You may not know this, but Will loves baseball. Yes, it's true. His father thinks he's a Yankees fan just because he does have a Yankees onesie, but he is wrong. Will loves the Detroit Tigers. And because of this love of the Tigers, Will demanded that we watch Game 4 on Wednesday afternoon.
Okay, young son, we said. Whatever you're into, we'll make it happen. And so began our quest for a Seattle-area sports bar that is open in the afternoon which also allows babies.
Not as easy of a feat as one might think.
After discussing numerous possibilties including WingDome (Will was sick of it), Auto Battery (doesn't open until 3pm), The Pig and Whistle (doesn't open until 4pm), Bleachers (No Minors), The Ram (no TVs in the dining room), and Ballard Loft (just not feeling it). We finally landed on Magnolia Village Pub. Quiet little pub so no stress bringing Will the Tigers Superfan in there plus individual TVs at each table. Plus, Magnolia is such a cute little neighborhood, it was a great place for a pre-game walk.
Magnolia Village Pub totally lived up to our expectations too. We both had a great meal off the nice-sized pub menu - hello, waffle fries! The service was friendly and totally not freaked out by Will's Tigers's obsession. They were out of several of their beers on tap, but their selection was still decent.
Unfortunately, what Will does not love is rain delays. He was so pissed off about the over 2-hour delay that we were forced to move on before the game actually started. And after the Tigers lost in the 11th inning...watch out, yo.
Note: My friend, Asia, a wise and worldly mom of 2, reccomends Fremont's Red Door as well as Hale's Brewery in Ballard. We've got them on our list. Stay tuned.
