Figurehead Brewery in Queen Anne is probably my favorite brewery in all of Seattle, and I'm thrilled to see it expand into Wallingford! The space is much bigger, with both an indoor and outdoor seating area. And of course, the beer does not disappoint!
The cherry on top is the shared space with MY favorite ramen in the city - Midnite Ramen. Located in the back of the brewery, you can find the humble origins of the food truck with the original truck literally parked inside. It brings a tear to my eye to know how the small mom-and-pop ramen truck has evolved to be a part of something bigger - it deserves much more recognition tbh.
With such expansion, there are growing pains - it was pretty chaotic to order our ramen, and I'm sure our order got lost (which resulted in a 1.5 hour wait). Paired with the hectic hustle and bustle of Figurehead customers, it was a bit overwhelming. The owners were so apologetic and polite, and despite the chaos, they still managed to serve with a smile on their face. But with a new environment, there's always a need for adjustment, and I'm sure Midnite ramen will bounce back fast. Figurehead brewery has secured my loyalty, and I will be back in no time.
