Where? Beveridge Place Pub, 6451 California Ave. SW, www.beveridgeplacepub.comWhat will $13 get you? A fine brew and whatever tickles your tastebuds from the surrounding eateries. Recommend? For beer fans who hate pub food.Sipping my Kronnenbourg 1664 ($3.50) I began perusing a binder full of take out and delivery menus for the surrounding West Seattle eateries. This is the way to drink beer. Beveridge features more than 100 bottles from Brazil to Britain and an extensive tap list. The problem with places like this is that you?re usually expected to down your French ales with soggy fries or droopy cheeseburgers. Beveridge knows this, so they stick to what they?re good at and let you fend for yourself on food. They?ve struck up symbiotic relationships with a couple of nearby restaurants that will bring your order over. I was hankering for Italian so I went for a half order of the tomato cream penne from Abbondanza Pizzeria, $7.65 after tax, leaving $1.85 for a tip (you might want to fish the change out of your purse to round that out.) You?ll squeeze the most out of your $13 by checking the drink specials first. Then just ask around for food ideas. The place has a bit of Cheers vibe, where everybody knows your name and they?re always glad you came. The guy on the stool next to me introduced the bar tenders, then took me over to the cafe next door to see about fried mac ?n cheese.
