Whenever the wife and I have a date night, we usually (OK, always) head here. Their custom brews are excellent, and their food is wonderful--much of it alder-smoked (awesome flavor!). The calamari appetizer is the best. Tip: Costco has off-season gift cards at a discount (like $100 worth of cards for $75 or something like that--only available in the winter so tourists don't get them). Thankfully our friends and family know our love of the place and gift cards for the holidays are par for course (or else we'd go broke eating there!) NOTE: The gift cards are good for Brewhouse, or their sister restaurant (located in the same building) Orsos which is a heavy Italian restaurant, so this may increase their supposed value for some folks).

Growlers are available (sealed 64oz to go brews) and are very reasonably priced. Like a bit above 10 bucks for your first purchase (including the growler itself) and less than ten bucks to refill it (depends on if it's a specialty beer or not, but both are under 10). This includes their root beer and other non-alcy brews.

They have a full bar, though at one time they didn't have a blender--not sure if this is still the case (it may have just been broken at the time...?)

The prices are on the higher side, but the food is usually wonderful. "Medium Rare" seems to take on a different meaning each time I'm there, though (for my Prime Rib, anyway). Dinner for two including drinks, appetizer, and desert WILL exceed $100.

The atmosphere is great and you won't feel out of place in either a suit or a pair of Carhart overalls. Pure Alaskan.

Downtown parking can be a drag (either difficult or pricey). It doesn't change our opinion, though. Love it! If we have tickets to a show at the PAC, then the night isn't complete without dinner here beforehand!

My menu: Calamari, cask-aged IPA, Prime Rib, chocolate-peanut butter pie.
