50 Best Craft Breweries in Seattle

“Your food and drinks are amazing! Had a burger with a BUN for the first time in a VERY long time! I'd pretty much given up on gluten free buns. The peach sour and the beer was delish! Felt so good to know I could eat anything on the menu and not worry about any cross contamination!“

“Georgetown Beer is fantastic! The beer is always fresh and full of flavor, and the customer service is top-notch. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and make every visit enjoyable. Highly recommend Georgetown Beer for great brews and great people.“

“If you’re willing to walk, explore and find breweries in Seattle then this is worth a visit. Not easy to find but then again that’s good as it’s off the beaten track and not touristy. Imperial stout is strong and warming - but small measures as it’s 12.9%! My new favourite summer beer is Acid wave - kiwi, lime and jasmine tea , yep and you can taste all of these . They’ve not put ingredients that you can’t taste or smell like some breweries do! ! They’ve made a sour beer that you can drink and enjoy as opposed to drink and be in pain. They also do food, so after a walk looking for the place, there is sustenance to be had! . Friendly as well.“

“Newly opened as a tap room! Super inviting atmosphere with delicious beer on tap! They can also usually can things to go, and if you bring your own growler they’ll fill it up! Support local Black owned businesses!“

“A family friendly space. Good for loving parents to either little humans or pets or both. There is a separate kitchen that serves bites. You have to order separately, so the brewery shares the space. Not a place to be seeking royal treatment, but it is chill and I will definitely be revisiting for as long as possible in the future. A laissez faire experience.“

“We tried 8 beers here, and each one was different to the others and didn't match other beers from other spots. The atmosphere is friendly, and you can even be immersed in beer brewing in real time.“

“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! 👌“

“Machine House Brewery is a solid brewery with a good selection of craft beers. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed, perfect for hanging out with friends or enjoying a casual drink. The staff are knowledgeable and happy to give recommendations. While it’s not over-the-top or flashy, it’s a reliable place for a quality beer experience in a comfortable setting. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area.“

“Jellyfish Brewing Co. Makes the most delicious, inventive beer! It’s our favorite watering hole. And we are so happy it’s so close.“

“Fill me with beer and take me home.“

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

“I'm on the board of a community organization that held our annual event at Obec this year and our group had such a fun time. Wayne and the bartender staff all did a fantastic job making sure we were well taken care of. Our small event planning team mostly got to just relax and enjoy gathering with our community after we were done with our very easy set up. Stacey, who oversaw the planning for the event, was a delight to work with in helping us organize, answering all of our questions, ensuring everything was tracked, and even helping us coordinate a food vendor that served delicious tacos made on-site.

Also, I just really love this space... the giant Art Nouveau style mural on the outside of the building, the twinkle lights on the barrels in the event space, the secret door between the main bar and Side Pull Lounge with a library of vinyl record albums, and the lighting and wall decorations all make this place feel like it's thoughtfully put together and loved without being overly stiff.

We will definitely be back.“

“Great location, good beer, patio, and motorcycle racing theme, if you’re into that“

“One of my favorite seattle breweries! Great complex sours ranging from mild to lip puckering tart (although this is coming from a sour sensitive palate FYI), as well as stouts, ipas, braggots and more! Highly recommend for anyone visiting the Seattle area who enjoys beers. It's definitely worth the visit! My standouts (as of June 2025) include smoke show, rampart sour red, armchair philosopher, and Peter Peter pear eater.“

“fair isle has rapidly become my go to brewery since they opened. a little off the beaten path means it doesn't get nearly as loud and "bro-tastic" as the other Ballard breweries. the beer itself is excellent and their experimental nature means their is always something new to try. the occasional food is always tasty. overall, fair isle is my favorite of all the Ballard breweries; a well hidden secret that I hate to share.“

“I went here before seeing MCR at T-Mobile Park. You'd never be able to tell from the outside, but this place is cooler than anything else in the area. The beer is delicious, and the vibes are next level. Do yourself a favor man, hit this place up.“

“Love this spot! Super chill neighborhood brewery with a great variety of beers. 🍻 Trivia night on Thursdays is always a blast, and happy hour (3–5pm) is a solid deal. They sell their beer in cans too, which is perfect for taking home.

Sometimes you’ll catch a food truck out front, but they’re cool with you bringing your own food as well. It’s a cozy, couple-owned place with an awesome community vibe. Definitely one of my go-to breweries!“

“Great place to put the kick stand down for a few!
Be sure to get the story behind the co-op idea and name (initially they thought the concept would work like a Flying Bike 🤣)!
Friendly service, laid back vibes, and the hazy was crisp and fresh. Just won a medal for their porter too, but wasn’t in the mood.
Love how they develop and select their offerings…maybe co-ops can lift off, if’n you pedal hard enough!“

“Great MicroBrewery! Staff & Brews are some of the Best out in the Industry!“

“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“

“Prestige and quality beers. They have developed a reputation for some of the best beers in Seattle, and for me the best in West Seattle. Some variety with an IPA focus. Try the lofty stouts. Really cool location with ample room for guests inside and out.“

“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.“

“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“

“great place friendly host“

“Love this place! Excellent customer service and beers!! My only complaint goes to the clientele - when did it become a thing to bring your children to a bar/brewery? Some nights I’ve been here and there are equal toddlers to adults in the building!“

“Great little local ‘small batch’ microbrewery. I had the ‘Queen Anne's Revenge’ (IPA) and the ‘Boathouse Wit’ (Belgian-style witbier), both were excellent. They also have a stand at Magnolia’s Farmers Market Saturday’s. Hadn’t tried the food yet. I will be going back. Dog friendly. Parking is tight on weekends so you probably will park on the street.
Please remember to not drink & drive!“

“Always great beer creations and friendly staff.“

“A consistently good, but rarely exceptional brewery. Perhaps my expectations are too high due to the history, head brewer, etc for this brewery, but I was expecting some truly fantastic IPAs. While all of the IPAs on tap were definitely above average, nothing blew us away in the way we hoped. Cloudburst definitely knows what they are doing, though. I expect them to be a pillar of Seattle brewing for the foreseeable future. Staff was fine, but not particularly friendly or knowledgeable. While we went in the middle of winter, it was approximately the same temperature inside as it was outside as well. There are a few kinks to work out as far as service goes.“

“Great beer here, all styles that I tasted are true to style. I love tasting beer right in the middle of where the brewing magic happens. Greg the owner is very knowledgeable and passionate about his craft and it shows in the quality of his beer. Definitely waiting for his spruce tip pale again.“

“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“

“Nice selection of unique and good beers. Food kind of average today but still enjoyed the vibe and overall experience. Staff at bar was great.“

“I love Halcyon! This is our favorite local spot. Good beer and elevated bar food—I recommend the chili pork dumplings 🤤“

“healthy deliciousness! what more can I say, except I have to get me some!!“

“Our son is in the Navy so we came up to visit him before his deployment. Decided to head to this wonderful spot we to her a lot of breweries and try mini beers. This little spot is very friendly. The vibe is very relaxed. Brewery is extremely clean and the bartender was extremely friendly and gave plenty of recommendations on what to try And what he recommended all of the beers were unique and very flavorful, including the barley wines, which sometimes can be a little overwhelming. I highly recommend this place. The beers are priced very well and the pours Are perfect in size. Make sure you stop by and see Sam“

“Popped in for a beer while cruising the area - nice stop. The session was an easy drinker and flavorful, while still being light - just like a session should be! Didn’t try the food, but several plates were saw looked appealing. Industrial vibe but friendly patron patrons and staff.
Definitely with a visit if you’re on a walk about too.“

“Great brewery and setting. Fun ambiance.“

“Was a rooftop regular. It has been really neat to come see this place, and I was definitely missing out. Amazing food and beer, chill atmosphere, kind of seems like it's going to be a match made in heaven (I hope). Should have come before, but so glad to discover it now. Come on by!“

“They have lovely outside fires where you can sip draft beer and much on fresh hot soft pretzels and stone ground mustard.“

“Ah, there's goodness a foot and it comes in the form of a tap. Fremont Brewing welcomes all to their festive beer garden, and their liquid courage in the form of hop laced excellence. The enviroment is classic beer garden with that Seattle twist, picnic benches, flora, and food trucks. Yes, you must pair your drink with some edible sustenance, not required but I suggest it. It's a casual affair, so bring a friend or two or three, find some seating, and kick back and relax, good times await. That inner child you've been seeking to discover has just been tapped. It's deliciously good.“

“My partner and I hosted our welcome drinks/dinner for our Feb. 2025 wedding at the Barrel House. We are so happy with how everything turned out! Lisa was very helpful, she showed us the space before we booked and answered all our questions. They offered a great variety of beers, ciders, and N/A options. We used the projector screen, and mic, and my family went nuts with decorating the barrels, super fun! We highly recommend Reuben's Barrel House for private parties/events!“

“Tasty beers with a cool industrial vibe. A great selection of fruity sours packed with flavor. A black raspberry grisette stole my heart... Also, bonus points for being right under the SeaTac flight path. Super fun to watch jets flight right above the patio.“

“fun atmosphere, staff knew how to sell what was on tap, excited to go back“

“great little brewery!“

“Cloudburst reminds me of how breweries used to be 10 plus years ago. They find some space inside the actual brewery operations. Set up a small bar counter and a few tables. Open the garage door and serve beer for a few hours in the late afternoon-evening, maybe four days a week tops. I miss that vibe.“

“The new Po’ Boy and Tings food menu is the ‘FREAKING BOMB’!! Large menu had the 8” Oyster PO Boy. Huge amount of oyster and get this. It wasn’t fried to a crisp. Super juicy and killer flavor.
Of course Great Notion beer was crazy on point. Thank you guys.“

“Probably the best alcoholic ginger beer I’ve ever tasted (the imperial). Shocked this was my first time trying it. But now that I know this exists, I’m sure it will be accompanying me to every backyard party this summer. Thanks for making a great product yall!“

“Love the beer, the staff are dope, but they close early. They're on winter hours so last call happens by around 8:30/8:45. By the time I get off work and go to make my way there it just isn't worth the drive. Otherwise really enjoy the environment there, less chaotic than the Ballard location.“

“A great neighborhood place. The beer tenders were amazing and the beer was awesome 🤩“
