Breweries
All are walking distance and have food trucks available at least on the weekends, with Reuben's, Stoup, Hale's, Lagunitas, and Maritime have food daily. They are also dog- and kid-friendly, save for Obec Brewing, which is 21+.
Feel free to borrow one of our growlers to have filled at a brewery and enjoy it on our rooftop!

Right across the street, literally! Not technically a brewery, but a very cool family-owned winery with great wine from one of Washington's oldest vineyards in Prosser, WA. Jason, the owner, can often be found hanging out and serving wine - one of the most-friendly people you'll ever meet! They also have local art in the gallery and paint nights.

The second-closest brewery to our home. Great beer, try the Helle's Lager or Mosaic IPA award-winners while you play a game of cornhole or just relax in the beer garden.
They also have toys to keep the kids entertained.

One of my all-time favorite breweries in such a cool space, with outdoor beer garden, upstairs 21+ bar with awesome live-edge wooden tables. Did I mention the awesome beers?? My favorite is the citra IPA. It's all about the art and science of beer here, owner brewers include a Certified Cicerone (essentially a Sommelier for beer) and a chemist, so the ingredients and flavors are well-measured and delicious!

Ballard's only entirely 21+ brewery offers something different with a taste of mostly Czech and European-style beers, but not without an American IPA for good measure. Thursdays are Vinyl Night where you can listen to a mix of vinyl records brought in by other customers or you should you have a collection :)

A hip spot with a massive projector screen for watching games (best at night), Nintendo 64, pinball, popcorn, and a tasty always-on-tap Habanero Amber in addition to a selection of more traditional beers. Their stouts and porters in particular are great!

One of my favorite restaurants in Seattle. There is no set menu, the chef comes out and greets you then selects dishes for you. It's a lot of fun!

One of my personal favorites that I always take oyster-loving out-of-towners to. Offering an amazing selection of local oysters and seafood "by celebrated chef-owner Renee Erickson has redefined the raw bar with French nostalgia and low-key American funk: lighter, brighter, better music. Make sure to order more oysters than you think you want, tasting your way up and down the Northwest coast with bivalves with Narnian names like Sea Nymphs, Emerald Pool, and Flapjack Point."
No reservations, so expect a wait if you're coming at peak times. The attached Barnacle bar has you covered should you need to wait :)
