Drink selection was delightful, ambiance was sweet, but the service here was what I won't forget. The waitress was sweet as pie, attentive and checking on us frequently. She was admittedly a little flirtatious, sneaking kisses under the table... but we made sure to tip her handsomely in repayment. 10/10 will be back again, hoping to see Miss Blue here too. read more

Went here for the first time yesterday. Our timing was probably a little off as it happened to be the day of the month that they hosted the monthly silent book reading club. Though it was eerily quiet, the host invited us to still have a beer which we did. He was very nice and we saw they had a very interesting collection of custom foods and merch. We'll definitely visit again when things are a little less quiet read more

A very dog friendly place where the dogs run around unleashed. Both indoors and outdoors. So if you are scared of dogs, please stay away. But all the ones which I saw during my time there were well mannered and didnt bother other customers. We were two of us - i tried the Hefe and my friend had the cider but felt it was too sweet for him, even though he liked it, didnt go for a repeat. My 2nd was the Fast fashion Pigeon Hole (Czech amber lager) and it was good too. A nice place, good ambience, and definitely worth a visit. Loved the posters in the restroom. read more

We came to the Brewmaster's Taproom on Saturday as a party of 2 at 5:00 on Saturday. It was lively but not too busy-we were able to find seating quickly. They do not serve food here, but I appreciate that they encourage you to bring your own. We saw a lot of people with pizza and to go boxes. The bartender was kind enough to let me try a few beers before I settled on my two. I loved their selection-they really had something on tap for every type of beer lover. Multiple IPAs, Pilsners, Stouts, Goses...etc. They sell some beers to go as well as some locally made goods. I would love to come back! read more

I've been here a couple times, mainly with the Renton Silent Bookclub and it's been great every visit! The owners are friendly, the drinks are great and reasonably priced, and the space has a cool atmosphere that makes it feel like a great spot to hang out. A huge thank you to the owners for hosting us, they are really welcoming to the community and we greatly appreciate it!!! read more

I really love all the things they do for the community. Keep up the good work and the drag story time!

Wow, once again Yelp to the rescue! I was in Bellevue and had a couple of hours to kill before picking up a friend at Seatac. Seemed like the perfect opportunity to find a new brewery or beer spot. So I searched in Renton and up popped The Brewmaster's Taproom. Located in a semi out-of-the-way strip mall off of 405 I can easily say I would never have known it was there if not for Yelp! I arrived about 5pm on a Friday - always a dangerous traffic time to be heading south through the S-curves, but it wasn't too bad and soon I was in a socially distant line to order my beer. The selection was great - especially if you're an IPA lover, as there were several beers in that category. Being more of a malty fan, the selections were fewer but still good. I settled on a Pelican Cream Ale and went to sit outside on their cozy, covered, warm outdoor patio. Everyone sat far apart at their own socially distant tables, and masks were required when not at your table. It felt very safe (and the heater right next to my table made it one of the better outdoor beer experiences I've had lately). Inside, in addition to the bar where you order your favorite pint, they also have cans/bottles to go, and a great selection of handmade masks and other crafts if you want to do a little shopping. I really loved this place and can't wait to go back when I have more time to enjoy some of their other beer selections! read more

The Brewmaster's Taproom - Cool vibe. - Beer Bar Near Me - Renton, Washington

Still a family favorite for us! My husband will take my daughter and meet with friends and their kids on a weekend afternoon. Our daughter loves the dogs. My husband enjoys getting a beer or two and then stocking up on some to take home. When it's warm we love to sit outside! Brewmaster's has the best, kindest people who are a part of their team. read more

The Brewmaster's Taproom - Even dogs get served at the bar - Beer Bar Near Me - Renton, Washington

This place is basically like daycare for grownups. Except you can bring your dog and kid along if you want. And order food delivery from wherever, or just sit there eating cookies and scones (from their affiliated small bakery) like any well-adjusted adult. Behold, my juice box (Tieton mixed-berry cider) and confetti explosion of a rice krispy treat (laced with fruity pebbles). Some weeknights are trivia. Some Saturdays are storytime (for actual kids, but they don't discriminate) followed by free-play bingo, both led by the drag queen hostess with the mostest, Sylvia O'Stayformore. But all the other times, it's a gathering spot for beer lovers, tended by people who know their stuff, with coolers full of short-run brews you've never imagined. And the centerpiece, a lineup of 25 taps, of which 1 will be root beer, 3 or 4 will be ciders and sometimes a sour, and the rest will be a whole gamut of beer. (There's always a huge range of styles, from wit to darks, but hazy IPA fans will be especially happy.) Nearly all are WA-made or other local (PNW) brews. And yes, you can try some sips before you settle on something. The lineup is ever-rotating, but you can always scope out the list ahead of time here: https://fbpage.digitalpour.com/?companyID=5759b9c15e002c14504938da&locationID=1 Pay careful attention to the hours -- the close early on Monday, Tuesday, and especially Sunday. read more

Located in a strip mall, I blew right past it before I finally found it. It was pretty quiet when we got there. A quick trip up to the counter to see what was on tap. While in mid scan, somebody starts licking my hand. Did I mention it's very dog friendly? I grabbed my brew and found a table. I should have gone outside and sat in the sun but hung out inside. Pretty busy when we left and lots of doggos catching rays. read more

I love that you can bring dogs to this place! Pretty small inside part so can get kinda cramped. Can sit outside when it is nice too! I got a few beers when I was here can't remember what kind. They have a big cooler with lots of selections. The one negative was the woman working there. She was super short and rude to me and especially my wife. For no reason. Like backhanded, semi-passive aggressive comments then would play it off like she wasn't being rude. But I basically just ignored it and enjoyed my couple beers read more

The Brewmaster's Taproom is a great Beer Bar located in Renton. This taproom is one of the few locations in the area that carry Manfish Brewing's beer. Manfish doesn't have their own tasting room but by checking out the brewery's website I learned that they distribute their beer to several locations in the Seattle, Renton and Kent areas. The Manfish Beer I got was Pudge The Curmudeon which was an IPA style beer. I also got a beer by Modern Times Brewing and really enjoyed that beer as well. The staff was very friendly and I would definitely like making a trip back to get the Manfish beer again for starters. read more

The Brewmaster's Taproom - Dinosaurs are ready to greet you at The Brewmaster's Taproom. - Beer Bar Near Me - Renton, Washington

Great beer, sit extremely close to the brewing process. Great staff. Nice location.

When I first got here, I walked up to the bar to order but there was no one available. I stood for a few minutes and then finally someone came from the back room and took my order. I was a little confused why there would only be one person working the bar (or not, as it were) considering the amount of customers there were, but maybe they were having a staffing issue. There's a good selection of beers available here that are really reasonably priced, but I couldn't stand the table set up. Each table has a seat that swivels out, which can make it hard for conversation. Also the tables are really wide, so if you have a group of more than two, it can feel kind of awkward. One thing that this place has going for it is that it was a very inclusive space. Babies and dogs both were present in the time I was there and if memory serves correctly, the bathroom door is labeled "whatever". I really wanted to like this place and it seemed to have a good vibe, but until the table and chair situation has changed, I probably won't be returning. read more

The Brewmaster's Taproom - Brew for pups! - Beer Bar Near Me - Renton, Washington

Love this place!!! Stopped by on a Saturday afternoon and enjoyed some amazing local beers (plus some tasty root beer for the non-alcoholic peeps in our group). Super chill vibe. The person at the bar made some great suggestions, let us try a few flavors, and was just super fantastic. I loved everything I drank -- a nice hazy pale ale and then this delicious fruity beverage??? Plenty of nice places to sit (inside and out). Will definitely be back! read more

We went here after we started to foster puppies. Another foster mom showed us and we love it. The staff are super friendly, amazing selection of all types of beers and ciders. Dog treat they make, dog beer and rootbeer on tap. My family only goes here we don't even go to normal bars anymore. I can't recommend this place enough. You can grab pizza or bring food in to which is nice. read more

Fun little spot in Renton. We went for a paint night but it looked like they had fun theme nights benefiting schools and animal rescues often. The Amber (#16) and the Postdog Donirua (#9) were worth coming back for. Great staff and a fun, low key vibe. Very dog friendly! read more

The Brewmaster's Taproom - Beer Bar Near Me - Renton, Washington

So, decent beer, ultra friendly folks, and you can order (meh) pizza from next door to bring in. And, a manager/owner who actually reads these and then kindly posts in response to your Yelp review (extra star earned for that, Marley). Plus, they had an event the night we went, which added to the ambiance -- but also the length of the line to get your drinks, which funnily enough was a single file line rather than the bombard-the-bar scenario. So, we waited in line, then got a few beer flights -- 5 beers for a reasonable price, which turned into 4 beers plus raffle tickets for the event (so if that bothers you, you might want to avoid events). I'll admit the seats are weird (they are attached to the table and swing out, which means you can't cuddle up with anyone for a closer conversation). But, all's well that ends well, and well, my codrinker won one of the raffle prizes! $5 for use at another business and two pint glasses. Bottom line: Fun with a family feel. read more

The Brewmaster's Taproom - Special night every other Thursday -- one less pour but a chance to win gear. Plus you can bring in your own food. Weird and fun! - Beer Bar Near Me - Renton, Washington

Great beer selection and a welcoming staff. There are some specialty baked goods if you want sweets. Even the customers are friendly.

Date night dud! Unfortunately, this place was pretty much a dump. No atmosphere. Flat, tasteless beer. Overpriced food. Poor service. Do yourself a favor and skip this place and go somewhere better on date night. read more

The Brewmaster's taproom always has a great selection of local Washington and out of state beers on tap, as well as a solid bottle selection to go. The people who run this place really know how to select great beer because I'm always amazed by the A+ beers I have when I visit. A true locals taproom. read more

This is a unique, funky little place! Initially, some friends and I were looking for some post-hike beer and food. Plus, my coworker said, "I've driven past this place lots of times and NEVER stopped!" Pulling into the parking lot of the strip mall, we were greeted by a small, white, fuzzy pup named Milo. He had come from a cute little outdoor patio around the side of the tap room. This place was pup friendly! To our dismay, there was no food menu, but they did offer a bowl of chili. It was surprisingly good! They have an ample seating, and the decor has a very clean, industrial look. Plus they have about 20 different beers on tap. And you guys! They're listed on TVs with LITTLE KEG LOGOS to let you know how much is left in it! They also have a TV room with a couch, that looks similar to a room you would have in your house rather than a bar. Plus a puppy club for $55 that includes a treat bag and annual pup party! You just gotta see it for yourself! read more

I tell ya what. This place is exactly as advertised. It is a taproom and only that. I went in for the first time expecting perhaps they'd have liquor. Perhaps they'd have food. Well they don't. They just have beer. But when I thought about it why would I expect they'd have all that other stuff if it's not advertised? So I enjoyed 2 or 3 of their awesome beers, all of which I believe are local, and enjoyed the company of their dog who goes around and visits patrons. Very good vibe here and a few TV's so I will go back when in the mood for craft beers. They have dozens of them. read more

Great selection of beers. Opens an hour earlier than other bars. Dog friendly. Human friendly.

Chill vibes, great beer and cider selection. Bottle shop and taproom. Dogs allowed. Welcoming and kind staff.

Located in a small strip mall in Renton/Benson Hill. We were surprised with that initially but this place had a great beer selection, especially if you like IPAs. More than half of the selection were IPAs. There were also quite a few beers that were available to purchase for take away. Easy to keep social distance as there are options to sit inside and outside. The outside is very dog friendly with a small grassy area, poop bags availability. It was also heated which made it more comfortable. read more

Being new residents of the Seattle area we are in a dire need to find some new local breweries, and this is one of them! So many choices, and all are delicious. Everyone will find something to their liking, and I think that makes this place a winner. The bar tender was a bit crass when we asked for samples. He just seemed to be upset that we didn't already know what we wanted, but ultimately ended up appeasing us. Other than that, our experience was short, but fulfilling. read more

I was up here for work and stopped in back to back days. This place is amazing! Huge, fresh and varied beer selection, awesome atmosphere, dog and kid friendly! If you are in the area, read no further and swing by! Appreciate you all making my time on the road better! read more

Man. This place always has an outstanding selection of beers. Brews that are hard to find in a bottle almost everywhere else, somehow end up on tap here. Staff is always friendly. Every time I'm in town I make sure to swing by and grab a pint. read more

We are new-ish to the area and love everything about this brewery and all the things it stands for. Chill, friendly, inclusive, and dog-friendly. I love getting drinks here with friends and ordering the pizza from next door (you can order online and they will walk it over here). Super thankful and happy this bar exists in the neighborhood. read more

As a cider lover, this place is a blessing. I really love the cider selections here, I don't find most of it in stores and otherwise won't be able to try if it weren't for this place. What's more important about the beloved ciders is what this establishment stands for; inclusivity and acceptance in the face of severe intolerance and backlash, the lovely owner and staff stands behind that statement completely and that's something I truly value about this establishment especially in this trying times. I rarely go to taprooms and bars (I prefer to drink at home and admittedly I'm more on the introverted/anxious spectrum socializing-wise) but they have a patron for life in me and more than happy to go out of my way to visit whenever I'm itching to try some epic locally-crafted ciders. read more

We drove out of our way to try The Brewmaster's Taproom and they were closed for a private event at 3:00 p.m. on a Saturday. We saw two other groups walk to the front door and have to turn around and leave in the short time we were there. We're not going back to a place that doesn't try to be open to the public on a weekend afternoon. read more

I feel like I practically live here. The owners are the absolute best and do whatever is in their power to make every experience a wonderful time. I feel like this place has also added to the community. I've been able to meet neighbors and make wonderful connections. When it comes to the beer side of things, this is a taproom and not a brewery. It features craft beer from all around the Pacific Northwest. If you're lucky, they'll even put on special beers for your birthday. Twenty taps feature everything from nonalcoholic root beer to pilsners, porters, goses, and ipas. There are also refrigerated cases containing bottles and cans you can take with you or drink at the bar. Ciders and sours are also available for those that don't often drink other styles along with red, white, and sparkling wine. I greatly enjoy the fact that they don't serve a full menu like restaurants and bars. Sara makes the best chili and changes the recipe seasonally. They've also recently introduced sandwiches! Also delicious. I should t forget the delicious soft pretzels. All made by hand. The Taproom also features select goods from the Brewmaster's Bakery. The chocolate chip scones and jalapeño cheddar sourdough bread are my favorite but, they also have delicious granolas, "drunk nuts," beer jelly, caramels, cookies and more. All bakery items are made with love, by hand, with fresh ingredients, and spent grain from local breweries. To make things even better, Marley (owner and baker) even makes dog treats! They do have many menus for places in the area that do carry out or delivery if you're in the mood for something of that sort. It's a great place to bring your kids. There are many board games and the atmosphere stays fairly family friendly. Dogs are also accepted with the random sighting of Poopus the famous cat. To stop my novel. I love this place. I love the people. I especially love the dogs. Come down anytime and I'll probably be here. read more

Cute fun place- definitely have been and only beer- no soda except root beer and also no food- advertises food but they had "run out" of food on Thursday and I was there on Sunday- so seems they were not interested in restocking but they do allow outside food- cool Place to hang out but seating isn't very comfortable and tables are bolted down- check it out for the beer but grab food before you go! read more

I have never felt more at home with a group of people or by myself at an establishment. The beer selection is off the hook, the ability to buy cbd items for your pets and support local businesses/farms is amazing! Brewmasters gets some negative press from the haters, but at the end of the day if you don't like an event that is going on, you simply don't have to participate. Thanks Marley for continuing to welcome all humans and dogs alike! read more
