    Great spot in the Ballard brewery district and nice beer selection. Not a ton of inside seating, outside seating is nice, but it always seems pretty crowded there, so be prepared for that. Lots of food truck options between the three breweries on the same block that will all have their own food truck outside.

    Beer to go.

    Great service and even tastier suds. The beer was phenomenal and they have a ton of swag you can buy and take home. Really enjoyed the time we spent here. Can't wait to make it back!

    Happy hour !!

    So we get there and the waiter says dollar off beer, two dollars off cocktails, no food, happy hour. Then what is this menu..

    Fresh Hop Season!

    Top 3 breweries in Seattle. From an incredible space with so much seating inside and outside. To their impressive lineup of beer and their exceptional customer service. I loved my time here and was happy that I decided to make the stop. I know there's a lot of options in Ballard but between here and Bale Breakers, you can't go wrong.

    Amazing! Great options for all tastes, heated outdoor area, and good ambiance. Loved the pride support right off the jump & the guy who served us was super nice!

    cool outdoor space

    The venue's great - very classic taproom with tons of production space. We got lucky, we were there on a brew day too - Thursday afternoon I believe it was. We sat outside where they were pumping whatever heat/steam/etc. and it smelled absolutely incredible. Better than fresh-baked bread. Even outside it just smelled absolutely delicious. The only thing was....I found the beers to just be OK. The oktoberfest was good but certainly had better in that area, the lichtenhainer was interesting but not worth writing home about. There were a couple others that I tried too that were all the same - nothing bad but nothing great.

    Parting shot shows the success of the night.

    Stoup Brewery did a fantastic job with our July 5, 2025 post wedding party of 130 guests. All aspects of the evening were wonderfully addressed. Easy access and parking. The large indoor space with high top stools was clean, spacious, some low tables and chairs were wheeled in for our younger and older guests, various games from the game shelves were a hit, private bartender and full staff were friendly and accommodating, wrist bands for our party contract were a fabulous idea, Reserved signs and Welcome sign were a nice touch. We didn't even leave the party space for the outdoor patio or on site food truck. The coordination between you and our outside vendor D'Elementi Catering was perfect.

    Our final brewery that we visited in the Ballard neighborhood was Stoup Brewing. We had tried to go to Urban Family across the street but they had already closed for the night, but we saw that Stoup was still open. I couldn't do anymore beer at the end so I just stuck with a sampler. They had lots of beers available on tap, but when my dad ordered a stout and a Bavarian Hefeweizen, I had to have the hefeweizen! Both were in the sample glass, obviously. I think Stoup has one of the best hefeweizens all around. My dad said that their stout was pretty good. They don't serve food directly, but they have a food truck outside. They also have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, which are both spacious. Another great brewery located in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle! This is a must try if you're in the area.

    Great beer, lovely patio with fireplaces and heat lamps. Very spacious and located in the industrial part of Ballard with lots of other breweries within easy walking distance.

    The place is huge, went there to start off our bar crawl night. Their beer selection is amazing. Tried the fruity versions and ciders because I am not a beer person. The service was good. It was well organized. You come, stand in the line if there's any, get your beer, take a seat, enjoy. Simple concept. There's no food there, but you can order from outside and eat in. The place closes around 11. If you are a beer person, you would definitely like this place.

    In the Meantime IPA
    David P.

    Counter service brews with a solid selection. Board games are available and a good variety of indoor seating (we sat at long tables for a group of 10). The acoustics are nice so that the place doesn't get too loud when it's full.

    Paradarade on a perfect evening

    Stoup Brewing is among the cluster of breweries in the area and sits solid in the pack with pretty good selection. Step outside of it and you're only a few yards away from another if you want to brew hop, which is what I did a little of. The young lady doing pours was very cool to talk to about the beers. She made different recommendations and poured samples no problem. Her descriptions were pretty on point, so this was also nice. There is indoor seating which isn't quite that big but has TVs. The patio area is very good, maybe one of the best with decent space and seating of all types with music going. There is a food truck out front like many of the others for some bites while you drink. The Citra IPA is probably my favorite here. As you'd guess, it's citrusy and goes down good on a summer day. Tastes good in can too. My latest visit I had a "Paraderade" IPA. Has a florally flavor, not bad. As far as hanging out, with a sizeable menu, I'd say Stoups is best on this block.

    Vacation is awesome
    Kathryn Y.

    100% recommend this brewery. The vibe here and genuine friendly service was an absolutely refreshing experience. The Seattle freeze is none existent here! Excellent friendly service with a smile and pleasant conversation. The beer is delicious too. I had a pint of their flagship IPA with the suggestion it was a great "get to know us" craft beer. Bubbly, light, and super refreshing. The beer garden is huge and inviting too. Cool music to go with the vibes. Steam from the inside smelling like hops and barley came out of the vents in the beer garden. Nicely done Stoup! I ended my visit with a taster of their strawberry sour. Super delicious. Parking in this neighborhood is very tricky and the nearby parking lot is misleading. You can park in the next door lot after 6pm. Otherwise, street parking. Cheers and happy Yelping.

The space was…read moreincredibly bright due to the huge windows, the exposed brick was lovely, and the candles were stunning. This venue is exceptional for so many reasons: not only is it a non-profit venue, but they light over 100 candles for your event and provide so many things that you would typically need to rent at other venues (chairs, tables, glassware, etc.). Also there are so many things for your guests to do in downtown Ballard if your wedding is mainly out-of-town guests like ours was. Nate and the team were so kind and thoughtful throughout the entire process. We are so grateful we had the opportunity to spend our special day at Cathedral Ballard - it was truly so special!!! :)

There is a ground level and an upstairs. Upon coming in staff greeted us and informed us of the going-Ons upstairs. There were 3 bartenders all of whom were very nice. Lots of seating and small music and dancing area. The food was self-serve, buffet style, catered La Cabana. The salsa and guac were good and was nicely laid out. Cathedral donates much of the earnings made from the use of the space and are also known for their candles which I've received as a gift and can say are nicely scented and benefit causes. So, if you see one in a local shop or otherwise it makes a good gift. Not sure they sell them at this actual location of Cathedral though. If you 're looking to host an event or know someone who wants to, Cathedral has a decent space to be rented out with nice staff who will help manage it.

I placed our food order within the taproom, but I'm guessing I probably could have done so at the truck as well?

Our girls shared the Bavarian Soft Pretzel ($11) with pub mustard. It wasn't overly large, but they said it tasted homemade and was good. My son and I split a Reuben's Reuben ($22).

    Gorgeous new place on the block!!…read more Stunning new event space right in south lake union/ downtown with sweeping lake union views. Views alone were worth a trip or 4!! Came for the opening of this shiny new spot yesterday. A gorgeous 3,000 square foot event space that was completely remodeled: with in house catering, vendors, event planners, photo booths, musician! And the food. It was like going to a super fun wedding minus the formality of it. The owner was there as well: super passionate and shared the story of how she bought this space sight unseen: took a long process in turning this into a gorgeous space that it is now. It was super cool! And the food!! They allow outside catering too but the in-house catering: Kaspar catering : baos topped with micro greens and mint. Steamed to serve! Poke rolls :delicious! Panna cotta : in a cup! Lisa Dupar catering: this one was fantastic as I've had a chance to taste their food in the past at a wedding. The gorgeous cupcakes, macarons, molasses cookies and stunning cake. All were so pretty! Mark ryan wine! I mean, what's not to love as it's one of the wineries I frequent in Woodinville wine country. My pup baci's favorite too. Luxe Photo Booth: this one was so fun! The 360 Photo Booth!! I've seen them in Time Squares recently as well as at a valentines event. But this one was so much more fun as I didn't have to wait in line or fight the crowd for it. The person that was running it was super friendly and helpful too. The jazz musician was pretty rad too. And they had valet!! Butler Valet: All the friendly guys in uniform waiting for you as you arrived during rush hour in downtown: pretty darn cool. All events should be this cool. I'm only going to events with valet from now on! Ok thanks.

Guests from the events wandered throughout the hotel. Elevators and corridors with room entrances didn't require keycard access. -Locked staircase from the lobby going up to the rooms. I'm guessing it's locked due to security concerns, but access should be enabled for guests. The elevator is slow, and especially with the events being hosted, it gets busy & is often slower than the taking the stairs up.
