If you like beer, especially dark beers, this is your spot. In particular, the Dark Pivo is amazing (Czech Style). One of the two best breweries in Spokane. You can also order food from the restaurant next door if you get hungry! read more

Tucked away in a hidden corner of downtown Spokane, Whistle Punk is the kind of spot you almost don't want to tell people about--because it's that good. Once you step inside, you're greeted by a warm, intimate microbrewery vibe that feels unlike anything else nearby. It's a true family-run operation, and you can taste the care in every small‑batch pour. The beer is incredibly fresh, creative, and hands‑down some of the best you'll find in the area. They don't serve food, but that's no problem at all--there's a connected restaurant with an outstanding menu, and you can order right from your seat. It turns the whole evening into a relaxed, choose‑your‑own‑adventure experience. Bring good friends, settle in, and enjoy one of Spokane's hidden gems. Whistle Punk is absolutely worth seeking out. read more

This shares the same building that houses Heritage bar and kitchen. Go left for heritage and right for brewery. I thought it was odd the Heritage bar did not serve the brewery beer. Had dinner at Heritage and decided to come here for a beer. Asked for their IPA, hoppiest IPA. Service: very good, attentive, helpful, and good sense of humor Beer: got IPA and it was not very hoppy with hardly any body and flavor and after trying a sip of my husband beer decided to not get anything read more

Atmosphere was pretty cool. The bartender was awesome. We were able to relate to Tacoma, so definitely made a personal connection. Got a flight of beer, he was able to guide through many choices they had on tap. I sat at one the high top tables and did homework. His conversation with everybody else around the bar and people coming was great. Definitely a person who understands people. read more

Whistle Punk is my 267th brewery visit. The location, with a door right off an alley which leads into a warm and inviting space with brick and rock walls reminds me of pubs in Scotland. The homeless guy who was hanging out right in front of the door much less so. Once we got past him though all was good. As I said it's a very comfortable space and Dutch working the bar helped us out. I picked up a flight of 6 while SWPFTD got a pint of the doppelbock. The apricot crumble had a lot of apricot aroma and flavor with some sourness and a touch of sweetness. Really good. I could sit out on my deck and drink this on a summer afternoon. Tmave' Pivo is a Czech lager but the style is dark compared to your typical Czech lager. It had a nice light coffee aroma which continued on the tongue but was not overpowering at all. This was excellent. Fernhopper IPA had good hop aroma and flavor but didn't stand out for me. London porter is a really smooth and excellent porter. This is good stuff! Cask mild ale is really good. I do love a cask ale and this just adds to the "pub feel" that the brewery has. The only other place I know that has cask ales on regularly is Crown & Thistle pub in CDA so I was happy to find this very good one in Spokane. The Chocolate coconut stout was good although I didn't really pick up the coconut in it. Whistle Punk is a solid brewery. Great beers, Dutch was cool, and the ambience was perfect. If anyone is a glutton for punishment, please, follow my brewery, and distillery, reviews from across the U.S. and beyond! https://www.yelp.com/collection/-8iscFkpiiCI563-FDfwGg and if anyone is wondering who SWPFTD is you will have to check out my review of Black Market Brewing Co in Temecula, CA to understand. Yes, you will need to read into it a little to get the joke but I have confidence in you! I hope my confidence is not misplaced. read more

Love the ambiance of this bar, and they always have kind people working! Don't like that I got yelled at by Heritage when I went to order food and brought my drink from Whistle Punk over with me. Maybe I missed it, but it would be helpful if the "rules" between businesses were posted somewhere at each establishment. read more

I believe we went to the second location in Millwood, but I would imagine applies to both locations. I really enjoyed the beer and the man behind the bar. He was super nice and we had a fun chat about local breweries. Like I said the beer was solid. The merch is cool and the location is chill as hell. I would recommend a stop by for sure.. read more

Whistle Punk Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Spokane, Washington

Whistle Punk is located in a quaint, cozy building. They have a pretty extensive on-tap menu - I wasn't sure what I was in the mood for, but the bartender was more than happy to pour me a couple of tasters to help me decide. I ended up with a sour that will live in my head forever as I will compare all other sours to it moving forward. I'm not usually a huge fan of sour beers, but my friend ordered their "Bottomless" sour (mimosa flavor) so I gave it a try and I was so impressed. They're next door to a restaurant, so you can order food there and they'll bring it over. Rosemary curly fries? Yes, please. The staff was so friendly and engaging, which made my experience even better! read more

Whistle Punk Brewing - "Bottomless" Sour - Breweries Near Me - Spokane, Washington

Tasty beer, great service and cool ambiance in this historic downtown building. We stopped in on a Sunday afternoon. It was too smoky to be outside and this was a perfect time to try them out. We chose the Lester Cup Pilsner, Distant Light. Clean and refreshing for a hot day. While there we also tried the Tmave Pimo. A Czech style of dark beer off of their side pull taps. Smooth and creamy with a hint of chocolate. It's a big space, but split into smaller spaces with plenty of seating. They are in a somewhat funky location in an Alley, street parking at both ends of the alley, but it could be sketchy getting closer on a busy day/night. Just another little gem in the brewery community of Spokane. Stop in and try their different options. read more

Super excited to grab a Oktoberfest beer from Whistle Punk and have dinner at Heritage while watching the Apple Cup today. Previously we had been told we could get a drink from Whistle Punk next door and eat at Heritage. I grab a table and tell the waiter I am going to g to grab a beer next door and he says...."not allowed". What a dumb approach to both Oktoberfest and the Apple Cup for both Whistle Punk and Heritage. Whistle Punk has great beers, but zero TVs. Hence, I left and went to Iron Goat and Brickwest who...get it. read more

After a recent trip to Spokane and getting samples, cans and bottles of breweries I had on my "to try" list Whistle Punk came in as one of favorite breweries. They make a fantastic Espresso Milk Stout! So smooth, rich and the vanilla notes just gave it a touch of the magical. Stouts are great as the weather gets colder and this stout is just perfect! I just had the stout but I was so impressed with it I have a feeling that their other beers are promising as well! And I suppose it shows. This was one of the more crowded breweries I went to on my whirlwind tour and it was very clear everyone was enjoying their libations here! read more

COVID review: We took a road trip to Spokane around August 2020. Whistle Punk brewing was around the corner from the hotel we were staying, so it was very convenient to drink here and stumble back to our hotel. We tried a wide variety of their beers and all of them were really good. The outdoor seating is dog-friendly in a brick alley way and all of the tables were very spread out. Overall, I enjoyed Whistle Punk a lot and it was definitely my favorite brewery in Spokane. read more

First time here. I had a cider and a sour, both were good. Service was fine, the guy behind the counter was nice. The atmosphere is cool. Overall setting is a little small. Decor with the weird looking chainsaws is odd. But I guess maybe that goes with the whole "Millwood" theme. Not that they probably had much control over that considering it was a different brewery previous to them. I would go back. I hear that they are working on some kind of menu. Didn't look like there was much room for a kitchen, so not sure what that will look like. read more

Great beers with a funky variety. Great service and atmosphere. It had a really nice pub vibe.

Wait, wait, wait...how haven't I reviewed Whistle Punk yet?!?! And where do I begin. Whistle Punk is Spokane's premier brewery in pretty much every way: beer, people, location, and atmosphere. They brew pretty much everything under the sun, and although their IPAs are probably what people talk about most (and deservedly so), we most enjoy their dedication to nailing traditional German and other European beers. Their Czech Pilsner is one of the best pilsners on the market, the Bavarian Hefeweizen about as authentic as you can get, and recent Altbier one of the best beers they've brewed, period. But their greatness doesn't stop at traditional beers or IPAs. Their Espresso Milk Stout is hard to pass up, and the Raspberry Coffee Sour blows my mind every time. Coffee in sours is almost always disappointing, but they have found the secret to success. And I could go on and on... But equally important are the people. Everyone here is amazing. Chris and Dutch are world class beer slingers that make this place our Cheers. We always feel at home when we're here. And Matt is one amazing brewer and human, as are his parents. And the spot is sweet. Half underground and down an alley, it almost feels like a speakeasy. And it's located right next to Heritage, which has some of the best burgers in Spokane along with amazing chicken fingers. You can order food at their bar and they bring it right over. It's a match made in Heaven. No matter what your taste in beer is, Whistle Punk is sure to please your taste buds and your soul. read more

Good beer. Locals run this joint. Bartender was condescending and rude. Hard pass.

Literally have drove 5 hours to eastern Washington because I had such a good experience at Whistle Punk. Chris is one of my favorite bartenders of all time. HIGHLY recommend. read more

I'm excited to get back in here. When I lived in Wisconsin this was one of the breweries in Spokane I had heard the most about. Now that I live here this place is becoming a regular after-work hang. It's got a bright and inviting vibe. The barkeep makes you feel instantly welcome and will answer all your beer questions or just recommend you a delightful pour to get your relaxation started. He not only brings beer but brings smiles too. The music is just right and you can bring a group or belly up to the bar to show yourself a good time. There is a beer for everyone here. Stouts, Lagers, Sour, and IPAs..oh my. I'm dreaming of another glass already. It's also a great idea to order food from Heritage next door and they will bring it to you in the bar. Those rosemary curly fries do not disappoint; especially when dipped in that pesto ranch. Come support local beer with a smile. I also love their merch. My hoodie gets lots of compliments, and you can get glassware and beer to go too. Do yourself a favor and get in here. read more

We had a great experience at Whistle Punk Brewing. Our bartender, Chris really added to the experience. He was fun and had great recommendations.

Czech lager is on point. Lagers are what these guys do well. All other styles are pretty good. Wish I could get some of their beer on tap at my local taproom, Bottles in Millwood, especially since Whistle Punk just opened in Millwood. I look forward to that day, especially now that they have a 10 bbl system. read more

BEST brewery I have been to in downtown Spokane. If you want GREAT beer, this is your place. I had a espresso milk stout and a hazy IPA (citra mosaic IPA). Both amazing. I had tasted a few other IPA's and they were also solid West Coast style. Very good, but I was definitely feeling the haze. I am also very picky when it comes to IPA's. This place gets and A+ from me. Their beer is totally worth checking out. Better than all the breweries downtown I've been to. I travel the world drinking beer and I was super impressed. Cute little place with games. The atmosphere is very chill and relaxed. It wasn't loud or too busy. Just people hanging out enjoying beer. It's right next to another bar and dance studio so it's a little difficult (not much) to find. Just keep walking around the corner. read more

I had a short visit to Spokane and was looking forward to sampling their brewery scene. I stayed in the downtown area and focused my search within walking distance of the convention center. I was very surprised to find out how quiet the streets were after the work day and some establishments weren't even open until the weekend. However my stop at Whistle Punk made the trip worthwhile. I am a fan of Belgian beers and went to straight to the Belgian Pale. Wow! What a fantastic beer! Absolutely delicious, great tasting, aromatic and a full pint. I can't say enough good things about the beer, the brewery and the staff. In addition, the owner came out to greet me and made me feel welcome in spite of having every seat in the bar occupied. If you are in Spokane this is a must visit and they were working on an expansion I know I will be back. read more

My boyfriend and I flew up from LA for a wedding and were just looking around for some breweries and I'm so glad we came across this place. The bartender was absolutely amazing and so helpful. Even the other customers made us feel so welcome. If I'm ever in the area again I will definitely go back. It was our last day in Spokane before we flew back and I wish we had more time to stay. Nonetheless, this place was amazing and definitely worth it. read more

Phenomenal place to taste extraordinary beers. An astounding 13 beers available from this brewer! These are not watered down variations of the same strain of beers but true creations. This is not a flash in the pan brewer launching on friends lauding free beer as the best they ever. This is a studied and consummate brewer that insists flavor is the cornerstone of good beer. Come and enjoy, it would be a rare event to be disappointed. read more
