    Beer to go.
    Andrew C.

    Great service and even tastier suds. The beer was phenomenal and they have a ton of swag you can buy and take home. Really enjoyed the time we spent here. Can't wait to make it back!

    Fresh Hop Season!

    Top 3 breweries in Seattle. From an incredible space with so much seating inside and outside. To their impressive lineup of beer and their exceptional customer service. I loved my time here and was happy that I decided to make the stop. I know there's a lot of options in Ballard but between here and Bale Breakers, you can't go wrong.

    Amazing! Great options for all tastes, heated outdoor area, and good ambiance. Loved the pride support right off the jump & the guy who served us was super nice!

    cool outdoor space

    The venue's great - very classic taproom with tons of production space. We got lucky, we were there on a brew day too - Thursday afternoon I believe it was. We sat outside where they were pumping whatever heat/steam/etc. and it smelled absolutely incredible. Better than fresh-baked bread. Even outside it just smelled absolutely delicious. The only thing was....I found the beers to just be OK. The oktoberfest was good but certainly had better in that area, the lichtenhainer was interesting but not worth writing home about. There were a couple others that I tried too that were all the same - nothing bad but nothing great.

    Stoup Brewery did a fantastic job with our July 5, 2025 post wedding party of 130 guests. All aspects of the evening were wonderfully addressed. Easy access and parking. The large indoor space with high top stools was clean, spacious, some low tables and chairs were wheeled in for our younger and older guests, various games from the game shelves were a hit, private bartender and full staff were friendly and accommodating, wrist bands for our party contract were a fabulous idea, Reserved signs and Welcome sign were a nice touch. We didn't even leave the party space for the outdoor patio or on site food truck. The coordination between you and our outside vendor D'Elementi Catering was perfect.

    Great beer, lovely patio with fireplaces and heat lamps. Very spacious and located in the industrial part of Ballard with lots of other breweries within easy walking distance.

    Our final brewery that we visited in the Ballard neighborhood was Stoup Brewing. We had tried to go to Urban Family across the street but they had already closed for the night, but we saw that Stoup was still open. I couldn't do anymore beer at the end so I just stuck with a sampler. They had lots of beers available on tap, but when my dad ordered a stout and a Bavarian Hefeweizen, I had to have the hefeweizen! Both were in the sample glass, obviously. I think Stoup has one of the best hefeweizens all around. My dad said that their stout was pretty good. They don't serve food directly, but they have a food truck outside. They also have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, which are both spacious. Another great brewery located in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle! This is a must try if you're in the area.

    The place is huge, went there to start off our bar crawl night. Their beer selection is amazing. Tried the fruity versions and ciders because I am not a beer person. The service was good. It was well organized. You come, stand in the line if there's any, get your beer, take a seat, enjoy. Simple concept. There's no food there, but you can order from outside and eat in. The place closes around 11. If you are a beer person, you would definitely like this place.

    Counter service brews with a solid selection. Board games are available and a good variety of indoor seating (we sat at long tables for a group of 10). The acoustics are nice so that the place doesn't get too loud when it's full.

    Paradarade on a perfect evening

    Stoup Brewing is among the cluster of breweries in the area and sits solid in the pack with pretty good selection. Step outside of it and you're only a few yards away from another if you want to brew hop, which is what I did a little of. The young lady doing pours was very cool to talk to about the beers. She made different recommendations and poured samples no problem. Her descriptions were pretty on point, so this was also nice. There is indoor seating which isn't quite that big but has TVs. The patio area is very good, maybe one of the best with decent space and seating of all types with music going. There is a food truck out front like many of the others for some bites while you drink. The Citra IPA is probably my favorite here. As you'd guess, it's citrusy and goes down good on a summer day. Tastes good in can too. My latest visit I had a "Paraderade" IPA. Has a florally flavor, not bad. As far as hanging out, with a sizeable menu, I'd say Stoups is best on this block.

    Vacation is awesome

    100% recommend this brewery. The vibe here and genuine friendly service was an absolutely refreshing experience. The Seattle freeze is none existent here! Excellent friendly service with a smile and pleasant conversation. The beer is delicious too. I had a pint of their flagship IPA with the suggestion it was a great "get to know us" craft beer. Bubbly, light, and super refreshing. The beer garden is huge and inviting too. Cool music to go with the vibes. Steam from the inside smelling like hops and barley came out of the vents in the beer garden. Nicely done Stoup! I ended my visit with a taster of their strawberry sour. Super delicious. Parking in this neighborhood is very tricky and the nearby parking lot is misleading. You can park in the next door lot after 6pm. Otherwise, street parking. Cheers and happy Yelping.

    Now we're talkin'!

    For living in Seattle now for 13 years, I'm shocked with myself not knowing about this awesome brewery. The beer I had was a Bavarians Hefeweizen. It was perfect! It was very smooth and tasty with no harsh acidic at the end. Highly recommend to try these guys out. The girl that took our order was super knowledgeable and friendly. She knows all about their beers. Definitely plan on coming back here. Prost!

    The Citra IPA is a win for even non-IPA lovers, and this time around I thoroughly enjoyed the Mosaic.

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!

We've been twice now, and both times the food has been amazing. You genuinely wouldn't even know it's gluten-free! I'm coming again this weekend, so I'll add pictures afterward! Please open a location up north! Sincerely, someone who would come here way more regularly if I didn't live so far away.

A little too buttery though. The venue was large and delivered the view of the lake on a platter (but that is Seattle). The vibe was lively -- loud blasting music and a ton of people. But...not worth the excessive 45 minute wait after being in line for 15 min. We ordered right after our friends and while I sampled 2 tastes of beer, that took all of 2 min Our almost identical order to theirs came out 20-30 min after theirs. We went up 3 times to check where it was, because the first time (at least 20 min after our friends got their order) the guy told us it was 2 tickets away. More like 20 tickets since we watched order after order being delivered elsewhere... not ours. My husband went up for the second time and never got an answer. And so I went up a third time and was livid as another half dozen+++ orders went by. The frustrating thing is we paid up front and left a 20% tip on the worst food service ever. We have learned our lesson and won't do that again. Recognize it's not just the server it's the entire service...from what happened to our ticket, our food prep and delivery to our table? I doubt I'll make the effort to go back. Because I can pay the same $59 (2 single patty burgers, 2 beers, 1 fries, 1 onion rings) for similar or better food, fantastic views with much better service. Also, they knew but did nothing to make our experience better.
