The "Manly Man" CGS Meeting

I personally would call this the "Manly Man" CGS Meeting because we gathered so many information from stuff like: beer, constructions, and auto detailing.

Opening our CGS June Meeting started with Magnolia Davidson, Metropolitan Tower, introducing The Pike Pub Brewery Restaurant. For most of you who didn't know, The Pike Pub Brewery Company is a family owned restaurant. Owners Charles and Rose Ann Finkel helped catalyze the craft-beer movement in the late 1970s, and they've still got the passion. Their friendly, rambling pub, located in the lower levels of the market, attracts beer geeks of both the local and tourist species. Also known as the "The Pike Pub" is a gravity fed micro-brewery with world class beer and sustainable pub fare. The Pike Pub is the showcase for the brewing company. Each ale - Naughty Nellie, Pike Pale, IPA, Kilt Lifter, Tandem, Monk's Uncle, & XXXXX Stout, is served properly in a working brewery. Local, seasonal, delicious pub fare includes fresh mussels & clams, hand crafted bratwurst with Chef Gary's WA State apple sauerkraut, artisan cheese, smoked salmon, local wines, beer to go, and gifts.

Not only we had our meeting in their private room, most of the Concierge who were able to attend, got the chance to do a tour and meet the owners! We were served with great dinner and a drink ticket with any choice of beer. Tara Shuttleworth, who is their main Event Coordinator/Concierge, gave us packets of what The Pike Pub has to offer, including Happy Hour --Mon-Fri 4-6 pm ($3.50 beers, $11.50 pitchers, appetizers half off), and some of their upcoming newsletter and events. We were also informed by Michelle Rasnic, President of CGS, that Tara Shuttleworth is now part of our Guild! Please welcome our new member Tara to join our awesome team!

After learning about The Pike Pub, Magnolia introduced us to Eric Blaser and Aaron Reynolds of Charter Construction, educating us about their High-End Residential Services, constructing the best design for your living room to bedroom. Some of their amazing projects are from places like: The McGuire, The Vine, The Gallery. Satisfying the aspirations of architects who demand consistency and quality in every touch. For more info to share to your residents and clients, please visit: www.chartercon.com.
Finally, Magonolia introduced us to Mike Doll, owner of Quality Auto Detailing, who mentioned some of the best deal for car detailing. They are located in Puyallup, but they're able to provide services wherever you may be around the Seattle Area. They also include a Concierge Program, that if you send five people, your clients or residents will be able to get some sort of discount. For more on this discount, please contact Mike at 253.223.0626.

We personally like to thank Tara S, Charles & Rose Ann F., Aaron R., Eric B., Mike D., Magnolia and Kimberly for making this event enjoyable just like our other meetings! Until next time!

Best,

Jathan Hamilton, Community Relations for Concierge Guild Of Seattle

Market Ghost Tour

Did you know there were ghosts in Seattle? A lot of ghosts? Many of them are in the old Pike Place Market and you can learn all about them on the Market Ghost Tour. I recently took the tour on a Friday night and had a great time! Despite being a Seattle native I learned facts about the Market and Seattle that I never knew. Do you know why part of it is called the “Sanitary Market?” I do. Everyone on my tour was a local and many of us saw parts of the market we had never seen before.

Ghost Tour in the Pike Place Market $15 Discover the Pike Place Market at night on this 75min walking tour. Mixed with haunting and history of the area are eccentric stories about Settle. In the Market you will find the city’s first mortuary and an old brothel that still has a red glow on its side.

Our Experience With Sullivan's Steakhouse!

On Tuesday, June 15th, our Guild Members were invited for a sneak peek at Sullivan's Steakhouse. Our night began with specialty martinis at the bar. Along with me were Katy Reilly, Stephanie Model, and Kaarin Keil. We were able to try their Mango Tango drink which was to die for if you have cravings for sweet and sour taste. The room we were in was very open, yet very sophisticated hall. I was immediately introduced to Lori Carchedi, Sullivan's Steakhouse Private Event Coordinator. I was greeted with such a warm and friendly welcome. She then introduced me to the General Manager of Sullivan's Steakhouse, Schuyler Adams, who is very thrilled to have us in their Restaurant.

I was pretty much overwhelmed with excitement soon as I heard we were ready to be seated. Our Guild Members were invited to the their Private Room, which Lori explained that there are two private rooms. The Theatre Room with maximum of 48 and The Union Square Symphony Room of 65. I happened to learn that we were seated in Theatre Room which is equipt with a drop down screen and ceiling mount LCD Projector. The room which overlooks the hustle and bustle of Union Street and The Act Theatre had shades for elegant privacy from the outside street.

As soon as we were seated, our waitress present us with menus and specials for the evening. From what I remember, I ordered Wedge of Iceberg Lettuce for Salad and New York Strip (16oz) with Horseradish Mashed Potatoes and Skillet Steak Mushroom Caps for sides and entree. As I took a bite of their delicious well done Steak, I felt like I was in heaven. We were served with fine wine and beverages throughout the night. They even offered us Appetizers of Oysters in The Half Shell, which was a delightful treat. We finished the night with a tasty coconut creme pie and coffee!

Later in the evening, I met up with Sara Latter, Wilson PR, who helped organized this event with us. I was able to meet their fantastic team. Sara even introduced me to Chris Rockwood, Regional Manager of Sullivan's Steakhouse!
I couldn't ask for more. The service was superb and would definitely come back!

I highly recommend you try Sullivan's Steakhouse for yourself! Celebrate and join them for their Opening Night on Saturday, June 19th! Feel free to mention this great venue to your clients, residents, and guest!

Hours: Lunch, Monday through Friday; dinner nightly from 5 p.m. and the bar, Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to close and Saturday and Sunday from 4 p.m. to close. Be a part of the hottest restaurant to open this year and book your table at 206.494.4442.
