You may have noticed the hammers and saws out at our McMenamins location on Broadway. Maybe you've heard the thud of a nail gun, smelled a hint of sawdust in the air.
Yep, we're remodeling.
Let's get this out of the way first: Broadway is still open during this exciting time of expansion. We're still here to serve up tasty Northwest pub grub and fine, handcrafted McMenamins brews (what, you think we'd deprive you of your Hammerhead?). Heck, you'll probably barely even notice the work going on.
But, by the time we're done, the new Broadway Pub will be bigger, more comfortable, and have a revamped, improved menu that will complement our already popular fare.
What are we adding? Well, a heated outdoor patio for starters, plus more seating all around and a touch more room all around! And our new and extensive menu will include hand-tossed pizzas!
Next time you're shopping at Lloyd Center or on the way to the Rose Garden to see a concert or a game, stop by the Broadway pub and check out the progress yourself. In the meantime, check out our slideshow of photo updates – it's a cool way to follow along as the new spaces get bigger and better!
Give it up for St. Arnold, the patron saint of brewers! His miracle was a tankard of ale that never ran dry… Put him on the invite list. The Centzon-Totochtin (“Infinite Rabbits”) was an Aztec group that represented the ways humans are affected by intoxication. At the Grand Lodge, the mosaics in the basement hallways were inspired by the work of Spanish artist Antonio Gaudi. McMenamins has a full-time historian on staff. He collects stories, photos, anecdotes and more about McMenamins spots, past and present. What was the very first McMenamins pub, opened by Mike and Brian McMenamin? The Barley Mill on SE Hawthorne in Portland. “Wine is bottled poetry.” -- Robert Louis Stevenson What’s the name of the Kennedy brewery? The Concordia Brewery, named for the surrounding neighborhood. “Wine is bottled poetry.” -- Robert Louis Stevenson How many McMenamins are there in the Seattle area? Three – Mill Creek, Six Arms and Queen Anne. Queen Elizabeth I, daughter of Henry VIII, was said to be able to drink any man under the table. You show ‘em, Betsy! Does each McMenamins pub brew beer? Nope – only our brewpubs and breweries do. They supply our other spots. “Give me a woman who truly loves beer and I will conquer the world.” – Kaiser Wilhelm II Which beer is our best-selling ale? Hammerhead, of course. Have a pint or two today! “We borrowed golf from Scotland as we borrowed whiskey. Not because it is Scottish, but because it is good.” -- Horace Hutchinson
