Maritime Pacific Brewing Company is our small, family-owned brewery, established in 1990. As traditional home port to Northwest mariners, the Ballard district of Seattle provides us the perfect setting for a brewery with a seafaring name and tall ship as its emblem.

At Maritime Pacific, we brew truly handcrafted ales and lagers, enhancing traditional recipes to produce unique Northwest beers. Added to a fleet of year-round favorites are specialty seasonal beers, providing the enthusiast with an ever-changing choice of beverage to refresh the beer-drinking soul.

Our Jolly Roger Taproom offers Maritime Pacific brews along with our delicious, reasonably priced entrees designed especially to complement them. Kegs and bottles to go and a collection of logo wearables and gifts are also available for sale here.

Editorial Review for Jolly Roger Taproom – by Paul Fontana

The Scene
Pirate paraphernalia adorns the walls here, but an unlikelier scene for swashbuckling and plunder you'll be hard pressed to find. Brightly lit, non-smoking, and featuring a menu with mostly nutritious grub, the pub is practically wholesome. Unlike other area on-site brewpubs, though, the Jolly Roger doesn't feel like a mere marketing exercise; it's intimate and-especially when the old-fashioned stove warms a bone-chilling winter drizzle-rather cozy. Those who do wish to purchase officially licensed merchandise are accommodated, of course.

The Draw
Appropriately, the handicraft from the adjacent brewery is the highlight here. Fourteen taps of fresh beer are offered, including two or three cask-conditioned ales. Seasonal brews, most notably Jolly Roger, the popular and potent winter ale the pub was named after, are especially inviting.

Excellent beers on tap! And yes the mini-burgers are everything people say they are - delicious! i also had the mahi burgers which were also excellent. Some annoying drunk guys were next to us, but oh well, they can't always be avoided. I recommend this place if you want to try some good Northwestern Brews. It's a local hang out so be aware that means the vibe people bring may vary.

Pros: Great example of northwestern micro brews. Great food.

Cons: local spot - vibe can vary according to the crowd

This place is really disappointing. Sorry, but the waitress was extremely rude from beginning to end. I hate this place and I will never go back. I went a a whim, the waitress proved that it was a fail in every way. Worst experience ever. PS. The beer was good, but that hardly makes up everything else that sucked so badly. Please don't go here. You might want to be a pirate like I did, but this is not the place to do it.

Pros: Thumbs down

Cons: Rude rude rude service
