    Flying Lion is a nice community spot where you can enjoy drinks with your friends. The beer is great, vibes are even better, and this is a no-tip spot as they pay their employees living wages. They have seating inside and in the outdoor patio, where they're always featuring cute plants. As with a lot of bars in this area, they don't serve food, but you are allowed oto bring your own. Their merch seems to be nice quality as well.

    One of the best breweries here in Seattle. I wonder why it took me so long to explore this brewery here on Rainier Ave. we stopped by on a Friday evening with 8 other friends and were luck to get a table here. We loved their Levitator Doppleback, Sunday Gold Lager, Sour cherry Asian Perry, Belgian Quaddammit. Thats all we ordered but my friends loved everything they ordered too. The brewery is small and cozy. There is some outdoor seating and some indoor space. This place is hustling with people especially on weekends. We loved the vibe and coupled with great beers this is a perfect place to enjoy and welcome the weekend or any weekday I am certain. They are dog and kids friendly. They dont have a kitchen but you can bring your own food or order in from restos near by. Parking can be a pain but you will find street parking for sure. All in all I will be back here for more and frequent enough.

    cheers

    well crafted and curated atmosphere. delicious Velvet Uppercut Belgian Strong and Express Lane Blood Orange Red IPA. fun space!

    Menu from 03/04/2022 and our eight 5 fl oz flight for $19

    Pros: great brews, cool atmosphere, friendly bartender, clean, awesome music, plenty parking Cons: small so limited seating

    Top 5 brewery in Seattle area, no joke. This place has only been around for 8 years, but they know exactly what they are doing. The taps..spectacular. They have something for everyone...dark unique porters/stouts, Juicy IPAS, and Visiting Ciders. And the vibe is exactly what I look for in a local brewery. Not big and in your face, but still makes enough of a statement from the seating around the kegs inside, to the barrel seating under the heaters outside, to the super welcoming enjoyable staff. LOVE IT! Pro tip: the Kenyan restaurant right next door is LIT! The food is amazing on its own, but the fact that you can order and they will bring it to you at the brewery...nothing better! Good food + good beer. It's done. Another great benefit is that this location seems heavy in the downtown Columbia City area, but there is a parking lot for the brewery which is great! Don't stress about paying for parking like we did!

    This place has a fantastic selection of delicious beers of many styles. Highly recommend for anyone who likes dark beers, Belgians, etc.

    First off, I appreciate that Flying Lion stays open late! Some breweries close around 10, but Fl is open until midnight. Their menu has a nice variety of beers, including sours and IPAs and lots more. There's something for everyone here! Not huge at all, but they have nice outdoor seating with comfortable bar stools and hooks to hang your purse or bag (and lots of counter space!) Beertenders are friendly and attentive. Like many breweries, they allow food, so I recommend grabbing dinner next door at Safari Njema (amazing Kenyan food)--they will bring the food right over to you so you can enjoy it with your beer. Just make sure to call early since they get VERY busy. Cheers!

    Roggen!

    Took home a growler of the imperial rye stout and have been enjoying it before and after dinner. An excellent 'big' beer.

    Came in on a Friday night and learned that Old Stove Brewing gets busy for a reason! 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!

They gave us these post cards to write down our individual drinks. FYI - this place requires using your smart phone to scan a QR code for the menu. We ordered 2 apps (salmon dip with pita chips & chips and cheese dip) I ordered fish and chips. Buddy got the meat loaf. Our beer showed up quick. Waiter always checked on us often. Our apps showed up and they were both delicious. Then 5 minutes later our main dish orders showed up. Wasn't too happy with that because we wasted time to taste our beers and snack on the apps. They need to work on their timing. Need at least 10 minutes in between the beer and apps. The food overall is admittedly top notch. Fish and chips FRESH! The fish was juicy and the fried crust was perfection. Pieces were large. They will ask if you want 3 or 4. 3 is enough. If they can work on timing the drinks and food this place would be a 5 out 5, but will deduct a star because of that. The overall vibe of the place was nice. Huge layout with wooden picnic style tables. Outdoor tables if you're lucky to get one. Large tanks to brew beer surrounding the room and a merch table.

    I've reviewed a lot of breweries, and Fremont Brewing did not disappoint!…read more This cool spot has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. A truly legit outdoor space! They are kid and dog-friendly, too. We ordered an NA IPA (which they have on tap!) and their hop water (comes in a can). Both beverages were absolutely delicious. I love that this place is NA-friendly. They offer some light snacks and free pretzels, which is awesome for a brewery without a kitchen. There is a food truck on site, but it was closed when we visited. No worries, though, you can bring outside food, which is perfect since there are plenty of great restaurants in the area. I asked the bartender if they brew at this location, and he said they've moved all brewing to a different location in Seattle, but it's still super fresh and tasty beer all around. This is a spot worth visiting in Seattle or getting together with a large group for a few drinks. Plenty of choices for everyone!

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.
