    First things first, I don't like the name Ruben. Or any variation thereof. It reminds me of my buenisimo pa'nada hermano. I think of him and instantly get angry. Thanks for letting me get that out. We visited Reuben's when we were on vacation in the emerald city and it did not disappoint. The service was very attentive and friendly. The beers were all fantastic and they also had NA options for my girl. I opted for the flight on my visit and went heavy ipa selections. All were delicious and I had a couple of full pours. I also bought some BBA stouts to share with said lowlife hermano. People were very laid back and the atmosphere was very chill. A bit exciting as the Mariners were in the playoffs. Can't wait to go back and drink again.

    Hop water and flights.

    Fast and friendly service! This venue offers lots of open seating. It's even bigger than I thought it was when we first walked in. There's a room with large mounted tvs, a back room with more TVs, and a give beautiful outdoor area. On this occasion, a tv was set up outside for the Mariners game. There were so many friendly patrons too. We were allowed to share a table with a nice lady so we could watch the game. We also walked away having met former Austinites that relocated to Seattle. Oh and they have delicious beer (from what I was told and because we came twice, I think) and delicious NA options!!

    Another fantastic spot in Ballard. They have a tremendous space with TVs to watch the games, great beer on tap and exceptional customer service. Beer- I had their fresh hop collab with Bale Breakers and it did not disappoint. Really good beer!

    We were in the mood for some brews after spending time at the Nordic museum in Ballard so we decided to checkout Reuben's Brews. Here's my take on the experience: Quality of beer: Good. I tried their porter and hazy IPA and both were delicious and tasted fresh. The porter was not at all bitter and super smooth. The hazy IPA had that unfiltered goodness that you would expect. They have over 20 beers covering a wide spectrum including IPAs, sours, seltzers, and dark. Décor: typical/relaxed. The outside area has nice big picnic tables which were well spaced apart. The inside area is dark and quiet for more privacy. Cleanliness: okay. Many of the outside picnic tables had a bunch of food crumbs or beer spills and it didn't look like the place was staffed to keep them clean throughout the day. Service: good. I was happily offered samples to try and the staff was quick and courteous. Price: kinda high for a brewery. The beers were either $7.50 or $8. I would have expected a bit cheaper price (~$6-$7) since they don't have a middle man and you're going straight to the source of the beer. If you're up for some good quality beers in a cozy atmosphere then Reuben's Brews is a solid choice.

    We were on a brewery tour with Cycle Saloon and this was the first stop. Fun atmosphere with a couple of nice murals and lots of seating areas. We sat in the back room and played a board game while we enjoyed their beers. They have a nice selection and there is a decent amount of food options too. We just came from a dinner nearby so we only their beers this time.

    Stopped by for the anniversary bash. The Groove Surfers band were playing - great music! Place was crowded but we managed to find seats. Good venue and good beer. Can't speak for food as we didn't order any.

    AMAZING BREWS & EATS! Yes, this area of Ballard is full of breweries, alas, most of them do NOT serve food. Reuben's is the exception with a variety of pub fare. I had the Smash Burger with Cheese!. It was great with my flight of Reuban's IPAs. You order your food from the bar where you get your beer. They give you a pager and tell you to pick up your food at the little trailer outside when it goes off. I took my flight and found myself a seat outside. There's also inside seating. I didn't have to wait long for my pager to go off, and I picked up my Smashburger and fries. It was very good, and the beer was excellent. So if you're in Ballard brew hopping, make sure Reuban's is on your list for lunch or snacks! Cheers!

    A fairly well balanced and diverse menu. Great!

    Had an awesome time at Reuben's Brews. I was so excited to try it as I've had their beers shipped to me out of state in the paste and they've always been consistently good. I wont' review every beer but what I would say is they were consistently good. Only one was disappointing - the festbier - but the rest were good and I especially liked the roggenbier. The three stouts I tried didn't have the strongest adjunct flavor which was fine because the base stout was quite good. The Gimme Smores probably just outshone the pumpkin stout latte. The venue is fantastic - huge garden with long tables meant there was a ton of space for everyone to either sit together and meet people or spread out and just chill with one's spouse. Would love to return; had a great time!

    I've been enjoying Reuben's for many years now and made it a point to go to the taproom the last time I was in Ballard. I arrived not too long after they opened and wasn't the first one in. This is a large, open space where you can take a peek at the brew area and enjoy some Henry art on the outside. Like most breweries, they have flights! There were a ton of choices on tap and deciding which ones I wanted was a struggle...do I get ones that I know I like in can to compare it to tap? Do I get all new-to-me? Do I have to come back for more? Yes, yes I do. Food menu is pretty small, but they had a vegan Reuben, which is exactly what I wanted!! So, so hard to find, I'm always happy when I can get my hands on one. The food sitiuition is a touch bit odd - you can order at the counter with your beer, but you go outside to a little trailer to pick it up. If it works, it works, right? The Reuben was absolutely delightful and I'd happily eat another one! I'm also happy that they had a good selection of shirts. While I was there this beautiful blue shirt kept speaking to me so I had to get it - an Oktoberfest shirt! All and all a very solid brewery - stop on by!

    Epic Fish and Chips!
    David B.

    What a great space! Cool vibes at the door as the staff greeted us. We had a group of 6 and the barkeep was very patient with us as we asked about different beers and decided on food. The beer was delicious as we headed outside to find even more indoor seating on the side of the building. Nice long table and bench seating were awaiting us as we enjoyed the libations and spoke of our day together. Soon the food was ready and did it hit the spot! My golden fried fish and chips were outstanding while others had sliders and soups. Smiles abounded and a good time was had by all. Nice work, Reuben's!

    Carol K.

    This is a nice large outdoor/indoor space with several brews on tap. I had an amber something that was very tasty. Beau's crisp lager was a winner as well. The service was good and the food fast. We had a reuben of course and it was good. Definitely shareable. The pretzel and beer cheese meh. I don't recommend it. It came warm out of the microwave which means it hardened fast and the sauce was boring. I would definitely return and there is plenty of space for groups. Looks like a good venue for music.

    Martin K.

    Cool brewery, good beers, and good food! Had a flight and all of the beers impressed, but especially the barrel aged stout. *chef's kiss* I also had the fish and chips which were excellent. Tender strips of fish in a crunchy batter with an understated tartar sauce. Great base for all the beer!

    Zack G.

    I didn't know what to get and I wasn't driving, so I started with a flight. I liked all the beers that I got, but the best was the classic Czech pilsner. The Smore stout was interesting but not what I was expecting. The outdoor patio area had a nice vibe but there was an event going on and it was kind of chilly (the fire pit was off). The inside was nice but a little quieter and empty.

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!
