Halcyon Brewing Company

Stopped by this amazing brewery in Greenwood on a busy Friday. Thankfully we had a reservation for our large group that evening. They have a solid beer collection and not to mention their food is top notch too. I tried their huckster, urban hike beers and for food had the pork dumplings (absolutely amazing though a tad spicy just the way I love it) and their Ode to Banh Mi hot dogs (tasty). All of us enjoyed our beers as well some were ipa fans and some were lager fans but everyone was happy with their selection. They have a huge indoor seating area with a projector too and have a few spots outside.Parking can be a pain but there is a paid lot in the back side of this brewery so thats convenient. All in all this place has great beers, great dumplings, good hot dogs & great service! Highly recommend if in the area.

Moody vibe checks are on point in this dimly lit brewery that could easily serve as an art gallery space as much as an intimate setting for drinks and conversation with friends. The food was great and the Barley Wine smashed. The brewers here aren't afraid of new flavors or brewing techniques. Kudos Halcyon. May Halcyon days be here to stay!

I had a really lovely time here Lunar New Year's eve. It was kind of empty which surprised me but I really liked the quietness and spaciousness it provided. The staff was really kind and I loved the envelope they gave to celebrate - $1 off my pint woo! I also liked my drink - first dream and the storytelling behind it. Even the name of the brewery is cool. I'd come whenever I'm in the neighborhood.

Super unique craft beers and food items! Love the Pilsners and their seltzer. The popcorn chicken was good too.

I came here on their opening night with a bunch of friends looking to support a new local business. They're still in the beginning of their design of the interior but there is also an outdoor patio with a decent amount of tables. There are also a couple of areas inside as well as a large projector playing sports.My first drink was the BBIS imperial stout which was $8 for a 7oz drink. It was a stronger beer at 14% but was still slightly sweet. My second drink was the robust porter which was lighter than the stout but still had a slight hoppy after taste and a good amount of coffee flavor. My last drink was the red cap whitewood cider which was slightly dry but a very light and refreshing way to end the night. What I really liked about this place is that it was not super loud inside with blaring music so you can actually do what people come here for: having great conversations with friends. I didn't have any of the food but they are mostly Asian fusion hot dogs with ingredients like kimchi and kewpie mayo. This is another one of the great breweries in the area that you will always have a good time at.

Halcyon is the new popping place to be! Drinks are cold and the place is beautiful inside. They even have a new mural. Their head brewer, Tom has been brewing in Seattle for a long time now so he knows what's up. Definitely come check it out. Fun fact, the ownership is half BIPOC women so it got that diversity factor. It's lit.Recommend the halcyon pale ale, the porter, and the strawberry guava sour. Cider is real nice too.They have hotdogs with a twist since they add kewpie mayo. There's also non alcoholic drinks too

Went here for The Dope Show, which was fun. But the beer! I don't even drink much beer, my husband does. He ordered High Altitude Spy Balloon and loved it. I got Smoked Longyan, amazing! Loved the smoky flavor. Since this was dinner time for us, we got a Japanese Umami Bomb hot dog - yummy, Edamame Salad, very tasty, and fries, which were perfect. Also Pork Dumplings, not as big a hit, as they were pretty doughy. But I will go back for the beer!

Cute little spot!Went with a couple friends because it was less crowded than the brewery next door, and it was so chill i loved it!There was so much sitting space inside and the Warriors game was playing when we got there which was nice as well. Also INCREDIBLE dumplings. 20/10 recommend

Came here to enjoy the sunny day. They have a large outdoor space with several tables and we were able to sit outside with our dog. My husband said he enjoyed their beer. I came for the food. Their hot dogs are some of the best hot dogs I've had. We ordered the Seattle dog, which if you're not aware, it's a hot dog with cream cheese, jalapeños, and onions. We also ordered the Japanese umami bomb that came with a chili crunch and green onions that was very good. I'd definitely come back here and highly recommend this place.

In short:A big, bright, clean space with a kitchen full of izakaya-ish pub grub and a solid, full lineup of beers.In long:Back when I still drank beer, I was in this space for the first-night grand-opening bash thrown by the previous tenant. They spent 10+ years here making decent beer and countless happy memories, along with all kinds of interesting special events.Halcyon is here with essentially the same layout, stripped down a bit and repainted. Big dining room, bar lengthwise down the middle, with another dining room past that and the cool beer garden is still in place out to the left. The place used to look a lot fancier--dark wood, velvet curtains, brass railings. Old school. What's here now has kind of a freshened-up-industrial-space look, but that's weird only if you spent many a time in the old space. It feels nice now, too, in its own way. They have big shiny brass brewing equipment visible in the back of the dining room; the brewhouse used to be fully behind closed doors. We came in for lunch on a Friday, and after sitting for a minute or two were bluntly informed to order at the bar. Kid seemed nice enough in the end, and no doubt he's a competent bartender, but he certainly was not delighted to be at work on a sunny Friday afternoon. They have about 15 beers pouring, at least today. All kinds of stuff--the usual hoppy suspects, plus a saison, sours, an alt, maybe a couple other old-school european styles. I really dig that kind of diverse lineup, rather than 12 IPAs and another thing or two for variety. You can get flights of 4 4-oz tasters. They have quart crowlers to go in the cooler. We got veggie dumplings, pork dumplings, popcorn chicken, and one of the fancy hot dogs. Virtually everything has a Japanese touch to it--furikake, bonito, the chicken seemed like karaage. One hot dog is called the "umami bomb." Both kinds of dumpling were great, the hot dog was solid, and the chicken was gone before any of the rest of us could ask for a bite. Good food! Reasonably priced, too. You order, you get a little beeper/buzzer, and walk up to grab your tray. Food comes out pretty quickly. You can definitely order a whole meat worth of food at once, but I bet plenty of people order a little, get another beer, order a little more, and so on. Two paths to satiation. I have to say the mural in the beer garden is now much prettier than the old Henry walruses. I miss the historic connection to the Walrus Tavern, but we have plenty of Henry stuff in this town, and new ones go up quickly. This might be an unpopular opinion, but I find the new mural to be a perfectly fine addition to Greenwood Avenue. I dug this spot.
