From IPAs, fruity goodness, and non-alcoholic bevvies, I guarantee there's something for everyone in your group to enjoy. I met up with a group of friends for a mid-week drink at this Ballard favorite. My drink of choice was the Wassail, a holiday spiced cider. A more traditional cider in comparison to some of their wacky flavors. Their outside patio is large, with a variety of both covered and uncovered seats available. While they don't serve food onsite, you can view their website for a calendar of upcoming food trucks. We were also obsessed with their analog photo-booth and ended up having a very expensive photo shoot post-drinks.

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.

I've reviewed a lot of breweries, and Fremont Brewing did not disappoint!…read more This cool spot has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. A truly legit outdoor space! 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!

A huge shout out to Julian who was manning the counter. What a friendly young man with a great demeanor. I did not feel unwelcome at all! It is still a local vibes only spot for sure, but a small conversation about my hometown, Laguna Beach, and the OC, and being a transplant from CA in WA with Julian made me feel right at home here. And he is very knowledgeable about the beers and really enjoys working at a brewery. He recommended the Patersbier, a belgian single, 4.9%. Delicous and slightly spicy. Not hot. Just order it and you will taste it. Enjoy life and be friendly. Lol. SYOY!

There are two sides for service at the bar. Everyone goes to the first one but there are two. Televisions for sports viewing too. You can bring outside food in but I brought a Sammie from a an earlier Yelp event. Of course! The hazy dawn patrol is a must have for hazy lovers. Mild flavor and easy drinking. But dang it if the shandy style pineapple disco lemonade didn't just hit the spot!! A lighter more summery style beer. Definitely worth a visit if you're in this part of town. Cheers! SYOY.

I somehow lived nearby for 2 years and had no idea this place existed until this week. I thought it…read morewas Rooftop Brew Co because they had a huge mural that caught my eye. The entrance was a bit confusing because there's not really a path to the door--it's between parked cars and a tree and patio. We had to duck under the tree to get to the door. The patio looked really nice though! The place itself was nice and looked freshly painted, so I thought it was new until I looked on Yelp and saw that it had been around for years. It was seat yourself when we went, and the server arrived within a couple of minutes. Beers were excellent. Food was pretty good, but I always find it frustrating to have to pay $5 extra for fries. Since that felt like a rip off, we opted for a veggie slider on the side instead, which was the same price. Veggie slider was really good, and the honey sriracha aioli, recommended by our server, was awesome. The fish sandwich was pretty tasty but much smaller than I was expecting, and felt expensive for the size and lack of side dish. We also got a bowl of vegetarian chili, which was good but not my favorite. Very smoky, the type of chili that is usually paired with barbecue. I just prefer my chili a bit more tomatoey, but I'm sure plenty of people like a smoky chili. There was a big group of people playing cribbage, which I thought was fun and charming! Lots of folks hanging out at the bar. Seems like a place that has lots of regulars. I'd come back!

Solid, cozy spot for bar food and good brews…read more Come in out of the cold and dig in to the menu of comforting sandwiches and burgers. Sliders are great to pair as snacks with beers. For this the Jolly Royal slider is straightforward but the combination of charred beef and caramelized onions does the trick. Hope the oyster po' lil oyster slider makes a return. Nice beers on regular rotation with plenty of IPA options. It's got a worn PNW charm that makes Jolly Roger an inviting spot for pints and some food.

They were both crispy, delicious, and totally hit the spot for a warm Seattle day! The staff was super friendly. More than happy to answer questions so we could pick beers we'd enjoy.

It's awesome that they are carrying a local snack brand. Can't wait to come back and bring my dog next time!

In short Gorgeous lineup of beers made as well as you can…read moremake beers. Outside food is welcome, the ballgame's on the tube, and you can play shuffleboard and other stuff to wile away the hours. Regular trivia nights and other events. Wines, ciders, seltzers, and candy also available. In long When he first started selling beers, he made a lot of saisons. For some of us, those dry, funky Belgians are where your palate finds home after trying every beer style. Only some of us, though. They can be hard to sell after a while, especially these days. So now the lineup here runs to lots of gorgeous, refreshing lagers, some explosively-flavorful hoppy stuff, and the occasional big chewy high-abv ale. For a saison whore like me, this is kinda like learning Michelangelo doesn't paint anymore, he just gets down with sculpture now. Not a tragedy by any means, but we still feel the absence. But why are saisons not the huge seller that IPAs are? Well, in part, 'cause old heads like me cut out beer. I did, anyway. I came out of retirement yesterday afternoon to try Nick's beers 'cause they had a Washington Cheese release event at the brewery yesterday. (Can't wait to try those, by the way). I checked out a landbier, german pils, west coast pils, and a hazy IPA. All wonderful, refreshing, and without flaw. We had a couple other beers at the table, along with a seltzer and wine. There's nothing here I wouldn't have again. The space is a good size--seating here, bar back there, brewhouse off to one side, more seating up the ramp in back. They had the Olympics on the flat screens and projector. There are board games and cards near the bar, and shuffleboard upstairs. This was another brewery before, and that brewery put in the shuffleboard table and at least some of the brew equipment. You can still see the name of the old brewery here and there. L&L is an even better source of beer IMO. Somewhat infamously, this space was also a funky dive bar and a, uh, gentleman's club in decades gone by. No trace of either of them remain. The folks who run this place are friendly and fun, and there aren't too many places making beer this good. They even have a great knack for designing cool labels (all done in house!). Highly recommended.

Yes! They now offer flights of beer. Four to be exact and so I did decide to take notes on my four…read morebeers. Before you had to order the smallest pours to create a "flight" and the reason they did not offer flights of beer was because, And I was told this, that their beers are light so need to offer a flight. Anyway. I like a flight which allows you taste a variety of beers. Enough about flights! Now the deets about the beers I tried on this visit. #1 Television People, 4.8%- Kolsch Weisse w/coriander and lemon peel. This one was my favorite! Super refreshing and not too much lemon flavor. #2 Death Rides A Horse, 5.0% An Italian Style Pilsner- From my notes, an excellent Pilsner. Freaking delicious. lol #3 OG Kush 5.2%, West Coast 420 Pale Ale. A bit too danky tasting but good. #4 Sunny Hills, 5.0% 6th Double Dry Hopped Italian Pilsner. Light, refreshing delicious. A typical brewery with games, good music, and seating inside and out. Situated in an industrial area. Worth stopping by! SYOY.
