Magnuson Cafe & Brewery

"Grabbing a pint to toast to the fact that you voted is never a bad plan. Magnuson Cafe & Brewery is located within the park, so it’s very easy to swing by and pick up some bar food, like a burger, fish tacos, or tater tots, and a refreshing IPA." - aimee rizzo

"Provided you started way out on the western part of the trail, Magnuson Park is a perfect place to give up and drink milkshakes instead. This brewery's beer is decent, as is their bar food—if you just need a burger chased with onion rings that won't change your life, have at it. The patio at Magnuson Cafe is huge and looks out onto the water, which makes it a nice checkpoint or finish line to meet up with pals and their kids." - aimee rizzo

"If you’re rolling with a few children who just spent four hours playing tag and throwing pebbles around, you need the closest place where you can toss tater tots in their general direction, guzzle down beer, and eat a decent burger chased with onion rings. The patio at Magnuson Cafe is huge and looks out onto the water, which is something the kids won’t care about between bites of grilled cheese, but it might be important to your adult friends.

"If you’re rolling with a few children who just burned 800 calories playing tag and throwing pebbles around, you need the closest place where you can toss french fries in their general direction, guzzle down beer, and eat a burger that most definitely will not have pink in the middle but will taste good anyway. The patio at Magnuson Cafe is huge and looks out onto the water - which is something the kids won’t care about between bites of grilled cheese, but your adult friends would probably find cool." - aimee rizzo

"If you thought of everything except a beverage for a Magnuson Park picnic, use this cafe and brewery for their takeout mason jars full of homemade beer. They have a nice variety, from creamsicle pale ales to three different hazy IPAs. Not only that, but these jars are available as 16-ounce pours, 32-ounce pours, or 64-ounce pours if this picnic is about to be the party of the year. CLOSEST PARK: Magnuson Park" - aimee rizzo
