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 😎“

“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!“

“Excellent selection and knowledgeable friendly staff“

“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!“

“They don't actually serve food inside, but there's a rotating selection of food trucks that are right outside, and they're always great.
Unbelievably vast selection of beer and other assorted beverages. It can be a bit overwhelming to be honest! Wish they kept the coolers a bit colder, But that is a minor complaint in an otherwise ocean of awesome!“

“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.“

“Nice spot. Close to everything. The bar tender was friendly. The beers were actually really good! I loved the laid back/ dads garage theme for the brewery.

Locals were there watching basketball when we stopped in. Seems like a fun neighbourhood hangout that tourists can also pop in and out of.“

“Incredibly great wine bar, MTG store, and boardgame hub. I attended a pre release for the TMNT set and was greeted with a paired mini-glass of wine and a slice of pizza. Really pleasant staff and a clean environment. Big fan, and I will def be back.“

“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“

“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.“

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

“great service and nice friendly people!“

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

“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.“

“Everything I’ve had here is so good! Feature items are always thoughtful and delicious. A regular menu go to is the twice baked potato, which is always so good. This weekend she featured a crab roll, which is one of the best I’ve ever had service is friendly and personal, and the environment is very cozy and welcoming.“

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

“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!“

“Love Rachel’s Ginger Beer! We always have a great experience here.

So many flavors to sample and Lily was so helpful in making suggestions for the ‘build a mule’ option. Get it to go or sit and enjoy with a modern diner atmosphere :)“

“Métier is such a great community resource. Their coconut porter is as good of a porter as I've had, and even better on nitro at the brewery. Their partnership with Little Brown Girl provides great food to go along with the great beer. I had their shrimp bahn mi sandwich, which was great. They had a comedy night the day I was there, which was an extra bonus.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Food and service was amazing. Highly recommend“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“Had a fantastic pit stop and the bar staff are really friendly and know their stuff about the drinks. Recommend.“

“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.“

“Delicious brisket pho for lunch today! Server was nice and service was great!“

“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 ⭐️“

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

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

“The ribs are fine but overpriced, and they skimp on the sauces, which is demonic. The mac and cheese is embarrassing. However, I'm an expert on banana pudding in Seattle and this place has the best in the city. I've tried them all. It's what banana pudding is suppose to be.“

“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.“

“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!!!“

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

“Absolutely hands down THE BEST PIZZA JOINT EVER!!!!!! I highly recommend their wood oven white mushroom pizza with a Cesear salad. It was divine for both my husband and I. It even out did Marco's Pizza and we are now more finicky in our old age about good quality food!
And to boot, they came to my rescue when phone died and let me charge it while we eat a very late dinner. Our server was wonderful and prompt, the atmosphere was quiet enough to be able to talk with our friends yet had good music from the 60s thu the 90s.“
