Affordable and quality drinks/community! Came here for trivia on Mondays so there was a lot of people but no AC unfortunately (we were sweating). Loved the refreshing OMG slushie and sweet kiwi cider. Kind staff!

Seattle Dog

This is going to sound weird, but every once in a while I have a craving for a "fancy" hot dog. Specifically, a good dog with fun or unique toppings. On a recent afternoon in Seattle, I found Halcyon thanks to Yelp! and yes, it scratched that itch. We arrived around noon on a sunny Sunday and the bar area, which is very pretty, was mostly empty. But as we ate, a few dog parents (now we're talking about canine dogs, not the hot dogs I mentioned earlier) came through to sit outside with their pups. I had a Kim Chi Dog, which came with (you guessed it!) kim chi, as well as cream cheese, a house mayo, and green onions. My husband had the Seattle dog (hold the jalapenos, because he's spice-sensitive.) We split the furikake fries. Everything was delicious and hit the spot. It is a brewing company, so I felt compelled to try a beer. I got one of their dark beers (Midnight Coterie) and, while I only had a few sips before feeling full (funny how a dark beer will do that to you) it was the perfect companion to a bar lunch. This was a perfect spot for an afternoon beer and a dog. I hope to be back some day!

In short: A big, bright, clean space with a kitchen full of izakaya-ish pub grub and a solid, full lineup of beers. In long: Back when I still drank beer, I was in this space for the first-night grand-opening bash thrown by the previous tenant. They spent 10+ years here making decent beer and countless happy memories, along with all kinds of interesting special events. Halcyon is here with essentially the same layout, stripped down a bit and repainted. Big dining room, bar lengthwise down the middle, with another dining room past that and the cool beer garden is still in place out to the left. The place used to look a lot fancier--dark wood, velvet curtains, brass railings. Old school. What's here now has kind of a freshened-up-industrial-space look, but that's weird only if you spent many a time in the old space. It feels nice now, too, in its own way. They have big shiny brass brewing equipment visible in the back of the dining room; the brewhouse used to be fully behind closed doors. We came in for lunch on a Friday, and after sitting for a minute or two were bluntly informed to order at the bar. Kid seemed nice enough in the end, and no doubt he's a competent bartender, but he certainly was not delighted to be at work on a sunny Friday afternoon. They have about 15 beers pouring, at least today. All kinds of stuff--the usual hoppy suspects, plus a saison, sours, an alt, maybe a couple other old-school european styles. I really dig that kind of diverse lineup, rather than 12 IPAs and another thing or two for variety. You can get flights of 4 4-oz tasters. They have quart crowlers to go in the cooler. We got veggie dumplings, pork dumplings, popcorn chicken, and one of the fancy hot dogs. Virtually everything has a Japanese touch to it--furikake, bonito, the chicken seemed like karaage. One hot dog is called the "umami bomb." Both kinds of dumpling were great, the hot dog was solid, and the chicken was gone before any of the rest of us could ask for a bite. Good food! Reasonably priced, too. You order, you get a little beeper/buzzer, and walk up to grab your tray. Food comes out pretty quickly. You can definitely order a whole meat worth of food at once, but I bet plenty of people order a little, get another beer, order a little more, and so on. Two paths to satiation. I have to say the mural in the beer garden is now much prettier than the old Henry walruses. I miss the historic connection to the Walrus Tavern, but we have plenty of Henry stuff in this town, and new ones go up quickly. This might be an unpopular opinion, but I find the new mural to be a perfectly fine addition to Greenwood Avenue. I dug this spot.

Stopped by this amazing brewery in Greenwood on a busy Friday. Thankfully we had a reservation for our large group that evening. They have a solid beer collection and not to mention their food is top notch too. I tried their huckster, urban hike beers and for food had the pork dumplings (absolutely amazing though a tad spicy just the way I love it) and their Ode to Banh Mi hot dogs (tasty). All of us enjoyed our beers as well some were ipa fans and some were lager fans but everyone was happy with their selection. They have a huge indoor seating area with a projector too and have a few spots outside. Parking can be a pain but there is a paid lot in the back side of this brewery so thats convenient. All in all this place has great beers, great dumplings, good hot dogs & great service! Highly recommend if in the area.

Came here to enjoy the sunny day. They have a large outdoor space with several tables and we were able to sit outside with our dog. My husband said he enjoyed their beer. I came for the food. Their hot dogs are some of the best hot dogs I've had. We ordered the Seattle dog, which if you're not aware, it's a hot dog with cream cheese, jalapeños, and onions. We also ordered the Japanese umami bomb that came with a chili crunch and green onions that was very good. I'd definitely come back here and highly recommend this place.

Barley Wine and Ube Sweet Potato Radler

Moody vibe checks are on point in this dimly lit brewery that could easily serve as an art gallery space as much as an intimate setting for drinks and conversation with friends. The food was great and the Barley Wine smashed. The brewers here aren't afraid of new flavors or brewing techniques. Kudos Halcyon. May Halcyon days be here to stay!

BBIS imperial stout
Brian F.

I came here on their opening night with a bunch of friends looking to support a new local business. They're still in the beginning of their design of the interior but there is also an outdoor patio with a decent amount of tables. There are also a couple of areas inside as well as a large projector playing sports. My first drink was the BBIS imperial stout which was $8 for a 7oz drink. It was a stronger beer at 14% but was still slightly sweet. My second drink was the robust porter which was lighter than the stout but still had a slight hoppy after taste and a good amount of coffee flavor. My last drink was the red cap whitewood cider which was slightly dry but a very light and refreshing way to end the night. What I really liked about this place is that it was not super loud inside with blaring music so you can actually do what people come here for: having great conversations with friends. I didn't have any of the food but they are mostly Asian fusion hot dogs with ingredients like kimchi and kewpie mayo. This is another one of the great breweries in the area that you will always have a good time at.

The Bullet Train pale ale is everything a pale ale enthusiast could ever ask for and more. Also surprisingly fire flames spicy dumplings.

Came in on a Friday night and learned that Old Stove Brewing gets busy for a reason! All the…read moreoutdoor tables were full when we arrived at 6, so we put our name on the list for inside and waited about 30 minutes. 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!

Smattering variety of beer (1-2 offerings per "kind" of beer, non-alc included), so I'd say this place is more for vibes and location, rather beer-focused. That being said, the vibes were good! Random barrels and umbrellas, as well as maybe 10 or so picnic tables across the two outdoor patios (dog-friendly). Saw they also have private event space off to the side. Plenty of indoor seating as well.

They are kid and dog-friendly, too. We ordered an NA IPA (which they have on tap!) and their hop water (comes in a can). Both beverages were absolutely delicious. I love that this place is NA-friendly. They offer some light snacks and free pretzels, which is awesome for a brewery without a kitchen. There is a food truck on site, but it was closed when we visited. No worries, though, you can bring outside food, which is perfect since there are plenty of great restaurants in the area. I asked the bartender if they brew at this location, and he said they've moved all brewing to a different location in Seattle, but it's still super fresh and tasty beer all around. This is a spot worth visiting in Seattle or getting together with a large group for a few drinks. Plenty of choices for everyone!
