Good Good Lousy So So So So
One word – DISAPPOINTING. Our first attempt to visit Pyramid occurred on Thursday evening, unfortunately Pyramid was booked for a private party; the staff apologized and asked us to return the following day. NO PROBLEM. We then went to the Mariners/Yankees game and again tried to visit Pyramid, unfortunately for us, Pyramid called last call shortly after the game was over at 9:30! So we tried a third time, and this time went before the game. The place was mobbed but we only waited about 15 minutes. Our third attempt resulted in several dissatisfied customers. We were seated adjacent to the main entrance; unfortunately someone spilled beer on the floor above and it dripped on us and our table (through the floor above) shortly after being seated. We then ordered appetizer, including chicken wings and nachos, which arrived COLD. All the silverware which was neatly wrapped in clean napkins was caked with food. Oh, and thee beer we had in the plastic cups, wasn’t bad. Do yourself a favor, go somewhere else… Pike, Elysian, McMenamins, Hales…

While on business in Seattle I checked out Pyramid because I had heard of them before out east. Never really been impressed with their beers, so didnt have much expectations coming in. Was pleasantly surprised with the Snow Cap (seasonal winter) and a barleywine on tap (fairly rare) but that was about it. The rest of the beers are slightly above average and Im still in disbelief that their Hefe won gold at the GABF. The judges must have been paid off, their hefe is average at best. Food was solid, calimari and sausage platter was decent. Service wasnt a problem, but was sitting at the bar. All in all, Pike's has better beer quality from what Ive seen.

Great Awesome! Great Awesome! Awesome!
In all my beer travels, I have to say that I had one of my best experiences here. Service, food, and beer were excellent. I arrived for lunch and the place was hopping--but service did not suffer. I did set at the bar, which could have made a difference but I was very pleased with everything. The tour was fun too. This place is a must for a pub crawl in Seattle. I'd guess you'd want to avoid ball game nights but I didn't have that problem when I was there. Be sure to try the espresso stout and the apricot. The apricot we can occassionally find out here in western NY but I've not seen the stout..maybe they don't bottle. For the entire beer experience (food, beer, tour, collectables) Pyramid is as fun, if not better than Redhook was while they were in Fremont.

Went there before a Mariners game- right across the street from the Park. Place was mobbed, service understandably slow. They had an outside beer garden set up for speedier service.Pilsner and Curve Ball were OK. Food( fish & chips) was good.Not real pricey ($4 pints). Large selection of their microbrews.

Great Great So So Lousy Good
Oh how I miss the days when I could stop by Kalama on my way to Portland and sample the great beers from the original founders of this brand. The original place was in downtown Kalama and moved around 1987 to the Port next to the Columbia. The beer is as great today as it was then. But the service and food that goes with it has become overly commercialized and slow at best. But the beer...Ahh! The Apricot Ale with only a hint of fruit meshed with the right malt and hops almost makes it worthwhile. Come to think of it I'll by the bottles and drink it at home rather than fight the crowds or the service.

I agree the service is awful, but so is the beer. Visit Pike, just a few minutes away, which brews much better beer. This place is also extemely noisy and caters to the blue collar type of crowd. Overall their beer isn't in the same class as the other Washington, Oregon , and Northern California breweries.
