A Seattle tradition, this family-owned brewery and pub is a destination for tourists and locals alike. Their colorfully named beers (made with local ingredients whenever possible) cover all the bases, with something for every palate, from the Naughty Nelly, a light mild ale, to the IPA and Scotch-style Kilt Lifter. The industrial-inspired restaurant is filled with an eclectic array of beer paraphernalia showcasing the popular history of beer in the last century through barrels, boxes and advertisements from around the world. The food is better than average and includes an impressive selection…
Editor's Tips
- When to Go:
- Pike will validate parking after 5pm on weekdays and all day on weekends from the Chase Center Garage at First and Union. Or if you don’t mind driving around the block or parking a few streets away, after 6pm most street parking is free.
- Know Before You Go:
- Reservations are a good idea for larger parties as Pike can become busy, especially on weekend evenings.
DOUBLE IPA OR THE XXXXX STOUT

BEST BEER IN SEATTLE!. the Pike Brewery is awesome if you like great beer and excellent local food!... Family owned... they use local sustainable food (try the Wild Spicy Salmon). They have a gravity flow brewery system (ask for a FREE tour of the brewery, or call ahead and set up a FREE tour for your party).... Huge place (you can reserve a party for more than 20 people for the same day you call).... TVs to watch a game... I love taking my friends and family here .... great place for tourists and locals alike!!!
Great beer, food and atmosphere

Stopped by Pike Brewing last weekend for lunch. Fun place to grab a burger and try a few beers. It does get crowded because it is so popular so be prepared. They do have a lot of seating so they can handle big crowds. Try a kilt lifter beer and live it up!
Nothing Special

My wife and I visited this place today for happy hour. To be fair, we did not get past the somewhat inhospitable bartender (or whatever you call the guy who works behind the bar in today's PC society). I asked simply, what he had on tap that was the closest thing to a lager.....
...and was somewhat curtly informed that "This is an ale house..." Funny thing is that the name of the brewery says nothing about ale: The Pike Place Brewing Company could in fact brew lager. He was courteous enough to slap the menu down on the bar in front of me before walking away. Needless to say, we walked away after that treatment. The place was loud and crowded, so that can't be a bad sign. But this place did have a whiff of "biker bar" about it (if that's your scene).
Anyway that may not be a fair review, since we didn't have the chance to taste their beer or food. Chance it if you must. But as a local (of 6, almost 7 years) I can say there are better places to eat and drink in Seattle; especially if hospitality is a consideration.
Make mine a Pike's stout please.

Now that the Pyramid is owned by Magic Hat on the East Coast you will see me at the Pike Brewery a lot more often. Great beer and good friends make this place a winner.
- Pros: Locally owned, great beer
- Cons: Parking
