50 Best Craft Breweries near Kirkland

“Good beer selection. Has good IPAs, low on bitterness, rich on flavor, somewhat hoppy, are refreshing in taste and have fruity/citrusy notes. Tried Plethora, Never Say Die, 99 Juicy and Blood Orange along with Helles Lager. Ambience is somewhat rustic and really relaxing with good music in the background. The location is within city limits too. Staff is very excellent, really hospitable, very friendly, takes time to explain, allows you to try different ones and clearly values you as a customer. Must try for so many reasons.“

“It is a nice place !! 👌“

“So excited but was disappointed no hats.“

“I love this place! From their hazy IPA to the great atmosphere, it’s our go to. The little container on the trail is my favorite next to the pea patch. We always enjoy playing corn hole and hanging out in the sun on a nice day with a good brew. The larger Chainline is nice too, perfect little place for catching a game or a stop when running errands. I love that they have dog treats and there are always pups around.“

“Side Hustle: Taproom & Experimental Kitchen in Kirkland is a great place to kick back and enjoy locally sourced beers, wines and food. Friendly servers and great atmosphere. Check it out!“

“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.“

“Newly opened as a tap room! Super inviting atmosphere with delicious beer on tap! They can also usually can things to go, and if you bring your own growler they’ll fill it up! Support local Black owned businesses!“

“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! 👌“

“Machine House Brewery is a solid brewery with a good selection of craft beers. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed, perfect for hanging out with friends or enjoying a casual drink. The staff are knowledgeable and happy to give recommendations. While it’s not over-the-top or flashy, it’s a reliable place for a quality beer experience in a comfortable setting. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area.“

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

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

“Fill me with beer and take me home.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Mac & Jack’s brewery is a hidden gem—they have a wonderful patio that is family and dog-friendly. This is my favorite local beer. Most beer-lovers in Washington have had their Amber but I absolutely love the Serengeti Wheat! They also have great food trucks (shout out to @SEA Dawgs on Fridays).“

“First time at Cascadia in Rathdrum, amazing service, super clean, pizza was delicious and we loved the crust. We loved how convenient it was to get forks, plates and other items. Was just a great experience. Definitely will be back“

“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“

“Came here about 20 min before close on Saturday. Asked if my friends and I could grab a quick beer and get out of there (bartenders have lives too). Bartender was super friendly and accommodating. I hadn't been before as I don't live in the area and got some samples of beers I might enjoy before making a decision. Honestly one of the best interactions I've had with service staff in a while. Really appreciated it. The beer was great too!“

“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.“

“Watts brewing hosted my welcome dinner for my wedding in Woodinville, about 40 people. The team there was incredible- we had a larger group, and they were so on top of it. I was really impressed with how clean they kept it with such a large group.... The space itself was great, accommodated everyone, never got too loud and felt cozy. They have excellent space for serving food. Haven't even mentioned this but the beer itself was so delicious! Great wine selection too, and I really appreciated the NA options for kids/non drinkers, everyone was included. The pretzels are a 10/10... I am really rambling.

TLDR: amazing venue choice, staff and beer selection for anyone hoping for a casual, cozy fun event in Woodinville.

Thanks for making our weekend so wonderful“

“great atmosphere, friendly staff, great beer selection.“

“After a long day of beer hopping, we stumbled upon the perfect place to cap off our adventure! This spot had an absolutely awesome selection of beers, making it the ideal ending to our beer-filled day. They had a vast space, both indoors and outdoors, providing plenty of room to relax and enjoy our drinks. The sheer variety of beers on tap was impressive, catering to all tastes and preferences. It was clear they took their beer seriously, and it made for a truly enjoyable experience.
What made this place even better was that it's dog-friendly! As dog lovers, we always appreciate finding places where we can bring our furry friends along. It added to the relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, creating a fun and inclusive environment for everyone.
If you're looking for a great place to enjoy a wide selection of beers, especially after a day of beer hopping, this place is a must-try. The combination of the vast space, the impressive beer selection, and the dog-friendly policy makes it a truly exceptional spot. Come here for a good time, bring your dog, and enjoy some fantastic brews! I highly recommend it, and I'll 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“

“healthy deliciousness! what more can I say, except I have to get me some!!“

“Popped in for a beer while cruising the area - nice stop. The session was an easy drinker and flavorful, while still being light - just like a session should be! Didn’t try the food, but several plates were saw looked appealing. Industrial vibe but friendly patron patrons and staff.
Definitely with a visit if you’re on a walk about too.“

“The beer tenders are great and I love the trivia on Tuesdays. beer it's good. But, I miss some of the Cairn classics. Wish they would bring them back. Seaplane in particular. Parking is awful. they used to open up the patio area for parking during the winter. postdoc has not done this despite the fact that nobody wants a beer outside when it's raining or snowing. great place though to hang out. kid and dog friendly. Their membership program is pretty awesome too!!!!“

“Great atmosphere . Knowledgeable father and daughter duo crafting beer from the garage to a cool industrial setting“

“Great beer and friendly staff. I really liked that the staff is enthusiastic about the beer and love talking about it. I even gave feedback about the tasting order of barrel aged to get the best flavor experience, and I appreciated that they were open to adapting. I'll definitely be back regularly, so long as there is barrel aged beer. ?“

“Toss up between Mac and Jacks and this spot for my favorite beer place in Redmond. Prices are excellent, and 21+ means no kids if you're not in the mood, though dog people are still a thing here, so expect a pooch or two to say hi to your table. Great scotch ale.“

“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.“

“Great taste of brews! Would love to get more!“

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

“We absolutely LOVE Black Raven in Woodinville! It's a huge part of our family! We go every Friday, and the staff could not be more accommodating, friendly, and amazing! They are accepting, patient, and they go
above and beyond! We would give them 10 stars if we could!“

“Ah, there's goodness a foot and it comes in the form of a tap. Fremont Brewing welcomes all to their festive beer garden, and their liquid courage in the form of hop laced excellence. The enviroment is classic beer garden with that Seattle twist, picnic benches, flora, and food trucks. Yes, you must pair your drink with some edible sustenance, not required but I suggest it. It's a casual affair, so bring a friend or two or three, find some seating, and kick back and relax, good times await. That inner child you've been seeking to discover has just been tapped. It's deliciously good.“

“Tatum was outstanding! What a horrible day I was having. Ending up getting towed to the shop next door to locust. While walking away from my dead car I realized I was in the parking lot of locust cider! Tatum made my day!!! She was kind and patient and very beautiful (inside and out!). She also must have some serious magic abilities…. I tried the engine one more time and my car started!!-

I’ll be back to see Tatum and her mango lemonade and blackberry mix!!“

“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.“

“What a great casual brewpub for casual food and beer! The food portions and variety are large and they have a kids’ menu too. Lots of beer choices too, although no ambers or red or brown ales when we were there. But beat of all was our server, Emily, whose welcoming and friendly personality was way above and beyond the norm. Thanks Emily!“

“Great place for quick drink or happy hour. Personally love their small batch old fashioned options.“

“A massive thank you to Big Block in Sammamish and dynamo Kyle behind the counter for helping us pull off a fabulous engagement party. Venue was the talk of the town and many family and friends plan on returning to try the beers they didn't get to! Bride and groom each tried 5 and want to come back for trying the rest!
Truly though, thank you. It is such a fabulous space. Kyle was a pleasure to work with and made the day that much more fun for us and our guests.“

“Shane, Zoe,Riley Gabby and Nathan, Shelby. Amazing experience. Fresh food and tasty beverages. What a great environment!. Want to spend more time here. Great place for connections!“

“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.“

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

“Ok I have been really wanting to try this place for years now and we finally went in. Food was tasty, the fish and chips would have been recommended because they were decent pieces , however if they weren't burnt on areas, I think they would be amazing. Foodie tip, their tartar sauce was delicious, and the if you mixed it with the Cole slaw with the tartar... yummy. Like the Old Long John's Silver recipe. Nachos were ample with really good flavors Liked like a decent size burger, but very tasty fries. Tasted the light beers, including the Mexican version 😋 Honesty, better than some brewery versions. Would like to go again and see if those fish could be done better. The service was decent, nice guys who ended up going the extra mile for a missed item. 👍🏼 Definitely worth going back. Like I said, the only downer was the burnt fish, but they still Taste good.“

“Im from Corpus Christi TX. Was here for the auto show. This place is the best. The staff was FANTASTIC!!! The manager came up and made sure we were taken care of. The food was great!! The selection of beer and mixed drinks were plentiful. I'd never had peanut butter and jelly shots. Can't say that anymore. Lol if you are ever in the area I would strongly suggest this place. Very laid back vibe. They have enough TVs to watch every game that is televised. Again I would strongly recommend this place.“

“Such a fantastic little watering hole. Amazing food truck right across the street you can bring in and eat with some rotating local brews. Down to earth crowd of folks and a couple of honest gentlemen behind the bar from what I've gotten to experience. New spot for me and the pup!“

“The staff here were very friendly and the ginger beer was soooo good omg I might just order some online and ship it home. I only planned to go here once during my trip but I definitely made time to come back again before I left Seattle it was that good. I got the black current ginger beer with gin“
