The Hopvine

The Hopvine Pub is a neighborhood favorite -it is actually surprising that I have waited until now to extol its praises. Mallar and I have been to the pub quite regularly for several months. The Hopvine serves really great pizza and has a tasty variety of beers on tap. The staff is always friendly and on the ball and it just feels really easy to spend time here. It is not a pretentious crowd of "look at me" types nor does it feel as though you are intruding on a cliquey sub section of alternative society. It is just come-as-you-are easy.

We took our friend, Jon, to the pub last week. He is studying medicine in Kingston (Ontario) right now but was participating in a conference here in Seattle and stayed with us for a week -our very first "overnight" guest.
