This place is awesome. Beer is always great and if you sit at the bar and ask nicely, the brewer, Pete, will give you a neck massage!
Great beer and great games. Did I mention pinball!!! New and classic games. What a cool place.
Excellent beers, nice people, great atmosphere - really enjoyed my visit!
The people were great and beer was too
Definitely will try again.
It was a great time and the beer was also great. Thanks for hosting an event on Christmas Eve
We love Populuxe and their new set-up! Great beers, family friendly, outdoor seating, spacious setting, usually food trucks, excellent brew selection! ��
Best beer selection, best atmosphere, and great for small kids.
What an honor to be asked on at this fantastic Nano brewery. After only a few shifts pouring I am eyes wide open to the fact that this is the best beer around! Gold medal winner for our CDA! Come get some folks you will not be disappointed! Promise!
This is my favorite Ballard Brewery--hands down.
Best beer in Seattle, hands down. Clean, crisp beers, and an awesome beer garden. Prost!
Nice patio area easy parking lots of beer choices.
Great beer, atmosphere and friendly staff!!! We lived it!
Great Beer. Great Owners. Great Bartenders! My favorite place in Ballard!!!
So fun ...great place for adults and kids to play
Love the vibe here. Out door area is great. Drinks are tasty. Amy and Pete are good folk and Penny is a power house. Come here and see for yourself!
Very nice, friendly place to stop for a good beer at a nice price. There is a large amount of space pretty spread out, which gives some separate areas for groups. There is a cool arcade area up front with some seating space and old-school games.
Another awesome brewery! I love when homebrewers make the step to become a local brewery! You get a welcoming family feel that makes it seem you are already invited to the next family reunion! Great selection of beer and a great staff ready to answer all your questions/educate about their beers! They have several arcade games that makes it fun for the whole fam! There was a food truck outside that has a rotation of trucks daily!
Great beer selection. There is something for everyone. The outdoor space and food trucks will not disappoint. Say “Hi” to Keith at the bar for us. He is the nicest guy!
Another of the great breweries in Seattle. This one is micro sized, but there are a surprising number of places to sit for its size. The beer is high quality, and they do a wide range of styles.

Pretty good beer, big open outdoor space, classic arcade game room, and Fugazi blasting on the speakers when I arrived! This is exactly my kind of place.
Great place! Would definitely go back!
Has interesting and delicious drinks. I liked the blood orange cider I got. Just a little sweet and a good amount of tangy. Very cool chairs, loved the art on the wall. Friendly staff.
There's also pinball machines and other great arcade games! This was very fun.
Another huge plus is bringing kids, dogs, and hanging out with friends having a delicious drink.
I love the beer here, and their space is fantastic. There is so much room to spread out. Great place to take a group! Grab some food from the food trucks they host, play games, drink delicious beers, hang out and talk. I love the atmosphere and love the beer - they have a good variety, not just a bunch of IPAs like some Seattle breweries focus on. They have that plus a lot more.
Really good beer and great atmosphere!

One of the few places we feel comfortable taking our masks off. Good spacing with tables, clear attention to sanitization (but seriously people, follow the instructions to put your glasses upside down in the racks), and overall good attention by patrons to masking when up from the table. Covid mess aside, the beer is fantastic and there are always a good variety of offerings from dark and malty to light and hoppy, and even usually a sour, cider, and wine selection. Rotating food trucks often make an appearance as well, but even when there isn't one, there's usually one within a few blocks or you can get delivery. A pre-pandemic favorite we're pleased to see still going strong and protecting both employees and patrons.
This is an amazing space with great... Absolutely great beer! Such friendly staff, and very welcoming of kids, dogs, and humans in general. Lots of space to sit inside and out, great art on the walls, cool chairs. Loved this place!
This is a favorite brewery of mine. They used to have just a tiny indoor area, so the beer garden has always been a draw. The beers are good and staff friendly. They now have a decent sized tap room on the other side of the beer garden from the original.
Great brews and chill local atmosphere. Has a great small pub atmosphere on the inside, on the outside is a patio space for larger groups, or crowds when it's a sunny day. During the winter, they have a fire pit outside running on the weekends.
One of my favorite breweries in the neighborhood.
2nd visit, beers were great and good variety. Had two that were under carbonated, which was better than the first trip (all under carbonated that time). Pretty empty even on a Saturday night, but beer-tenders are nice. Dress warm in the winter it is cold inside the tap room.
The beer's good and there are constantly new and surprising beers on tap. But that's not what makes this place shine for me. Go on most any night (so long as it's Thursday through Sunday) and you'll meet the brewer, Peter, have a long chat with Penny or a witty exchange with Keith (excellent bar tenders) and this places simply oozes a local, thoughtful and humble approach to making and serving good beer. Throw in a food truck, some corn hole (a.k.a., bags) and the chance to meet your Ballard neighbors, and this is a spot you must visit.
My only complaint is that they're moving a lot over and out of the cozy tasting room. Progress? Bah humbug. I'll miss the small tasting room that forced conversation and good banter.
Good spot. Has evolved from smaller hipster place to a dog friendly, kid friendly pedal pub crawl friendly hang out. Pinball and classic video games. Good beer and food trucks always available
