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!“

“We had the absolute best time having dinner at Elysian Brewery! We lucked out with a fantastic table right by the open windows on one of the most beautiful summer days of the year. The breeze and the atmosphere were just perfect.
​The service really made the experience even better. The wait staff was absolutely amazing, incredibly friendly, and super helpful with everything we needed.
​The food was also spot on. If you're looking for great bar food, they deliver. I ordered the chicken fingers, an excellent, super satisfying choice. My friend went with the tacos and absolutely loved them.
​And, of course, the beers were awesome. They have a really nice, diverse variety on tap. I had the White Magic, and it was incredibly delicious, super smooth with those nice hints of orange and spice.
​Great vibes, top-notch service, fantastic food, and killer brews. We really enjoyed our time here and will definitely be back!“

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

“Exceptional atmosphere, one of my favorite places in the city.
Wooden chairs, along the lake, great sunsets. What’s on the tap changes frequently and adds variety. Lines move fast, food has unique seasoning.
Great for a date, hang out with friends, or a pitstop when you’re out on the water.
Bring your friends, it’s the best, you have to go“

“Love it every time I go! Great beers, tasty food and the employees are all friendly, attentive and overall just awesome!“

“Jellyfish Brewing is a perfect local spot next to Green Lake Park. Great place to stop after walking, scootering, or wandering around the neighborhood. They had good beer options, cocktail options, and a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. I highly recommend the Sea Wasp Scotch Ale and the Cannonball Oatmeal Porter 😋

Also, the pinball machines are a fun touch — though the Demolition Man machine did eat my four quarters, which honestly felt like it was performing a full capitalism thesis on the themes of Demolition Man. Still had a great time. Cool spot, good drinks, and a fun neighborhood vibe.“

“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!“

“I have been a big fan of Elliot Bay for 8 years now and I'm shocked that it took me this long to write this review. At this point I've had pretty much everything on their menu and most of it is amazing. The beer is always cold and delicious. But the staff is by far and away what caused me to write this review. The restaurant next door gave the reservation away for my birthday party and we were stuck scrambling to figure out where to go. Elliot Bay was so kind and moved some tables around for us so that we could all sit together, on a busy Saturday night. I call that going above and beyond. I'm so grateful!“

“amazing place very cool!!!“

“amazing place very cool!!!“

“Ballard not only has Jimothy now but all the great neighborhood spots! Wonderful service, delicious food (not just standard bar/pub food either). Great beer list and an extra star for the option to make it a radler. Perfect spot for gathering with friends to watch a game! Highlights: Large outdoor patio, dog friendly and decent parking options (on a Sunday)!“

“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!“

“Best place ever for the big time events!“

“Jenny I. was our server. She did a fantastic job. We came to the brewery, after watching the Mariners beat our Cubs in the 9th inning, very disappointed; however, she was very friendly and made our evening. Her service stood out. We will be back….“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“This was a good brew pub with a wide variety of beer choices. The food options are pretty good and align with simple but tasty handheld. I had the fish and chips which the fish was good but the fries were underwhelming. They were just basic fast food style fries unfortunately.“

“I wish we could have fully immersed ourselves here. As passport holders, we wanted to relax and take it all in, but we could find no parking with a big pick-up truck. We had one person stay with the vehicle up on a nearby neighborhood hill, while the rest of us hurried in and had a shot so we could get stamps. I couldn't really appreciate the place given the hurry up/shots/leave. I wish we could have taken it all in“

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

“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“

“I got the #2 which was delicious and I hate beer, just dropped in to use the restroom and decided to support! The staff was super nice and friendly the cashier was very nice and accommodating as I tried beer but didn’t really like some cause I’m not a beer drinker!!!! This was Hands down some of the best service I’ve received since moving to Washington!!!“

“Weekend breakfast here is wonderful! We've had breakfast here twice and will make it a regular weekend stop. Great food variety - definitely try the Malted Banana Blueberry Pancakes, Biscuits & Country Gravy, and Biscuit Sandwiches. They also make a really good Mimosa, Bloody Mary, and Peach Bellini. The coffee itself is worth the trip. Great service, just like we always have here.“
