Floating Bridge Brewing

Floating Bridge has been on my wish list for a year and a half, and I finally made it in! It was very much worth the wait! Excellent beers across a wide range of styles, served by a very friendly staff. I'm not a fan of large, open taprooms, so I really liked the design here, how there is quite a bit of seating space, but spread out over two levels maintaining a cozy and warm feeling. Can't wait to return!

Nice brewery with a good selection of ale styles. Nice staff but no table service, go to the counter to get your beer/food. They have food and snacks for sale. Credit cards only and they add a bit on the bill so you don't have a choice if you want to tip or not. A pint runs you $6.10. Nicely situated on the #44 Metro bus line and just a few blocks walk to the heart of the U District.

Simple yet cosy taproom with multiple seating arrangements spread out around the brewing equipment. 18 rotating taps with mostly their own beers, and a few ciders etc. Most beers are also available to go either in cans or as growler fills. Plenty of boardgames to borrow and even a shuffleboard table.

Floating Bridge is my favorite brewery for many reasons. The staff is always super friendly and they are dog-friendly and kid-friendly and they allow you to bring in your own food if you'd like. The amount of sours and unique beers they have on draft at any given time is awesome (15-20 I think), plus a couple great nonalcoholic options and sparkling water too. Their growler card program makes taking some beer home super affordable, and they include tip in the cost of the beer to help their employees make a livable wage. They have trivia nights, sports and tv watch parties, host local events and fundraisers, and more. Whenever I have guests staying with me, I always make an effort to bring them here because of the atmosphere, the selection, and the affordability. Whether I want to go and play shuffleboard or a board game, bring the dog and have a beer and work on training in a public place, or participate in Harry Potter trivia, it is always a good time. The owners (Dawn and Russ) are constantly looking to do more to connect with patrons and give the people what they want (recently added more food options by partnering with a restaurant next door, now have dog beds for you to borrow, have expanded the games selection, and more). Overall, I would recommend Floating Bridge to anyone and everyone, because I do think there is something special there for each person who comes in.

This is my favorite brewery in all of Seattle. Customer service is awesome, and although hard to bet their beers are even better. I always make sure I go when I'm in town. The atmosphere is great and they play local sports. I highly recommend checking them out.
