I had some good halibut and chips there once. Maybe your dog is sick. I wouldn't call it a watering hole exactly though as their selection of drinks is pretty bare bones and they don't have any taps.
I've been to the feedback lounge one time and was treated like "we don't want your type in here", I guess I'm not hip enough? Fine by me, I'm not really a mixed drinks person anyway, and I'm definitely not a wait two hours for one beer and some overpriced mac and cheese person.
I love the beveridge place but their dogs policy is pretty sorry. It's a beautiful pub and they have the best selection of beer anywhere, but the "service dog" lipservice is insulting and the fact that they don't actually do anything about rowdy dogs is kind of off putting. I was sitting at the bar the other night and two women, each in possession of an enormous wooly looking dog, were sitting by the front door. The enormous dogs were barking, loudly, at every single thing- each other, other dogs in the bar, people, beer, cars outside, everything. The bartenders kept shouting "No Barking" from the bar, the women ignored them, the dogs didn't speak English. Eventually one of the bartenders asked them to go outside, but the dogowners didn't like that suggestion so they ignored it too. The barking continued til I left. These were typical "nice"-looking women, not young or thuggish types, just disruptively self entitled.
I like to go to elliot bay brewing company when I've got guests with kids in tow. I've been refused service as early as 9 pm however, with no other explanation than "kitchen's closed and I called last call ten minutes ago". Last call at 8:50? Ok good luck with that, and the beer is at the bottom rung with regards to seattle area micros anyway.
I like prost (when it's not crowded) because it's near the house, they serve food til pretty late, have tasty beer, and they don't dick with you.
