Jolly Roger Taproom
A secret treasure tucked away off busy Leary Way, Maritime Pacific Brewing’s Jolly Roger Taproom is a tiny, pirate-themed bar with a nautical chart painted onto the floor. Though lately it’s gone less scurvy-barnacle and more placid-yachtsman, the beer’s still tops – and served in 20oz pints. The food’s not bad either; try a chef’s special ($4 to $8.50) or a mess of clams and mussels ($8.95). There are about 15 taps, all serving Maritime Pacific brews. The strong winter ale, Jolly Roger, is highly recommended.

Pyramid Ale House
South of Pioneer Square by Safeco Field, this brewpub has the cleaned-up-industrial feel – all bricks and brass and designer lighting – that defines the Pacific Northwest brewpub. It’s a nice and mainstream (but still appreciably Seattle-ish) place to take your parents or tenderfoot visitors. But don’t even try on a game day, unless you want to squeeze into the standing-room-only beer tent outdoors.

Elysian Brewing Company
The Elysian should be cooler than it is. Its beers sound totally metal, with names like Loki Lager and Dragon’s Tooth Stout, but the place itself leans more toward a soccer-mom-sports-bar vibe. Pros: it’s large enough to accommodate big groups, it has giant windows that make for good people-watching, it serves a good veggie burger, and let’s not forget the Immortal IPA.

Hale’s Brewery & Pub
Nestled between Fremont and Ballard, Hale’s makes some fantastic beer, most notably its ambrosial Cream Ale. But its flagship brewpub feels a bit like a corporate hotel lobby. It’s worth a quick stop, though; ask the friendly staff about the personalized mugs hanging above the bar. There’s a miniature self-guided tour in the entryway.

Dad Watson’s Restaurant & Brewery
Fremont’s representative of the McMenamins brewpub chain, headquartered in Portland, has worn wooden booths and a big open dining room with a long, crescent-shaped bar; despite its spaciousness, the place feels warm and cozy. Signature burgers like the Captain Neon ($8.95) complement McMenamins microbrews – try the Hammerhead.

Elliott Bay Brewery & Pub
Long and narrow, with a loft at the back of the room and a beer garden outdoors, this comfortable brewpub makes a nice retreat after a day at Alki Beach. Pub food emphasizes organic, locally sourced ingredients and includes monthly specials. There are always two cask-conditioned beers available.

Pike Pub & Brewery
The ‘80s-industrial decor and abundance of nooks and crannies make this market-side brewpub feel like a Chuck E Cheese for grown-ups. Mammoth burgers ($8 to $10), inventive vegetarian specials and Pike’s signature beers (try the Kilt Lifter) add function to the fun.

Big Time Microbrew & Music
A fun hangout in the U District, this expansive brewpub is quiet and casual in the daytime, but gets hopping at night. During the school year, it can be crowded with students still testing out their alcohol limits.
