Mr. B's Meadery — Restaurant in Seattle

Hard to overstate how much I love this place • The worst meads on the menu are as tasty as the best meads I've ever had from anywhere else, the best meads on the menu are divine • The aesthetic/ambiance is mind-blowing • Mr. B and the other bartenders are amazing, delightful, friendly people

If you are someone who has tried mead elsewhere and found it mediocre/bad, don't let that stop you from trying Mr. B's. It's surprising but it's just literally true that most meadmakers out there don't know how to make good mead. Mr B does. He has the second largest selection of flavors in the country. He does lots of hobby-sized batches and experiments so there is always something new to try even when you visit as often as I do.

More awesome tidbits: It gets a little bit better every time I visit, the new honey-comb shaped flight boards are beautiful. Tarot Tuesdays are a blast. The Hawaiian Honey series of meads is so interesting, did you know that bees that pollinate macadamia trees make honey (that can be turned into mead) that tastes like macadamia nuts, even without any actual macadamia added? Mulled mead is amazing, though be careful to let it cool down before you sip! Always ask about the secret mead menus. The sparkling meads are so refreshing, sparkling unicorn blood and sparkling lavender are my favorites. Don't leave without checking out...

Mr. B makes the best mead in the Pacific Northwest. Maybe the whole West coast. A variety of constantly rotating and highly imaginative flavors are always on the menu. Order a tasting flight for reasonable prices to get a sense of all that's available.

The room is small, but there is seating in the alleyway as well. The result is a night of talking to strangers who can't help but overhear your conversation as everyone gets a little tipsier than anticipated from the deceptively strong spirits. The proprietor is extremely personable and will talk at length about his process, his materials, and his ethos for creating mead. His passion is so clear in both the way he talks and the final products.

The eclectic decor and comfy seating makes for a lively night. And the bathroom has an incredible aesthetic with a calming atmosphere.

You'll feel like you've walked into a secret club. Even writing this review I have the urge not to publish it for fear that the secret will get out too far. But everyone deserves to give this place a try. Take home a few bottles to share the wonderful mead with...

Went in here with my girlfriend and although I no longer drink alcohol, Mr. Shua offered me a non-alcoholic watermelon ginger beverage option so that was nice. My girlfriend really enjoyed the mead, got a flight and enjoyed every one of them. All this aside, the place is a 5 star experience even if you get nothing to drink. The decor is great, nicest bathroom I’ve ever seen, really cool location, and Mr. Shua was a god damn joy to be around. Best customer service experience I’ve had since I lived in Seattle by far. Just felt more like a friend. Since I don’t drink anymore, usually after I’ve visited a bar, tavern, tasting room of sorts I’ve got no desire to go back as I saw what those places had to offer at that point. I will 100% visit this place again just because of how unique it is and because the employee working was such a pleasure to be around. There’s a good reason this place has a...
