10 Best Breweries and Beer Places in Snoqualmie Falls

"Ghostfish Brewing is one of the few pubs in the state that make small batch gluten-free beer in Seattle and ship globally. Try their flagship Vanishing Point Pale Ale, Shrouded Summit Belgian White Ale and Peak Buster Double IPA or seasonal blends such as Gosefish Hibiscus-Cranberry Gose and Fresh Hop Release. The taproom has both indoor and open-air sweating along with comfort dishes like fish & chips and 3-cheese mac, wings and chilli cheese fries that complement their beers!"

"Ghostfish appeals to the most unlikely of beer drinkers, thanks to its gluten-free philosophy. Large factory windows flood the modern space with plenty of natural light and a chalkboard nailed above the sleek wood bar lists what’s on tap: Go for the Grapefruit IPA, Shrouded Summit Belgian White, and Kick Step IPA.

"Red Hook is considered the oldest brewery in Seattle’s city limits, and that legacy shows in their beer. After all, you can’t exist in a city with such stiff competition for almost 40 years without turning out a product that locals love. It’s well known for its classic IPAs and small-batch beers, but also for its seasonal brews like its My Oh My caramel macchiato milk stout and its Tangelic Halo tangerine IPA."

"Shying away from the popular austere industrial look, this tap room is tricked out with warm lighting, art, brick walls, and cozy fire pits. Planters, Adirondack chairs, and a shuffleboard make it an ideal place to kick back. Photo by Megan Swann"

"Opening up in 1989, this Pike Place Market establishment is one of the older craft breweries in the city — making craft beer “before it was cool.” True to its Seattle heritage, it specializes in sustainability and organic ingredients, mainly brewing English- and American-style beers. The company not only has its flagship pub in Pike Place, but it also opened a brand new restaurant, Tankard and Tun, a seafood restaurant that offers the company’s craft brews and features its own fermentation room. Seattle Magazine named this company the Most Iconic Washington Beer Brand in 2018."

"Since 1989, Pike Brewing Company has been killing the brewing game well before craft beer was even cool. Even now with the rise of breweries in Seattle, Pike still remains popular and for good reason. Some popular beers from their wide selection are definitely the Pike Kilt Lifter and XXXXX from their eight year-round beers and their Pike Honeymoon Suite from the seasonal selection."

"This incredibly popular pale made for "normal people," and all of Georgetown's other beers are crafted in an industrial 'hood south of town, where they haven't opened a brewpub quite yet (or maybe ever?), but where you can usually drop by for all the samples you need to decide which one you’d like to take home in a growler. Which is a pretty good move since it's hard to find bottles/cans of this stuff anywhere.How to order: Growlers available to go from their taproom."

"This microbrewery ferments some of Seattle’s smoothest craft suds out of an industrial space with exposed rafters and piping. While Georgetown doesn’t serve beer by the pint, they do offer free tastings with the purchase of a $5 glass, and specialize in growlers. Manny’s pale ale is the champion brew—a complex premium barley beer with hints of citrus."

"South (between South Sixth Avenue and Dawson Street), the brewery is the highest-rated brewery in Seattle, boasting 4.5 stars out of 239 reviews on Yelp."

"After checking out some great shops after lunch and enjoying the relaxing afternoon in this artistic neighborhood you can chill out by getting a drink at Elysian microbrewery or at Unicorn where you can play pin ball games or even when an x rated adult prize out of a claw machine. Capitol Hill is also the LGBTQ neighborhood in the city, you’ll notice the beautiful rainbow crosswalks and all the pride flags hanging in store fronts."

"This local microbrewery, with its huge interior, expansive windows, and copper-topped bar, is eminently cool and is a great place to hang out with friends and sample house-brewed beers. Many of them bear mythological names, in keeping with the brewery's name, and you'll find everything from lagers and stouts to pilsners and ales. A good menu of pub fare includes pastas, sandwiches, stews, and fish and chips."

"Elysian Brewing Company operates from three locations and has a production brewery in Seattle. Three-time winner of the Large Brewpub of the Year at the Great American Beer Festival, they have brewed over 350 craft beers since it opened on Capitol Hill in 1996. Located next to major sporting arenas, they are usually packed with sports enthusiasts and beer aficionados."

"Outdoorsy beers in a South Seattle industrial park Opened after an argument settled over guess how many beers (hint: name of brewery), this SoDo brewer makes a selection of year-round beers and close to a dozen other seasonals on shelves/in bars throughout Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Alaska, Vancouver, BC, and Michigan (sure ok cool), as well as from its rough-hewn taproom, The Woods. A room presumably named after a place you probably go wandering around after one..."

"Opened after an argument settled over guess how many beers, this SoDo beer-slinger... um, slings a selection of year-round brews and close to a dozen other seasonals on shelves/in bars throughout Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Alaska, Vancouver, BC, and Michigan, as well as from its rough-hewn taproom, The Woods.How to order: They currently offer free delivery in Seattle every Thursday."

"Quite possibly the next big thing in Seattle beer Until a few years ago, who knew that a relatively unknown dive in this working class 'hood was turning out one of America's best burgers?. Well, we did, obviously. And who knew a relatively unknown brewery in the same 'hood was turning out some of the city's best beers?"

"Located in the verdant Pacific Northwest, laying along the Puget Sound and lined with mountain ranges to the east and west, Seattle is surrounded by beautiful views and a landscape that offers a generous helping of locally-grown and -raised food. It's true that a restaurant with a good view isn’t very hard to come by, but a restaurant with a good view and good food?. That's another story."

"The Six Arms Brewery is a Seattle outpost of the regional McMenamin’s chain. Their beers include a range of stouts, pale ales, and IPAs, plus Edgefield cider and wine — but more importantly, you can get their delicious pear brandy sidecar cocktail..."

"Many breweries in Seattle are kid-friendly now (for better or worse), but this low-key spot for spiked seltzer fans has leaned into the family vibes. There’s a designated play area for kids, situated well in the spacious taproom, with bright colors, games, and a tent. Adults can enjoy flights of San Juan’s fruity, bubbly beverages and a seafood heavy menu from Ethan Stowell that includes crab rolls and salt cod hushpuppies that the little ones may want to munch on as well."

"Snoqualmie Falls is a gorgeous waterfall visitors flock to everyday. View the waterfall from the upper viewing platform or walk or drive down to the lower viewing platform."

"Sports fans should take a tour at CenturyLink Field or Safeco Field. Once you’ve worked up an appetite again, go for a casual meal at Canton Wonton House or take your time at Red Lantern."

"The Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture is the official state museum of Washington, originally founded in 1899 as the Washington State Museum, though its roots date back to the Young Naturalists Society, which was established two decades prior. Today, the museum is housed on the campus of the University of Washington and showcases a collection of more than 16 million specimens and artifacts across significant ornithology, biology, geology, and anthropology collections. Three long-term exhibits display the evolution of the state over 545 million years and present the fifth-largest collection of American indigenous art in the world."

"The collections at Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture reflect groundbreaking research in biology, geology, paleontology, and cultural studies. Within those collections, visitors will find 16 million objects from across the globe and specifically from the area around the Pacific Northwest. Visitors will be able to see Northwest Native Art, flora, fauna, minerals, anthropology and natural resources of Washington and beyond."

"Within the University of Washington campus is a gem of a museum, the Burke Museum. We recently went here for the first time a few weeks ago, and were surprised at how cool it was. My daughter loved the exhibit showcasing the geology and Paleolithic history of the Pacific Northwest (dinosaurs and volcanoes)."

"What makes this children’s museum in Bellevue stand out is its emphasis on STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math). All of the exhibits are geared toward kids age 10 and under, but don’t be surprised if you find yourself playing alongside your kids. Exhibits include the Atrium Climber, Bellevue Mercantile, Train Table in Cityscape, Connections Gallery, Big Rig on the Go, Sticks and Stones, Story Tree, Tot Orchard and Water Gallery."
