Formula Brewing is a fantastic brewery and company. Hosted my high school reunion here last month and Ed, Danny, and team were on top of it! With no minimum amount or venue fee (just 20% auto gratuity), Formula was the easy choice to host a large event - plus they have plenty of parking in the back! The drink choices here are phenomenal- they have a large beer selection but they also serve cocktails, lemonade, slushies, and other non-alc drinks making it a family friendly place. My favorite was the Tieton Huckleberry Cider on tap! They also make their sourdough pizza in-house and have vegan options too. Service is fantastic and all bartenders and staff were super friendly and accommodating. They have lots of indoor and outdoor seating with plenty of tables and benches. Dogs are invited in the beer garden :) Thanks Ed, Danny, and Team for a wonderful and seamless reunion. Will definitely recommend and consider you for the next big event. Overall: 5/5 for drinks and food, 5/5 for service, 5/5 for atmosphere read more

Been here quite a few times it seems to be like a rotating menu. One of their main staples is beer and pizza. Good areas to sit inside good area to sit outside, depending on weather. Outside area does seem to be dog friendly. They were playing World Cup when I was there , this last time . I requested to go here for a Father's Day lunch. Service was fast and friendly. read more

Open indoor/outdoor seating! Staff was friendly and welcoming! Beer was good nothing too special. Pizza was decent. A bit doughy for me.. the pizzas around us didn't look "doughy" tho.. but the sauce, cheese, and peps were ! The wings looked super good but they were under seasoned and a bit dry. Overall we had a decent dinner. read more

Excellent pizzas! And they offer personal size which for me means leftovers. Yassss. Always friendly service too. The personal size pizza had a thicker crust than the family size. But super delicious. Crispy outside and soft and chewy inside. The veggies were Cherry tomatoes, artichokes, mushrooms and peppers. Maybe a few more that I forgot. Not too cheesy and not too saucy. Just right! I had a yummy fruity wheat beer. Just the right about of sweetness and not too filling. Sometimes a wheat beer can be heavy. The environment here is always super fun too! A huge outdoor space and televisions on the inside of you want to watch sports or whatever they are showing. The music is pumping and it's a super fun place. The small parking lot is tiny. Not to worry, go down the street a bit. Take a short walk. Cheers! SYOY! read more

A fun place to watch the World Cup since most bars in Issaquah don't really care about soccer and attract boring family demographics. I don't drink much beer but they do some limited cocktail options, and the service was very friendly and high quality despite the place being packed for the World Cup crowd. read more

Fantastic place for the family or just to grab a beer with friends! I love their pizzas and you can't go wrong with any of the beers they have on tap. An Issaquah favorite! read more

First, I will say that overall I would definitely go back; the next time I KNOW what to change about our order! First, the food was good: the chicken was the best out of everything we ordered - garlic honey wings with enough for four people to share! Honestly, we didn't need the salad, and it wasn't anything - just some romaine & croutons with dressing on the side - i guess I expected a little more for a Caesar salad. The pizza was good, and props for offering half and half option! But DEFINITELY order the pizza EXTRA CRISPY, because we didn't, so the crust was "just okay", even a little bit soggy for my taste. The people were GREAT; it's absolutely worth going back for how friendly and nice they were, keeping it clean even if you have to go up and order at the counter first: NOTE: they need to update the beer menu on the QR because it doesn't match what's available so we had to go back to the table a few times to get it right. Good TV monitors so it's a good sports bar; I wonder if there are multiple games on (like baseball or Sunday, if they will play multiple sports? It was obviously FIFA, and everyone was watching, but what if there are other types of fans? Hopefully they take that into consideration. It's a good, well lit, spacious place and I'd be happy to go again. read more

Went here the past weekend. The beer list wasn't very long, but they had cocktails and other options that were delicious as well. Got a pizza that arrived quickly. Tons of seating inside and outside. Very dog and family friendly. Lots of pups on the patio. Kind of odd location right by the freeway but it's nice and with the music going can't even hear the highway. Would be great for groups or friend get together. read more

Great great brewery with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and a great vibe overall. 5/5 for the drinks Plenty of options of drinks 5/5 for the wings We had try 3 flavors; and they were all delicious. The wings are fall of the bones which just so soooo good. 5/5 for their pizzas Probably one of the best pizza ive had; good size; plenty of topping to choose from. Its great. 10/5 for it being across the creek from our home! Our dog walks is turning into a walk to the brewery. Lol The staffs are so friendly and helpful as well. read more

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

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

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

Really don't understand the food ordering cutoff time of one hour before closing. Who does that? The timing also changes from visit to visit when that cutoff is -- it used to be 45 minutes before closing but most recently it's over an hour before closing. read more

Formula Brewing - Honey Hot Pizza - delicious - Beer Gardens Near Me - Issaquah, Washington

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

It's been a hot minute since we have eaten in so this review is for the pizza and dip we've ordered a couple times recently for takeout. We have placed the same order of a pizza (1/2 luxeroni and 1/2 arcade supreme) + the artichoke dip which comes with grilled bread. The pizza is fantastic and holds up well even after a 7ish min car-ride. The pizza crust is the perfect thickness (slightly more substantial than thin) and tastes great the next day too (air fry it!). We are combo pizza topping lovers so can't ever go wrong with the supreme but we have also loved the luxeroni which has a slight kick. The artichoke dip is what Pete the Cat would say is "groovy" and "out of this world". I haven't had anything like it before and it is definitely a favorite. It's pricier than ordering from a chain but worth it to us. 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

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

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

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

Not sure why the ratings are so high. The pizzas were surprisingly bland. We did enjoy the artichoke dip appetizer though.

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
