The Rock - Renton

The Rock at the Landing in Renton is one of my favorite hangouts for catching up on piles of work without being at my desk. The booths in the bar are spacious and the place is 75% windows making it a rare and bright bar space to hang out in.

The Suicide Blonde is my favorite beer and paired with the Mozzarella Garlic Bread is just about as close to perfect bar food as it gets. When something more is called for, the dry rub Chipotle Wings are a welcomed addition to the party.

The only (serious) downfall is the very long wait between ordering and delivery to your table. This is going to sound funny but if you're really hungry, this isn't the place for you. We were told that the food is run in batches through the ovens so depending on how busy they are and how backed up, you could be waiting quite a while. We're talking as much as 20 - 30 minutes. The food is good, just be prepared to wait.

Still one of my favorites but I'm very aware of when it works for me and when I should find somewhere else to feed my hunger.
