Die Bierstube

I have been here once and I hope to come more often as I work in the neighborhood! They have a nice selection of drinks and food and the atmosphere is nice. Came here with coworkers, and we don’t get to spend time with each other outside of a work setting too much. The music was loud and it was a bit busy, we were a bit party and I genuinely couldn’t hear my coworkers across the table. One of the bartenders, person with red hair, came extremely aggressive, yelling at us to quiet down; without asking previously with any respect. If they came earlier and were respectful; that would have been very understandable and no issue at all! But they were hostile and completely ruined our evening. I politely asked if they could turn down the music, as I still couldn’t hear the rest of my party, and they responded VERY rudely with “I have to turn up the music because you guys were so loud”. Even the other people in the bar were raising eyebrows due to how hostile they were. I would absolutely never want to interact with this person again, as they seem to take out their rage on customers…when they work in customer service… However, Skye is an an excellent server and bartender! Skye was very nice, attentive, and friendly. Hope the other employees are as great as Skye when I return! But if the employee is there with red hair make sure you are extra quiet!! Edit: they didn’t seem too bothered when the table next to us was yelling while chugging a beer 🤔

We loved Die Bierstube and visited several times during our weeks long trip to Seattle. It was close to the U-District, the Link (line 1), groceries, and other points of interest. The staff were friendly and welcoming - the kind of pub that treats you like a “regular” after you show up a second time. They pour a perfect Bitburger Pils and Gaffel Kölsch - remarkable head, and in regulation glassware! We had a nice curry wurst lunch and brought friends around as well.
