30 Best Brewpubs 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!“

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

“great service and nice friendly people!“

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

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

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

“Popped in here on a Tuesday night and had an amazing time. In town for work, and wanted to try a brewery. Little did I know I’d spend two hours there laughing and enjoying myself. Talked with some locals and the bartender, enjoyed some beers and eats.

Perfect place to come solo and sit at the bar. Kind people. What more can you ask for??“

“The food and beer were amazing great deals!!“

“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 brews and great staff! 🍺 🍻 They also really care about and give back to the local youth soccer community. ⚽️🎉 This is definitely a local business to support.“

“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.“

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

“Reubens brews has a food truck outside called Reubens Eats. It has a short menu, prices are a bit high and portions are a bit small. The taste is good although it takes a while for food to come out sometimes (even when it's not busy). It's nice to have the option there most of the time.“

“I thought Elliott Bay was solid until I had a baby. Now I think it’s ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC because it’s the only family-friendly pub experience with good local beer anywhere nearby. Plenty of seating in a clean, open space. A few TVs to watch a game. And tasty fries!“

“Cozy environment! Great food.
Update: Todd reached out and apologized for the mistreatment. He affirmed many times that they have a respect culture and will address the staff about it. Thank you Todd!

Our server was very nice and helpful. Served some delicious allergy friendly salmon tacos while my boys had some dessert. Unfortunately I could hear the kitchen staff discussing the gossip about me. It gets pretty old to be slandered. I’m a nice person but people saying I’m not makes people wonder and discuss me. Would appreciate the gossip being done not within earshot. Thank you“

“amazing place very cool!!!“

“GREAT LOCATION! Its in a really pretty public space. Cider was great and the atmosphere was really nice for a rainy day. The staff member, Mack, was very friendly and bubbly and walked us through the ciders- helped make the menu not feel intimidating“

“Nice space, good beer, solid food friendly staff, pirate theme. Add in some roll doors to connect indoor and outdoor space, and it's a great spot for beer and a burger.

Kid-friendliness: A place for beer. Is that what your kids want?“

“amazing place very cool!!!“

“Best place ever for the big time events!“

“We had a few beers on a Tuesday afternoon. It was warm and quiet on a cold day in Seattle. The bartender was excellent, offering us samples of the beers that they had on draft. She was never rude or put off by giving us another sample.
They had a nice variety of beers as opposed to the typical IPA, IPA, IPA scene. Would definitely go back if in the area.“

“When I first walked in, I was greeted by the one I call “Lucky.” He didn’t have much to say, but he knows what the people want.
Cool music and nice, funny, attentive people in here. I love the classic bar feels this place gives. It reminds me of bars back home. They were playing some popular rock music from the 90s/2000’s…..always a plus.
They have a tap lined with 14 different beers. I tried two from their IPA selection and both were pretty good. They have a list of specialty cocktails, as well.
I ordered the Bacon Swiss Burger (the name escapes me) medium rare. It was closer to medium (it was medium) but still tasty. The bun had a great little crisp to it, which I was a fan of.
Overall, this seems like a fun nighttime spot while you’re out hopping. I would bring a date or friends here so give it a shot if you’re around and looking for a fun vibe.“

“Any place with almost nothing but ciders and sours is A in my book! Not a big beer guy at all but cider and sour yes! They have these in spades here. Cool spot as well! Open and inviting, casual seats and ample space. 4 and 6 pick flight options. Go during happy hour for 6 picks at $17. I enjoyed every cider I got and the 2 sours as well. I'd get them all again. Way cool spot for lovers of the cider and sour side of 'beer'.“

“We were there on a busy Kraken game night. Our order was delayed enough to almost miss our theater show - the staff was apologetic, but we just made it.

We love the food and atmosphere for pre-theater dinners; just leave plenty of time on busy game nights.“

“Elysian is absolutely one of my favorite breweries, not just because of the delicious beers they have on top, but they have some of the most amazing staff a brewery could ask for. I had the pleasure of being served by Taylor. She was incredibly helpful and sweet. She helped me find a new beer that I would enjoy, and was patient when I was a little crabby. (I hadn't ate all day, sorry again 😬) The service was amazing, and the food was tasty 10/10, will be back soon!“

“Always love to grab a plate here, have the best customer services.“

“Needs work. Can we approach a food truck without passing back out of the metal detector protection zone? I like my food protected from metal. Also the beers out here are more than in the stadium during "happy hour"? Really? Not happy.“

“Had a 10hr layover and saw the good reviews and looked for Brewtop Social near Salty's. There's some stairs, you go up and seat yourself. Overall, my server Jan was amazing. He had some good recommendations for beer and food. I ended up having the popular cheese curds and a bulgogi philly, with onion rings on the side. I wish I wouldve known I couldve gotten cheese curds as a side, but that was entirely my fault for not thoroughly reading the menu. The cheese curds are great. They come out hot and soft with a slight crispy exterior. The bulgogi philly sounded neat, so I ordered it. It was good but underwhelming compared to the cheese curds. I enjoyed my food but easily overspent what I intended to, so be careful. I liked it overall and would come back if I fly through SeaTac again.“

“Great sports bar with lots of TV’s and a friendly staff“
