The Old Pequliar

Buffalo style chicken wings were very tasty.  Coming from Buffalo it's often hard to find good "buffalo style wings" across the country.  While the Olde Pequliar isn't serving true blue Buffalo wings their wings are very, very good.  Cooked perfectly with a nice breaded crust that wasn't too 'bready' and a great hot sauce the wings are accompanied by celery and carrots. Guinness on tap combined with an observant, friendly and attentive staff make this place a thumbs up option.

You know you are in foodie paradise when even the dive bars have things on their menu like lamb sliders.

It is a great local place to drop in and have a bite and a beer. They have a pretty good beer selection and I absolutely recommend the waffle fries and any of the sliders.  The service has been pretty spotty in the past but it has picked up in my last few visits.

I've been to this place a couple of times late night. It's the closest bar to our apartment building and it's on the way home from everything else in Ballard. These two things are also the only reasons I come in every once in a while. The bartenders are friendly, they've got some nice beers, but that's about it. I've tried some appetizers but I can't say I was impressed or that I'd order them again. Then again, it was late at night on a weekday so check out some other reviews about the food to get a better idea.

I haven't gotten a chance to hang out on the patio on a sunny afternoon but when I've walked passed it it always seems to have a nice crowd. I'm ready for the summer to arrive and when it's here I'll check out the patio some time :)
