I don't get down to Maple Valley much, but had to check this place out when I drove by today. Glad I did! Nice and cozy spot that I'm sure I would visit often if I lived closer. I didn't catch the beertenders name, but she was so fun and happy it brought a smile to my face right away. A great variety of good beers on tap, in cans, and bottles. They have a permanent on-site food truck, Burger Buds". I wasn't hungry so I didn't try that, but the burgers looked very good. Interior and the covered deck were very clean and nice. Looks like they have a cornhole tournament every month, and trivia on Tuesday's and they have frequent brewers nights. 5 TV screens to watch sports. A fun spot with great people, great staff, and that is very clean and nice. What's not to like about this place! read more

Really cozy vibe. I like having a pint or two outside. Staff are always welcoming and knowledgeable about selection.

Our glorious beer library! It's my Central Perk Coffee where I can crush a couple of hazys after a long week. But wait! They now have a permanent food truck. None other than the outstanding Burger Buds. Love this place! read more

One of my husband and my favorite date nights. Clean and great service as well. We love their drinks and a fun atmosphere for sure.

HOLY HOPOCALYPSE! Let me tell you about Imbibe Bottle House, where Gary the Hop Ghost maintains order and Gary Busey... well, does whatever Gary Busey wants. So picture this: I'm watching Gary the Hop Ghost perform his usual Tuesday night ritual of rearranging the molecular structure of a double IPA when suddenly, through the slightly ajar back room door, I spot THE Gary Busey, shirtless, performing what can only be described as an interpretive rain dance using empty beer bottles as maracas. His dance partner? A stuffed moose head that I'm pretty sure was winking at me. The bartender (still strictly communicating through interprative dance) claims Busey has been there since 1997, when he wandered in looking for his motorcycle and found his "spiritual beer center" instead. Now he emerges from the back room at random intervals to challenge the psychic penguins to motorcycle races on invisible bikes. The penguins always win, but Busey insists it's because they're "aerodynamically gifted." Gary the Hop Ghost and Busey have formed an unlikely friendship. They co-host a weekly séance where they attempt to contact the spirits of discontinued craft beers. Last week, they successfully channeled a long-lost gruit ale from the 1300s, but all it did was scream in Medieval Latin about the proper temperature for herb infusion. The tension peaked when Busey tried to teach the sentient pretzel union how to method act. The pretzels got so deep into character as artisanal sourdough that they refused to be served with anything less than a wild-fermented spontaneously-aged lambic. Gary the Hop Ghost had to intervene before things got too crusty. Now you'll occasionally catch both Garys in the back room - one floating, one gyrating - debating the metaphysical implications of dry-hopping while the psychic penguins provide smooth jazz accompaniment. The security cameras catch none of this, but somehow all the footage comes out in perfect iambic pentameter. Five stars? The rating system transcended numerical value the moment Busey started using hop bines as dental floss. I've already pledged my firstborn to the Gary & Gary School of Metaphysical Brewing Arts. P.S. If you hear maniacal laughter followed by the sound of spontaneous fermentation, that's just Busey teaching Gary the Hop Ghost how to "laugh with your beer chakras open." The local exorcist has them on speed dial. P.P.S. The bathroom hand dryer still blows pure nitrogen, but now it also plays recordings of Busey reciting the complete history of fermentation in what he claims is "ancient Sumerian" but sounds suspiciously like pig Latin. read more

Beer -- 5/5 So much selection, it's almost crippling. ~25 drinks on tap, all with the Untapped scores. Perhaps 100s of beers in cans or bottles in the fridge. You'll find something that'll speak to you. Outside food is accepted! Service -- 5/5 Quick, polite, straightforward service. No frills and it doesn't need any. Value -- 5/5 Everything was reasonably priced and good value for a pint. read more

Cool taproom with a good selection of craft beers. Also has some nice outdoor seating Came during the weekend and they had a corn hole tournament going on in the back which seemed cool. Little odd right next to the gas station but the building itself inside is great and it doesn't take from the ambiance inside or even on the patio. Worth checking out if you are in the neighborhood looking for a place with a good selection of drinks read more

Imbibe is our favorite local bar. There's a great selection of drinks, both in the case and on tap. There's always something new and interesting to try while also having favorite mainstays. For food, they have a few light bites at the bar (chips, pretzels, etc), but they also partner with a burger stand outside. They used to have a calendar of rotating food trucks, and we do miss the variety of options. That's our one complaint, though we understand that it's nice for management to have consistency. Service is always great and the beer tenders are friendly, personable, and willing to give suggestions or small tastes to help you make up your mind. Whenever we go, the beer tenders know our names, even if we haven't been there in a while. The vibes are also exactly what you want from a neighborhood taproom. This is no dive bar, but neither is it pretentious. Even on busy nights, it never feels overwhelmingly crowded, stuffy, or loud, largely because the beer tenders keep things moving but also because the crowd that comes to Imbibe is down-to-earth and friendly. That's clear on Tuesdays at trivia night, where teams are competitive but always good-naturedly so. We've tried several different places for trivia, and Imbibe's is hands-down the best. Be sure to get there early to get a seat! Overall, we love Imbibe. It's clear that the owners and staff care about what they do and it really shows. read more

I was excited to try this place because I heard that it was nice, had great reviews and that the staff was knowledgeable about their product. I was disappointed to say the least. Don't get me wrong.... The place is beautiful! The lighting, furniture, and ambience was perfect! It was the selection of beer that I was bothered by.... That there wasn't one beer that fit my criteria of good beers on tap. I prefer a dark, bitter, traditional IPA. I don't like the lemony session IPA's. India Pale Ales make up 40% of the beer market in America. And while the sessions are very popular many of us prefer the darker more traditional IPA's. I have owned and managed many locations that serve alcohol. Why a place like this doesn't have at least 40% of their taps filled with IPA's and featuring at least 2 to 3 traditional darker IPA's I don't understand. The server was as disappointed as I was that she did have anything to offer me on tap. She greeted me with a smile and tried her best. I hope they fix this problem. I would spend money there every week if they had a product that I enjoyed. read more

Great selection of beers and such. I don't remember his name, but the bar man had a long beard, had awesome recommendations for beers for us to try. Great experience I'll be back. read more

Laid back neighborhood vibe, good food trucks, and a great outdoor patio (admittedly overlooking a parking lot). They often have offbeat things on tap to try, and of you don't like the options they have on tap their are fridges helpfully labeled--easy for me to find the cider & wine sections as a non-beer drinker. All the employees I've met so far are friendly and seem to be having a good time, which always helps me feel comfortable, too. read more

Imbibe is awesome! And a great place to meet and have a relaxing drink with friends! I have no complaints and my wife and I love this place!

Friendly service, inviting environment, great beer! Would recommend to anyone locally or swinging through the area.

Great little spot to try any of the ciders or beers on tap! Plus plenty in the beautifully displayed refrigerated area. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating, board games to play, tvs to watch sports, etc. They have a few snacks items too, should you need to eat. read more

Always excellent selections, a clean environment, friendly staff, and it's extra great when there's a food truck outside! Definitely a place to go! Love the outside patio, too! read more

Good company and hundreds of beer, wine or seltzers to choose from. You can even bring in your own food but many times they have a fantastic food truck outside. It's always a different truck so you get to enjoy new food and a new beer on tap! I even love to bring my friendly dog here and sit outside under the heated pergola. Often they have fun events that include brewers nights, trivia nights and Corn Hole tournaments. It's a really fun place to chill alone or meet up with friends. The service is perfect! All of the beertenders are quick to assist you with a samples or a pint. They know a lot about their inventory and can usually lead you to your new favorite. read more

I absolutely love this place! First off, brewers nights are just the coolest. If you like trying new beers it's a fun way to do it. Especially visiting with the actual brewers is a fun experience. They are always super friendly and not bothered by my million questions. Secondly, the food trucks have been nothing short of fantastic. The Alaskan Scallop truck, the pizza truck and the jambalaya truck were some of my favorites! The staff is always so relaxed and kind even when they are slammed, and never too busy to make sure you get your loyalty points if your a regular, which is an awesome program by the way. Great rotation of beers that feels ever changing, I always get a sampler but I don't think I'll ever try them all. The new outdoor space looks awesome. Lots of seating. There's a few board games as well. read more

Cash & Card accepted Free public Parking Great for adult groups Restrooms available Darts available Outdoor seating with heater Great atmosphere I went for a day trip to Franklin Falls and was craving for some local brew, then stumbled upon this hidden gem. With a great selection of brews, I chose the Belching Beaver, peanut butter flavored porter. What an amazing taste and fragrance!!! An awesome spot to hang with friends after a day trip hiking or skiing/snowboarding. Overall, a great spot to wind down and to hang out with buddies while enjoying some snacks from their menu. Atmosphere is amazing while they have channels to view sports. A definite mention!!! read more

Love to come here for a beer and board games after a dinner out. Vibe is laid back and welcoming. Always find something on tap worth trying. Bartenders and other patrons don't look at us weirdly for playing dorky games. Music is usually pretty good and not crazy loud so you can still have a conversation. read more

They had a pretty good selection of craft beers, but not much in the cider department and very limited food selections. We visited on a Saturday afternoon and the staff was just kind of standing around talking to each other about being excited to get off and go out that night. There wasn't much customer interaction at all, which I thought was strange, given that they were standing in front of their guests. We each drank about half of our beer and left. It wasn't our vibe. read more

Hubby and I have been enjoying time here while kiddo does science fridays over at Steamboat. Service is ALWAYS great. Bathrooms are always clean. Beer and snacks, tho simple are wonderful. outside space looks great year round and plenty of tvs and seating. Love this place. read more

I just found that many of the bottle prices are just too high, I like that they carry Chuckanut occasionally but it's double the price. It's a decent atmosphere. read more

Love this place! All kinds of great choices on tap. Love to get the flights! Also awesome that they have a well stocked refrigerated selection that can be opened with a small uncorking fee. Finally love that food trucks come on the regular and any other food is also invited in. read more

We came here after a hike on a Saturday afternoon. We got there as soon as they opened. They have a ton of different beers! Pretty small place, but ambiance is great. I ordered The Med salad... says it's suppose to be romaine lettuce but it was a spring mix which I didn't mind at all. The salad was good, but the greens were wilted. My friends each ordered a panini and loved it. Food is very limited, and apparently you can bring in your own food? The place started to fill up pretty fast. I can tell they're a pretty popular place. The beers I had were delicious and refreshing. I'll definitely come back, especially for one of their many events that they have (trivia night on Tuesdays?)... read more

Great service and a wide array of beers. Bring your own food. Bartenders are friendly and helpful!

Imbibe is a great neighborhood spot! Their selection of more than 20 draft brews offers something for everyone, the inside is laid-back and comfortable. The folks working behind the bar are knowledgable and friendly. read more

Love the atmosphere! Came here for all-day happy hour Monday and enjoyed some beers and a pretzel. The few times I have been here have always been with great and friendly service! Due to the fires and the smoke we weren't able to sit on their outdoor patio like we normally do but the couches on the inside were surprisingly comfy. Come here if you are looking for a chill spot to enjoy some beers with friends! Especially when they have a food truck! read more

Imbibe Bottle House & Taproom - Rotating IPA's and whatever your flavor - Beer Bar Near Me - Maple Valley, Washington

First visit. Last visit. Hardly anyone there on a Friday afternoon. Staff was uninterested in us and, literally, made us feel uninvited. No "hello" or "welcome in." Nothing. Never going back. Poor selection of wine. Didn't have any chardonnay. Place is clean, with a below average selection of beer for a place like that. Evidently, you have to know the bar tender and be regular to get good service. Not "epic fail," but close. read more

Update: Still love it here with the staff and if I'm not mistaken Monday's are all day happy hour and double 5 star points! If you're looking for something to do on a Monday or any day that ends in Y check it out. Chill vibe and atmosphere every other night besides Tuesday. Tuesday nights are trivia night and can get packed quickly and you need to get here early for a seat. Like 5:30 when trivia starts at 7. Great fun though! Check it out but they also do Tap nights and it's just a great local place! Flights are the way to go if you can't decide. They will let you sample it if you don't want to take the chance on a flight. Friendly staff and great restating tap of beers. They always have ciders and wine on tap for those that don't love beer! They also sell individual beers by style of beer! We're always happy here read more

Good selection of craft beers, out doors seating and you can bring food in, will go again

Imbibe to your health! This a great local beer bar filled with all sorts of great craft beers from around the country. Being from South Florida, the beer bars I am used to are much different, and it was nice to visit a modern, classy bar with an up scale feel and local vibe. Upon walking in, you notice a large bar to the right with seating, multiple tables to the left, and a lounge area in the back. The walls are lined with beer coolers, which has are broken down by beer style. Being a fan of sours and porters, I was very happy with the local selection of beers I had never tried. They also have a large draft selection with a current tap list above the bar. There were multiple people at the bar that seemed to be regulars, which shows me the staff is friendly and the service is good. When you can find a local place with a great beer list, rotating food options, and a good group people, it quickly becomes your favorite hangout. If I was a local, this would be mine. read more

Says open. Not open. Have a backup plan for the night. Seems like it could be okay though.

Wow - such a great place to try tons of beers! Outside seating is great even if it overlooks the gas station and busy road. Dogs are allowed on the patio. Inside is cozy and fun. Tons of taps to try plus cases of different bottled beer. They have some wines but I was there for the beer. There are a few small food items you can order. Nothing fancy about them but good snacks when you are having drinks with friends. Staff was nice and knew the beers. You do have to go inside to order (no outside service at least the day I was there). Great prices for the quality of beers they serve. read more

Used to love coming here but I will not pay $8 to $10 for even a great quality pint when I can go to Brewmasters or CRFT for much cheaper and every bit as good. Pricing needs to come down to earth a little like 6.50 to 7 for their top tier selections which is more in line right now in the area. Not sure about Brewmasters but CRFT also does an all day happy hour too. read more

We have dropped in several times after a bike ride on the trail or walk with the dog. They welcomed our puppy on a leash even though she chewed thru it-and broke free! The locals are friendly and frequent regulars. There are some comfy couches seats in back, high tables and outdoor stools. They sell canned or beers and ciders on tap. You can view the selection on the Untapped app. We also liked to swing by to fill our growlers. My go to beers are pale ales, reds, ambers or kolsch and my husband prefers IPAs. It seems difficult to find a beer that fits our preferences and feel they cater to fruity, lighter and small batch brewers rather than any established beers. Food is usually available from a food truck outside and varies daily. The do offer some snacks like pretzels and cheese and crackers. We quit going because the staff changed often and the servers didn't seem to know much about beer. read more

With almost 30 taps, 95% are IPAs. Having a better selection would be great. Get some Belgium beer, it's awesome!

Great brews and environment! The selection was great and the micros were very good. I took a few growlers to go!!

Nice laid back vibe. Great beer selection and the website had an up to date tap list so you can preview ahead of time. A good variety of beer by the can to take home too. Has an outdoor patio and there was a dog out there but I'm not sure what the actual pet policy is. read more
