I come here to watch (and be depressed by) Seahawks games! There is a bartender who is usually there, and she is so sweet. I wish I knew her name! But she gives the best service. The food is also actually really good. The place itself is also quite nice, not dive-y or anything like that. It's a great spot!

Good food, even better bourbon selection. I always knew if this bar’s existance. But I didn’t know they offered 1/2 price bourbons on Tuesdays. So, I just had to see what they had to offer. And we’re not talking about the cheap brands of bourbon they got half price, but ALL kinds of bourbon whiskey. They even have bourbon flights (unfortunately not part of the special). But for me, someone new to the whiskey scene, it’s a great place to learn what you may or may not like (personally, I liked everything I tried). And their food it really good quality food. Whatever I order, I clean the plate. It’s definitely one of the best bars for the brown spirits.

Extremely friendly service and speedy orders and food delivery. There's often a very fine line between bothering the people eating and being nowhere to be seen as a waiter. This place perfectly rode that line for wonderful customer experience. The drinks were served in beautiful containers and glasses and the food was delicious.

Such great food and drinks. I ordered the barbacoa bowl with shrimp Instead of beef and extra guac. The salsa and guac are so yummy and the shrimp was perfectly cooked(and actually had flavor unlike most places). The rice is zesty and the perfect foundation for this dish. The cocktails were so delicious and the servers/ bartenders were incredibly friendly. We can’t wait to come back!

This bar rocks. As a Seahawks fan living in Chicago, I couldn’t ask for a better place to watch their games with my friends. Our server was very kind and the crowd was a lot of fun to be around. The game day specials on miller lights and Seattle ciders were a great deal and we loved their fries! The only thing disappointing about the day was the mango habanero wings. As a person who orders wings at just about every bar I go to, I’d say this was near the bottom of my list. No flavor and the breading/batter? on the wings was soggy and drizzled over with a sweet sauce without much spice. The Meat was flavorful, so I’ll have to give them one more shot with their classic Buffalo. All-in-all Brownstone is a great bar and I’d recommend it to anyone, especially Hawks fans!

This place is amazing without specific recognition, but Adam is deserving of the individual respect. He truly made the Brownstone somewhere I want to come back to, and I’ll see y’all again soon!

Have been watching the Seahawks here for seven years now. It gets better and better every year! Crew is solid and the food is as step above you’re average bar fare.
