Carly Viup here. I work in hospitality and have a Korean boyfriend so I know a thing or two about great service and quality restaurants. This place did not disappoint. I drove my Honda here on a Sunday to watch the Seahawks. Thankfully they had TVs. I had 4 beers and a glass of Sav Blanc before I ordered. The service was so attentive I felt like I became close with my server, B. I asked what she recommended and she said Chili, the cheese burger, the fries, the nachos, and grilled cheese. I decided to order everything and it was amazing. The chili though...I haven't felt that much pleasure since eating at a Michelin star restaurant in Hong Kong with my friend Naomi Tanaka after her divorce. I ended up having a few more beers and a slice of cake. Boy was I full. I love it here. The ambiance was quaint, service was incredible, the woodwork was nice, and it felt like a great neighborhood vibe. I'll buy a house someday and hopefully it's in Beacon Hill so I can eat here everyday. Thanks Perihelion! -Viup Chilli read more

Perihelion Brewery - Me at restaurant - Burgers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

The food and drink here is good but the service is really lacking. The few times we've been here we wait around 30-45mins to order food and to get the bill. One time we were waiting nearly an hour before we got served and we literally couldn't get any other servers that were there to even wave someone down for us. There's also a 22% mandatory service charge which is a bit high for a brewery. read more

Stopped by for brunch during a weekend visit to Seattle. There was plenty of seating inside and outside. There were also tables either tabletop fire pits available both inside and outside. Staff were super friendly and quick to take our orders. Lots of beer on tap as well as cocktails! I had the basil mimosa which was so refreshing! My friends had the New Years flight and told me the beers were good. I had the brisket sandwich which was pretty standard; it is quite large so definitely something that can be shared. It comes with a side of pickled vegetables that I really enjoyed! We ordered an extra side of curly fries-- crispy and fried to perfection. All of the food options are large portions (especially the Mac and cheese). read more

Came for the trivia because that's my new thing...got the featured flight- golden girls which includes Basil Saison - Blanche, Pink Guava Saison - Rose, Summer Kolsch - Dorothy, Belgian Golden, Pilsner - Ma all brewed here. I'm not a big beer person but my partner is and I definitely knew that 5 5oz beers was gonna do me in but hey, it's a Wednesday and why not. Interior is a cool vibe, bright, spacious and smells amazing. Service is friendly! read more

Solid place! Stopped by here for brunch on a Sunday afternoon. Got seated outside on a nice sunny day. Can't say much for the interior's ambiance since we sat outside. Service was decent. Food came out decently quickly and our server didn't check up on us much. Food was hit or miss. The perihelion burger was amazing! Hands down one of the best burgers I've ever had, if not THE best. Super flavorful, juicy. The ramen was alright. The flavor wasn't particularly my favorite. Drinks are good. I'd come back for the burger and drinks, not so much for the ramen. read more

Review #1005 -- Super food. Fun outside seating awesome spot in Beacon Hill. lots of beer options. The burgers looked great, fried baskets kinda called to me too but we went with the super chill and tasty watermelon salad and brussels sprouts starters and I had the spicy chicken sandwich because why the heck not. Did not disappoint. Street parking on the Hill can be dicey but it was manageable on this evening. read more

A corner neighbor bar of your dreams. With the outdoors twinkling lights wrapped around trees and surrounding the building- it is bustling but not loud. Wrap around indoors and outdoor seating. I stopped in for a glass of wine and was surprised by the generous pour. They are truly aiming to out the "happy" in happy hour. read more

If you haven't been to Beacon Hill then you must be living under a rock! This place has been hopping for a while now and sure the top notch drink and beer selections are what you go here for it's the food that's next level good. They never skimp and for starters get the crispy fried Brussels sprouts that are mixed with red onions, "yes" craisins with garlic salt and a smoky chile aioli. Other must haves are the sweet potato fries, mole negro nachos and the Mac & cheese mixed with Beechers Flagship cheddar cheese. For mains we got the Beacon Burger and make sure to add the aioli awesome sauce! On a previous trip we had the grilled pork bahn mi sandwich too. Don't forget to grab a wide range of the deelish desserts before you leave. The interior wood design is unique and they've also god heated outdoor seating areas as well. Our server was great and paid attention to our needs despite being slammed at the peak dinner hour on the Friday night we were there. So get out from under that rock and head to this must go to spot in Sea-Town! read more

Arrived on a Sunday evening and was promptly seated. The space was essentially full, and the vibes were good! It was slightly hard to get the attention of the waitress, but once we put in our order, everything went smoothly. Fries: garlicky and layered, served with three dipping sauces. Bleu cheese burger: wasn't overwhelming with the bleu cheese flavor and the patty was juicy. I loved all the components that was in the burger! read more

We arrived around 6:30 PM on a Saturday. The restaurant was busy, but we were seated after a short five-minute wait. The staff was incredibly friendly, and the atmosphere was great. I especially appreciated the open kitchen and the bonfire at one of the tables. We enjoyed the sweet potato fries, which came with three kinds of sauces! The beers were delicious. Parking was street parking, but there was a nearby supermarket lot where you could park for an hour if you made a purchase. read more

I've never quoted song lyrics for a review before but I thought this was fitting. As a lifelong music lover this came to mind as my expectations were greatly exceeded. From Tower of Power - Time Will Tell. "It's a rare occasion When your plans and expectations Come down just exactly how you planned them Hey, life's just that way" We hit up Perihelion last night mostly for the music (there's live music every Tuesday) and to hang out with friends and of course BEERS! :) I'd heard the food was really good but the Rueben from last night was the best I'd ever had. Outstanding. The staff was great, the music was killin' and naturally the beers were great. Expectations exceeded. We'll be back for sure. read more

Perihelion was an excellent experience. The staff was very friendly. Craft beers were great. Their food menu has a good selection. The food was delicious. Great spot for meeting family and friends. Highly recommend. read more

Best fries in the city I've had so far - they are perfectly crispy, salty, and have delicious sauces to dip them in. I also tried the burger which was good as well, pretty similar to a home cooked burger taste. I will have to come back another time for some more fries and to try their beer! read more

We never had bone marrow before and when we were walking by and saw the menu outside that's what drew us in. All we stopped in for was the bone marrow so keep in mind we didn't try anything else haha. The mushrooms and onions were super tasty and it was great to eat everything on bread. The bone marrow itself didn't have much flavor but it was interesting and am definitely happy I tried it! Overall the service was nice and I enjoyed the outdoor seating as well. read more

Stopped in on a Thursday evening shortly after they opened for a nice solo dinner before heading into traffic and had a great time and good food. I sat facing the street across from the bar to people watch and noticed they have a To-go window for walk up orders, love that for the neighborhood folks! Note, you can also order beer to-go at the window I ordered Gochujung wings & a side of fries. The fries came out pipping hot first and I burned my tongue twice before my greedy spirit was willing to wait for them to cool a bit. The wings came out shortly after and paired perfectly with the fries. I had no room left for dessert but the cakes looked delicious and they had the fall flavor of pumpkin cheesecake tart. I was there for just under an hour and whew it got busy, this place is popular for a reason, quality food and great beer. read more

Food wasn't good, tortellini undercooked, and the food was brought out not all at once. I was done with my burger before the rest of my party got their food as well. Typically, with subpar service like this, I wouldn't leave a good tip, but they have a fixed 22% service charge. It's a cart blanche to provide subpar service. The level of entitlement at restaurants is off the hook. read more

The food is fantastic and the servers are so nice. Ordered the bang bang shrimp, crab cakes, and gochujang wings. Not a crumb left uneaten. As a true Marylander, I am a crab cake snob. While I'm usually disappointed, I tend to try crab cakes anyway and attempt to temper my expectations. The crab cake was pleasantly surprising with very strong citrus notes and minimum filler. The atmosphere was chill and I appreciated the fall decor they put up outside to accommodate guest who choose to take advantage of the sun warmish weather. All this to say, we will definitely add this brewery to our regular rotation when we need a break from meal preps read more

Perihelion Brewery - Bang bang shrimp and gochujang wings - Burgers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Perihelion is one of our favorite breweries! The atmosphere is really cozy, they have both indoor and outdoor seating. They don't take reservations and they can get busy but it's still a go-to spot we like to go either for date night, taking out of town friends/family, or meeting up with friends. Everything I've had on their menu is really delicious. I especially like the Beacon burger and their regular fries or sweet potato fries! Of course they have a great variety of beers and wine on tap and in bottles. They also have some fun non-alcoholic drinks too! They feature some rotating seasonal (food) specials which always look fun, interesting, and creative. read more

Always enjoyed this venue but had a disappointing experience. The speciality sandwich was mushy and when we advised the server that a menu specified item was missing from it she blamed it being new to the cook. Server disappeared for a long time and we would have ordered more drinks but we gave up waiting. The bill was very steep for 2 mediocre sandwiches and 2 beers. read more

One of my favorite restaurants in the area! I've been here 3 times and have always been impressed by their food. My go-to is their vegetarian sandwich (Linda's special?) which comes with butternut squash, mushrooms, pickled red onions, greens, all topped with truffle sauce. I've gotten this 2x and have loved it every time :) I got their blackened salmon sandwich this time around and the fish was super good- very tender and flakey with a good charred flavor! Their fries are my favorite- I must get these everytime. I normally get half sweet and half regular fries but opted for all regular fries this time. It's $9 for a huge portion that's easily split between 2-3 people. Comes with 2 yummy aioli's (I believe it's a bone marrow and a red pepper?). Restaurant itself is very indoor/outdoor feel with open windows and doors and lots of natural light! Lots of outdoor space, dog friendly. Service is great and the staff are super nice. Would recommend! read more

Came for dinner and drinks on a busy Friday night and it was great! We luckily found a table outside even though it was very busy. The portions were large and the food was delicious! We got some sides to share, my favorite being the wings! There is always a great choice of beers and the Froze is a favorite. The staff were all very friendly and nice even though it was during the Friday night rush! This is always a good spot for casual drinks and dinner with friends. read more

What a great spot! Very quintessential Seattle. Food: everything we had was great, from the apps to burgers and fries to ice cream bars (they're huge!). The stuffed peppers special was smaller than expected but hit the spot. We snacked on fries (VERY yummy) and bang bang shrimp before even ordering burgers. I had to take half my burger to go because it was just so. much. food. Service: Great! Everyone is kind of running around like the kitchen is on fire (it was a busy Friday night), but everyone was so accommodating that I almost felt like I was back living in South America. Ambiance: Very Seattle. Lots of hi-top seating and the outside was very popular, too, even on a cold night. It seems the main kitchen is downstairs but there is some food prep going on in the middle of the dining room, too. Decent sound proofing--I caught most of what my dining companions had to say! read more

Walked by there a couple of times, but Perihelion is a cozy local Brewery dishing out some fantastic eats with a cozy atmosphere. On chili days your welcome to warm up outside by one of the fire pits that are crackling on the patio. Not only do they brew their own beer but they're also making some delicious eats. What we ordered: Beacon Burger $14 BBQ Brisket Sandwich $14 Sweet Potato Fries $8 The burgers/sandwiches don't come with the side so we ordered it separately. And WOW, finally did they give us a load of sweet potato fries. Love how they weren't stingy with the portion sizing like some places I've recently been too. The Beacon Burger was messy and required several napkins for all the juiciness from the sauces and meat juice. Delicious! The BBQ Brisket Sandwich was exceptionally messy but it was so loaded with so much meat and coleslaw, I wasn't sure if I should have taken a fork and knife too it or not. The house-made pickled veggies were a surprise, and really gave my palate a refresh for another bite of the sandwich. They seem to have a rotating menu, working with what seasonal and fresh. Looking for less mess, check out their online menu. They'll surely have something you're craving. read more

OMG. This place is BOMB.com!!! I came here after drinking like 10 beers at Jefferson Park looking for a place to grub, and this place did not disappoint. First off, Brita and Molly are Queens. For real! They were hustling and bringing me drinks and food so fast. I got like soooo tipsy before the food came. Shout out to the Sour Beers!!! Then came the game changer- something that made me question my life- the Chicken Freaking Sandwich. Now I'm a total basic B for Rangoon, but combine it on a chicky sandwich and wow!!! Loved it and ate it in 3 bites. After 2 sandwiches, an order of fries, and a piece of cake, I switched to hard alcohol and got the margaritas. Seriously they were AMAZING!!! And my girls Brita and Molly never stopped making sure I was satisfied. I went home full and happy, just to brag to my bf how good my food was. I recounted my experience over a cigarette and bourbon and decided to write this post. Thank you Perihelion. I love you, and I think the way you make your food, you love me too! read more

Overpriced and sub-par food. The "Friday" fried chicken sandwich is weird. Not crispy, and the "Mediterranean" toppings are just strange. Sounded interesting, but it's not. The weird lemony sauce on top is really out of place. The burger looks good but also... isn't. Flavorless and messy. Fries are good! Beer was not bad. Two people, two entrees, fries, 4 beers, tax+tip = $123. Definitely some regret. read more

What a great corner spot nestled comfortably in the neighborhood of Beacon Hill. While service was slow (I think they forgot about us) the food was really quite yummy! While a brewery, the real stars of the show are that burgers! Stacked high and delicious, and cooked to your liking. I wouldn't be against going back and exploring more if their menu. read more

I had high hopes for this place but ended up having a really "different" experience. The service was just lacking from the onset. We walked in and stood there for about 4 minutes while the 3 people standing there decided who should even greet us!! Then we got seated and told there was a 90 minute limit and this is way post covid. The guy that took our order was pleasant enough, then 3 of the 4 of us got our food. After 3 times asking where the 4th persons food was and the 3 of us fully finishing ours, they brought his out. Mind you this was way past the 90 minute mark. They did end up comping his burger after we said something but like I said, this place looked cool and we had high hopes. The 4 dishes ordered were 2 blue cheese truffle burger, bbq chicken sandwich on ciabatta, and chili con carne. The food wasn't bad but the only reason we would come back was for the Froze, it was really good!! Don't be fooled by a cool package, the contents aren't always as good as the wrapping!! read more

One of my go to restaurants to bring friends for a good burger, fries, and beer. There's no going wrong with the burger, but wanted to try the salad today Oktoberfest flight: good amount of beer for $15. Can't go wrong when you can't decide which beer to get! Waldorf salad with grilled chicken: OK, tell me why their grilled chicken is so darn good?! Got the char flavor, juicy, tender. It was perfect with the salad! Lots of fresh apples and walnuts, it's a well dressed salad so if that's not for you, get the dressing on the side Beacon burger and sweet potato fries: solid fries and this burger is always so juicy and tasty! This will always be my number one burger here read more

One of the best brewery's in WA! Beacon Hill is so lucky to have Perihelion Brewery in its midst because it's a wonderful edition to their area. The food here is so tasty and let me just tell you we've tried just about every app on their menu and all of them are to die for. I also like the fact that they have flavorful sandwiches on their menu and even some vegan/vegetarian friendly items. Plus the brews here are out of this world. Well technically they're out of the US as some are imported but you get I mean haha. Be sure to stop in to try a flight and get some apps whenever you're in the Beacon Hill area! read more

Came here to meet my boyfriend's parents for the first time after a long shift managing my own restaurant, and the service was painful. We sat 15 minutes with no drinks while two servers apparently fought over who should take the table, and no one checked back until we were already halfway through our meal -- too late to mention the untouched Brussels sprouts, and no mention of it when clearing our plates... The low point? A new server interrupted my boyfriend's dad mid-story to ask him to hand her a fork from the far side of the table. Clearing a table is supposed to serve the guest's experience, not the server's convenience. Meanwhile, the door slammed every time our server went in and out to do closing side work before the place was even closed, making the whole meal feel rushed and careless. Beer was good, food was hot but forgettable, and the "Asian fusion" was just bar food in disguise. Final thought: they didn't just drop the ball -- they let it roll out the door and slam shut behind it. Sorry, when I've been serving guests and employees all day and I get this back, it's disheartening (pc version). read more

Endless beer selections, good food, and generous patio seating area = happy me First visit to Perihelion for dinner with some friends and a doggo. Friendly service, but it was not too attentive - looks like they do not have an assigned wait person to certain tables (which is fine), but some drink order was forgotten for a while in between the several service person's visits to our table (thus one mossing). It was busy weeknight, so we understand where the hiccups was, but it would have been nicer if we all could enjoy the ice cold beer with meals. Food was good (watermelon salad is perfect for the hot summer evening), beer was wonderful, and I wish I left some room for additional desserts - their cake looks sooooo good (will have to return here soon to try them)! Note parking can be a bit of a challenge, but I suppose that is expected in Beacon Hill. Ample street parking available if you don't mind walking a block or two to/from Perihelion. read more

I came here for a late lunch on a Saturday at about 2:30pm. The restaurant was still pretty full but my party of 2 was able to be seated immediately as there were a few tables open. I ordered the salmon mousse that came with pickled green beans and toast. Out of these three items I think I liked the pickled green beans the most. They had some spice to them and were so tasty. But of course the salmon mousse was good too! I got the beacon burger for my main. It was very tasty and I loved the special sauce which is also included on each table in the restaurant. The burger was a good size and definitely filling for lunch but not overly so which was nice. Looking forward to coming here again and trying other burgers! read more

We came on a busy Sunday afternoon for lunch on my husband's birthday. Though it was busy, we never felt neglected. Service was perfectly timed and our server was helpful. It's a cozy little brewery with in and outdoor seating.. he wanted to sit outside, which was full so we opted to sit at a rail-like seating option, facing the street. I know, it sounds awful, but it actually wasn't bad. We just people watched. On to the best part: the beacon burger. We each got it and were each thoroughly pleased. That pork belly bacon is incredible. The burgers were incredibly juicy, though slightly overcooked (we ordered medium and they were almost well done). Usually this would disappoint me, but it was so flavorful and juicy that it honestly didn't matter. The garlic Parmesan fries were great, especially when they first came and were very hot. After the cool down, they did get a little soggy, but were still good. Both aiolis were great. My husband enjoyed his margarita and I loved the blackberry (I think) cider that I got. We will definitely be back. read more

Damn, Perihelion Brewery. If I was giving stars solely on food quality, it would definitely have earned FIVE. Sadly, our experience was less than enjoyable. I called at 4pm on a Saturday as we were making our way out of the city to see if my party of four could get on the waitlist. The host was kind and said that although the wait was 30-40 min currently, she'd mark us down. When we got there 20 min later, she said it would still be awhile, but she could seat us at the community table, or at the bar. This wasn't an option as we had two young children with us. We said, no problem, we can wait, and then my husband peered around the restaurant only to discover an empty table for four in the corner. He asked, "Would we be able to sit there?" and to the host's surprise and "oversight" there indeed was an empty table for four. It was loud in there (fine) and all the servers wear masks (also fine), but it made it really hard to hear our server. Most of our food made its way to us pretty quickly after ordering, although my husband ordered a side of fries that didn't arrive with the rest of our food (although my side of mixed fries did before the rest of our meals). We politely asked for his fries along with a refill of water. After asking multiple servers for some more water (the food was very salty), we finally got a new bottle for the table about 15 min later. We were not checked in on again for the duration of the meal. When we were ready to pay the bill, I again had to flag down a server different than our original. She brought over the check and after looking it over, had charged us for an extra order of fries (ironic, since it had taken so long to get my husband's side order). Sadly, the quality of the food was the exact opposite of the quality of the service at Perihelion Brewing. We won't be back. read more

I always see it so full of people, especially in the summer. Nice ambiance and all the outdoor seating in the summer is lovely. I thought it was ok, pretty good. Since it's colder now in November, we did indoor seating (they do have one or two fireplaces outside I saw). Because it had an open kitchen I do think smells can stick onto you. We got the sweet potato fries which were delicious and I loved the bone marrow aioli. My boyfriend got the truffle burger and subbed blue cheese for Swiss. I tried it and thought it was pretty good. I ordered the chicken nachos and I didn't love it. Not the best nachos I've ever had especially for the price but it was good in terms of serving size. Next time I'd get a burger instead. Service was very nice and attentive. Everyone was all smiley. The menu is online and it looks like you can order and pay online (meaning it's not a pdf of a menu when you scan the QR code, but it's a webpage where you can add items into a "cart"), but you do not.
