The Skeptical Chymist

Cute little Irish Pub in a strip mall. They did a good job making it look old!  Food is just okay but it is a fun place to drink.  Might go back.

Skeptical Chymist has become one of the favorite spots for me and my circle of friends. Their selection of beer and other drinks is pretty solid, and the prices are fair. I've only ordered food once, and it was decent and reasonably priced.

I usually come on Friday or Saturday nights. They often have live music and only a small to moderate size crowd, which is great for providing atmosphere without the waits and the cluster. They have couches and a dartboard over in the corner which is what we usually do when we are there.

The decoration and theme is great. Dim lighting with a relaxing vibe. I've never been on a Sunday during football season, but apparently its a fun crowd and judging by the decor, if you're a Seahawks fan, a great place to watch the game in company of fellow fans.

Half-and-half is Half Guinness, Half Harp. The best pint in the world, especially if you don't have the room for one of each. :)

+ Makes a great time kill while waiting for your tires to change at nearby discount tire.
+ awesome party spot for green day.

+ great corned beef and cabbage. served with mashed potatoes and comes in either lunch (smaller) or dinner (heartier) portion sizes
+ beef wellington is *the* original hot pocket. was that tenderloin?!
# sorry, but the wellington's beef was not the freshest
+ big-screen with projector prominently featured for great event viewing
+ excellent alternative to twin peaks across the lot
+ super-friendly staff, always helpful and accommodating

I"m really glad to renew my review after last time. One of my biggest pet peeves is if you can't cook a fried egg without burning it.
note well: egg was not retested for this review.

# patio seating without noice cancellation phones and individual wireless mics makes conversation impossible against the roar of frontage road, 30 feet away
