50 Best Beer Bars in Seattle

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

“Nice people’s and great place for have fun 😎“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“This is the loveliest little place that despite its delicious menu and incredible cocktails still feels kind of unknown. Even friends that have lived in WSea for years haven’t heard of its existence. Even though I’d like to keep it that way, I’d much rather have it succeed and never go away.

Also, got to meet one of the owners tonight, super nice guy with very kind friends. The bathroom even has VIP club-style amenities like toothpicks, mints and lotion. We ❤️ Locöl.“

“Great atmosphere, kid friendly, awesome selection, and great staff!“

“Best crunchy spicy chicken I had, I love that they have only drumsticks, and the order is huge. The cucumber poke was so refreshing and the pickled radish that comes with the order is so fresh and crunchy. The chicken sandwich was on the smaller side for me so I will definitely stick to the drumsticks. Miduem spicy is just right and I like spicy.“

“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.“

“Excellent selection and knowledgeable friendly staff“

“A go-to location for a light meal and solid drink.
Pros:
1. Food designed for group sharing.
2. Excellent service and knowledgeable staff.
3. Food and drink were very nice.
Cons:
1. Atmosphere mixes genres
2. Price is a little high per skewer
3. Small selection of mead
Recs:
1. Smaller pours of mead in exchange for larger selection/flights
2. Remove TVs
3. Ale horns/wood mugs or copper to save money
4. Dive into theme (tapestry, sconces, runes)
5. Make skewer flights off bulk purchase themes (dairy, poultry, wild game etc). Make it cheaper for people to sample outside their comfort zone otherwise you will be stuck with a lot of duck hearts and herring at the end of each night.“

“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.“

“Always a favorite of mine, albeit i live and work in Pike Place Market. No food other than snacks, but you are permitted to bring in to-go, so really no problem! The beers are ALL PNW regional, and remarkably well-curated. And, a plus to wheelchair visitors (I am one) the insurance bureaucracy of the recent electrical fire has finally been cracked, and bathrooms on both levels are once again operational. Huzzah! And, I am now enjoying the possible last nitro keg of Boundary Bay Stout since they are retiring and closing their doors permanently.“

“I have lived in Seattle for decades and never have i had a better experience than i did tonight at full throttle. the beers were amazing and the diversity of the selections available was truly impressive. that coupled with the amazing service given by the bartender, Lauren, made the whole visit even better. Lauren was an absolute pleasure to interact with and made me feel like I was a friend that she had known for ages! she’s got my vote for employee of the month! Would definitely recommend to any who enjoys great service and amazing beverages!“

“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.“

“great service and nice friendly people!“

“Highly recommend! The buffalo chicken salad was the best salad I’ve had in a long time.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“I couldn’t recommend this place more. Bobby is an amazing bartender and truly went above and beyond for my companies holiday party. A man that loves what he does and goes the extra mile (literally) to make sure everyone is well taken care of! Thanks Bobby, we’ll be back soon!“

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

“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.“

“Excellent beer in a modern/light-filled space with TVs for big games/matches. Very chill and friendly staff, which is a lot more than can be said for a certain other brewery on Jackson 😝 Haven’t tried the food yet, but it looks terrific!“

“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 ̑̑✧“

“Food and service was amazing. 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.“

“The manager here is completely rude to his customers and his staff. Refuses to refund or replace and item made incorrectly. Just terrible customer service. Think twice before giving your money to such a terrible person. Read many other reviews that talk about how the staff here is treated. The food is mediocre at best, but even of it was better, service matters. I'd encourage the owners to think about how they treat people and how they would like to be treated as a customer when the business was at fault. Disgusting. There were mushrooms sent to a kid with an allergy when it was clearly noted on the order to leave them off, there was a hair in the pizza. I would encourage the owner to take a class in customer service and learn to do what is right instead of being rude and snarky.“

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

“Great selections of beer, cider and wine. Typically have a food truck or two!“

“craft cocktails and Barrel aged beers“

“Everett Ivars Seafood is Clean and professional staff. 5 star“

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

“The food and service were excellent. My kids were a little freaked out by the homeless man banging on the glass and yelling at us outside of the restaurant; I was hoping staff would have asked him to leave, but he stuck around for quite awhile. Other than that it was great.“

“Love this place and simple food they got. The beer selection is intense and love the local community vibe! My favorite place in Seward now“

“The hazy "Kiwi" IPA best we had during our Seattle visit! Bartenders great at giving us traveling advice! Highly recommend!“

“Stumbled into King Leroy while on a solo day running errands. Sat at the bar which was extremely comfortable and inviting with comfortable chairs. The bartender was super friendly and served up a great dirty martini! Ordered the Jalapeno cheddar Hush Puppies- which if I being honest I found salty and a bit undercooked. Definitely not a bad experience overall however, would definitely return!“

“nice staff and they have a great collection of drinks on tap, including some that aren’t normally available in the US! the cards work pretty seamlessly for self-serve and definitely save a lot of time compared to a normal bar. prices are very reasonable per oz.“

“You can drink and then if you’re having a “Bad Hair Day” you can get a haircut!“

“I go there often and it feels almost a second home.💖“

“First time visiting, yeah the music is a little loud but it’s a bar what do you expect. I’m a sweet drink kinda girl and loved the captains tea! Didn’t get any food so can’t review that but the cook was really nice and the food I saw coming out looked yummy so I look forward to trying it when I go again! Great views can’t ask for much more.“

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

“Love this place and simple food they got. The beer selection is intense and love the local community vibe! My favorite place in Seward now“

“Amazing Vegan 🌱 BBQ 🍕 and ranch dressing.“

“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.“

“This place has great pizza beer and staff! Highly recommend!“

“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“
