All the…read moreoutdoor tables were full when we arrived at 6, so we put our name on the list for inside and waited about 30 minutes. The oysters were the main draw for me, and they were totally worth the visit. Old Stove serves them with a savory watermelon sauce in addition to a traditional cocktail sauce--eaten together, it's a flavor explosion that I can't quite describe. We also enjoyed the garlic everything fries, which were delicious! We just had to try a flight to sample the brews. There are some really good beers available here, especially the Belgian blonde, citra pale ale, and the stout. I did not really care for the seasonal sour (grapefruit, I think)--to me, it just tasted like a sour and nothing more, but someone with more interest in sour beers would probably enjoy it just fine. Despite the busy night, our server checked on us regularly and was very personable, stopping to chat with us about the local sports scene. There's plenty to look at, inside and out. If you can snag a seat outside, you'll get to enjoy the waterfront. Inside, the decor is industrial but fun. Not sure if this runs all the time, but when we were there, the tvs were playing vintage beer ads, which was quite fun. They also sell some pretty good t-shirt designs. Overall, Old Stove Brewing is the perfect combo of good location, good food, and good beer. Definitely recommend a visit when in the Pike Place area!

Smattering variety of beer (1-2 offerings per "kind" of beer, non-alc included), so I'd say this place is more for vibes and location, rather beer-focused. That being said, the vibes were good! Random barrels and umbrellas, as well as maybe 10 or so picnic tables across the two outdoor patios (dog-friendly). Saw they also have private event space off to the side. Plenty of indoor seating as well.

Fried onion rings were crispy and good, and korean chicken bites were a bit too sweet but goes well with a milkshake LOL Good for large groups, but it's hard to get a table when the sun is out bc it gets that busy. Very social ambiance. Service was quick and efficient- you order and get the drinks, but they bring the food out to you.

The venue was large and delivered the view of the lake on a platter (but that is Seattle). The vibe was lively -- loud blasting music and a ton of people. But...not worth the excessive 45 minute wait after being in line for 15 min. We ordered right after our friends and while I sampled 2 tastes of beer, that took all of 2 min Our almost identical order to theirs came out 20-30 min after theirs. We went up 3 times to check where it was, because the first time (at least 20 min after our friends got their order) the guy told us it was 2 tickets away. More like 20 tickets since we watched order after order being delivered elsewhere... not ours. My husband went up for the second time and never got an answer. And so I went up a third time and was livid as another half dozen+++ orders went by. The frustrating thing is we paid up front and left a 20% tip on the worst food service ever. We have learned our lesson and won't do that again. Recognize it's not just the server it's the entire service...from what happened to our ticket, our food prep and delivery to our table? I doubt I'll make the effort to go back. Because I can pay the same $59 (2 single patty burgers, 2 beers, 1 fries, 1 onion rings) for similar or better food, fantastic views with much better service. Also, they knew but did nothing to make our experience better.

Can't believe I have not been here before until yesterday!…read more This is a sister business to Masonry (which is right next door). I have been told by many that they make the best Hazy IPA in Washington! And I agree. Their hazy offerings are very similar to Monkish (who imo makes the best in the nation - or at a minimum, amongst the very best). We got to try 3 different beers in this style - Zen Filmmaking, Little League Home Run, and self Expression. All amazing but my favorite had to be Little League Home Run. I could not believe it was only 5.5% ABV. It packed so much flavor from Double Dry Hopping with an incredible mouth feel. What surprised me yesterday the most though is that they also brew other styles extremely well. Spring Break (their coffee stout brewed with Boon Boona Roastery coffee beans was phenomenal. Roll Call (Imperiod Stout with Cinnamon) is great as it is now but I think it has potential for even more greatness. If this beer ever gets the barrel treatment, I will be purchasing multiple bottles for the cellar. Service is top notch. Sample pours were provided on every beer with detailed information and explanations. Xu (Taproom manager/sales) is a true asset to the brewery. She is knowledgeable, friendly, and enthusiastic. The venue was not too big but it didn't feel small or anything. They have a large screen TV (they were showing the Mariners game) and they have an underground parking garage, which is super convenient and free! Very dog friendly too - in fact, there were about five dogs hanging out when we were visiting. This could be a good or bad thing for different folks but just letting you guys know that there will likely be dogs of all size when you visit. They offer what Xu calls Tavern Style pizza. They also allow outside food. Masonry next door is a full-service restaurant. So you won't need to worry too much about food. Highly recommended. I will also be checking out their SODO location soon.

Boy were we disappointed by the taproom. It seemed chaotic in the taproom because there were a lot of dirty glasses all behind the bar and on the bar top. It seemed slow when we got there. There was a birthday party but it seemed like they were just doing their own thing. It also seemed like the bartenders mom(?) was hanging out playing music on her laptop. Which was weird because the taprooms music was playing as well so it was interesting to listen to. Overall, we'd go check it out again to give it another try but maybe we'll just stick to masonry/to-go cans next time we want fast fashion beer.

It's the kind of spot where the soundtrack feels curated just right, the lighting keeps things fresh and welcoming, and every corner feels like it's part of the party. Ohhhhh and every third Saturday, the brewery has a DJ in the evening. It's AWESOME. Social buzz, great beer and dancing, hanging out with friends, and I just love soaking in atmospheres like this. Which for me I find it hard to find a gem like this in Seattle. I mean this is what I am looking for in my mid 30's a little bit of slow house music, Otis Redding vibes, and I hope they mix in some European easy house music or electronic jazz house music in the evenings or weekends :) This place hits the sweet spot between casual comfort and polished energy. Next time I visit I'll have to post of pics of the social rooms but the whole venue is open to lounge. They are open 7 days a week.
