Populuxe Brewing

Top choice in Ballard & Discovery Park


Microbreweries too large for you? Move down a notch to a nano-brewery. The menu of nine ever-changing brews is impossible to predict; just bank on it being made with skill, know-how and a whole lotta love. Food carts park outside in the small 'garden,' where you can sit, sup and play cornhole on warm summer evenings.
