Neither of us had been here before, so we didn't know it was part of a shopping plaza. The plaza was extra busy due to a local shopping event with lots of vendor booths and live music. Fortunately we were able to find parking in the parking garage. The taproom is located on the second floor overlooking the center of the plaza. The line at the counter to order beer was long but moved pretty quickly. They said they were running behind due to how busy it was, so trivia would start a little late. So we grabbed drinks and played a board game. For trivia, you enter online and submit your answers there too. The host posted his questions on the TV screens, and at the end of each round he posted all of the questions again. There were themes for 3 rounds, and the rest were general. We did not do well, but we had fun and learned some fun facts! They also served some bar food there, but we had just come from dinner so we didn't try anything. It looked good though.

I really like this spot and have been a fan of theirs for a long time. I've actually been going to…read morethis brewery since back when they were located right along the Cross Kirkland Corridor bike trail, and I've followed them to their newer, modern setup up at Kirkland Urban. The beers here are always great. For food, they have a nice setup where they serve up some good, tasty items sourced from other local companies that they heat up right there for you. It's a solid, straightforward menu that pairs perfectly with a fresh pint. The location itself is excellent, featuring massive windows that let in a ton of beautiful sunlight, alongside a really nice indoor and outdoor space. That said, I feel like the place has so much untapped potential. It's tucked up on the upper level of the plaza, which might be why it feels a bit hidden, but it often isn't as busy as other nearby spots. I really think they need to do something a bit different to draw people in and make the local community want to gather and hang out here, whether that's events or a shift in the overall vibe. I definitely recommend checking this place out if you are in the area! The space is beautiful, the drinks are great, and it's a wonderful local brewery that deserves a lot more feet through the door.

She really knew the beers and was excellent as making recommendations (including mixing two of them together, which wound up being my fav). Great group of locals. Chill and casual vibe.

Updating my review for this excellent sushi bar and tap room…read more As of 1/2/26, they have a new menu, a new sushi bar inside, and they're now open all weekend. They were previously closed on Sunday, but they're now open on Sunday and closed on Monday. When you come, ask for the "Jeremy Special" which is their Spicy Tuna and Crispy Rice but with avocado added on the side. So tasty! Also, my review below from while ago is still accurate. The food is some of the best sushi in the area and the best beer in town since the owner consults with other beer experts on the selection - which are many of their regulars (you can find their current tap list on Untapped)! And, it's female owned with great staff!

This is a cool brewery-sushi bar hybrid in Kirkland!…read more We ordered a bunch of lychee martinis and a mango margarita - they were great. The sushi was decent quality and good! We ordered some apps, a bunch of sushi rolls and some sashimi. The staff were polite and let us stay past closing before gently letting us know we had to leave.

So disappointing, this is nothing like the old days Black Raven. The bar staff was completely rude,…read morea tall gal with brown hair and shorter guy with blackish hair. They have major attitudes, and show it on their face! Not friendly at all!! Their beers weren't all that great at all. This is more a family orientated bar than anything with a kid gaming area and pinball machines. Young kids were still in there at 9pm, running around and yelling. We will not return and staff needs an attitude adjustment.

Great choices here!…read more They have small plates of food as well. I loved that they went with a dark, woody vibe and followed the theme of their name. We got a flight with five flavors and enjoyed all of them! They have a great selection to choose from, with sours, Pilsner's, IPA's and more. I really enjoyed the kitty Kat beer with the blueberry flavor! They also have ciders for those who are not interested in beer

Great place! Very fun environment, with amazing waitstaff and bartenders…read more It's rare to have a place that you can't think of any negatives. Food is very good, with plenty of menu options. I've been 3x since my first vist less than 2 months ago.

This is a solid brewery with great food and beer options. We met up with a friend after work at…read moreBellevue Brewing and were delighted to see several great food and drink options available. We tried the trio chips and salsa and couple of their beers. We ordered the house made corn chips served with a side house made spicy salsa, guacamole and beer cheese. The chips were nice and hot and generous portions. However, I think they could have been priced cheaper instead of $18. The drink variety was pretty solid and consisted of beers, cocktails, and seltzers. We tried their Lazy Lotus Hazy IPA that had Big notes of lemon rind up front that melded into soft orange sweetness. The finish was a dry herbal bitterness. Bellevue Brewing company is a solid choice for after work drinks and snacks.

I found the flagship beer of theirs (Leafcutter) to be my favorite of the 2 I tried (I also tried the Field Trial Lager style). I will have to return for more tastings later! Great location with lots of parking and room to walk around with a nice front room and great staff.

We tried literally every pie and they were all so good. My favorites were the white sauce and the pear. The garlic "knots" weren't my favorite (too bread-y and not enough garlic) but the salads were sleeper hits! We got our pizza to go and they were so hot and fresh when we got there to pick them up. Highly recommend!

My friend got The Butcher, and I got the Nonna, and both were really tasty. Service was fast, which made it great for a quick work lunch, but the space also feels nice enough for dinner or a casual outing. There's plenty of seating, including a really nice outdoor area in the back. The servers were all friendly, especially Jhoselyn, who was wonderful. Yes, it's a brewery, but the food absolutely stands on its own. Definitely a new go-to spot.
