(brgrbarseattle.com) – Pioneer Square Neighborhood, Seattle, Washington

How I heard of this place: An article on Thrillist listing the best neighborhood burgers in Seattle appealed to me; I shared it with friends and we began a monthly mission to sample all of the burgers in Seattle, starting with some of the best. This month, it was time to try BRGR Bar.

Type of cuisine: Burgers. Fancy schmancy ones, but burgers nonetheless.

Ambiance: A small entry leads into a rectangular, elongated space with a loft above.

Booth seating on the left,

intimate settings on the right,

a small bar at the back.

Dark. Even in full sun, daylight.

What I ordered: As we awaited the fifth in our party, we started with one Blackberry Lemonade ($4) and a Spring Soda ($4) with housemate cucumber, sage and lemon syrups with soda water. (Each included one free refill.) One order of Garlic Fries ($7) with olive oil, minced garlic, garlic sauce, parmesan and parsley,

and one order of Bleu Cheese Fries ($7) with bleu crumbles, house bleu sauce, parsley.

Our burgers, the main show, (local house blend beef patties from Pasco, WA and organic brioche buns fresh from Grand Central Bakery): for me, the BMB ($10 burger only) with smoked bacon, sautéed mushroom, melted bleu crumble, house bleu cheese sauce.

For my husband, the Bacon Brie ($10 burger only), a beef patty topped with center-cut bacon, melted brie, caramelized pear, arugula, and sweet date aioli.

For one of our dining companions, the Oaxaca with a side Mix Salad ($11), a beef patty topped with pepper jack cheese, roasted poblano pepper, pico de gallo, avocado, pepper chili sauce,

and our second dining companion chose the Build Your Own with 6oz beef ($6), Cheddar cheese ($1), Lettuce, Tomato ($0.25 each), ketchup and mustard, with a side of hand cut fries ($3)
