Many places have happy hour food and some places have food to accompany happy hour. This place has a great happy hour food menu, and a party of four can be satisfied by ordering from the menu and enjoying a couple of drinks. I don't ever feel like I need to grab a bite from the food trucks nearby, and think more about their small bites than their drinks.

It says taproom as they have a great selection of beverages, but if you are the type that wants to also eat something that isn't chicken tenders and fries... the Trailbend Taproom might land on your rotation soon.

Place was very nice! Bartender was super friendly and the cooks did an amazing job on a kids pizza! Obviously put love and care into preparing for my nephew’s pizza! Highly recommend!

My wife and I came here for some beer and pizza, which was solid, but the quinoa salad?! Absolutely out of this world, I was caught completely off guard. Most pizza places serve up a good brew and a slice (which trailbend did!) but I was blown away by the fact that their salad wasn’t an afterthought, but was perfectly executed. I’d post a picture, but we already ate it all.

Food is great, appreciate them offering something that feels different to what most places are offering. Service was awesome however they cut my group off after 1.5 hours which we found unusual and almost offensive, more so when you consider the cocktails are mild and our group was chill (family group). I think their policy around this is maybe a bit conservative but hard to know as it wasn’t clear to us why they had such strict limits. Occupancy was also maybe 40%? Rethink going here in the future if you want to hang for a longer meal and hang out

Best taplist in Ballard for a taproom! Great selection of local and non-local beers. Didn't try the food so I can't rate that. Outdoor seating is really nice.

Extensive beer selection that is priced on par with other breweries and taprooms. Food is OUTRAGEOUSLY expensive, although I will say that my pizza was very good. Barely anyone there on a Friday night, so I’m curious if there is ever a lively environment.

This is only a review of their food. Yes, I get that this is mainly a beer spot but after a few drinks, most people want a bite to eat. We had the chicken wings and brewery blocks beef. Total price was $50 for 5 small wings doused in pretty standard bbq sauce and the smallest sandwich I’ve ever eaten. The sandwich did taste good but the wings at Safeway are far better. The server was nice enough to bring it over to Wheelie’s where we were sitting. Come here just for drinks and walk around for Cuban sandwiches that come with fries or birria tacos.

Smells great in here! Pizza, beer, and knowledgeable service. Open later than other breweries is another plus. The vibe inside is upscale.

So many great beers in tap, good happy hour, and family friendly vibe but still nice for a date or friends getting together.
Caesar salad is excellent.

Interesting unique food dishes with about as many vegetarian options as meat. And very tasty comfort options. Nice beer selection, they had Pliney the Younger the day I was there, so I will always think fondly of this place! The barstools ha e no foot rest, so if you're short, choose a table!
