Nut allergy friendly: I didn't eat here, but most food looked safe. For beers, of course check in case you're accidentally ordering a peanut butter stout or something like that. Parking: They had a small packed lot, no issues with street parking on the same street or a perpendicular one. This place is awesome. Two floors and a really affordable kitchen with an awesome 50 beer tap list plus the fridge downstairs with a huge selection of singles. They do 8oz pours at reasonable half prices ($4-5) so it's fantastic for tasting different things. I tried a stout and two IPAa for around $20 with tip. They do Geeks who Drink trivia with a max team size of six on Wednesday nights at 7PM. read more

Been here three times so far, but tonight was for the Drag Queen Bingo with some friends. I prefer Bingo to Trivia because in Bingo they practically give you the answers. Bingo donations went to a good cause, the crowd was there to have fun, and the host's vibes were immaculate. This Chucks Hop Shop location has a great menu but I'm a sucker for a simple cheeseburger so I got that - that said the secret sauce is fries with the curry aioli. That plus a beer (or two or three) is all you need. The service at the tap was super friendly and when I asked about ciders they gave me three different samples from what they had on tap to find my fav. I still need to try that kimchi grilled cheese but maybe that'll wait till the next bingo night. read more

Popped in for a beer last weekend when the weather was nice. Ample indoor and outdoor seating, big beer selection, friendly service and the food smells really freaking good. You can sample beer before you select. I'm giving 3 stars because the bathrooms were a little rough...mostly really smelly which was surprising since everything else was so clean. read more

What a FUN place!!!! I could easily spend a whole day here! Biggest and most expansive beer selection I've seen in awhile! As well as ciders, wines, and non-alcoholic beverages. And not to mention all the food and snacks that are available to purchase. They also have ice cream and pastries...they seriously have it all!!! Plenty of seating, both kid and pet friendly! They have games and pinball machines in the back. It's right next to Third place books. Just overall very chill and fun vibes. What more can you ask for! read more

Updated review to give a shoutout to their Monday night Wings special. If you like a good, crispy wing the special is a winner. This neighborhood spot can get very busy. read more

Came here for a group meet up so can't say much about food options. I will give them kudos for creating a fun meeting place for neighbors and friends. They have a ton of seating, outside patio, upstairs and downstairs with games and pinball. Full fridges of beer and other beverages and food options to try the next time. read more

TLDR: If you like that REI brewery kid friendly vibe, this place is for you. If that sounds not like your cup of tea - you can skip this place. Food: Burger: Went here craving one, and left craving one. Its incredibly standard and more than likely just ment to keep you drinking - C+ Tots: Again, incredibly standard C+ Drinks: As a person who isnt into beer, there were a good amount of wine and cider options. (I know, I know... look, I wanted to see if this place had a good burger.) Vibe: If you've ever been to Bend Oregon this place feels like every brewery there. Lots of families, the elderly reading books, people planning their next hike, kids running around unattended (randomly screaming). Also drag playing on the television (super random). What can be better: Outside of the beer selections, this place is fairly pedestrian, but I feel thats what there going for here. read more

Traveled to Seattle. Ugh! I just love this place - I wish I could move into this neighborhood. They have three different locations, and this one even has a bookstore attached. Books, coffee, food, beer, good vibes, and good people = my happy place! Everyone talks about their beer selection, so I'm going to rave about their café drinks and breakfast items instead. They use freshly roasted Broadcast coffee beans delivered right to the café. And their scratch-made tomato soup hit the spot on this gray Seattle day! All-day house made breakfast sandwiches: have not tried these but they sound so good with great price! read more

I liked their chicken tenders. The honey mustard sauce wasn't overwhelmingly sweet. I personally don't like things too sweet. The song identification game was fun. Great place for a quick bite. Waiting in line didn't take long. read more

I live close to this place and the book store so really love supporting the community here! We've came here as a group for breakfast post running/ walking at Seward Park and have really enjoyed their coffee and breakfast offerings. The staff are really friendly and helpful! And the space is very welcoming! I truly recommend this place if you are ever near the Seward Park/ Columbia City area! read more

Great spot! Lots of local drafts. Friendly beertenders. Attached bookstore. Hang out spots downstairs. Lots of canned pints downstairs too. They hosted a trivia while we were there which was fun. Parking limited but seems to be plenty of street parking if you don't mind getting some steps in. Food was fantastic as well which complimented the beer. Korean Spicy Wings (5): Legit korean fried chicken flavors! I would've liked it a little spicier but they were still good. Crispy. Good Flavor. Moist wings. Decent size. Double Bacon Smashburger (5): The smashburgers here are legit! They really smash the patties which crisp up the edges nicely. Because its a legit smash, you gotta get a double. You can add a patty to any burger. You can even get an impossible patty as well! The bacon on this thing was thick cut and crispy. Everything was great. Overall great spot to hang out, grab a beer, decent grub. we'll be back! read more

pros: - food is always delicious! personal favorites are the tater tots, the classic burger & the cucumber salad - they rotate their drafts often and there's always something new and fun to try - their cooler stock is just as good as the rotating drafts and i love being able to grab stuff to take home - i was a longtime fan of working here or reading / doing a crossword with a bev and some food (see note below though) - obviously love the bookstore location, lots of seating, love the covered patio cons: - steep on price for what things are, you're not getting out of there for less than $30 if you want a drink, the food is good but the prices are not great. - if you're there 4:30ish-9pm on a weekday or most times of day on the weekend you are going to be surrounded by the most obnoxious screaming children, they will be running around, they will be incredibly loud, they will have no spacial awareness, and their parents won't do anything about it. I used to have a weeknight ritual of coming by after work and have stopped because of how insane it's gotten. (This is coming from someone who worked in childcare for years, I like most kids!) This spot for some reason just attracts parents who are uninterested in keeping their kids behaved. This is my petition for the staff to feel more empowered to kick people out if they're not, for example, willing to keep their screaming 4 year old out of the beer cooler. read more

I have been here many many years ago and boy, this place became something else since! My buddy and I came here to try the Veil, Other Half, and Monkish Collab beer (which was amazing - the name of the beer was Hey Hey Echo Echo) and we really enjoyed the outdoor seating and the atmosphere. Service is great here. They got like 50+ taps and probably over 1000 beer bottles to go. Dog friendly. They always have a food truck if you get hungry. Highly recommended for all craft beer lovers. read more

Huge selection of beers, which was great. Unfortunately, I also made the mistake of ordering one of their reuben sandwiches. I asked if it was grilled and was told it wasn't grilled, but air-fried. Good enough. Except it came on bread that wasn't in any way grilled, fried, or toasted and the sandwich fell apart immediately. The bread was soft and soggy and the sauerkraut in the middle was cold. Recommend for the beer selection, but avoid the food. read more

In the secluded Seward Park, this CHS location is most unique on its own ~ BEER & BOOKS! Shared building space with Third Place Books, it is a destination for beer or book geeks. 50 taps, rotating food trucks everyday, ginormous selection of wine & beer, pup & family friendly. The intention is to come here to sip and read; end up playing too much pinball lol. A must stop after hiking around Seward. read more

A bookstore-brewery combo which I absolutely loved -- I stopped in to browse at Third Place Books and ended up spending the evening at the brewery. I've been to a Chuck's before but LOVED this location! They have such a great variety to browse and choose from and the bartenders are very sweet and helpful. I'm appreciative of their color-coded list, which helped me find some ciders and IPAs that I really loved. They have tons of seating upstairs and downstairs and their beer shop (apart from being so much fun to look at) had tons of fun picks -- a personal favorite is the Old Man Yelling IPA from Cloudburst brewing! I hope to be back to the Seward Park location soon! read more

This placed used to be fun, friendly, and filled with good energy. None of the aforementioned quality remains at Chuck's any longer. We've recently visited with a group after our soccer practice and was very disappointed with the service here. Not sure what the issue was. Maybe we just didn't look like the type of guests he preferred. read more

Go to Chuck's regularly because it is the only thing around, a bit overpriced. Now, it seems that they have forgotten how to make burgers and fries, both undercooked. How much time do they spend on each order??? 0.5 mins? Never going back, even though from the neighborhood. Get your act together, how hard is it?? read more

The service is amazing, it's great to have beer, coffee, ice cream, and a bookstore all in one and the selection of fears unbeatable . terrible food. Great selection of beer. the food can be horrendous. I been coming here for a while and thought I was savvy when is comes to what to order and still I get hit with a curve ball now n again. The $10 breakfast burrito is terrible, it's like one of those frozen burritos. The wings are good and the monster fries are mid but give you the most bang for your buck. the burger is Dick's size but not Dick's price. read more

Chuck's Hop Shop - $10 frozen burrito... I'm upset. - Beer Bar Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Fun place. Good beer and food. Nice people. Love the bookstore and the activities. Easy to get in.

This shop is awesome. 50 taps, enormous cold storage of all the beer styles, cider, kombucha, etc. Literally everyone should be able to find something that interests their taste buds. Everyone working was very welcoming and knowledgeable. Cool set up in that there were on-site food options, a book store, as well as the drink options. Video games downstairs can keep you entertained for hours. Really enjoyed myself and will be back read more

I love this place. It's one of my favorite spots. Beer is great. Cool vibe. People that work there are nice. Epic selection of snacks. Very kid friendly which is nice. Seems very pet friendly also. Food is fine (and I eat their food often) but not the reason you come here. Sometimes they have a rotation of food trucks which is a nice touch. It has a bookstore next door (see my other review of the bookstore). Sometimes we order coffee and pastries and they're great also. Their espresso is a little on the lighter side but very good. Pastries are always exceptional. No complaints. Love this place. read more

Love my neighborhood Chucks! Walking distance and the people working there are great. We come probably once a week. We love the rotating food truck, spacious seating (indoor - even got a downstairs and outdoor), various snack/drink options. Found a new favorite chip flavor! Also to top it off, love that they also serve ice cream from full tilt. Flavors are also rotating and how can you beat a $2 scoop these days? They also can do 4 ounce pours, which we like to do and get a cider flight that way. Last but not least, dog friendly! Even inside. Our dog Tobi loves it here. They even feature Polaroids of dogs on their wall inside. read more

My only issue is it always smells like mop and bucket - I love everything else about this neighborhood gem. They need to turn down the pine sol and dial up another cleaning product - PLEASE!!!!! read more

Super chill and attached to a bookstore! You can go downstairs and play pinball while you browse their endless selection of beer, cider and wine. The food was also great, my friend and I got their burger and tots and it was pretty tasty! The staff are very nice and helpful and will be back again! read more

This place is raking it in as a dual daycare/taproom. Seriously, what a concept! It seems to be a haven for weary parents who finally have a place to let their kids run around unattended, the little tykes free to whine and shriek and bite ankles whenever they need to. I mean, why hire a babysitter when you can crowd this space in the after-school hours to get a buzz on in the presence of your precious angels. Seriously, there are more children here than there are adults; it's so heartening to be in a place where the little tykes rule the roost! The open concept allows the noise to permeate the entire shared space including the corners of the neighboring bookstore. Okay, jokes aside, the place is amazing with so many taps and bottles to-go to choose from but OMG the parents need to rein in their spawn. read more

Very cool spot that I found when I stopped in to Third Place books. Located near Seward Park there is a hidden gem where you can choose from a HUGE selection of beers as you enjoy your reading materials. They had an expansive menu for beers on tap and a downstairs area with fridges full of different drinks. You can buy some to go if you're not planning to hang out. There was a lot of seating available there in the upstairs and downstairs. I appreciate that there's a parking lot just outside the shop. Cool spot! read more

This place was already near perfect, but now CHUCK'S BURGER PRESS is the best simple cheeseburger in all of South Seattle. Check ahead for hours since they're not always serving and you might just have to get a food truck meal, which is usually fantastic. read more

I love the Chucks hop shop in greenwood so I thought I would try this one too while I was in the neighborhood. This location is interesting in that it shares a space with Third Place Books. This branch of trucks also has a huge amount of taps; I think probably 40 to 50. They have several bottle cases as well as a walk-in fridge that you can go into to see six packs and some other beers, but they do seem to have a smaller overall bottle / can collection than the branch in Greenwood. So, if you're looking for rare packs to take home, you might be better served by a different location, but if you just want some great craft beer on top then you'll be well served here. read more

This was one of our favorite places to stop by on a weekly bases. They use to have a different food truck on site each evening. I would wonder through the bookstore that is attached and often buy a new read. They did away with the trucks and now have an in house smash burger. Eh. It's okay, nothing amazing. And when the juicy and delicious Bent burger restaurant are across the street it's an easy decision to go to Bent instead. Chucks does have a nice outdoor area perfect for the spring and summer with your pets and kids. We also use to come in the fall and winter and sit inside with our small dog. However dogs are no longer allowed inside. So sadly, between the trucks being gone and the Seattle rain and cold weather coming back we likely won't be visiting chucks anymore. read more

Great prices, nice staff, gluten free utopia, gay friendly. Might be my go to burger place for the summer!!!

Service was horrible. Person taking our order seemed like he doesn't want to be at work and rude. Cold brew is trash, sour and bland. Sour coffee comes from shops saving money and using lighter coffees. My fries were stale. I had the special burger and there wasn't anything special about it besides it being an over priced and $8 (3oz) burger. I haven't tried any of the beers on tap yet so will update review later. read more

This is a terrific find. It's a tap house, with 48 beers on tap and a video menu. It's a tavern with great tavern food including smash burgers. They serve ice cream. Espresso. And there's an advanced level beer bottle store downstairs WITH A WALK IN COOLER! Kids are allowed. And there's a bookstore. It has a chill vibe, nice staff, excellent beer, really good tavern food, just a huge all around win. Nice outdoor seating area and its own parking lot. Ordering is cafeteria style. This is my new neighborhood hangout. It's the same "Chucks" that operates in Greenwood and the CD. Recommend very highly. read more

Stopped by on sunny Sunday afternoon and this place was packed! They have tons of seating inside, downstairs, and outside. Downstairs they have packs for purchase (didn't see fridges like the one in the CD). What's nice about this location is you can get food (was a 30-45 min wait), coffee/cafe items and beer/seltzer. Will be back but would get here earlier for a table! Also-bathroom is gender neutral single stall which I appreciate! read more

Here to review as a regular at Chuck's. I go to chucks 3-5x a week to work and I rarely drink (I'm there in the AM primarily). They are a hop shop so they have a robust selection of tall boys and beer on tap. They also have coffee, soft drinks (ask them to add a flavor if you want to make it a little more fun), kombucha, you can even get an affogato. While Third Place is an awesome book store, I love the combo of the two together. The staff at both places are awesome and are another reason I keep returning. Thanks y'all for curating such a unique environment to get buzzed, get shit done, or both if you decide. read more

Food came out fast but burgers and tots were both cold and dried out like they'd been precooked a while ago.

Happy to see Chuck's Hop Shop in the old spot that was formerly Raconteur. Plenty of seating inside and outside and good beers on tap. Gets pretty busy on weekends. read more

Great selection of beer, and clean, well lit space. They close the taps at 9:30. I tried to fill a growler at 9:45, but the taps were closed even though they close at 10 technically (lame). Also, the book store is awesome! read more
