50 Best Craft Breweries in Seattle

“Your food and drinks are amazing! Had a burger with a BUN for the first time in a VERY long time! I'd pretty much given up on gluten free buns. The peach sour and the beer was delish! Felt so good to know I could eat anything on the menu and not worry about any cross contamination!“

“Georgetown Beer is fantastic! The beer is always fresh and full of flavor, and the customer service is top-notch. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and make every visit enjoyable. Highly recommend Georgetown Beer for great brews and great people.“

“Such a great find! This brewery is tucked right next to the Olympic Sculpture Park, so it’s easy to walk past, but absolutely worth stopping in. The beers are excellent especially the Hazy IPA, which was super refreshing. Some options come in cans, though I was hoping for more on tap. The food selection was delicious, and I’m excited to try more next time. I’m especially looking forward to coming on a Wednesday for Vinyl Night, where you can play your own record for just a dollar. Definitely one of the best breweries to check out!“

“This brewery had the BEST root beer on tap I have ever had on. I will definitely be coming back for some delicious root beer. I took some to go!! The brewery itself is beautiful and very friendly and welcoming. I would most definitely recommend this brewery to someone. The coolest part was that they had coffee brewing too!! How awesome. I loved this place. The employees were incredibly kind. 10/10“

“An exceptional bar with exceptional beers. One of the only places to get a Doppelbock in Ballard that I'm aware of, though any others I find will have a high bar to meet. Excellent indoor and outdoor spaces and friendly to run clubs and events, which they have a big back space specifically to accommodate.“

“I went here before seeing MCR at T-Mobile Park. You'd never be able to tell from the outside, but this place is cooler than anything else in the area. The beer is delicious, and the vibes are next level. Do yourself a favor man, hit this place up.“

“A family friendly space. Good for loving parents to either little humans or pets or both. There is a separate kitchen that serves bites. You have to order separately, so the brewery shares the space. Not a place to be seeking royal treatment, but it is chill and I will definitely be revisiting for as long as possible in the future. A laissez faire experience.“

“We tried 8 beers here, and each one was different to the others and didn't match other beers from other spots. The atmosphere is friendly, and you can even be immersed in beer brewing in real time.“

“Ravenna Brewery is an awesome place to hang out! 🍺 Great selection of delicious craft beers, super chill vibe, and a spacious outdoor patio where you can actually relax — hardly any traffic passing by. There’s even a food truck nearby with amazing BBQ, sausages, and pork — perfect combo with the beer. Excellent atmosphere, friendly people, and totally worth checking out. Highly recommend! 👌“

“Fun neighborhood spot with food trucks. Great to bring kids. Large outdoor areas!“

“Jellyfish Brewing Co. Makes the most delicious, inventive beer! It’s our favorite watering hole. And we are so happy it’s so close.“

“good beer, friendly service, welcoming atmosphere“

“Fill me with beer and take me home.“

“Dog friendly! Good beer! There is fun trivia on Thursdays and the employees are great.

Machine House is a great place to get a beer in Hillman City and a great spot to take friends and family! My dad is English and he loves the beer here and my dog and i like the cozy vibe :)“

“fair isle has rapidly become my go to brewery since they opened. a little off the beaten path means it doesn't get nearly as loud and "bro-tastic" as the other Ballard breweries. the beer itself is excellent and their experimental nature means their is always something new to try. the occasional food is always tasty. overall, fair isle is my favorite of all the Ballard breweries; a well hidden secret that I hate to share.“

“One of my favorite breweries now. Their fresh hop beers are delicious, and their mosaic pale ale is amazing, and the märzen Oktoberfest beer is one of the best I've ever had. Also what a wonderful and welcoming bartender. Incredible beer, friendly bartender, comfortable atmosphere, what else could you want?“

“One of my favorite seattle breweries! Great complex sours ranging from mild to lip puckering tart (although this is coming from a sour sensitive palate FYI), as well as stouts, ipas, braggots and more! Highly recommend for anyone visiting the Seattle area who enjoys beers. It's definitely worth the visit! My standouts (as of June 2025) include smoke show, rampart sour red, armchair philosopher, and Peter Peter pear eater.“

“Great place to put the kick stand down for a few!
Be sure to get the story behind the co-op idea and name (initially they thought the concept would work like a Flying Bike 🤣)!
Friendly service, laid back vibes, and the hazy was crisp and fresh. Just won a medal for their porter too, but wasn’t in the mood.
Love how they develop and select their offerings…maybe co-ops can lift off, if’n you pedal hard enough!“

“Great MicroBrewery! Staff & Brews are some of the Best out in the Industry!“

“Love this place! Thank you for being open late and being a good neighbor in the community. Food options are great. Only feedback is that the hop water here is unlike any hop water I've ever had (unfortunately in a bad way). Always tastes stale/off. Would love a revamp on the NA options.“

“Love this spot! Super chill neighborhood brewery with a great variety of beers. 🍻 Trivia night on Thursdays is always a blast, and happy hour (3–5pm) is a solid deal. They sell their beer in cans too, which is perfect for taking home.

Sometimes you’ll catch a food truck out front, but they’re cool with you bringing your own food as well. It’s a cozy, couple-owned place with an awesome community vibe. Definitely one of my go-to breweries!“

“Craig and the rest of the Rooftop Brewing crew run a warm and welcoming experience. While most of the seating is outside it is still cozy with a very easy going atmosphere. A few TVs to catch the game but not too distracting like a bar only focused on sports. Just the right balance.There are heaters to keep you at a good temperature even when mother nature decides to challenge you.Bonus is a food truck only feet away to keep you nourished as you sip your tasty brew.“

“One of our friends described this very Seattle brewery perfectly: You see people playing D&D while the Seahawks are playing. Beers are brewed in house! We love playing games and hanging out here. Friendly staff and fantastic atmosphere. I mean, how can you beat hanging out, drinking and playing board games while watching sci-fi films / Seahawks games? Strangely to some, the most impressive aspect is the restroom setup. Gender neutral rooms with tampons/pads on hand for those who need them. For those who don't typically see this setup, it's kind of a big deal and helps this brewery stand out.“

“great place friendly host“

“A definite hidden gem! Everyone is so nice, all the staff and all of the regulars were so welcoming! I threw my boyfriend a casual surprise birthday celebration and it was the perfect location!
The drinks are delicious, the ramen food truck was delicious, and we will definitely be back!“

“This brewery had the BEST root beer on tap I have ever had on. I will definitely be coming back for some delicious root beer. I took some to go!! The brewery itself is beautiful and very friendly and welcoming. I would most definitely recommend this brewery to someone. The coolest part was that they had coffee brewing too!! How awesome. I loved this place. The employees were incredibly kind. 10/10“

“Love this place! Excellent customer service and beers!! My only complaint goes to the clientele - when did it become a thing to bring your children to a bar/brewery? Some nights I’ve been here and there are equal toddlers to adults in the building!“

“It’s very comfortable. Feel is like a big treehouse , yet look close it’s beautifully built I like feeling no pressure to drink which In turn makes me want to have a drink. Love this place. One of the best things about lake city“

“Prestige and quality beers. They have developed a reputation for some of the best beers in Seattle, and for me the best in West Seattle. Some variety with an IPA focus. Try the lofty stouts. Really cool location with ample room for guests inside and out.“

“Great beer. But it smells quite badly in here — like last year’s grease fire. Recommend the beer but not the taproom.“

“I love Halcyon! This is our favorite local spot. Good beer and elevated bar food—I recommend the chili pork dumplings 🤤“

“Always great beer creations and friendly staff.“

“Great brewery and setting. Fun ambiance.“

“Was a rooftop regular. It has been really neat to come see this place, and I was definitely missing out. Amazing food and beer, chill atmosphere, kind of seems like it's going to be a match made in heaven (I hope). Should have come before, but so glad to discover it now. Come on by!“

“Great cozy brewery in the neighborhood. I had couple beers and Head Full Dynomite was my fav cause it had that refreshing but also flavorful taste of IPA. Kudos to the random gentleman customer who recommended it for me.

From the burger food cart outside, I also grabbed Kimchi burger and it was quite interesting. They made the sauce with kimchi, so kinda spicy but also sour-ish pickle-like flavor too so I think they did pretty good job combining kimchi flavor into burger menu.

One another random thing I found interesting is that this brewery seemed quite family friendly/oriented place. And I never imagined seeing a toddler or a baby at a brewery before coming here.“

“great little brewery!“

“A consistently good, but rarely exceptional brewery. Perhaps my expectations are too high due to the history, head brewer, etc for this brewery, but I was expecting some truly fantastic IPAs. While all of the IPAs on tap were definitely above average, nothing blew us away in the way we hoped. Cloudburst definitely knows what they are doing, though. I expect them to be a pillar of Seattle brewing for the foreseeable future. Staff was fine, but not particularly friendly or knowledgeable. While we went in the middle of winter, it was approximately the same temperature inside as it was outside as well. There are a few kinks to work out as far as service goes.“

“My partner and I hosted our welcome drinks/dinner for our Feb. 2025 wedding at the Barrel House. We are so happy with how everything turned out! Lisa was very helpful, she showed us the space before we booked and answered all our questions. They offered a great variety of beers, ciders, and N/A options. We used the projector screen, and mic, and my family went nuts with decorating the barrels, super fun! We highly recommend Reuben's Barrel House for private parties/events!“

“Tasty beers with a cool industrial vibe. A great selection of fruity sours packed with flavor. A black raspberry grisette stole my heart... Also, bonus points for being right under the SeaTac flight path. Super fun to watch jets flight right above the patio.“

“fun atmosphere, staff knew how to sell what was on tap, excited to go back“

“Cloudburst reminds me of how breweries used to be 10 plus years ago. They find some space inside the actual brewery operations. Set up a small bar counter and a few tables. Open the garage door and serve beer for a few hours in the late afternoon-evening, maybe four days a week tops. I miss that vibe.“

“The new Po’ Boy and Tings food menu is the ‘FREAKING BOMB’!! Large menu had the 8” Oyster PO Boy. Huge amount of oyster and get this. It wasn’t fried to a crisp. Super juicy and killer flavor.
Of course Great Notion beer was crazy on point. Thank you guys.“

“Probably the best alcoholic ginger beer I’ve ever tasted (the imperial). Shocked this was my first time trying it. But now that I know this exists, I’m sure it will be accompanying me to every backyard party this summer. Thanks for making a great product yall!“

“They have lovely outside fires where you can sip draft beer and much on fresh hot soft pretzels and stone ground mustard.“

“Love the beer, the staff are dope, but they close early. They're on winter hours so last call happens by around 8:30/8:45. By the time I get off work and go to make my way there it just isn't worth the drive. Otherwise really enjoy the environment there, less chaotic than the Ballard location.“

“A great neighborhood place. The beer tenders were amazing and the beer was awesome 🤩“

“Great beer; sketch location. I begrudge them for neither!“

“Enjoyed our visit. Great outdoor seating. Friendly staff.“

“A group of friends and I went to Elysian Fields to watch the Superbowl and our server/bartender Tina (#TeamTina) was the absolute best. For the complete hellscape that the place was in because it was jam-packed full of people, she did an amazing job for all the time we were there and was incredibly attentive.“
