Fun, comfortable environment. Excellent beer, wine and small plate treats ?. The live entertainment is a big bonus. Enjoy Cheers ?

This place was PACKED on a Friday night. You don't get table service, so plan to go to the bar to order. Skip the pizza (it's thick - on foccacia, and it's personal size). Get the cheese ball. We didn't stay here long, it was really loud and full.

Perfect place to enjoy friends with a good cider ?They have music now and support our local musicians. I have heard they have a small kitchen and are serving food now. I can not rate or have input on that as I haven’t experienced that part of the taproom. Employees are fabulous, friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend you stop in and take in the atmosphere. You won’t be disappointed.

I visited this spot for a local meetup recently and enjoyed my experience! They have several TVs around that can project content, and they set up a small stage area for the speaker. Service during the event was great! You can order food and drinks at the bar, and they also had staff walking around to take orders too. The staff were friendly, and I would definitely consider revisiting for a casual drink!

Met up with friends for a few drinks. Loved the shareable menu for food and great selection for drinks!

Good selection of beer. Fun that it's rotating breweries. They offer a small bites menu and wine, cider, kombucha and sparkling waters. Lots of seating and cool atmosphere- sort of like a pub, sort of PNW, sort of swanky. Music was at a good volume- loud enough to get the vibe but I wasn't shouting over my beer. Nice guy doing bar service. A couple TVs but not obnoxiously so. I'll go back because I like beer and it was super chill.

Great vibe and energy at side hustle! Was lucky enough to sit next to a side hustle bartender (on her day off) and introduced me and my wife to some very tasty non alcoholic beverages. Kellie Rose was on stage, and is an exceptional artist with a beautiful voice. Definitely a great combination of talent, service and vibe. My wife and I will be back!

Lovely atmosphere! This was some of the best champagne I have had, and I loved reading about the local wineries and their stories. I tried some focaccia sandwiches as well which were delicious. I would eat that bread (made in house) by itself with some oil and vinegar! They also have some board games available, which was a nice touch.

No food here offered yet, but THE best place to go for local beers on tap. The people are always so amazing, and conversations build throughout your time spent here. Everyone (and dogs) are welcome. You can also bring in food to enjoy with your drinks. It's one of the rare places that I have a mug club membership with. (Sign up now, October, if you want mug club).So if you are ever in Kirkland, want a beer (or wine, cider, or a seltzer), stop in, and be prepared to be treated like you are at Cheers.

Bartender was super helpful. I tried a dark beer to start (porter?). Was on tap and was delicious. My coworkers tried an IPA and a Pilsner (both on tap). Everyone liked their beer. For my 2nd I tried a sour (from a can) which also tasted great. It was nice that there was a baseball game on the tv as well. Didn't try any snacks or food, but maybe next time. Great location in downtown Kirkland. And close to the water.

Great low key place to chill out with friends.
