Elysian Capitol Hill Brewery — Restaurant in Seattle

I share feedback with the hope of other people’s experience being better.

I will start by saying I went to 2 other Cap Hill bars that either weren’t serving food yet, or didn’t have food before coming to Elysian. One of the original bars recommended the place.

I liked the exterior, and the very inviting interior. The bartender immediately came over to me, offered me a menu, and bought me a water.

The place had a healthy amount of people, though not wild *yet.

I asked his opinion on the wings, wrap, or burger. He recommended the wings.

I should have just went with my gut.

The wings were soggy, and over spiced with hot sauce (My opinion). It took 2 napkins to wipes my fingers from 1 wing.

I slid the plate far-away from me, and you could clearly see 1 half eaten bone in the bone plate.

I asked the bartender to place an order for the wrap.

I was taken back that he didn’t ask why. Along with how the wings were.

The wrap was decent. I believe my experience was already unfortunately ruined.

The bar began to get busy, and the bartender was hurriedly attempting to keep up with the servers drink orders.

I am not saying the bartender was rude, or short. It would have been nice to simply receive a friendly courteous experience. He was very nice to 2 regulars who were on both sides of me.

I waiting for a bit for the check. When he came over to me, I without having an attitude shared I was surprised that he didn’t ask me about the wings that I did not eat, which were still sitting pushed away from me. He shared he thought I was taking my time with them. They were cold, extra soggy, and there were no uneaten bones.

He seemed a bit perturbed that I bought it up. He did take them off of the bill, though again no personality, or pleasantries as he handed me the check.

I tipped very handsomely, and it would have been nice if my service mirrored my gesture, even as I will most likely not visit...

Elysian Night Owl: Eysian Brewing was founded in Seattle, Washington in 1996. Night Owl is a pumpkin ale and one of four seasonal pumpkin beers that they offer (I still need to get my hands on Dark O' The Moon (pumpkin stout), Pumkuccino (coffee pumpkin ale), and The Great Pumpkin (imperial pumpkin ale). Night Owl is brewed with pumpkin juice & puree, spiced in conditioning with ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, gloves, and allspice. Roasted and raw pumpkin seeds are in the mash, with pumpkin added to the mash and fermenter. It has an ABV of 6.7% and an IBU of 18. It has a clear dark amber color and is medium bodied. I’m not a huge beer drinker and I’m very particular about the few brews that I like, but I always try a couple new pumpkin beers each fall. Keeping that in mind, this may not sound the greatest, but it is actually praise. I was able to drink the entire bottle without being grossed out by it. It is one of the more drinkable pumpkin beers I’ve encountered, so I’m giving it my approved rating. I’m still looking forward to trying their other pumpkin offerings at some point. My favorite Pumpkin Beers: Southern Tier Pumking Imperial Ale Saint Arnold Pumpkinator Imperial Stout New Belgium Pumpkick Ale Jack-O Traveler Pumpkin...

First time ever attempting to eat here and won't be going back. Our host and server were very friendly and attempted to fix our table that was wobbly. We were seated in the back at this table that looked like it shouldn't have even been there. Trying to just add more seating. It was ok until this large group of 8 sat next to us. We felt like we were getting asses in our faces and bumped into the entire time. Very awkward and uncomfortable. We only ordered a hummus platter and 2 house salads. It took a long time and before we could even get them, we decided to just leave. Had to ask 2 different people to box up our salads. The server did apologize for how long it took and compt the hummus platter. When we got home and went to eat our salads, one container had what we asked for (house salad with grilled chicken) and the other just had lettuce! Not impressed at all. The only reason I'm giving any stars is because of how friendly the host and server were. That they attempted to fix the wobbly table and they comped the hummus platter, showed that they we trying to make...
