Ridgecrest Public House

The Ridgecrest Public House has ample beers and ciders on tap with an interesting selection of cocktails as well that are wine or beer based. I came here with a group of friends having reserved one of the outdoor dining tables near a heater. The heater was nice and powerful and kept us cozy even after the sun set and the temperatures dropped. I was completely impressed with our server as she appeared to be the only person actively working. Every once in awhile another employee would emerge but I wasn't sure what his role was as he would help one specific table and no one else while the lady was taking care of the five groups inside and the three groups, including us, outside. She was a machine! I didn't begrudge not being checked on regularly as I was surprised she had time to check at all! The cider flight was a lot of fun, good price point, and a variety of flavors. There was a food truck outside but opted for the grilled cheese and tomato soup. I have had better but for the price point it was fine - not especially cheesy but still balanced. It was satisfying but not necessarily wowing. It was a good experience!

This adorbs little beer hall in Shoreline is a super-popular neighborhood watering hole featuring an impressive line-up of draft crafts, plus wine and cider too. During my recent visit on a soggy Saturday evening the place was full to the brim with people (and even a few dogs) enjoying tasty pints and a Mexi-Cuban food truck parked outside. No, the Ridgecrest doesn't have food, but their rotation of food trucks is on point (check out their website link on Yelp for all the deets) and would definitely be a reason to keep going back.There's seating inside and out, and it's self-service so be ready for a line at the bar if they're busy. I really loved the neighborhood feel of this place, in a way that I thought "Hmmmm, I wonder how much houses are in this area?"

This is a cozy place I stop off at frequently on my way too and from the cheap movies next door. At times parking can be challenging, but there are always spots to be found in the neighborhood. I occasionally make it here just to enjoy a beer and check out the food truck. I am so thankful they have had Plum Bistro lately as it's great to have some vegan options. I've also enjoyed Anchor End Pretzels in the past. They have a food truck most nights, which is great because there are really no other food options nearby and sometimes I don't want to eat popcorn for dinner. I always make it a point to check out what the food truck option is whenever I decide to head out to the movies. As a beer lover I appreciate a place with a lot of variety, and here they have 18 beers on tap. I am always able to find something new and unique that appeals to me. The way they list it on the wall is always helpful too, especially if you kind of know what you are looking for and don't want to read the whole board. The flights always sound fun too. They also have cider and wine if that is more your thing. At times it can be crowded, but there is an outdoor area that is great in the summer. I appreciate that this place is 21 plus and that dogs are only allowed out front. I've seen lots of great artwork posted here and the service is always fast and friendly. One day I hope to check out the running group that meets here.

Stopped by on a Friday night for a beverage before seeing a movie at the nearby Crest Theater. They had a wide selection on tap, and the beers I sampled were very good. My wife also enjoyed her cider. It's a pretty small little place that was very busy but they do come by your table to see about refills. I don't know that we will be back often but that is only because it's not terribly close to home.

First visit to Ridgecrest Public House and was primarily there to check out the food truck they were hosting, CheBogz Filipino Food Truck from Federal Way. That's a long haul to Shoreline!However, I was pleasantly surprised with the interior, well patronized pub with folks at the counter, large party at a mass table, as well as, singles and pairs. The bartender in particular was very friendly and well versed in products served. The Sea Cider Wolf in the Woods was well received.Nice that they host a variety of food trucks and allow outside food to be consumed onsite. They provide a calendar so you can try a variety or follow a favorite. Even saw someone come in with a box of Jimmy John sammies. Variety of beer, wine, ciders, and soda available. Bummer there was no Rachel's Ginger Beer during my visit, but that a minor blip.Nice find in Shoreline's Ridgecrest neighborhood, diagonal from Cafe Aroma and around the corner from the Crest movie theater.

Great little pub! Not the best selection of brews but still a nice place to grab a pint and visit with friends. And they always have a good food truck outside!

One of my favorite pubs in Seattle. It's a perfect place to hang out and get a drink. They have great food now too. They have yummy food trucks as well. Great service. Good selection of beers, board games, etc.

Despite this being not too far from me, I have embarrassingly not been here before this past month-- both times were due to school event planning meetings with other moms who live closer to this area.First time was on a Friday evening in mid-May and since I was on a dry month did not drink but got a half order of the cheese knots (3) w/ their housemade cheese sauce. It's actually from the Drumlin pub menu (next door) and made by Kaffeeklatsch bakery on Lake City Way.The second time was on a Wednesday afternoon in mid-June. This time I did drink a couple of glasses of sparkling rose wine. Food-wise, this was dinnertime and I ordered a RIDGECREST sandwich, ($10; Grilled cheese with provolone, cheddar, mozzarella on Kaffeeklatsch sourdough) and did a side sub of soup (+$4; Tomato soup- Like marinara, with tomatoes, cashew cream, oat milk, optional parmesan cheese)Food was basic pub food, but I love the neighborhood casual vibe. I peeked at their food truck lineup on the website, which somehow I missed both times I came here and it looks impressive. Next time I'll have to wander out to the curb and try the food truck scene.

they hold everyone's credit cards if you want to run a tab. And they're terrible about getting the credit cards back to you. So if you go and want to use a credit card be very careful to get your card back

Neat little pub. Food trucks out front every day. Very friendly staff who don't mind if you need to sample one of their 20 taps to make a decision.
