OPENINGS
Gantry Public House
Farshid Varamini, owner of the People’s Burger and Pioneer Grill Hot Dogs food trucks, recently opened a brick-and-mortar called Gantry Public House with an ideal location for those looking for grub before or after games at CenturyLink Field and T-Mobile Park. The establishment has four beers on tap (with six more to come), a menu of typical bar fare like tacos and wings, and 14 big-screen TVs. Guests also have the option of bringing in outside food from Varamini’s food trucks. According to Eater Seattle, Varamini is also looking to add shuffleboard, darts, and a “rage room” (a designated area where guests can strap on protective gear and smash items for cathartic effect).
