LTD Bar and Grill is a relatively new bar to the Fremont area and I give it great remarks. It is by far the best sports bar in Fremont and finally is an alternative to George and Dragon bar in Fremont which has a tendency to show lots of Soccer and Rugby games. LTD has a a lot of high quality TVs that are easily seen from anywhere in the bar. The food is good for your typical bar munchies of burgers, fries, and sandwiches. The shuffleboard and pool tables are in great condition with minimal lines if any on regular nights. Another plus of LTD is that they hve ordered UFC fights and not charged a cover. If youre looking for a place to watch a game, I highly recommend stopping in for beer and dinner, you wont be dissapointed!!

Growing up in Bellevue, I found out about Rock Bottom Brewery through my older brother when it had first opened up. I had stopped in for a drink during the summer and fell in love. Living less than a mile away, it became the local watering whole for 2 years. The Rock Bottom Mug Club is quite incredible, and if you go enough it is definitely well worth it. $2 Tuesdays is always a hit from 4-9 for cheap mugs of DELICIOUS beer. As you gain more visits, you get prizes ranging from hats, t-shirts, barbeque tool set, growler, and then you get your name on a keg plaque at 50 visits. Also, for every ten visits, you gain $10 in Rock Bottom club cash. What seperates this chain from others is how good the food is along with the beer. The monthly beer tappings are great also as Beer Master Brian Young perfects them. Strongly recommend the Big Batch Wheat if you stop in there for a Beer and like a good Hefeweizen. In my opinion, it is second to none on a hot summer day! I’m getting thirsty thinking about it…

Taphouse is similar to Rock Bottom but has more of a hip type atmoshpere feeling. It doesnt have the same setup as Rock Bottom does in the sense that it doesnt have many teelevisions. It is more of a formal place to eat and have drinks but does have a great happy hour. obviously the biggest upside of Taphouse is that variety of beers they have on tap. They offer over 160 beers at all times on tap which makes it easily to find a good pairing to any kind of food you order. The location is great in The Galleria located by Rock Bottom Brewery and across the street from California Pizza Kitchen. The free parking garage allows for easy access to the restaurant without any headaches.
Overall, good place to meet up with friends for a few drinks to catch up or for a happy hour after work.

Flo restaurant is cool with a great atmosphere. I like the layout of the restaurant however the food is quite pricy. The service is good too but the mood is really dull. Flo is a good place to go if you’re on a date but if you’re just going to stop in some place for sushi with some friends, there are other places in Bellevue that will be faster and save on your pocketbook. The restaurant has room for a lot of occupants and has cool dishware and layout. The staff is nice and good about checking in on their patrons. Parking can be a tad bit frustrating as it is only street parking that I know of, and with the city growing so fast, it’s only going to get worse. If you’re looking for an upscale Sushi restaurant for a date, Flo is one I would recommend.

Great, hidden gem of a place for Bellevue. Tucked away at the top of the Bellevue Galleria, it is not a visible place to ongoers by foot. I feel this is their biggest disadvantage. The food at Yama is great and so is the atmosphere. Yama has a small bar section where you can wait if you are early for a reservation or waiting for your table to open. Yama has a table that holds approximately 25 people, which is great for a BIG party. Also a happy hour that is second to none in the Bellevue area. Would love to go back next time I make it to the Eastside.

It’s an alright place to stop off for a beer and hang out with some friends before or after a game but the food is not that great. The portions are relatively small and overpriced. The good thing they do have is $2 high-life’s every day, all the time. I would much rather go to The Elysian if I had the choice between the two.

Besides the eye-candy throughout the whole establishment, the food is subpar and the drinks a bit overpriced. With that said, the atmosphere and comfortability of the restaurant is great. Ranging from having some drinks with some friends or going to watch a big sporting event on the lowering projector, it’s a great place to meet up. If th-ey were willing to offer more of a happy hour with more food options and at a cheaper price, I’d be all for it. They need to follow after the others in the area like a McCormicks and Shmicks or a Z-Tejas.
