50 Best Craft Breweries in Seattle

“Great niche spot at the end of the waterfront front in Seattle. Amazing patio, comfortable bar seats, laid back and good vibes... and obviously the beer is amazing!
Friendly staff, and the food is on point 💯

Plus, they will put on the sports ball game if you are a sports nerd like me 🤓“

“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!“

“This was my first time here. I've always wanted to go, but never knew it's exact location. It's the perfect micro-brew pub. Spacious, great high tops. I like the outdoor patio. Georgetown brewing makes some great brews. I was there at a release party for Shelly's Leg IPA which comes out every June. Very tasty.“

“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“

“Saison is great here. Love that they are super dog friendly (they even have treats and water bowls) and lots of shaded outdoor space. This place is 21+ too which is a relief. Kids are cool, but sometimes it's nice to have a place without them.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Five stars for being a great place to watch Arsenal FC win or lose with other Arsenal fans in a business with staff who really care about your Arsenal watching experience. They even added an outside television for the UEFA Champions league which was AWESOME because the other Arsenal pub had nearly 200 people standing in line outside more than 2 hours before the 2026 UEFA CL game had started and so we then headed to Machine House Brewery and saw they were also full inside and that they added the outdoor television!! It was a majorly appreciated addition and it felt like a connected community standing together outside watching our Gunners!

🎶 North London Forever 🎶“

“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.“

“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.“

“Amazing beers Amazing vibe !
Love the brews and the outdoor desk !
Idea spot for some ipas and sours ! We even took few beers home.
Dog friendly and have outdoor fire deck and lot of space for big party's! Staff is super friendly and welcoming as well!
Ideal for beer hopping as well since there a lot of brewery around !“

“good beer, friendly service, welcoming atmosphere“

“Neat brewery tucked away in an industrial area that for sure could use more options like this. Service was friendly and inviting and the outdoor area relaxing to experience. We need more breweries focusing on sours in the area, so it was great to see so many at Dirty Couch!“

“great place friendly host“

“I can’t tell you how much I love this place. Flying Bike is a corner stone of the Greenwood community. I have been doing Run Club there for 3 years. They are always rotating their taps with new and exciting beers to try. Their Cold IPA is one of my favorites (please bring it back!) Since Flying Bike is a co-op, members actually work there. They are deeply invested in the success of the business and go above and beyond to hold community events and make it fun for everyone. It’s a great place for families in the afternoon and date nights in the evenings. Being a member has a ton of benefits, like members only tasting events and even choosing what style will be their next beer. Please try it for yourself and experience why this is the place to be whenever you’re in Greenwood.“

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

“We hosted a meet & greet here the evening before our wedding. Jess let us reserve a table (we were expecting 10 - 12 out of towners) and there was something for everyone to drink. Our sober friends appreciated the NA options. The current watermelon seltzer is fab. Thank you so much, Ladd & Lass - we're so glad you're in the neighborhood!“

“Love this place! Thank you for being open late and being a good neighbor in the community. Food options are great. Only feedback is that the hop water here is unlike any hop water I've ever had (unfortunately in a bad way). Always tastes stale/off. Would love a revamp on the NA options.“

“A definite hidden gem! Everyone is so nice, all the staff and all of the regulars were so welcoming! I threw my boyfriend a casual surprise birthday celebration and it was the perfect location!
The drinks are delicious, the ramen food truck was delicious, and we will definitely be back!“

“Craig and the rest of the Rooftop Brewing crew run a warm and welcoming experience. While most of the seating is outside it is still cozy with a very easy going atmosphere. A few TVs to catch the game but not too distracting like a bar only focused on sports. Just the right balance.There are heaters to keep you at a good temperature even when mother nature decides to challenge you.Bonus is a food truck only feet away to keep you nourished as you sip your tasty brew.“

“Great beer. But it smells quite badly in here — like last year’s grease fire. Recommend the beer but not the taproom.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

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

“great little brewery!“

“Always great beer creations and friendly staff.“

“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!“

“Amazing beer, fantastic atmosphere, and huge appreciation for making the brewery both kid-friendly and pet-friendly. The small imbiss stand is a hidden gem as well — great food and a perfect complement to the experience.

But the real star is the beer… absolutely awesome. Great flavors, great vibe, and definitely a spot worth visiting again.“

“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.“

“It's always packed when weather is nice, and vibes are on point, but as a result, it can get CRAZY busy. We came earlier in the afternoon on a day with gray weather and it was still very hard to find a table. Beer was decent but at $8 a draft, not really a good value.

I'd say swing by if you're in the area, or if there's something you're interested in and it's very early in the afternoon, by all means go for it, but you can't just wander by on a Friday or Saturday in the sunshine and expect to find a seat.“

“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!“

“If I could give this a higher rating, I would! Some of the best beers I have tasted. We loved the Over Ripe and the berry smoothie. They were out of other ones we wanted to try. The service was also spectacular. We will go out of our way to make sure to come back!“

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

“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!“

“I absolutely love what this brewery is turning out. A must visit if you like Sours (milkshake or traditional), NEIPAs, or Seltzerzs. Service was spot on. They asked questions to help select the perfect beverage. Parking is a pain and needs to be factored into the visit as it was $15... which was my only complaint.“

“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.“

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

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

“Great beer; sketch location. I begrudge them for neither!“

“All of the staff we interacted with were Top Notch! Superb! This was our first time visiting and based on the EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE ALONE…we will be back. We had appetizers. We were introduced to a yummy pb&j shot 🫣🥳😋
The manager is the manager for a reason…it starts at the top. 🙌🏽“

“Enjoyed our visit. Great outdoor seating. Friendly staff.“
