Tap House Grill features the best in summer beer

June 11, 2011

The highly anticipated summer beers have arrived at Tap House Grill! Every summer Tap House features 10 to 12 refreshing local brews in addition to the 160 beers on tap from around the globe that are available year round―the largest selection in the Northwest!

This summer’s rotation includes 3 Skulls Blood Orange, Kona Wailua Wheat, Snoqualmie Summer Solstice, Pyramid Curveball, New Belgium Skinny Dip, Lost Coast Great White, Ninkasi Radiant and Elysian Avatar Jasmine IPA.

Owner Paul Reder explains “wheat beer is often a summer favorite because it goes great with spicy food like barbeque.” Tap House Grill’s menu features summer favorites that pair nicely with a pint of wheat such as BBQ Baby Back Ribs, Lamb Shanks with Spicy Guajillo BBQ Sauce and Tequila Chicken Salad. Enjoy these dishes and more on the patio for the perfect summer meal.

Continuing Bellevue’s jazz tradition at Cypress Lounge & Wine Bar

June 7, 2011

Hot off the heels of two successful jazz shows during Bellevue Jazz Festival week, Cypress Lounge & Wine Bar will be host a series of live jazz events throughout the month of June. Shows will take place Friday nights from 8:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., and as always―no cover!

So come by Cypress at The Westin Bellevue to enjoy local Northwest wines while listening to local musicians. Or stop in before the show to taste the new happy hour menu from 5:00-7:00 p.m. daily and all day Sunday. Happy hour at Cypress features half-priced appetizers and small plates, $6 featured wines, $6 featured cocktails (the Leschi Lemonade is a must try!) and $4.50 Northwest taps.

The June music lineup at Cypress Lounge & Wine Bar includes:

June 10:  Industrial Revelation
An evening of instrumental jazz with Evan Flory-Barnes, Josh Rawlings, D’Vonne Lewis & Ahamefule Oluo, playing selections from their second CD, Unreal Reality, released in 2010.

June 17:  Jose “Juicy” Gonzales Trio
The keyboard-led Jose “Juicy” Gonzales Trio brings to mind a young Mose Alison with playful funky renditions of jazz standards. Earning his BFA at Cornish, Gonzales and his crew provide a truly entertaining evening.

June 24:  Brooks Giles III
If you missed Brooks Giles III at Cypress last time, you are not going to want to miss him again. Assembling some of the best jazz musicians in the Northwest, Giles’s outstanding showmanship and natural talent are a gift to the audience.
