This place is not consistent and the food is very mid. Every time I've been here the food has come out differently. I don't know if there's a high turnoverrate in the kitchen or what... Today, the pizza crust was paper thin and the cheese was not fully melted. I also got wings which were terrible. The chicken tasted old and freezer burnt. The pepperoni on the pizza smelled "off" as well. I know it's cured meat but maybe it wasn't stored properly or just old, like the chicken wings. I wish I could go back in time and remind myself that I said that I wasn't going to eat here again. I would save myself some disappointment and $50! read more

Formula Brewing - Paper thin pizza and raw cheese. Like, what?? - Beer Gardens Near Me - Issaquah, Washington

Stopped in here on a slow, for us, Saturday night. Place was packed, sports on all the TV's, music thumping behind the bar. Quite the noise buzz in the room as folks were trying to have a conversation over the other conversations and music. It was all good, not too loud. The beer choice "Random Thoughts" was a solid choice. So good, we had 2. Thanks for continually making some very good beers. We stuck around long enough to get hungry. So, we did the usual and ordered the Wings, dry rub style, SOS (Sauce On Side). These were freshly prepared, and went down real quickly. read more

This is a great spot and the pizza is excellent, beer was good as well. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Parking in front is limited but there is more parking in the back. Parking in the back can be tricky as well depending on timing of the patrons at the businesses in the back. Lots of seating but it does get busy even on weekdays. read more

Best place ever for a union social gathering. Love the vibes here. I had two delicious beers. The cheese pizza is on point. I love that you can sit outside despite pouring rain. Heaters and tents make it super fun and inviting. The service is also always on point. Parking is super limited out front, but loads of parking in nearby buildings. Enjoy life and treat yourself! read more

Great casual place for pizza and beer. There is both inside and outdoor seating, and dogs are allowed outside. We ordered the honey pot and rain potato pizzas, which I definitely recommend for something a little different. The beer menu is sizable. read more

Took us awhile to make it here. Nice spot to grab a pizza and some drinks on a warm day. Like that it's kid friendly too. We ordered half pepperoni and half arcade supreme, extra crispy and double cut. The pizza was great. Plenty of toppings and the flavor was very good. The crust, sauce, cheese was also well balanced and flavorful. Definitely glad we went with extra crispy as it had just a little char on the bottom like we enjoy. We also ordered the wings. Those were pretty meh. We ordered them with the sauce on the side since the menu said there is a dry rub on them. Didn't taste any sort of dry rub and the chicken was pretty dried out. With the mango habanero sauce it was a little better, but didn't really help with the dry texture. Adults and kids didn't like them. Overall we'll be back as the pizza was very good and comparable in price to takeout pizza joints. It's also nice that the kids can just play around outside while waiting for the food. Good chill vibes here. We'll be back for just pizza and drinks. read more

Nice open brewery with a large amount of inside and outside seating. They have a a nice and good selection of beers. Their food is ok... we ordered a variety of different foods (salad, pizza, wings). It was all ok but could use a little work. Overall I with the nice size, being kid friendly, good beer and ok food, I would check this place out and will probably be back when in the immediate area read more

Pretty good pizza (i recommend the luxeroni) and big portions! Their wings had good seasoning. I liked their public ale beer - a nice amber color. There was plenty of space and service was pretty fast for how packed it was. Cool place for game days and large parties! read more

Easy location, great vibe, delicious beer and food. I had the chicken bacon ranch wrap which was hands down, the best wrap I have ever eaten! Staff were friendly and inviting and there were six flat screens with various games on. I had a hazy, Stare Longer, which was also great! Overall, such a cool spot. You will not be disappointed. read more

A solid brewery restaurant on the Eastside. Probably a 3.5 star for me. I rounded up for the great atmosphere/ambiance and awesome service. Before I get into the details, I wanted to note that they close super early. There were probably at least a hundred people inside when they were doing the last call at 9:30 (on a Friday!) Probably missing out a lot on the revenues but hey, maybe they already make enough money without the hustle. On weekdays, they close at 9pm. Their dark beers, imo, are too boozy. Their non-barrel-aged Chaos clocks in at over 12%. That's reaching Three Floyd's Dark Lord boozyness. Maybe it will be a great base for the barrel aged version but when served on its own, it is way too bitter and boozy. They had the Reconstructed Chaos on tap yesterday which is basically the regular Chaos rested on coffee beans. Aroma had a ton of coffee but the taste was just all booze and malt. It was okay but it could be better if they clock it down a little! Fremont's Dark Star, for instance, is a much better base beer than Formula Brewing's Chaos. With that said though, I would love to come back and try their Barrel aged version of the Chaos. I'd bet it would be phenomenal. Their hazy offering was pretty solid. They also had 2 other West coast style IPAs brewed dominantly with what appear to be Mosaic hops. While both were quire good, I wish the two were more different from each other. Both beers were basically the same except for one was slightly thinner and more carbonated than the other. I cannot remember all the names of the IPAs - I apologize! One of them was called Formula 27 and it was one of the West Coast style with mosaic hops (and it was good!) Pizza was okay! It kinda of had that "home-made" taste. Which could be a good thing. I am guessing they use clean and fresh ingredients. A bad way to say it is that it does not have much of a uniqueness. Pizza we got was called Smoke Show and the peppers really came through. If you can't handle spice, I suggest that you do not order this one. Family size is a 17 inch pie. It is probably big enough to feed 3 people or 2 very hungry adults/teens. Garlic Honey Hot wings were good! Not "hot" at all but it was nice and sweet. Next time, I will try the mango habanero. They have lots of TVs, a beautiful outdoor patio, and convenient parking lot right in front of the brewery. Staff were extremely friendly and they actually even remembered me when I went back to order more beer and then again to close out the tab. Recommended if you're in the area. Not quite at the level of destination worthy though imo. read more

After a long day of meetings, I brought the team to Formula Brewing for happy hour and it hit the spot. The pizza, wings, and huge pretzel were all awesome -- perfect comfort food. The beers were solid, and I even mixed it up with a cider, which was surprisingly good. The weather was perfect, so we sat outside and just relaxed. A great place to unwind with colleagues or friends. read more

Not sure why the ratings are so high. The pizzas were surprisingly bland. We did enjoy the artichoke dip appetizer though. The ambiance is probably fine for the audience, although not particularly well suited if you just want some good food. The mass bench seating seems to be common at breweries, but not loving it. Staff was friendly. read more

Came here for a pre wedding meet and greet. At the time, they were very busy so there was absolutely no parking! Keep that in mind if you're stopping by on a Friday or Saturday night. It's definitely walkable from the corner hotels (Hilton/Home Suites) Aside from the parking issue, this was a cool, fun spot to hang out. The food was good. Drinks were strong and tasty. Staff was all friendly and provided quick service. read more

The Pilsner was great; crisp, light, and hoppy, with a slight floral finish. So refreshing after a day in the sun. The service was quick and friendly. Outdoor seating area was relaxing despite some expected road noise from I90. The pizza was a delicious bar pie! The dough was pillowy with a nice crispy crust. The cheese was loaded on and had a great, creamy texture. The sauce was mildly sweet and oh so yummy! read more

Great family-friendly atmosphere and service with good beer options and delicious pizza!

Going big on this one! We just moved to Issaquah and of course the first thing I look up is breweries lol. This spot has become my go-to spot for good beer and pizza. They have a nice outdoor area and plenty of tables inside as well. It does get packed if a big game is on, but I've never had an issue finding a spot. Beer (4): They have a great selection. Drafts rotate but their staples are always good. Food (4): Their pizzas are pretty good. I could always use crispier crust, but they do a decent job. Major plus (for me)... since we just moved from SoCal, we needed a place to watch Chargers games. There's a large Chargers contingent here and they play their games (as long as it doesn't conflict with Seahawks of course)! So vibe is awesome. Staff is awesome. Couldn't be happier with this spot. read more

As someone who's not a huge fan of beer, I don't frequent beer gardens, however I gladly joined a group of eight for a social gathering one Wednesday evening. The atmosphere is super casual as guests can just grab a table and people can come and go as they please. While there is ample seating inside, I appreciated the large number of tables outside; we were lucky enough to get one that was covered. While the seating is comfortable enough, the area is pretty loud and I felt like I had to yell even when just talking to the person across from me. It seemed like the conversation was bouncing off of the tent above and there's also noise coming from the nearby freeway. For my drink of choice, I selected the PINEAPPLE RAIN SOUR (5.5% ABV) by Urban Family Brewing. I was debating whether to order one of their beers that are brewed in-house, but when I saw "pineapple", I was automatically swayed. I enjoyed my sour which had a subtle fruity flavor, but I wish I could taste the notes of vanilla as advertised in its description. They allow you to sample any of the options on tap, which you can order in 10 oz. or 16 oz. sizes. If you're seeking a non-alcoholic beverage, their lemonades seem really popular. Our group ordered a couple appetizers and three 16" pizzas which was more than enough food. + SPINACH ARTICHOKE DIP: A creamy mix of cream cheese, sour cream, spinach, artichokes, garlic, red onion and jalapeño. It came served with warm and chewy bread dippers which I believe were made from their pizza dough. They were sturdy and held up well to the rich dip which had a nice hint of heat. + FORMULA WINGS: 10 total wingettes and drumettes seasoned with the house dry rub and tossed in our choice of BBQ sauce. The wings were juicy and tender, and I enjoyed the smoky sweetness of the BBQ sauce. This is a solid appetizer. + VEGGIE PIZZA: A medley of artichokes, black olives, tomatoes, bell peppers, mushrooms and red onion covered the base of mozzarella cheese base. I appreciated the generous serving of toppings which were pretty evenly dispersed, and enjoyed the slight crunch of the bell peppers. I normally wouldn't opt for artichokes on my pizza, but since they were cut up into thinner pieces rather than in chunks, I barely noticed them. + BIG BOY PIZZA: A delicious combination of ham, sausage, pepperoni, beef, bacon and jalapeño. The menu stated this also included red onion, but I didn't taste that at all. Regardless, this was a delicious pizza that brought the heat! I loved the savory sausage crumbles especially. Both pizzas had a nice thin-ish crust that was also soft without being overly doughy. They were served piping hot and the cheese was so gooey. Although I didn't try the C-B-R (Chicken Bacon Ranch) PIZZA, it appeared to be a hit with the group. As a final note, there is limited parking in front of the building, so you can find extra space in the gravel lot that is around the corner. Overall, Formula Brewing is a great venue for an informal gathering, especially during the warmer months! read more

Great spot to enjoy a pizza and a brewski outdoors on a warm day with your dog. Tons of seating inside and out. Order at the counter and take a number. They have a nice selection of beers including a sour or two. Mostly pizzas for food but a couple other options as well. I got a small size hot honey pie which was served piping hot. It's cheesy and sloppy with fresh ingredients. It's definitely got a hefty kick to it too, a touch more than I was expecting but I was able to get it down. The heat hits a bit harder under the sun. Issaquah is a pricey area so your bill will add up quickly. A 4-slice pizza and pint of beer was already crossing $30. No table service, just sit down and eat, but the bartender was very helpful offering suggestions. They can be a bit slow bussing tables on a busy day. Easy parking right up front. Overall a good spot. read more

Formula Brewing - Hot honey personal - Beer Gardens Near Me - Issaquah, Washington

A solid brewery featuring a nice rotating selection of beers, with better than average pizza to boot. Formula Brewing is a great casual place to hang out with family. I have family that lives in Issaquah and this place has quietly become a go to spot whenever we visit. There are plenty of tables both indoors and outdoors, and I can always find a pour or two that I really enjoy. The pizza they serve here is legitimately tasty, especially the Honey Hot. I just wish there were a few more quality food items on their menu. So with a limited menu, this place is a brewery first, that happens to have some pretty good pizza. It's a great place to hang out and catch a game, and the weekend crowds are a testament to that. I just wonder what this place could be if they dished out some mean hot sandwiches like a meatball sub or a hot roast beef toasted in a pizza oven. Just saying. read more

It's about time I finally write a review for one of my most favorite places to eat and drink! I love pizza, and in my opinion the two best places to get pizza on the Eastside are Formula Brewing and Spark Pizza. However, we come here much more than Spark because it is the best value. The pizzas are huge and they are generous with the toppings. We especially love that they are dog friendly outside and have such a large outdoor seating area. I'm not super crazy about their beers but I will drink their IPAs. I usually prefer to get one of their cocktails. They make an amazing Whiskey Lemonade with homemade lemonade. It's just sooo good. And, they also have a Hot Toddy I like to get in the colder months. They have some great salad options as well. We tend to usually get the Caprese Salad. It's our favorite! Basically there is something for everyone here. The service is always friendly and surprisingly fast even when they are really busy. There's a reason they do really good business. Just go and find out for yourself! read more

I was so surprised how good the food and pizza was here... esp the hot honey pizza which I find myself thinking about from time to time. There is ample outdoor and indoor seating, parking is a bit tricky but there is a front and back lot, and staff is super patient and friendly, esp since I'm not a beer drinker and had no idea what I wanted. They were generous with explaining and letting me sample which was super nice! Would totally come back here again, especially for the pizza! read more

Food, Service and Ambiance. One of the few places that allow dogs (outside) and has fire pits/heaters.

Funny enough, there was not an option to do 1/2 stars, so since hubby said three and a half, and I said two and a half we went with three even! This is definitely a brew pub and not really my cuppa tea! However, it was a nice enough place if you're looking for this type of experience. The tap room is a combination of bright and dim lighting. The interior is industrial, and according to my hubby their beer was unique and very good. He had the, I Got Jokes, which is a fresh hopped pale lager. Since I'm allergic to hops this is not something that would entice me, even a wee bit. However, as I said, to himself the beer alone would have caused him to give a three and a half! The pizza according to my hubby was also unique and very good. As for me, it didn't suit my taste so much. However, as a fire cooked pizza it was loaded with lots of fresh veggies, and definitely wasn't "bad". As a chef, I tend to be a bit harder to please! The service was great and overall we were glad for having had the experience. read more

Beer tender was rude. Left my seat and tried to take my beer. Much better places in the area. Food prices were high, never ordered food.

My son & I went to lunch here, it was my first time and my son's 30th time (if not more) we ordered the pizza and a drink. The line to order went fast, and the pizza was good! There was plenty of seating outside and a live band playing. This is definitely a place to try! read more

To celebrate some belated birthdays came out with a friend on a Friday night. NOTE: parking is very tight unless you get lucky otherwise be prepared to park down the road on the side street or dirt and walk over. Other nights when we drive by it is not packed by on Friday nights and evenings this place is packed! We sat by the ordering line and it never stopped with people out the door most of the time. Tip1: They have Wifi password on bottom right of the menu They have indoor and outdoor seating and def would recommend maybe having a separate line for beers during busy times since it prevented us from ordering more drinks. They do close early 9pm and week days and 10pm on weekends def leaving a lot of $$$ off the table. As far as beers they do not have much if any competition on the east side. In this case the food is better than the beer IMO and if Fremont, Holy Mt, Fast Fashion or bottle Shops like Chucks or Beer junction came to this neck of the woods they would lose a lot of beer customers. For someone who drank a lot of craft beers and searched for them this would not be the go to place that said for the avg. beer drinker this place is has good beers. Hazy ipa was good (on the sweet side and light body compared to the ones I used prefer) and their dark beers smelled better than tasted and on the boozy side (12% alcohol and not barrel aged) The chicken wings are great would recommend the mango habanero and all the pizzas I've tried here have been exceptional so can't go wrong. Overall good ambiance and a good spot to hangout grab some drinks and food. They also have a lot of TV screens for sports games! Cheers read more

Really good tasting beer, with a nice grab and go fridge to take some good beer with you home.

The ambience is sporty, with both indoor and outdoor seating options. The outdoor area is perfect for sunny days! We tried the Hot Sauce Wings and paired them with a Classic Hazy IPA. The wings were generously sized and packed with flavor, and the chicken was incredibly tender. However, the hot sauce was a bit overpowering; having it on the side would have been a better choice. On a positive note, the beer was light, refreshing, and had a nice kick. Overall, it's a great spot for beer and wings! I'll definitely be back. Just a heads up: parking is limited and can be tough to find. It's best to visit during off-peak hours to avoid the hassle. read more

Definitely too many other places to go in Issaquah for good pizza and great customer service! The service here is less than zero and the only reason they got one star is because I had to put something down read more

Such a fun place! The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating, which are usually always packed and accordingly, it's a very loud dining experience. Beer selections are great and staff will let you try a bit if you're on the fence. Food and service are solid and it seems that this brewery is THE place for pizza night in the community (read: so many families!). In addition to pizza and beer, you'll find the usual suspects of appetizers, salads, etc. And although staff does go around bussing, there are stations to drop off your own dishes and to grab to-go boxes. If you don't find parking up front, there are a bunch of spaces around back; just follow the signs. read more

Small brewery with excellent pizza and a good tap selection. On this visit I was solo, so didn't want a whole pizza. Ordered a pretzel and a chicken Caesar salad. The salad was excellent with an abundance of chicken. Service was excellent. Register was quick and efficient. Floor workers were consistently checking with customers as food was delivered and tables cleaned. Would definitely come back. read more

Great brewery. You can't beat the gorgeous outdoor patio on a warm day with ample seating, space, and umbrellas to avoid a sunburn. The beer is fresh and tasty, and the food options are excellent. We've tried their meatball sandwich and a few pizzas and highly recommend all of them. The staff is friendly and helpful. The only downside (but also kind of a pro depending on your preference) is that dogs are not allowed inside. Totally understand this choice, but it does make it hard on cold and rainy days which come pretty often in Issaquah. read more
