RidgeWood Bottle & Tap — Restaurant in Seattle

The existence of Ridgewood might be the only thing keeping me from quitting my nearby customer service job. Seriously. The atmosphere is enough to make me forget my own manager was doing her best to make me cry ten minutes ago, the slushies are both strong enough enough to take the edge off of the hellscape that is capitalism and mild enough that you can talk yourself into ordering a second, (and once you taste one you'll want to order a second) they don't serve food but they're chill with you bringing your own, so you can drink your cares away with the comfort carb of your choice, and, I've saved the best for last- DOGS. They let people bring their dogs in! Yesterday alone I had to stop myself from being a weirdo and getting on the floor with at least four dogs, and if that doesn't make you want to try this place immediately I honestly don't know if I can trust your taste in fine drinking establishments. Anyway, should probably get back to work. Only a couple more hours until I can reward myself with a caramel...

Really like this spot! It can be difficult to find parking and it's gotten incredibly busy but if you can walk or bike you're in luck. There is a small shared lot but it's normally full and neighborhood parking is tough.

There's a load of can/bottle options for your mix & match packs to take home (or enjoy in-house for a "corkage" fee.) The taplist is always gold and you'll be able to find something special and local. The quality does come with somewhat high prices.

You can also order online for a quick pick-up as well which is great. Lastly, they are all ages which is nice for parents but if you don't mix kids with your drinks you're best to...

nice spot. I come here a lot. However they have one recent hire (blond, Sunday afternoon) who thinks the appropriate response to 'thank you' is 'yeah' (glare ..). To the management team - a significant portion of your customers are old enough to expect basic manners. We'll never come back if your staff are somehow insulted by having to do their jobs. There are a number of lovely bars down the street. I can also have a few beers with my burger, on my patio, at home for a fraction of the price. You sell experiences, not drinks. Service with a terrible attitude devalues it...
