The Jolly Roger Taproom is a great place to grab a pint and a bite to eat or fill a growler to go. The outdoor seating on a summer afternoon is a nice bonus.
One of, if not, the smallest breweries in Ballard this "nano-brewery" is open Thursday - Saturday. Brewing such small quantities means they rotate their styles frequently.
Brouwer's is a must for beer lovers. They have over 60 beers on tap and hold a number of beer fests through out the year. The food is pretty darn good as well.
