    This my local go to bar as I live nearby. The beer is great with a wide selection and the free popcorn is yummy. I like to catch Seahawk or Mariner games with the crowd that is usually there. The food is good with Specials to try for something different.

    Good beer selection... The sandwiches and macaroni were good.. Like your mom made them, if your mom was only a decent cook. Lol. But the atmosphere and the staff were beyond pleasant. Free popcorn always a plus. Would definitely go back.

    This is a cool little mellow, cozy neighborhood place. Seats about 40?. Really nice staff, decent food. This kind of place is what gives a neighborhood character. We need to support local neighborhood businesses like this.

    A great new addition to Beacon Hill. I like their (unofficial?) motto: No Crap On Tap. They have a bevy of NW beers and some ciders. Great stuff and a good, healthier-for-bar-standards food menu (the spinach salad + optional field roast was really tasty). The staff is friendly, the vibe is great to hang out with buddies and chat; which means it's pretty loud at night. They also have complimentary munchies for anytime, including chips, pita chips and popcorn from their own machine. I totally dig the design touches with the rustic orange glass fixtures, candle tables, wood finishes and the dark matte red exterior. You'll also find sports on the TV's.

    Sunday brunch! Tippe & Drague Alehouse was a sweet spot for that. Specifically, the Eggs Benedict with fried potatoes and side bowl of strawberries and cantaloupe. I would have preferred a little more Hollandaise sauce covering the eggs and muffin, but it was still very good. The fruit was also very fresh. Interested in a quality and local micro-brew? Well, they have 16 of them, exclusively from either Oregon or Washington. I was in a dark (beer) mood and the Westport Brewing Porter with caramel and chocolate malts was a very nice selection. The bartender was very friendly and pleasant to talk to, which was a relief especially since there were only a few people dining there at the time. Although it could remain hidden over on Beacon Hill, TDA is worth a find and a visit.

    Great neighborhood pub with a very welcoming environment. They do a decent, Sunday brunch and have an impressive, rotating tap list. It is a sports bar, so if you're not into that, avoid game times since it's a tiny space and can get very loud.

    They give you free popcorn and have great craft beer on tap...do I even need to write a review? This Beacon Hill home was converted into an alehouse and with a huge and nice patio in the back it is a huge hit. The food is pretty good as well. The service is excellent and it can get a little packed inside as it is a small pub but it is really a chill place to have a beer and grab some grub! Then 15 taps rotate constantly with a very diverse set of choices across the beer spectrum (unlike other places that just have IPAs) - this place rules

    My family and I have recently moved to Seattle from Denver. Since we've arrived, one of the most pleasant discoveries for me has been access to such a wide variety of delicious "local" Pacific Northwest beers. With my wife's friend and daughter visiting from our old "hometown" of Washington DC, I received a coveted "kitchen pass" after church yesterday. As such, I headed out to find a couple of good local pubs -- yelp helped me strike gold with both! After a quick yelp search of pubs and filtering through the ratings, I settled on first visiting Tippe & Drague Alehouse in Beacon Hill. The neighborhood reminded me a little of the neighborhood pubs from my time living in Chicago, and when I walked in, that familiar warm feeling elicited by a friendly environment instantly enveloped me. It wasn't that bar, trying to be something it truly isn't; it wasn't the crazy sports bar with screens and blaring noise; and it wasn't that bar with the sticky floors begrudgingly serving craft beer. It was like visiting friends in an atmosphere almost perfect for good beer and conversation. I sat down on the wooden stools (perhaps my only suggested improvement would be to pad the stools) at the bar, and (I believe) one of the co-owners asked if I would like to start with a beer. After reviewing the tap handles and beer list, I settled on a malty Emerald City Brewing's Dottie Amber Lager. She offered me some popcorn, but I was in the mood for something more substantive, just not a sandwich or burger... just couldn't put my finger on it. As if she knew exactly what I needed, she mentioned they were finishing up brunch, and suggested their cheese grits with bacon. Since I grew up in Atlanta, I was a little hesitant to order grits in Seattle. Not that I'm a huge fan of grits, but I know enough about them, that it takes careful preparation for just the right consistency and proper flavor. I cannot even describe how awesome the cheese grits were yesterday. Sometimes cheese in grits can make them heavy, yet somehow these were just the right amount of fresh cheese that did not dominate the flavor of the grits. To make them even more savory, I added some Louisiana hot sauce to my liking, and by the time I finished it was all I could do not to lick the bowl. To top it all off, the bacon was thick and smoky, and frankly, the grits and bacon paired very nicely with my beer :) As I debated what to try next, another bartender came over and started up a friendly conversation about football. We chatted as if we'd known each other for a long time, and I soon ordered Amnesia Brewery's Two-Stroke Summer Ale -- a Kolsch style pale ale. It was cold and hazy and just right to enjoy the start of the Mariners game. The bartender wisely took note of my order and offered me a couple of additional similar local samples "for consideration on your next visit." Believe the reviews that bring Tippe & Drague to the top of the Seattle pubs on yelp. This place is the real deal -- and I am so glad to find them and add them to the places I plan to frequent. Tippe & Drague has just the right amount of balance to being a friendly neighborhood bar, almost feeling "like home," and offering terrific food with a superb variety of local beer. Without question, I will be back -- and when friends visit from other great beer towns like Boston, this will be the first place I take them.

    So many awesome taps, it looks like a foosball table back there. You've got my attention T&D. Great location on Beacon Hill; with a trivia night, delicious FREE popcorn (from the old Columbia City Theatre popcorn machine, now the Ark Lodge Cinema) and really, really great service. I like the space, but it's not someplace I would hang out for a long period of time. I've been in for dinner/beers twice and once for weekend breakfast. During breakfast, I ordered a side of cheese grits, that had this strange aftertaste of maple syrup. So much so, I asked my waitperson if they put maple syrup in it (either on accident or purpose) and she said they didn't. Strange. The eggs, toast and potatoes were fine, but not memorable. We walked away full, but a little unsatisfied with the food. So dinner; I've had the nachos with chicken and was sorely disappointed. The cheese was sparse and reminded me of nachos from the movies a bit. I also have had the mac and cheese (added chicken) and it was really heavy on the bleu cheese and gorgonzola. I adore both cheeses, but it was too pungent together. I have heard of the other chef offerings that they had, but I never seem to get there when they are happening. But I kinda wish that they served quality memorable food all the time, not just during the specials. You're cool; T&D. I'll wait a bit and give you guys a go again :)

    Free popcorn? Oh yupppp! Great friendly service. Wide beer selection. I found the atmosphere to be pretty comfortable and cozy. The food selection may be kind of small but I didn't expect anymore from a bar. Can't go wrong with a reuben sandwich a pale ale while watching the Mariners though, well kind of. Also the fact that it's located a few minutes away from my house makes it even better!

    Great place. Terrific beer selection and a nice food menu with some unique options. A big cut above your usual local tavern. They even had a nice Oregon bitter cider when I went. Really recommend it.

    I've been waiting a while for a place like this to open up on Beacon Hill. Upon finding a seat at the bar we were greeted with a bowl of popcorn and offers to sip/try one of the many local beers on tap. By the end of the night we had chatted with the owners about everything from our favorite Dim Sum spots to Seattle sports woes. All in all a very relaxing and homely environment. I will definitely be back to try the menu.

    Heaven on earth is sitting on the beautiful beer garden at the Tippe and Drague sipping a Big Al Time Capsule or Rusty Zipper on a warm summer's eave. The fact it is dog friendly is a bonus. Combined with the super-friendly service, free popcorn and stellar menu (the Reuben is T.D.F.) and this might be the best local in Seattle.

    A perfect little bar with a perfect little vibe. There are just two rooms, and it feels like this is the space they were able to carve out of a building that probably used to be a house once upon a time. It's right up against the sidewalk on the southern stretch of Beacon Avenue that's just starting to bustle. You walk in and there are a few tables, a flat screen, and a great big grandfather clock off to the side. A grandfather clock! Not a smart-ass artists reproduction, with a cheap tin clockworks set screwed into a big old box. A real grandfather clock is standing there off to the side. It doesn't get any homier than that. They don't have a fireplace, but not too many bars do. Precious few, if any, bars can boast a grandfather clock though. Looks like a nice one, and when I was in, it was running. The next room has two semi-divider walls cordoning off the bar area, where there's a nice barback, a couple dozen faucets pouring well-selected local micros (almost all WA and OR), a flat screen, and a big popcorn machine. They ask everybody if they want a bowl of popcorn. So cool. They tend to run KEXP over the hi-fi. The food list is a rock-solid lineup of pub grub, with veggie, vegan, gluten-free, and other options virtually throughout. Everything looks and smells great, though I've only been here for beers, bowl games, and conversation. No food so far, but I wouldn't hesitate to dine here for sure. Beacon Hill is really blowing up. This place went from virtually empty to completely packed in 10 minutes, and stayed packed. The people on both sides of the bar are friendly and fun. I'll definitely be back.

    Ok, so I am giving this place four stars because the beer selection is seriously legit. All Northwest beers, all amazing. They also give you free popcorn to nosh on while you're drinking, which is nice. But man, the rest of the food here was so disappointing. I had the pulled pork sandwich, which seemed like a safe bet. It was super dry and came with a lack-luster side salad. Worse still was my husband's mac and cheese. It was so so bland and arrived cold. Neither of us finished our meals. If you're looking to do dinner and drinks in Beacon Hill, go to Bar Del Corso for food and then head to Tippe and Drague afterwards. Or just stay at Bar Del Corso, which has much better ambiance anyways.

    Located on Beacon Hill, this small alehouse is quite a charming little place! The establishment is in an old house that feels like it has lots of history, and it's just a great atmosphere. The seating is limited, but the service was wonderful. They greet you with a bowl of fresh popcorn, popped the way it was 50 years ago with very little butter and salt. Yum! They have a decent variety of local craft beers, and the girls I was with also ordered their cider. They said it was delicious, but I prefer more dark brews. They had a pretty good looking food menu, but I didn't try anything else. I'll definitely come back here next time I'm in Seattle :)

  • Kayan H.

    Came in for brunch and had the 3 egg ham and cheese and mushroom scramble. It came with toast and potatoes. Both the sides and main course were delicious. I asked for ketchup and they only had gourmet varieties, I didn't like either. Wish they had Heinz. Husband had biscuits and gravy, which was good. Will come back for sure, but will bring my own heinz.

  • Anthony O.

    Talk about local bar! Their selection is amazing and none of it comes from anywhere further than Oregon. I love that they support NW micro-breweries and I love it even more that they're minutes away from me. Their beer menu is very informative without being overly pretentious or intimidating and the staff is always willing to let you sample whatever they have on tap or share their knowledge as well. It's a great place to experiment with different types of beer and find one that suits you. Who says you can't have a delicious beer while watching the Hawk's game!?

    I love me some good beer. I love me some wheat beer. I love me some winning Mariner's games and eclectic crowd of people for watching. 'twas a hump day Wednesday when I decided to spontaneously grab a cold one with a good friend. I've been wanting to try me some more urbanized gentrified Beacon Hill spots so lo and behold I came across Tippe and Drague. It looks small from the outside but inside is pretty spacious. Service was great. Upon entering, IDs were checked (I will forever look like I'm 16 with my petite Asian frame and face, boo.) and popcorn was offered. Pints are a fair $5 but for some reason the glasses look smaller than most bars? Great selection of local brews except most of it were IPAs which are 1) too bitter for me and 2) too strong for me to knock back a few and still be able to drive -- NO, I DO NOT DRIVE DRUNK, NOR DO I CONDONE IT IN THE LEAST. Food is a bit expensive but we split a rueben that was loaded and delicious. Chips were unimpressive but hey, they're chips. You don't ask for a side that has to astound someone. Fair. The waiter looked like the man on the coaster which I found amusing. Will definitely come back if I was in the area. Laid back vibes, it'd be great to watch a game over a couple of pints. How about them 'hawks?

    AWESOME beer list, tasty food, and friendly service in a cozy neighborhood pub. I couldn't be happier that Tippe and Drague came to the Beacon Hill neighborhood. They clearly filled a huge void based on the crowd that's always here. With fun things like free popcorn, trivia night, and regular Brewer's nights with local breweries, it's a great place to hang out and enjoy a beer with friends. My only complaint is that the food is a little expensive (though fresh and I appreciate the rotating specials), and they don't do a great job keeping their beer list updated. They go through kegs too quickly for a printed beer list anyway; a chalk board or digital menu on one of their TVs would be easier to maintain and would cause less confusion about what's actually available on tap.

    I stumbled upon this place sober, and stumbled out less so. I've only been to the Tippe and Drague once but immediately fell for its charms. One of the owners is a fellow ex-Cincinnatian and really does the beer thing properly. I'm a stickler for clean lines as the taste of beer can be substantially affected by infrequent cleaning. I tasted NOTHING but wonderful draft beer, with each tap being well chosen. I sat and made new friends across several hours, eating tasty dishes we ordered including kimchi pancakes, macaroni and so forth. Everything was good and paired very well with the beer. Later we drank cider which, though normally uninteresting to me, was all of very good quality and suited the beers nicely. All in all, this was closer to the vibe I found in some of the pubs in London than what I've seen in some other US cities. I live in the ID and am shamefully near the Tippe and Drague not to have returned. A British ex-pat friend has also been to the alehouse and roundly approves. I'm sure we'll get up that way before long. I've been to most of the other beer drinking spots in Seattle but this one hits me the best. MAJOR KUDOS.

    Found this place thanks to all the great reviews on Yelp. Stopped in tonight to check them out and are very glad we did. Arrived to find the place hopping, but not outrageously so. Managed to snag a comfy table in the corner and were immediately greeted by a very friendly server bearing popcorn. Off to a great start.... Neither my husband nor I are beer drinkers, so I can't comment on the beer menu. But, he enjoyed a nice cider on draft (getting a bit easier to find, but still not entirely common), while I had to stop myself from quaffing down a lovely glass of sangria (ok, two lovely glasses...). (Not my normal choice, but perfect for a warm summer evening.) We each ordered a sandwich with a side salad. The salads came out first, and, I have to say, I was not particularly impressed. The veggies had seen better days and my dressing (fig balsamic, which I thought would be amazing) was pretty bland. My sandwich, though, was much better: grilled chicken on ciabatta with two cheeses and caramelized onions and pears. The chicken was cooked just right, all the accompaniments complemented it quite nicely, and it was an ample serving. Prices here originally look a hair above the odds, but, then you realize tax is already included; so then they seem just about on par with the prices charged for similar food and drink at similar establishments. As mentioned, our server was very friendly as were the other folks on duty tonight (two of whom happened by our table at some point). All made us feel like we were very welcome and that our business was truly appreciated. The atmosphere was, as the kids say, chill. Patrons ranged from parents out with their kids, to folks on dates, to groups of friends kicking off their Friday night frolicking. All seemed to be having a great time. Overall, this was a very enjoyable, relaxed, dinner. So glad to have found the Tippe and Drague Alehouse. Even gladder that it is just a short jaunt from home. We'll be back.

    This is a neighborhood gem. I just wish it were in MY neighborhood! Five of us came here for the first time to watch the Super Bowl because we wanted a place that wasn't full of overgrown frat boys but also not too precious and full of hipsters. We came to the right place. The food is great, and clearly not frozen stuff bought in bulk. Everything tastes fresh and like the chef actually cares. The beer selection is one of the best in Seattle if not THE best (not the longest list - that's not what I mean) and you'll find small batch craft beers here that you'll look long and hard to find anywhere else. The TV is nice and big, the staff has a really good attiitude and gets things out quickly, and the vibe is comfortable and friendly. What more could you want?

    Great new hangout spot in Beacon Hill. Taps are great and they have a great variety of local breweries which are wonderful if you are an avid beer drinker. Food specials are different and tends to sell out fast - Black Bean Tostada, Mini open tuna face, beer infused sliders.

    We live in West Seattle and thought we'd check out the Beacon Hill scene. There are three or four highly rated restaurants near each other on Beacon Ave, so we decided to start with Tippe and Drague. The wait staff are very attentive and friendly. The size of the restaurant is pretty small, yet very comfortable. They have a nice selection of beers and their menu gives a little extra detail on each one to help you make a decision. We ordered the pulled pork sandwich with a cesar salad. I have to say that I've definitely had better pulled pork. And, the salad wasn't anything special. The lettuce seemed a little wilted. However, we did have the carrot cake for dessert and it was fabulous! Overall, I would recommend this place and would certainly go back. But, don't expect to be wow'd by their food.

    Awesome beer selection! Delicious food. Friendly owners. The only bad thing is it's usually crowded and hard to find a spot to sit. Week nights are the best time to go if you avoid the Trivia night (which is fun if your into that kind of thing). I recommend the Ruben

    I was so excited when they finally opened their doors, but it was well worth the wait! The owners Melissa and Robert are gracious and will spend time talking to you with passion about their beers! A wide eclectic and constantly changing selection of beers, I'm always salivating to find out what coming next. As far as food goes, I've only tried the chop salad, which was generous and had a delicious dressing, but am looking forward to trying their Sunday brunch. So happy you guys are here on Beacon!

    Top notch Beer selection and Outstanding Service! The beer menu is always changing so it is a great spot for Hop heads! When you arrive to Tippe & Drague you will note it is cozy, however, we always seem to get a table when needed. The popcorn that meets you as you are seated is movie theater quality, so delish and so FREE! :) Pints of Tasty micro brew are $5 and some are of the strong variety. They have a large tv. and a small bar tv with games that are requested by the patroms. The food seems high priced at first glance until you note the quality! I have had the pulled pork sandwich and the nachos and both are great! The Nachos were tasty, loaded and were large enough to share! I thought the pulled pork needed more bbq sauce but I am a condiment freak, and they happily gave me a side, others may just appreciate the natural smoked flavors of the pork! You can tell they use all quality ingredients here! I've been here several times now and it is consistent! I am so happy to have the Tippe & Drague as a new addition neighborhood watering hole.

    Tippe and Drague Alehouse is an excellent addition to the expanding Beacon Hill restaurant choices! We have been to this place several times and are always greeted by name and with a warm smile. The atmosphere is warm, relaxed and comfortable. It has always been lively without being too loud. We have come here for lunch and brunch and are always happy with the menu options - there is a good mix of yummy comfort food and healthier fare.

    Beacon Hill was like a very long strip of wasteland of no beer until Tippe & Drague opened. In order to find some kind of beer, you had to squeeze into Baja Bistro (too loud music) or travel to Georgetown where you found lots of cold shoulders. I found out about this establishment months before it opened on a beer blog and even paid a visit while the owners were still painting the interior. I was there the first week it opened and I think I have been there every week since then (ok, we are fans). I have not been able to find an equally comfortable & inviting watering hole since I came to Seattle (over 10 years ago). Owners Melissa & Robert (and server Ed) are easygoing and always stop to chat, where ever we sit. Their beer menu changes practically daily and one time we mentioned we liked a certain beer and next week they had it on tap! They have 15 beers on tap and at least one kind of cider and it's all Pacific Northwest derived. Kitchen staff make good food, in particular their soups and bread puddings (not offered all the time). They update their Facebook pretty often with what's happening that day. They are open everyday - we even went and had a beer with them on Christmas day. But because it was a wasteland prior to their opening, it is now popular! People know this is the place to go! Make sure to show up early in the evenings and weekends or you might have to wait for a seat.

    Really excited about the newly-opened alehouse near Jefferson Park. Our neighborhood is pretty great, but it was lacking great beer. Now, it's pretty much perfect (although I'd love a bookstore and a toy store). Lots of beers (and some ciders) on tap. Good food. Allows kids. Nice people. Go, try it!

  • Allison D.

    Just had weekend breakfast here for the second time. The food is terrific. First time I had an egg and cheese sandwich that was surprisingly delicious. Second time I had the spinach, mushroom scramble which was equally yummy, both served with very tasty chopped fried potatoes. My husband had biscuits and gravy both times and my son had the buttermilk pancakes and we shared a side of bacon. The food is really top quality which is a bit surprising for a pub. The ambiance is very cozy, clean and cheerful. On our first visit the owner Melissa told us all about how they salvaged a lot of the lights and the grandfather clock from a family farm and it was apparent the place was designed and built with love and attention. The service was friendly, though as another poster commented the servers are sometimes a little green. We are thrilled to have another neighborhood option for great food. It's a great compliment to the other neighborhood joints and is a consistent family favorite.

    I went there right after a disappointing burger at the Oak. I heard about this place from my mailman so I thought I would check it out.

    Okay. I'll say it. Thank Goddess for kid friendly bars. (hear that choir singing Hallelujah in the background?) Tippe & Drague (pronounced tip and drag) was a much needed (and much awaited!) addition to Beacon Hill. Pros: Have you checked out their beer selection?? Ridiculously awesome. Delicious food. Ample seating. Separate bar/dining area that ensures its family-friendly status. They engaged with our son, which was great. Clean. Nice big tables. Fast service. Friendly service. Good service. Plenty of parking. They open early weekends for football. Rolllllll Tiiiiiiiiiiide. Con: Everyone isn't an Alabama fan (WTH?) so you may only get ONE of the TV's tuned into the game.

  • Brian E.

    Doesn't look like much from the outside and it's a bit crowded (I'd guess room for 30-35 people max), but the food was tasty (if a tad on the expensive side) and the beer selection is awesome. The reuben and pulled pork were great, and the black bean nachos were pretty good too, though nothing tremendously special. We were there on a Saturday afternoon and the staff was friendly with the kids (especially after my 9-year old spontaneously fixed a clogged sink in the bathroom!) If you're a fan of dark beer, the DUO Brewing Company Poles Apart Barrel Aged Milk Stout is probably one of the top 3 stouts I've ever had, so shell out the extra money and try a glass.

    This was our first visit to Tippe and Drague. We wanted someplace near to where we live (Mt Baker) and pub-style. So we searched Yelp (thanks, Yelp!) and decided to make a visit to Tippe and Drague, which we've driven past once or twice. Where to start? What can we say? From the minute we walked in, the staff was attentive and helpful. We sat ourselves (as is the practice) and one of the staff came over immediately to ask if we would like the complimentary popcorn (of course). They were more than helpful with the beer menu, including bringing us samples of our potential beverage (scotch ale for me, stout for the hubby). The drinks arrived quickly, and they allowed us time to peruse both the drink and the food menu without being either over attentive or neglectful. We settled on the Stout-infused burger (hubby) and the French steak sandwich (me). Both were well made and plentiful without being excessive. The food arrived promptly, and all our needs were met without fuss. The steak sandwich was excellent, a wonderful blend of flavors with the earthiness of the mushrooms, the perfectly cooked steak, and the sharpness of the Gruyere and Bleu cheeses. I have only my hubby's word for it, but apparently the hamburger was excellent as well. The things we really appreciated: Staff attentiveness The family-friendly atmosphere (the 2-year-old girl at the next table was priceless) The complimentary popcorn The extensive beer list, with something for everyone's tastes ** We started with beers -- the Black Bear stout for him, the Scotch ale for me. He finished with a glass of pinot grigio, and I had the bourbon-barrel-aged cider from Victoria, BC (Canadians KNOW how to make cider). The bevvies were excellent. To the management and staff: Keep doing what you're doing. We felt welcomed and served without being overwhelmed. i We will most definitely be back!

    This gem was exactly what the neighborhood needed! Great beer & cider selection, friendly staff, and a nice atmosphere. The food menu looks promising, although I have to admit I didn't eat when I was there. Looking foward to more evenings spent at Tippe & Drague!

    Delicious brews on tap. And some yummy sandwiches. Crowded and lively. Hooray for Beacon Hill, we need a venue like this. The beer selection is awesome. The menu is relatively simple and straighforward, with a focus on grilled sandwiches. $10 for a grilled ham and cheese seemed a little pricey to me, but the sandwich was tasty (the ham was very good) and of a suitable size for sharing, so all in all it was very satisfying. Service was friendly and attentive, no small feat given how crowded it was at the time we were there. I probably give an extra star because I live in the neighborhood and have been waiting for these guys to open. But still, worth a visit.

    Realistically you should never go to this place, the owner immediately made me feel so uncomfortable I left without even touching my drink...I've lived two blocks away from this place for 10+ years and thought that this pub was a welcome change to the ave...I was completely wrong!!! I've been to the establishment three times and it took this one bad experience to deserve the time I spent to write this lengthy review...AVOID THIS PLACE...

    Wow - Beacon Hill is happening! This is a great spot - we went there twice this week, were happy and excited to see they have 1) an amazing tap list. I mean amazing. 2) yummy food! We had the Pimento Sandwich (seriously - this was delicious!!!!!!) a Reuben (I didn't taste it but it was gobbled up...) Chicken Quesadilla (yum) and a Greek salad (yum). 3) Wait staff is super nice and knowledgeable about the beer. 4) Great atmosphere - small, casual, funky, old style with clean bathrooms (yay!) 5) Football! Yes, don't tell anyone but they have the NFL package. We were there for Thursday night and Monday night football - and the crowd was loving it! 6) Unlimited free popcorn - extra yay! 7) Abundant free parking. This is my new fave.

    They serve breakfast, and breakfast is effing delicious. The scrambled egg quesadilla, both meat and veggie options, are awesome, and come with an assortment of condiments. Jesus, I love this pub. It really is a nice spot with a real sense of community and my favorite meal of the day.

    Tippe and Drague is a welcomed addition to B Hill. Great selection of brews and tasty food. I had an amazing pumpkin ale and grilled ham and cheese sandwich. I'll be going back again soon. Tippe also has a real friendly and welcoming atmosphere.

    They are still pretty new as I write this, but based on the beer selection alone they deserve 5 stars. If you have spent any time in the small community pubs in Ireland, this place is kind of a Seattle version of that. Old artwork and reclaimed furniture give it that old world charm. I'm looking forward to slugging back many a local micro brew in this cozy little pub.

    I was looking forward to this new local but have to say I wasn't impressed. We got a sampling of beers and maybe it's just me but every one tasted like IPA. Pilsner does not and should not taste like that. The server was nice but advised us that all the beer on tap is very hoppy. Sad really.

    Rotating draft list on tap. Went here when this place first opened..and it was empty. Now, it has become a neighborhood hot spot..but for a good reason. Beer is good, service is very good, have not had food. My only gripe is it attracts typical Seattle yuppies, but it's in Beacon Hill. Why is it that no one who actually lives in the neighborhood goes here...Tippe, Oak, Victrola (white people hang-outs are infiltrating a multi-ethnic melting pot...)

    The Tippe and Drague Alehouse is small and friendly. The beer selection is excellent and the food was pretty good. The complimentry popcorn is a nice touch and all the prices I delt with included tax already so we get nice round checks that are easy to split and/or pay cash. One of the servers felt a little green to the industry but that isn't a surpise with a new place like this. Sometimes they hire friends/family that need work but have never been a server. The atmosphere feels laid back and that is a good thing. I would recomend this Alehouse to others!

    My brother and I came in after hitting some golf balls at the Jefferson driving range down the street, and it turned out to be a great addition to Beacon Hill. My brother knew the owner, and had been wanting to give it a shot for awhile. Very small, but warm and inviting joint, a wide and varied beer menu that the owner told us changes often to keep things fresh, and to feature many of the great micro breweries from around the region. Great beer, and you gotta love the free popcorn. We didn't get a chance to try any of their food offerings, not a big menu, but some that I sure wouldn't mind trying with a cold brew in the future.

    Came here with my brother and had a great experience. I am a real beer fan and the rotating list was just fantastic. The atmosphere was warm, fairly mellow and the people were super kind. They play a Sunday football game on the tv, but it doesn't detract for those who are not into football. Good luck to your new venture!

    So glad this place moved into our neighborhood...but I'd recommend that folks from other neighborhoods get there! The beer selection is amazing for how small of a place it is, and we really like the food, from the free popcorn, to the fine salami & cheese plate, to the pimento cheese sandwich (which my Southern wife loves!), the reuben sandwich, and more.

    We waited over 10 years living on the hill for exactly this sort of establishment to open. Walking into the T&D is like walking into your BFF's house for a home-cooked meal, a pint of awesome local brew, and friendly, relevant conversation with your like-minded neighbors. It's a refreshing, genuine and entirely comfortable environment to get your food and drink on sans pretension or blowing the bank. It offers the true package in that it not only satisfies but truly exceeds expectations by way of food, beverage, service and ambiance. Finally a neighborhood joint that just gets it! 110%.

  • Drake K.

    Where to start? We eat out at least 4 times a week so have frequented a fair number of restaurants in Seattle. We love good food and definitely keep a running list of restaurants that are worth spending our $$ at again and again. We are also always looking out for pubs that have a good beer/cider selection. The Tippe and Drague satisfies all of our criteria and more. Not only is the food very good and beer/cider selection great, the staff and owners are always so friendly that they turn an enjoyable experience out into an awesome one. We always feel so welcome and taken care of and that, to us, is the hallmark of a neighborhood pub. We only wish that more folks would come in on football Sundays so we can really cheer out loud without feeling out of place!

  • Daniel T.

    Went to T & D on opening day after waiting a LONG LONG time to have a neighborhood alehouse. They had a great tap selection, the Mac and Cheese was delicious (as were the veggies that came with it) and the service was quick and friendly. They had literally been open for two and half hours and it already was running pretty seamlessly despite the place being mobbed. They had a pretty limited menu at the time, but I was very happy to see vegetarian options on the menu. I look forward to becoming a barfly at this place and so should you.

    I had to find a bar near home to watch the Seahawks game last Sunday (Seattle 24 - Washington 14). Walked into Tippe and Drague and had good beers, good service, great food (the Kale & Sausage soup was awesome!) and a wonderful time with total strangers watching a fantastic game. I'll be back even if there isn't a game on.

  • Eli M.

    Phenomenal service. Delicious unique beer. Great nachos if the popcorn isn't enough. We came here for Women's World Cup and could not have made a better choice. The friendliest most helpful staff managed the groups and kept to the fire capacity with such grace. Very willing to offer a sample of their eclectic beer menu. Thanks!

  • Suzy K.

    Are these the nicest people in the world? Yes, I think they are. They have a wonderful beer selection - something for everyone. I hear the food is quite good too. They don't allow anything more than popcorn on their back deck (which is huge!) so I will have to go back again to check out their menu. And I'm happy to bring repeat business!

    Very laid back place. Bartenders always give you eye contact which is good- it means they will remember you. You get a great selection of beer, free popcorn, and lots of food options. From healthy and light to hearty and filling- its all here! I always get the rotating cider, which is always a good cider choice. Entertainment is always available. Oh and there's trivia Tuesdays! How's that for a laid back pub? No competing for drinks or a seat, you can have your drink and be on your merry way. love it!

  • Laura B.

    Two years later, and this place is still amazing. The addition of the backyard adults-only beer garden is wonderful. The menu is consistent and the popcorn is abundant! This place is for beer lovers - I was there recently when everyone at a nearby table ordered wine... very strange choice. Check their Facebook page for updates and hours - for example they are closing tomorrow for Labor Day.

  • Marissa J.

    A great mellow local spot. We had a bottle of wine that was a yummy Cabernet for only $18. I had a delicious spinach salad and my friend had a lot of options even as a gluten free vegetarian. It's inexpensive with a relaxed environment. Great beer selection too with local and organic options. If I lived in Seattle I think I would be a regular here.

  • M M.

    I love this place! They treat us like family and the food, drink, and ambiance are perfect for a casual, friendly meal. Trivia nights are hilarious and the back garden is gorgeous! The organic spinach and fennel salad is pretty much to die for.

  • Marco V.

    I'm sorry to have to write a negative review, and to give this place only one star, but here is why: Although the service is great and the menu is fantastic - try the large nacho plate, it was great! - the back patio is infested with rats. Not mice. Rats. These rats come out from under the decking and will actually run around under your feet! Eventually, members of my party were stomping their feet, and chasing the rats to make them go away, but, THE RATS Weren't FRIGHTENED! If the rats are running around like they own the place in the back patio ... what else do they get into?

    Really awesome staff, great selection of beers and ciders, and good food to boot. Tippe and Drague is the perfect neighborhood bar. Be aware that they host trivia on Tuesday nights so it will be very busy those nights. Also, definitely go to trivia! Just make sure you get there about 40 minutes early to snag a spot.

  • Jenny D.

    I have come here for trivia before on Tuesdays at 8pm. Everyone there on Tuesday evenings is playing trivia, and it gets crowded so come early to get a good seat. In fact, if you're not playing trivia you may not be seated. More recently I visited Tippe and Drague on a sunny day and discovered they have a beautiful fully fenced DOG-FRIENDLY patio out back. The patio is fully fenced and has garden tables and benches for ultimate relaxation. The tree out back is one of the prettiest I've seen. Leaves are incredible! I could sit out there for hours.... Dogs are not allowed inside so you will have to go around to get out back, but since it's fully fenced they don't have a problem if your pup is off leash so long as s/he is not bothering other patrons. Tippe and Drague has quite possibly the best craft beer selection in all of Seattle. Especially if you're an IPA fan... amazing!

    Great selection of beers right in the neighborhood. Biggest compaint I have; it is so very small and trying to enjoy a couple drinks with kids around is just not my idea of relaxing. The waitstaff is very available, ready to serve and offer samples. We want to try to the outside area as soon as possible.

    This place is one of our favorites on the hill. Great atmosphere, always friendly service and consistently great food. The popcorn when you sit down is a favorite and they even had a sippy cup for my son!

    After being left a bit disappointed by Oak, I was really looking forward to trying the alternative beer enthusiast watering hole, which was Tippe and Drague. Having finally checked it out, I can safely say that if you're trying to choose between the two, go HERE. The draft beer list is much more extensive, and there's the delicious free popcorn! Beyond popcorn, the food is also superior - although fair warning, the pulled pork sandwich is the spiciest I've ever had, so if you aren't used to spice, get something else. My fiance's burger, on the other hand, was perfectly delicious - in fact I stole it from him and made him finish my spicy sandwich. Even more importantly, I really liked the vibe and the service here. Rather than feeling like you've been transplanted to Cap Hill, this bar feels like you've come over to have a few drinks at someone's house. The crowd was really diverse, too, rather than being limited to all the negative connotations one usually makes with hipsters. I could bring my parents here just as easily as I would bring a group of friends. Oh, and our server was super nice and prompt as well. What more could you want?

    French steak sandwich again. Not sure how, but that thing was even better than before. Toasty, chewy, buttery Grand Central baguette, sautéed mushrooms, slices of steak, bleu cheese and generous amount of gooey gruyere. Inhaled it.

  • Ike A.

    This is my long-overdue five star review of Tippe and Drague. A lot has changed on Beacon Hill over the 20-some years since I first got to know the neighborhood, but the opening of Tippe and Drague is second best only to getting a Light Rail station. (The fact that both are an easy walk from my home ensures they stay on the top of my list.) We first Tipped and Dragued a couple weeks after they opened. Knowing what the inside of the building was like before it renovated, we were stunned when we walked in. For all the work that had been done to turn it into an alehouse, there was nothing in there that looked brand new. And I mean that in the best possible way. Everything about Tippe and Drague feels like it's been a part of the fabric of the neighborhood forever. It's the comfortable "third place" that urban planners stress are what connect us to where we live and the others who live there. Whether we go in for a couple grownup pints without our almost-teenaged child, or we take him with us for some food, we also feel welcomed not only by the owners and staff, but by the neighbors we see there. The tap list changes constantly and it is for my money the most interesting one in Seattle. I love going there and discovering new beers from small breweries that you simply won't find on tap at a larger establishment. The food is solidly good pub fare, often with a little twist to it, such as the pear slices on the chicken sandwich. The popcorn is free and endless. It's ridiculously easy to give Tippe and Drague a five star review. It's exactly what a neighborhood alehouse should be.

    These guys are amazing! So nice, always feels like the staff is happy to see me (gosh, thanks!). Food is delish, beers are sooo yummy (and they're always rotating taps!). Love this classy, neighborhood watering hole. Back patio is like a dream on a summer day.

    My boyfriend and I just moved to Beacon hill and as a bit of a beer snob, I wanted to make sure to try this place. I was warned that in this part of beacon hill, there are really only two beer places and most told me that Trippe and Drague was the better one. I'm glad to say that they were right. the beer menu is always changing which I like. I understand people having a go to beer and those people should make a practice of keeping that beer at home. I like to try something new when I'm out. Based on what they told me, each time a keg blows they tap a keg from a new brewery or at least a new kind of beer, so things are always changing! if you like to play with a variety of beer, than this will delight you just like it did me. Our server was so friendly and helpful. When I couldn't made a decision on food she suggested something and also suggested something that would taste better after a few beers. My friend who had come with me had a stake sandwich, and it was awesome! I had a bite but kept to my beer until she and I were singing mariachi songs. At that point, the grilled BP&J&B (that's peanut butter and jelly and bacon) sounded amazing and really topped the night off well. Totally my new watering hole! It's great for watching games and is really friendly! I know this place serves brunch as well but the last time my boyfriend and I went there for brunch there was a Seahawks game on and the place was packed. We decided we didn't want to deal with it... Ok I was hung over and didn't want to deal with it. Still, the menu looked interesting.

    My, how the mighty have fallen :-( To be clear: the beer/ciders are fantastic, the food is great, and the staff is overall incredible. However, I have to write this update given a recent interaction with one of the owners. For the last year, my boyfriend and I were there at least there once a week, and a few weeks ago took a friend to check it out. The kids at a nearby table were coughing, and it was textbook for pertussis (whooping cough). I'm not WebMD'ing this; I've been a healthcare professional/provider for the last 19 years. Even my boyfriend, and the woman at the next table!, commented on it. On our way out, I waited a couple minutes to discreetly tell the owner, and was completely rebuffed. "They've seen a doctor" (this doesn't change my assessment, BTW...) "they're fine. They've been vaccinated." Okay. I dropped it and left. The following week, she brought it up with me. I again said that it sure sounded suspicious to me, but left it at that. People can listen to what you tell them, or not. I had said all I wanted to say--I'm not arguing about it. She's been quite distant with us since then--she'll serve us, but she certainly wasn't friendly like she'd previously been. I attempted to clear the air with her last week, and she was flat-out nasty. She "can't believe I don't care what a doctor says", I have a "horrible bedside manner" (she's never seen me practice), she can't believe I "got in her face". I apologized that it came across that way--again, I was trying to be discrete. Mind you: I'm a regular customer there, and my boyfriend and I eat, drink, are friendly with other patrons, and tip well. The conversation devolved to the point where she became verbally abusive, at which point I told her I'd cash out the bartender (the always-awesome Wieber) and leave. She told me I could just leave. So I did. I certainly won't be back. It's unfortunate that this whole scenario went down the way it did. First of all: we are adults, not 15-year-olds. You get angry at people, you talk it out, you get over it. The was ONE occurrence where I said something, out of concern for public safety, and I did it as quietly as possible. Second, this woman owns a business where I routinely spend a good amount of money; it seems highly counterintuitive to be so rude to a regular customer (who has brought in over a dozen other people in my 1 year attending this business). It's just such baffling behavior, and smacks of something a whole lot deeper than a patron saying something that bugged you. I don't know. I do know what it's like to work with people all day, every day, and customer service is paramount--even when you think people are full of it, you're still polite to them, because that's your job. Any business would do well to remember this, as unappreciated customers will go elsewhere.

    Stopped in here after reading the reviews on yelp. I really enjoyed this stop. There was a good variety of beers on tap, a lot of them were local. The food did not disappoint. For an app we had the chips and guacamole which was excellent. It came with pico de gallo and salsa. For dinner I had the special which was Greek pasta with chicken which was delicious. Also at our table was the steak sandwich and the Mac and cheese. Both dishes were very good. The staff was friendly and helpful. If you are in the area, I would recommend trying this place out!

    Great Beer, Great Service, Delicious Sandwiches at a great price! What more need to be said? Oh and free yummy popcorn! When I bring people not from the neighborhood here they always say they wish they had something like this in their neck of the woods. The beer is a rotating selection that you typically wouldn't find at other more maintstream establishment but always delicious! Check their website out for the latest selection. The service is always friendly, attentive and really makes it feel like a neighborhood bar. Who i think is the owner is always helpful in deciding what you want to drink and if it isn't busy often lets you sample something before getting a full order.

    My two daughters just moved into the neighborhood and we made our first foray to find a spot for dinner on Sunday night. We decided on the Tippe and Drague after reading the reviews and because it was very close to their apartment. From the moment we walked in, we knew we had come to the right place. Welcoming staff and homey environment. Had one of the best sandwiches (turkey BLT) I have ever had anywhere ... and all of us enjoyed our meals, the beer and the environment. We will be coming back - a lot!

    Wow! What a cute little bar in Beacon. It appears to be brand new yet has a old town feel about it. I didn't really try their food, but I had a beer at the bar. They give you popcorn to munch on. I had just missed their Trivia Night, but I bet it would have been a blast to play. The bartenders were friendly and seemed to really get along with each other. I can't wait to come back to try some food and their Sunday Brunch.

    Don't judge a book by its cover. I was really skeptical considering beacon hill is not really my scene. But this place sure fooled me. Reuben sandwich was amazing. The bread was toasted perfectly and had that slight chewiness to it which made the bread taste so good. Came with a side vinaigrette salad which was extremely fresh. No wilted greens here! Mimosa was crisp and bubbly just to my liking. Free popcorn was so fresh and addicting I couldn't stop eating it. My friend got a local beer and said it was a good pick. I'm Pretty impressed for a pub. You can tell by the food they really pick high quality ingredients and the presentation is clean. This has nothing to do with the food but they have Extremely clean bathrooms and staff is attentive. Came here for a Monday dinner, lot of laptops out. Good spot for after work work.

    This pub hits it square on the head. A wonderfully tended tap list with something to please a range of beer tastes. The ambience is that of a neighborhood hangout, a place I'd gladly become a regular at if I lived nearby. Nice to see the free popcorn offered, even though there is a kitchen. We hung out for a couple of hours with our kids, played cards, and enjoyed a quality meal. Great cheese, cured meat, olives!
