate there and there was a seal popping up outside the whole time. Food was incredible too.

    It's the same but Ray's Boathouse is the more formal restaurant on the bottom floor and Ray's Cafe is upstairs.

    If you can get out for lunch, Salumi near Pioneer Square has incredible sandwiches.

    You'll also be here for a bunch of Seattle Beer Week; you might want to check out the events list and see if anything looks interesting/can fit into your itinerary.

    Thanks for all the suggestions everyone. I'll definitely check those places out. As for beer week, I think I'll try to hit the sourfest at Brouwer's on Thursday night and then the event at Beveridge Place Pub on Friday. I'm hoping to get a pour of some Floodland somewhere during the week. Fingers are crossed.

    Really looking forward to Holy Mountain, Cloudburst, Reubens and Fremont as well.

    Cheers,

    Joe

    I'll be visiting the area for about a week in early June. @distantmantra 's post on page 1 gives me an excellent starting point, but if any BAs would like to meet up for a brew or two, let me know. :slight_smile:

    Also, read through the thread. Yeah, there's some chaff, but there's also a ton of wheat. You won't just have to eat grinders while you're here.

    Trip update. Urban Family Has not disappointed at all. Guava Dawn, Gamebreaker, Perpetuation, sacred arrow, Tin Can Telephone, Heel Turn, are all great to incredible. Hit up Old Stove Brewing (wrath of zorak,cannonball ipa, pomegranate sour, gose, tiger shark pale, fancy pants porter) for a solid flight and cool atmosphere. Ravenna Brewing while being kind of a hole in the wall had some solid hazy beers (Brewers Knuckles, delivium). Stopped at chucks 85th during ipa fest or whatever and had a few (reubens/block 15 intergalactic hop shop, Standard brewing H.E. Double hockey sticks). Grabbed a few cans and bottles to go.

    I really like that Guava Dawn (noticed they've changed up the labelling on it though from the previous releases). Ravenna flies under the radar but does some good stuff, and Old Stove definitely has the best views of any brewery in the city. Glad you enjoyed yourself!

    Just noticed that we need an edit to the original post. Dirty Couch Brewing, under New Seattle Breweries, now has a taproom. Kid friendly, too.

    edit: Looks like Cloudburst is going to be opening a second taproom a couple blocks behind Ballard Ave in Ballard. Old Rathburn Automative building. Open 7 days a week and kids welcome until 6pm.

    Does Super Deli Mart have a crowler machine or only do growlers?
