Feierabend is a good place to go when you just wanna have a beer, minus all the hooplah of club and bar dwellers on the prowl. Everyone is really nice and depending on what night you go in you will see quite a variety of people.Looks divey ,the beer is good, but the food is a different story. I'd recommend to beer drinkers. Would NOT recommend for first dates

If this is German food- then I'm a fan...
Beer - check
good food- check
service- average to above average
atmosphere- average
Went there on a second date- kind of loud neighbors made conversation difficult occasionally- food was quite the adventure!!
red cabbage- yum...

How do you pronounce "Feierabend?" No clue, though I think I did ok once I had some beer in me. I'm not sure, as I had some beer in me.
Speaking of beer, Feierabend is a German styled ale house. Ale is beer, for those of you who just made it outside of your box. They serve German food as well, but not after 11pm. So if you show up late to meet a buddy and he's ordered without you and he doesn't share and you're hungry, it's your own damned fault. (Fortunately I was able to steal a spare piece of bread from his place as the server was clearing it. I'm a fucking bread-stealing-ninja like that!!!)
In honor of not being able to pronounce the name of this place, and also not being able to spell it when searching for it on mobile.yelp.com on my phone and therefore having a bitch of a time finding it, getting there late, and missing out on eating food, I'm going to post a drinking song here. Next time you're having a 2 liter glass of some german beer you can sing it to your uptight Seattle friends who will stare at you and be embarrassed and wish they were dead and also wish they had the guts to do something like that:
In Heaven, there is no beer
That's why we drink it here
And when we're gone from here
All our friends will be drinking all the beer!

I originally thought this place was going to be big, but it really was not. However it seemed to be quite the appropriate size for a group of 6 to sit and have drinks and conversation together without having to yell over bustling crowds or needing the aid of biblical characters to cross seas of people. In an unusually humid evening in Seattle, Feierabend provided a well to do watering hole. The after work crowd was out in force and the venue was buzzing.
The beer selection is (not surprisingly) the best German beer selection in Seattle. Not trying to spread itself too thin it serves a range of Deutschland's best. This, combined with a knowledgeable staff makes a fine fitting.
For me the location is a bit of a knock. Unlike other Euro beer hubs like Brouwer's or Die BierStube, it's location seemed isolated from any other form of entertainment. No, the REI doesn't count. If they let you climb the rock while intoxicated then we can revisit this conversation. My lone point here is, the beer is great and the food is remarkably authentic. As such it's a fine after work or happy hour choice. But for a raucous evening filled with debaucheries, indecencies, and bar hopping, I would look elsewhere.

I feel sorry for the waitress. I went during lunch yesterday and there was only one waitress for the whole place. Needless to stay it took so long to get our order in that I almost walked out.
Food is decent German fare that reminded me of my time in Bavaria, and there is a great selection of German beers on tap.
The specials this week don't seem that German though, what is a Philly Chicken Sandwich? My colleague didn't think much of it. The Jaegerschnizel was much better.
If I lived in the neighborhood, seems like it would be a good hangout with friends.

I need to go back soon and have a few more of their soft pretzels with mustard, cheese and various sauce sampler. Community style seating in the southwestern corner is great for meeting bizarro twins of everyone you work with. Its hard to find, and I seem to remember some kind of a hurdle on the way to the bathroom. A very trippy place with good food and beer.

Feierabend is our #1 favorite pub in the Pac NW. My husband's family is from Germany and this is the place we take our German relatives when they're in town. The food is awesome - I love their spaetzle with grated cheese and my husband loves their jaegerschnitzel and wide selection of imported beers (although I think he mentioned a particular krystallweizen was missing...) Anyway, the place is always packed in the evenings but if you venture in before 7PM, not a problem. Cheers (prost!)
Good food and good beer, what else can I say? I've been there more than a few times for lunch and dinner. My favorite is their fries with curry ketchup. The fries go well with their great beer (I always order Paulner Oktoberfest or Baron Schwarzbier). During lunch, they serve great sandwiches and lunch specials, but my favorite is the stuffed portobello mushroom, which comes with egg pasta...hmmm. Last time I went their, one female server was very nice to us and we were very pleased, though the servers are always nice! And what could be better than drinking during the lunch time? :)
But, one thing: If you are planning a party or huge get-together there, and if I remember correctly, you cannot reserve tables on Fridays. I tried it for my friend's farewell party...but because of their good food and beer, we didn't mind waiting around for the seats!
Came here with people that work at REI for a good little happy hour. Oh and how happy it was. :)
I didn't eat anything (damn it) but the Beer is awesome. Get the boot because you will not leave feeling any happier after 2L of Beer. It's all sorts of fucking perfect. Not to mention, Savage.
It seemed like it got really busy once 10 rolled around, so I was happy to be with people that were on top of their shit and already had a table. The way the tables are set up is great because it's intimate yet loud enough where you won't be self-conscious about how loud you might be laughing or how obnoxious you might be shouting "DAS BOOT! DAS BOOT!"
I will definitely be back.

Good atmosphere- Good food. Seating can be a challenge as this place is fairly small and quite popular.
Awesome German beer, awesome German food.
Have spent many a night shouting "DAS BOOT! DAS BOOT!" while pounding on a table, watching friends try not to encounter the Foamy Vortex Bubble of Death in the boot. (Watch "Beerfest" for a tutorial if you are unskilled on the ways of the boot.)
Just last night at a friend's birthday, we downed 2 boots, had one broken by the waitstaff, and were placated with shots of apfel schnapps for our entire group of 15. Huzzah.
My favorite beer is the Hacker-Pschorr Weisse, the nutmeg finish is vunderful. :-) Kasespatzel (salty cheese pasta with sage) is a good way to start your drinking, as are the fried pickles dipped in three kinds of mustard.
Caveat: can get PSYCHO crowded, especially on Friday nights. If you want to go, get there early and don't bring more than 2 or 3 people with you if you don't want to stand for half the evening, badgering drunk people to pay their tab already and free up space.
Prost!

I make it a tradition to eat a little German food (as an homage to my ancestors, those cool Bavarians and Prussians) on my birthday. Being new to Seattle, I've never been to a German place since moving out here. Despite the lag in finding a good German lager at an Authentic German place, I quickly found my new favorite place.
The food here is awesome. I went with the standard wurst and sauerkraut. It had 2 mustards on the plate and I loved them both. In addition, it wouldn't be a birthday without having at least a Liter of beer. I had .5 of Hofbrau Lager and 1L of Spaten Pils....fucking brilliant. The booze was SO good with my food and everything looked great. My friend ordered the wurst sandwich and loved it as well. Curry Ketchup? Who'd of thunk it. I could have bathed in that shit! SO GOOD!
The service was the ONLY reason why I deducted a star. The waitress forgot our drinks twice and didn't even fulfill my Brother's 2nd request for a beer. We're still perplexed about that one. There was a guy working tables too, but it seemed like he had his shit together better, although I told him I wanted a LITER and NOT the .5 that I got. Oh well, it was delicious and I can look past the poor service we got that night.
I would definitely recommend this place to everyone. It's a MUST if you like good German food!
PROST!

Its pretty much like going to Germany but without the Germans or actually going to Germany. And lets just say its a good thing my apartment is walking distance. Definitely get the Das Boot. it was only like $18 for 2L and the beer was damn good to boot (haha). Get their spaetzle, its like Germany's version of mac and cheese. Some guy at the table behind us ordered the schnitzel which looked tasty, I'll definitely have to give it a try next time. I also got some drink called the Apfel... farfegnugen soemthingorother which was (I think) apple schnapps, rum, and soda water. It was pretty freaking good. Two thumbs up Feierabend.

This place was pretty impressive. We didn't eat anything the night we went, but my friend said it smelled like Europe. I am going to have to try the food here sometime.
Usually when I go to bars and want a beer I order a Corona. I thought I was going to get my ass kicked if I ordered a Corona in this place so I got a Spaten Lager "the quintessential Bavarian beer." I don't really know how to describe the taste of beers but lets just say it was delicious, and a half liter was only $5.
The girls who sat next to us got what is called a boot which looks like it is about 2 liters (maybe more). Basically you have to have three people order it and the rule is once you pick it up you can't set it down or you get kicked out. One of the girls looked like a champ and drank most of it and her friends were like the supporting cast. She rocked!
To get the best experience you really need to have a group with you. My friend and I were lucky that the very talkative girls sat next to us because it made the experience a little better. If I come again, I am going to make sure I drag more people with me.
The only downer of the night is when one of the girls sister accused us of staring at their breasts and viewing them as sex objects. It was very awkward after that and the only thing we wanted to do was leave. And no, we were not staring at their breasts...maybe glancing but not that often.
This is definitely a place to have a yelp event. I will come here again.

Great little German bar with authentic Bayerisch grub and crucial, clutch cargo, German beers.
A liter of Helles = $9.50, $10.50w/tip. the price is normal but
I wish it was a little cheaper... say $7.75.. yeah that sounds good.
They have happy hour 7 days a week. However, it is mostly for food.
Only one rotating beer is a dollar off each day. What kinda nonsense is that??
I feel duped going to this bar for German beer. I know that you need
a distributor to bring in special beers but if you're going as far as to
open an authentic restaurant at least put some effort into pouring
some unique "micro" beers.
Pretty damn close....Good show.....sehr gut!
I went here for the first time the day before I went to Munich. I wanted a comparison point so that if I actually liked German food (never been before) then I would have a standby close to home. In case you were wondering I always knew that I was going to love the beer :)
The beers on top here are some of the ones I fell in love with in Bavaria including one of my favorites, Spaten Pils. I had quite a few liters of this in many subterranean Munich beer halls and am now looking forward to drowning myself in it on Feb 1st(the end of my 30 day challenge...damn you Tony G!!)
I had a fried gerken, pretzel, and a large assortment of mustard....I offered some of my pickle to the girl sitting next to me(minds out of the gutter) and she shared her schnitzel, spaetzle, and cabbage with me....the food was delicious, what can I say I like heavy food....and it compared well to what I ate over there. Next time I come, I am definately getting the Potato Pancakes with Applesauce(I fell in love with these on my trip).

I know Americans have this anachronistic system of measuring things (miles, pints, etc), but one does not go into an authentic German bar and order a pint of beer...one orders a LITER of beer or variation thereof.
That being said, this place is a great ripoff of Suppenkuche in San Francisco (the owner being from San Jose originally....he also owns Die Bierstube and Prost). Except there are more taps here. Like a seriously good German bar, all glassware is correct.
Food is very good....true representations of German standards....try the Wienerschnitzel and Semmelknodel. Germans would all be fat fuckers except for the fact they're always traveling or hiking it seems.
This place does get FIERCELY crowded, so if you plan on going at 4pm or later on Wed-Fri, and later on Saturdays, expect to have issues finding a seat. As long as you understand that, stand with a beer and enjoy. Christy will not wear lederhosen, though.

I honestly felt like I needed leiderhosen to top the experience.
And reminded me of "Essen Haus" in Madison WI, a great biergarten, that saw me through grad school... But I digress.
Feieraband is located in SLU, which is not the easiest place to park on a Friday night, but when you get there, it's this smallish pub, great for friends to get together and have a FANTASTIC pint of beer. I can't say that I'm a beer connoisseur, but the Spaten Lager I had was fantastic, and they had an UBER long list of yeast filled concoctions that seemed to please everyone's palate.
The soft pretzels with their little dip was DIVINE. And the fries came iwth a side of ketchup. Now that's as common as, well, fries with ketchup, but this accoutrement had a special zing to it... CURRY. I don't think that curry is especially german (maybe it is?) but DAMN, that was good!!!
The only reason that I am not giving it 5 stars is that it was LOUD. I may be getting old now, but I'd like to have the ability to hear the colleague in front of me and not repeat "I don't understand". Makes me sound stupid and drunk.... Hmmmm.. maybe?

I'm a sucker for good German food & beer, and this place is GREAT. It's conveniently located (lots of parking) right by REI..... Their prices are VERY good, and the German food is freshly prepared and creative... I was really happy with the quality...and their beer selection was great (not as vast as Brouwers though..) I went there for dinner the first time and then lunch last Saturday... they have some great sandwiches and their dinners are well done... The only thing they can work on is they attentiveness.... When it got busy, the wait staff seemed to crack under pressure... but the water was always filled and they were good about not rushing you through your meal... I'd go earlier in the day to avoid waiting for a table.... it's all first come first serve.

Real German food in the state of Washington... can it be? My dad is from Germany, his family is still there and when I crave Grandma's home cookin' it's hard to kill the craving without slaving in a kitchen all day. Not anymore! Feierabend's food is the real deal! Their schnitzel is super thin and the size of a platter, the rotkohl tastes home made, and the kassler are fantastic as well! I disagree with their take on saurkraut (they added fennel or caraway seeds... gross!) but that doesn't stop me from ordering it!
The beer selection is huge, they also have many kinds of German hard liquor. Apfelkorn anyone?? You can also get beer in 1L glasses, excellent for nursing the entire night.
Food orders are a tad on the slow side, even when the place is completely empty around 1-2 in the afternoon, so that's where they lose a star.

So I've got a friend who lives upstairs from this place and this bar has become his reception area. He takes visitors generally starting around 5pm and he promises nothing less than great tasting German food and a broad selections of the latest pils fresh off the German freight line. It gets to the point that you just want to go see your buddy do you can drink at his bar, because you couldn't not call, could you?
If you have got the Hofbrau house knack, I would say this spot would be tough to beat and you'd be hard pressed to find a Seattle spot that could show you a better spread. Great happy hour deals and food that's done right. Don't miss the spatzel or any of the other trimmings really.
It is a bit out of the way, maybe you pair your visit up with a trip to REI just down the street.

After visiting Hamburg earlier this year, Feierbend definitely satisfies my cravings for German food and beer. With 18 selections on tap, there are many choices ranging from a lighter pilsner to a darker Dunkel. Really enjoyed the Spaten Optimator and Baron Schwarzbier, for two darker beers. The beers are served in matching glasses, and in 3 sizes: 0.3L, 0.5L and 1.0L, which is by far the best deal.
The food is also very good here with a decent bratwurst and reierbekuchen (potato pancakes). The semmelknodel was also very good, although the versions I had in Hamburg were not pan-fried first. Prices are very reasonable too with entrees ranging from $8 to $12.
The service was good, even though it was crowded, as the bar staff came out to help. Overall, a very good experience and at a great price.

Good German beer in proper glasses and sizes, decent German food, and a well-chosen selection of liquors. The third of three German-style pubs opened by some guy named Chris Navarra, it looks much like its siblings Prost (Phinney) and Die BierStube (U-district). I tend to prefer the cozier, quieter neighborhood feel of his original, Prost, but if you have to account for non-beer drinkers, you'll want to go to Feierabend or BierStube. Happy Hour pricing applies primarily to food, but everything is reasonably priced, so don't sweat arriving in time for HH unless you're hungry for cheap eats. My only real complaint with the place is the indifferent feeling I get from the bartenders later in the evening, who seem to find all sorts of things to do before taking your order, even when the place isn't busy at all.

Yeay! I finally made it! I have worked less than a block from this place for more than a year now, and I had yet to get here until yesterday.
Really 3 and a half stars, I think I'd have a better experience if I went with not such a large crowd. It took the good part of 30-40 minutes to order food (never have I heard the term, "I'll be right back to take your order" so many times without her actually TAKING the order). I was pretty hungry, and that made me kind of irked.
I'm sure the beer is good, however I'm not much of a beer drinker. Good thing they have the hard liqs. I got a rum and coke with a lime, and it was good. Too bad no HH specials on hard liqs. WTF??
Once I got my chicken club sandwich, the food was definitely great, and that curry ketchup was surprisingly tasty!
I'll go again in a smaller group and re-evaluate. Until then, 3 1/2.

I would probably love it if I drank beer. They have lots of different kinds, served in their "proper" glasses. Whatever that means. I was stuck drinking overpriced, badly made cocktails. The room is super loud and smells like sauerkraut. It's also in a somewhat awkward location, difficult to get to if you're bound by the bus. On the plus side, the music they play is pretty decent and the waitstaff is great. The food is not worth mentioning. Even though I technically just did.

My first YELP review!!!
I was trying to find a new place to eat dinner( i just moved here from the east coast, so thats not THAT hard), it was Saturday around 7:30, and I jumped onto yelp to see some options. Randomly, I clicked on the "German" food section under restaurants and I am surely glad I did. There wasn't many options, but I chose the closest one to Capital Hill, it ended up being Feierabend.
I checked out the menu online to see food options and prices, good variety of moderately priced food, (that important $8-$13 price point) so me and my boyfriend decided we'd give it a try. Parking was super easy, we got a spot directly across from the entrance. The place was actually pretty small, not cramped but just smaller than expected. We tried snagging a table but there was a huge group of people that had taken over a section of the place. So we decided to sit up at the bar. We were immediately greeted and was explained some of the beers.
The bartenders were pretty awesome. The one female bartender asked our preference in beers and immediately recommended some good dark ales that fit our palates perfectly. It definitely was good to see that they offer different sizes (5 bucks for .5L of imported beer) and they even serve them in the proper glassware. After the beer was taken care of we checked out the dinner menu. Lots of good sounding items. I ended up getting a bratwurst sandwich, not something that is commonly offered at most pubs, and my BF got the weekly special of pulled pork sandwich. When we got our food we were not disappointed with the sandwiches, lots of tasty sauerkraut, and good combination of flavors. However the fries were kind of weak, bland shoestrings(kind of reminded me of hospital fries), but the curry ketchup was their saving grace. The service was super quick, I barely had set my napkin on my plate after eating and the bartender was already clearing it away.
We are definitely going to hit this place up again, and bring along some friends so we can get Das Boot.

Who needs beer when 'Obey' (I WILL!) is workin' the bar. YOWZA!
All *sighs* a(sigh)de, this is a great place to enjoy a huge slice of German beer. I'm a big Spaten (pronounced "Sh-pah-ten" fan, and that's what you'll find here. I don't mind payin' $5.50 for a .5L here (minus tip) b/c you'll only need one beer. I'm an Optimator fan, so one was plenty.
I'm not sure how much the 'big boy beers' were, but they were huge- 'Slooper Size" if ya get me. And I never saw the boot, but I'm sure someone was enjoying one somewhere.
The food looked like traditional German fare, but better than People's Pub- which is just alright. Didn't eat, but I was told that the frites were fab.
I really liked that there was plenty of room. The place was packed, but it never felt packed. Great little patio out front as well.

While at Feierabend I decided to go with the moment and ordered a 1L of the Spaten Oktoberfest, getting myself in training for my trip to Munich for Oktoberfest later this year, when in a German bar drink like a German right? It was tasty but it was a lot, next time I'm going for the .5L that will be more than enough beer for this girl. The beer was flavorful, a nice malty larger perfect for the evening. I also had the soft pretzel served with two different kinds of mustard, sea salt and a mixture of Brie, butter, onions & paprika, at happy hour it was $2 or maybe $3 and well worth the price and the mustards were rather yummy, the jury is still out on the brie mixture.
Feierabend has more of an upscale pub vibe than that of a German beir garden which is what I was hoping for but oh well. The service was spotty and the waiter acted as if he'd rather be having his teeth pulled than serving us. He really wanted nothing to do with us and for some people at the table getting a second beer was next to impossible. This unfortunately is another example of a the service ruining the full enjoyment of a place for me, on the other hand the bus boy was spot on.

I feel like I shouldn't tell you about this place, but with 37 reviews so far I guess the word is out. It's often difficult to get a table, and difficult if you don't have one. But once you're seated, it's so nice to be at Feierabend (it took me forever to remember the name).
Although I'm typically an IPA drinker, I'm happy with the Franziskaner Weissbeer. I like that the food is more interesting than typical pub food. Everything I've tried has been good, but the pretzel is tops. It comes with 2 types of mustard and a brie spread. Yum! My husband and I used to share a pretzel. It's better to get your own.
And here's a helpful hint: Feierabend is like a cousin to Prost! and Die Bierstube (also great bars). Get a stamp card and you can get it stamped at all 3 bars. After a while, you could get a T-shirt and then a stein and eventually maybe your name on a bar stool! How cool would that be.

The bar seemed like a hotel lounge bar or airport bar. Like a place I would wait at on my way to Antwerp. It was a cool bar, don't get me wrong, but it was really... i dunno... fake. the food was pretty good but nothing to "Oh My Gosh" about. The bartender/busboy however was a hottie.
The beer I got was really really yummy. I've been craving it yummy. It was the Spaten Optimator. If I ever meet you, you should ask me to say it. Then you will realize how horrible I am with accents.

This one time....
I broke the boot. It was horrible. Freakish incident as I *barely* touched it - I swear!!! Tapped the bottom on another glass and literally popped a hole in it. Our whole gang chipped in to pay the $50 for it. But damn....
Now I won't go near the boot. It's too risky, and I'm too uncoordinated.
Although for the well-balanced folk, it is a very good time.
Lots of good german beers on tap - that can be served in giant, HEFTY, liter glasses....I can say for sure that if you clink them very hard in a hearty "prost" they still will not break.

Good, but not awesome German place.
The boys seemed a little disturbed when I put away the 1L serving of spaten oktoberfest in a few minutes. It had been ages since I had any amount of it. Actually I think the last time was the German Corner in Phoenix complete with Nazis and such. Interesting place, Phoenix. If I never see it again, it'll be too soon.
Anyway. I had some of their sausage happy hour action and found it unremarkable eats. I wanted to try their red cabbage, but it wasn't available ala carte. :(
No discount on the beers during happy hour except a dollar off whatever their brew of the month was, so it was about $10 for a liter, which isn't so bad.
I'm a bit bothered that all of the local Deutchland places seem to be related. Are they all owned by the same people? Can I expect the same kind of almost satisfying deutcherchow at each? I hope not.
I'm a sucker for German action though, so it's a four star, but a three or less for a hofbrauhaus. Savvy?

I don't make it out to this part of town much even though a friend of mine lives in the same building where this bar is located and I should think about visiting more often. For the beer that is! Anyway, I can't speak too much about the food here since I never had any. I'm there for the Spaten Optimator which is kind of a meal of its own.
Service can be a little slow here at times. It took a while for my second Optimator to make it into my hands and a third never arrived on my last visit there. I suppose that was good since I drank more afterwards at Laadla and Bush Garden.

This place has a great selection of German beers which makes it worth visiting. The pricing is moderate, and the atmosphere is great, and I can easily see it becoming a favorite place to meet friends for some beers.
They have an interesting selection of German influenced food, some of which is quite tasty, though some of the items you order may be quite bland. I would rate the place at three and a half stars, with marks down for the service and potential for bland food. The service is not always that attentive, and the last time I went the waitress decided it was not busy enough to stay open until one, and a full hour and a half before closing time told our table of four that it was last call. We were not the only table present, and she turned away two more tables of people that tried to come in shortly thereafter. Lame service for a pub.
