After 15 years of friendship, I've discovered that my friends truly don't know me. I've visited Seattle several times a year for the past 4 years and they've lived walking distance from this amazing spot, and they've never once taken me. So much missed craft beer.. Anyway, I wandered into Chuck's around 7PM in the evening. Picked out a few beers. Then found out they do a random grab bag of four beers of a certain type for a discount. I love being surprised and you're basically offering me a beer lootbox? Sold. The guys at the register gave great suggestions to my friends that were there too. Stellar crew, great spot to hang, amazing selection. A shame I missed out in coming for a few years. read more

Super cool little bar! Dog friendly on the patio too so I'm extra into it. Didn't order food but the beer I had was great. There's like 50 on tap to choose from and more in the fridges or cocktails and NA options (beer and others) on the menu too. The bartender was super friendly and patient while I tried to pick something. Will def be back with my dog next time! read more

Chuck's Hop Shop - Raspberry blonde ale - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Delicious drinks with plentiful options. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Food options for everyone from vegan to gluten free to keto. Indoor and outdoor seating and great vibes all around. Side note, the beet reuben was SO GOOD. I don't even like beets and I would order this again and again. Also, get the popcorn. It's perfect. read more

I love this place. Funky, hip, weird. It's got munchies food, real food, and food trucks. You look around and each table has a completely different vibe ... date, large group of friends, small group of friend, solo. Oh and the dogs ... 50% of the tables had dogs. Have I gotten to the beers yet? Well there's beers on tap, beers in fridge, wine, N.A. drinks. What a place. They have it all. read more

We arrived in the area early for a restaurant reservation nearby and had enough time to stop into Chuck's Hop Shop for a beverage. This is quite the place. First: So. Many. Beers. The entire back wall is beer coolers. And it's a sizeable wall. You can purchase canned/bottled beers 'to go' or consume them on site, however, an employee must open them for you and there is a 'corkage fee' for said requirement. This is not a surprising expense to me and since I'm unfamiliar w/local laws, may be necessary. Back to the beer. Across the room from the beer coolers is a counter where you can order draft beers and food. There was a long line during our early evening visit - back to the coolers and around to the middle of the room. This gives plenty of time to check out the on-draft beer menu on electronic boards above the counter. They also have bagged snacks (chips), burgers, fries, sandwiches, salads and wings on offer. Two restrooms are right off the interior dining (drinking?) area. A smaller room is off to the side that was a bit quieter. The interior rooms are dark. An outside dining/drinking area runs along the street side of the building. This space was full during our visit. In front (on the side-street side of the building) is a small area with picnic tables and a food truck. A couple of families with small children were in this area. Besides beers, there is a cooler near the entrance with soft drinks (soda, iced tea, fruit drinks) and ice cream. Parking is on street. Prices are reasonable. The beer drinkers (IPA's) enjoyed their draft brews. Very laid back, large selection, no fuss, family friendly, good to meet up with friends, location. We'd return when in the area. read more

Chuck's hop shop is a local gem that works in all four seasons as the prime date destination, as the back up and as the location you want to go to have a nice quiet dinner/drink and some variety from the food trucks. They have something like 27,736 different beers, and 114 different ciders, and two kinds of water... yeah so if you can't find something to drink here then I don't think we can be friends. Now there's a standard rotation of about nine different food trucks each week where pets are welcome outside so we get a perfect long-term date/dinner or don't talk to me spot that even the hipsters have a hard time ruining because it's just classic Seattle. read more

Really solid hop shop, smells like one as soon as you walk in. The selection of beer is incredible since they have a whole back fridge of stuff if you ever get bored of what's on tap. You can bring your own food too! Do note that they charge a corkage fee for opening any of their canned beers on premise. read more

My colleague who also turned out to love beer gave me a couple of recommendations to me for beers since I let him know that I made sure I carved out some time to do some beer exploring. He brought Chuck's up and the closest one was this one. I walked in and I liked this place, a weird hodgepodge of bottle shop/beer bar/beer garden/food truck park and strangely, an ice cream shop. Before I sat down to have a beer I wanted to peruse their bottle selection for souvenirs to take home. Their beers were organized pretty easily and so I got up there with, probably more beers than I should have and you could tell that there were much beloved regulars. There was a lot of conversation and in any other situation I would have enjoyed it but not when my grip was going from awkwardly holding all bottles and cans I decided to take with me. Fortunately, I was able to set my goods down before something bad happened and I had time for one drink. The beertender had switched out but he was still friendly-and I let him know my situation and the time constraint I'm under. He recommended that I try the beer made just for the shop, a hazy and while I'm not picky about styles I will say that hazies are popular but can be executed poorly. Their beer here was not that and was a tasty last drink before I packed my to-gos up and headed to the airport. read more

I love Chuck's and keep coming back for many reasons, but the primary reason is the hope, the sincere fantasy, that after paying $35 for a burger, fries, and a beer, including the suggested 20 percent tip for counter service on top of the highest minimum wage in the country, that the person handing the burger to me might make eye contact and maybe, just maybe, smile. read more

Cool laidback atmosphere, I enjoyed the wide array of drinks and that there were hot dogs lol. Good vibes overall, no long waits and helpful staff read more

Lots of beers and laid back vibe- it's a nice place to gather as a group of any size, including one. They have indoor and outdoor seating, and kids seem to be allowed. You order at the counter, and grab a seat! Super simple. The only thing I can really add that others haven't is that they have ice cream! They have an ice cream case that you can get scoops from (I think $3 for a single scoop), and a refrigerator case with packaged ice creams. read more

Chucks Hop Shop. Land of 1000 beers. Well not all at the same time of course but they have 50 at a time here which is a lot and it's awesome. Options are never a bad thing, and such is the case here. I've had some equally awesome beers here like the Cavatica and Sub Harmonics Hazy and then it you're wondering "wow do I try something else potentially great or get another pour of that rad beer I just had?" choice is yours. What's that you want to keep trying different beers and just take home that rad beer? Why of course they have a take home cans and growlers! It isn't just one or two fridges here, there are like ten! All loaded with beer! How's the staff? Great! They're always real friendly and make good recommendations. In fact, the current #18 "Friends to the End" (a reference to one of my favorite horror movies) may be also now my favorite Stout ever. They don't serve food here, but they do have popcorn and candy which is better than nothing, and then of course there are food trucks there and can be found on their calendar. Chucks is probably the best taproom I've been to. With everything I mentioned above and a large and awesome outdoor seating arrangement as well as a few seats inside, if you're like me, and like beer. This is a taproom to absolutely be checked out. read more

The people working the checkout were shockingly rude and not welcoming at all to customers. Appalling. If I owned the place, I would let go of the staff that worked the afternoon of 12/23/2024. read more

This place is so unique & fun. If you can't find something to drink here, I would be surprised. Hundreds of options to choose from, I especially enjoyed the prickly pear cider on draft! Indoor & outdoor seating, gender neutral restrooms, street parking only. Dog friendly & you can bring food inside to enjoy. read more

Very nice outdoor seating (some heated) and indoor shop with a humongous variety of beer. Food truck parked on the sidewalk. Very cool, helpful staff :) Tried the Mango Cider (basically tasted like mango juice with a splash of beer, delicious), Semi-sweet Cider, Meyer Lemon Beer (VERY lemony), and Pineapple Sour (couldn't taste the pineapple). No flights but you can get half pints of all drinks! We paid about $20 for four half pints. read more

So many beers. So many non-alcoholic drinks too. Snacks of all kinds!!!! I feel like a kid in the candy door whenever I come here. I love that there's so much space in there at night time even on a Friday night. Parking can be difficult but if you can find it, it's worth it. Since I usually come here with a group of 10+, I love that we can always find space indoors even. There is outdoor seating and it's perfect for the summer nights. I give them extra kudos for putting on Ghibli films and other fun shows/movies on their TV! read more

Chuck's hop shop is always a good time. With an array of taps (options to get multiple size pours) to a vast selection of canned & bottle options, you can always find something you like here.

Suggest not supporting Chuck's due to their (1) pervasively bitchy attitude, and (2) their policies that don't make any sense. I do hope the owner understands the bad impression the Cap Hill staff continues to make on customers. I've long frequented the Ballard location on 85th St. Amazing beer selection. Nice people. Today I went to Cap Hill Chuck's for the third time - and I'm kicking myself for giving them another chance! During COVID times are tough on everyone, especially small businesses, and we all need to adapt. At 415pm on a Tuesday there was one customer here. One! With outside seating for 30 or 40 in a socially distanced manner. Because I didn't have a reservation, I was turned away. The particularly snarky hipster working the counter gave me a once over, and apparently didn't like my puffy vest. She said there was no seating available and reservations were required. I understand. When NOONE is here, and you have seating for another 30+ people, you don't turn away customers. This is the third instance of extreme hipster bitchiness. I will never visit either Chuck's again. Suggested everyone chooses to support businesses that don't treat their customers like sh*t. I always let the appearance of Chuck's slide...for the beer...of course. No longer! Please support small businesses - and those that treat customers with a touch of respect. read more

Chuck's Hop Shop - One person in a socially-distanced space for 40. You'd think they would have room for a party of one to join? - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Chuck's has come to be my favorite neighborhood joint for the 7 years that I have lived near the Central District, to the point that my husband and I affectionately refer to it as our "living room". An incredible list of 50+ local rotating taps, a bottle shop full of rare and interesting beers, snacks, dogs, food trucks, delightful beertenders - this spot has it all. Chuck's has adapted well to the Plague Times. They now require reservations for their two spacious outdoor seating areas (one heated!) so please plan accordingly. They understand the latest science behind transmission and they're taking it seriously. As somebody who enjoys being alive and plans to continue doing that, I appreciate it. There are some recent reviews left by salty anti-maskers. Ignore them. Everybody who works at Chuck's is a delightful sweetheart who is trying to do their job, keep people safe, and stay open. I have no sympathy for people who (literally, actually) spit in the faces of workers because they forgot to make reservations and then run to Yelp to type out crocodile tears about how they were mistreated. Thank you, employees of Chuck's, for protecting the rest of us. read more

What a great gem Chuck's Hop shop is and especially the way the are adjusting to these COVID-19 times. Lets start at the beginning of the experience and that means how do you get a table if you're looking to enjoy a beer at one of their tables. You need a reservation and the reservation process is pretty straightforward on their website. With Seattle enjoying some good weather, the fact that we got a un heated table was just fine. On a nice day I don't think you'll find a real difference between heated vs not heated. Upon arrival you are greeted by a host station to locate your previously scheduled reservation. Once you make it to the table, you can use the QR code to pull up the menu. And lets talk about that menu. WOW oh WOW is there a lot of beers. Beer lovers unite because there is a wide variety of beers and I personally couldn't find any "missus." Everything for me was a "hit". Chuck's is both dog friendly and kid friendly. We brought our 11 month old daughter and she did just fine. Once you're ready to order, there are walking paths to get to the register that are easy to follow and there's a dedicated retail line. Paying was touch-less. Chuck's enforces a mask policy when walking around the beer garden and to and from the tables. I saw steady cleaning/sanitizing in between guest. I definitely had no concerns on the covid front. There was a couple of food trucks in the area to get some food and bring it back to your table. Staff is friendly and I definitely would suggest making Chuck's one of your go-to beer stops. read more

Love it! The selection of beers looks like the arrivals board at the airport. You can bring your food, your kid, your dog, play a board game and have a Northwest microbrew. The staff is mellow and nice. The beer is gourmet and the atmosphere is truly down home. The truck outside served a great Peruvian Veggie Sandwich. Down sides: they should go to Goodwill and quadruple the small game collection and no TVs! I hate TVs. P.s. there is ice cream too... read more

Chuck's Hop Shop - Kid friendly beer garden - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I'm seriously obsessed with this little gem of a beer shop and brewery -- they have a huge selection of beers and ciders as well as a casual, outdoor patio space which is lovely. I stopped by with friends and was able to find an outdoor table to play board games on -- such a fun evening activity and the vibes were great to hang out! I've enjoyed pretty much every beer I've gotten here and they're great about making recommendations based on your interests. Bonus points for the adorable Polaroid dog wall they have inside, as well as the variety of food trucks, too -- I'll definitely be back again soon, especially to try those slushies! read more

I'll start by thanking whomever is responsible for the west coast cuts consistently being played here. I have a theory that all the staff at Chuck's know wsup because the last 4 times I've been here, at different times of the night I immediately transported into the LBC. My bones feel that playlist. Thank you or all yous or some yous! But you're not here for a music review. This place is casual. Large selection of beers - something for everyone. Decent sized patio, with a portion that is covered. Chill, smart staff. The food situation is easily navigable. There is usually a food truck parked outside. If that's closed, they sell some gas station snacks. My favorite thing to do is walk East a block over to Taco Chukis for their house Taco (x4) which is hands-down the best house taco in all of Seattle. On the way there you might pass a small Taco truck called Fondas, don't waste your time. Walk the extra block. Thank me later. There is also a teriyaki joint on the corner in the convenience store that slaps if you're not in the mood for tacos. I fw Chuck's for a few main reasons: Close to good food The juciest IPAs are always on Huge selection of beers - all leave happy Neighborhood vibes A feel-good playlist that is reliable Sometimes there is ice cream Kiddos allowed Oh and if you're into pints & pups, there are just as many humans here as there are dogs. read more

Chuck's Hop Shop - Modern Times MT6! IPA - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Seattle, Washington

A low-key, casual, friendly, and laid-back bottle shop and bar. Chill bartenders who are helpful without needing to be prompted. Dope hip hop tunes in the pleasurable form of Jhene Aiko. Densely populated tap list and they even color code for IPA's, sours, and stouts -- the popular ones. Fresh beer that tastes crisp; must be the clean lines. We enjoyed our time here basking in the quiet and solitude of the mid-afternoon lull. Strangely enough, they also serve ice cream (the local kind). Plenty of snacks scattered about. Some TV's situated here and there too. Seems like the perfect watering hole for a weekday or weekend chill out. Dog friendly! I loved the added touch of the dog Polaroid wall. Endearing enough and makes for the perfect backdrop. read more

Great selection of all kinds of things! Weird customer service. Love that they allow dogs and have a fun vibe and food trucks. If it's busy, and the beertenders' friends are there- forget about any kind of service. Sort of a BRO vibe. Walked up to get a beer and nearly 3/4 employees ignored me and walked away. Why do you have so many people that don't even smile or engage or say hey? Maybe they had an off night. I really like this place but felt like a dude den TBH. read more

This place checks all the boxes--unique venue to take the out of town visitors, baby friendly, dogs welcomed (honored by having their picture on the wall), minors allowed, lots and lots of beer, cider and non alcoholic beverages, casual atmosphere, outdoor seating and food truck. I love that you can pick your own flight before buying a pint or half pint. The beer tender will also create a flight for you if you tell him what sort of beer you like. A different food truck is out in the parking lot each night. This makes for a rotating menu with lots of variety. So much so, You can come to Chuck's several times a week. So glad we made this one of our stops on our short stay in Seattle. Go where the locals drink and you won't be disappointed or overcharged. read more

There are bottle shops, and then there's Chuck's. Whether you like a light pilsner, a hoppy IPA, or a dark rich barrel-aged phenomenon you WILL find it at Chuck's - both on tap and in the bottle. It may be domestic, it may be imported, it may be cheap, it may be expensive, it really really REALLY depends 100% on what you're looking for but...trust me...whatever it is you WILL find it at Chuck's. And while you're on the hunt, you will have a cold, frothy glass of beery yumminess in your clutches. Not sure what you want? They will help you figure it out - yes, their huge menu can be a little overwhelming. But never fear, they are there to nurse you through the labor process! And if you get there early enough they usually have a food truck in the parking lot to fill up your tummy-tum too. Chuck's does beer right! read more

Chucks is such a great find for parents, neighborhoods, singles, people who like fun, people who like to eat, dog owners... They carry tons of bottles, fill growlers, have lots of cool options for cider and/OR beer flights, a couple quick in-house bites, and ice cream. The selection is rotating and a girl like me who isn't well versed in beer can find something among the pretty decent cider selection. The staff seems quick and knowledgeable. Summer hours are extended for Fri and Sat-- I think til 1? The outdoor patio is great and every table has an umbrella for shade. There is usually a food truck in the lot and they allow outside food from ANYWHERE, so go nuts! read more

My son and I stopped in for a snack and a lager at opening. The tent outside had maybe 18 tables. One table had two people sitting. The rest were empty. Half way into said snack and lager we were asked if we had a reservation and then told we had to leave the tent due to a lack thereof. Given the fact that we were basically the only customers, it seemed really antagonistic. I think it was coming from a place of meanness but maybe a lack of an ability to differentiate doing things the right way vs. doing the right thing. We must needed five more minutes. It was absurd. Beer selection is good and snacks are nostalgic. read more

I love the large outdoor seating area, they have a huge selection of beer to choose from, and are pet friendly! I also love that they have regular rotating food trucks (makes it easy for me to try new food living nearby too). No doubt I'm going to make this a regular spot! My one hope is they expand the heated section, or get heaters for the larger patio area. read more

I have been here several times and find that Chuck's always has a great variety of beers. They have a lot to buy in cans and bottles if you're looking to bring stuff home. I typically order beers on tap, since I prefer beer that way. Chuck's is typically pretty busy at night time, but they do have a lot of tables inside and an outdoor space for when it's not raining. Chuck's is also dog-friendly and family friendly because I've seen many dogs there and children, which is nice. The only thing I wish is that Chuck's was located elsewhere because for me, it's not the most convenient of places to wander to. read more

However​,​ if you like beer and snacks like chips this is the place to go. No table service just grab what you want and go. read more

Let me start by saying that I am an East-Coaster, specifically in Boston, where the liquor laws are very puritanical and tightly regulated. I have never been to a place quite like Chuck's Hop Shop before! This place is HUGE, and I love that they have so many beers and ciders on tap - and that they have a crazy variety of alcohol in store. While we were there, we saw a great demographic of people - from families to young peeps out and relaxing, and it's a testament to the staff that they place is well-run, inviting, and calming. read more

Go here for beer. This place has more beers than I can shake a fist at. So many good local crafts and also beers from all over. 50+ taps behind the counter. Hundreds (minimum) of cans and bottles. I think they were literal when they say 1000 beers. They also have Ice cream and lots of tables/board games to hang out and play. They were also playing old EDM all night like the mortal Kombat theme song (blast from the 90s). Already starting to wish I lived in Seattle. We ended up buying 30 tall cans for our 5 day road trip, I hope it will be enough! read more
