"Beer lovers in Seattle should already be familiar with Über Tavern. Owner Rick Carpenter is legendary in the PNW beer world, as the founder of Seattle International Beerfest and Portland International Beerfest, and more recently Totfest and Bratfest. This easy-to-miss spot on Aurora Avenue houses one of the strongest beer collections in the city. There’s a rotating selection of 17 beers on tap, from IPAs to saisons, hefeweizens to quads. In the fridge, there’s an even more impressive selection of bottles, cans, and half-price growlers to go. A simple food menu is available, but you can also order delivery. Dogs are welcome." - Sarah Engstrand
