Chill vibes and cold beers. Didn’t try any food, but the variety available was nice to see. We didn’t love the orange based beer we tried at the time (we visited in November 2025), but my IPA was solid. Would come back next time I’m in the area.

I had a very uncomfortable and disappointing experience at this kitchen due to the behavior of the kitchen owners. Throughout my visit, the kitchen owners were staring at me repeatedly which made me feel unsafe, anxious, and extremely uncomfortable while trying to enjoy my meal.
This was not a one time incident. After talking to my friends, I learned that one of them had experienced the same behavior and stopped going to this place because it made her feel unsafe and uncomfortable.
This type of behavior from kitchen owners is completely inappropriate and unprofessional for a business serving the community. Customers should feel respected, comfortable, and safe at all times. Because of this experience, I would never recommend this place to any woman, and I would never be returning again to this place.

Great atmosphere with a welcoming, social vibe. Excellent selection of drinks, solid food, and friendly service. Salsa Night was especially well done, lively, well-organized, and easy to enjoy. A great spot for a relaxed night out with good energy. Would definitely return

Absolutely outstanding experience from start to finish. The atmosphere is welcoming and thoughtfully designed, the service is attentive and professional, and the food is exceptional. Every dish was prepared with care and full of flavor. You can truly tell this place takes pride in quality and customer experience. Highly recommend and will definitely be returning.

This spot delivers a strong beer lineup paired with a delicious food menu. The space is clean, social, and well-run, making it easy to settle in whether you’re grabbing some drinks or staying for a full meal. If you want quality drinks and real food in Kirkland, this place gets it right every single time.

Went to ask for chips and salsa at the kitchen window and saw the cook microwaving my fully assembled burger bun and all. Chips and salsa were round tortillas and salsa taste like Pace jarred salsa. Burger still taste ok but was not worth 17$. Won’t be coming back again.

We come here once a month for Bill and Karen’s open mic, and we always have a great time. (Bill and Karen are fantastic hosts!) Love the atmosphere and the people. I’m not a beer drinker, but I have a different wine each time I go, and it’s always been delicious. Chris is a great bartender–friendly and super-efficient, even when it gets busy. Highly recommend this place!

We popped in here on our way downstairs to Vovina. What a great little discovery. Excellent atmosphere, great selection of beers on tap and wine. Chris was a great host and made the visit a lot of fun.

I have been a regular for years, but don’t go anymore. The new kitchen owners always sit in the best seats and kind of stare at you making it feel unsafe. So sad to lose a local gem. Also Chris who is amazing is gone. Just sad about loosing this place!
