Bellevue Brewing Company

Nice open space. Friendly staff. Good bar food and lots of beers to choose from.

Most things were just ok. The things that stood out slightly above average to me was the Scotch Ale and the ribs. I would recommend going here for happy hour or they call it «Hoppy Hour» Get Ribs and Scotch ale

Had a terrible time finding this place but it was worth the u-​turns! (FYI is it in a business park and you need to be careful where you park) For a Tuesday night, the place was pretty crowded… with all age ranges, couples, travelers, work happy hours, etc. We sat at the bar and immediately loved the bartenders… they were funny and attentive and fun to be with! We order food off the happy hour menu and were not disappointed — ribs for me and hot dog for my boyfriend. All the other food coming out looked great as well and the portions are on the generous side. The beer selections were great and along with a TV for the basketball game, we had a great time!

The beers and food are good but the service is not. Why is it staff think they can simply not even care or provide service to large groups? When you drop something off take the time to look up at the group, smile and be available to help and take more orders. Do not drop food off, look down and run away to avoid actually helping. Very disappointed in the service. Hopefully management actually cares to look into this.
When asked to pay the server laughed saying he can only do a dollar figure and not specific. This was after he cut off someone ordering to yell bye to a staff member Cameron who was leaving then having to ask the guest to repeat order. Why does this owner even pay staff who do not care?
When talking to a host at the entrance on the way out expressed concerns and they they charged a forced 20% tip with no offer to remove the tip. 20% is for exceptional service, the server made $ 45 bucks or so off the table that he did not even serve, with min wage this is around $ 55 an hour to ignore a table– very sad.

3.5÷5 in my opinion. Great food. The beer was good, but not extraordinary. The staff could have been friendlier. Maybe they were having an off day. I would definitely come back for the pizza and IPA though.

Bellevue Brewing Company. I lived 5 miles away so been here a few times great beer when they have them on tap been here a few times when they were out of a lot of their own Beers but it’s a real nice spot

Came in for beer and dinner, definitely wasn’t disappointed. The wife and I shared a pepperoni pizza, and a salted pretzel with the beer cheese. Pizza is a flat over baked pizza, with good amount of pepperoni slices, tasteful cheese, and a zesty red sauce. Would recommend it to anyone. The salted pretzel was also very good, definitely go with the beer cheese for dipping sauce.

When the place gets packed, it’s so difficult to find a parking space, especially since it’s located in a business center, with signs indicating parking is for their customers only. There is some limited street parking, but on a busy night when I went, like for Thursday night football, there were none. A couple cars and me had to keep circling the entire business center trying to find a spot. INSANE.
I like that they have guest beers on tap because their beers I don’t find that bold, besides the Winter Ale. It has a hop factor to it. The Bellevue IPA is okay; but for someone who likes strong, robust IPAs, such as myself, I was a little disappointed. But the guest beers they provide is something to boast about, since they always add other Pacific Northwest IPAs. Also, I like that the beer can either be served in 16 or 20 ounces. For a bad day, the 20 ounces is much-​needed.
The menu has standard bar food with appetizers, sandwiches, pizzas and some entrees. My friend and I had the full size nachos, which is huge. Per recommendation from the waitress I had mine with chili, which was fine, but it wasn’t the best. The chips weren’t thin like I like tortilla chips to be. They weren’t bad nachos, but I thought they were way overpriced at 17 bucks. I wouldn’t order them again. Next time I think I’d try one of their sandwiches.
The staff and service is really, really great. They are always so friendly and you can see the staff working hard, carrying out plates and checking with customers. The stars are mainly for the service.
There are two private rooms and a huge projector, which is awesome for watching football. I would just recommend getting here early for a football game because it may be a wait (as was the case for us) and parking is horrendous.

What an amazing place! This was my first visit and It was wonderful! Our waiter Jeremy K. was awesome! He was very top notch! Plus his superman shirt wasn’t bad either, lol. I was even able to taste a few of the beers to make sure I chose the right one, Jeremy predicted it perfectly! I chose the scotch ale :) Their service was a little slow, but before we even really noticed they comped a round of beer for my dad. I will definitely be coming back again! It was a wonderful night with the family and I’m seriously considering going there for my birthday :)

I am a fan of the Bellevue Brewing Co! The location is a bit odd and there isn’t a ton of parking but I love the rotation of beers and ciders on draft and the food is pretty good too. If there is Seahawks game is on you will always find a crowd of fans there watching it, but you will always be able to get a seat yourself. They have one huge screen for games, and some smaller screens, and they even have private rooms in the back and the side that you can rent for private parties and get togethers.
They have a bar section and a general seating so you can definitely bring the family and younger people. It’s a great place to grab a beer, some nachos and watch a game.

Awesome beer. Delicious food (get any or all of the slow cooked meats) and the staff is super friendly if you don’t have four people do not get the full size nachos as there is a lot of food to eat there.
It’s hard to find the place but worth your time to do so.

The venue saves a star for this place. If they didn’t have such a cool place I would have gone 1 star. They have plenty of seating and tons of TVs. I liked the cool industrial feel.
The beer here was meh. I have definitely had better elsewhere. It was also kinda pricey.
The food was way overpriced. Some of it tasted awesome. Other food was bland and boring.
The staff was annoying. They were going for this we like to party and drink beer just like you vibe. I did not appreciate it. I like to know someone is a waiter and not just some drunk guy that wandered in.

This place was pretty good. I like the beer selection, and the space is huge. I was lucky enough to arrive during happy hour and I got a single taco for around a dollar. It was a tiny taco, but it was adorable and a good little snack.
The atmosphere in here is so spread out that it feels more like a restaurant than a brewery.
Service was cordial but a little slow.
The parking situation here is a little strange. Because it’s in a shared office park, many of the spots state «no brewery parking before 5pm.» So, if you come for a midweek brewski, you’ll have to search for a spot for a while.
All in all, I liked Bellevue Brewing, but it doesn’t have the vibe of say Fremont or Aslan (Bellingham). There’s room for improvement, but it’s up-​and-​coming and worth a try!

Bellevue Brewing Company is the first local craft brewpub to open up in Bellevue. It has been open for almost 3 years. The location of the brewpub is a bit hidden since it is in an industrial part of Bellevue, on a street full of automotive businesses.
The brewpub itself is located in a business park. There isn’t any signage on the street of the brewpub. So you will need to look for the kids gym, The Little Gym which is located in front. You can park inside the business park, though make sure to not park in any spots designated for other businesses there.
I have come here a couple times for work team events. This is one of the few spots near Microsoft that can accommodate larger groups. If you intend to have a work event here, make sure to give them a heads up so they can set aside space for you.
The brewpub is quite spacious. It has a vibe of a large bar located in a warehouse setting. In addition to offering in-​house beers, they do serve cider and wines if you prefer those options instead. They have a decent happy hour menu here which includes $ 4 beers and discounts on some eats like pizza. Though don’t look on the website for the happy hour menu as the one listed there is not up-​to-​date.
I have tried a couple of their beers here. The Scotch Ale is bold and strong. It has a higher alcohol content than the other beers, so you might get a bit tipsy from drinking it. The IPA is a solid choice if you prefer something more middle of the road. As for their food, I have tried their BBQ pork pizza ($ 6.99 HH) which is tasty. Usually I don’t like thin crust pizzas, but I enjoyed this one. The only thing I didn’t like was that it was a bit too spicy since they put jalapeño peppers in it.
There aren’t many happy hour options in Bellevue outside of the downtown area. Of the few places that offer happy hour, I would say Bellevue Brewing is one of the best along with Tutta Bella at Crossroads. It is a casual spot that is great for group get togethers.

This would have been 1 star if the beer wasn’t super good. If I was just reviewing the beer, it would have been 5 stars.
I was impressed with the size of the space, and it was filled with folks eating/​drinking. I was taking some family out for a tasting of a craft brewery, and it was my first time at BBC. Walking up to the bar, the guy working hastily asked me «can I get something for you?»
After ordering the flight (6 tasters of different beers), the first thing he said was, «are you sure you can drink all that?» (the flight tasters are 6.5 oz). I responded that it would be fine, and was expecting for him to ask which beers I’d prefer — instead he told me that a server would bring it out to me (which I understood as, «the server will take your flight order»).
I told him that we really didn’t need a server, because we had already eaten lunch, and that I could just grab the beers from him (still thinking that I would be able to choose my flight).
«You are sitting in the server’s area, sit down and he will bring it out to you» the guy snapped.
The server (a different guy) then brought out our flight of beers that we hadn’t chosen. I then learned that, at the BBC, a «flight» is just 6 of their flagship ales. This was my mistake, and I tried to explain to the server that I had thought it was a «choose your flight» — to which he looked at me like I was asking something impossible.
At every other brewery I’ve been to, when I order a «flight», they ask which beers I’d like to have in my flight. Not really sure why it was so complicated.
The server took forever to bring the check, and yeah — that was the Bellevue Brewing Company.
Great beer though!

I’m a fan of this place because of the wide variety of beers they have. Many breweries have IPA or IPA or… umm IPA?! They call it different things but are all bitter like Black Raven… I should rate that! hmm.
Anyway, I enjoy that they have many different types for all pallets. Try them all in a flight if you like! The food is OK overall and not super awesome or anything and the service is above average. overall a nice place and atmosphere.
They have lots of parking technically, since it is a business park but keep an eye out for times and signs! Pay attention to where you park since they do post signs everywhere so just follow directions and you’re all good.
The space is large but many people go so plan it well and have a good time!

Talk about off the beaten path. Bellevue Brewing Company is tucked behind a bunch of buildings in the Bellevue warehouse district off NE 20^th. If Unilocal didn’t tell me about it, I never would’ve known it was there.
The interior is clean, spacious, ginormous, and even has private rooms. The beer’s good, but service was pretty slow. A lot of their appetizers come in large/​larger portions. Two of us shared the nachos, which came out on a pizza pan. They could definitely do a better job layering cheese/​toppings on the chips. Once we got thru the top layer, all we were left with was bare tortilla chips, and no one wants those. Sad face.
Not the first place I’d think of to go for a beer, but that’s just me.

Now anyone who knows me knows I love beer (a little too much, sometimes).
Anyway, we’ve been to Bellevue Brewing Company a couple of times now and it’s a pretty cool spot. It’s not particularly easy to find since its located behind some businesses off 130^th Ave NE. However, when you walk in it’s a huge space! The actual brewery is to your left and there are tons of seating areas, from the tables to the bar, and there are also a few private rooms.
So the one difference about this brewery compared to the ones I frequent in Seattle is that BBC serves food and there are TVs around, almost like a bar rather than a brewery. At minimum there are 8 beers on tap, I personally like the cask beer.
Most recently we came here for an MYE (Marc Unilocal Event), and we also met up with some of our Eastside friends on a Tuesday night in March and this place was packed and loud! The staff are cool, but I don’t think they were well equiped to handle the amount of customers. Our service was slow all around, at least we had good company and beer to take our minds off it! As far as the food, it was OK, nothing really stood out. That’s OK, I’ll just come back for a cold one, or two, or three!

I think this is better place for a social gathering rather than a meal. It’s a good place to watch a game and have beer with your friends. They have a huge screen which is perfect for soccer.
The food was not that impressive. I ordered the pizza margherita and I wasn’t too impressed. The cheese was way too thick and the flavor was not very good. It tasted sort of like processed American cheese and it was dripping grease. This is not a very authentic rendition nor a very tasty one.
For dessert we ordered the brownie sundae. It was huge but had way too much whip cream. The brownie was not that special. Maybe it was packaged rather than freshly made.
Perhaps I just got unlucky with what I ordered. I was just not impressed at the quality at all. The price was a little steep too. I don’t care about the price if the food is good but in this case they have a little work to do in the good quality department.

My friend reserved one of the bigger rooms with a personal TV for her birthday. We all watched the Seahawks vs Arizona game there.
The waitress was nice, helpful and patient with the big crowd. I believe we did the pizza buffet (not sure what the total price was but I pinched in $ for the dinner). The pizza was pretty good (I kept going for the margherita pizza) and the beer was great. I forgot the other beers, but my favorite was the Scotch Ale.
Not sure how much it cost to reserve it, or if there was charge, but I would suggest going there for a Seahawks game if you’re in the east-​side!
