DRINKING & NIGHTLIFE
Low-key, residential Fremont is home to a nice variety of bars, taverns
and brewpubs. The Green Lake area is all aflutter with new bars and res-
taurants. Some highlights are below, but make sure to wander further
afield if you have time.
Fremont
FREMONT BREWING
BREWPUB
(
www.fremontbrewing.com
;
3409 Woodland Park Ave N; 11am-7pm Mon-Wed, to 8pm Thu-Sat,
to 6pm Sun; 26)
No conventional bar (this, after all, is Fremont!), this new brewery
inaugurated in 2008 has what is called an 'Urban Beer Garden': you sit at a couple of
communal tables in the brewery and enjoy samples of what are quickly being hailed as
some of the finest microbrews in the city.
Pets and kids are welcome and you can bring your own food.
HALE'S ALES BREWERY
BREWPUB
(
www.halesbrewery.com
;
4301 Leary Way NW; 11:30am-11pm; 40)
Hale's makes fantast-
ic beer, notably its ambrosial Cream Ale. Its flagship brewpub in Fremont feels like a
business-hotel lobby, but it's worth a stop. There is a self-guided tour leaving near the
entrance.
GEORGE & DRAGON PUB
PUB
(
www.georgeanddragonpub.com
;
206 N 36th St; 11am-2am; 40)
Attracting every Brit
within a 10-mile radius, the George & Dragon is a definitive English boozer where the
'football' on TV is that 11-a-side game you play with your feet, 'chips' are rectangular
and fried and not remotely French, and Tetley's is a dark, warm beer as opposed to a
brand of tea.
