Great atmosphere, lots of seating, friendly service and family friendly. Each Wednesday is live music and there is a real cozy and personal feel even though you are with other people. The food is great, thoughtful menu and quite a bit of parking! And did I mention the amazing selection of beers and ciders? Choosing which beer to have was the hardest part of the night! And they keep a clean ship, I was most impressed and grateful! Cannot wait for next Wednesday!

Outstanding selection of micros on tap. You can see the current selection on their website. Good food including pizzas, wings, soft pretzels, etc.Lots of outdoor seating options, many under cover if its raining. Live entertainment is a bonus. I will definitely be back!

Dont come here. The selection is massive, accounting for all tastes and dietary restrictions. Constantly rotating taps means theres always something new to try. Octagon building with wrap around covered seating and lots of heaters. Probably the best winter COVID beer spot in Seattle. But dont come here, I want seating for myself.

This is my neighborhood watering hole and a go-to destination for beer for all of North Seattle! A 100+ beer selection available at any time between on tap and bottled. Comfy lounging areas and great pizza also!

Staff was pretty rude, or maybe just not interested in helping??. I asked for a sour but he didnt tell me they had some in cans as well as on tap. Then when I found out for myself and purchased, he didnt offer to open our give me a glass either.

This place is such a gem. Their beer selection is fantastic. On top of that is the fact that they have great food to eat. They have wonderful themed nights. The general atmosphere is lovely. Go here.

Great beer selection and lots of seating options. Decent amount of food choices too- pizzas, sandwiches, tots, etc. With veg options as well. A chill, convenient spot to have a few drinks without feeling rushed.

Super covid friendly. Dog friendly. Beer drinker friendly with over 50 taps. They even have ok veggie options! Check them out... Or dont because I want to the place all to myself 😳

Review №15

Interesting, it didnt record my previous review. Trying again from memory...I cant comment on their primary focus because I didnt invite. The sandwich I had was reasonably good, nothing exciting to write home about. My experience was neutral overall which is why I gave it three stars. This wont be a destination for me but Id probably stop by if I was in the neighborhood and feeling a bit peckish.

Okay. Pretty strict about masks, which I dont like. Not a great food selection. Taps are amazing though as far as selection goes.

Great spot for outdoor hangouts and meet ups. 50 taps !!! Theres. Is. something. here. for. everyone. Everything from imperial stout to lagers, ciders, kombucha, and root beer. Pizza is great. Solo complaint is that it closes a bit too early sometimes :) Bike friendly location. I hear live music is happening now as well. See you there!

Amazing customer service and a great selection of beers in tap. Some of the other reviews mention that other places are comparable in prices and variety, but I have to give this place a 5 star rating based on how comfy, cozy, and friendly this place is. There are numerous TVs for game day, and quick and helpful service. Of you honestly want the best selection for prices, dont go to a bar, go to Total Wine. Otherwise, come here for a good time.

Review №21

Cool space to hang out after a long day. Staff were friendly and the food was well made and tasty. The choice of beers on tap is remarkable; I chose one of several hard ciders, and even bought a CBD Seltzer. They apparently have live music on Wednesdays, and on the 19th will be featuring some amazing pasta dishes worth showing up for. Later in the day parking is a challenge.

Review №22

$45 for two drinks and burnt pizza, burnt tots, and sub. My gf and I recently went in early september 2020. We were excited by the pictures online and that this place was very close to us. We were very disappointed, several pepperonies on my pizza were fried to a black crisp and the crust was almost completely burnt. As we were leaving I saw another couples pizza look exactly the same as mine. As we exited the building there was a whole cheese pizza (also burnt) sitting on a mail drop off box in front of the building, presumably because they also thought the pizza was terrible. If you want drinks, this place is a cool place to go sit, but I will not order food there again.

Came here on the hottest day of the year and met two guys, including Devin, who treated us like gold. Awesome experience even when they were about ready to close and were excited about coming back this next Thursday for live music here. And the Hell Bent Hazy IPA and the Breakthru The Drip Hazy were both off the hook!!

It is hard to go wrong here! They have a great beer selection. The food is on point, service is quick, and they do a good job taking social distancing seriously (which is important because too many folks do not).

A very nice friendly neighborhood bar. I got Groupon for 2 pints and 1 growler fill up. They have such an amazing amount of beers on tab as well as bottledThe staffs are extremely friendly. However though, they are not really familiar with how to work Groupon. At the end, they still excel and complete the job great.A must go back and must try.

Fun place, great beer selection, generous prizes through FiveStar. Staff is really friendly. Decent pizza and wings. Theyll let you taste everything before you get a pint. Im really happy theyre right down the street! They also have kombucha and soda on tap too.

Review №36

Great place to gather outside, socially distant and in the before-times. Dogs welcome. Extensive tap list all available from 4 to 64 oz. Talked to the manager the other night and he said they have a live band playing from the basement Wednesday nights and they broadcast to the TVs and speakers upstairs. Pizza and snacks pretty tasty too.

Love this local spot. Amazing selection of beer, COVID-safe space to connect with friends and neighbors. With perks like Theo chocolate and fancy ice cream and wine. Thank you for letting me escape and reconnect with friends!

I think this place was a bit pricey on their beer, but had a wide selection. The triple pepperoni pizza was alright but Id call it pepperoni... and it was a bit over cooked for my taste.

Review №46

Always have incredible service and knowledgeable staff. It can get pricey but its due them getting their hands on all the rare finds. I have a common allergy and like dark beers, which can sometimes lead to an allergic reaction. The staff always makes sure that my potential selection is safe to drink.

Large local beer selection and good pizza. We got the pepperoni and it was a really great appetizer to split for the two of us. Bartenders and servers strictly enforced state mandated distancing measures and kept the place very clean. There is plenty of outdoor seating available and I was even able to find street parking nearby. I had a really great sour from Jellyfish. Head on over for a growler fill or a pint and a pizza!

Good beer selection and the pizza is good. The wings were terrible, they were severely over cooked or had sat under a lamp all day. Service was average. So stay away from the wings and you should be good.

Ka
Review №51

Great pizza and bread sticks, very friendly and welcoming. Dog friendly.The only downsides are the bar service and the room temp. Its just very easy for people to cut in line to order or pay out their tab. My husband was cut off twice by other customers who jumped the line and this has happened on multiple visits. The servers behind the bar just need to be more customer aware. And its slow because of Growler fills so it gets really frustrating when your place in line gets shoved back because of inattentive servers. The other issue is how cold the place is. I have to wear my coat for the entire visit.All and all though we loved the place.

These guys do a truly amazing job. Their prices are great and the atmosphere they provide is unique and relaxing. The beer selection is some of the best I can find anywhere in Seattle and they have the best variety of alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages. Super lucky this is a neighborhood spot for myself.

Thanks to Growler Guys for being an strong community cornerstone. I enjoyed spending the evening here tonight to join a neighborhood event that offered an opportunity to watch whats going on in US politics. Thanks to the owner for opening his business, buying a few pitchers, and encouraging folks here to talk to each other about important issues.On top of that, of course, there is a huge section of beers, friendly service, and some tasty toasted subs. The pizza looked and smelled great as well. Come check it out.

Service was very friendly and its great to have a local place like this in the area. I enjoyed trying the available selection and the canning made for some nice gifts for friends and family throughout the year. Also a nice place to hang out for some food with friends with a brighter and more friendly atmosphere than most local bars. Looking forward to heading back there soon now that I have a new pressurized growler system with a tap at home. :)

I was on lunch from work. I was craving a burger so i searched up burgers near me, whithin a mile. Sad to say this place popped up. Walked in, asked if they sold food. Yes they do but they do not sell burgers. No. I shouldve ordered pizza maane. But i ordered wings. You think wings can be just as trustworthy as ordering a pizza would. Nah. The wings were super bland. No flavor, not enough crisp, not enough buffalo sauce.. this is obviously a heer ppace so the food doesnt have to be good. You can tell the wings are not even fresh.I dont know about beer, so i ask the cashier what his fav beer was. He was not as nice when i told him i didnt know what beer i wanted which is why i asked what his favorite was.Will never come back.

This cute and quirky place has a vast selection of beer on tap, supplemented with cider, kombucha, and root beer. The decor is unique and fun, and staff are very friendly and welcoming. Due to the cold time of year I didnt try the patio area, but it looks very inviting. Not only is the drink selection great, but unlike many tap houses the food menu is also quite good with a range of items from pub food to tasty salads or sandwiches.

Nothing but great things to say about Growler Guys! They have an unparalleled selection in this part of Seattle, now with a full-time food menu. They are family-friendly and have a ton of seating in the warmer months with a large outdoor patio. They do a great job with food truck selection and brewery promos as well. My favorite bar in the area!

We enjoy going to Growler guys as they have many different beers and ciders on tap. They let you taste as many as you like before ordering a full pour which is great! The pizza is also delicious, but a bit expensive for the size you get. The chicken wings are tiny, disappointing, and overpriced. The servers are generally nice, but every now and then when we go they are a bit abrasive. We will definitely continue to go as we love all the drink options, but just know that food is a bit overpriced and service is hit and miss.

Ordered a sub and the bread was burnt. My boyfriends pizza was even more burnt. On the way out we saw a burnt pizza on the table of another guest as well as another burnt pizza left out on the sidewalk right outside on our walk home. Had high hopes for this place but paid ~$50 for two drinks and dinner and the food was terrible. May be a good place to go grab a beer but I wouldnt recommend the food.

Review №94

During this uncertain time in our world, where its scary to even go to the grocery store, this Growler Guys has got it right. Its super sanitary, offering gloves upon entrance, having one entrance and one exit only, the option of a walk up window, staff as friendly and helpful as ever, a great selection of bottles and cans in addition to the 60 taps you can fill growlers or crowlers. They wipe down the counter after every person, and if you dont want to touch the pay screen with your finger, you dont have to. I wish every store and to-go restaurant followed these procedures.

Very disappointed with their lack of sanitation surround COVID. They required masks but did not have anyone wiping down tables or regularly cleaning the restrooms. Beer selection was awesome, but I did not feel they took the necessary precautions to mitigate the potential spread in their space.

They have quite a selection of amazing brewskies. The food was just what I needed in my life as well. It had a really fun atmosphere, and the chicken bacon ranch pizza was insanely good. I got 3 lool.
