I love the Hopvine for many reasons. The neighboorhood is my favorite in the city, 15th area of upper Capitol Hill. The bar is small, but so cozy. They have a few nice big booths, friendly barstaff, a really interesting selection of beers (I had one a few months ago that had hints of smoked salmon flavor, and it was good!). My favorite dish is the hot artichoke dip, and they have an open mike every week that is really fun.
PROS: great beer, food, atmosphere.
CONS: No cons, I love this place!

More
The George and Dragon, what looks like another Fremont hole in the wall kind of a place from the street is actually one of the top ten soccer bars in the country according to GQ magazine; for good reason, the George is an American footy fan's dream. Showing mainly English Premiership/FA Cup and Champions League games the George is mainly an English pub but they also show action from Spain and Italy on a regular basis.
The regulars are exactly what you would expect from a soccer bar; on game day most everyone is wearing a jersey supporting their squad passionately. To an outsider it might seem a bit cliquish and so it should be: the Arsenal fans (John, one of the owners is an Arsenal supporter) who come in week in and week out won't really talk to you if you only come for the Cup Final. However, this is one of the only places where you can meet other fans and talk footy like others talk about the Mariners around the water cooler including all the transfer rumors and controversies. Since they replay most of the big games in the evening you can forget for a few hours that you are in rainy Seattle and be transported to your favorite European hideaway.
They have a full bar and a great beer selection with 15+ taps. Pints are a little pricey at 4.50 but it beats the flight to Europe to watch the match or your own satellite hookup.
The food is perfect pub fare: I would recommend the chicken strips and chips with homemade honey mustard dressing. The chips are the best in Seattle, think Dick's fries but five times thicker and are served with a bottle of HP sauce for the English flavor.
Their schedule of games is on their website at georgeanddragonpub.com and is updated frequently so if you want to see the true Seattle soccer scene check it out.

We seriously think about the reuben for days after having it. It is the best sandwich I have ever had, and I never really was a big fan of reuben's before this one. Make sure to order it with a side ceasar salad, which is just as good as the sandwich. The local beer selection is tops, service is great, location can't be beat.
Pros: Best Reuben and beer selection
Cons: None

This is our new favorite place to go when we've had a long day, don't want to cook, and need some cheap yummy eats. The pies are pot pies all made on site. I've had them all and there's not a dud in the bunch. There's also a special pie of the day and the soup of the day is always a winner. Servings are a refreshing break from the bigger is better portions being shoveled out by so many other eateries. Plus the smaller portions save room for dessert which is not to be missed!
The location is low-key, comfrotable and quiet. Tables up front; couches, bar and pool table in back.
Only real issue is that the menu is a bit limited. We go there 2-3 times a month and at this point we've pretty much gone through the menu several times over.

I've always kept my bowling desires on the down low. It was such a geeky thing to do, and Alex and I were somewhat embarrassed that we had bought our own bowling shoes. Imagine my surprise when I walked into Sunset Bowl on Saturday night to find it absolutely CROWDED with people. It seemed more like a club than a bowling alley. With a bar and restaurant attached, people were gussied up and partying away. I even saw people hitting on each other. Like attractive people. At a bowling alley?! I don't get it.
Our group waited about an hour and a half for the lane before we finally gave up. But not before having some embarrassing fun in the little arcade.

Thankfully this place has been under new ownership since 2006 and it has a totally different feel. The new owners live in the neighborhood and really care about the pub and the people. If you are looking for a low key neighborhood hang out this is it. There is incredible music every Thursday and sometimes on Wednesday and Sunday. The free pool is nice. The tap beer selection is awesome and rotates weekly. Olimpia, Guinness, and Manny's are always on with 2-3 rotating IPAs and an ecclectic mixture of other local styles and seasonals. Great selection of Belgian Bottles. Pretty nice Scotch and Whisky selection too. The menu is pub food (great wings and fries) and the use of organic chicken and beef is a nice touch. Cool bartenders who are actually nice. The regulars are welcoming and the atmosphere is totally unpretentious. This place is a great for happy hour (Good cheap beer), evenings are pretty mellow and late night usually has a really fun industry crowd.
Pros: great beer and people
Cons: can get loud

Hattie's is really two places in one.
On weekends Hattie's serves an excellent breakfast. Perfect food after a late night of drinking. Plus, breakfast served until 5 for you late-risers. For those of you who like a cocktail during breakfast, Hattie’s serves excellent Bloody Mary's and Mimosa’s.
During the evenings Hattie’s is a great neighborhood bar. Stiff drinks, and amazing bar food such as burgers and grilled sandwiches. I have had the best grilled cheese sandwich EVER at Hattie's. It was a combination of chesses and grilled onions and tomatoes.
If I lived in Ballard, I would be a Hattie’s regular.
