My husband and I stopped in the last night before we left Kirkland. Best place, great service and very friendly. Great conversations.

Kevin is great!!!

Chris is amazing. If you hope to have an experience filled with great beer, food, and a wonderful environment, this place has you covered. But most important, Chris is the light of this place. Talk about a wonderful person, Chris is like a best friend you can always count on to have great conversation with about anything! Absolutely recommend to anyone hoping for a hospitable and wonderful experience! Thanks again Chris, see you again soon! — Maddie and Edvin

We popped in here on our way downstairs to Vovina. What a great little discovery. Excellent atmosphere, great selection of beers on tap and wine. Chris was a great host and made the visit a lot of fun.

Amazing local spot for a great beer or other libation.

Was a great night out. Live music and cheap drinks is always a good time.

Bartenders like Chris are a dime a billion, I haven’t felt so at home at a bar/taproom since I was last in Illinois. You wont find the freeze here. Chris ran a Friday night solo and made sure to serve every last drop of drink and food to his patrons. I left both impressed and heartbroken, this was our first stop of our Friday night and the rest of Kirkland was all downhill from there. Chris is goated, he made our night! Cant wait to see him again. You cant pay people like Chris enough!!!

A step above, not your ordinary tap room. Must visit for us every time we are in Kirkland.

I Love the rotating menu so there is always something new! The community engagement from performers to promoting green practices is admirable

Fantastic beers, apps and ambience.

Outstanding kombucha selection

Finally, a bar that stands out! Side Hustle Taproom in Kirkland has nailed the perfect balance of great beer, wine, and a welcoming, fun atmosphere. It’s rare to find a spot that caters to craft beer and wine enthusiasts alike while also offering an inviting environment to kick back with friends.

What sets Side Hustle apart is their collection of board games and unique vibe. My favorite experience was playing “Cards Against Community” with my friends—it was such a fun and interactive twist that made the night unforgettable. The space feels cozy yet vibrant, perfect for unwinding after a long day or catching up with friends over a laugh (or a competitive round of Catan!).

If you’re looking for a local hangout with quality drinks and something a little different, Side Hustle Taproom is a must-visit. Highly recommend checking it out!

New Bothell location is excellent.
