This was a random find. We were just kind of wandering around the outskirts of Pike Market, trying to plan the day, when we saw their sign. A quick search later, and we were walking in to place an order. No matter that it wasn't even noon - we were on vacation and determined to enjoy every second of our time in town! The bartender wasn't overly friendly, but we weren't there to make friends. My husband got a pint right away, and of course I went with a flight. It wasn't until I was writing out my flight that we realized Seattle Beer Co. is basically a bar, not a brewery. It was too late for us to leave at that point - hubs had taken a few sips of his beer by then - so I made the best of it. Not that there's anything wrong with bars, mind, but we were on the hunt for local breweries. Sure, they had some local beers on tap, but nothing that was their own. I know this makes me sound like a terrible snob, but when you have your mind set on one thing in particular, it takes the wind out of your sails to discover your assumptions were incorrect. At any rate, we took our beers to the lounge space downstairs, where one other early-drinker was inhabiting a table. We cozied up to the bar that lined the window overlooking the alley behind the building and took our time drinking. I know my husband was planning on two pints while we were there, but the realization that they didn't brew their own beer had him stop at one. We did enjoy what we sampled, but I won't review them here. I don't know what kind of crowd they get during "regular drinking hours", but I did enjoy lounging in the downstairs area. They had some history of beer panels lining the wall in the back, and it was fun to people-watch out the large windows. There's a mural just outside the back door that garnered a steady flow of tourists. Us included. read more

Very cute little multi-level shop in the Pike Place Market area. I like variety, so I tried a flight of beers. The staff made some recommendations based on what I usually like. My favorite that I tried was the pumpkin brew- it really was delicious and seasonal. Their COVID regulations seemed up to par as well and I was comfortable with my visit. They also had outdoor seating available on the lower level read more

Seattle Beer Co - three glasses of beer on a wooden tray - Beer Bar Near Me - Seattle, Washington

It's located across the street from the Pike's Place Public Market, and is a two story tap room, so depending on how you end up there, you might stumble in at the entrance below street level, or the street level entrance. I stumbled in from below street level and found plenty of seating, but no bar at which to order. Never fear my fellow Yelpers, I can walk you through this. Look for the stairs and head up to street level, and you'll find a small bar to order your draft or canned beers from. They have 12 beers on tap and a couple of dozen canned beers. The sign out front touted "over 50 beers" but it looked more like a couple of dozen to me. This is NOT a brewery, so don't expect any of their own brews. However, they carry mostly local and regional brews, so hats off to them for that. Prices - it's in a major tourist area, so the pints are pricey. I had a Hellbent Triple Berry Wheat for $7.50 and the Elysian Men's Room Red Ale (that one was at least $6 but it might have been more, I don't recall). The place seems like a cool place to hangout. Rustic decor with lots of wood and even wooden table tops propped on top of wooden whiskey barrels. Below street level, they have a small patio that fits about three tables. They sell growlers and also refill them here. It's A-OK, I was just looking for a wider selection of draft beers instead of canned selections. Customer service and friendliness from the tapmaster was spot on though. #Cheers! read more

Really good beer. Strange ambiance. Have to order upstairs and then sit downstairs. No view of the puget sound even though it's very close.

Good place, very kind staff and the Orange Creamsicle beer is amazing! I would suggest a flight rather then a single beer. They are all good! read more

Beer lovers you gotta go check this place out. Especially if you are from out of town. Chill atmosphere. Casual. All of the beers are local. Downstairs has a small outdoor area. Cool history of Seattle and brewing process shown on the wall. Not much to tell you besides having to try it yourself. I'm from California and haven't heard of many beers here so I did the flights. Cheers! read more

Definitely not the most impressive brewery I've been to, but there were available tables which seemed to be hard to come by in the area on a busy Friday. The beer list didn't have many light options, and I didn't love the sour I got. read more

Great tasting beers. We tried their flight. The bartender had a great sense of humor. The atmosphere was great but it was very stuffy warm... that's why for the 4 stars. They need ac or something better than their fans blowin hot air. We will definitely go back for the tasting beer. read more

Friendly vibe. Great beer selection. Knowledgable staff. Indoor and outdoor seating. Great to-go canned beer selections.Two thumbs up!

I really liked this place because they had a great selection of not only beers, but ciders as well. I got a flight of 5 beers and I believe it was $16. The bartender was nice and gave us recommendations on beers he thought we might like. It was pretty empty inside, but they have games downstairs as well as tvs to watch sports games. I enjoyed my experience at Seattle beer co! read more

My girlfriend is not a beer person but she was the one who recommended we try some beer while we were in Seattle. Seattle has a lot of local beers and this place has all local beers on tap which was really cool. We also got to watch the end of the Texans Seahawks game which was awesome (great game). We ordered a flight of three beers ($8): Hellbent Amarillo Fresh Hop IPA, Rambling Route Cider, Odins Strawberry Smash Sour. The Odins was a little bit too sour for me but they were all very good. This place is also next to a wall with a nice floral backdrop which makes for great photo ops. read more

Seattle Beer Co - Flight $8 - Beer Bar Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Let me preface this review with the fact that I don't drink beer. Like I'm "that" person that is the DD for brewery tours. But I figured when in Seattle, ya gotta at least try beer. The Seahawks game was also on so I got two birds with one stone. I shared the flight of three beers for $8. That alone was a steal! We got the Hellbent Amarillo, Rambling Route Pear Cider, and the Odin Strawberry Smash Sour. I really like the last two! The Hellbent had too bitter of an aftertaste for my liking. It's a great environment to chill for a few beers and catch the game. P.S. The Seahawks also won today so it made the experience a 10/10 read more

The beertender seemed to have a bit of an attitude towards me, but she warmed up when speaking to my girlfriend. Overall, not a bad visit. Be warned, not a brewery. It's a taproom that will get you out of the hustle and bustle of the market when you need it. read more

So we did have to walk up a flight of stairs in order to order our flights at the bar, then back down the flight of stairs so we could sit outside! Maybe there is another entrance upstairs without stairs and we just came in the back way! I loved that the tastings were served on mustaches, Such a clever idea! Beer was okay, nothing stood out on either spectrum of fanatic or bad! Bathrooms do have a pass code so don't forget to ask! read more

Located near Pike Market this is a great place to stop for a drink. I was in Seattle for 4 days and I ended up coming here two times. They only sell Seattle beer and their flights are really affordable. I believe there were some food options but I didn't look too much at that. They also offer $10 off a growler when you check in! There's two levels and tons of seating, both days I was here there didn't seem to be many people and I'm not too sure why. The service is super fast. I would come here again. There's also a small patio area which fits about 10. Definitely a brewery I'd go to again. read more

Hey! Seattle! Craft beers are your thang but this spot was surprisingly unique! A two story location with ample space surrounded by murals and outdoor seating as well. We love beers on nitro and the two choices in rotation were yum! Stouts are my fav and creamy ales are his. Found both here. Located behind the Gum Wall, down stairs, across the street and behind Pike Place. A four star "better than most breweries" review. read more

Amazing beer. Amazing staff. Overall great experience. We came here after eating so much seafood. We wanted some good beer and the bartenders quickly informed us all the beer is Washington beer and wow is it good beer. We are the type to ask why your favorite beer is and then try that. We got the Meowsa IPA which was recommended by both bartenders and a flight of the apple cobbler cider (very sweet with vanilla notes) the meowsa, and the funky red. All were amazing! We will definitely recommend this to friends and come back read more

Went here on a hot day and my bf and I order a flight each and my gf ordered a glass of her usual beer. I'm not really a beer person so I ordered cider flight instead. It's $9 per flight (with 3 glasses) and my gf's beer was $7. I ordered the Cider Schilling Pineapple Passion fruit, Semi Sweet and the bartender recommended the Black currant (I think it was). He had me try a cider but didn't like it as it was very sour. So he gave me the Black currant one. We got our orders and walked downstairs to sit ourselves. It's first come first serve basis. We sat on a high rounded table and just chilled till we finished our drinks. My favorite from my flight was the Pineapple Passion fruit. It really does taste like Pineapple then my second would be the Semi Sweet. This one has a hint of apple juice flavor to it. I really didn't like the Black currant because it was still sour. My bf and my gf told me to ask if the bartender can switch it to the Pineapple one and I was so embarrassed to ask that I told my them that "it's OK. I think I like it now." I mean I tried so hard to like it but my taste buds was just not having it. They were very insistent that I should try to get it switch and it took them a good 5 mins of convincing before I went upstairs with my gf to ask nicely if I could have it switched to the Pineapple Passion fruit 0because the one the bartender recommended was just too sour for me still. The bartender was soo nice and just took the glass from me and gave me a Pineapple Passion fruit flight glass. I was soo embarrassed. I smiled at him and thank him and just walked away. Lol I'm not sure if people usually do this or if that's even normal. I was just ready to down the Black currant if I had to lol but I did enjoy that last flight glass more than I should have if I stuck to the Black currant. Lol Overall, I would recommend this place. We visited from San Diego, CA and my bf and I like this place a lot. I mean what else can u ask for? The staff were very nice and friendly, the environment is good for hangout, they have a nice art wall just outside their downstairs door, and ohh and they have a big TV downstairs. Lol. My bf and gf said they loved their beers too! We would definitely come back here next time we visit Seattle again I would recommend the Schilling Pineapple Passion fruit if you are not into beers like me read more

While the Pike Place area of Seattle is pretty much a ghost town, Seattle Beer Company was a shining light in a dark era of the city. My friend and I were looking to find a local brewery to go to after walking around the Pike Place area and everything was essentially closed. Seattle Beer Co. was open, had great safety measures (hand sanitizer, spaced out seating indoors, and a small outdoor patio), and excellent service. It was a wonderful space to feel a sense of 'normal' again without fearing for my health and safety. The beer selection is wonderful - especially for me, a LA-based native, to try a wide array of Washington beers. They were serving flights and pints of all the fantastic beer options. Definitely a great option in these challenging times. read more

I am currently not drinking but had I been I think this would have been my first and last stop for the day! They offer a wide variety of ALL WASHINGTON BEERS AND CIDERS (in cans, bottle and on tap). The setting is super cute, lots of TVs for football watching (but not the bar-ish feel), games, posters, pretzels and chips for snacks. The service was great, the selection was great and the overall place was great. I am glad we were walking in this direction as it was not on our radar at all.... HIGHLY RECOMMEND COMING HERE! read more

Really good IPAs and the nicest customer service we've encountered whilst visiting seattle! Cheers to Charlie!!!! A sweetie pie!!

BLUF: A great local stop for some unbeerlievable selections of craft brews! This chic bar was a great stop for my little trip in Seattle. They had a great selection of local craft brews and an array of apparel from hats to shirts that one can purchase. The bartenders are warm and approachable; they can help you select anything from good IPAs to hefes to whatever your heart may ale. I ended up getting a flight of beers to try all the best brews that Seattle had to offer. Honestly, they all tasted delicious...one particular one I remember was the grapefruit IPA. Unless you have one particular beer in mind, the flight is a great option to mix/match or even share with other people (I personally like having my own, but you can have a sip haha) I'll be back again before heading out of the Seattle area..definitely will be dropping by more if I move up here! read more

If you're a beer lover, you have to check this place out. It's kind of hidden in the Pike Place Market, close to the waterfront. It's two floors with a very cool vibe. You can walk downstairs and sit outside, or pull a chair up to one of their barrel tables. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable and had great recommendations for us! They have all local beers and cheap flights to try as many as you want! Needless to say, we walked out a little boozy :) read more

Tucked away between Pike Place Market and the Seattle waterfront is this great little beer spot. It's dog friendly so if you have your little pup pals with you, head on in for a cool beverage. We love stopping by here for a quick flight or two. The tables are covered with maps of Seattle and are great conversation starters for those touring Seattle or just reminiscing about shenanigans from the past. The place is clean and there are large TVs all over the two story establishment. The staff is nice and helpful when you need help deciding from their beverage selection. We will for sure stop in again, cheers! read more

Solid selection of beer but honestly I didn't like any of it. Not enough solid ipas for my taste. Opener also called in sick so we couldn't grab a beer until afternoon. read more

Had a pretty tasty local IPA (Georgetown I think) there last night. Only had a few minutes before our reservation elsewhere so we were only in the establishment for a very short period of time. Needless to say my girlfriend insisted I 'slam' my brewsky so we could get going. Our server was a nice young guy that recommended the beer. I'd like to visit again when I'm in Seattle and have more time. read more

Walking around aimlessly Downtown and happened upon passing this spot a few times. After a fish and chips lunch, this seemed like a good idea. I went with the economical $8 flights (3 beers to choose from). I did the Blonde, Coffee stout, and a sour. All were nice and cold and pretty much tasted like a quality beer. The interior has two levels and two entrances, however, to purchase beer you'll need to go to the top level. Pretty good and spacious on the inside with some TV's running sports. I'd put this on a try out list of you're in Seattle, particularly if you're around Pike Place. read more

After a day of cross-country flying, we really needed a beer that evening so we decided to go to the Seattle Beer Company. It was a rainy, Thursday night in November and this seemed like the perfect spot. There was an event hosted by Georgetown Brewing Company at the time. They were offering a flight, consisting of 3 Georgetown beers. We each ordered the flight and a pretzel. All of the beers were great, but I especially loved the Johnny Utah IPA. It was hoppy and refreshing - just what I needed after a long day. Georgetown also gave us a glass each to take home since we ordered their flight. On top of that, my boyfriend won a raffle for a $25 gift card to Georgetown Brewing Co. It was an awesome first night for us in Seattle, with great beer, a friendly atmosphere, and a Seahawks game. read more

This was a great find to enjoy sit back and enjoy some local brews, all in one spot since we were only in Seattle for one night. The dude behind the taps was knowledgeable in the beer options and friendly as well. Plenty of seating up and down stairs. Several snack options to munch on if that suits your fancy. They also have game options if you wish to challenge your friends while socializing. The bathrooms are clean, but under a keyed lock. Be sure to get the secret code so you don't mess yourself. read more

Considering that my boyfriend is a bit of a beer aficionado and that we were in town on a rare 90 degree Seattle day, the Seattle Beer Co. beckoned to us like a mirage on our way from the waterfront to Pike Place Market. We desperately needed something cold to drink and I was pleased to see that they had two ciders on the menu in addition to all their Seattle-based beer. I sampled both ciders and found them each to be refreshing. It was a coin toss between the two and I couldn't pick a favorite so I had the bartender chose one for me. My boyfriend tried a flight of three beers, an IPA, a double IPA and a stout. Oddly, despite being a lover of IPAs, he preferred the stout. He discovered on our trip to Seattle that not all IPAs are created equal and he prefers the San Diego IPAs to the Seattle ones. read more

Stumbled upon this place by accident last summer while vacationing in Seattle. Cool atmosphere with a large selection of craft beers. Three tv screens to watch a game and great music. This place is one of the main reasons my friend and I return to Seattle as often as we do. read more

A couple things off the bat. First, this is not a brewery. They do not brew their own beer. They're a tap room, with about a dozen lines and a couple dozen others in cans. Really good mix of local and regional stuff, including hard ciders, and one of the few places I went to in Seattle that had more than one token sour on tap. Second, this place can be very hard to find. I was at Pike Place Market and could not follow my Google Maps as it showed me how to get down to the lower street level behind the market. Eventually I made it by taking a set of stairs that seemed to materialize out of nowhere. Third, if you can't handle stairs this may not be the place for you, especially if you can't handle them while holding a beer and/or while buzzing from consuming previous beers. The taps are on the upper floor, which has minimal seating. Most of the tables are down a pretty steep flight of stairs, and there's no waitress service, so you're walking up and down the stairs quite a bit. Fourth, it being what it is and where it is, their prices are a little steep. Everything appeared to be $1-$3 more than what an average craft beer other places in Seattle would cost. I'd imagine the location so close to the market and the waterfront had a lot to do with that. Lastly, their selection was terrific. And that's what I cared about most. The difficulty finding the taproom, the stairs and the prices were worth it. I knocked out some pretty hard-to-find stuff. And while I was there they were training two brand new employees on their first day. They all just seemed to really like craft beer, so when you're there drinking, you're among your kind. They're knowledgeable and enthusiastic about craft. The place in general was a really cool hangout spot. Go during off times if you can because I would imagine a lot of people agree and pack the place routinely. I went on a Wednesday evening and had no problems at all. read more
