Haven't been here, myself, but I really enjoy its sister-pub Hilltop Ale House
Also same owners as 74th St. Ale House
Columbia City Ale House should be a good bet.

I like this place at lot. So much so that I wish they would change the menu every now and then. The sandwiches are great; Reuben, Green chili tuna and catfish. The burger is often overcooked so I don't order that anymore.
I would go there more if they changed the menu a bit. They list daily specials but these are hit or miss. Their stews are served in tiny bowls that don't hold very much and the crust on their potpies are prebaked pieces of puff pastry which aren't really a part of the dish???
I was there last night and the music was so loud we could barely talk. Our waitress was curt and threw stuff on the table which we thought was rude. She was not even that busy!

Next-door Tutta Bella has been giving the Ale House a run for its money. Although the food is better at Tutta Bella, the advantage of the Ale House is that it is a kid-free environment. So, if you're not in the mood for the hustle and bustle of Tutta Bella, the Ale House is a good choice. Service can be great or very bad, which is also true of the specials. The sandwiches are all great.

This restaurant and bar combines the look and feel of a British pub with the food of a place several times more posh. There is something in this neighborhood eatery for everyone, but my personal recommendation is the fish tacos with kiwi salsa. Just thinking about them makes my mouth water.
Many of the menu items seem Cajun-inspired, and the beer and wine selection is excellent. The staff is knowledgeable and charmingly unobtrusive.
This is a small place with the amazing abilty to deliver a relative lot of variety. Television sets are constantly on and usually tuned to sports events, sometimes there is a live band, but you can still find a table appropriate for intimate conversation. Pretty good people-watching can be had here as well. The atmosphere is relaxed and casual.
Parking in Columbia City can be daunting if you don't know about the free lot hidden on Edmonds Street east of Rainier Ave.. Even this fills up fast, but pay parking is relatively cheap compared to downtown.
