Things to Do At The Northlake Best Beer and Pizza House
Pizza could be into the mainstream but there are some good things you can actually do while munching on it. Especially if you are enjoying pizza at a Northlake best Beer and Pizza house, there are unbelievably cool things you can actually do and enjoy. You think all you do is smell pizza around the place then you better read through. Your next pizza experience will be more exciting after these simple yet useful ideas below.
1. You’re eating pizza, of course! You are missing out on your full experience if you don’t get to taste the pizza that the restaurant serves. The pizza is the star and you have to taste at least one of the many flavors the place offers. You are in a pizza house after all, so might as well enjoy the delectable pizza first.
2. Eat some great food other than pizza. If you want something apart from the pizza, you can get special burgers and sandwiches. You can help yourself with a salad as well if you want to have some. If you want some chicken nibblers, you can have some as well.
3. Grab a bottle of beer or two. Beer is the best drink you can ever have with your pizza. Especially since you are in a beer and pizza house, you can have both at their best.
4. Have fun with friends. Eating pizza with your friends is absolutely a moment you can’t trade for anything. Fun times only happen rarely especially when you are all working and don’t even have much time to go out.
5. Meet new acquaintances. Aside from seeing your friends again, you can also see and get to know new people. You can increase the number of your friends while having fun at the beer and pizza house.
6. Watch football with pizza on the side. The best pizza houses in Northlake hold special events. Especially when the Husky football season comes to end, most pizza houses provide wide screens. They show football games on the screens while their customers enjoy their food and drinks all at the same time. If you get lucky enough, you can even spot your favorite players right inside the pizza house.
7. Order pizza to go. Because the fun doesn’t end on your last bite of pizza in the pizza house, you can order and bring your favorite flavor home. After a good time at the pizza house, you order something for yourself or your family at home.
There is so much more you can do when you dine at a Northlake best Beer and Pizza house. Although you can’t bring in your young kids over with you, you can still get the chance to let them taste the delicious pizza that the place offers. All you have to do is enjoy some more while you are in the pizza house. You can feel at home while you are in the place. Take pleasure in that experience; having pizza and beer like no other.
Things to Bring When Going to Seattle Best Beer and Pizza House
It would be so easy to spot a
pizza house in Seattle as there are a lot of them around the region. You can
actually go to one in just a matter of minutes. If you want to visit a Seattle Best Beer and Pizza House, you
should remind yourself that you need to bring some important things with you.
Yes, you read that right. Here’s a shortlist of the most important things you
need to prepare before going out to enjoy at a Beer and Pizza house in Seattle.
Bring Yourself and an ID. Of
course, who else should be there to taste the flavors of pizza and beer in the
first place? It had to be you, right? And, since it is a beer house as well,
you will need to be an adult to get inside the place. You will need
identification, so never ever forget to bring an ID or you’ll end up being left
outside.
Also, bring yourself wearing the most
comfortable but appropriate outfit to the beer and pizza house. You don’t need
to be all flashy or way too underdressed for the place. Just a simple casual
will do. Remember that you are going to some place where there is really great
food so you might want to reconsider on wearing some more comfortable garment
for dining. You don’t want to end up seen with a bulging belly after a
sumptuous meal.
Bring a Company. Enjoy your pizza
and beer with friends or family. Admit it; eating is more fun when you’re with
friends or families, right? If you can, set a date when everyone is free for
some really good pizza and beer. You can invite everybody that you would like
to go. Or some people that you haven’t seen or talked to in a while. Catching
up with everybody is also great over pizza and beer.
Bring Some Extra Cash. If the beer
and pizza house promises to give your good food and they actually do, you could
order as much as you want. You will definitely need a good sum for that. Of
course, when the place offers really great dishes in their menu, you won’t be
able to help it but order something for take out!
Bring your Phone. In case you
would want to invite more friends or family members to join you, your phone
will be a handy tool to reach them. Also, you can use your camera phone to
catch your precious moments while you are enjoying your pizza and beer with the
people who are special to you. You can take pictures or even videos to keep
your good memories from the beer and pizza house.
These are only a few things that
you need to bring when you go out and eat at a Seattle Best Beer and Pizza House. If you bring everything on the
list, you will surely enjoy your experience at the beer and pizza house. For
sure, there are a lot more things you want to add. If you want to add some more
on the list, you definitely can!

It Will Soon Be Legal to Fill a Growler with Cider
It Will Soon Be Legal to Fill a Growler with Cider
Soon you can actually fill this vessel with cider. Photo via Seattle Cider Company's Facebook page.
Washington's cider industry may be growing like crazy, but the laws governing this most enjoyable beverage remain a weird patchwork of beer and wine crossover. However state lawmakers have just reconciled the cider trend with another recent development in local drinking: our obsession with growler fills.
The Northwest Cider Association spread the word recently that SB 6442, newly passed and awaiting signature by Governor Inslee, will make it legal to tote a growler to a bar or bottle shop and fill it with cider.
Beer aficionados like growlers because they're economical, reduce the waste of single-use bottles and cans, and lets you enjoy the creations of small-batch brewers who don't bottle their wares from the comfort of your couch. These days even Bartell's is installing growler fill stations in its new stores. It's a huge win for anyone interested in exploring our local ciders; while researching this cider feature last year, I encountered a host of alluring creations that aren't available by bottle or can.
According to the Northwest Cider Association release, a similar law in Oregon increased draft cider sales. Keep an eye on local bottle shops and bars that do growler fills to see if more ciders appear on tap.

Tim McGraw and Lady Antebellum Headline Watershed Music Festival 2014
Tim McGraw and Lady Antebellum Headline Watershed Music Festival 2014
Seattle lacks a country music identity, but it certainly doesn't lack country music fans. Evidence of the city's twangy passion can be found in the ticket sales for Watershed Music Festival, the Gorge's annual country music bash. Last year's fest sold out in relively short order, and this year's lineup looks to be even more loaded with country stars.
Tim McGraw and Lady Antebellum head to the Gorge August 1–3 to headline Watershed 2014. McGraw can boast about having eleven consectutive albums debut at #1 on the country charts (all of which peaked top 5 on the Billboard 200) and he makes up one-half of country's royal couple (along with his wife, Faith Hill). Lady Antebellum might be the genre's most popular group act, having sold over 10 million albums (country artists can still sell albums!), and cleaned up at the 2011 Grammys winning five trophies including Song and Record of the Year for the hit "Need You Now." The weekend also features the likes of Jake Owen and Billy Currington, with more artists yet to be annouced.
Tickets for Watershed Music Festival 2014 go on sale Thursday, March 13 at 10am on livenation.com. Three-day festival passes cost $175. Oddly, unlike Sasquatch! Festival at the Gorge, camping for Watershed is sold separately, and runs $175–$375.
Initial Watershed Music Festival 2014 Lineup:
Tim McGraw / Lady Antebellum / Jake Owen / Billy Currington / Eli Young Band / Joe Diffie / Randy Houser / Justin Moore / Kip Moore / Cassadee Pope / Eli Young Band / Chase Rice / Dallas Smith
Watershed Music Festival 2014
Aug 1–3, Gorge Amphitheatre (George, WA), $175

A Fiendish Conversation with Dan Webb
A Fiendish Conversation with Dan Webb
Dan Webb gives dead trees a gorgeous second life. The Seattle artist’s amazing ability to make wood transcend its own nature and look like other materials is on full display in Bellevue Art Museum's Fragile Fortress: The Art of Dan Webb, the first solo museum exhibit of master wood carver's works. His apt hands can transform redwood into cloth, fir into a mylar balloon, or maple into sneaker canvas. Fragile Fortress opens Friday, March 7, and runs through June 15.
For our latest Fiendish Conversation, we talked to Webb about accepting his love for carving, the reuniting of pieces in Fragile Fortress, and the serendipity of the wood he uses.
How did you first get involved with woodworking and using that as a way to express your artwork?
I guess I can’t really remember not being involved in making something out of wood. I think I made stuff out of wood before I made stuff out of Legos, you know? It just always felt really natural and felt like something that I was good at, and it took me a long time to not fight that. I felt like I had to be a painter or I had to be, you know, just a bunch of other things that you’re supposed to be if you go to art school and you read Art Forum. But by the time I kind of came back and really rediscovered it, it was like rediscovering an old friend, it just felt really comfortable and good.
So just like a kind of natural connection with the material itself?
Yeah, I mean that sounds really romantic and corny, but it really is that. There’s a thing about just not overthinking it and making it complicated.
What aspect of the Fragile Fortress exhibit are you most excited about?
I like that a whole bunch of work from different shows is in the same room together. Some of it was actually meant to be in the same room together and it never were, like the piece that SAM bought called Shroud and the piece that the Trues bought called Fortress. So getting those things back together again is pretty great.
My favorite thing about your work is how you’re able to make the wood appear like other materials in a very photorealistic sense. I Love You, for example, really has that balloon sheen despite being carved from a fur tree. How much goes into picking a certain wood in order to achieve the appearance of a certain other material?
None. I guess my approach is really more arte povera. One of the reasons that I think I’ve been able to carve wood successfully for so long is because it’s so available here, and what I carve are really cast-offs from building projects and occasionally trees that people give me. There’s just a whole lot of serendipity in finding what the wood looks like underneath the weathered exterior, underneath the bark. It’s not really me trying to say this piece of old-growth fur would look most like a mylar balloon from a kid’s birthday party, I don’t know that that wood actually does represent that the best, but I know that there’s kind of a clash of those materials; it really does transform from wood to a balloon in a sort of surprising way. So I suppose it’s not totally satisfying to hear, that a lot of it’s just using whatever I have at hand, but that’s really pretty much what it is.
No, that’s interesting in its own right. Are there any young, up-and-coming local artists you feel like people should check out?
I really like the work of Sol Hashemi, Jason Hirata, Anne Fenton, Sam Wildman, Matt Browning, Anthony Sonnenberg, and Peter Scherrer. Of course if you asked for a list of artists that wasn't age specific, there would be a whole lot more people on it. There are a lot of good artists that live here.
If you weren’t an artist is there any other line of work you think you might have wanted to pursue or were interested in?
I think I’d probably be an architect. Before I was a full-time artist I was a carpenter and I was really satisfied doing that. It was really a great job, but it didn’t satisfy all the aspects of what being an artist satisfies. Being an artist is just more multifaceted.
You kind of spoke to this a little bit regarding the prevalence of wood around here, but how do you feel like Seattle has influenced your artwork?
I get asked that a lot, and I guess the truth of the matter is that it’s had a very clear influence on me. I’m a real believer that that should be how that goes. I mean, I feel like if you lived in New Orleans there should be a way about that place that influences the food that you eat and the accent that you have, and if you live in New York I think the same thing. If you live in L.A., I hope that that place influences you. There has been a way that it’s influences me, I think one of the ways that’s surprising is not in a way that extends craft-centric necessarily, but in the way that it’s allowed me to be less alone. This isn’t an especially huge art hub, and carving has taken me so long to be good at, that I could really take on a 20-year project to learn how to do what I do, and fail in public a lot and feel like that was okay; that was fine. So I’d say that that’s not probably the first thing that people would think about, but it’s been a really nice fringe benefit.
