192 Brewing Company / The Lake Trail Taproom

Having lived in Kirkland for almost 8 months, I recently discovered the hidden gem that is 192 Brewing Company in Kenmore. This brewery offers an incredible vibe and ambiance, perfect for unwinding. One of the highlights is their open mic nights, which create a welcoming community atmosphere. Whether you’re a seasoned performer or just looking to have fun, it’s a fantastic experience. The beer selection is impressive, catering to various tastes with high-quality brews. Whether you prefer hoppy IPAs or smooth lagers, there’s something for everyone. The craftsmanship is evident in every sip. However, the food service could use some improvement. During my visit, the food took longer than expected and didn’t quite meet expectations. My suggestion is to have dinner beforehand and then head to 192 Brewing Company to enjoy the excellent beer and relaxed setting. In summary, 192 Brewing Company is a must-visit for its open mic nights, great beer, and friendly atmosphere. With a bit of improvement in food service, it could easily become a top destination in the Kenmore area. It’s definitely worth checking out for a unique and enjoyable experience.

On a 92° day - what better place to catch a cool breeze than at THE 192...under a shaded tree and tent with some icy cold brew and cider? Music starts today at 4:00... Come join the cool crowd!

Tldr: no “last call”, unprofessional This evening was our first time here, and drinks were pretty typical with a premium price. Atmosphere outside where we sat was roomy and we enjoyed our visit with a friend. However, I was thoroughly disappointed that the bartender/server didn’t come to let us know they were closing up shop soon or offer a last call. I have no experience where an establishment neglects to do this. So, immediately at 10:01, the woman shares they are closed and when we followed her up to close tab, she had done it already while adding the mandatory 20% tip. We felt like we had a good rapport so we were shocked there was no communication, as we were the only party on a Wednesday evening. Less to do with the money, more to do with the effort to communicate with the customer - felt purposeful and intentional. For this we will stay with what we know and love about surrounding breweries and staff, and not return to 192 brewery.

I love this place. It’s a nice 3 mile walk. Good beer, dog and kid friendly. Nice staff that puts up with a lot of entitled BS. But guess what? If you’re nice, they’re nice back. I’ve had their pretzel and the buffalo chicken wrap. Both delish. Lots of space to chill out. It can get busy, but there’s a reason :)

Why they have 4 stars I don’t know! This place was full of chilling people! The service was excellent, the beer was delicious, I ordered the Lazy Boy Huckleberry Belgian YUMMY! We also ordered the Mountain Chicken Nachos, THEY WERE DELICIOUS!! We sat outside, it was a bit cold, but were able to find a table near the fire pit...warm!! 🥰🥰 The bathroom was really clean and VERY welcoming! I loved that it had pads and tampons for those emergencies us women sometimes get unexpectedly! Total PLUS for me! GREAT PLACE TO CHILL WITH A BEER AND EAT DELICIOUSLY!

The food needs an overhaul. It's just not good and is expensive. With the prime location to the bike trail, the outdoor seating area, and the indoor activities...they should be killing it with the food but unfortunately it's not good at all. The chili was inedible and served with stale chips. The staff seems overwhelmed and forget things often. As I was paying my tab, I noticed I was charged for whiskey that I didn't order. The beer is okay. The open mics are decent.

Hadn't been here in a few years. Wasn't too busy but took 40 minutes to order a burger. Paid extra for potato wedges which were undercooked and I ended up tossing. A baked potato would have been better. Food is on the expensive side. The outdoor atmosphere is nice.

This is an absolute local favorite of mine! I can walk there with my dog and we enjoy the outdoor set up with firepits and caught some great, live music last night. We also go there with the family and kids, everyone has a good time, always. The atmosphere is wonderful. So many memories there over the years!
