31 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 service and nice friendly people!“

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

“This is mine and my husband’s first time visiting Elysian brewing company restaurant and we will definitely come back and try it again! We had the foot-long bratwurst and you could really taste the beer! It was topped with a generous amount of sauerkraut, Dijon mustard on a poppyseed bun! Really delicious 😋! Our waitress was wonderful and took time with us! Thank you for the nice experience today! 💗“

“Yes they are a brewery, but gosh damn they make a incredible double smash burger, it was probably one of the best burgers I’ve ever had, and I’ve had alot of burgers. My grandpa got fish tacos and he said that they amazing too. I highly recommend this brewery, for anyone who wants a quick stop on lake union! You can even boat up to it.“

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

“Great spot just across the street from the lake. Had really good service from the bartender—offered samples, attentive when drinks getting low, friendly. There’s one side of the pub that is kid friendly with games. The other side is great for those without kids in tow, including a nice outdoor space during nice weather. They advertise Sunday brunch but haven’t tried that yet.“

“amazing place very cool!!!“

“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!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Such a vibe tonight! Our bartender Brynna. S was super friendly and really made us feel taken care of. She had the best energy and even put us onto a wine that totally hit the spot. You can tell she loves what she does—it made our night that much better. Will definitely be back for another round at her bar!“

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

“amazing place very cool!!!“

“The service and beer are first rate and I always look forward to my next visit. Now that Rooftop is part of the mix the excellent choices have simply grown. Get a slider or the fish and chips and enjoy quality time with your friends at this great neighborhood pub.“

“Best place ever for the big time events!“

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

“I had a fantastic experience at McMenamins Queen Anne. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere struck that perfect balance of relaxed, welcoming, and uniquely Northwest—exactly what you hope for in a spot that works just as well for families as it does for a casual night out.

I ordered the Communications Breakdown burger with a Beyond Meat substitution, and it was excellent. The flavors were well-balanced, the burger was cooked perfectly, and it didn’t feel like a “compromise” choice at all—it stood on its own. The fries were crisp, well-seasoned, and exactly what you want alongside a great burger.

The beer selection was just as strong as expected—fresh, flavorful, and a great complement to the meal. McMenamins always delivers on that front, and this location is no exception.

One of the biggest surprises of the night was dessert. The churros were way better than expected—crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and absolutely worth saving room for.

Overall, this is a spot that truly delivers across the board: great food, solid drinks, a fun and inviting environment, and something for everyone. Highly recommend whether you’re heading out with friends, family, or just looking for a reliable, enjoyable meal.“

“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. 🙌🏽“

“Lots of good food options- proper entrees as well as affordable snacks. Also a unique set of non alcoholic drinks. Overall a great experience as we spent a few hours (happy hours) working here and were checked in on the staff who were very friendly.“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“We hosted a company event here, and it was awesome! The owner and on-site staff were wonderful to work with. It’s a fantastic location right by the market and the water, and they have a cool space. We got great feedback from our attendees on the food and drinks. All for very fair prices.

I’m not a Seattle local, but I will be back someday!“

“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.“

“best breakfast for an airport!! our server/manager went above and beyond, making sure our food was prepared perfectly.“

“Nice, casual brewery has great food to accompany your beer. I really enjoyed the fish and chips - two pieces of cod with nicely done fries - $20. The fish is beer battered. You pick up your food from a truck parked out front; they give you a buzzer so you know when your food is ready. I don't normally drink near beer, but I didn't want to drink at lunch - and Reuben's NA beer pleasantly surprised me. It was really good!
Staff does a nice job and the space is clean and comfortable. I had a nice lunch date with my friend, Dale, and will definitely return!“

“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.“

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

“we had great food an the best service great job all around“

“We frequently dine at Elliott Bay Brewing in Lake City. We had great service from Will, our waiter. We come often and he totally remembered our usual fish and chips order. I enjoy their rotating cider choices, and they are happy to oblige with samples to try. The meal was perfectly prepared. Nice fresh fish, tasty Caesar salad. $70 included tip. My husband had a margarita and I had a schooner of cider.“
