50 Best Craft Breweries near Kirkland

“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!“

“This was my first time here. I've always wanted to go, but never knew it's exact location. It's the perfect micro-brew pub. Spacious, great high tops. I like the outdoor patio. Georgetown brewing makes some great brews. I was there at a release party for Shelly's Leg IPA which comes out every June. Very tasty.“

“Absolutely the best pizza and wings in town. And the customer service Is the best as well. They go out of their way to make sure everyone is content“

“Métier is such a great community resource. Their coconut porter is as good of a porter as I've had, and even better on nitro at the brewery. Their partnership with Little Brown Girl provides great food to go along with the great beer. I had their shrimp bahn mi sandwich, which was great. They had a comedy night the day I was there, which was an extra bonus.“

“I love this neighborhood brewery! This has been my go-to place to study, meet friends, go on a date, or enjoy a food truck treat! Their merch is also very cool -- I would love to see the repeating sheep pattern on tshirts, not just hoodies!“

“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.“

“Five stars for being a great place to watch Arsenal FC win or lose with other Arsenal fans in a business with staff who really care about your Arsenal watching experience. They even added an outside television for the UEFA Champions league which was AWESOME because the other Arsenal pub had nearly 200 people standing in line outside more than 2 hours before the 2026 UEFA CL game had started and so we then headed to Machine House Brewery and saw they were also full inside and that they added the outdoor television!! It was a majorly appreciated addition and it felt like a connected community standing together outside watching our Gunners!

🎶 North London Forever 🎶“

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

“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.“

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

“Fill me with beer and take me home.“

“Had the great fortune of trying this Hazy IPA before meeting the owner Kelsey Grammer and watching him pull beer for a few hours. This beer is outstanding! it doesn't have that hoppy bite and has a refreshing citrus finish. Put simply? it's delicious. Looking forward to more amazing beers coming!!“

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

“We hosted a meet & greet here the evening before our wedding. Jess let us reserve a table (we were expecting 10 - 12 out of towners) and there was something for everyone to drink. Our sober friends appreciated the NA options. The current watermelon seltzer is fab. Thank you so much, Ladd & Lass - we're so glad you're in the neighborhood!“

“This place is incredible. The food, the drinks, NA options, ambiance, the people are amazing. Could not be more comfortable. We just had an event there that everybody loved on the garden patio. Could not recommend more! Everybody in the party felt the garden patio setting was just super fun, great vibes, quiet and protected from the wind. Beautiful trees and bamboo. Highly recommend for events, brunch, drinks, meals, meeting up with friends.“

“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“

“We are HUGE fans of Watts!! We stumbled upon Watts a year or two ago when searching for breweries in Woodinville - and thank goodness we did! Firstly, Watts whole vibe is surrounding bees and environmental health, which immediately attracted my partner and I. A brewery with a mission that supports the local environment? Yes please! Next, the drinks and food. As for drinks, their beer and cider (and root beer!) is delicious, consistent and fresh. There is a great variety for differing taste preferences. As for the food, they have a small menu with perfect bar food - the bratwurst and pretzel being our favorites. We also appreciate the reasonable price of the food, which isn't a given these days, especially around here. Finally, the variety of seating options - there's something for everyone! The main area with tables, high-tops and a countertop, as well as the indoor seating in the brewery itself surrounded by the large machines, and two outdoor options - a tented area with picnic type tables, and a more open outdoor area with very comfortable chairs and semi-shade options. OH, and, there is always parking. Not something to be taken for granted! We love this place. We hope you give Watts a chance, and I am confident that it will be your new favorite go-to brewery! :)“

“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 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“

“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!!!!“

“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 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.“

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

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

“Great for pinball. All the tables we used worked as expected with very little issue, Popeye had a small issue with a ball return but it didn't impact gameplay at all.

The stern cabs are all online and they are all the upgraded versions. Had a really great time playing pinball here :)“

“It's always packed when weather is nice, and vibes are on point, but as a result, it can get CRAZY busy. We came earlier in the afternoon on a day with gray weather and it was still very hard to find a table. Beer was decent but at $8 a draft, not really a good value.

I'd say swing by if you're in the area, or if there's something you're interested in and it's very early in the afternoon, by all means go for it, but you can't just wander by on a Friday or Saturday in the sunshine and expect to find a seat.“

“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!!“

“This is definitely one of the unsung heroes of the brew scene in Seattle and the fact that they opened in 2020 is pretty hardcore considering they are still in business and going strong.

Reaching this place was pretty easy and it is located on a funky corner in the downtown part of Georgetown. Our initial objective was to take part in a ramen cooking class that was supposed to take place somewhere at the brewery, or next to it, but it took place inside the common drinking area next to a wall which was total nonsense. To say that the class was a joke is a gross understatement, but this is in no way a slight to the brewery which was hospitable,great beertenders and knock-down kick ass strong brews. First brew I had was their Project Haze which was a juice bomb of triple dry hopped goodness celebrating their ten years (not at that location I believe). I also got a triple IPA and another one not listed and can't remember the name of. Trust me when I say they will deliver the boozy goods. I also grabbed some stickers because the artwork is really special and unique commissioned by a local guy who is talented and animated with the graphics. If you are looking for a place to unwind after sight seeing, detour here and relax; they'll treat you right!“

“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.“

“Awesome spot I just now found close to our house fantastic smoked meats. Great sandwiches super good pizza friendly staff clearly they’re into snowboarding in the outdoor ski skiing lifestyle from the pictures around the walls and their beer is off the chart good. Their coach was my favorite and they even had a pog flavored one that was really good“

“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.“

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

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

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

“So fun! The ginger beer and sodas are delicious! We had the best time trying the different flavors, the staff give out samples and are super friendly. We came first for just the ginger beer and then came back later that evening for a cocktail and both were delicious. They allow you to mix and match flavors which made it super fun to curate your own unique beverage!“

“If you are a fan of ginger beer, or just want to try something different to cool off, Rachel's Ginger Beer will not disappoint. Serving non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks. Large variety of flavors. Staff is friendly and helpful. If you are not sure what to order, ask for one or more samples. Went back time and again. Loved the white peach, and of course the original Moscow Mule. Highly recommend you stop in. Open even after Pike's Market closes for the evening.“

“incredible food, great service and very very welcoming options for ciders and seltzers.“

“Great food and beer... amazing service!“

“I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the exceptional service provided by the staff during our visit. The food was truly outstanding. A special acknowledgment goes to David, Ruth, Larry, and Trevor, who went above and beyond to ensure that we had an enjoyable experience with both our meals and drinks. I cannot recommend this establishment highly enough, and I look forward to returning in the future. Thank you for your hospitality!“

“Nice vibe, sucks that the one and only TV was broken on the night of the 1st football game of the season but we watched it on a phone. There was no AC seemingly so it was super hot and when you’re getting tipsy the warmth is that much worse. The cider is a mix of yummy and mid. We tried several cider flights, about 12 flavors and I only really enjoyed maybe 3? Anyways the food was great, my partner and I tried the circus burger, basket fries and the popcorn chicken. WARNING: it’s not really popcorn chicken. I was hella hungry thinking it was actually gonna be popcorn sized and so I ordered the 20 piece, BIG MISTAKE, if you’re one person, order the 8 piece. It’s not popcorn sized or even chicken nugget sized. It’s like even larger than if you ordered boneless wings at wing stop. Not bad, just ordered too much food and I unfortunately get the OPPOSITE of the drunchies! Attached photo for reference. It’s delicious though and so is the sauce.“
