"Sometimes you get stir-crazy after bouncing around the same breweries in Ballard. Cool off at Trailbend Taproom. It’s in the middle of the brewery district, but it isn’t a brewery—they just serve beer, with tap options coming from everywhere from Belgium to Bellingham. And if you’re really just sick of beer, maybe a taproom wasn’t the right plan of attack for you, but an Aperol spritz or some spiked cold brew aren’t bad ideas. Neither is a ricotta garlic bread boat." - Aimee Rizzo
