A.J. Rathbun swept in and wrote a lovely story on the recent bourbon dinner at Spur... a five course feast showcasing the talents of Seattle's top bartenders and the skills of our City's best chefs, Brian McCracken and Dana Tough (also of Tavern Law). We love the article and were so thrilled to get top-billing on the site's front page too. Thank you A.J. (and p.s you too R.D)!

Served Raw online magazine: GASTROPUB Your Saturday Night (with Spur) article


Served Raw wrote in their story yesterday, "Gastropub Your Saturday Night: Create a one-of-a-kind dinner party by offering guests seasonally driven food along with perfectly paired cocktails a la Spur Gastropub in Seattle. When the word beer doesn’t come up once during a gastropub interview, one may scratch her head. We went along with it and were pleased to discover that Chefs Brian McCracken and Dana Tough of Seattle’s Spur Gastropub and Tavern Law focus their diners’ experiences around seasonally driven food and cocktails. We endorse skipping the brews and Yorkshire puddings in favor of their inventive combos. With a little inspiration, you can pound out an off-roaded gastropub meal of your own at home."
