Big Block Brewing - Sammamish

Cool car/garage-themed decor, Good selection of local beers, fun staff, laid back atmosphere. Try the empanadas. They have rotating food trucks Thursday thru Sunday.

We enjoyed the Bock beer and having a tasting flight is always fun but the beers in the flight weren't all to our liking. The empanadas were tasty but beware that the mushroom one has rosemary in it (I'm allergic) and I didn't notice that in the description. Fun environment!

Wow!! Great beers, great variety.. IPA's, hazy's, Sours, and Nitro's ... and local wines if you prefer. Thank you! Jennifer J. For recommending this one. Dangerously too close to home! lol Definitely on my list to go to breweries in the area. It's been great! Trading great breweries in the Bay Area for East side Seattle. Friendly and great service. Tried a fresh hop Cascade, just tapped, not even on the board yet! Hoppy fresh and smooth delicious, great to try the local fresh hops. And then a red ale nitro.. what?!? I love the reds... and add the nitro creaminess?!? Fabulous! Smooth, tasty, and creamy. Looking forward to many return visits, to try both the beers and food, rotating taps and food trucks. If you're the area, stop by, a great patio area and a little peak a view of Lake Sammamish. Happy yelping, God bless and Cheers!

Well, I got to check another brewery off of my list and Big Block did not disappoint. I've been hearing about it for years from a friend of mine who goes there frequently, but hadn't stopped in myself until last week - so glad I finally did because (cha-ching!) they have a Brown Ale on tap! And not just any ol' Brown Ale, but an award-winning one as well. It was malty, dark, and really hit the spot on a cold, rainy fall evening.I also enjoyed a couple of Rocky's Empanadas, which they served up piping hot with a side of homemade chimichurri. The mushroom one was my favorite, and paired well with my ale.The vibe here is cars so there's a lot of automobila memorabilia and decor to enjoy while you're sipping your beer. They have cans to-go, plenty of parking, and (of course) friendly beertenders, too. I'll definitely be back!

Don't sleep on this place. I've been here for years and had never heard about it, because very seldom do I drive on the parkway. Shame on me, place has a fantastic tap list and conveniently located, if not easy to notice.

The ambience at Big Block is wonderful! They have a cute outdoor seating area for days with nice weather, but we sat inside due to the rain. The staff were super helpful in suggesting beers based on mentions of popular beers that we liked. For those who like amber ales, my boyfriend's family loved the flathead red. My personal favorite is the honey pale ale which is so light and refreshing, and only a bit bitter.This time I had the chocolate porter which was pretty good, but not mind blowingThey don't serve food themselves but they usually have food trucks/stands outside in case you get hungry!

Out on a beer bus tour of Sammamish area and this was one of our stops. The ambiance is great and was able to chat with the owner and really enjoyed our conversation chatting about, of course beer.Quite pleasantly surprised at how good the beer and selection is at "Big Block". There's a bit, well a lot of the classic car theme going on here. Has a large main area indoors and a cool outdoor beer garden going on too. I wasn't sure what to order since I planned on only one beer. But, the "Special Bitter" stood out to me as I've only seen it in cast at Machine House in Seattle and I wanted to do a comparison. I found it to be really tasty and ended up actually drinking 1 1/2 pints.Great local brewery and I'm pretty sure has a solid set of local fans.

Great outdoor area. Good for group get togethers. The decor is guy's garage and the beer flights come in a tool box.The beers are well made and they have a good variety. You should be about to find something you like.They have empanadas which are really good. Other than that, you can bring in food or there maybe a food truck in the parking lot.

Great beer brewed by the owner. Staff is friendly and helpful. So are the patrons.Sammamish is the original location and now they have taprooms in Redmond and Carnation as well.

Nice atmosphere but very rude service. One of the servers immediately seemed aggressive and unhappy to see us at the bar as newcomers.
