Awesome community vibe, amazing food and beer!
Stopped in a bunch of times. The beer is good but not great. The food is passable. The service is abysmal. The last (and final) time we stopped in, my partner was told that they wouldn’t sell us a Yonder Cider to go (the Cashmere—if you know you know) because they “don’t make enough money on them”. Maybe an economics professor can stop in and give them a lesson on supply and demand and pricing. They got two stars because the beer is decent. We will never be back.
Great food, I got the lamb Mediterranean burger 🍔 I wish it was more juicer turned out thin and dry. Next time I would replace it with a beed patty. Sweet potato fries 🍟 are solid.
The burgers were average, neither good nor bad, I was going to give them one star, but they put José José and I'll give them 2, you can come if you have enough money to pay
Fantastic location with many good places to sit either inside or outside. I ordered a beer, cheeseburger and fries. Everything was top notch. The fries are incredible. Service was good as well. Pricey like most places but great food and beer and a nice place to hang out.
Great food, drinks, atmosphere. The service however was strange after I had a server make rude comments after not tipping through my card when I was going to leave a cash tip. It really ruined the experience. I hope they improve the quality of the customer service.
One of the best burgers I have ever had!
I've had this brewery on my list for awhile and it far exceeded my expectations. Not only is it a good microbrewery with a chill vibe but their food is phenomenal and the service was good too! We had the mushroom swiss burger, the cheeseburger, the smash burger special with pimento cheese and the grilled cheese with tomato jam. Also had the regular & sweet potato fries, super crispy and with the garlic aioli - bomb! Burgers were perfectly cooked and you can tell they use quality ingredients. Beers were delicious - had a pale, a sour, a saison and a helles. They brew them all on site. For dessert we tried their homemade ice cream bars which were fantastic - had the mint chip, blueberry pie and the coffee oreo. Wow some damn good ice cream!
If I ever get to visit Seattle again, this will be a mandatory stop. As if really good brews weren't enough, this place adds a killer menu (not just one but several vegetarian options, each of which sounded ridiculously delicious) and then piles on with excellent service by a kind, fun, attentive staff.
Five stars out of five still feels like too few. If I'm anywhere in Washington, I'm gonna find a reason to come back here.
I was told I couldn’t eat my food here, even though I had already ordered a beer and was sitting outside, quietly and respectfully.
The food was from Milk Drunk — the restaurant literally next door. I was just trying to enjoy a sandwich and some fries with my beer. The patio was mostly empty, plenty of seats, and I was planning to order another round.
Small businesses should support each other — not push paying customers away over something this petty.
I won’t be back.

Food is solid. Service can be hit or miss.
Star ratings. 1 bad. 2 below average. 3 average / neutral. 4 good. 5 excellent.
It's better than avg, thus good, but a couple misses. Would need to try again to solidify. Still better than an avg run of the mill corporate place. It was a standard micro brewery. Nothing special. Mostly average. Had 5 different ones.
Burger and grilled cheese were good. Fries were on point. Brussels sprouts were cooked well but needed more grease like a glaze. Otherwise, they just tasted dry after a few.
Mac n cheese and chili had flavor but were very watery. The tomatoe content in the chili definitely contributed to that.
Just tried the smash burger! Incredible. Keep it on the menu full time!
Loved this spot for lunch! Per friendly and lots of comfortable outdoor seating. Everyone really loved the food and the beer was exceptionally cold!
I had heard for a bit now that the burgers at this spot were really good and finally had the chance to try them out. There was plenty of street parking nearby and I lucked out with a spot right in front. The place was not busy at all which was nice so seating was quick and easy.
Our party had ordered three items, the beacon burger, the mushroom swiss burger, and the garlic parmesan fries. I honestly think that the star of the show was the beacon burger. The bread was light, the burger patty cooked to a nice medium as requested, and the pork belly was a great touch, lots of flavor here. The mushroom swiss burger was also good but just doesn't stand out to me as much as the beacon burger does. The garlic parmesan fries were not as good as the burgers. They were very greasy and there was about three tablespoons of oil sitting at the bottom of the bowl of fries. In addition I could tell the garlic was the jarred stuff with a strong sour taste from the jarred garlic liquid. I would recommend opting for one of the other options for french fries.
As other reviews had pointed out, the service is not great which unfortunately, is exactly what we also experienced. It just seemed like our server didn't want to deal with us and wanted us to place our order and get out. We hadn't even finished saying what we wanted to order and the server just darted away. I could understand if it was busy with lots of hustle, but the place was empty in the afternoon when we had went, so I had hoped for a slightly better experience. Burgers 5/5, Fries 3/5, service 2/5.
