31 Best Brewpubs 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!“

“great service and nice friendly people!“

“We have had their beers in Colorado so we knew when we visited Seattle that we wanted to come here to experience their beers. They are known for their many different kinds of IPA’s which they had about 5 different ones on the menu, and you could also get a flight of IPA’s or a regular flight. Within our group, we had a regular flight, the IPA flight, an Jacktail IPA, a white magic wheat beer, and a lemon blonde ale. We all enjoyed. They also had food but we did not partake. They have some merchandise and also a huge selection of games! Overall we are glad we came for a stop during our visit.“

“Great atmosphere, kid friendly, awesome selection, and great staff!“

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

“Jellyfish Brewing is a perfect local spot next to Green Lake Park. Great place to stop after walking, scootering, or wandering around the neighborhood. They had good beer options, cocktail options, and a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. I highly recommend the Sea Wasp Scotch Ale and the Cannonball Oatmeal Porter 😋

Also, the pinball machines are a fun touch — though the Demolition Man machine did eat my four quarters, which honestly felt like it was performing a full capitalism thesis on the themes of Demolition Man. Still had a great time. Cool spot, good drinks, and a fun neighborhood vibe.“

“Great experience at Gasworks brewing today. Outstanding spot on the lake and incredible hospitality. Not only did our baby spill one beer, but the darn monster spilled two. The lady working brought over two brand new beers with no charge! Can't speak highly enough about how she turned an unfortunate situation on our part into such a positive experience. It was our fault our baby spilled our beers and she went above and beyond to help us and get us new beers. Wish I caught her name, but she was great.“

“If I could give this a higher rating, I would! Some of the best beers I have tasted. We loved the Over Ripe and the berry smoothie. They were out of other ones we wanted to try. The service was also spectacular. We will go out of our way to make sure to come back!“

“Since moving to West Seattle, this has hands down become our go-to restaurant. Great food, drinks, and service every single time.

It's one of those rare places that works for almost any occasion. I feel completely comfortable grabbing a seat at the bar by myself, we love stopping in for a drink on date nights, it's family-friendly for our two young kids, and it's the first place we take friends and family when they come to visit.

Over the past few years, we've gotten to know the staff, and they're a big part of why we keep coming back. I'm so glad we found this place. It was one of the first places that truly made West Seattle feel like home, and we'll happily be regulars for years to come (while patiently waiting for our turn in the mug club!).“

“amazing place very cool!!!“

“Great selections of beer, cider and wine. Typically have a food truck or two!“

“amazing place very cool!!!“

“The service and beer are first rate and I always look forward to my next visit. Now that Rooftop is part of the mix the excellent choices have simply grown. Get a slider or the fish and chips and enjoy quality time with your friends at this great neighborhood pub.“

“The hazy "Kiwi" IPA best we had during our Seattle visit! Bartenders great at giving us traveling advice! Highly recommend!“

“Best place ever for the big time events!“

“I was in for the Bosnia game recently and Denise was our server. She was amazing to say the least. I highly recommend requesting her if you make it in while she’s working. She was hilarious, attentive and hustled her butt off while still making her presence not just known through the chaos, but we felt well taken care of through our whole visit. We will definitely be back and requesting her!“

“I wish we could have fully immersed ourselves here. As passport holders, we wanted to relax and take it all in, but we could find no parking with a big pick-up truck. We had one person stay with the vehicle up on a nearby neighborhood hill, while the rest of us hurried in and had a shot so we could get stamps. I couldn't really appreciate the place given the hurry up/shots/leave. I wish we could have taken it all in“

“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“

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

“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.“

“Lots of good food options- proper entrees as well as affordable snacks. Also a unique set of non alcoholic drinks. Overall a great experience as we spent a few hours (happy hours) working here and were checked in on the staff who were very friendly.“

“The food and beer were amazing great deals!!“

“best breakfast for an airport!! our server/manager went above and beyond, making sure our food was prepared perfectly.“

“Nice, casual brewery has great food to accompany your beer. I really enjoyed the fish and chips - two pieces of cod with nicely done fries - $20. The fish is beer battered. You pick up your food from a truck parked out front; they give you a buzzer so you know when your food is ready. I don't normally drink near beer, but I didn't want to drink at lunch - and Reuben's NA beer pleasantly surprised me. It was really good!
Staff does a nice job and the space is clean and comfortable. I had a nice lunch date with my friend, Dale, and will definitely return!“

“Needs work. Can we approach a food truck without passing back out of the metal detector protection zone? I like my food protected from metal. Also the beers out here are more than in the stadium during "happy hour"? Really? Not happy.“

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

“we had great food an the best service great job all around“

“We hosted a company event here, and it was awesome! The owner and on-site staff were wonderful to work with. It’s a fantastic location right by the market and the water, and they have a cool space. We got great feedback from our attendees on the food and drinks. All for very fair prices.

I’m not a Seattle local, but I will be back someday!“

“We frequently dine at Elliott Bay Brewing in Lake City. We had great service from Will, our waiter. We come often and he totally remembered our usual fish and chips order. I enjoy their rotating cider choices, and they are happy to oblige with samples to try. The meal was perfectly prepared. Nice fresh fish, tasty Caesar salad. $70 included tip. My husband had a margarita and I had a schooner of cider.“
