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. All the beers are organic and range from the light Luna Weizen to the heavy-hitting Demolition IPA.

The food goes way outside the conventional 'pub grub' box with a pan-seared tofu sandwich and a quinoa garbanzo salad. It even offers burgers topped with beets and blue cheese.
