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.“

“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!“

“We used Ravenna for our wedding weekend welcome party and it was a total success. Bobby was the best bartender we could ask for and the space itself was so unique and really added to the experience. It was super easy to schedule with them. And on top of all that, the beer is excellent and some of the best in Seattle.“

“Large brewery with ample indoor and outdoor seating. Great and knowledgeable staff who are always willing to help you work on a decision for the perfect selection! A wide variety of beer with ever present standards and fun seasonal creations!“

“Fill me with beer and take me home.“

“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 🎶“

“Came for the bingo, stayed for the jo-jos. Best catfish po-bo of MY LIFE. Will be back next week for bingo (it was cancelled when we showed up) and more Jo Jos. The beer was pretty good - a lot of IPAs but I opted for the Kolsch and the Coconut Porter (it didn't drink like a dessert porter which is what I prefer) which were very nice. A nice spot worth the drive.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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!“

“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“

“We hosted a fundraising event for our nonprofit in Fremont Brewing's private event space, and it was fantastic from start to finish. Hannah and the team were an absolute pleasure to work with - responsive and helpful throughout the planning process, and their customer service on the day of the event was just as great. They also provided a bartender for the day, who was top notch. They were also wonderfully flexible about letting us bring in our own caterer, which made a big difference for us.

The space itself was beautiful, with a nice mix of seating that made it easy for our guests to mingle and feel comfortable throughout the evening. We couldn't have asked for a better venue for our event and would highly recommend Fremont Brewing to anyone looking to host something similar.“

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

“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.“

“Best Hazy IPAs in the Pacific Northwest!! The Laser Wolf hazy IPA is wow, such a delightful creamy mouthfeel, balance of fruit and hops, the best hazy I tried in 1 month of brewery stops in Seattle (Fast Fashion brewery’s hazy IPAs are #2 best). The Oktoberfest Marzen was also an excellent beer. The Georgetown taproom is really nice, dog friendly inside and outside with plenty of seating. The two beertenders were super friendly, we enjoyed talking to them. And the merch is super cool too, I bought a hat. The vibe is very community focused, they even had a cooking class one time we visited. There was easy and free street parking or you can pay in the closer lot. Highly recommend Great Notion in Georgetown!“

“This brewery is located inside an industrial area. It's spacious from the inside with a nice outdoor patio. The bartender was very friendly and offered samples of some of the beers we wanted to try. Had a pint of the Red Mason Rye which was a really good Red Ale. If I'm in the area, I would come back to try the Blackjacket.“

“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 :)“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

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

“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“

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

“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.“

“This might have been the best chicken sandwich I've ever had. Perfectly juicy thick piece of chicken, salted beautifully so you get little hits just when you want it, a well measured amount of sauce to highlight the flavors and not overwhelm.

The Split Pea Fritters were also fried to perfection and had such a fantastic flavor on their own but once paired with the sauce holy cow.

The brewery the restaurant is in was serving up pints with an insane level of balance. A great example is the coconut porter which most hit you hard with the coconut up front. Not this one, the coconut is a playful flavor through the sip making it such an easy drink to go down. Same with the lagers and IPAs we tried. Even the root beer was probably one of the best I've had!

The staff were so bright and inviting, happy to explain things even though they were busy. They were hosting a community non-profit for artists which made for a fun and vibrant atmosphere.

This restaurant hits far above it's weight, priced perfectly, cooked perfectly, fun and engaging staff, it hit every box I could think of. I have 0 notes about my experience here!“

“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. ?“

“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.“

“I love ginger beer and don’t drink and I loved that this place feels like brewery with non alcoholic options. The white peach flavor was amazing. Staff were so nice and let us try as many flavors as we wanted to. Definitely worth a stop.“

“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.“

“Love it every time I go! Great beers, tasty food and the employees are all friendly, attentive and overall just awesome!“

“Rachel, Tiana, and Brandon were all phenomenal servers, hosts, bartenders, and all around great human beings.

The food and beer are the best I’ve had in ages, and I don’t mean to sit on a high horse, but I cook a lot and eat out frequently, the BBQ brisket fries might be my favorite thing in the world right now. Perfect balance of heat and flavor. Hats off to the cooks, whatever their names.

I brought my dog, we sat outside, Rachel got us seated right away, Tiana brought him a water bowl, and Brandon brought my my food. They all greeted my dog, Bodhi, and called him a “good boy” (which is being generous, but lowkey he was on his best behavior).

10/10 food
10/10 service
10/10 drinks
10/10 atmosphere

I want to carry their beer at the grocery store I work at, that’s how good of an impression the staff here had on me. I’m emailing the GM as soon as I get back to work on Tuesday.

AND, and. As an added bonus, they never did that obnoxious thing where the server comes by in the middle of a bite to ask how everything is. They just know their food is bangin.

I will be back, no question. For any Seattle friends: This is worth a ride on the light rail to Shoreline South, then take the 522 to 139th, then a brief walk up an easy hill (and I’m fat, so for someone in reasonable shape it’s probably nothing).

THIS IS A MUST TRY FOR ANYONE WHO LIKES GOOD FOOD, GOOD BEER, and GREAT SERVICE.

11/10. No further notes.

PS: (I know I said no further notes, but whatever). Courtney (owner), I“

“Jenny I. was our server. She did a fantastic job. We came to the brewery, after watching the Mariners beat our Cubs in the 9th inning, very disappointed; however, she was very friendly and made our evening. Her service stood out. We will be back….“

“Stopped in to grab a bite to eat and it was a nice place. The inside is surprisingly big. Got the Seattle Poutine and it was okay. I took a bite out of my friend's Smash Burger and it was yummy. I would have loved to try some of their beer but I was in charge of leading the group and didn't think it was a good idea to get tipsy beforehand“

“Order at the counter, and you can get chicken sandos and Rachel’s Ginger beer at the same place. Casual and very artistic atmosphere. Different flavors of Ginger beer, alcoholic drinks with the Ginger beer, blended drinks… so good! You can do a little sample if you’re not sure what you want. Good for a lunch or bite after work. Right across the street from spheres.“

“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!“

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

“Weekend breakfast here is wonderful! We've had breakfast here twice and will make it a regular weekend stop. Great food variety - definitely try the Malted Banana Blueberry Pancakes, Biscuits & Country Gravy, and Biscuit Sandwiches. They also make a really good Mimosa, Bloody Mary, and Peach Bellini. The coffee itself is worth the trip. Great service, just like we always have here.“

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

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

“Best place ever for the big time events!“

“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.“
