Bellevue Brewing Company

Solid beers, focused more on traditional styles than on crazy stuff like pastry stouts and whatnot. Perfectly cromulent place to drink, wouldn't go out of your way to go here though.

Always great beers on tap, pretty good rotation of ciders lately as well. Large projection screen usually playing football or baseball, great place to catch a game. Busy happy hour with the local after work crowd, but never too crowded. Hearty food, good beer, great service - nice to have a brewery to hang out at in this part of town.

Huge spot with a really large bar and a ton of table seating. Fairly crowded at dinner time on a Wednesday. Large draft list with about 16 different of their own beers on at the time of my visit. Flights available. Food was okay, typical bar food, nothing special. Service was pretty good, friendly bartenders. Nice spot overall.

Happy Hour Ambiance: very good, good furniture, big projector screens Service: very good service, prompt Selection: 12 beers on tap, multiple on botlle Food: quality can be improve Value: Good value beer; food is average- not good value Overall: Very Good taproom

Nice place. Good beers including a couple oddballs. Sandwich sort of menu. We wanted to go back a second day but ran out of town. Great service.

Pretty large place in an industrial park. Only about 8 beers on tap when I went, almost all of which were pretty weak, though the IPA and stout are decent. No flights available when I went, but service was very friendly and generous with free samples. Had a [vegan] soup which was delicious. Not an especially worthwhile place to hit unless you’re in Bellevue and want some ticks.

Awkward parking, but a modern spacious venue that manages to look like a comfortable brewpub. Liked the food; liked the beers I tried. Super service, even at a busy Friday lunch hour. Highlynreccommended.

Waitstaff was annoyed with my large group consisting of a couple of young children. Slow service. Needed to approach the bar for aid when the waitress went MIA for some time. The menu selection looked great but the execution was lacking in all aspects. I had a Cuban sandwich that seemed like just some random grinder with nothing to suggest its namesake. Sampled others plates and was equally disappointed. Not one person at my table thought the food was impressive and most chose not to finish their meals. The beer selection looked pretty food however we were informed that they were out of a few of the offerings - which were those we most wanted to try. That was particularly annoying considering the poor execution of the dinner items. Overall this place was a resounding dud which really is a shame considering its convenient location for meetup.

I’ve been coming here for about a year, and it grows on you. It’s more comfortable and less formal than International Taphouse. They have a projection TV, so it’s terrific for sports. Food is pub fare, but there are real exceptional offerings: 1. You can get pulled lamb in both a sandwich and taco format. 2. Tacos are street style with pulled pork, lamb, chicken, or beef and outstanding 3. Mussels are great, in a cream sherry sauce with smoked salmon They have good fundamental base beers on which to build some special stuff. My personal favorite is their Scotch Ale, which isn’t as overwhelmingly malty as your average one. I rank their IPA above Trickster and below Triplehorn’s. One advantage of coming to the brewery is to get some of their limited release barrel aged beers...yum! Good selection of guest ciders (FinnRiver and Tieton). Limited guest beers (Iron Horse Irish Death, Double Mountain Kolsch). Management is experienced...Scott was founder of the original Leavenworth (not Icicle) Brewery years ago. Overall, a non-pretentious, bigger craft brewer that’s Bellevue’s best informal beer destination.

We visited on a Sunday afternoon, the dining room was about half full and the bar area was full. We sat at a table and were immediately greeted and given menus (which was nice). We then proceeded to wait about 10 minutes until our server came back to us. It’s a revamped industrial space that has a fully exposed walk-in fridge along with a semi-open kitchen. House-made beers are decent and the guest tap list although short is interesting. Food consists of the expected slap-and-serve brewery grub...and the prices are reasonable (in the Bellevue sense). With all the hype and buzz regarding Bellevue’s first microbrewery I hate to say that I am somewhat disappointed. I really wanted to LOVE this brewery but in reality I do not. It feels like a shell of a brewery-restaurant operating in a space that still seems temporary.
