50 Best Beer Bars near Lake Forest Park

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 — Vulpine Tap Room
Zach is an all-time professional in craft beverages — a longtime coffee competitor who brings a homey, fantastical, and deeply inviting energy to his team, his products, and this entire space. Every detail reflects care and creativity. Ten out of ten. A hundred out of ten. Could not recommend it enough.“

“Excellent food. Truly excellent in all the small ways that are forgotten at other places. Salads are perfectly executed — balance of textures, flavors, dressed just right. The pizzas are also perfectly balanced. It’s a real fine attention to detail we weren’t expecting but are so glad to find.“

“Excellent food. Wonderful service .. Recommend The Shambles steaks… all of them🙃“

“Definitely a cool little spot. The food was pretty good and came out relatively quickly. We went for brunch and we're happy with the selection. The beer cheese was a little too runny for what I like but it had good flavor.
Next time we're back in Seattle I'd love to give it another shot during dinner hours.“

“Unique old garage atmosphere, dark and dirty with somewhat community seating. There are many beers on tap which super fun at order time. The staff is happy to pour samples and is prepared for the asks. However, the samples are so small that they are worthless unless you are a tasting pro or just trying to distinguish between a stout and a Pilsner. If your whole existance is varieties in tap beers, samples are part of the business. Embrace that and ensure customer experience is part of the package. Every time I get samples, I get the rushed feeling. Here's your 2 drop sample, suck it down and give me your order. I come here for the ~40 beer tap selection; it's part of the fun! Sampling adds to the experience and prices are high enough that I want to enjoy my beers.

I like dinner with my beers and the food trucks are mostly good, but one is always limited to that one truck. The location doesn't lend itself to other options.“

“Cool bathroom. Nice location. Friendly staff. I didn’t have a drink but was told they were pretty good. Portions are large. Vegan selections are limited.“

“We've ordered pizza from here 3 or 4 times so far, and it's spot on every time! Probably some of the most flavorful pizza we've had in Seattle, with fresh quality toppings and baked perfectly. Will absolutely be ordering from here again.“

“Best place for drinks. Great prices. Great food. Pinball and board games everything!“

“great service and nice friendly people!“

“I discovered U Wine Bar on a walk in the neighborhood, and was immediately interested because it's a wine bar, but then even more interested because it hosts Magic events! It's a great space, good wine, good non-alcoholic options and wonderful people. The owner is also fantastic and friendly and will probably beat you in a Commander game. The environment is relaxed, casual yet classy and I highly recommend for wine and/or Magic.“

“If you only hit one spot in Seattle: go here. The pelmeni will send you to heaven and the owner is warm and welcoming. Turgenev vibes.“

“This location is truly exceptional! The staff is outstanding, with Daniel standing out in particular. He went above and beyond to ensure my group had a fantastic experience. I highly recommend both the ambiance and the service, especially Daniel and his remarkable hospitality!“

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

“Amazing Vegan 🌱 BBQ 🍕 and ranch dressing.“

“We go to Baguus for anniversaries, birthdays, or when entertaining out-of-town guests. The staff are friendly and helpful. The food is wonderfully delicious. Plus, I like ordering and paying with my phone. So efficient!“

“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! 👌“

“The ginger beer here is always great and you can sample the flavors before you order.

The prices are the menu are set so that you don't really save any money by ordering a larger size, so order the size you think you can finish.

As of October 2025 there is also a food option on the right side of the store that is selling fried chicken.

There really shouldn't be a tipping option as you are ordering at the counter.“

“A fun place to go for beer and golf.“

“Food is a side note, Covid-19 protocol and all. All I ever get are almonds, but they are served in a glass with a smile.Great selection of beer. Decent off premise sale prices. Cool in the heat, warm in winter. Too bad it is so far from my neighborhood.“

“Great vibes! Friendly quick staff, really chill atmosphere and the food is amazing! Absolutely would bring an out of towner here to show off what Seattle’s got! Yum! Definitely watch out for the double tip though! 15% is included and they asked for a tip on top of that tip.“

“Nice selection of beers, lots of outdoor seating . Should check it out“

“Omg I just had the predator sandwich and it was amazing. This was the best sandwich I ever had and definitely made with love and friendly customer service . I strongly recommend 2 thumbs up.“

“So first of all I would like to say if you grab a burger and fries from next door at Red Mill you are allowed to come inside here while you enjoy their enormous selection of cold beverages. Not only are they extremely helpful and knowledgeable but you have a huge selection. A very clean and inviting spot with an amazing view outside where the front is even open a nice day. Plenty of places to sit. Parking is a little tight so I tried to avoid right at lunch time.“

“A cafe for beer lovers! Quiet place for conversation. Amazing selection of beer.“

“Best Beer i have ever had“

“It Felt like “Cheers” when I walked in because immediate bonding and interaction with the other customers, and of course the service was friendly. The server asked what I wanted, and she gave me limitless samples of just about about all of their IPAs and spiked ciders, limeades. Music is ‘80s(best decade) so of course its cool 😎“

“🙂 Koreano Food truck had killer chicken mango tacos - great beer food - just enough flavor but not too much to overcome your favorite draft - and great price!“

“So glad to see Ridgecrest back open!“

“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“

“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 time last night with friends! Kirsten is an awesome bartender/hostess we just met. Always love going to The Toledo. Awesome food, perfect casual atmosphere, great prices, and drinks for every taste. HIGHLY recommend!“

“Many places have happy hour food and some places have food to accompany happy hour. This place has a great happy hour food menu, and a party of four can be satisfied by ordering from the menu and enjoying a couple of drinks. I don't ever feel like I need to grab a bite from the food trucks nearby, and think more about their small bites than their drinks.

It says taproom as they have a great selection of beverages, but if you are the type that wants to also eat something that isn't chicken tenders and fries... the Trailbend Taproom might land on your rotation soon.“

“Great service and phenomenal food! The best wood fired pizza anywhere!“

“i’ve been to gearhouse a few times to work and drink coffee and it is always such a delight! tonight i went to the wilderness women’s happy hour and had such a wonderful time talking with like minded women and getting to know more of the seattle community. gearhouse is a perfect place to create community!“

“Edit: They refunded the difference, I'll definitely be back! Got a growler filled here the price showed $18 but at the register the total was $27. Being as this was the first time I've ever filled a growler I assumed there was some sort of special growler tax but after researching that's not the case.“

“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 best original Mexican food in town . I recommend It I love the Chiles Rellenos and the flor de calabaza quesadillas“

“Single Hill is here!! Yakima is laid back fantastic but you can't always get there...!
SH makes so many IPAs, and now often outstanding ones! This will be a must stop for fresh hop season Sep-Oct every year! So looking forward to it this year. Hey Seattle, SH gave the fresh hop master class in 2023. They were 2nd to Holy Mtn ONLY in 2024. Expect big things every year from them (｡•̀ᴗ-)و ̑̑✧“

“Worth a stop by, for a pint or a four pack.“

“The water bowl is full and the pets are plentiful. 5 ⭐️“

“Good food and great beer conveniently located near the Luna Laundrymat!“

“lunch for 5 men today. all 12th man Burgers. they were legit!!!!!! onion rings Rocked!!!!!“

“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!!!!“

“Honestly wasn’t sure what to expect, but the food and staff here rocks. I’ll definitely be adding this spot to the rotation!“

“Recently had a corporate holiday party there 10/10. Everyone had a blast and the staff was fantastic!“

“I haven’t been to this ale house in many years. The wife used to come up here a lot before we met when she lived in the neighborhood. The English pub feel was great. Very homey with great friendly staff. The food was a very good. The salmon was moist and flaky with amazing flavors. The Root Beer was smooth and sweet just there was I like it. I would come back here again soon next time we are in the neighborhood.“

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

“Best calzone I've ever had in my life.
Marinara sauce was delicious with a nice tang, breads sticks were cooked to perfection.

Service was great and friendly.

I was here on a trip for 4 nights and my group ate here twice. Highly recommend“

“I have spent the last year ordering coffee beans from all over the US always with the intention of coming back to Seven. I recently received my order and prepared myself a double shot of Espresso Huli blend. Simply said it’s like coming back to heaven after deciding to take a walk through the wilderness. Thanks for doing what you do.“

“Very good BBQ. Brisket was excellent and pork ribs were very good as well. Member of our group raved about the burger. Only complaint was the slower checkout but they have to weigh each plate so not much they can do. We can’t wait to come back“
