Fun craft-beer pub with mini golf and games; great for groups and casual hangs, but expect a compact space and a basic comfort-food menu.
Flatstick Pub delivers solid entertainment value as a casual games-and-beer destination with friendly, attentive staff and convenient waterfront location. However, basic pub fare with inconsistent execution and cramped layout during peak times prevent a higher grade. Best enjoyed for the mini golf and rotating local taps rather than as a dining destination.
This is a high-energy pub where mini golf, board games, and rotating Washington beers set a playful tone. Staff are frequently described as friendly and helpful, and the scene leans lively with sports on TV. One guest summed it up as great for casual hangs but warned that the space can feel cramped at peak times. The cooking is straightforward pub fare: pizzas, wings, burgers, and a few salads. Expect comfort-first dishes that pair well with beer rather than chefy flourishes. Most diners focus on games and drinks, though a few note waits for pizza or the occasional overdone bite; if food is your main event, consider eating before or keep to simple crowd-pleasers like the pretzel and pepperoni pizza. Families do visit, and kids tend to enjoy the mini golf and table games. The menu has child-friendly options like pizza, pretzel, and burgers, plus a basic salad. It is lively rather than quiet, so bring children who handle noisy, upbeat spaces well.
