    Dogs aren't allowed per King County code. I was in there recently and there were several dogs.

    Did something change with the dog rules? Morgan said 6 years ago dogs aren't allowed. I was really happy to see him take a stand and enforce the health code, unlike so many other businesses in Seattle. I was in there recently and there were a lot of dogs. Some were barking. Not a pleasant ambiance. There's an outdoor seating area. I don't know why they aren't using that. Nothing new, entitled people choosing which laws to obey, little to no common sense, and a selfish attitude. Anyone in a position to do something about it is afraid or lazy or "didn't see it". I would say I won't shop there anymore but the business clearly has a majority of scofflaws so it's not like they will miss my business.

    I really wanted to love this place. Unfortunately, due to the grumpy service I did not. Maybe the two guys were hungover or something. They sent off a negative vibe like I was irritating them and not wanted there. Fortunately, I am a teacher newly on summer vacation vibes so, a few unfriendly grumpy dudes were not going to ruin my day. And the overall vibe of this place was friendly amongst all the patrons. I did notice that they were friendlier to other customers so maybe my expectations of beer chat were just too much for these two grumpy dudes. Ok, now to the beer review. The can selection is crazy huge! The draft list is also huge, and I relied on my own tastes and wants to make choices. Yes, I can do that because I know what I like. #20 Babtized in Blood, Hazy IPA, Holy Mountain, Seattle WA 7% 10/10 Delish. #13 Watermelon Splash Fruited Sour, Lucky Envelope, Seattle WA 5.6% 10/10, refreshing, light and a great summer drinking style beer. #6 Hazy IPA Greetings from Belmont 5.3% 7/10 nothing super special, my opinion #8 "Calcium" Blood Orange Fruited Cider, Elemental Hard Cider, Arlington, WA 6% 10/10 #11 Summer Saison, Holy Mountain 4.9% 0/10 This tasted like no Saison I have ever had before. Heavy and not smooth. In an attempt to make conversation I actually asked the two grumpy dudes about it. Which in turn made them grumpier, but seriously, this Saison tasted and drank more like an IPA. I am not a professed expert, but I have had Saisons before and this one was horrible. Would I come back to the beer junction? Maybe with a group of friends, but not necessarily. Especially when there are so many choices in this part of West Seattle that are a heck of a lot friendlier. But the huge selection is undeniably impressive. Cheers and Happy Yelping!

    If you are a beer (or cider) lover, look no further! I am frequently in the Junction and have always seen/passed by this spot but surprisingly, have never been inside. A reason came up so I recently went in and it was a lot bigger than I thought it'd be. There were 30ish beers on tap and fridges' galore of canned beers, ciders-- as well as non-alcoholic beverages which I appreciated to see. I was debating between a few of the hazy IPAs so the worker let me sample a few which was very nice. I ended up going with the Dolphin Noises and that was delicious. The vibe in here was so welcoming and chill. I could definitely see it being a great spot to grab a drink after work, meet up with friend, or come to during a sports game. I will note that they do not sell food but they are BYOF so next time I come, I will grab a snack and come here for a drink. They are also dog-friendly which made me very happy!

    The Beer Junction has 30+ beers on tap and 2 long rows of fridges filled with beers. I tried their St Patrick's day special black beer, it was an English style dark ale ($6.25 16oz). Pretty empty on a weekday evening, and they probably have 6 tables and some bar heights to sit at with people watching sports on tv.

    What makes a taphouse worthwhile? Offering HIGHLY rated beers, and highly rated breweries!! The Beer Junction nails it! I always look for my favorite breweries whenever visiting a tap house. My faves include: Ravenna, Structures, Cloudburst, Urban Family & Great Notion [which is ONLY on tap at a few Seattle spots outside THEIR taproom BTW!] All the beers I had were all delicious! Seems like they only serve the cream of the crop. No pedestrian crap on tap here! I love that they offer many size options too! Sample size (5oz) / 10oz / 16oz. Since I have sooooo much beer at home, I didn't even look at the rows and rows of cases they had with single beers. There was A LOT to choose from! I did spot a Brewing Projekt can in there, on my way to the bathroom. That's a huge bonus right there, and tells me they've got quality stuff! My hubby did get a can of 450 to enjoy at the taproom. We spent $12 to enjoy it on premises. Pretty expensive, but if you are familiar with 450 that is a typical going rate. Overall great spot with great beer! Loved it!

    I went to this place pre-covid during an Art Walk and was overwhelmed by the selection. It was nice to stop in when it was less busy this past weekend. The have outdoor space set up and 3 tables inside that are very spread apart a a huge window that opens allowing for a lot of air circulation. Being from the East Coast, I'm used to folks in Seattle being nice enough but not very chatty. We ended up staying and chatting with the guy working the front of the house and one of their regular customers for quite a while though! So easy going and welcoming. We tried a couple IPAs and a Sour, all were great. After having a couple drinks we shopped in the store. The variety is so fun, with all of the fridges clearly labeled by beer type. You can find common beers and obscure ones, and it's fun to mix and match. There's also about a half fridge just dedicated to non-alcoholic drinks, and they carry some good ones like Athletic Brewery and Partake, along with some lesser known. It looks like they have space on their tap list for non-alcoholic options too during normal times. Overall we had a great experience and will definitely stop by in the future when we're in the area.

    We always like bringing a few beers and ciders back from our trips so we decided to check out The Beer Junction. They have a huge collection of beers, ciders and even sake. They also have a bar when you first walk in where you can sample from a list of 65 options. Cool that they have a different brewery event every Thursday (6:00pm to 8:00pm). There's 39 fridges to browse (triple IPA fest, hops, light & medium bodied, chocolate beer week, dark/strong side, rare/sour/odd & delicious, cider & mead and non-alcoholic) so make sure you have some time to look around. There was a ton of people stocking up by the cartload. - Flight - they offer flights of 4, 5 and 8 (4 oz samples). You write down what you want and prices range from $1.00 US to $6.50 US. We went with Timber City Ginger's imperial ginger brew (#33), Elemental Hard Cider's "calcium" blood orange (#3), Mystic Kombucha's lemon goji berry (#41), Snowdrift Cider's cornice (#38) and Seattle Cider's gin botanical (#45). The only one I really liked was the kombucha. The calcium blood orange wasn't bad but was lacking in blood orange depth. The other three we didn't particularly enjoy. - Nashi chojuro perry ($12.99 US for 355ml) - Tieton Cider Works apricot cider ($2.25 US) - Bad Granny black current ($1.75 US) - Ulee's Light Cider bing cherry ($2.15 US) Didn't love the samples we tried but an interesting variety of drinks to choose from. 3.5 stars.

    Truly the beer junction. A nice beer hall in west seattle. Has a wide selection of beers. Loads of seating and the place can get pretty packed on weekends. We tried the heffeweiser and another beer with maple syrup it was delicious! They also sell beer for those who want to buy some for home. One is truly spoilt for options at this place. They have snacks but no food at this place. For people from downtown seattle, this place is very similar to Teku Tavern. Will visit this place again and again for a fun beer night at the junction.

    12% and delicious? Yes, please. Coffee beer fest!

    I love browsing the bottle selection because they have such an interesting variety of beers and ciders! If you ever want to try something new or get your alcoholic friend a thoughtful gift, this is the place to be. The themed weeks are awesome, and they've got some delicious options on tap for coffee beer fest right now. We were able to saunter in on a Saturday afternoon and grab a table! We even snagged a parking spot in the back lot. I've seen people order nachos from next door, and they look awesome. The sushi restaurant across the street isn't bad either--I'm totally ordering from there next time. The bathrooms are cleaner than I would have expected (that's always a delightful surprise). This place is a win-win-win in my book.

Service - excellent. super friendly. quick to make drinks and check in on us. Ambiance - I literally jumped when the door opened because I was not sure where the entrance was.

    Tucked away on California Avenue in West Seattle, The Alley feels like a little secret you're lucky…read moreto be in on. The speakeasy-style entrance sets the tone right away--very prohibition-era vibes, a little mysterious, and definitely part of the charm. It's the kind of place you half expect to need a password to get into. Once inside, the ambiance really delivers. Dim lighting, cozy atmosphere, and a menu that leans into that classic cocktail culture without feeling overdone. The drinks are genuinely solid--well-crafted, balanced, and surprisingly fairly priced for the quality. What really makes this spot stand out, though, is the live jazz. If you can swing a visit on a Sunday or Monday night, do it. The music adds so much character to the space and turns a casual night out into something memorable and a little transportive. Service was a bit slow during our visit, but honestly, it made sense--there were only two people running the entire place. Even with that, they stayed friendly and composed, which says a lot. It didn't take away from the experience, just something to be aware of if you're in a rush. Overall, The Alley is a gem--great vibes, great music, and great cocktails. Definitely worth a visit if you're looking for something a little different in West Seattle.
