    We had a photographer!
    Paul K.

    We came to Tapster for a group gathering and really enjoyed ourselves. The place is very casual with you getting a Tapster debit card at the front and then using it to try any and all of the tapped offerings. They have a variety of glassware to select and even an upside down glass washing device at the taps so you can reuse the same glass throughout the visit. Tapster could use a few more non-alcoholic tapped beverages like a cider as they only had a delicious root beer and Kombucha and another non-alcohol tap but everything else was spot on. I loved the selections of the rest of the taps and they even had some wine choices and a Strawberry Margartia that I tried. Most of the beer taps were local to the PNW. We had a great time visiting and taking photos on their swing chairs and pretty decor. The staff was super helpful and friendly and took the time to chat with us and ask how we liked the offerings. I also noticed a lot of board games behind the counter and am not sure if you check them out or "rent" them. I never asked. They also had some hard liquor behind the counter that you can purchase shots, I believe. There is free popcorn available at the counter and other small snacks you can purchase as well as some canned bevies in a cooler but no other food. However, this place is dog-friendly and they allow outside food to be brought in. This is a great place to meet up with friends in a central Bellevue location and you can certainly try a huge variety of beers and other beverage offerings at a casual pace.

    I really liked this place! It's a cool concept with a refillable card to choose your own drinks. Came here with a Yelp event for a spontaneous drink and it was fun. They have a ton of options and as a newbie, I was able to basically a little of all of their options. The interior is also cool since they have swings! They also have a photo booth inside! Would recommend if you're into beer and drinks if that sort!

    Many, many taps

    What a delightful place for experiencing many different types of brews and ciders. Stop by here with a bunch of friends and we had a great time trying all the different beers, ciders and even a few wines. My favorite was the Doppelbach, but other others really like the fruity beers. Some like the IPAs some like the ciders. They don't serve any food here but they do let you bring food from outside. We brought in some pizzas from pagliacci a few doors away. Love the way they work with a in-store "debit" card, that you load up with their cash register, then "tap and pour" as much as you want, and it deducts it from your card. I started with a little shot glass and tasted about eight different beers before I settle on the pint of the doppelbach

    Love Tapster and will be back! Some yum beers, a supe cool vibe and just the sweetest dog (Love Rex). They dont serve food, but you can bring your own and have fun. Love the swings, decor and their music. Also got to try some in-house made slushy. Yes, please. Super fun evening.

    This is stupid expensive for a beer. And then .76¢ service charge? For what service exactly? Then they also want a tip. It's a scam

My boyfriend and I came here for a tasting, which was a nice way of learning more about the company and the wines. According to the employee, the wine is created to fit any personality and/or vinotype, and is from California. As someone who drinks bold and full-bodied reds, the wine here that is supposed to speak to me is the cabernet sauvignon. However, like with all of the wines here, the cab sauv was very light and sweeter than I anticipated. With that said, I wasn't a fan of any of the wines, which is too bad since the concept seems nice. Great Wine is located on the retail level of the Elements Apartments in downtown Bellevue. The space is beautiful, as it can accommodate private events and parties with its huge communal table. It also has floor-to-ceiling windows, which gets wonderful natural light and makes the space feel more open and large. Yet unfortunately, I just didn't prefer any of the wines here.

I used to come down here often but now it takes 20 minutes to get there instead of five in the old days. The window display grabbed my attention because it had a lot of cute new jellycats. Went inside and they had a small section of new Jellycats, picked up two of the Valentine's Day macaroons and looked at a couple others. They had several great sale items at 70% off. Overall, the store is super cute and the owner and the person that were working there were super nice and friendly. I find the other reviews hard to believe but maybe they've changed over the years. Would definitely stop in here again if I was looking for a gift or the latest in JellyCats..

No "hello," no acknowledgment nothing. Almost immediately after, another white customer came in and she greeted her and began helping her right away. The difference in treatment was very noticeable. Throughout the time we were in the store, she kept looking at me in a strange and uncomfortable way. It felt like we were being judged rather than welcomed as paying customers. There was no effort to assist us, check on us, or make us feel comfortable in the space. Customer service should be equal and respectful to everyone who walks through the door. Instead, I left feeling ignored and singled out. I don't take accusations like this lightly, but the experience genuinely felt discriminatory. I hope management takes this seriously and evaluates how customers are being treated. No one should feel unwelcome in a business because of how they look.

    05/24/2026 TASTING…read moreROOM I loved visiting this winery and can't believe I didn't the few other times I traveled to Seattle. They do a summer concert series, and it was the first one of the season. My friend and I got there early, and only one other group had started lining up for VIP. So we went to the tasting room and grabbed seats at the bar. They were offering a $30 "Take Away Flight" with both red and white wine options. I got three reds and the white that they promoted for the summer concert series. All of them were pretty good. I loved how the wine flight was presented (see photo). I would definitely go back just to hang out at the winery next time and drink more. SUMMER CONCERT SERIES I thought the concert would be well organized since this isn't their first time. However, the staff seemed lost when it came to when and where the VIP check-in would be. We had Soundcheck VIP tickets for Yellowcard, and didn't get to go in until like 45 minutes after the scheduled time. So that cut into the VIPs' early entry time. Fortunately we got to the merch tables right before they let general admission in. There were plenty of porta potties. A decent amount of food options. We got a burger and chicken fingers & fries. Of course they offered wine, as well as beer. You also had the option to buy wine bottles at the winery and bring it into the concert area. We sat front row, which had a great view, but it was also right in front of a walkway, so that was a bit annoying. Watching soundcheck and the concert itself was very fun. Overall a good experience, and I would go back!

Michelle is nice, but don't expect a true wine-tasting experience. The staff rushes you from the moment you arrive and tells you how long you have the table before you even sit down.

The food was actually great, but our server even asked us to go to the front to order it. Overall, the service felt very rushed and unorganized. The place was packed and seemed overbooked. I would skip it if you're looking for a relaxed, enjoyable wine-tasting experience.

Popped by on a Wednesday afternoon for a few glasses of vino. I've tried both their signature red and mix flight over the past months, loved it everytime. My friend got the red flight and I went for their mix flight. But I noticed they have raised their price from $10 (Mix flight) and $15 (Red flight) by $5 to $15 and $20 respectively now. Also, a little -0.5 star because for some reasons, all our drinks have sediments/cork particles in our red wines (see picture). It's not in a particular red wine, but pretty much all glasses of red wine...... that kinda ruined the experience a little when the cork crumbles get in your mouth. The service is pretty great on this slow day since we were the only table here. They brought us water and refilled it for us timely as well without having us to flag them down for it. All in all, still was a pleasant experience with a little bummer with the cork crumbles in our wines.

    Such a fun and unique wine-tasting experience at Sama Cellars in Redmond!…read more We tried both the Light & Bright Flight and the Mixed Flight, with five tastes in each. My favorite white was the Rhône Blanc--not too dry, with a light citrusy touch that made it really easy to enjoy. For the reds, the 2023 Grenache was definitely my favorite. The location is a little unexpected for a winery since it's in a shopping center next to Starbucks, but I actually loved the setting. There's nice outdoor seating right by the kids' fountain, which makes it especially convenient if you're visiting with little ones. Inside has a completely different feel--quiet, cozy, and perfect for a small gathering or even sitting with a book and a glass of wine. The coolest part is the presentation! The tasting experience feels a little like being in a wine lab. Your pours come in little test tubes, and you pour each one into your own glass as you taste.
