This is a Seattle neighborhood I think I've only been to once and that was when I came here to Broadview. It's more of a chill area of town and I'm sure the resident's of this neighborhood that enjoy craft beer take advantage of it's location. I had a couple of beers here which were quite good. They were guest tap beers as this is a tap house and guest taps is a part of what they do. It's primarily made of of local breweries or at least ones in the Pacific Northwest. It was a good selection and the beers I had off the tap were quite refreshing. I also browsed and purchased through their refrigerated section containing cans of beer to take home. I found a few that grabbed my interest. Some beers were collaborations with other breweries that I wanted to try so I definitely made sure to get those beers for sure. Nice, neighborhood beer bar and bottle shop all around and I am glad I paid a visit here and the less known and quieter neighborhood in the bustling metropolis was a nice change of pace. read more

Neighborhood treasure, bringing the community together. Kid and dog friendly, good lineup of food trucks. Spacious atmosphere offering a family-friendly environment to enjoy. read more

Located in Seattle's best-kept secret neighborhood, the Broadview Tap House is a community gathering space with convenient access to the largest and freshest variety of craft beer. Regulars appreciate the good beers on tap and the decent food truck offerings. It's family and dog friendly, which is always a bonus for me so I can bring my huge pup. With lots of patio seating and friendly staff, it's a great place to unwind and enjoy a drink. The bar offers draft beers, ciders, and non-alcoholic choices, they even have root beer. They had remodeled the inside since the last time I was there, and it was great with lots of seating so if it's not a nice day enjoy the space inside. If you're looking for a relaxed spot to enjoy good beer and a family-friendly atmosphere, give the Broadview Tap House a try! read more

Love that this exists in the Broadview neighborhood. Got quite a selection of beers. And the food trucks that rotate are a huge plus! It's just hard to enjoy a nice "happy hour" when there are too many kids in the same establishment. Kind of ruins the experience. I'm sure I'm not the only one that thinks this. read more

Great beer selection and family-friendly space. Lots of outdoor and indoor seating, plus a little playroom for kids. This is going to be our new go-to! read more

Love the beer and the community. Lots of rotating taps. Great offerings from local breweries as well as craft beer from around the country. The bartenders are all genuinely passionate, kind, and fun. read more

I visited this brewery at the end of December while the Seahawks were playing their last regular season game. This is a family-friendly tap house (which was actually a small house) that welcomes kids and dogs. We do not have kids but we have a 5-lb toy poodle who loves kids more than anything else. The brewery itself is clean and even has a kids play area. My dogs really loved it there. The staffs were nice and welcoming, the beer tasted good, and overall we had a good time. However, it got REALLY loud after a while with 4 kids in the play area right next to us and parents who were becoming slightly less sober. The staff there told me this level of noise was not what they are used to having, but I'm skeptical based on other reviews which seems like other people also experienced the same issue. I will not be returning to this place because I didn't like having screaming kids around, especially in such a small establishment. I am giving it 3 stars because the staff was very, very pleasant and their beer tasted great. read more

Great neighborhood spot. Friendly people and great beer selection. The atmosphere is quiet and family oriented.

One star for Fridays. Too many little kids running wild while their parents drink beer. Not relaxing. Otherwise, I really like the Taphouse.

The service is good, and the employees and manager are friendly. It's dog friendly, so you get to pet some dogs while you're there is the owners of the dogs let you, and it's kid friendly, but the parents of the kids sometimes just let them run around and destroy things. Sometimes at events, there is free popcorn, like on the occasional summer movie nights, and holidays like Halloween. As a small business, they support other small businesses and food trucks to sell in the parking lot for free. There is lots of outdoor seating, and some inside too. On Fridays it's really busy, so I'm guessing the food truck is really popular. (Oscar's pizza) read more

I love, love, love this place! The owners got it right when they envisioned and created a local watering hole that would appeal to parents and have a more family-friendly vibe. Seattle and Washington have a wealth of great microbrews and Broadview regularly has a number of them to try. They switch out some to keep the variety going, but have a few that are tried and true and you can count on being available. I'm a dark beer lover, so I get excited at their offerings in ways of stout, brown, red, porters, and the like. One of my favorites they have are the red ales or Scotch ales that they have. The venue itself is cozy and neighborhood-like. Sure it's small inside and fills up quickly, but that's just a sign of their appeal and success. Most everyone that's there has always been friendly...and the employees are always happy to serve and knowledgeable. They also have an outdoor space that's lovely to use, complete with heat lamps to keep warm on the cooler nights. Hungry? They consistently have food trucks parked out in the lot for you to nosh on while washing it down with a tasty beverage. Check out their FB pages for the food schedule. They also have an outdoor movie series that is a nice to go to. Parents? Feel free to bring the kids along! They have a play space inside and the large table/picnic bench set up is perfect for making new friends and bringing the whole gang. I see some hate from other reviewers about the noise, the space, and the kids. This is one of the few bars/pubs/tap houses around that I've seen that is geared to parents and encouraging to bring the kids. Singles...couples w/out kids...you've got plenty of places to chose from. It's great to have Broadview in the neighborhood for when we want a place to hang out and knock back a cold one. Now we've got our place. Thanks Broadview! We'll always be a fan and customer! read more

One of these places that lets children run amok while their parents ignore them and get drunk. So screaming unsupervised children. Not relaxing or fun. Also they do the whole "I am going to hang on to your credit card." So ripe for credit card fraud. In today's modern age there's no good reason for that at all. Anyway, good beer. read more

Yikes, this place is intense.... I would barely consider it a tap house, more like a daycare full of bad drunk parents too lazy to watch their kids sober. If there aren't twelve toddlers screaming around you, rest assured you will also be bothered by the unleashed animals running around. Why this place caters to babies and dogs (who can't even drink!) is beyond me. I really really want to like this place but it's just so gross and unsanitary. If they kicked out the kids and the dogs this place might be worth going to, but until then, I can't in good conscience spend my money here. read more

Walking distance from my house. Decent selection of quality beer. Kid friendly. When I say kid friendly, you should know the people here don't just accept kids, they have kids and welcome them. I have a 2.5 y/o and it's refreshing to see smiles when we walk in with our son. So many places are not as welcoming. Awesome play area and great attitude from staff and patrons. Little small but I see the outdoor space in use when it's warmer. It's going to be a sweet summer & spring. Only visited once but will absolutely make this joint a habit. If you don't have/want kids and are looking for a nice, quiet place to stare into your partners eyes, this is not the joint for you. ;) read more

I'm sooooo excited about this place! I live two blocks away and have been lamenting the fact that we don't have an easily walkable cafe or bar in our immediate neighborhood. Well I'm happy to say that's no longer the case- Broadview Tap House is super cute and family friendly, and very near to us. They have 26 or so rotating taps in a cute indoor/outdoor setting, and they allow dogs which is perfect because we have two that love to join us! The tap house also has board games and visiting food trucks (see the chalkboard in their window for a food truck schedule). They sell some snacks like chips and sandwiches. The patio is perfect and chill on a summer evening. Sports-y people can watch their sports on the numerous TVs inside. A++! Please never leave us! read more

Sadly, they outgrew their building almost before they even opened. It's too small and too crowded, with too many screaming kids. The outdoor movie nights during the summer are great, and the food trucks are a nice add-on as well. But the whole experience is tainted by the too-small, too-noisy facility. read more

We went there tonight. Great beers on tap and very nice staff. But it's a total toddler show. If my kids were youngsters and I wanted some adult beverages with other parents with toddlers, this would be the place. I would have loved this place 20 years ago. They do have their market niche. 4 stars for the beer, service and niche. I be probably won't go back until I have grandkids, though. read more

This place has really turned a corner, maybe thanks to COVID?! Kids are still around, but don't seem nearly as rampant since the indoor playspace was eliminated (by restrictions, I assume). Maybe that just sets a different tone. We really like the new tented outdoor space and their food truck line-up is top notch. Varied and delicious. read more

Love the beer selection and the great food trucks. This is my favorite neighborhood spot :-)

Decent spot, but holy terrible children, Batman! There were so many kids running around unattended and antagonizing our dogs. Why are alcohol-only serving establishments so full of unruly children in this town? Keep your kids at your table, please. It ruins the atmosphere for the rest of us. And I hope you're not driving your dumb family home drunk. read more

Great Beer! Awesome staff, food trucks showing up are awesome! I grew up in Broadview and just moved back last year. This is great to have something in the area. The owner needs to step up and let his staff address parents that just let their kids run wild. I have left more than once when it gets too crazy. I feel like they need to decide if their going to be a pet beer place or a kids running wild beer place or a cool place for adults to drink up and eat. read more

This may be one of my new, favorite local Tap Houses. Super kid friendly, great list of local brews/ciders on tap, small selection of snacks for both adults & kiddos, & usually a food truck in the parking lot. Good indoor and outdoor seating, and a couple of TVs to catch the games. Small lot for parking, but ample street parking not too far away. We will definitely be coming back. Cheers! read more

Broadview Tap House & Bottle Shop - Kids area - Beer Bar Near Me - Seattle, Washington

OK, I hit it right.... there might be only 1 kid in the daycare. I did have to leave the front deck, as there was a dog day care going on, and why do I want to listen to dogs bark, when out having a nice evening? Inside, they had NPR, Sunday jazz going, so all good. It's all about the timing. Woh!.... holds the phone. I just checked out. What? They don't take $$$, plastic only. Come on you guys... smh. read more

Great that they have roughly 24 beers, a cider, and a root beer on draft! It looks like they rotate things out pretty frequently, so there is always something for everyone, whether you like dark beers, nitros, IPAs, sours, you name it! I went with a tasting flight because there were just too many good choices and wanted to try a bunch of different beers. My wife got one, too, so we ended up trying almost a third of the menu. We were both impressed with the blood orange sour and the lemongrass cider. The space is a bit cozy, and by that I mean crowded. They are really pushing to be a family friendly bar, which is great, there aren't enough of them. But when the place is full, there is just not much room and the sound in the space is very overwhelming. They seem to bring in a variety of food trucks, or you can bring in your own food. There was a sandwich place on the night I went and that was a little underwhelming, especially for the price, but that's a review on the food truck and not on Broadview. I'd definitely head back, especially if they keep the tap list rotating so we can try some other great, local beers! read more

What a great spot! 26 beers on tap! Big screen TV! The establishment appears to be completely remodeled. The beers that I tried were very good. The selection of beers was varied, and included some great IPAs. They have outdoor seating too, which I am anxious to try. If you are in the area looking for a good beer, this is a place that I highly recommend. You should be aware that they don't take cash however. read more

Awesome neighborhood joint with good selection of brews. The food trucks on the weekends have great food. There is a play area for kids, as well as snacks and beverages for little ones. Highly recommend. read more

Despite our aversion to family friendly breweries and tap houses we keep trying Broadview. I love the beers, the staff, the space (except for the playground). We tried again last week and ran into a BIG kid party (not big kids, but a large quantity of people there for a kid's party). At least there were no kids outside (because it's January and kinda cold)! I guess we have to think of this place as an outside Winter only place or growler only place. Broadview - maybe an adult only night once a week to help those of us out that aren't kid friendly? read more

While I think it's great to have a place that parents can go have a beer and let their kids play, that's not our scene. It was way too crowded and noisy when we went there. Also, many parents during our visit didn't seem to be aware or care what their kids were doing. We may try it again when outdoor seating is available. read more

Love this casual neighborhood joint. It is super dog and kid friendly. Great beer selection and daily food truck options. The other reviewers complaining about kids must not be looking for somewhere that welcomes families. We love to see our neighbors and have a beer. Great service too! read more

Decent food trucks but unless your idea of a great time is listening to bad over amplified 90s imitation bands (fortunately, only on occasional weekends) in a strip mall parking lot under a sketchy tent I'd stick to takeout only. read more

We are big fans of the Broadview Tap House and are happy to have them in the neighborhood. Great service, fab tap selection, and great food truck options. As parents it's great to have a kid-friendly spot to duck into for a quick bite or brew, and I have to say I've never observed "checked out" parents letting their kids run wild. (It's a good thing people who don't like kids mixed with their beer-drinking have so many other stellar places to go...) Keep up the good work Broadview! read more

Friendly! Dog friendly. They have an extensive collection of beer on tap, and a nice collection of beer in the refrigerators

What a wonderful neighborhood addition! Awesome beer selection - there's always something new and delicious to try. The space is great and is not weather dependent either, plus the staff are all super fi. Only wish there was a larger area for picnic tables in the summer time (and more food trucks). read more

I live just a few blocks from Broadview Taphouse and I was initially excited about the prospect of a walkable local pub. When this place first opened I went a few times (maybe 5) in the first month but gave up on it because the atmosphere was lacking. The biggest issue being the ratio of kids to adults. This week I decided to give it a try again (patio weather!) and I have to say that the kid situation is more intense than ever. It was mayhem there this past Fri. At one point there were 2 infants in bucket seats crying at the same time, and another toddler tantruming in front of the bar, being passed between his mother and father. This is not a big place - it was pretty intense. It felt more like a daycare than a bar. I have two young kids so I'm patient about kids crying, but it was a bit much even for me. The point here is not whether or not kids should be in a bar. The point is that if a daycare-bar hybrid is not your scene you should not go here. The kid vibe here overpowers everything else. Ive been here a few times and it's always kid-dominated. There's no balance here right now. I hope they figure it out because I want a fun place to go unwind, close to home. On the plus side, great beer selection, like the rotating food trucks, patio is nicely done, a couple big TVs and the staff are friendly. read more

A welcome family place with a great variety and low-key vibe. Giving this top scores for beer selection and service, and great food options, but lower on a key point expressed by others, with a note to management. Please do two things. A) Move the kids play table to the back (SE) corner, as there isn't really any need to have kids bashing play blocks in the front section, for those adults (also with kids) who then can't then hold a conversation. Simple fix. B) North Seattle parents also need pub training. Post a simple sign: "The tap house is a tap house that welcomes children. It is not a daycare that serves beer. Inside voices, and closely-kept children please." read more

Too many kids, too many dogs, and not enough places to sit. They really should ban cars from the parking lot and fill it with tables. Better yet, put the play area outside. When it's cold and rainy, I don't want to be outside. Maybe, one day, the dentist will retire and they can take over the whole building. Until then, I'll drink at home. read more

3.5 stars. Good selection of beer and a cider or two on tap. Modest sized lot- I could see the food truck taking up coveted spots tho. Small deck that seems nice for sunny days. Seems custom made for those with little ones, and the parents have apparently come flocking since it's open a week or two ago. Bartender not particularly enthusiastic, but if I had to serve beer with simultaneous earfuls of the delightful squeals of children, I'd probably feel the same. Overall a tidy spot with lots of tasty beer choices. Would give another star if I had kids. read more

Love love this place. We don't have kids, but we think this place is awesome for people who do because moms and dads need a casual neighborhood spot to unwind too. I really like the energy, and I don't mind the tropical bird sounds (children) :) read more
