The Greenwood Neighborhood - Seattle, WA 98117

Alehouses, Bars & Pubs 

Welcome to 74th Street Ale House

Greenwood's neighborhood ale house serving splendid food and fine ales since 1991.

NakedCityBrewing.com

Naked City is a brewery and taphouse providing a small selection of distinctive house brewed beers alongside some of the finest local and regional craft beers available in the Seattle area.

Prost! A German style neighborhood tavern.

One of the few places in Seattle with this many German beers on tap, and many beers exclusive to the establishment. A big Bavarian-style soft pretzel with spicy mustard makes you thirsty for more beer, while the tender curried bockwurst or bratwurst and tangy sauerkraut with caraway seeds satisfies the post-beer munchies.

How's Rudolph Taste?- about the Kort Haus

But the Kort Haus has a few quirks that'll make the average Seattleite feel like a fish out of water. For one, there are two arcade games devoted to buck hunting, with toy rifles mounted to the consoles, a predilection said to be native to southern Illinois (having lived back that way for awhile, I can vouch for the accuracy of this statement). Then there's the dry-erase board situated above one of the arcade games; on it are the names of a dozen or so wild animals: alligator, antelope, black bear, buffalo, spicy buffalo, camel, caribou, elk, spicy elk, kangaroo, llama, ostrich, reindeer, venison, wild boar, and yak (also listed are jackalope, unicorn, and elf, obviously the handiwork of a regular). This peculiar list comprises Ed's vast offering of exotic burgers.
