fiddler's inn

everything is pretty good.. i've only been in when its fairly crowded. i remember this "pub" when it was just a bar and we used to come in after softball games. the food and beer is all good. sometimes the ambiance feels a bit aloof with a hippy wannabe/hipster/yuppie all rolled into one vibe. i'm not that old, but i miss thegoodold days where one guy at the bar would talk to another guy at the other end of the bar, even if they didn't know each other. its more a reflection of what seattle has become i suppose and the same could be said of the wedgwood inn up the road.

great neighborhood pub. this is one of the sister pubs to the latona pub, a favorite of mine, which is what lured me up to wedgewood to give fiddler's a try. walking in the door my first impression was that this is a rustic and comfortable pub and a great place for locals to hang. my second impression was one of surprise, because it has two screens that were playing the huskie-byu football game and the place sounded like a sports bar--which was not what i was looking for. fortunately there was only about 4 minutes left to play and half the bar left when uw lost. if it was a warm night we would have eaten outside-but being labor day weekend, it was cloudy--as you'd expect. my third impression, again a surprise, was that while fiddler's has some great beer and a few wines, it doesn't have a full bar--like latona pub.
that said, we enjoyed our chicken coconut curry soup, chicken quesadilla. and potstickers. the place has agoodvibe and service was also good.
