50 Best Beer Bars near Lake Forest Park

“I visited on recommendation from a friend who knows I'd like the place and I must say, I had an absolutely loved the place! Friendly staff, cozy atmosphere, and the place feels very friendly with lots of nice art and fun stickers all over the place. As a furry from Salt Lake City Utah, I would absolutely visit again on another visit. You guys nailed it!“

“Extensive fresh beer list.“

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

“I can highly recommend the pig feast! The food was all very tasty and there was plenty of it, you could not leave without a full belly if you tried. There were community seating options as well as bar and the usual small table. I met some neat folks and had a good chat.

This is not a downside but it's worth noting that the event started at 7 but the food was not served until 7:50. Maybe that is by design, to give people a chance to sit down and have a drink and chat a bit. If I had been a solo diner or on a time schedule I would have been peeved, The food was self-serve, which is great, although when it came to the pig that meant working your way around the bones. It might be wise to use a de-boned pig next time, although if that ruins the 'whole suckling pig' theme then leave it as is.

I hear they also do a salmon feast and something around Thanksgiving, so I'm sure I will be back!“

“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.“

“My partner and I came in for our first ever Magic: The Gathering pre release event (beginner’s night) and had a really fun time! The owner Elijah has curated a super chill vibe and atmosphere, and one that is very welcoming and inclusive. I will definitely be coming back for future events!

Also a great selection of beer and wine!“

“This place is next door to us so we obviously order it pretty often. I've always gotten the pepperoni or the margarita. Today I tried something new the chicken tikka masala pizza and it was perfect. It's like eating the meal in slice.“

“Chef Mardini will be so missed!! This is such an excellent place to eat!“

“Chucks has a great selection of both canned beer and options on tap. You can always get a good variety here and they have new things to try all the time. They also offer 4-oz pours which is great for sampling things! Their food truck rotation is solid as well.“

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

“great service and nice friendly people!“

“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!“

“The agave drink from Rachel’s Ginger Beer was an absolute lifesaver and the highlight of my visit! It was incredibly refreshing and perfectly balanced. I added a splash of tequila, which turned it into the most delicious, vibrant cocktail.
If you order the Ma’ono chicken, do yourself a favor and grab a drink from Rachel’s Ginger Beer to wash it down. It was genuinely the best part of the meal. Whether with or without the tequila twist, their agave drink is a must-try. I’ll definitely be back just for this! Highly recommend.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“I came here as part of a group dinner. There aren't many tables in Botteco, but they had everything all set up for us. The service is great here. Our waitperson had good recommendations and brought out all entrees at the same time for our group. Everything was organized. The food was really good. I had the Churrasco plate with three kinds of meat. I really liked the pork sausage and garlic rice. They also had a couple different Brazilian stews that others in the group ordered. There is a full bar here, and a great selection of wine.“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“Morning coffee! Just opened up for mornings serving coffee and lotus drinks. Great atmosphere! My barista Katelyn makes coffee like art!“

“So glad to see Ridgecrest back open!“

“I love coming here on my days off from my barista job. It’s nice to get my caffeine fix without mentally clocking in. Even though I could grab a free coffee made perfectly to my standard at work, I choose to come here to fully enjoy my day off. The lattes are consistently good, the seating is cozy, and it’s just a short walk from home. The baristas are friendly too!“

“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“

“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 😎“

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

“Special Brews is my favorite bottle shop in WA! Constantly have 25 rotating beers on tap and so many bottles to choose from. Laid back vibe and dog friendly as well. Been going for close to 10 years and don't plan to stop anytime soon. Quintessential neighborhood hang!“

“If you like IPAs, especially hazy IPAs, then Single Hill Commons is the place for you. Excellent variety in addition to IPAs. Beer available in three different sizes, including 5 oz pours. Good selection of canned beers in case you want to take some home. On street parking was not a problem.“

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

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

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

“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!!!!“

“Cute little pizzeria. I think it's family owned and operated. The pizza is absolutely delicious. We usually aren't huge fans of wood fired pizza, but this crust was cooked to perfection. It had a great flavor and chew and it wasn't burnt at all. We were only given our waters and never got our drinks we ordered, but there was a large family there who were monopolizing the servers time. Cool place!“

“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!!!!!“

“I ate here after the Seahawks parade and I promise you it is the best ribeye I've had in my entire life. I give Big Mike sandwich five stars!!!“

“How many places can you say you've frequented for 20 years. Well, I've come to 74th Street Ale House since I moved to Seattle back in 2000. My love for this place started with a weekly trek to have the Reuban Sandwich and I'd have a Snakebite to drink.

After a decade my taste changed and I evolved to some of the best iced tea in Seattle and the blue cheese burger with the grilled onions and bell peppers. On top of the great menu they have weekly specials and the homemade soups and gumbo are fantastic.

Great place to meet up with friends and have a meal and drink some beers although the do have a full bar too. Mostly a neighborhood place with lots of locals and the staff know more of the regulars as they've worked here for a few decades too.

I highly recommend 74th Street Ale House and BTW I just came back from there and had the Gumbo, a Guinness and chased it down with a iced tea to boot.“

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

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

“Took dad for Father’s Day and we got the pitmaster tray. Food was really good poppy seed slaw was a big favorite, unfortunately the only thing that lacked was the brisket. The one thing I always look forward to most at a BBQ place. Everything well seasoned and we all enjoyed but hard to see the “star” brisket be dry, hopefully we just got unlucky with the cuts we recieved. We will be back.“
