"Tart, fruit-heavy sour ales aren’t everyone’s cup of beer. But for those seeking them out, this Ballard brewery is essential. Not only do sours easily make up two-thirds of the menu, but they’re damn good and somehow avoid gimmicks. The space is pretty cool, too, and has plenty of seating, with a sizable upper loft and airy interior, plus a front patio with fire pits for all seasons. Whether you’re a solo drinker looking to get some work done or seeking a spot to introduce a whole group of friends to Ballard’s brewery district, Urban Family more than fits the bill." - Brianna Gunter
