Kylie's Chicago Pizza

The pizza was great.  We even brought a couple of Chicagoans to test the windy-city'ness of the pies and both thought it checked out.

The menu only listed two draft beers on tap and after we ordered I noticed a small chalkboard at the other end of the room that listed others available; wish I would have seen that first.

The venue is quite small and very easy to walk past so if you're going, keep your eyes peeled.  I suspect that they're still working out a few kinks but overall we were very satisfied and will definitely go back.

Recently went here and had lunch with a colleague.  He ordered the spicy chili in a breadbowl and said it was good (and spicy).  It looked good too :).

I had a cheeseburger and an Arnold Palmer, the latter of which was perfect.  The burger itself would have been great had it not been overcooked.

Other than that, the waitress was super friendly and the building itself was pretty cool; definitely not your run-of-the-mill strip mall pub.  The stage setup looked pretty good though I've never been to a show.  I checked out the calendar of events and there was  'Adult Trivia' or something a couple nights a week...not sure what to make of that :)

HH has to be my favorite sandwich place in the Seattle area.  The buns are toasty, the fries are fantastic, the ingredients are slightly unusual but well matched and I never seem to have trouble finding a seat even though it's usually pretty busy.

I like the interior a lot and HoneyHole is also a good place to see some fresh ink.

Go hungry - did I mention the fries??? :)

Go, expecting a greasy spoon, and don't be disappointed :).  

Wife and I decided to check out Beth's after a couple of pub visits further upstreet.  I have to say, I didn't really dig on the sandwich I got, but the jukebox was cool; very important in after-bars :).  The bathroom was a little...er, well, it's a greasy spoon :)

If we go back I think I'll stick with something off the breakfast menu.

Duck Island Ale House

A good place to catch some good beer (or wine) and a full dose of metal.  A no-nonsense (regarding decor) pub, you'll find a broad selection of beverage options - the bar looked pretty well stocked.

The bartender was nice & knowledgeable.

Mikey likes it!  And so do I :).

Super-duper selection of beers, quaint settings, friendly + knowledgable staff...all good things.  I was thrilled to see that they had 3 different Old Lompocs on tap - has to be one of my favorite brewers from OR.  Apparently they rotate two to three new draft beers a week.  :)  The fireplace was nice and the couch looked pretty comfy as well.  Only bummer of the evening was me forgetting a deck of cards.

We'll definitely go back!

This place was really trick - the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was due to some funny business when it came to pre-film drinks and seating.

Nonetheless, this place is a great place to watch a film.  We went to see Avatar in 3-D and it was AMAZING.  The sound quality was easily  the best I've ever experienced (I think they have rumble-packs in the chairs, COOL!)

Not a bad seat in the houe, this is great for a date or a double-date (if you're going double, get one of the 4 seaters in the middle)

The food is also very good but the main attraction is the quality of the film experience.

Reading other reviews, I think I really ought to have opted for the Schweinshax'n.  Needless to say, I wasn't very impressed overall - the sausages were o.k., the potato salad was quite bland and the wine kraut was good, but overly spiced, IMO.  We sampled one of each of the house beers and none made us wiggle our toes.

The sauer kraut was very good, however.  :|

Fantastically cheap and surprisingly fantastic :)

Got a chx quesadilla and a few tacos (pork & beef) to share with my wife and it was perfect.  No frills but none are expected from a rocket.

Wasn't adventurous enough to try the beef tongue - don't know if I'll make it to that level of 'real'.  

Definitely worth a stop if you like good, cheap mexican food - oh, and the habanero sauce is indeed very hot.

I bought a birthday cake here and felt that all said and done, it was a good cake (esp. considering the price) but it wasn't a _great_ cake.  

The order was ready and waiting when I went to pick it up - no complaints there.

It's great to see a small independent bakery in Redmond; I'll have to try the bear-claws next time I'm in the neighborhood.
