One of the many great breweries in Ballard. Server was very friendly and the beer was very good. We didn't get anything to eat, but the chili smelled very good, especially on a col rainy day. It seemed like a lot of local patrons were there. read more

Got some good beers from this local brewery in North Queen Anne. It has a kind of hard to get to location but it's certainly worth finding it. Rooftop is located next to a shipping canal so there's not just car traffic but also boat traffic. A small tap list but still has variety to choose from. They have more than just the IPAs that are too common it seems. Best thing about it are the beers of course. It's also got a nice inside bar as well as outside. The outside seating is of course on the rooftop. A kind of limited amount of beers on tap but they still manage to have quite a few. It's about $7 a pint. Best one we had the last time was the Tropical Staycation IPA. This has notes of citrus and mango. It's about $1 for a bag of Tim's Potato Chips. The food is pretty limited, but you can bring in things. Have to make an update about this business. It's temporarily closed. There was a big fire in the place next to it and things were damaged badly, so the taproom isn't currently open, though you can find the stuff at other bars and wherever. read more

Rooftop Brewing Company - Tropical Staycation IPA And Tim's Potato Chips - Brewpubs Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I've passed by this spot many times and finally decided to stop in -- what a pleasant surprise! From the outside it looks small, but once inside there's plenty of space with both shaded and open seating options. The atmosphere feels relaxed and welcoming, perfect for hanging out with friends or bringing your dog along. The staff were friendly and attentive, and ordering through the QR system was super easy. The beer selection was impressive -- everything we tried was fresh and well-balanced. The food setup outside was great too, making it easy to grab something tasty while enjoying a pint. Even though it's close to a busy street, it still feels like a cozy retreat. It's definitely one of those places that make you want to stay a bit longer than planned. I'll absolutely be coming back again soon. read more

Address needs to be updated here. Website has the new address. Great brewery with friendly staff. Solid food options to pair with your delicious beers. I really enjoyed the Hang Tough Hazy IPA and the Pilsner they have here. Wasn't crazy busy when we were here. Just a few regulars it felt like and good vibe. read more

Cute little place that I've drive by a million times. Looks like a small piece of land right next to a busy street but once you go inside it's pretty spacious with lots of seating. Dog friendly. Covered seating as well as open seating. Not really a view of the water but it was still nice. Beers were solid - we got the Mexican lager. Smash burger is always out front. They have convenient QR codes to order. I would definitely return. read more

We live literally on the corner of this brewery. It is PHENOMENAL. They recently had a fire in their back house :( I cannot wait to go back when they reopen. Hoping they are able to get everything back up to code before hockey season starts. We miss you Rooftop! read more

Great local place! Friendly service, excellent beer. A nice, relaxing place to spend your afternoon. read more

Rooftop Brewing Company - The bluest skies you've ever seen are in Seattle! - Brewpubs Near Me - Seattle, Washington

My favorite brewery in Seattle hands down. It's a bit a of a drive for me, but well worth the effort of going. All of their beer is really good, though my favorites are the Makeda Porter, Trick or Treat Yo Self (Fall Seasonal), and Up on the Rooftop (Winter Seasonal). All the people are super friendly, the seating is great, and the vibe is always chill. The food trucks rotate, but have all been pretty good. read more

The view was not too great- but i liked the chill vibe. It wasn't super crowded but with right amount of people. There are small indoor seats available and outdoor has decent space-- ppl bring their dogs to chill. Price is fair. 6-10 bucks per beer. I got a cider though which was still pretty good. :) read more

Doggos welcome. read more

For several years rooftop is my favorite go to place got afternoon fresh hoppy beer with friends and families. In hopes season they bring in fresh hops from east of the cascade range and craft brews. Staff is amazingly and service is even better. Brewery tour, in the lower floor with then brew master Kyle was informative and educational. Rooftop has adapted well with new normal due to pandemic with proper safety protocols. Added additional covered seating in front where parking used to be. They had an impeachment beer during earlier times. Are you going to come up with impeachment 2 beer? Lately I have been enjoying hoppy IPA growlers as well. read more

One of my new favorite breweries for SURE. We were going to go to Fremont Brewery originally but the waitlist was way too long and I am so surprised this place wasn't super crowded on a Saturday. The place feels very quaint and has great seating arrangements, socially distanced from others around us. Their selection of beer seems to be a little more limited than most breweries ive been to but Im not complaining since I got a super delicious Hazy IPA. read more

We found this place on Google because we were looking for somewhere to chill with our friends' kids for a few hours. Located between Interbay and Queen Anne, we found this awesome brewery where we played games, cornhole and hung out in the sun. There was also the cutest Siberian husky puppy that was also there hanging out. This is a great kid- and dog-friendly spot perfect for everyone! read more

Very cool place with yummy beers. It's on the smaller side and we couldn't even make it outside to the covered patio area because it was so packed. So we went to the front that's not covered & found some comfy chairs to sit in. It was crowded and a couple of the customers there got really rowdy and got kicked out. Not everyone was friendly here (customers not workers) so maybe this happens often? Seemed like more of a neighborhood place where there's regulars who keep to themselves in comparison to other breweries we stopped at in Seattle. But where we sat there was a group of people playing bags and they all seemed pretty friendly. The beers we had were unique tasting and I did see food from the food trucks that looked really good. read more

Not exactly a rooftop but good nonetheless. I ordered the wheat beer which wasn't bitter at all, quite smooth actually. They have different food trucks for food. I'd come here again. read more

This is a fun brewery because of the atmosphere. It's near the Ballard bridge, and they have outdoor seating, so especially on a sunny day, it's an easy hang. The "rooftop" is actually ground level because they have a lower level underground. They have a varied selection from lager to IPA to dark to cider to wine so everybody should be able to find at least one option if not more. If you're a driver, they have like literally 3 parking spots. There's a garden place next door with a bunch of spots, but according to signs, they don't share. Street parking is not much of an option unless you go to neighboring blocks and walk. read more

Good spacing and "outdoor seating"... it is all in those tents and they have HEATERS!! This is the best because it helps keep us warm and we can take coats off! They had college football going on as well! It was a nice place to grab a bear and chill! It's also dog friendly! read more

Amazing, small, tiny and friendly place to hang out. Along with delicious beers they have amazing freshly made popcorns. It tastes out of the world. My favorite beer is Gateway Hazy Pale. They also have food truck onsite. When I first decided to go this place, I imagined this brewery to be on the top floor of some high raise building. Haha. That's not the case though, it's still a roof top but it's just like 10-20 feet high maybe. You get the view of water canal at about 100 meters if you are sitting in the back corner of their patio. The patio is lovely. Sunsets are beautiful. They turn on heaters in winter. And yeah they are dog friendly. They close at 10 pm me even during summers. I'm kinda late night person, so I wish they could remain open at until 11 pm. That would have been great. I didn't enjoy the food from the onsite food truck. I usually eat elsewhere and then come here to hangout with friends. read more

Cool patio brewery in upper Queen Anne. I met a friend for a beer yesterday and the brewery had a super relaxed vibe. Loved the amount of shaded seating available considering this spot is outdoor seating online. They had a good tap list. They also have a food truck on site. Overall, we had a nice experience and I think a Happy Hour or better food options could make this spot even better! Definitely worth visiting if you're a brewery fan. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Rooftop and their staff. They've embraced COVID culture and made a safe, outdoor, yet still communal space for patrons to enjoy their amazing beer. They offer a wonderful range of beers, all incredibly drinkable despite the variety of flavor profiles. They always have a food truck available, but you're also allowed to bring your own food. Lastly, they are SO dog-friendly to well-behaved pooches. We brought our dog tonight, and his leash accidentally caught both of our beers, knocking them over. Without so much as a question, their amazing employee brought two, new beers over. This is a local business you should absolutely support! Great beer, fabulous atmosphere, even better employees! read more

Low-key brewery in Queen Anne. We only had to wait 5-10 minutes for a table on a Friday night in the summer. There's a ton of outdoor seating for social distancing. The beer list isn't very long but that makes it easier for you to choose. There's even a food truck outside often to complement your beers! read more

I hosted an engagement party to surprise my now-fiancé, and this is THE PLACE to have a good time! Whether it's a casual night of drinks or a party of 40+ drunk Irish people, you'd have a great time here. Matt is a great businessman, bartender, and host--he gave me a tour of their venue spaces, talked me through which one was appropriate for a party of this size, and personally tended bar himself, and did so with humor, grace, and patience. He's got a customer in me for the rest of my drinking days--which I plan on being forever. Here's to many more at RBC! read more

Great selection (and seating)! Their stout's the best, and their porter comes in at a close second. Great brewery!

This place is great! I came here for an event and got a tour along the way. I sampled several beers during the tour, all which were delicious. After the tour we sat on the patio/rooftop which was fun. It's dog friendly and they have free self serve popcorn and water on tap. There was a delicious food truck out front that brought our food in when it was ready. I tried the stargazer IPA by recommendation of the bartender. I like IPA's but I'm not a huge fan. That being said, this one was amazing! This is a cool hang out if you're in the area or live nearby. I'm giving 4 stars over 5 because I was hoping that the rooftop would provide a view of the bay or city but you don't get either. Regardless it's a great place to hang out on a beautiful day and there is indoor seating if it happens to be chilly or rainy! read more

Great vibe here with a genuine rooftop deck (partial shade available for those who care). Beer is tasty and the New Mexico food truck that was there today was great. It's ironic that a place called Rooftop brews their beer in the basement. It's all good though. read more

Cool spot with some delicious beers. I went to Rooftop Brewing Company this past Saturday with some friends. They have some indoor seating, and three different patios with various amounts of covering on them. It was that one day that it got to 80 degrees so it was HOT. We sat in the uncovered patio because that is all that was available. This brewery is on the main road, but doesn't feel too crazy because there is really nothing else in the area, which is nice. I got the Stargazer Red IPA and Gateway Hazy Pale. I really enjoyed both, and they have some great options for beers for every palate. Would definitely come back here in the future! read more

I have been to Rooftop Brewing Company once before. They were at a different location when I first tried them. I enjoyed their beer then and I enjoyed my visit to their new location too! At Rooftop Brewing I tried two of their beers which proved to be very enjoyable! I had their Gateway Dry-Hopped Ale which was very tasty! it wasn't too bitter like sometimes you come across with Pale Ales and was highly enjoyable! Next up I tried the Stargazer IPA, which contained up to five different hops. This IPA was a bit darker than many IPA's but I enjoyed immensely! Outside of Rooftop Brewing they had a food truck. At the time the food truck was Napkin Friends which was a food truck that I wanted to try for quite some time! I believe however that different food trucks switch out here. I read a few other reviews and from other Yelper's experiences they had a Vietnamese food truck there the time they were there so that makes for a good variety of different food options whenever you stop by here for a cold one and decide that you want something to eat! read more

Nice little brewery. Don't be deceived by the name "rooftop"; it's only on a roof by virtue of the building being built into a slope, so the views aren't as extraordinary as one might hope. That said, the beers and the bartenders don't disappoint so overall it's worth a visit if you're nearby. Most of the seating is outdoors (covered and with heaters) so bring an extra jacket. There's also usually a food truck should you be hungry read more

What a great spot to enjoy a Seattle summer evening. Great views, brews, and hang out with friends. The tasting room inside is small. I am not sure how they squeeze everyone in during the cold rainy months. They are dog-friendly, have a rotating schedule of food trucks, and free popcorn to snack on. The staff was incredibly friendly, and they had several interesting brews on tap, and local ciders to select from. They even had juice boxes for those in your party who don't drink! My friend Jerry loved that. We ordered some tasters of the beers they had on tap to get a sampling of what they had to offer. Their beers were all decent to pretty good. There wasn't anything we had that we didn't like. Solid well structured beer. read more

Great beer, great service, and a great place to hang out. It's both dog and child friendly, and there are always a lot of both. Take that information as you will. They recently put extra patio space out front with a little fireplace and cornhole game setup. They always have a variety of beers on tap. I'm there every other week or so and the taplist is always different. Their Belgan Tripel and all their IPAs are exceptional. Plus they pair nicely with the free popcorn they serve! Most days they have a food truck outside so you don't go hungry, and they rotate so you're not eating the same thing all the time. Also all the bartenders are awesome. read more

This is a fun little spot! It's tucked away right around the corner from my buddies house so we met up for a couple of beers! I love many opportunities the chalk and magnetic darts present for different drinking games! Lol read more

Nice outdoor space and friendly bartenders make this a good place to hang out. The beers were very enjoyable as well: Glorious Basker blood Orange Wheat Ale (very good) Gateway Pale (very good) Pilot Pale Ale x103 (very good) Grand Pappy's ESB Nitro (great) read more

Great place to have a drink, plenty parking and right next door to trail for a nice walk if you need to walk it it off :)

I went here over the weekend after hearing about it a few times. The place: mostly outside, rooftop brewing is the absolute perfect place to enjoy a cool beer during the summer. They've got cards if you want to play a game, great beer, and a very knowledgeable staff. The breeze you get up on the roof is perfect for summer in Seattle when you're trying to escape the heat but you're also trying to have some beer and also trying to bring your dog. Very dog friendly! Beer selection: they've got a handful of great beers on tap and offer a flight option which rocks if you want to try a bit of everything! I personally loved their rosè cider (call me basic if you must). Their holiday ale was also quite good and tasted a bit like mead to me. Overall, would highly recommend this place and am still jealous of the cool tank one of the servers had on because the lettering was all sparkles. He mentioned if there was enough interest in the sparkle tanks that they might start to sell those in edition to the non sparkly merch they already offer. The only downside is that they also allow kids here. This is highly subjective, some people like to bring their kids, but overall the kids that were in attendance when I visited were loud and kinda killed the vibe for me. read more

Wow, what a cool place. Just had a delightful afternoon here. Sat outside on the patio, tables were spaced wide apart, employees were conscious, service was great, and beer was delicious. This was our first venture out for a beer since Covid 19. We felt very safe and comfortable. It was great to do something that made us feel normal that we have not been able to do for so long. Great vibe here. Cannot wait to come back! read more

Called ahead to check on seating; was told it was not busy. I specifically asked for a taste of the Scotch ale; so I could decide between that and the spiced beer. Apparently, the tap beer was from a keg from last year, so the server changed my request and poured out a portion of a canned product. He told me as he was serving me - thereby circumventing my request. He and his associate were going to taste the keg and one later told me there was something wrong with the flavor (?). Most of the seating was the awful metal stools; my back was in pain, so I tried to make a request to move to one of the Adirondack chairs, but could not find any of the staff - Apparently, it was "too slow" and one of the two left early - and sure enough, the place got slammed. 25 people showed up within 15 minutes - one couple waited more than 5 minutes to be allowed in, but finally walked away. I took me nearly 15 minutes to check out - Management needs to take a good look at staffing levels - read more

5 stars for facility - 2 stars for beer - 2 stars for atmosphere. Love the outdoor rooftop area and the whole set-up. The beer was disappointing. Great sounding options but ended up reminding me of home brew beer. ESB still smelled and tasted like wort (wrong yeast or not enough time in barrel) pale ale was flat. I will say this was very early and they said they were dialing things in so we will give it another try. I am not going to debate the "bring your 2 year old to the brewery" phenomenon that is sweeping Frelard (you are one of 2 kinds of people in this world) but this place is one that becomes a 'mommy and me' meet up on the weekend. That either appeals to you or not. Maybe give it until September to get the beer right and stick to weekday happy hours. read more
