Awesome! Awesome! Great Awesome! Great
I really enjoy the ruby. It has a smooth, berry-like taste that is very refreshing. The chicken wings are the best I have ever had. I have been told they use baby chicken legs...so they have a lot of meat, and are a filling drunk munchie. The servers/bartenders are fun and engaging. I esspecially like the hot guy that wears tight pants! Good time.

I don't really like Dad Watsons. The atmosphere is just off a bit for a seattle brewpub.

Awesome! Awesome! Great Great Awesome!
I've had VERY solid experiences there (to be honest, I'm guessing the readers who thought the beer was lousy must LOVE some cheap Rainier!). Their Ruby is more personal fav; top 5 beer in Seattle for sure! A must check out; atmosphere great, spacies, great drunk food, and service most of the time is solid (few exceptions). Enjoy! Crazy C

Great Great N/A Good Good
The same McMinamin's beer as 6 Arms but a much more sedate verstion--atmosphere is much more sedate. In my notes I wrote "cavernouse and without atmosphere." I tried the Fat Rat Porter and it was not very good. Celebration ale was excellent--again!

Great Great Great So So So So
The general McMenneman's quality is there; but I don't go there much anymore. Two reasons:

- Had a couple of instances where the service was spotty, and once downright rude. - I'm a non-smoker, and Dad Watson's policy isn't effective -- smoking is allowed in the bar area, where it drifts over to the non-smoking area. Obviously, not an issue if you're a smoker, but it's significant enough that I take my business elsewhere these days.

Great brews and solid food selection. I only wish they didn't allow smoking. Deck is nice. Booths are huge and great for groups.
