Old Stove Brewing - Ship Canal

I'd like to revise my previous review. Mike Mackley demonstrated exceptional customer service by taking full responsibility for the initial poor experience and personally addressing the situation. It's rare to encounter someone who genuinely cares about guest satisfaction to this degree. Thank you, Mike, for your commitment to excellence. We look forward to returning!

I usually rate mostly based off the TASTE of food or drink at an establishment. However, after awhile, I realized that when it comes to breweries, I have to put a higher value on atmosphere. Breweries have become more of a hangout than just a place to sit and judge beer, with my most constructively critical evaluations. So yeah... I'm trying to chill out.With that said, I don't love the beer here, but it's the ambiance that has convinced me to return. Yes, it's summer in Seattle, so it's gorgeous and this place has a wonderful outdoor area. I don't know how I'll feel about it once the gray returns, but I'll enjoy this while it lasts.The staff was patient, and they let me sample some beer before buying. I've tried the amber (eh, alright), the keylime sour (decent), a couple IPA's (eh, alright... but I'm not a huge IPA fan anyway), and the frosé slushie (heads up, there's no price listed that I could see, so I was surprised it was $12 for a cup, but I shouldn't have been surprised). It was served with an umbrella on a straw. Dammit, that made me happy. It also tasted good, but could've been stronger.So I really come for the open outdoor space. There's both an uncovered area to soak up the sun, and a covered area with a big tv where you can catch up on sports. I can feel the "ship canal" vibe with the old buildings and water nearby (which isn't visible from the brewery, but it's a short walk). There's even a pleasant little flower area along the border that I like to stare at as the performer provides awesome background music to my thoughts. Oh yeah, there's live music on Fridays. It isn't overcrowded, there's usually a food truck, and so far we haven't had trouble finding parking, although it is on a gravel lot. Overall, thumbs up.

I didn't even know this place existed! It was awesome. the staff were all friendly, the outdoor area was awesome, and the sours I drank were delicious! The selection wasn't HUGE for those Seattle beer snobs who need a big menu, but as a non-picky sour drinker, I loved it! They have cute merch, LOTS of room to sit outside, a big TV screen for sporting events, and even outdoor games to keep your snot-nosed children busy while you drink beer! I am also a firm believer in having food options necessary while drinking, and they had a small, yummy-looking menu, as well as a rotation of food trucks! I have already recommended this place to others.

Came on a sunny Saturday afternoon. It was dusty and had limited drink options. In a hollowed out industrial building.We tried to work here but it definitely is not the environment to do that lol!Unfortunately the truck had cancelled the day we went :(Dogs and outside food allowed!

Super small inside but plenty of outside sitting w/ clear tent-like covering. Very casual. We brought our own food. They offer good beers. You have to walk up to the bar, no service when we went.

This spot is great. A giant outdoor area, TV for sports, a really friendly and knowledgeable beertender, and a big sun/water roof. I'm having a hazy pale and it's citrusy and fantastic.

Nice spacious outdoor gravelled area. In summer it is pleasant to sit outside and have a microbrew. You can't see the shop canal and the benches get hard to sit on.Wifi Internet is weak. Off the beaten track.

This is a neat location for a brewery, and they have a lot of space between the indoor and outdoor seating. The indoor seating has a vintage chic bar feel with the vintage signs on the walls and the cool sofa and chairs as well as tables if you like. They have some snack options but also have a food truck rotation going on, however, the truck that was supposed to be there at the time we were there was a no show, so no feedback on that. They are VERY dog friendly. I feel like this is one of those places that visitors and tourists would seek out if they want to hang out with the "locals" as opposed to the chaos at Pike Place. This is the best of Old Stove, local and loved.

Love this new spot off Nickerson! They've added indoor seating since my last visit as well as outdoor tvs. A great place for a date or large gathering of friends. There's typically food options available and a number of old stove beers to choose from. The staff were super friendly. We sat outside on plentiful benches and played corn hole. Visit soon! The beautiful flowers around the seating area will be gone for the season before we know it.

This place was so cute and fun to go to in the summer time. Has the feeling of being on a rooftop patio. Firepits available.
