The walk was nice -- we didn't go straight up the hill to Phinney Ridge, but instead meandered through the 'hood.
The pub was about half full, with groups of people talking quietly. We found a table in a corner, ordered a couple of pints as well as a black bean burger. The menu wasn't huge -- burgers and salads, mainly -- but the food was well presented and tasty. We also noticed that there's a good-looking brunch menu as well. One drawback, as far as we're concerned: they're "family friendly" ... but that's what some folks want, so there you go.
The staff was friendly, checking in on us with just the right frequency. Odd customer story: we witnessed a group of adults who all seemed to be trying not to pay their share of a tab.... ("well, *I* didn't order the fries ..."; "umm, were you going to chip in for my burger since you had half?"; etc.) and leaving very little tip.
The walls of the inside of the women's restroom featured a collection of old Life magazine covers, I was particularly fond of this one:

I'm not sure we should be EATING during our these walks ... I think we should establish that we have a drink and possibly share an appetizer ... but we have a long way to go.
