    We stopped in for a beer recently and it was ok. My friends had their teenage boys with us that weren't allowed in the building. We almost decided to not grab a beer because of it, but decided to give it a try. The boys were able to hang out on their phones in the shade around the surrounding area. I ordered a "Quote Unquote." The beer was just ok. I prefer beer a little colder than what was served, but that could be the norm for the area? We had a better experience/better beer at some other places in town that allowed us to hang out with our kids as well.

    Bought a few beers from this local brewery. Cloudburst has a couple locations, including this one in Belltown close to Pike Place Market. It may be a small one, so it has limited indoor seating. A bit limited in the draft list, but still manages to have quite a few. They also are heated inside so you can stay warm. As small of a brewery as one can be. It's only got a few seats and tables inside. There wasn't much room when we got here, but luckily still could get a table. As expected, it's also limited to what's on the menu. It's about $7 a pint. Best of the ones we got was the Cosmic Lust. This is an IPA with Amarillo, Chinook, Citra, and Galaxy hops, and it's kind of strong. For sure it's a good place to get local beers and hang out even though it gets cramped. It's got this location as well as one in the Ballard neighborhood. This is closed Mondays and Tuesdays.

    Good Beer. Vibe was mellow, Great service. The beers are all unfiltered so gives a hazy vibe.

    Friendly staff, good beer. They don't do samples but will describe the taste of the beer in detail and find you something you will like based on your preferences. They also do half pours so you can try more than a few. The space is cozy and you can tell it is a working brewery and it is dog friendly. There is a self service tap for water that is labeled bud light.

    Cloudburst Brewing was the first of many breweries that we visited while in Seattle. You can find them just down the street from Pike Place Market. We walked in and they had about 13 beers available on tap (one was sold out). I had the Endless Summer Nights English Summer Ale and my dad had the No Mistakes German Style Schwarzbier. Seating is a bit limited and they do not have any outdoor seating. It was moderately busy for a Sunday afternoon but we were still able to find a seat inside. I enjoyed my beer well. It had the perfect taste to it when it comes to having a light tasting beer. My dad had other feelings for his beer, saying that it was ok, but not the best around. He described it as way too sweet and chocolatey and couldn't finish the whole thing. This place is fairly small. Think of it like a garage with several tables and barrels inside. Outside there is a water dish for people who bring their dogs here, which is smart for those hot days. They're closed on Monday's and Tuesday's and we're here until Wednesday, with Sunday being the only day we could visit them.

    This is exactly what small craft brewing should be in a city neighborhood. Small in size but very chill vibe. I had a New Zealand Pils and it was very good. You can tell it's a local watering hole. Barkeep was very helpful in selection advice. If you're down by the market and want to take some time to relax with a good beer this is the place.

    The service was really good! It was a bit toasty with the recent weather but a cool and spunky vibe for seating. We both liked our beers and would definitely recommend it and come back.

    Tucked away behind the hustle and bustle of downtown Ballard is Cloudburst Brewing. A pretty good sized space with outdoor seating, indoor seating, bar seating, and a food truck on-site. They were kid friendly as well as dog friendly, and had a pretty good selection of beers on tap and to go. IPA heavy, but hey, it's the PNW. The German Pilsner and Schwarzbier were the standout favorites for the group though (if available, go for it!).

    Hazy ipa
    Alex C.

    Small taproom so finding seating can be tough. Beer was okay, didn't find anything that wet my palette enough. Really wish they did flights. Their hazy ipa isn't bad, though.

The oysters were the main draw for me, and they were totally worth the visit. Old Stove serves them with a savory watermelon sauce in addition to a traditional cocktail sauce--eaten together, it's a flavor explosion that I can't quite describe. We also enjoyed the garlic everything fries, which were delicious! We just had to try a flight to sample the brews. There are some really good beers available here, especially the Belgian blonde, citra pale ale, and the stout. I did not really care for the seasonal sour (grapefruit, I think)--to me, it just tasted like a sour and nothing more, but someone with more interest in sour beers would probably enjoy it just fine. Despite the busy night, our server checked on us regularly and was very personable, stopping to chat with us about the local sports scene. There's plenty to look at, inside and out. If you can snag a seat outside, you'll get to enjoy the waterfront. Inside, the decor is industrial but fun. Not sure if this runs all the time, but when we were there, the tvs were playing vintage beer ads, which was quite fun. They also sell some pretty good t-shirt designs. Overall, Old Stove Brewing is the perfect combo of good location, good food, and good beer. Definitely recommend a visit when in the Pike Place area!

A little too buttery though. The venue was large and delivered the view of the lake on a platter (but that is Seattle). The vibe was lively -- loud blasting music and a ton of people. But...not worth the excessive 45 minute wait after being in line for 15 min. We ordered right after our friends and while I sampled 2 tastes of beer, that took all of 2 min Our almost identical order to theirs came out 20-30 min after theirs. We went up 3 times to check where it was, because the first time (at least 20 min after our friends got their order) the guy told us it was 2 tickets away. More like 20 tickets since we watched order after order being delivered elsewhere... not ours. My husband went up for the second time and never got an answer. And so I went up a third time and was livid as another half dozen+++ orders went by. The frustrating thing is we paid up front and left a 20% tip on the worst food service ever. We have learned our lesson and won't do that again. Recognize it's not just the server it's the entire service...from what happened to our ticket, our food prep and delivery to our table? I doubt I'll make the effort to go back. Because I can pay the same $59 (2 single patty burgers, 2 beers, 1 fries, 1 onion rings) for similar or better food, fantastic views with much better service. Also, they knew but did nothing to make our experience better.
