You can now order food that will be brought to your table inside one of the great hangout spaces on Capitol Hill.

Yes, Stoup Brewing Capitol Hill has invented… the restaurant.

It’s more fun than that.

Thanks to the new partnership, you can order from nearby Bok a Bok and have your Korean fried chicken delivered to you at the E Union beer hall with QR codes with promised “secret deals” on the Stoup tables.

As an added bonus, according to this post to the CHS Facebook group, the food will be brought over to the brewery across the couple blocks of Pike/Pine by a Bok a Bok employee and not a delivery driver. Meanwhile, Stoup Capitol Hill’s schedule of food trucks including Birrieria Pepe El Toro, Bella M’Briana, El Gran Taco, MexiCuban, and Tummy Yummy Thai is still in rotation.

Meanwhile, you can also still order Bok a Bok at its 10th Ave counter or inside The Runaway bar.

The pairing marks a new connection for Bok a Bok which moved into the neighborhood next to Neumos in 2017. Stoup, meanwhile, celebrated its 2023 move into the neighborhood by releasing its first Capitol Hill-brewed IPA earlier this winter.

Stoup Capitol Hill is located at 1158 Broadway.

Capitol Hill-born Skillet has been nailed for wage theft and violations of the city’s paid sick leave laws after firing employees over taking sick time and in retaliation for raising issues over the restaurant chain’s policies.

“Working in restaurants for a decade, I always assumed there was a legal exemption which meant we were not entitled to rest or meal breaks. There is not. That is illegal. It does not matter where you work or how busy you are. It does not matter if it is the holidays, or someone called in sick,“ Zara Sedore-Mallin, former Skillet employee, said in the announcement from the Seattle Office of Labor Standards of a $324,000 settlement over the company’s practices. “We have amazing labor laws in Seattle. You deserve to be able to eat, rest, and earn your full wage when you are at work. You are legally entitled to do so.” Continue reading →

Affordable housing developer Community Roots Housing has put another of its classic Capitol Hill apartment buildings on the market but the organization says not to expect a continued selloff of its smaller-scale holdings around the central city.

“We’re not in the business of selling buildings,” a representative said about the planned sale of the Park Hill building, the 1907-era, three-story masonry apartment building at 13th and Madison.

The organization announced plans to put the 30-unit building on the market last month and began the process of working with residents to find new homes. The spokesperson said people living in affordable units can be placed elsewhere int the Community Roots “portfolio” and that the developer has gone “well beyond city requirements” in assisting those in market-rate units if they choose to move out.
