Part of me is actually relieved that the craft brewing scene wasn't as hot 15 years ago when I was in town finishing up my clinical rotations, would have been far too many distractions from my goal. This place, in particular, is just blocks down the hill from where I lived, would have been quite dangerous. On a quick weekend trip, the first time I have been back in 11 years, I knew I had to check out at least a few of these new breweries. Whistle Punk was great from the industrial atmosphere of the space to the great beers they are making. Particularly loved an IPA they made with some super hard to get hops, Motueka and Loral, was a really citrus forward brew with great notes of mandarin orange and lots of hop flavor without being too bitter, their ESB also really stood out for me. read more

Update: After a message from the owner, he let me know they are looking at expanding the brewery to allow more seating as well as pairing up with a new restaurant coming in next door for food option!! So look forward to that in the near future! Fun Fact: I've seen the owner each time I've been here which really shows how much he cares about the beers he makes, the establishment, and his patrons! He brews in CDA, Idaho but his brewery is downtown Spokane. So if you're looking to see the layout of the brew equipment, you won't find that. I've been here twice now and I love the atmosphere and vibes from the place, staff, and patrons alike! Not to mention their beer is really good! My personal new favorite is the Gosa! It's a sour beer that is very flavorful of blueberries! Simply delicious. I'm craving it hard today and wish I had taken some home with me! My friends and I enjoyed a nice Friday night here - me with my Gosa, two friends with the Pineapple Smoothie IPA, and another with the Stout! Each of us loved or beers. Fragrant, smooth (or hoppy depending which one we're talkin'), and do flavorful. The descriptions they provide on their menu are really true to the brew - so you will not be disappointed there! If you are looking for some grub as well as beer, they don't serve any food but have a bar Chex mix available, complementary. However, enjoy your beers and pop over next door to Guilded Unicorn for some DELICIOUS food. Happy hour at Guilded isn't too far off of Whistle Punks closing... so check it out. See my review on Guilded for deets. Overall, I highly recommend them as a local brew spot! I'll be back and will continue to recommend it to others! read more

Great beer and selection...as someone who does not care for IPA's and Sour's it is nice to see a place that actually has a variety. Each time we go we find friendly service who help you find something you'll enjoy. Cool space, but can be hard to find as it is down an ally. Expect to park on the street and walk in. But if you find trouble finding parking it will end there as you will not find trouble finding a beer you'll enjoy! read more

Great hang out, unique selection of craft beer. One of the best breweries in town imo

Spokane has several breweries to choose from, and I have been exploring them all.. what I've found is this place has the best choice in IPA. It's a cool setting with great service. I would highly recommend. Only caveat is that it can be hard to find, being it's in an alley way... but I think that makes it cooler! Love this place read more

We popped in for a flight and enjoyed the IPAs we had. It had a nice atmosphere and a very friendly bar tender. He was the only bar tender on the bar side of the facility so he was running around and was as attentive as he could be. read more

One of my favorite breweries in town. When there, I recommend trying everything. Fun, inventive styles are included right along old standards on their taplist. There beertenders, if they aren't the brewers themselves, are always highly knowledgeable on the product they are slinging. The place has a neat aesthetic too. Just a fantastic place all around. read more

Absolutely love Whistle Punk Brewing. I've been here dozens of times and honestly each experience better than the last. One of my favorite spots downtown to grab a cold beer. Not only is the beer fantastic they have an amazing crew there. Everybody who works there is passionate about beer and WP. The best part is they're all like a family and once you become a regular it's like you're apart of their family. If you haven't visited whistle Punk Brewing I highly recommend it! Plus they make one of the best (if not the best) goses in town! read more

Grand Opening Day! Super neat brewery. Love the exposed rock. Feels like I'm time warping back to prohibition era Spokane.. Great variety of beers. From ales to IPA they got you covered. My favorite right now was the strawberry infused. Snack bowl available or go over to Texas True Bbq for some grub. Great service and occupancy 49 peeps. Should have no problem with seating just get here early. read more

This quaint little brewery opened about three weeks ago. Other than their tasty beer selection it's still in a growing phase. Without asking I would not have known Whistle punk was a logging term. I recommend to the father and son owners they create a logging atmosphere to match the name. I realize it's new but the decor needs to match the theme. Although there is no food in house, steps away is a BBQ take out you can bring in. I did not try this BBQ place but it seems very convenient to soak up the alcoholic beverages you will enjoy. I am looking forward to coming back when Whistle punk has matured. Maybe they will install a logger whistle. read more

Whistle Punk Brewing - Beer - Breweries Near Me - Spokane, Washington

We're from Los Angeles and we heard good things about the WA beer scene. All start with the Pros... beer was really good and fresh. Lots of options for everyone. Owner's "wife" was really nice. Cons... I don't want to pull out "the card" but seemed like the owner preferred one group of customers over another. We were sitting at the bar unattended for about 5 mins, while the owner was talking to customers. A young guy walked straight up to the bar and was served. Then the owner went back to his conversation. We only got severed one he noticed we were grabbing our things to leave. Because of that... I would not go back. read more

Hands down, my favorite brewery in Spokane. If I could live in a pool filled with their Czech Pilsner, I would. On top of making great beers, they have the most giving hearts. Their employees are the kindest souls I've ever met, and a trip to Whistle Punk guarantees being surrounded by a loving community. So happy that Whistle Punk calls Spokane home. read more

Best brewery in Spokane! Hands down! Variety, friendly staff, awesome environment, and the beer is 10 out of 10. We have lots of options but if you can only hit a few put whistle punk at the top of the list read more

Great service and beer selection. Bar tender knows what he is serving and great at providing insight.

This had some of the best beer I've tried and they only opened recently, within the past year I believe. Great saisons, their IPA's are on point. Matt, the owner and head brewer, is one of the nicest guys and very accommodating owner. Gave us samples of anything we wanted and also gave some recommendations for other good breweries to hit up in the area. I would definitely recommend going here, support an amazing up and coming brewery! read more

Whistle Punk Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Spokane, Washington

Seriously fantastic brewery! Their selections are always rotating, so even if you go often there's lots to continue trying. Their German style brews are unique, though the tap list as a whole is catered to include familiar notes of the Pacific NW & West Coast. Very low key taproom, and you can bring your dog which is always a huge plus! Staff is super friendly- all in all, would highly recommend. read more

These guys are making the best beer in Spokane, hands down. I've tried every brewery in town and most of the ones in the Seattle area as well and Whistle Punk is right up there with the best of them. Having Heritage Kitchen next door is a huge bonus as well. read more

Nice owner. He knows his beer and knows Spokane needs to step up their brew game. His beers are decent. Can't give them 5 stars...you know when you have 5 stars. read more

Great space for this new brewery! The owner was the friendliest guy who kept pouring me tasters faster than I could keep up with! The beers were delicious, especially the citra IPA which was less hoppy than most IPA's, which I prefer. The espresso milk stout was also fantastic. I had a great time for the 15 or so minutes while I was there...while my wife waited outside with the baby read more

Absolutely love this place. Fantastic space, great people, and even better beer. My brother and I had the pleasure of being served by the brewer, so we got some great insight into their process and planning. As for the beer, the espresso milk stout is a revelation, and I fancy myself a lover of stouts and porters, so that's saying a lot. Furthermore, I generally abhor IPA's but there was a guava/passion fruit IPA on tap that I would drink whenever possible. Definitely my go to for when friends or family come in from out of town read more

One of the best breweries I have been to! They had a very diverse selection, ranging from the light, all the way to thick porters. Everything was done very well, and the staff was very fun. I should have bought a shirt, when I was in town! read more

This is another excellent brewery located in Spokane! This was my first time visiting Whistle Punk Brewing and I was pleased with their beer options as well as the service. The bartender was very friendly and made us feel welcome. I highly recommend the Simcoe IPA. I also enjoyed Citizen Grain and the Espresso Milk Stout. Definitely go for a flight so you can sample several beers in one visit. read more

This was a great little pub and the service was nice. Hazy IPA was better than most and the stout was awesome. read more

Whistle Punk Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Spokane, Washington

The service was good and the patrons friendly. The only down check for me was the atmosphere. It felt bland and industrial.

Awesome spot! Great staff and great vibes. For someone who doesn't drink much beer, I still visit whistle punk for the cider and atmosphere!! read more

Great spot with authentic beers including a delicious kolsch. Reasonable prices and friendly, knowledgeable service. My only complaint is that they did not fill growlers due to supply concerns. read more

This place was terrific. The guy behind the bar, who served us our beers, was the brewer or owner or both. We had a couple of brews and they were clean and flavorful. The atmosphere was exactly what I wanted- rough hewn timbers of epic proportions, raw rock and old brick walls. The crowd was thin, but it was early on a Friday evening and, frankly, it was really nice to only share the space with 10 other people. I also liked that the entrance was on the alley, not the street. This place has character, good beer, and accommodating staff. I highly recommend it. In addition, the guy pouring our beer knew about other breweries- even a couple in Montana, and had nice things to say about the brews. He especially complimented a newish brewery in Montana called Imagine Nation Brewing. I hope Whistle Punk does well- they deserve it! Good beer; good people. read more

Great hole in the wall with even better beer. Very rustic look with exposed brick. A must see if you like beer in Spokane

Absolutely my favorite Spokane tap room, on a quiet day, on a busy day, well night, not so much but that's just me.

Great brews, tasty snacks, and an awesome atmosphere! Perfect place for the usual craft brew drinker or someone just trying it out. With 13 taps of their own beer and 11 of which rotate, there's a little bit for everyone. Definitely delicious! Will come back again when in the area. read more
