"People come to Pike Brewing to duck away from the crowds of Pike Place Market, enjoy one of the world’s most extensive collections of beer memorabilia, and to get a full view of Pike’s active brew kettle. But they also come for the beer and a satisfying food menu that includes crab chowder, pretzels, burgers, and pizza. There are also several vegan and vegetarian options, like the mushroom veggie burger. You can’t go wrong with the Space Needle IPA as a crisp counterpart for any of the bites. If you prefer people-watching over Post Alley, head upstairs to the cozy Pike Fish Bar for fresh-shucked oysters and steamed manilla clams with Pike Place Ale." - Brianna Gunter
